He is also a director of the Home National Bank and a member of the Church Council of St. Stephen's Lutheran church. 1 / The Columbia Record in a recent issue has the following to say in regard to the matter: "S. J. Leaphart, of Lexington, graduated the university and well known in Columbia, is being urged by many citizens of Richland and Lexington counties for appointment as United States marshal for the Eastern district of South Carolina under the Re7 publican administration, and it is thought' likely that Mr. Leaphart will receive the appointment. "Mr. Leaphart has been in Wash1Tie-ton rerentlv and has conferred with President Harding, Chairman Hays and others, and he has the endorsement also of J. W. Tolbert, who, it is said, will be in charge of the patronage for this state. It is understood there are no other candidates for the office and that Mr. Leaphart will probably be appointed."

LARGE SUM SPENT FOR FOOD South Carolina Sent Over Hundred Million to West Last Year?Could be Kept Here. P j Columbia, March 14.?South Carolinians imported $111,000,000 worth of food and feedstuffs from the West * last year, according to figures compiled by the committee on banking, < legislation and warehousing of the South Carolina Division of the Amr erican Cotton Association. The importation of this enormous amount of foodstuffs into the state was made "V necessary by the eagerness of the farmers to raise cotton, many of them pianxing .seventeen acres xo xne piow. In a statement issued yesterday the I association declared that there was no reason for the farmers of the State \ to be panic-stricken over the fact that the price which cotton is nowbringing forbids them planting over a half crop of it next year. It is declared that a study of the figures collected by the committee on banking, legislation and warehouses of the association ought to convince them that diversification of csops in South will prove profitable. , According to the committee statement that importation of food and feedstuffs into South Carolina from the West last year as follows: Corn $15,000,000; Mixed feeds $13,000,000; Hay $1-2,000,000; Oats, $10,000,000; ' f Flour, $20,000,000;Beef, $15,000,000 Bacon, $20,000,000?;, Eggs and butter, $3,000,000; Canned goods, $13,000,000 making a grand total of $111,000,000. "These figures," says the association "are purchases, from this state only and every item must be paid fnr in r*ish before the foods are de livered together with the freight. This amount could b% spent at home if the farmers of South Carolina would get their mirids off of -cotton for a /few minutes."
