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 report asserted that the liquor
was removed from the warehouses by
the department for storage purposes
and was used by the officials Involved
fqr private consumption, for distribution
to pergonal friends and as gifts
to favored institutions. There was no
charge that any of the liquor was disposed
of for financial gain.
Illegal withdrawals covered-In the
reports were declared to have occurred
between July 20 and September
11, 1920. 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.

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.

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,

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

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.
