RETAIL TRADE MONOPOLY.

Vii?mikhmI Statements Made to Cham?
ber of Commerce of the United
tttate*? Financial luteifst? Striving
to do ltetnll Boslncse What Tho
Us re Accomplished In Indus trial
Washington. Feb. 13.?Having con
ejngfSJd the industrial field, the great
financial Interests ere now striving for
monopolies in the retail business of
the nation, William H. Ingersoll, a
Naw York merchant, told the dele?
gates to the meeting of the Cham*
bar of Commerce of the United Statei
here today
He made his assertions concerning
retail monopoly In the course of a
?perch advocating a law permitting
makers of a trademark article to
diotate the price of re-sule to the re
taller Price cutting of well known
brands 1* one of the principal weap?
ons now in the hand* of the great re
tall monopolist, he argued.
The process used by certain class?
es of retailers, not only threatens the
existence of the brands themselves,
but tends to divert trade from the lo?
cal centers to the great stores of the
great cities, oppresses the thousands
of small merchants in eitlen and ctmall
er towns aad Is bringing about that
same concentration of business in the
retuil field which hu* thrust upon
the American people the trust prob?
lem, which they have had such dif?
ficulty in wrestling with. In '.he indus?
trial field.* said Mr. Ingersoll, "it
not only hurts business In the small?
er centers but by lessening the oppor?
tunity for the young people growing
up there, contributes to the depopu?
lation of the towns, sending them to
the citlee in search of opportunity.
"Whether in Doston. New York or
Sen Francisco, or almost any city in
between them, you will find that
within the last dozen years, the drug
business ai.d the cigar business b.-.
been largely brought within the con?
trol of single companies operating
chain stores; In fact, the cigar busi?
ness from coast to coast Is in no
small degree In the hands of a well
known chain store system with Its
thousand branch establishments;
while the president of this sum.
company Is reported recently to have
acquired control of the largest chain
store system of drug stores, with the
probability of similar nation-wide ex?
tension. In Philadelphia, it is re?
ported, that within five years over
half the grocery stores have been pu*
out of business by chain stores, and
chains of grocery' stores on a nation?
wide scale aro getting their hold on
the market, one system now having
som?? '. at I.ranch"*.
? Not only ig we find the depart?
ment stores us units, but now these
mammoth Institutions ere being them?
selves combined Into a great chain,
which already has control of the lead?
ing establishments In nearly 50 ot thu
principal trading centers of America.
This company la understood to be
i losely affiliated with the largest
wholesale business In America, owning
factories and having control of rnan>
subsidiary businesses from pianos to
haberdashery. Smaller chains of de

and addresses of 10.500 separate

All auctions are affected and the

Explains to Huqw Remark of Ills
Which Otrvernor Mentioned In
gpeeoh.
Columbia, Feb. l?.?tfpeaking to a;
point of pemonel privilege yesterday
morning, Mr. Rlttenberg of Charles
ton made the foil->wlng statement to
the houee: )
"I am Informed by some of the
members of thl? house who were pres-j
ent and by reports from The News
and Courier of this duts that his ex-|
cellency, the governor, In a speech '
delivered at a banquet in Charleston
last night, made the statement that I
stated on the floor of the house that I
wa? elected to my present ofuae by
fraudulent votes.
"I desire to correct his excellency,,
che governor, In his misinformation.
What I did say was that In my elec?
tion there were some fraudulent
votes, because when the votes in n
* certain box lr. the city were counted,
? it was found that there van a majority i
of about 250 for me, and that 1 have
good reason to believe that the ma
> jorlty of the votes cast In that box
were fraudulent.
' However, my majority in |A9 elec?
tion of 1912 was either CGO or 860, (II
have not the official figures with me),
and even counting all the majority
votes in the aforementioned box as
fraudulent, my majority, clear of any
j suspicion, would still remain 400 or
600, so that I was not elected by
fraudulent votes, but the fraudulent
votes that were counted for me sim?
ply helped to increase the size of my
majority as officially recorded."
The house ordered Mr. Rittenberg's
statement printed in the Journal.

To the Honorable F. B. Gary, Presid?
ing Judge:
We, your grund Jury beg leave to
submit our final presentment for the
spring term of court of General Ses?
sions of Suinter county.
We have passed upon all bills hand?
ed us by the acting solicitor endors?
ing our action thereon.
We desire to thank your Honor for
the uniform courtesy and considera?
tion shown by you in the transaction
of business of the court as well ap for
the practical suggestions and advice
which has been of so much help in
the discharge of our duties.
We also desire to express our
sympathy with the solicitor of this cir?
cuit P. H. atoll, Esq., in the sickness
which has prevented his attendance
upon this session of court
L. E. Wood, Esq., whom your Honor
appointed Acting Solicitor has dis?
charged his duties faithfully and suc?
cessfully. He has been, not only effi?
cient but a most courteous and pains?
taking officer of the court, command
j ing the respect and esteem of all In
the conduct of affairs.
Your Honor has called attention of
the grand Jury tc the large number of
witnesses In actions in the hands of
the solicitor, who have failed to an
1 swer when called and in many in?
stances the business of the court was
1 not only delayed but the cases were
obliged to be carried over. We recom?
mend that all magistrates be more
careful In binding witnesses over to
court In such manner as to secure
their attendance and that all magis?
trates be required to file all papers in
j
i the office of the clerk of court at least
ten days before the court convenes as
required by law.
vVe repeat recommerdatlons made
heretofore as to advisability of erect?
ing guard houses for the convenience
of the rural policemen and suggest
that one be located at Wedgefield,
' one at Shiloh, and one at Dalzell.
j We note that the legislature of
the State has now under consider?
ation a compulsory school law and
also compulsory medical examination
of all children attending public
schools. We heartily endorse such
proposed legislation and urge our
county representatives to use their
best efforts to so cure enactment of
same.
Our attention has been called to the
unsanitary condition of one of the
slaughter pens near the city of Sum
ter. We recommend that the super?
visor investigate the condition of all
slaughter pens and cee that same are
kept in sanitary condition.
Complaint having reached us that
I some special constables have abused
their power and acted in some in?
stances, In a manner unbecoming to
officers of the law, we desire to call
the attention of the magistrates to tho
selection of such ollleers in tho fu?
ture.
We understand that there is a
proposition from the city of Sumter
to purchaae the opera house property
rom the county and we recommend
hat th< County Commissioners con
sldt r *uch proposition and if the city
offers a satisfactory price for this
property that the sale be made.
We have appointed the following
Otn mit tees for the year:

Columbia, Feb. 18.?The general
, appropriation bill reported in the
house last night by George W. Dick,
M. D., of Sumter, chairman of the
Ways and means committee, carries a>
total of $2, wit 1,7*5, an increase of I
$574,056 over the appropriation for
191S. The ways and means commit
' tee has been working night and day
on the appropriation bill, paring
down the amounts asked for by the!
' \arious departments of the State, gov-|
eminent and various institutions un
(der State control. It is estimated
\ that should the bill go through in
! its present form it will require a tax
' levy of seven mills as compared with
j the six and one-quarter mills levy for
1913.
j The appropriation bill carries an ap
: propriation of $25,000 to begin the
: erection of a State tuberculosis hos?
pital under the supervision of the
I State board of health. Winthrop col- j
' lege is given $30,000 for a gymnasium 1
on condition that It raise $35,000 from!
other sources. It is understood that!
!
the college already has the neces
1 sary sum in hand.
The State Institution for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind at Cedar Springs is
given $40.000 for new buildings and
j equipment. The South Carolina In
1 dustrial school is given $40,000 for
! new buildings and equipment. The to
' tal appropriation for the support of
the South Carolina Medical college, a
new state Institution, 1? $34,800.
The bill increases the appropriation :
for the State Hospital for the Insane'
.by $50,266, rvf which $20,000 is to]
pay the deficit of 1918.
One of the big increases in the ap?
propriations is caused by the fact that
1 1914 Is election year. The appro?
priation for elections is $45,785 as
I compared with $9,350 in 1913.
One of the chief reasons why the
; appropriation bill exceeds that of 1913 j
I is because it carries about $270,000 j
j for the support of the public schools.
This appropriation is made with th<
i
i proviso that it shall not become avail-1
r .
j able if the senate passes the onu mill
? tax bill now pending.
The appropriation for the Univer-.
' slty of South Carolina is cut a few
j thousand, as compared with 1913.

j states that the proposed encampment
I of the National Guard of North Car?
olina and South Carolina and the
regular troops stationed at the posts

j This automatically ends the fight

general of South Carolina last night,
regarding reports from Spartanburg
that Greenville had been selected asj

the statement that nothing was known

campaign to secure for some South
Carolina city the manoeu\re camp is
oetng pressed by the adjutant gen?
eral's ollice, but as yet the general
assembly has not acted on the request
[ made of it by Greenville for assist
[anco to the extent of a $15,000 appro?
priation, and no intimation has been
received from Washington as to the
heice likely to be made.

Starting- the South Carolina Florae
Show Association shows, Carnden
jromis. s the premier show of the
circuit, with the purses over dou?
bled will encourage the largest en-<
ry of blooded horses ever seen in j
he local arena with some of Amer
ca's best exhibitors handling the
>it and spur.
Camden was one of the first to
unter the horse show circuit which
vas organized In the early port of
he year. The Camden show has.
always been one of the feature
shows of the South, and the com-!

Darlington, April 14-15-1?.
Columbia, April 21-22-23.
Greenwood, April 28-30.
Greenville, May 6-1-3.
The total distance between the
towns farthest apart is only 220
miles, thus making this circuit a
short Jump circuit, with conven?
ient schedules to all. The total
(..mount in cash premiums offered
over the circuit is over 37,000, with

t'OL'R WEEKS COURSE SUCCESS.
Score of Farmers Given Practical In?
struction in Clcmson Short Course.
Clemson College, Feb. 13.?Nine?
teen men were enrolled in the farm?
ers" short course which has just clos?
ed at Clemson College, and the col?
lege authorities consider that this
year's course has been one of the
most successful since this work was
etabllshed. It is better known as the
i')ur Weel'* course and began this
year on January 13, ending this week.
Those men who stayed through to
be end of the course appeared to be
ilghly pleased at having come and
ill satisfied with what they had been
able to learn in the short space of
time given to the work.
The men who took the short course
re practical farmers, most of whom
l t d not had earlier opportunities for
am ng scientlilc agricultural meth?
ods. The aid of the college was tO(
give these men as broad and thor
i.gh knowledge of the elements of
iuriculture as could be given In four
weeks. The course contained work j
in agronomy, including plant growth,*
so ls fertilizers, tillage, implements
and farm crops; work in animal in-:
dustry, including breeds of animals, j
breeding, feeding. care of animals'
and stock Judging; and some work in
he rtlculture, dairying, veterinary
science, and entomology.
This course is given at Clemson i
cllege early each year. The enroll
?n nt i.s steadily increasing in size
lid there aro other evidences that In-?
ten st in it is growing among the:
farmers of the State. The course is
op n to all practical farmers who
*s:?nt to take it. It is desired to Im?
press farmers In all sections of the
St*.to with the large opportunities
Which these four weeks of work hold
for them, In order that as many as
possible may receive the benefits.
Much care Is taken in the Instruc?
tion of the men who take the short
cot rse. This course possesses advan
tanes for the practical farmer which
are likely to mean a very real In?
crease in his income and which will
besides enable him to apply himself
to mote advanced scientific study with
ag understanding of fundamentals.

Washington. Feb. 12.?Although
nothing of a confirmatory nature
could bo secured here today regard
.ng the m Itter, it was understood that
Senator Tillman had opened commu?
nication with the White House re?
garding the appointment of Francis
H. Weston as district attorney and
James L. Sims as marshal, whose
nominations were sent to the senate
ior confirmation by the senate a day
or two ago.
In view of the statement made by
Senator Tillman on the day that the
nominations were made that he would
not oppose Mr. Weston because Mr.
Thurmond, whom he had recom?
mended, had failed of appointment,
there is considerable interest in the
rumor current today regarding the
correspondence which he is said to
have had with the White House on
:he subject.
If Senator Tillman has decided that
he will oppose Mr. Weston, after his
reported attitude in the matter, it is
safe to say that it will be a long time
efore a confirmation is bad.
There is much in this matter in the
;vay of private correspondence which
has never come to the attention of
he public through the press, but If
:here is a delay and an effort made
:o block proceedings it may lead to
'.m spicy developments.
Senator Smith when asked about
; the rumor that Senator Tillman was
in correspondence with the White
House, saivi he knew nothing of the
matter and other sources tailed to
produce the necessary information.
President Wilson was confined to his
room with a cold, and for these rea?
