Message To Congress Deals With Tax’ Reduction, Tariff Settle- vent, World Court, and En forcement of Prohibition Law. Washington, Dec. —^Prompt dis posal of the tariff contr(^ersy, a 11^,000,000 ihcome tax reduction, more effective prohibition enforce ment, and a host of other recommen dations, both domestic and interna tional, were submitted to coi^pess by President Hoover today in his first annual message on “The State of the Union.” The 12,000 word document, which was read in both branches of congress by clerks, made known that the presi dent would submit adherence to the world court to the senate “at some time when it is convenient to deal with it” and 'said the administration held “high hopes” for the success of the London naval limitations confer ence beginning in January. Exceptionally forceful language was employed by Mr. Hoover in dealing with law enforcement, for the study of which he already has appointed a commission. What the government needs to do, he said, is to “reestablish faith that the highest interests of our country are served by insistence upon swift and even-handed justice for all offenders, whether they be rich or poor.” To obtain more effective enforce- Preabjrterian Has Jio Trouble iStNiiieiBg Indians At Home- Coming Game Thursday. ment of prohibition, the president rec ommended a concentration of enforce-j-mixed with end runs, while Dunlap ment agencies in the department of justice, lulief for congested court cal endars by simplifying procedure in petty cases and codification of the prohibition laws to make prosecution ^ore organizable. He specifically mentioned th^ District oA Columbia which he said “should be the modOl of city law enforcement in the nation.” ’ The president asserted that meas ures taken recently to benefit the gen eral ecpnomic situation “musi be vig orously pursued uptil normal condi tions are restored.” He told congress that adjudication of the tariff contro versy now “would be most Helpful,” more especially since “business and agriculture afe both cooperating to minimize future uncertainties.” Repeating the four salient para graphs of his opinions on the tariff from his message to the special ses sion last April, Mr. Hoo/er sa.d “no condition has arisen in my view to change these principles.” He asked for an effective tariff on agricultural products, “limited changes” on indus trial schedules where business has been lagging, and retention of the flexible provision which enables the executive to raise or lower rates by a maximum of 50 per cent after rec ommendations by the tariff commis sion. “There is no fundamental tionflict between the interest of the farmer and the worker,” Mr. Hoover said. “Lowering of the. standards of living of either tends to destroy the other. The prosperity of one rests upon’^the In their last game of the season, their home-coming battle, and against their oldest rivals, Newberry, the Blue Stockings rose to greater heights Thanksgiving day and humbled their opponents by a 54-0 score in a great, hard fought game full of thrills. From the beginning till the final whistle the Calvinists played “heads- up” ball, moviiig with machine-like precision and as one rather than elev en players. An intercepted pass on the first play of the game, three drives and P. C. had a touchdown. A~ drive over the line made it 7-0. A few min utes later Dunlap went through the line for a 60-yard run for the second touchdown, and B. Dunlap added the extra point. Newberry was completely outplayed in all departments of the game. Only once during the contest was the ball in P. C. territory and that was on the 49-yard line. Despite the work of the P. C. team, Newberry never gave in for an instant. They put up a dogged fight throughout, showing the best of spirit and gameness. Hutchison and Stokes played a great game for the Indians, but the Garnet and Blue was just too much to cope with. With Jimmie Green running the team, the Hose pulled every play in their bunch of tricks. Passes were Wt the line for big, consistent gains. Lateral passes and new formations wer^ used to the bewillderment of the Indiims. P. C. scored first down after first down for a total of 15 against three for Newberry, and/piled up eight touchdowns. j Always wide awake, the Calvinists blocked three punts, one for a touch down. Twice they stopped the punt of their own team-mate on the In dians’ goal line, and the tackles went through the line so fabt that passing was ths only mode of attack open foi; the visitors and little of that was suc cessful. The feature of the game was guess ing how P. C. would make extra points. They made six in eight tries. With no kicker they mixed line bucks with passes and end runs to baffle the Newberry steam. To pick a star in the P. C. line is practically impossible. Every man played his part and deserves credit. Green ran the team well and made some beautiful runs. Dunlap did the most ground gaining through the line and got off semie long rans as well. Ritchie and B. Dunlap, the other two starters in the.backfield, played a fine i^game. P. C.’s line worked magnificently. Capt. Beckman played his last gams for P. C. and played a good one. Both Cheatham and Blakely played havoc with the opposing team’s rushes, while at end Ross Lynn was down on Skwa and Cocdi Statement To Goverl^up;TfaF DwHStnand Hun ter Have Not Sign^ SAHTA SAYS-“SHOP IN CLINTON” well-being of the other.

C., Nov. 28.—On the surface, it appears that concert of ac tion is lacking in the work of the elec tion commission, named several weeks ago by Governor John G. Richards in the matter of the. proposed annex ation to Greenville county of upper portions of two Laurens county town ships, Youngs and Dials The commis sioners have not ^agreed on a report to the governor, although it is under stood that a statement of facts was filed last week with the chief uxecu- tive by Earle J. Sloan and John B. Cook, members of the commission who reside in the affected territory. This report, it is officially stated, was hot signed by the other commissioners, Charles B. Owings and J. Ben Hun ter, who live outside of the area in volved in the annexation proposal. On Tuesday of this w6ek Commis sioners Owings and Hunter went to Columbia and presented to the gover nor a statement to the effect that they were not ready to make an of ficial report on the situation at this time. They submitted as one of the principal causes of their unprepared ness to act npw their inability, so far; to obtain a certiDed survey that seem ed to meet the requirements of their official duties in the premises. They stated that a report would be forth coming from them as soon as an of ficial survey could be ma^e that would definitely establish the boundary lines and thus determine the exact amount of real property that would oe includ ed in the area. While the statement filed with the governor Tuesday by Messrs. Owings and Hunter did not go into tae mat-< ter of an alleged agreement by the entire commission, said to have been entered into shortly after a formal or ganization of the body, to tae effect that Commiasioners Sloan and Cook would select ohe engineer, Owings and Hunter the second surveyor, leavir g the selection of the third member of the engineering corps to the other sur veyors, this arrangement, it is claiai- ed by Commissioners Owings and Hunter, did not work out according to their understanding, although one or more surveys were made, at the in stance of Commissioners Sloan and Cook. One of these surveys is said to have shown an area of 28 square milds and the other about 31.5 square miles. And it is supposed that Messrs. Sloan and Cook included one both survey data in their report and peti tion to the governor.
