Washington, Oct. 14.?Due-to an unimportant but irritating new complication, President Wilson spent a restless and uncomforable day but his condition tonight was described by his personal physican, Rear Admiral Grayson, as improved. In the regular night bulletin on the president's condition issued from the White House at 10 o'clock ut. uruyson said: ' The president has had a restless and uncomforti^ble day bult he is better tonight." In connection with issuance of the bulletin. Dr. Grayson announced that I Dr. H. A. Fowler, a Washington spe. cialist has been called in for consultation and through his efforts it had been able to reduce the swelling of the ^rostate gland, which it was stated today had Interfered with he i^st of the president last night. ; v The new element entering into the president's illness it was stated, was ; of the non-operative type. The general condition of Mr. Wilson again was described as favorable 1 Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician, and Dr. Stitt and Dr Ruf. fin, the consulting physicians, noting in the daily bulletin that his temper. r ' ature, pulse, respiration, heart action s and blood pressure were normal. While announcement that the pres-ljdent's frest was being inerfered with by a swollen prostate gland it was emphasized by Dr. Grayson hat such was not uncommon and was of little importance save as it caused some diseomfort. Reports that congress might ad_ journ pending he presiden's recov^ v wre met at the White House wih the staaemeut th?t such a step was absolutely unnecessary and would be opposed vigorously by the executive. It was reiterated today that the president's condition^was such as to allow him to act on any important legisla. tive matter that might demand his attenion. o BLACK MEN ARE PROSPEROUS. Negroes in Mississippi are Happy and Contented. ? X Exceptional happiness, contentment and prosperity among the negroes of Mississippi is reported by a committee of Chicago white and negro men after an investigation of conditions is that state. The committee was delegated tos visit Mississippi by the' Chicago Association of Commerce, the Federal Bureau of Labor and by organized labor to which had been roferrorf a mips firm nf nidine the re-! turn of southern bom negroes to the south. A written statement prepared by; the committeee said: "The happiness, contentment and prosperity among the colored race in Mississippi is much greater than the committee expected to find. We know no place where greater happiness and prosperity prevail among them." 1 School facilities were found to be good; churches adequate, housing conditions being improved rapidly and race relations good, according to the report, while the industrious; negro is afforded excellent opportunij ties to become a land owner. No place J oppression, imposition or "lawless-' ness" was found. Negro workers in the sawmill districts were reported happy and contented. M^y of the farm laborers were found to be working on the share system. Negroes having no capital, teams or implements are equipped by the land owner, receiving, usually, a I half of the crop they produce, while those with teams and implements are given two-thirds. The statement con- J tinues: "We found that the average work-, er who cultivated what is known as! the 'one mule crop* was able, using, the year 1938 as a criterion, to^ro*! duce a sufficient crop to net him*. ov_' er and above all living expenses, from i $500 to $1,500 a year. We found several men who began work under the | tenant system and who now own their own plantations and are themselves, employers of negro labor and are worth from $10,000 to $175,000. These facts were secured for the negroes themselves and we had the priv. liege of riding with them and sur-| veying their farms in automobiles they own." -o Rev. John B.

The railroads of the ctnintry are ;doing a heavier business at the present time than ever before in normal times and practically as heavy as they did last year,, says Director General Walker I). Hines in a statement which he issued yesterday. This statement was sent to the various presidents of the railroads and re-. quests were issued in Raleigh through the local agents of the Norfolk Southern an(f the Seaboard Air Line. The statement follows: The railroads or the country are now doing a heavier business lor the, present season of the year than was; ever dentin the history of,the railroacs in normal years and practically\ as heavy business as was done ai| this season in 1918, which exceeded all previous records. They have in j actual operution'more cars after ex.! eluding cars held out of service for; : repairs, than in 1917 or 1918.! While the bad order car situation was ' greatly embarrassed by the extensive! ;strike among the shopmen inAugust, | the percentage of bad order cars is; ! now rapidly improving There was jan increase of 52,456 cars in service! able londition between August 16th and October 4th. While the freight business is prac- j tipally as heavy as usual at this time: of year the railroad administration' in performing that business is un-! I avoidably deprived of many exceed-; 1 ingly important aids which was j able to utilize last year. One of these is the zoning of coal, ! which last year compelled consumers ;to take their coal from nearby mines' and thereby greatly increase the effectiveness of coal transportation. This advantage has necessarily been lost because the zoning was terminated last winter. Another is that last year there was much heavier loading of many nnportant commodities than it has been possible to secure t is year; and the result is that undei existing i conditions more curs have t0 be used [ for the same amount of traffic than ' were used last year. There are various other important respects in which traffic was controlled in the interest of the war J last year so as to get the maximum j results out of rail transportation and: iwith the return of peace conditions' 'and the resulting insistance of public! isentiment upon release from wartime! ! restrictions these advantages have been lost. The fact that there is still a short.' age in rail transportation is due to the conditions that the amount of | j business offering is far in excess of f the transportation facilities of the! countryv This has always been true,; in this country, in times of heavy business in the autumn months excepting Ihst year when the matter could be and was controlled with an iron hand, with a view sole to war necessities. At the same time railroad facilities have not expanded to the extent required in the public interest. Even prior to war railroad faciliteis were not equal to the demands During the war the addition of new fa. cilities was greatly restricted by the scarcity of material and labv, since the war it has been imposible to in. augurate or carry out any extensive program for enlargement of rail capacity because of the uncertainty as to the status of the railroads. The railroad administration was not pro-j vided with the money and, therefore, could not originate or carry out any such program, and the railroad companies, in view of the uncertainties, were unwilling to provide the money J The result is that the railroad facilities of the country are decidedly below what the traffic demands Nevertheless the maximum traffic is be.; ing handled and this is being done with less shortage of transportation i than manifested itself art times inthe' pre-war period. Particular attention1 is being paid by the railroad alministration to the furnishing of neces-, sary equipment for the transportation of coal and grain. It was decided early in September that in order to meet the coal requir. ments of the country it would be necessary for the railroads to move aj minimum of 11,000,000 tons of bitu-j minous coal a week For the week end-! ed Sept; 13, 11,046,000 tons were! transported; for the week ended Sep- j tember 20, 11,248,000 tons were | transported and for the week ended September 27th the railroad admin.] istration estimated that appromimate. \ ly 11,575,000 tons were transported^ Conditions have developed which i have made it necessary to handle the wheat situation in an imergency way. This situation has been complicated by the fact that many of the elevators, are full and it has been impractible! to move additional wheat to points, where the elevators are full because to do so would cause large numbers | of railroad cars to be filled with ] erain which could not he disposed of at destination and this would result | in using them for storage and depriving the public generally of cars which are badly needed for business of every sort. The railroad administration is fol-j lowing this matter very vigorously in consultation with the Grain Corporation and the Director General will consider the matter personally at a meeting of interested railroad offi_) Corporation and others to be held at | Chicago this week. As to the situation in Texas where | the wheat condition is particularly OIL BURNERS FOR SEABOARD. Have Sinned Bin Five Year Contract With Mexican Company. It is stated that the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company has entered into a contract with the Mexican Petroleum Company by the terms of which the oil company is tb furnish 40 per cent of its fuel requirements for the next.five years. The oil is to be sold on a basis of $2 per net ton of coal. A ton of coal is taken to be equal to ^.66 barrel of oil. It is stated that the Seaboard exnppts tn convert 250 of their engines to the oil burning type. It will be one of the first big roads to adopt this plan in the southeast. This will greatly decrease the cost of transportation Tanks costing $250,000 will be erected at Tampa and Jacksonville to be kept filled by steamers from the Mexican company's docks. It is said that $750,000 will be used in converting the engines to oil burners. This will m|ke a total expense of $1,000,000 which is to be loaned to the Seaboard by the oil compahy and paid back at the rate o^ 10 cents to the barrel, of oil Used. The contract calls for 3,000,000 barrels of oil to be furnished between September 1, 1919, and December 21, 1924. The railroad company will pay 65 cents a barrel of 42 gallons, plus the hauling charges.?Charles, ton American. ^ ? o WEEVIL SWEEPS Sl'MTER COUNTY Sumter, Oct. 12?It looks as though the much-talked of and dreaded cotton boll weevil has swept 0ver more than half of Sumter county before any one in this county knew it was here. Late Saturday afternoon County Agent J. Frank Williams reported that in addition to finding the cotton weevil on the plantation of Mr. S. J. White, six miles south of Sumter, it had been looted on the plantation of Mr. Willie Shaw, about four miles east of Sum:er, on the farm of Mr. W. R. Weils, north of Sumter, and still further north or slightly northeast on the farm of Mr. Andrew Vincent. The three new in. testations are miles away from the first point found to be covered with weevils, south of Sumter. County Agent Williams and Prof. Bundy, the Clemson college weevil expert, are confident that if frost is postponed the weevil will do much damage Unconfirmed reports of the weevil in the extreme western and northwestern sections of this county will be investigated tomorrow or next day, it is said. Coming in from the south by way of Clarendon county and sweeping with unusual rapidity to different parts of the county, confirms the opinions of the expert investigators that all of the territory in between the extreme points of the compass and in different sections of the county must surely be infested It is said that much damage has been done to the cotton already. If this be so, then where does the theory come in that the weevil does little damage to cotton the first year, when com. ing into this county at- the end of the cotton growing season it has already done a lot of damage. Getting an early start in 1920, after wintering in this county, what will it do to cotton next year? o A HEART-TO.HEART TALK. Mr. Editor: By your generous courtesy I wish to have a heart-fo-heart talk with my Methodist brethren and sisters of the laity among you- readers The education of my children appeals strongly to me. I fully share the worthy sentiment of the Rev. Jas. T. Kilgo, of blessed memory, who proclaimed the fact that he could not willingly throw his children upon society uneducated, and sooner would eat corn bread and wegr patched clothing the rest of his life. As a superannuate member of the South Carolina Conference, with eight attractive children (they get their good looks from their mother) ranging from four to 20 years, the oldest three of whom are daughters, I much desire a residence where there is a college for women. If only some large-hearted man or woman, or a group of such, might donate the use of a house for several years, or lease it at a low rental, we would be grateful indeed for such considerate kindness. To make sure of securing one, however, I hereby request that friends reading this, who can do so without diminishing their offerings elsewhere, shall write me quite soon a letter or postal saying, "Brother Betts, you may each year call on me for $ toward paying the rent of a home in any college town, till I give you notice to the contrary." A dollar or more promised in this way to aid us will be appreciated. The discipline allows us to reside anywhere. Respectfully, W. A. BETTS, Olanta, S. C. acute because the crop is approximate ly 25,000,000 bushels larger than it was last year and where there is scarcity of local storage facilities arrangements are being made through the grain corporation for the sending of additional cargo vessels to Galveston and arrangements have already inn o cin (? tlio nnmhor ucru nraur km luiivwcnif. i?v nu..,.,v. of permits for carloads of wheat into Galveston from fifty to one hundred per day. Particular efforts are being made to move wheat which is on the ground and thus exposed to the weather. DILLON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
