C., MAROCI 9, 1921 The local delegation to the General Assembly followed a sound ipolicy in providing for the essential needs of the highway commission and leaving to the people it decision on expendi tures outside the original program. To bur mind, however, it would have been better to have made the extra bond Issues large enough to take care of needed improvements on other imu l)ortant highways of the county, the completion of the Laurens-Greenwood road, for instance. lowever, the dele gation had strong representations for .the smaller bond issues and could not Well avoid doing something to meet with these demands. s * $ WITlOUT" ANY FRIENDS In a lettet' to editors of paners in outh Carolina asking them to give as tnuch space as posible to the acreage reduction movement, A. B. Jordan, ()resident of the State Press associa ion sizes up the situation about as it is, as follows: "With mills closing down every where, with the cotton jobbing trade in the North practically at a stand still, with the demand for cotton goods .falling off every day, not only in the ~United States, but all over the world, a4nd iwith lEurope returning cotton to America because the spinners over there are not able to pay for it, it seems that South Carolina's only hope fles in acreage reduction, regardless of what other states do." The Advertiser could hardly add more to that except to go a little farther and say that each farmer would do well to reduce hi. acreage re gardless of what his neighbor does. The farmer who grows a large crop of cotton will take a long chance on profit and probably take a big loss if many do likewise. E0ven if there is a general reduction of acreage the profit on cotton will likely be small and the man who supplies himself at .home will be in a strong epxsition even if cotton prices remain low.

President Wilson G. Harvey. after considerable debate emphasized that Senator Watkins had procured more reductions than any other senator; he had led the fights which reduced the bill $98,912. 'He had first contem plated -putting Senator Williams, of Aiken, on the commission as Senator Williams had voted consistently with the radical wing for reduction. Son ator Williams asked to be excused. He then thought of putting Senator John son, of Allendale, but Senator John son was absent. He then appointed Senator Watkins, who had achieved more in his efforts to reduce the bill than any other, and so far as the chair was concerned the atppointments stood. The procedure was unprecedented in the senate, and the protest against free conference committee appoint ments was the subject of much dis cussion at the time in the lobbies of both houses. Senator Clifton took the floor after P'reident 'Harvey had dismissed the matter and emphasized that he was still of his original opinion that those advocating sharp reductions in the measure were without representation, and he did not "propose to be lec tured by the chair." The senate tonight continued until next session the bill by Representative Simonhoff, of Charleston, requiring a medical certiflcation of all males ap plying for marriage licenses. I Indications early tonight are that both houses will 'be in session until late tomorrow morning. During the lapse, the lower house is receding from business, subject to the call of the chair and occasional raps for order being given when papers are received in the senate, affecting ad lustments on many local measures.

Washington, March 5.--Cessation >f hostilities between Costa Rica and Panama is demanded in identical notes which it was learned tonight the state lepartment had dispatched today. to the governments of those two coun tries by Charles Evans Ilughes, the new secretary of state. This action was the first of the Ilarding administration in the roalmn of foreign affairs and was said to have been based on the grounds of broad expediency as the dispute be tween the Central American republics involved American interests in the 'anama ('anal Zone. A peaceful solution of the dispute over the territory of Coto on the basis of the WVh ite award is understood to have been suggested. The notes did not suggest mediation by the United States, but were understood to have eonveyil the imipression that thi; country stood ready to (nfOrce, if ne"cessaryt, a peaceful solution.
