C., Thursday Afternoon, October! 12, 19^22 3c Per Copy WOULD HOLD COTT FO The recommending of the holding of cotton for basic price of 30 1-2 cents per lint pound and the restriction of cotton acreage to a maximum of eight acres per plow in an effort to secure higher prices for the staple . crop and the suggesting of the enact, ment of a law establishing a federal system of short term agricultural credits independent of the control of all other federal and private financial agencies to secure longer term loans at a lower rate of interest featured the annual meeting of the South Carolina division of the American Cotton association in Columbia yesterday, j These recommendations and sundry others, chief among which were suggestions for the amendment of the cotton futures act and the creation of a federal commission to investigate the cotton growing industry, were submitted in a list of 12 lengthy resfore the adjournment of the session yesterday afternoon. Action on the resolutions, taken practically without discussion, came only when the audience of approximately 76 farmers and others had begun to dwindle after three hours of addresses on farm problems in general and boll weevil control in particular. The vote was unanimous, the resolutions being read by title only. The lone debate of the session arose over the motion of E. W. Dabbs! of Mayesville to recommend the hold-l ing of cotton for a basic price of 35 cents per pound. "All this talk of boll weevil control," Mr. Dabbs said in arguing for his resolution, introduced prior to the reading of the resolution*">? prepared by the regular committee, "Is a mockery, a delusion and a snare imlsss we get a fair profit for our k cotton." J. B. Johnson of Rock Hili, president of the South Carolina division and presiding officer, interrupted !. Mr. Dabbs to call attention to the fact that a* resolution on the "fair price" for cotton was included in the number to be introduced by the' resolutions committee. JL. Jhe 80 12 cents basic price, fixed the committee, Mr. Dabbs held Sharkkhone to do what you think is BBPJP^^^^Swnrthlla pound, though" 1 ,v> profcahly never vrill get that for it." ? J. S. Wannkmaker, president of the ^EV'~' ' Alitriran Cotton association, speakin* to a point of personal privilege, | asked that the resolutions of the committee be adopted without alteration , x since any change might be construed as criticism of the American Cotton! association, which had drawn the corn' mittee resolutions. The resolutions as drawn, Mr. Wannumaker also pointed out, liad the indorsement of Senators E. D. Smith and Nat B. Dial. Mr. Dabb3 withdrew his suggested -amendment and the committee resolution was then introduced and adopted.

Mrs. Francis Hall, widow of the slain rector, was brought into the limelight again when detectives visited her home and took awfy her scurf and fawn-col8ored coat which she had ayed a short time after the slaying of her husband and Mrs. Mills and will have them analyzed to determine if it is bloodstained. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 11 (By the Associated Press),?Officials handling the Hall-Mills murder mystery drew a close veil of secrecy about themselves today, evading the army of newspaper men. Through the inevitable "lyeaks," however, came circumstantial reports that most of the day's activities tended to draw more sharply into the spotlight Nicholas Bahmer, aajoon keeper, who was jailed last night- on a statutory charge preferred by his iaughter, Pearl, 15, also in jail on a .harge of incorrigibility. Bahmer's record was checked and rechecked and his story of his whereabouts on the might of the slaying of he Kev. Edward Wheeler Hall and lis choir leader, Mrs. Eleanor Reinlardt Mills, was gone over with a ine tooth comb. Attempts also were nade to question him further but jail attendants reported he was so badly ihattered of nerve as a result of deirivation of alcoholic stimulants that ae was unable to talk coherently. Bahmer's daughter has told the auhorities in one of her many statements that Bahmer had threatened o cut her own throat and that of Raymond Schneider, her sweetheart, >n the night that the minister and horister were slain and the latter's hroat was slashed. Bahmer denied his, but admitted he was looking for Schneider that night with a pistol, rle said, however, that he was at lome and in bed when the murders vere committed. His pistol, he add?d, wat^of .35 caliber, while that with vhich the slayings were committed rna !W While the authorities were checking I s lew leads and rechecking the atory I y old by 'or a "tag day" Saturday to raise a j 'Hayes justice fund." They openly ] expressed belief that Hayes was < 'framed." i Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for l VfAl. Stevens Hall, the slain clergyman's widow, was much in evilence about the court house today. Te sought interviews with several oficials who are working on the case, , iut declined to make any statement i o newspaper men. A knife, which the police said they i onsidered one of the most important lues recently brought to light in the < louble killing, was turned over to .he authorities today by Mrs. Thomas Lyons, a resident of New Brunswick. The police said it was a kitchen Knife with a sharp blade bearing ,vhat appears to be blood stains. Mrs. i Lyons said it was found by her nine /ear old son, Johnny, in one of the anes leading from the Phillips farm ,he day after the discovery of the jodies. Mrs. Lyons said fear of being Irawn into the case had prompted ler to hide the knife and make no nention of its discovery to the police. She said she finally had decided to mm it over to the authorities in the nope it would clear Hayes, who she : knows and who she said she was conzinced was innocent. 1 The drive to raise funds for Hayes' iefense gained impetus when Mayor Morrison expressed approval of the indorsement of the drive by members >{ the city commission and announced ie would issue a proclamation tomorrow calling upon the citizens of New Brunswick to aid the committee backing the Hayes fund. 1 Hayes is a war veteran, and it was announced by the fund committee that approval of the efforts in his behalf < riaii been received trom American Legion posts throughout the state. The Middlesex country prosecutor ienied tonight that a basket bearing >lood stains figures in any way in his investigation. He said the story originated with persons who had seen a casket which was filled with chicken feathers and in which a chicken had seen killed.

N, Mittle, who was serving a I nine year sentence in the penitentiary , for the killing of J. H. Patterson, a . civil engineer in Orangeburg county : in 1920, was released from the prison i yesterday afternoon shortly after 0 . o'clock. Justice R. C. Watts signed i a writ of error for Mittle's attorney* Tuesday and fixed bail at $10,000. Late in the afternoon discharge ! papers were presented from the clerk I of court of Orangeburg county, Jusi tice Watts having stipulated that this official must approve the bond, and 1 Mittle was released from the penii tentiary, Capt. C. C. Roberts, head ot . the guard and acting superintendent t in the absence of Col- A. K. Sanders, [ superintendent, asid last night. The $10,000 bond was signed during the day and all legal requirements met. Mittle has been in the penitentiary for several weeks, having been placed t there by Governor Harvey when the i supreme court affirmed the lower i court sentence of nine years against , him. The governor was acting upon the i advice of the attorney general's office when he ordered Mittle placed in the prison. Judge Mauldin granted i a 90 day stay order, which was held to be invalid and in violation of the rules of the supreme court, and when this was brought to the attention of the governor he placed Mittle in prison, where he has been until he was released yesterday af||emoon by the signing of the writ of error by Jus- j tice Watts, the acting chief justice. 1 Attorneys for Mittle will carry the 1 case to the United States supreme cour and the chances are that several years will elapse before the case is inally settled. Present Day Prices in Germany Berlin, Oct. 9.?About ^ the omy thing that can be bought in Germany today for one mark is a wire nail. , f,;Under the present quality standard ( of production," remarks a native pessimist, "the nail may or may not be ' strong enough to hang one's self on after he has looked over the other r increases in prices." Today that sum will purchase a vest ' A good piano could be bought then for 900 marks, a sum now required ' for a pair of boys shoes. Five hundred pre-war marks sufficed to build a small house, while now it scarcely ( foots the bill for two pairs of wo men's woolen stockings. Two pounds ; of butter can be found on the marf] Icet today for 400 ma ks, or the preI war price of a milch cow. . One cannot get a spool of thread j i today for the former price of a sew, ing machine. Fifty marks once ' bought a lady's silk dress; now it j will buy a cheap handkerchief. There : was a time, some eight years ago, when one could get a bottle of chamt' p.igne for what it costs now to ride .Ion the subway. Two cigarettes are ki worth what a hundred the same qualj ity cost in 1914. To follow the daily rise in prices at the present time, the Berlin newspaper reader must pay six marks for i a copy of his favorite journal. In the "good old days" the paper cost him I six^y times less, or ten pfennigs. .! A shopkeeper in Darmstadt disi plays a five dollar bill in his window > attached to the following notice: "For r this note foreigners formerly obtained good to the value of 26.25 marks; now they get wares worth 7,000 j marks for it. Therefore I sell only (j to Germans." -1 Majority of Swedish Emigrants Come to America t? % Stockholm, Oct. 11.?Sweden broke ttuuuai' CVLII UII auu iiiiinigration during the past year, according to figures published by the Central Bureau of Statistics.

GOVERNOR MAY REVOKE PAROLE George Wilson of Anderson, one of the mdn implicated in the murder of i Tom Rumey in July of 1U21, has been < arrested and is being held in jail at < Anderson pending further instructions from Governor Harvey. Wilson i is out under a parole during good ? behavior, this having been granted by Governor Ansel, and the govern- < or has received reports that Wilson has violated the terms of hi.-. parole on several occasions. Wilson was convicted of carrying concealed weapons for his part of the Ramey murder and escaped with a line as did Allen Emerson, another of those implicated. Soon after the trial agitation was begun to have Wilson's parole revoker, but nothing was done until recently when Governor Harvey took the matter up af I ter receiving imploring letters from I Mrs. Ramey, widow of the slain man. and from others in the county. ' Walter L. Hays and Ed Wilson. 1 two of the principals in the murder, are now serving 15 year sentences 1 In t U<> rtunifonfio oif #/*? f Kair *>n ?4 in iiiv pviutviiviai jr ivi vu\-n pai v the killing. They were convicted of manslaughter and after a legal figh' were eventually brought here to serve i their time, despite efforts of Mack King, supervisor of Anderson county, to etain them there. George Wilson is an old man and Governor Harvey has been holding his case up for a long time because of his age. However, reports reaching bim have been of such a natu-e that the chief executive was forced Lo act as he does not want paroled prisoners running around the state ausing trouble. Wilson was convicted in Cherokee county for the kill- : ing of a man named Hughes and sen- < tenced to serve life. He was paroled in 1911 by Governor Ansel. ' Will You be There?

Our team since playing Cowpens *jtrengthenefr > tile player of last year, who has since returned from Camp Perry, has given the team a new spirit and this was evidenced in the Newberry game which we won. Coach Jeter was not satisfied with hi; team's playing against Cowpens ; nd consequently many changes have taken place. He has made the backfield much more effective by placing F.etenbaugh and Vaughan back there and with Plumer Thomas and Adams has a combination tnat is as wen rounded as the 'moon,' and on line bucks is as penetrating as a noon day's sun rays. Though normally lire men, Vaughan and Betenbough are playing like seasoned backfield men, and bode trouble for this season's opp rents. Coach has rot weakened the line any bv th-wc changes as he has Tuckt *, Askew, Culp (captain). Haas, F,;?rnett, Wilburn, probably Gregory, and one or two others to select h s h.ne. He has Kelly and Parker, last y -ar's ends, and Hames as probable ends. Jeter says his line looks good fur this time of the season and belieNes it will withstand the thrust of Spartanburg. With the game rapidly approaching, the coaches are working hard to effect the forward passing game, especially in the breaking up of this n ost dangerous of weapons. If they can get the team perfected in this part ol the play, then there will be a battle royal Friday; October 13, when Union and Spartanburg High stack up against each other.
