Wise of Chester succeeded John H. Dukes of Orangeburg today as chairman of the state industrial com pensation commission which admin isters the workmen’s compensation law. Wise’s appointment to the com mission by the late Gov. J. E. Har ley, was confirmed by the senate, but Wise delayed taking the oath of office until after adjournment of the legislature. It appeared likely tonight that Gov. R. M. Jefferies, who signed Wise’s, commission this morning would call a special session of the state senate to elect a successor to Wise as president pro tern of the senate. Wise was named president pro tem after president Pro Tern Jef feries succeeded to the governor’s chair upon the death of Harley.. The constitution provides that when the president pro tem of the senate be- coms governor, he “shall then forthwith, by proclamation, convene the senate in order that a president pro tempore may be chosen.” Miss Viola Dominick, of Spartan burg visited her mother, Mrs. Verona Dominick and brother Pinckney Abrams and Mrs. Abrams over the week-end, Most Textile Mills Soon on War Goods Washington, April 21—The war production board took an initial step today toward eventual forced con version of about 88 per cent of the cotton textile industry to war or es sential civilian production. Acting after months of investiga tion and study, WPB ordered from 20 to 100 per cent of the weaving looms in textile mills now produc ing various civilian cotton fabrics shifted to manufacture of bagging for sand bags, camouflage cloth and food and agricultural bags. Two Months to Comply Cotton mills were granted up to 60 days in which to complete the required change-over, whidh WPB said was necessary to compensate for losses of burlap supplies, for merly imported from India, and steadily increasing military and farm demands for bagging. No appreciable effect on civilian fabrics for such goods as shirts, sport clothes, and towels was ex pected immediately. However, of ficials predicted that by next spring such fabrics would present a uni formly coarse appearance—^particu larly apparent, for example ,in ex- pensivte broadcloth shirts. At the present time, stocks of Cme goods are reported heavy. Other civilian fabrics which will be affected including those for draperies, upholstery, tapestry, out ing flannel, athletic uniforms, sheeting and bed ticking. More Raw Cotton Used Textile experts said they expected the conversion program to prove a boon to cotton farmers in the form of an increased consumption of raw cotton and expansion of the use of part-waste and lower grade cotton. Although farmers now have no difficulty in disposing of high quality cotton, they find little de mand for poorer grades. As a supplement to today’s order, which in effect converts about 50 percent of the cotton textile in dustry’s capacity ty war orders, WPB will issue future instructions specifically assigning additional ca pacity to production of certain es sential civilian fabrics—such as den im, used in manufacture of overalls and work clothes. Issuance of these orders will bring the total war or essential civilian output of weaving mills to slightly more than 888 per cent of capacity. The percentage remaining wdll be devoted to ordinary civilian produc tion. Reaction from the cotton textile industry was generally favorable al though some spokenmen declared it would be difficult to convert some types of looms to production of bagging. They welcomed the defin ite statement of government re quirements and the implied promise of priority aid in meeting them.

NEWBERRY FARMERS ASKED FOR MILK INCREASE Newbeny county farmers have been asked to Increase their 1942 milk production 2 million pounds over the 1941 production says P. B. Ezell, County Agent, who is sugges ting that farmers plant one-third to one-half acre per cow of summer grazing crops such as pearl millet or sudan for every cow. Pearl millet is generally preferred by farmers who have had experience with both crops but the scarcity of millet seed may make it necessary to substitute sudan grass in many cases this year. These crops will increasemilkpro- duction and cut feed costs during dry periods when permanent partures are short. During these periods they are equally important for the family cow or the commercial herd. Several commercial dairymen of Newberry county have used Pearl millet or sudan grass for a number of years and found them to be a val uable grazing crop. Farmers who have had experience with them in clude J. F. Hawkins, C. B. Parr, I. M. Smith, Clifford T. Smith, W. E. Senn, Z. W. Dennis, and O. P. Suber. In selecting the land for Pearl mil let Mr. Ezell states that it is im portant to select good land close to the barn where it will be convenient to graze the field for short periods. Thirty to forty pounds of seed per acre is the proper rate of seeding. While it is preferably seeded with a grain drill it can be broadcast by hand. A liberal application of ma nure and 300 pounds of complete fer tilizer per acre will give profitable increased yields of grazing. Many farmers follow their sum mer grazing crops with small grain and legume mixtures for winter and early spring grazing, using .his land year after for annual gn—mgf crops. Mrs. Carrie Neel, who has been visiting her son, Collier Neel and family for about seven weeks left last Saturday for Chattanooga, Tenn. where she will visit another son, Walter Neel and family. Newberry Musicians Win State Honors The Newberry High school band entered the State Contests at Win- throp college, Rook Hill, S. C. last Friday and won a first place group 1 rating.

The High school girl’s Glee club was one of only three girl's class “A’’ High School Glee clubs in the state to win a group 1 rating. The other two being Rock Hill and Win- throp Training School. Dr. Wil liamson on his criticism sheet for the singers praised them 'highly for their tone quality. Friday p. m. all bands were invit ed to participate in the marching Band Contests in connection with the large Army Day parade in Rock Hill sponsored by the Rock Hill Chamber of Commerce.

PASTOR EXPRESSES THANKS Again Newberry has shown her hospitality in a way tha‘, is most ad mirable. About 250 Baptist students were in Newberry attending the Baptist Student Spring Retreat from Fridry afternoon through Sunday noon. Plans and arrangements were made by committees from the First Baptist church, but all the people in Newberry joined hands with us. Even after enough homes had been secured to car for this number there were those from other churches who asked that we send them some students. Members of all our churches ren dered a real service to us. As pastor of the First Baptist church, on behalf of the members and on behalf of the Baptist students I wish to express appreciation to each of you and to all of you. The min isters in the city did more than their part in helping to make provision, for 250 college boys and girls. New Derry College asked for forty boyf when we first started making plans, and before the plans were complete the college assisted the local B. U. S. in giving a reception on Saturday after noon. We thank Dr. Kinard and the entire faculty for every service ren- dred. Th Chamber of Commerce was on the alert as usual and rendered val uable service in many ways. One ser vice greatly appreciated was the placing of cards in business windows welcoming Baptist Students. Mrs. R. G. Wallace, the Newberry Hotel, the Wiseman Hotel and the Busy Bee Cafe rendered not only valuable ser vice, but perhaps sacrificial service. We deeply appreciate the adequate provision made by each one for the meals. Another splendid service has been rendered by Newberry and we thank you each and all. J.

Luther Aull, of Fort Leanard Wood, Mo. Quote, “I i spent the week-end in a small town near the camp name Rolla, it is about the size of New berry, I spent the night at the USO center a beautiful brick building built especially for the purpose and our cots didn’t cost anything.
