On the other hand, the yields of the Southeast have been gradually increasing, due in a measure to intelligent methods of fer tilization. This is one of the things that is causing the tour to be made through this section. FLORENCE LADS ON WAY TO BLUE RIDGE FOR 10 DAY MEETING Twenty Will Attend South ern High School Boy’s Conference.

A rcore of Florence county lads under the charge of Dr. Johnson, county Y. M. (_'. A. Secretary, will leave the city lonight fbr Blue Rblge, N. ('„ to attend the Southern High School Boy's conference. The conference will last tap days.

In Colum bin and will complete their journey tomorrow. Returns from several precincts ad ditional to those reportei? yesterdjy in the election for $430,000 bonds for county roads, came in this morn ing removing' all doubt that the bond issue had failed. Great disappointment has been ex pressed by the County Highway Com- m'ssion Supervisor Erwin and others interested in the cause of good roads. Members of the Commission feel that they did the very best they could with the proposition and that their plans for constructing a system of county highways was the best plan that could be evolved with the funds to be deriv ed from the bond -issue. One of the members called pariiculir attention to the feature of the plan which pro vlded for preparation tor the sytem of permanent roads which is sure to follow In time. He could not under stand wliy lire report should have gone out that the purpose of the com- mi s'on was to build only sand-clay roads without any tbought to the fu ture. From what could be learned today it is not likely that the good roads move ment will stop where it Is. Plans will be set on foot at an early date to prepare for the proper legislation at the next session of me General As- smbly. The result of the balloting on Tues day is as follows.

PRIORITY GIVEN Railroad C'fficials Agree to Use Best Efforts to Make Delivery. “Nitrate Specials” will bo operated by the trunk line rail’r. ads of this section to expedite the movement of nitrate of soda from the ports to the farmers. Every other effort will he made to get this material immediately from the terminals to the fields. Early Actton j. j>. Darby, secretary of the Rail read Commission of South Carolina, todiy telephoned via long distance from Columbia this information to Walter J. Johnson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Florence, In reply to some special’cases which he had taken up with the commission to expedite the delivery of soda. Amon^ these cases were ftf. J. Hicks, of Coward; L. A. Hyman, Jr., of Pam p’ieo; W. W. Kennedy, of Pamplico; F. H. Young, of Ebenezer; William F Claussen. of Mars L'iuff, J. F. Rtaokley of Florence; W. D. Douglas, of Flop ence; A. B. Hamer, of Ebenezer; M M. Brown, of Florence, and others. This number would aggregate a move ment of about 10 carloads. Make Deliveries Already five or siz carloads have been received, these being attributable to former general work W'hieh the secretary of the Florence Chamber o r Commerce had done. Ho started on tfiis work June 14, while he was in Savannah, and when in Columhi Thursday, June 17, he carried the mat ter before the rai’mad commission and before the meeting of the secre tarl j s of the Chambers of Commerce of South Carolina.

Railroads Active Mr. Darby stated this morning tha* .ludee Frank W. Shealey, chairman of the commission, held a conference enlv this week, as soon as the soda filtnation was brought to his a'ten- Hon with Hie railroad officials in Char leston. Represervtaiives of Hie At* lantic Coast Line, tiie Seaboard Air Line, and the Southern, were pres ent. They agreed to give nitrate of soda movements priority over any oth rrinmodlfies, in view of the distress ing ncessity of the farmers for the material for their crops. The Athletic Coast Line, which wltl handle most of the movement into this territory by virtue of their position, has undertaken to operate solid n ! - trate of soda speciil trains as fast as they can be loaded and moved out of Charleston. Situation Brighter About 20ft carloads per day Is the capacity of The soda terminals and fa cilities of Charleston, through which port most of the movement is being handled. Already every effort is be ing concerted on the soda movement. Approximately 3,500 cars will be neees ary to move tiie present accumula tions and current arrivals, according to the estimate of the railroad and state officials. This would mean that all soda should be cleared tip and de livered to the farmers within the next two weeks at the latest.

The ra'lroad commission and Ihe railroads have requested the secretary to k^ep them advised. In turn, the secretary here should be no tified immediately bv the farmers upon receipt of their soda.

King George receives an average Convention Preliminaries Reach the Hurry and Scramble Period. BUILD PLATFORM Party’s Policy Toward Pro hibition Remains the Big Theme. San Francisco, June 24-Prelimi naries to the convention today got. Into the pr-riod of hurry, and scramble with tiie appearance one after anoth- *r of the men who will play the lead ing parts. In wlHspers behind Ihe scenes the question of the party's policy toward prohibition continued to be the big heme of agitation; with prospects for a figlit on the convention floor grow- ng better and better. Discussion of presidential candidates is still well In Ihe background. Two new arrivals attracted par- icular alteniion. One was Senator Carter Glass, fresh from Washington ind generally reported to heve brought t lie President’s own draft of datform. The other was Charles F. Murphy, Tammany loader, who came direct from a conference of old line party ■strategists at French Lick, Ind. Both «vei-e as busy as beavers but as silent and cagey as mice.

MANY VOLUNTEER AT WORK ON PLATFORM San Francisco , June 24.—A volun teer construction corps of platform milders was busy today whittling oul planks which they believed would neet the needs of the Democratic lational convention In expressing Its ’levs a to prohibition enforcement Leaders, Including ( hainnan Cum nings of the national committee were n agreement that, this question would nonopolLe the center of the conven- 'ion stage until it was settled. Mr, ^unimmvs expressed the opinion that : t would be the only issfie to be car ded to the convention floor. Information from dlscusion by dele ?atcs showed several schools ol bought among the anti-bone dry ad voeates as to how the question should be approached. They vary from the 'tales rights stand taken by Gover nor Edwards of New Jersey, to pro- 'locals that congress be urged to pro ceeded directly toward modifying the ne half of one per cent alcoholic*con« ent restriction of the Volstead en forcement act so as to lift the ban rom beers and light wines. The most pronounced movement at he moment, however, and the one which appeared today to have taken he most definite shape was that orig- naling in'Washington and designed to offer a basis on which anti-bone dry forces could concentrate. Per sonal liberty will be the slogan of ad- vo:.rer. of this compromise plank. Not Prohibition lesue Mr. Cummings was emphatic in de •■ending the question to be solved as lot a prohibition issue but merely ex press Ion of the party’s attitude as to ^he Volstead enforcement act. There were numerous other Issues m which there would he difference of (pinion before Hie resolutions commit tee Mr. Cummings thought, Includ- 'ng profiteering, the industrial plank, touching relations herween capital ’nd labor, the Irish question and oth- •rs. but no present prospect that they could not he harmonized in commit tee. A minority report is to be ex- lecfed only on Hie soralled “beer dank.” it was agreed and that will hr w the fight into the convention ’tself. Greenville Raises Quota Of $i 8,ooo Greenville, S.
