St. Louis, Feb. 15.?Guv. Blea*3
of South Carolina has appointed
j eleven clergymen of that State ai
delegates to the Fourth American
1'eace Congress, which will be held
at St. Louis May 1. 2 and 3. The bst
of appointees was made public in S\
Louis by James E. Smith, chairman
of the Executive Committee for the
I' ace Congress.
In view of the purpose of the con?
gress, the action of South Carolina*
governor in assigning to a body of
representative ministers the duty of
representing that State, is considered
very appropriate. No other State so
far has chosen clergymen for the
task, the Texas appointees, for in?
stance, being members of the legisla?
ture and the Wyoming appointees hir?
ing, with two exceptions, banke*s,
capitalists and merchants.
The eleven clergymen constituting
the South Carolina delegation are:

Columbia, Feb. 17.?The General
Assembly begins Its bust week today
and it is expected that sine die ad?
journment will be reached by Friday
or Saturday at the latest. The House
some days ago adopted, a concurrent
resolution to adjourn sine die on Fri?
day of this week hut the Senate "has
not yet acted on the resolution. Some
action to place the Senate on record
on the matter will likely be made this
week.
The Genera] appropriation bill
went through the House last week in
record breaking time and is now un?
der consideration by the Senate, it
should be given Its third reading and
enrolled by Thursday at the latest and
sent down to Governor Blease by Fri?
day morning for such action as he
may see fit to take. It ought to he re?
turned to the House by the Governor
Friday afternoon and final disposition
made of those sections vetoed by Fri?
day night. Such, at least, is the gen?
eral expectation.
The appropriation bill carries over
|2,.,000, the largest in the history
of any previous legislature. It will I
take a State levy of S mills to
raise this amount and some fear that
there may be a deficit.
The House has practically cleared
it", calendar and is in shape for final
adjournment. No more first reading
bills Will be considered this session
and all speeches are to he limited to
ten minutes from each member and
no member must speak more than
twice on any subject, according to
rules adopted last week for the rest
of the session.
The local option compulsory educa?
tion bill, the bill giving Charleston the
right to regulate the sale of liquor un?
der high license, and the bill taking
over the Charleston Medical College
by the State were important measures
acted on by the House at this session
and passed. The passage of the com?
pulsory education bill came after a
long debate and by an overwhelming
vote and marked an epoch in the his?
tory of forward legislation. Equally
as important was the passage of the
bill giving Charleston the right to
regulate the sale of whiskey under
high license, provided the liquor is
handled in only original packages
For the past decade the spirit of pro?
hibition has been uppermost and ses?
sion after session prohibition bills
were passed by the House only to be
held up In the Senate. The Senate
now has under consideration the
Charleston liquor measure and it has
been fixed for a special order on Tues?
day.
The bills providing for a fiat two
cent passenger rate on railroads are
special orders In both houses. Gov?
ernor Please Is urging the legislature
to enact this measure Into law and
United States Senator TUlman favors
some BUCh measure. opponents of
this proposition are going to put up
a hard light In both houses and the
I outlook for successful passage of the
two cent rate bill is not bright. It
seems to be the hope of the opponents
to postpone any direct vote on the bill.
Poth Houses have continued until
next session the bills to establish a
State warehouse system for storing
cotton. Senator John L, McLaurin,
who served one Urm in the United
States Senate and now represents
Marlboro county in the upper branch
Of the legislature, backed the bill in
the Senate while Representative Mc?
Queen of Marlboro stood behind it in
the House. The feature which caus?
ed the postponement of the bill was
the proposition to raise the revenue
for establishing the warehouse by im?
posing a tax of 2") cents on every bale
of cotton grown or offered for sale in
the State. Hitter opposition to this
feature developed and some other
means of raising the necessary funds
must be found to ever get the meas?
ure enacted Into law. Some of the
opponents were willing for the bill to
be passed and submitted to a vote of
the people of th<- state as to whether
or not it would become n law,
The Senate adopted a resolution
asking Senator McLaurin to visit tin
legislatures ol the other cotton grow?
ing States In advocacy of the ware?
house plan so some plan which would
be acted on by all the states could be
evolved but Ihe House sei down good
and haid on the resolution and killed

Columbia, Feb. 17.?"Unless the
legislature passes the bill providing a
one-mill levy for the support of the
free public schools I will veto every
nickel Of the appropriations for BtatO
colleges," said Governor Blease, this
morning.
This means that unless this is done
the appropriation for Winthrop, the
University, the Citadel and other State
institutions will be knocked out and it
Is doubtful about the house being able
to override the veto.
Boys' Corn Club to Meet.
There will be a meeting of the
Sumter County Boys' Corn Club at the
court house next Saturday, Febru?
ary 22, the first meeting for this year.
It Is expected that the club will
be larger this year than ever before
as a result of the corn exposition
which has just closed in Columbia and
which aroused a great deal of inter?
est among the boys in the growing of
corn.
The prizes for the compositions
written on the trip to Columbia by
members of the Boys* Corn Club will
be announced next week.
Deputy Clerk Appointed.
Judge Ernest Gary last week con- 1
firmed the appointment of Mr. Rob?
ert L. McLeod, the clerk to the Coun?
ty Board of Commissioners, as deputy
clerk of court. Mr. McLeod's ap- i
pointmont as deputy clerk will be only
nominal, as he will not be called on
to do any work In the clerk's office
except to sign papers, only during the
absence of the clerk from the city, his
appointment being solely for the con?
venience of the public should the clerk
at any time be called out of town.
A Waste of Good Stuff?
Florence Times.
Our friend Josh Ashley has a bill
before the house that we are pleased
to commend most highly. It is a
good offset to the bill to legalize
lynching. This bill proposes to put
all contrabrand liquors seized in the
hospitals and alms houses of the
State for the benefit of the inmates.
It certainly is a pity to pour anything
out on the ground that may be of
use to people who need it, and the
sick and the aged can use it and do
need it, no matter how we may regard
Its use by the well and strong, and
it is such a waste of the gifts of prov?
idence that He would hold us ac?
countable for and it ought to be
stopped.

tified c<?py with the county auditor is
a third reading bill in the Senate for

aimed at preventing the situation
which arose last summer and furnish?
es some safeguards for the primary.
Senator Nicholson is the author of
the bill and he voiced the sentiments
of many people when he said that un?
less Bome safeguard was thrown
around the primary lots of people
would never participate in another.
However it is not believed that the
bill will get through at this ses?
sion.
Senator Patterson had a bill to re?
quire male applicants for marriage

tificate that he was free from any
contagious or infectious disease as a
requisite for getting license and some
wanted to amend the bill so as to

ence.
New York, Feb. 10.?The crisis in
the controversy between the Kastern
railroads and their 14,000 firemen,
Which last we.'k narrowed down to
the method of arbitration to he em?
ployed to settle the differences be?
tween them, is expected tomorrow,
when representatives of both sides
have agreed to meet Judge Knapp, of
the Commerce Court, and G. W.
Hanger, acting Commissioner of La?
bor, the Federal mediator in a final
effort to avert a strike.
"We are waiting for Judge Knapp
and Mr. Hanger to announce that they
are unable, under the Federal laws
to secure arbitration," President W. S.
Garter, of the Brotherhood of Loco?
motive Firemen and Knginemen, said
tonight. "This means that nothing
will be done by us until tomorrow.
Mr. Hanger met with the confer?
ence committee of managers today,
but declined tonight to discuss the na?
ture of the conference. He said that
tomorrow he would join Judge Knapp
who is expected to return from Wash?
ington late 4onight for further meet?
ings with both sides. Much signifi?
cance is attached to this hurried visit
of Judge Knapp to Washington and
also to the conference today of Mr.
Hanger and the railroad managers,
and another proposal as to the meth?
od of arbitration is expected to be
made to the firemen tomorrow.
Replying to the statement made by
President Carter, Mr. Hanger said:
"When we announce that we are un?
able to bring both sides to terms of
arbitration, then it will be up to Mr.
Carter to act; we will have done all
that wa< possible under the condit?
ions."
In a formal statement to the pub?
lic tonight President Garter discussed
the Erdman Act, under the terms of
which the railroad managers have re?
fused to arbitrate, and contradicted
various declarations of the railroads
regarding the arbitration board of
seven which settled the differences of
the engineers with the same lines last
summer.
"With regard to the public state?
ments by the railroad companies,
wherein it is said that the engineers
are satisfied and have been benefited
by arbitration under the railroads'
plan and the railroads have paid one
million dollars in back pay, etc," said
Mr. Garter in his statement, "1 am
advised by Grand Chief Stone, of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi?
neers, that while it has b* en ten
months since they agreed to arbitrate,
ami seven months since the hearings
were closed and given to the arbitra?
tion board for a decision, the award
of that board has not yet been put into
effect except on one railroad .and it
lias been found necessary to request
the engineers' arbitration board to
meet and finally decide what they real?
ly did mean by the award that they
handed down.
Hotel More Than Full.
The Claremont Hotel one day this
week was unable to accommodate all
of those who applied there foi rooms,
fifteen persons having been turned
away at that time. At other times the
hotel has been kept practically full
at nights and generally during the
day most of the rooms were taken.
Traveling men who have mention?
ed the matter seem to be well pleased
with the accommodations furnished
them at the hotel, especially with the
meals provided.
The report is current that the South
Carolina Western Railway (Seaboard)
which is now building from Lydia to
Timmonsville via Lamer, is pre?
paring to continue the road from
Timmonsville to olanta. If this plan
is carried out it will become all the
more necessary for Sumter to make an
effort to obtain railroad connection
with the Shlloh and Olanta section.
If something Is not clone in this di?
rection the trade of that entire sec?
tion will be entirely lost to Sumter ?
and it is a business worth making an
effort to obtain.
The Tomato Club work, under the
direction of Mise Maty Lemmon, is

REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE.
WATSON URGES PLANTERS lo
CURTAIL COTTON < ROP.
Commissioner Tells Grtm'erii Not to be
M tided by Prcaenl Price Co-opor
ation Asked.
Columbia, Feb. If.?"The planting
season is upon us now. Stop ami think
for a day or two before you listen to
the siren song of 13 cents." says B. J.
Watson, COIUml?loner of agriculture
of South Carolina and president of
the Southern Cotton congress in an
address to the fanners of the South,
issued yesterday, in which he urge? a
reduction of cotton acreage during
the coming season.
"The cotton growers of the South,"
says the commissioner) "have passed
through two of the most trying years
in the history of cotton. At this time
last y< ar chose who have been in the
forefront of the fight to maintain a
living price for cotton against abnor?
mal conditions, made possible by
American and foreign market meth?
ods, which as yet are permitted to
exist, were bending every energy to
bring about a reduction of acreage,
or at least to prevent an increase of
acreage. Conditions following the
hug,-? crop of 1911, and hard work |
made this possible. The price on the
croo just harvested was kept steady,
j 'A more serious situation con?
fronts you now and hence this word
I
of warning. With the price of the
1912 crop remaining fairly good and
steady all the season through the ar?
gument of the manipulators will be
! that the cotton farmer of the South
will yield to temptation and do as he
has done hundreds of time before?
plant more acreage to cotton, on the
assumption that the price will stay
up. This expectation you have jus?
tified in the past and it will be used
' from the start. Under present laws
and established methods, though the
world demand be for a crop possibly
larger than 14.500,000 bales. I want
to say to you it will be suicidal to in?
crease your acreage. It is more im->
portant to hold yourself and your ac?
reage in check this year than ever be?
fore. To yield to the temptation of
an increased price this season will be
equivalent to proving yourself devoid
of even common sense.
"The planting season is upon us
now. Stop and think for a day or
two before you listen to the siren song
of 13 cents. The danger to you and
yours is greater by far than last year.
If you must have a larger acreage on
your farm, put the Increase In corn
and other food crops. As one who
has striven to aid you in the hour of
need, and has been faithful to the
trust imposed in him, let me entreat
you to hold your acreage down and
prove to the world that you are not
obliged to rush in and do what every
cotton broker in New York, Liver- .
pool and elsewhere expect you to do
for your own undoing and the en?
richment of others.
"In this State I have endeavored to
get the general assembly to enact a
simple cotton statistics-gathering law
that will force facts on the world -
when they should be there?not when
it is too late; this measure, which
would aid in some degree, is not yet
a law. Oklahoma already has it, and
your organizations have all asked for
it in every cotton State.
"Again let me beg of you to watch
your acreage, and let good sense in?
stead of lack of judgment guide you
in the pi. :* ng of your crop this year.
If you don't you will face in the fall
a situation that may be the most se?
rious you have ever faced.
"If you don't do your part now,
don't say then that you were not
warned.
"The fight for justice to America s
greatest money crop can not be won
by a few men year after year; it must
command the personal co-operation of
every grower of cotton."
