Washington, Sept. 7.?Following a brief Labor Day recess, the Urs! of the prol< nged ucsrt< n, congress will re sums work tomorrow, chief Interest ? centering in the emergency revenue bill to raise $100,000,000, The house i ways nui? means committee hopes i?y i Thursday at the latcat to agree up n e? mmodities tt? be taxed. Reprcsen- 1 tatlve Underwood, ehalrman ot the committee, believes the house can pass the bill by Saturday night, 1 Informal conferences today resulted In no definite understanding as to i what commodities should be taxed other than beer, proprietary pre para- I lions and soft drinks. Several members of the committee 1 are still Insistent that an additional tax should be levied on distilled 1 liquors and the question probably will he decided by a record vote In tho committee. Taxes on automobiles and moving pictures appeared tonight the m Ot likely additions to the list al- I though the form they would take was i in doubt. ! Members of the finance committee ? are anxious to have the revenue bill : passed In the house.

Clemaon College, Sept, 7.?To on* ] Courage dairy farming by giving the [ farmer with a small number of cows , A ready and profitable market for his | producta, Clemaon College has convert* j ed its dairy Into a cooperative cream- ; cry and has begun to establish cream , routes in the Piedmont section, it. is j desired to establish tit least three or i four of these routes. The held work ? is being dons by w. D, Watkins, a Clemaon graduate of the class of 110$, who has just been .appointed. The federal bureau of animal indus? try is cooperating In the work. The dairy division of Clemson Col? lege desires to get in touch with farm? ers in the Piedmont who have surplus dairy products to dispose of, but are having trouble in finding markets for them. The creamery is designed es? pecially to help BUCh farmers, as the wagons will be operated over the routes regularly and often enough to get the creum to the railroad and thence to the college in good condi? tion, It is believed that this is one of the best opportunities of the sort e ver offered to s? uth Carolina farm? ers, Tin- route system will place a cash market for cream within the reach of every farmer it touches. The creamery will be run on the coo pe rut lev plan. There arc not enough cows in any one locality of the Piedmont at this time to warrant operating u local creamery, t'lcmson colli ge has a thoroughly equipped plant ami there will lie no udditional overhead expense. The plan is to take out only enough to pay the ex? penses of manufacture und to give the farmers tl"- highest possible prices for their cream. Another ad vantage Is that the college, with u market already rstabllnhed and with faellltleH for marketing better butter, will be able to get math better prices at all limes than Individual farmers could get.

Sept. 8.?Both trio' state department and the British em? bassy here repudiated today's sug? gestions of A. Liustem rey, the Turk? ish ambassador, in a statement yester? day that Groat l?ritaln might be en? deavoring to draw tin- United States Into tin European war in urging the dispatch of an American warship t?? Turkish waters to care for Christian interests in Turkey. It also became i known that the American government would take no olllclal cognisance of the statement. Great Britain's expression on the subject answered an Inquiry by the United states as to whether she would object to the sending of an Xmerican warship. The American government circularised the powers before send? ing the cruiser North Carolina to Turkey. Tin' erroneous Impression having been derived from the statement 1 made yesterday that i had reason to doubt the Intentions oi' tin- United States in regard to Turkey, i li nden to declare that my conversations with the Secretary of State have given nie the Conviction that the administration is sending only one .ship, the North Car? olina, to Turkish waters, ami that one on no different mission from that Which taking her to other Euro? pean ports. My visit today to tin Assistant Secretary of the Navy had no connection whatever with this inestion." Informally the ambassador added hat ho was positive the United States would take no step that might lead to (implications with Turkey. Proof of the Pudding.
