This request fdr federal aid will he acted on by the.{State highway comm'ssion at Its meeting in June. The -fact that Saluda county has taken ; the necessary steps toward . buildirig the road from Batenburg to Saluda is of special Interest to Columbia and Greenwood, as the construction of this link, which is about 20 miles, will result in giving a direct connection by improved roads all the way from Columbia to Hodges in Greenwood county. The road will be <about 84 n&iles in length, and twothirds oMt will be surfaced with top soil and the remaining third with sand clay. Lexington connty has already applied for federal aid with which to relocate,* grade, drain and sand clay the road from Columbia to Batesburg. Tt was stated at the office of the State highway commission that the town of Batesburg woukl give substantlaf financial assistance toward building a road from Batesburg to Saluda by way of Long- Bridge, and that this town deserves great credit for its part -vln enabling Saluda county to apply for federal aid; Train Law Unconstitutional.

The idea was advanced by Capt. J. J. McSwain of Greenville.

The government report leaned through B. B. Hare, South Carolina field agent of the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture, indicates that a record breaking wheat crop will be harvested in me unued States within the next (ew months, the estimated yield tor South Carolina being one of the largest in the history of the State. Of the 206.000 acres sown last fall 204.000 remain to be harvested. Condition on May 1. was 88 per cent of normal or 4 per cent above the ten year-average, the estimated yield being 2,361.000 bushels. The condition for the entire United States Is 100.5 per cent or 16.1 per cent above the ten year average, the indicated yield being 899.916 000 bushels as compared with 558.449,000 bushels of last year. The latter estimates refer to winter wheat only, The acreage of rye in South Carolina to be harvested for grain is 5 per cent less than last year, though the acreage used as a cover crop would show a slight increase. Condition is reported at 90 per cent of normal or 1 per cent below last year.

The report on ' the corresponding date of last year showed 18 per cent of the previous crop remaining on farms. * The death rate among live stock for the past 12 months Is shown to be lower than usual, due largely to the mild winter and ability it the extension department, through quarantine i regulations and the use of serums, to j prevent the spreading of epidemics. ^ It is estimated that 25 mules and t horses of all ages. 26 cattle. 22 sheep c and 49 hogs out of every .1.000 have died from disease during the year ending April 30, 1919. \ r I May Lose Camp Jackson. District Attorney Weston, who has 1 been directed by the department of jj justice with the authorities at Camp B Jackson in procuring the fee by purchase to the lands desired for the ' , permanent camp, has had filed with I him complaints against a number of e land owners In the proposed area as c to the exorbitant values placed on * their lands. Mr. Weston said: "As 8 much ae I regret It. I have felt con- 1 strained to .forward this communion- 8 tion to the attorney general of the 1 United States and regret to say that ? I am compelled to concur in the opin- 1 ion of the agent entrusted with the * purchasing of this land that the gov- ^ ernment Is being asked to pay sums a tar uui ui proportion to tne value of the land." Mr. Weston says that It becomes his c duty to send to the authorities at c Washington the values at which the a lands to be bought are returned for ? taxation, and he savs that when the d tnx values are compared with $60 to ' $100 an acre wnich some owners are d asking the proposition becomes ridicu- n lous. He calls attention to the fact that ^ unless this property Is paid for out of the money now available, the camp will he lost, for certainly, he says, the Republicans who have come into pow- j? er will not make any appropriations to buy lands here, and all funds not n paid put of the present appropriations revert to the general treasury June 30. " So unless the lands are bought and paid for before June 30. they will not * he bought at all. In his opinion, and there will be no more Camp Jackson. ^ Bank Examiner Protests. * J. H. Craig.

Mr. Craig concludes: I "Then to have an unjust thrust made at them by a federal official, j. even before the stnoke of battle Is ^ cleared awav. may at least be experted to wound. If not irritate.

MILL, 8. 0., THURSDAY, MAY jMIEOmSES; IKtAll AND LEAGUE RESOLUTION CALLS ON STATS DEPARTMENT TO FURNISH COMPLETE TEXT. ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION ON In Course of Debate a Bitter Attack Was Made by Sherman of Illinois on President Wilson's Course. Washington.?The peace treaty with its league of nations covenant was debated for three hours in the senate, and at adjournment the resolution which furnished the vehicle for the discussion went over as unfinished business. The resolution merely calls on the * state department to furnish .the sen- r ate with the complete text of the I treaty, but as the debate progressed . discussion shifted to the merits of the I league and treaty themselves. A. dozen senators, including the leaders on both sides, were drawn into the discussion and sharp exchanges presaged | the bitterness of the fight that is to I come when the treatv actuallv comes up for ratification. Senator Johnson of California, author of the resolution, started the de- a hate with a short speech charging 1 that the treaty supporters had "some- t thing to conceal." ( This assertion drew an indignant 1 , reply from Senator Hitchcock, of Ne- * braska, ranking Democrat of the for- 1 eign relations committee, who de- ? clared the President was following well established precedent In keeping t the treaty text in confidence, and that for the senate to request him to do t otherwise would be "a gross breach of S international proprieties." t In the course of the debate a bitter p ' attack on the league covenant and on v President Wilson's course in the peace t conference was made by Senator Sher- b man of Illinois, who earlier in the day t had presented a resolution declaring n it the sense of the senate that the n treaty and the covenant should be con- a sidered separately. ? c NO INTERRUPTION TO SALE n AND MANUFACTURE OF BEER li New York.?Uninterrupted prodpc- i< tion of "war beer" until the courts t have passed upon the claim of the n United States Brewers Association c that the beverage, containing t 3-4 per cent alcohol, is non-intoxicating, n was assured when Federal Judge j Mayer grnnted an injunction restrain- l n Ing government interference. a The court declared that his decision 8 had been Influenced by President Wil- " son's message to Congress recommending repeal of the war-time pro- ! hibition act in so far as it relates to beer and wine, and by Federal Judge A. N. HAnd's ruling last week, that the law placed a ban on the manufac- P turd only of liquors that were, in fact, intoxicating. Although United States District At- P torney GafTey. representing the gov- t? ernment, opposed granting an injunc- ti tion. Judge Mayer said he believed e such action wonld contribute to a fair Isettlement of the questions raised by C the brewers under the emergency pro- b hibition act. The Injunction, a tempo- t< rary one. would be effective, the court c said, pending review of his decision f< by the circuit court of appeals or. if the government should decide to let e< it stand, until the brewers' suit per- w mannntly to enjoin prosecutions for w manufacture of the 2 3-4 per cent brew o could be tried in the district court. a a NAVY BOARD TO DECIDE a ON C?D,TAL SHIP TYPE ^ b Washington.?The navy grenera.1 B hoard took up the task of formulating:! ; specific recommedatlons as to types of capital ships oongp-ess will 4?e asked ^ ! to authorise.
