COOPER SAKS THAT
TRISJLl RUN
EXECUTIVE REALIZES IN ITS
1
FULLNESS MEANING OF A
CESSATION OF TRAFFIC.
iff CULL SPECIAL SESSION
The Legislature Will be Expected to
Pass Expedient Measures to Fit
The Emergency. ?
Columbia.
Trains will be operated in South
Carolina, strike or no strike, provided
volunteers can be procured to man
them, according to Gov. R. A. Cooper,
who said that if it were considered
hecessary, a special session of the
legislature would be called in order
to draw up measures deemed expedient
to meet the emergency.
It was as no foe of organized labor
nor of collective barganining that the
chief executive of the state said he
? spoke, but as an official who realises,
in its fullness, the meaning of cessation
of railway traffic in this state at
the present time. The decline in the
price of farm products raised in this
state; the increase in the price of
products raised in distant states and
countries; the sufferiiu and the misery
that would follow the wake of
a complete tieup of railway traffic
were visualized by the governor.
"The cotton farmer has suffered
very materially bv reason of the decline
in prices of cotton as well as
by the unprecedented low production,
and no one ought to expect a government,
state or national, to fail to take
any measurers which would prevent a
further loss to those engaged in agriculture,
since agriculture Is the source
of all our wealth.
/ To Reallot Bridge Projects.
Reallotment of approximately $150,000
to bridge projects now under way
or sooil to be in progress in different
counties in the state and approval of
flovnrol n/iiiootn nf foHorfll a iH n Inn fr
cj
with the adoption of several new
roads into the state system were the
more important actions by the state
highway commission at its monthly
meeting here.
The $150,000 reallotment for bridge
work was made possible by the withdrawal
of the Pee Dee bridge commission
from state highway and federal
participation in the proposed Pee Dee
structure. The state commission, had
allotted $150,030 to this project.
Per Cent of Infant Mortality.
Wash ington, (Special).?Eighty-six
of every 1,000 babies born in the United
States die before reaching the age
of one year, the bureau of the census,
in printing figures for 1920, intimates.
In South Carolina births in 1919
numbered 44,624; in 1920, 47,777, the
percentage of increase being 7.1.
Deaths of infants under one year of
age numbered 5,531; 116 pr 1,000 population.
Kirby's Life Prolonged.
The possibility of the electrocution
of S. J. Kirby, convicted murderer,
who refused to abandon the appeal
to the supreme court made by his attorney,
faded practically out of existence.
The attorney general's office
advised the governor, unofficially,
that there was nothing left to do but
to wait for Kirby to complete his appeal,
as he says he will do.
Tax Extension Granted.
An extension of time for the opening
of the tax books in Horry county
was granted by Comptroller General
Duncan.
Horry is the fourth county to ask
for an extension. Richland. Aiken and
Barnwell having already secured postponements.
Still and Whiskey Found.
Federal prohibition agents found a
still on a farm on the Garner's Ferry
road and poured out nearly 600 gallons
of mash and beer as well as taking
charge of a number of fruit Jars
of whiskey
Can Begifc Much Road Work.
Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce,
asked Governor Cooper how
much road work could be begun in
this state within the next 90 days provided
federal aid was ready withnthe
next ten days and the governor answered
that at least $2,000,000 worth
of work could be started within the
90 days. The question from Mr. Hoover
came in a telegram.
Secretary Hoover indicated that
President Harding thought construction
of new roads would be one remedy
for the unemployment situation.
Two New Charters Issued.
The Maxwell-Chartreas company of
Darlington was chartered by the secretary
of state. The firm will do a
general merchantile busines^. Officers
are: P. J. Maxwell, present and
treasurer; W. D. McClam, vice president;

stock of $5,000. The firm will conduct
a general sales engineering business.

To Increase Number of Synods*
Plans looking to the increase of the
number of synods sustaining the Cov
lumbia Theological Seminary were
outlined before the Tennessee synod
at its recent meeting held at Franklin
by Dr. John M. Wells, president of
the institution. A proposition similar
to that made to the Tennessee synod
Is before the synods of Mississippi
and Louisiana, and if the invitation
extended by Dr. Wells to those synods
be accepted, it means that the number
of students enrolled will be increased
by about 50 per cent.
I Students at State
Fifty Clemsoo students, working In
two shifts of 25 each, will give an ex- '
1 hlbition at the state fair in Columbia,
October 24 to 29, demonstrating the

youth of South Carolina.
The military department will demonstrate
the building of trenches, for
tlfications, bridges and other applicances
of war.
Students from the chemistry department
will make an analysis of fertilizers
as well as of chemicals used in
laboratories.
One of the most interesting phases
of the exhibit is expected to be that
of the entomology students. They will
make a study of different insects, particularly
of the boll weevil, which is
now so common in virtually all parts
of the state.
The botany students will make an
actual study of all kinds of plants and
growing things.
The soil exhibits are expected to be
of considerable interest to farmers as
ananlysis will be made of the various
kinds of soil found in the state.
Dealing -jvith the rotation of crops,
the crop exhibit is sure to attract more
than ordinary interest as such a large
part of the farming population is today
interested in the subject of crop
rotation.
Prisoners Reported Beaten.
Following a report made by the
state board of public welfare that
prisoners on the Sumter county chaingang
were being unmercifully beaten
and abused by guards and foremen of
two camps, Governor Cooper adjessed
a letter to Solicitor Frank A.
McLec-d calling on him to proceed according
to law against the men
changed with beating tbe prisoners.

went to Charloitesville he could not

Dove Laws Now Harmonize.
The arrival of October 16 greatly
simplified the enforcement of the
game laws in South Carolina relative ,
to dove shooting. At the last legis!
lature an act was passed making the
j state law for doves open August 15,
whereas the federal law did not allow
the shooting of doves until October
16. This caused a great deal of con- <
fusion and in many instances got hunt|
ers into trouble with the federal au- i
| thorities. The dove law is now open
I for all hunters to go in the fields and
j shoot doves in accordance with law. i

Woods Advises Law Students.
Speaking before the law school of
the University of South Carolina in
the first of a series of two lectures, i
Judge C. A. Woods of the federal ,
court of appeals, Richmond, made a (
plea for simplified pleading and re- j
form in addressing the lawyers.
The address consisted of advice to
the young lawyers on things they
should avoid, the speaker objecting
to the archaic styles of pleading now
used and saying that every paper sub- i
mitted to the court should be a siin*
pie statement of the facts. ,

Columbia. Newberry & Laurens railroads

midnight of Sunday. October 30.
The minimum round trip fare will be
60 cents. Children's fares wiiV be
one-half the adult fares.
COMMENT ON HUN '
CABINET CHANGES
A NEW MINISTRV WILL BE OF NO
NO GREAT IMPORTANCE 18
VIEW EXTERNALLY.
COUNTING ON PROCLAMATION
Next Payment on Reparations Will be
Met, but Doubt Exists as to That
Falling Due in March.
Washington. ? Germany's cabinet
changes are purely political and not
economic.
Unless the new Chancellor adopts
an attitude of hostility toward fulfillment
of German obligations to the Allies,
the new ministry will be of no
particular importance externally.
This is the view taken in Washington
where the approaching proclamation
of peace between Germany and
the United States is counted upon to
help any new ministry shows the same
good faith as did Chancellor Wirth in
attempting to meet reparation payments.
The cabinet change in Germany
comes at a critical moment. The next
payment due the Allies from Germany
is November 15. Official reports have
Indicated for some time that Germany
would pay the installment due next
month though there has been some
doubt about her ability to meet the
next one in March. The feeling here,
however, has been that if the German
cabinet were properly supported it
would be able to consolidate the various
elements in the situation so as
to get by the March payment too.
Cancer More Deadly Than War.
Raleigh, N. C.?The fact that cancer
killed 100.000 more people during
the two years which the United States
was engaged in the world war than

discovered in time has caused the
North Carolina branch of the American
Society for the Control of Cancer
to ask the co-operation of the State
Board of Health in the observance of
"cancer week" in this state from October
30 to November 5.
Seats for Gold Star Mothers.

The Best Gas
(
DURING our many years' experience
in producing gasoline we have discovered
that the7 proper blending
of basic crudes is necessary for a wellbalanced
fuel. And our access to practically
every developed oil field has insured
full utilization of the various types
and grades of crude in exactly the proportions
needed.
The improved "Standard" Motor (Gasoline
is produced through the efforts of
our Development Department experts.
These men have devoted their lives to the
study of oil refining and the relation between
the properties of oils and the uses

Gasoline will go far towards correcting
many of the more common difficulties
of motoring. If your engine overheats
or gives off vile exhaust gases, if
your cylinders miss or carbonize quickly,
if the oil in your crankcase, becomes
diluted, it is probable that you have been
using the wrong gasoline.
