HOUSE AND SENATE
60T FAIRLY STARTED
During Four Days of Work Last
Week in Columbia
|
SOME IMPORTANT BILLS
Compulsory Education, Prohi-!
bition, and Cotton Bdls Were
'
Offered Early in Session.
The Ley iture was in session last
week only lor four days, but notwithstanding*,
some important bills were
introduced in both the Senate and the
a ?wun * ' i iv? j/ i \;ov 11 wti u ? v i n\ i xr Y>
a disposition among the members of
both branches to wait until the inau#
guration of Governor Manning, which
took place last Tuesday, before preparing
and introducing the bills they
favored.
Legislators in sympathy with Mr.
Manning are preparing bills which
will carry out his ideas on the reform
of the tax system, the State banking
laws and other subjects closely con-1
nocted with the administration of the
State's business affairs.
Compulsory Education.
Advocates of the adoption of a com-;
pulsory education law in South Caro- j
lina have reason to be pleased, because,
early as it is in the session,
there are three compulsory education
bills pending in the senate and two in
the house. The proponents of forcing
children in the State to ootuin an education
have increased in the last two
or three years until their name is
legion. Compulsory school attendance,
either Statewide o r of a local
option character, was an issue on
which the result of nomination to
both State and county offices hinged
to a great degree in the Democratic
primaries last summer.
In the senate Senator Carlisle has
introduced the Statewide compulsory
education bill drawn by Frank Evans,
superintendent of the Spartanburg
| schools. This measure was the first
choice of the conferees on compulsory
education who met in Columbia early ,
in January. Senator Sinkler has of-1
fered in the senate the local option
compulsory school attendance bill !
written by J. E. Swearingen, State superintendent
of education. This measure
was the second choice of the conferees
in Columbia.
In the house Mr. Harper of Darlington
and Mr. Hawkins of Greeenville
have both introduced compulsory
education bills. Senator Lee has also
offered the Harper bill in the senate.
^ Although really the first bill introf
duced in the house at this session of
the general assembly, the Harper bill
appears -on the calendar as house bill
No. 2. The reason for this is that a
concurrent resolution on some subject
was offered on the first day of the session,
carried over on the calendar and
c consequently identified as "H, No. 1."
Mr Harper was the author of the local
option compulsory school attendance
bill which the house passed last session.
His bill this year also carries
the local option feature.
The subject of taxation as a matter
for legislation is one which legis\
lators hibitually approach cautiously.
Although the report is current and
well substantiated that much will be
undertaken later on in the way of reform
of the tax system, nothing on
this subject has been introduced in
either house yet which can be looked
upon as a constructive measure, exh
cept a bill by Mr. Liles of Orangeburg
amending the law in reference to de- j
l^jquent taxes, penalties and ex ecu-1
tions.
In the house Mr. Sellers of Marion
and in the senate Senator Nicholson
of Edgefield have offered bills to defer
the payment of taxes without penalty
until March 1*5, 1915. Mr. Lynch
of Florence in his bill in the house
would give grace until April 1, 1915.
Prohibition.
A big ouestion that the trenernl as
sembly will be called upon to settle is
whether the qualified electors of the
State shall vote on September 14, 1915
on the question of abolishing the whis
key trafic in the State. The prohibition
referendum bill has been introduced
in the house by Mr. Boyd of
Spartanburg and Mr. Warren of
Hampton and in the senate by Senator
Carlisle of Spartanburg. The dispensary
committees of both houses
W will report on the measure. Prohibitionists
of the State are behind the
bill, having started their campaign
some weeks ago. and maintained a bureau
in Columbia. The companion
bill to the prohibition referendum bill,
also pending in the house and senate,
j ^ invokes the federal authority given by
\x the Webb bill to prevent shipment of
liquor into the State should the referendum
bill pass and a majority of the
qualified electors vote "dry" next SepItember.
Mr. War re i of Hampton ond Mr.
Shirley of Oconee have introduced in
^ the house their bill to create a State
bureau for marketing farm products,
a measure which was before the special
session of the general assembly in
October and treated with scant courtesy
then.
Mr. Rogers of Dillon has a bill in
the house providing for the assurance j

Bills on Cotton.
The cotton acreage reduction act,
which Gov. Smith in his inaugural ad
dress called the "first step toward
emancipation from cotton slavery," is
objectionable to at least two members
of the house and one senator. Mr.
Dixon of Fairfield and Mr. Moore of
Abbeville, in the house, and Senator
Verner of Oconee, in the senate, have
all offered bills to repeal this measure
passed at the special October session
and designed to reduce the production
of cotton by one-third in this State.

VALUABLE INFORMAHON
FOR FARMERSj
How They Can be Benefitted by
National Department
0 F F ICE OF~MANAGEMENT
Tlxcerpt from the Weekly News
Letter Issued by the Depart
i
The principal ,cct of the Oflic
of Farm Management is to show tlfarmer
how he ran increase his farm
income by good management. The
nice not only deals with general proh
die ways for any farmer with a sp- ci
ifis ways for any farmer with a specific
problem to handle. The office has
bG trained investigators of agriculture
istributer throughout the Northern
end Western States whose first business
is to gather the experience of
successful local farmers. The results
of their investigations are summarized
and the conclusions made generally
known.
The Oflice of Farm Management endeavors
to enable the farmer to organize
his work so as to dispense
with unnesessary work animals and
implements, and permit the farmer
and his family to do a maximum share
of the work so that a large part of
their profits will not have to go for
hired labor and to feed an overlarge
number of work animals over an unproductive
period.
The oflice is gathering data concern
ing the crops and types of live stock
which are more profitable in all sections
of the country and is attempting
to formulavc systems of farmingbased
on the most profitable enterprises
for farms of different sizes and
for different soil, climate, and economic
conditions. It has shown that
good farm organization greatly reduces
the cost of production as compared
with ordinary methods.
The oflice is giving special attention
to the problem of farm equipment in
the hope of being able to standardize
this equipment to a certain extent, or
at least to give out information that
will enable the farmer to know what
he needs and what it should cost; also
how much he is justified in putting
into equipment of different kinds.
The office is cooperating with a considerable
number of farmers, usually
4-1* a ? ? ^ ? J-1- ? ^ ?
ill\ i Livnii^ in m*; cuupcriiuon me oT.uie
agricultural college, in keeping complete
records of farm labor, income
and expenses. This enables the specialists
to determine the cost of production
as well as the cost of each
type of operation carried on on the
farm.
Some of the most interesting projects
of the office are its "farm management
surveys." These surveys
cover a group usually of about 700
farms in one locality. The data collected
from each farm includes the
total investment and its distribution
between land, buildings, live stock,
machinery, etc.. toerether with the to
tal income and the enterprises from
which it is derived, the total expense
and the character of these expenses.
This data permits the circulation of
the farmer's profits.
These surveys have given much information
concerning the factors of
efficiency in farming. They have
shown that the size of the farm is a
very important factor. In general,
the larger the farm the better the
net profits. They have shown that
the number of days' productive labor
which the farm provides is one of the
best measure*, of the profitableness of
the farm. Many other facts of interest
have been brought out, too numerous
to mention in this brief summary
of the work.
Another investigation has shown
just how the yield of crops depends
not. only on the fertility of the soil
but upon the character of the seed,
the kind and number of operations
performed, and the dates on which
these operations occur. Marked differences
in the method of managing
the same crop are found in different
localities, and the office attempts to
acquaint each locality with the best
methods of other communities.
The cost of producing the various
farm crops and of all kinds of animal
products is also studied by the survey
method. The cost of producing potatoes
has been studied in every important
producing center in the counttry.
The cost of producing apples is
now under investigation, the work
bong nearly completed. Studcs are
in progress on the cost of producing
cotton, beans, cabbage, corn, and other
crops; also on the cost of growing
beef cattle on the farm. A bulletin
has been issued on the cost of rearing
a dairy cow, the results being applicable
to the region north of the Ohio
River and east of the Mississippi River.
Much attention has been given to
the subject of farm bookkeeping, and
iwo bulletins on the subject have been
issued. One of them deals with general
principles, the other presents a
definite system of bookkeeping now in
use on many farms.
Methods of removing stumps from
lands from which the timber has been
:ut have been studied in all the more
important lumbering regions. Several
publications on the subject have
been issued. These deal with such
subjects as the proper use of explosives,
machinery for removing stumps
and debris from the land, cost of labor
and materials used in clearing
land ef stumps, etc.

CARUANZA PROMISES EXPORT
British Threat of Action Brings Him
to Terms, Says Unofficial Report.
Washington, Jan. 1(>.?The British
embassy tonight received word from
the British legation at Mexico City
that Carranza had lifted the embargo
on oil, thereby yielding to the British
threat of action. This threat was provoked
by the action of Carranza in issuing
a decree which cut off the supply
of oil for the British navy Foi
the prcscsnt at least, Carranza will
permit export of oil from Tampici
district.
Officials of the state department
heard today unofficially that Carranza
decided to yield the question.
It is true it has relieved the strain
which has been very tense.
The Mexican National convention is
t'omnir in nnntrnl nf (Vm i no in
Mexico for the present, pending
which an election will be held, according
to a proposition of the Zapata
delegates, which was conveyed to
day to the state department. The
convention will retain Gutierr, in
control, but he will be subject to removal.

APPROPRIATION AGREED UPON.
Nearly Fifty-Four Million Dollars is
Total.
Provisions for construction of two
great dread-noughts, six torpedo boat
destroyers, 1(1 coast defense submarines,
a seagoing submarine, a hospital
ship, a transport and a fuel ship
at an aggregate cost of $53,1 (58,828 is
made in the naval appropriation bill
agreed on last week by the Mouse naval
committee. All told the bill carries
$145,500,00, of which $22,903,988
is for new construction.
The construction programme falls
far below plans urged by Representative
Hobson and other big navy advocates,
but it includes the two battleships
asked for by Secretary Deniels
and provides for more auxiliaries than
the Secretary has contemplated.
Chairman Padgett protested that
the committee was "running wild"
with appropriations.
The programme proposes the building
of two battleships at not more
than $7,800,000 each, exclusive of armor
and armament.
Six torpedo boat destroyers at not
more than $925,000 each, exclusive of
armament.
One sea-going submarine at not
more than $1,400,00 exclusive of ai
mament.

$550,000 each.
One hospital ship at not more than
$2,250,000.
One transport at not more tlftm $2,
120,700.
Representative Hobson gave notice
that he would carry to the floor of the
House his fight for three battleships
two battle cruisers and additional destroyers
and submarines.
The bill's total appropriations ex
ceed Navy Department estimates by
$5,000,000, but it was pointed out that
this was occasioned by appropriations
for a battleship being built from procreeds
of the sale to Greece of the bat
tleships Mississippi and Idaho.
