Section OneSetoOn PageslIto12 Pgsio1 VOL. XLI MANNiNG, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER~ 28, 1921.N. ~ RAILROAD WORKERS IN FAVOR OF SIRIKE From Opening of First Envelope ac Ballots Were Received by Mail Indication That Strike Vote Would Prevail Was Overwhelm ing, Say Men at Headquarters. Chicago, Sept. 26 By the Associated Press.)--Leaders of the big four brotherhoods affiliated unions tonight declared they had little doubt that the railway employees had voted for a general strike rather than accept a wage reduction, but announced that the conservative counsel of the lead ers might prevail against a walk From the opening of the first en velope, it was said, it was clear that there would be a majority for a strike. Giving an estimated major ity, Vice President Murdock of the engineers said: "Our past experience has been that 98 per cent. of the men always vote I to strike." Next Monday officials o fthe Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, Or der of Railway Conductors, Brother hood of Locomotive Firemen and En ginemen and Switchmen's Union of North America will meet here to count the strike votes of their 259, 000 members. Railroad union leaders here expect; all the brotherhoods and the Switch men's union to cast substantial ma jorities for a strike. The affiliated. shop crafts have already voted, by a majority of approximately 325,0001 to 48,000 to walk out and are only. waiting to see what action the otherl unions will take ar.d for the United States railroad labor board to dis- I pose of the pending working rules agreements. Reports of the general chairmen of the trainment when they assembled today were plainly disappointing to the union leaders. The trainmen had voted on a separate ballot because their leaders did not approve of the joint ballot prepared by the other union. On September 12 President W. G. Lee addressed a circular let ter to the men in which he pointed out five reasons why he thought aI strike would be unwise at this time and why the men might expect to accept some wage reduction. He asked the men to consider the fact that wages and working condi tions of all classes established since 1918 were the result of a world war; that 5,000,000 men are now unem ploy ed; that nearly- all classes of labor have been forced by mediation, arbi tration, strikes or lockouts to accept reduced rates of pay during the past year; that the increased wages grant ed railroad men last year were based on increased cost of living and that government reports indicate a 16 per cent. cut in living costs since July 1, 1920. The letter, however, apparently hilas failed to influence the voting, the general chairman reported today. The strike vote, however, union officials pointed out, does not neces sarily mean the immediate calling of a strike. The question as submitted to the men carries a vote for oI' against "a strike unless the wage reduction question can be settled in a manner satisfactory to the general grievance committee represent ing' the class of service in which I am engaged." The grievance committee probably will meet here as sooii as the vote isi canvassed, it. was aid, an1d either take steps to reopen negotiations with the roads or sec a (late for the walkout,. Mr. Lee in his letter, de clared lie would take no hand in the question but perimit the committee to reach its own conclusions. The general chairman on any rail r'oad~ system whlere the men v'ot e to strike will lie given authority to call sent his followers, Mr. Lee continuedl. NEIGHlBORHlOOD CLUBI ENTIERTfAINED LASTl FRIDlAY MIiss L.ou Hluggins entertainied the Neighborhood Club l.-st Friday after noon at the home of Mrs. W. C. D~avis.

WILSON-F"LOYID MARRIAGE A lovely home wvedding was that of Miss Letitia Margaret, Wilson to Mr-. Paul Eugene Floyd on last Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Trhis wvas a very quiet affair, only the imimediate family of the bride and groom being present. The living room, wvhere the cere momny was performed was beautifully dlecoiratedl in feirns and cut flowers. Just before the ceremon y Mmrs. Ru th Chandler playedl Nevins' "Love Song'' and during thme ceremony she playedl "Traumerei." There being no atten dlants the bridal couple enteredh to get her and( were amet at an improvised altar by Rev. C. B. Smith, pastor of th e Methodist church of this place, who spoke a very impressive ceremony using the ring service. Immediately after the ceremony the hap~py coup~le left for a motor trip- through the mnnntntinn of North Cnrolina. SUMMERTON NEWS Sunday afternoon, in company with Messrs. J. T. and C. R. Touchberry, and "Timmie" Howle "your Uncek Uub", had the pleasure of attending Home Branch Baptist Church and we want to say right here and now, that instead of most cases when it comes to a country church, finding a few peo ple present, and not so much interest shown we found it altogether differ ent with the Home Branch poople. We found quite a large crowd present, lots of them children, and everybody seemed charged with love and Zeal for the growth of the Master's King dom. And we heard some of the best singing we have heard in many a (lay, singing we believe we will say "in the spirit an( with an understanding.' Not just a few but almost the entire congregation. And when we began to inquire as to who was some of the leaders, we were told that Rev. Hill of Paxville, was the beloved pastor, a man brimfull of energy, with Miss Hallie Hodge as organist. With Messrs. Josh and Hampton Lackey, Louis and Ray Geddings as choir lead ers, with a number of others who are able ir-gers, whm ve did not hav the pleasure of meeting. We found our good friend Sam Touchberry had been made superintendent of the Sun day School, and if we are any judge of what an eflicient Sunday School superinte;nient is from what we saw of Sam on Sund'ay we would put him in the catagory of efficient Sunday School workers. Mr. Bonnie Beatson is president of the Men's Bible Class, and seems to be -. "live wire." It was certainly an iiipiration to attend a church like that of Home Branch. And the good people of that section need not be at all surprised to see "Uncle Nub, pop up there again," in the near future. And we hope for each of them, success as they travel down the railroad of life, and most especially ill their church work. There is a movement on foot here to organize a stock company, with a capital of something like twenty thou sand dollars for the purnose of erect ing a dry kila and planint mill at this place. We (10 not know how well the movement will siicced. but we cer tainly hope the propositon will nater ialize, as there are several mills run ning in this section, and most of the lumber is shipped to the Northerr markets in the rough, while the dress ed material is more in demand, and the price is much better, and the sav ing in freight alone will go a long ways in the way of paying for the machinery. Let's drop the hope of making cotton and get into something that will mean money twelve months in the year. The good people of the Panola see tion are to be congratulated on secur ing as one of their teachers Mrs Grady Walker, Mrs. Walker has taught several sessions in the Sum morton school, and her efficiency as a teacher is well known, and she was always much loved by the patrons and pupils. Mir. J. J. Cantey, spent several days last week in Spartanhurg. There is some talk of Mr. Cantey going to that city to practice his profession, but we hope Mr. Cantey will decide that we need at le!.st one lawyer, if wve arl good people and not leave us alone. Ou- people wil learn with much re gret that Mr. and M-s. II. P. Troy are soon to ilove away from our towii to Eutawville, where lr. Troy has acceptel ani agenc-y with the railroad people. Mr. Troy caem here soi fifteen years ago, as a railroad agent. A fter being here i few years lie quit the railroad and accept d a position with the Suninierton liardware Co. as hook keeper. A fter being with theni for a aniber of years he eigaged in the mercantile business, and for sev eral years did a finie business. Re tiring fromi his iercantile business this sp-ing. MrI. Troy has been n - bered among our best. citizenis wvhilie hei-e, andt at one time was WV. M. of lie Masonie Lodlge. Mr. aniid Mrs. Troy wvill always findl a warm wvelcome awvaiting them when theyv visit ou11 towni which we hope wvill be quite of-. tetn.

We na-e very glad to irepor-t that Wash Davis who wvent to Charleston for an ,operation last week, is getting along fine and will be home in a few (lays. Thiere will be a meeting (If farmer-s here Frtiday moirning at 11 o'clock for thie pur-pose of or-ganizing a truck growvers association. It is saiH that the cv idetnce of whiskey was pretty stirong here last Sattuirdaiy and Satur-day niighit. It is under-stood that Mayoi- Davis has put ChIief Br-unson on notice to keep his eyes openi, and1( if srome liquor peddler gets caught, don't blame anybodly, buit just take it for your- own har-d luck. As tight as aimnev seems to be now it app~ear-s that a few dollar's invested in rations wvould henefit aoo annaiiym FARMERS CAN GET I WHEAT SEED AT GOST The Banvs of Manning Will Furnish i'l Farmers With Seed at Actual Cost. The First National Bank, The Bank of Manning and The Home Bank and i Trust Company advises the farmers si of Clarendon County to plant this e fall two acres of wheat to -each work 0 horse or mule on the farm. This will e greatly relieve the food situation 'n n this county the coming summer. It q is not the intention of the banks to get e the farmers to plant wheat as a comi- t] mercial crop, but plant enough to imake flour for each home. Under boll weevil conditions Clar- S endon County will prod uce about 10,- a 000 bales of cotton-at 20c per poundl n would bring approximately $1,000,- it 000. ;h The people of the county need over 30,000 barrels of flour for their pro- h1 per nutrition and if that much flour ) is bought it will take $10 per barrel e or $300,000 from your cotton crop C money which will leave only $700,000 a to pay for fertilizer, shoes, clothing, g meats, canned goods, gasoline, oil, 1u- t, tomobiles, farm machinery ..nd var- S eus other things that we use in work mng the cotton crop.h Now why can't we make enough wheat to supply the needs of our coun- p ty and save the $300,000 to spend for other necessities? The banks of Manning believe that the farmers can make enough wheat I to supply the county and will supply $ the seed at. actual cost to them. Mr. F. P. Ervin has consenteI to deliver 1 the seed :'nd no profit will be charged 1 $ so we a(lvise our farmers to get in touch with Mr. Ervin at once so lie 3 will know exactly just what each indi- , vi(lual farmer will need. Smut is the great enemy of wheat I and it will be necessary for the seed i to be soaked in a solution of blue;, stone (sulphate of copper) or Some 3 other fungicide before planting. Mr. Ervin will be glad to expla in the sev- I cral metho(s to the fazrmers. If you make more wheat than will he consumie(d oa your fari there is always a market for flour in the sur roun(l ig towns and at the inills F where the peolIe .1re not enigage( in I farming operatio:s. The Mann:ig banks are to be coi-1$ men(led for this sto-p forward in coin bating the bi11 v..eevil and the farm- t ers should take advaita-ge of this of fer at once. o BJOUDGE PARTY 0 liss Isabella Thomnas eitertainedt the Bridge ('lb last Friday evening. t The rooims were beautifully lecorated in fall 1"owers an(d pottIed plants and after the game the hostess was as 0 si stedl by her mother in serving a salad cour se with iced tea to her guests who were: M isses Tora Bag-; naI, ose Erv in, lary Thllon1s; Mesrs Tomas Baynl., .1.
