PRESIDENT HARDING VISITED Illness Detains Justice Pitney-?Hearing of Cases to Begin Imme dlately, v Washington.?The Supreme Court [ of the United States met for its October term with two of the nine seatB on (he bench vacant. One. however, was quickly filled when Chief Justice Tart, as tbe first proceeding, in a brief session given over to formalities, administered the judicial oath to former Senator George Sutherland of Utah, as the successor of John Clark, of Ohio, who resigned during the recess. Justice ^Sutherland was then conducted to the seat on the extreme left Of,Chief Justice Taft. The other chair, assigned to Associate Justice Pitney, wiM not, according to information reaching his (colleagues, be occupied by him in the near future because of illness. The small courtroom, formerly the senate chamber in the capitol, was, crowded, and a long line of tourists and other visitors stood in the corridor during the brief session unable to gain admission. Following the induction into ofTice, of the new associate Justice, the court admitted to practice a number of attorneys and then adjourned for jthe day to proceed to the White House to pay a visit of respect to the Pres- | ident. The picture presented in court when, the juc..cial oath was administered tol Justice Sutherland was most iinpres-' sive. Justice Sutherland, who previously had taken the iron-clad official oath, entered the court room with the other members of the court wear Injar his robes, but he took a position behind the screen at the back ot tho bench while the chief justice announced that during the recess Justice Clark had resigned, his resignation had been accepted, and Justice Sutherland had been nominated as tiis successor and confirmed by the senate. | With the court, bar and audience standing, Justice Sutherland then took a position at the side of the chief justice and in a firm, distinct voice, audible throughout the room, repeated after the chief justice, clause by clause, the judicial oath, giving emphasis to its solemn declarations. He was then welcomed to tho court by the chief justice by a hearty handshake and was ushered to his chair at the extreme left of the bench where Justice McReynolds, who occupies the next seat, also welcomed him with a handshake. rnirty-nve attorneys were presented to the court for admission to the bar. The court, as is the custom, proceeded to the White House in their robes. The President received the chief justice and associate justices in the blue room, greeting eacti with a cordial handshake and subsequently chatting with the members. Attorney General Daugherty and a large staff from the department of justice, Including Solicitor Genera j Block, occupied their usual places at the deaks in front of the bench. Converted Liquor to Own Use. Washington.?Charges that certain represntatiVes of the department of justice converted to their own use j large stocks of liquor seised here in : the enforcement of prohibition were made In a special report filed by the I District of Colombia grand Jury.

The Jury did not name the individuals who were Involved, bnt declared that their conduct "cannot be too severely condemned." At the department of Justice officials indicated that no action was in prospect since the offenses complained of were the "former attaches of a former administration" of the department. William J. Burns, chief of the department's bureau of investigation', confirmed that large stocks of liquor held In the custody of the department | had "disappeared" between ttift dates . mentioned in the grand Jury rejort.

TELLS 8f MONEY | PAID TO SCHOOLS \ ^ *Superintendent swearingen 1 names payment made * to countie8. ' $1,350,063.90 FOR ONE YEAR | Payments Include Items Provided By , Legislature, Together (With Federal Aid. Columbia. State aid paid to the schools of the 1 46 counties of South Carolina from July 1,1921, to June 30, 1922, amounted to fl.350,063.90, according to John E. Swearingen, state superintendent of education. In speaking of this money, Mr. Swearlngen said: "These payments include the eleven items provided by the legislature, to* gether with the federal aid for vocational training allotted to South Carolina under the Smith-Hughes act of congress. The corresponding figures for the preceding year were $1,486,419.36. The difference was due to inadequate appropriations for the high school tuition, for the elementary grades of high schools, for public school buildings and for the equalization law guaranteeing a seven months' term. In disbursing the funds under these four activities, the state superintendent's office was compelled to pro rate the money on a percentage basis among the applicants. The flgurei by counties follow.

Experiments with 'oil and tar on sand clay and top soil roads are to ~be conducted by the state highway < department within the next few days in Spartanburg and Lexington counties. Some oil has already been used on roads in Greenwood county with partial success and another effort is 1 to be made to determine the benefit of oil on the dirt highways. A short section of the SpurtaQburgGreenvillo,highway, state route No. 8, in Spartanburg county, will be otted and a short section of the old state i road will be tarred in Lexington county.

Mr. Parker hopes to And any weak ' spots in the structures lp the North 1 in order that the highway -department may be able to eliminate these in the Ashley structure at Charleston,' J. W. 1 Martin, Charleston county highway 1 engineer, accompanied Mr. Parker. 1 I Annexation Move to be Examined. Governor Harvey appointed S. P. 1 Post on, 'J. H. Tune, S. Altman and : D. A. Hanna as commissioners to examine into the propose^ annexation of a part of Florence county to Williamsburg. Mr. Poston and Mr. Tune are opposed to the annexation, while Mr. Altman and Mr. Hanna are in favor of it. The area desiring to be anexed to Williamsburg was in this county two years ago, but voted Into Florence. However, a "change" has been brought about and the same section, 45.3 square miles, wants to get back to Williamsburg. i Approves no Mors Orders for Coal. ? ' ? According to advices to the South Carolina railroad commission from the i hfterstate commerce commission, the < commission will not approve any mors > orders for coal, and buyers of coal will 1 place their orders direct. In a word, *1 the situation goes back to that which I obtained prior to July S5. The inter* t stats commerce commission "has ius* i pended regulations relative to th% classifying of coal and the commls. 1 alon will no longer function as to 1 approving orders," it was said at the < offices of the commission. 1 % Penitentiary May Make Shirts. Governor Harvey, John Wr Airington, of Greenville, and William Taredash, representing the Sterling Company, of Chicago, visited the penitentiary recently with, a view to seeing What could be done toward establishing a shirt or garment factory at the prison in addition to the chair fac- ! tory. /The governor Is not entirely satisfled with the work of the chair factory and believes some additional effort would be fruitful. He will likely recommend to the legislature the estab- i llshment of a shirt factory or some, garment plant to augment the present effort. Governor Harvey believes a good deal of effort is lost and that a shirt factory would be a paying prop-' ositlon. Mr. Taradash has an excellent proposition, his company furnishing everything but the' labor, which the penitentiary would provide. This plan ^s working successfully in other states, the governor was told. Tin4V. ~ ? - - iiuu a ?iiin or garment tactory many prisoners who are now unable to do work could be placed in gain* ful employment. Prisoners on the county chaingang jwho are incapacitated. could be brought to the prison and put to work at the machines. In connection with the visit and the inspection, the governor said he was against the present plan of having long term criminals on the county Chain gangs and favored a plan whereby all persons serving more than two or three years should be put in the penitentiary. On the county chaingang favoritism is likely to be practiced and escape is easy on a number of the chain gangs. Prisoners working in the proposed new factory could be taught a trado anfl when they have served their time would be able to go out Into the world with a gainful occupation. The governor also believes prisoners should receive pay for a part of their labor and this kept by the prison officials for them so that when they serve their time they will have funds to make a new start in life. In case the defendant has a family dependent upon him, the chief magistrate believes part of his labor should be given to the family. State ^air Plans Five Days' Racing.
