Itoy .Johes, commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries, said yesterday. Arrangements for ih<- u.-e of state warehouse system receipts for government loans were completed by Mr. .Jones yesterday in a long distance conversation with Oscar Johnston, director, of finance of the 'United States department of agriculture at Washington, A ruling by the agricultural adjustment administration at Washington requires the cotton to be stored in the nearest acceptable warehouse as there will Ik- no allowance for freight or dray age. ""There are acceptable warehouses. in all parts of the state and this will make it convenient and economical for farmers to use the state system," declared the commissioner of agriculture under whose direction the system operates. Asked about the plan to lend ten cents a pound on cotton, Mr. Jones expressed the opinion that it should mean a great deal to the farmers of South Carolina and he said he was hopeful that under the acreage control plflP coupled with the lending of this money cotton would increase in price to where the farmers would get what they "are justly entitled to." Details for the handling of government loans on cotton are being rapidly worked out in Washington and will be released within the next fewdays, said Mr/Jones. 1 Negro Killed Near Hishopville new<Mti?volopments have come '\fvkilling near Bishoville ear?.ty last Monday morning. jVuraham Moore, a negro about 25 years old was found dead on the highway near King's Dairy.

D.?A coroner's jury late today ordered four men held on a charge of murdering Benhle Thompson, youthful negro who was taken from the jail here last night and beaten j^o death. This action was taken after Hurley Leppard, a textile worker, admitted that he and three other white men took the negro from his cell and whipped him with "automobile top tubes." The other men implicated by Leppard were J. F. Morris, "Losty" Mayes and "Toody" Webb. Leppard jtnd Hayes were in jail tonight, but officers w?rw s-ti 11 searching for the other two men. "We and- the others had som'<5 trouble with the negro at a cafe last night and he drew a pistol on us. The negro was arrested and put in jail," Leppard said. "Later the four of us went to the jail and asked the jailor to turn the negro over to us. He refused, telling us we would have to see the chief. "Chief of Police Rush came in a few minutes later and we made the same request of him. He told us to wait until dark and come back and we would find the jail unlocked. "We went bat=h to thr jail a short time later and we found the door open and the lock hanging in the cell door oushed together as if it had been locked. "We took the negro out and drove him down the road in my ear. All of us beat him with automobile top tubes and left him beside the road still alive." Leppard said this was at 7:30 o'clock last night, Shortly after H o'clock this morning the negro's body, terribly seal red. was found in plain view of-the< nighway by a small negro boy. Solicitor H. F. Blackwell. who attended the inquest said he would ask that C hief of Pelice Rush be indicted as an accessory to the killing. . Chief Rush made a statement to1 night denying the textile worker's eharge that he had aided them in ( taking the negro from his cidl: "1 have been tin officer a long time ,1 | u i]i n,-vei- he guilty of such a i ,i j-t> trick l.ke that." he said.

Camden and Savannah To Meet in Polo Game , (The Columbia Record) Columbians and followers of the ] sport from all over the state will have an opportunity of seeing1 two 1 :rack polo teams meet in a battle ' jt the turf Saturday of State fail*,., week, October 21. ^ \.;'j ! i The hard-riding polo experts from J the 118th Field Artillery: of Savan- ] lah will meet an equally spectacular 1 team from Camden at 3:30 o'clock on J the fair grounds race track field on ( that date, playing the fifth and decid- < ng game of a five-game series. The ' ?ontest will be staged under the ( auspices of the Girl Scouts of Rich- , land county, the announcement said. Many Columbians will remember the Savannah outfit from their appearance at Camp Jackson during the ' past summer, when the 118th Field , Artillery was encamped here. Col. , S. B. Coleman of that organization is the one through whom the chamber of commerce made arrangements to ^ have that team meet "the Camden team, managed by Henry Savage, Jr. ; The players from Camden are no less well known to many Columbians, as they have figured spectacularly in a | number of games played in that city from time to time. Through tihe cooperation of the State Fair association, of which Paul I V. Moore is secretary! the game will > be played on the field on the inside of the race track near the southern side of the grounds. Adequate parking space for automobiles will be available, so that those who wish may remain seated in their cars, witness- ( ing the game from the sidelines. I On account of the unusual interest shown bv Columbians and many visiJ tors from nearby towns in the polo ' game played at Cam;) Jackson a few < weeks ago. it is believed that the matching of The Camrk-n and Stf\annah teams to meet here in Columbia ' during fair week will draw a big i 1 crow d. Due to the fact that the gates of the fair grounds are thrown open with no admission charge prior to the , hour set for the game, there will be but one charge to see the contest, the , announcement explained. A charge of 50 cents will be made to each spectator entering the polo field, which cost will be the only one incidental to witnessing the contest. Proceeds, of the game will be used in the fur- | tht nr.g of the program of activity j of the Girl Scouts of Richland eoun,:y. the committee explained.
