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.

Herald, which quotes "one of the highest
authorities of the French ministry
of finance."

New York, Oct. 12.?The shortage

LAD INNOCENT
New Brunswick, Oct. 12 (By the
Associated Press). ? 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

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

knows and who she said she was conzinced

The drive to raise funds for Hayes'
iefense gained impetus when Mayor
Morrison expressed approval of the
indorsement of the drive by members

ie would issue a proclamation tomorrow
calling upon the citizens of New
Brunswick to aid the committee backing

The Middlesex country prosecutor
ienied tonight that a basket bearing

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

M1TTLE RELEASED
ON $10,000 BOND
?. 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

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. '

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

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. The probable line
u,) ( f the team will be as follows:
Center?Tucker.
Guards Bamett and llaa^-, or
Gregory.
Tacklkes?Askew and Gulp.
Ends?Kelly and Hames or Parker.
Quarter?Adams.

which was devoted to an intensive
study of problems confronting
the bituminous coal industry.
A resolution was introduced asking
the congress to declare as its priniples:
"That all disputes directly affecting
