BIG ROW SHEWING G.O. P Signs of Friction in Republican Organi zation Becoming More Noticeable Daily By Wallace Bassford (Special N,ews Correspondent). Washington, Sept. 3.?It was a splendid assemblage that gathered last March to witness the inaugu ration of President Harding, after eight years of Republican wander ing in^e wilderness, Iargely4due to President Taft's strong leaning toward corporate interests and to Republican legislative favors to the big-rich. The crowd on the presidential pavilion and the re served sections was made up large ly of silk-hatted gentlemen whose names are found in the lists of the directorate of the big industrial corporation^ railroads and banks. There wer? many greetings, much of. handshaking and congratulat ing, but perhaps nothing was more enlightening than the brief confab Uetween one of the guests and one of the wise old Republican sena tors w#o had seen McKinley and Taft come and go. The drector was in. fine fettle?the conditions were a?spicious. He remarked, as he looked about on Republcan sena tors, -representatives and hangers- ; ?on- sleekx prosperous and without number, that "it looks as if the jail ?nnium has come." "Yes," re. pBed the? old and wise senator, ~and tirrt same milenniiim will, with^i a rew montns, blow up with a loud bang." It ha> not yet blown up, but those who saw the beginnings of cleavage in the Republican ranks in =1908, and saw that split result in .the election of a Democratic Congress in 1910, are strongly re minded of those days. Dissension .>-Ss^strong in the Republican ranks today. They ax*, again finding ample causes for disagreements along the old hues of Standpatter and Progressive. While the tariff b?l was being put together in the house, the dance at the crack of the party whip, succeeded in modi - fying the bill in, half a dozen im portant particulars. In fact, they - beat the organization on ' every thing on which they were allowed to.have a separate vote. Now it is learned that the bill is to be laid aside, at least for a time, in order to give the right of way to the v taxation bill, which was not start ed ^frntii after the tariff bill had p^i^SPbh^Jbouse. There are thos^ ^^who'think it is being laid aside per manently. The president seems im pressed with the regularity with which Republican defeat has tol- \ lowed their tariff tinkering in tha session which recently took 'month's recess while the coun is suffering,from a score of se lous ills, - passed but one bill of j ide application and large import teer?the agricultural credits bill, president called the session to pass a new- tariff bill, to reduce the burden of taxation and to take care of the railroads by legislating! so _that they could at once receive the money owed them by the gov ernment and defer for ten years "payment of those sums' which the roads owe to the treasury. None of these three things, which the Republicans claim are wise, salu tary and needful,-has been accom plished. The" congress got each job about half completed and then took a recess. The Democratic leaders took the view that it was just as well, on the ground that they would, if. they remained in session, enact poor and harmful legislation! They, the Democrats, have not enough votes to initiate good legislation, nor, in most cases, enough to defeat the bad. just why the Republican con gressmen should be in such need of a rest is hard to understand, for the votes recorded in the Congres sional Record prove that the aver age roll call showed only about two-thirds+of the Republican mem bersh.{_> present, excepting during the' first few days and the last few days of the* session. In other words, something l^ke one-third of the Republicans -^cere absent on each roll calL Railroads With draw Protest Lower Rates on Cotton For Short Hauls Go into Effect Columbia, Sept. 5.?The rail roads have withdrawn their pro test to the low freight rates on cot ton for short hauls, as recently or dered by the railroad commission. This is announced by the commis sion today. The roads submitted a schedule, which would have reduced the rates on hauls up to 130 miles, but increased the rates for hauls of more than 130 miles. The railroad commission cut the schedule in : half, allowing the reductions on the less than 130-mile hauls, but disallowing the rates for hauls of j more than 130 miles. The railroads Objected, on the ground that 7G , miles, not 130. is the usual "short ' haul." However, this objection has i now been withdrawn, and the roads have announced that they will put the rate into effect, but ? with the understanding that it is ; effective "under protest." It is j stated that the new rate will mean I a big saving on shor: hauls of cot- j ton. ? ? ?

Columbia, Sept. 5.?An investi- J gation of the methods of construe-! tion, and maintenance and the gen eral serviceability of sand clay and top soil roads is to be made in South Carolina at an early date by the bureau of roads of the depart ment of agriculture at Washington, as a part of a general investigation of this class of highways through out the country. Announcement of this investigation was made today from the offices in Columbia of the state highway department. W. L.. Spoon, a road engineer from the bureau of roads, will come to South Carolina and con duct the investigation for the fed eral government.. He will work out of Columbia, but his investiga tions of the top-soil highways will be largely in the Piedmont section, with sand-clay roads in the lower half of the state as his main ob ject of study. There will be three objects in this investigation in South Caro 'lina by the federal engineers; first, to determine the service value of sand clay and top soil roads, as compared with other types, with a view to determining the cost of operating vehicles over them, and also the cost of maintaining them; second, to determine the char acteristic of the materials best suit ed for the construction of top-soil and sand-clay roads. Samples of materials from the two kinds of roads, the best and the worst, and ; the qualities in them responsible for road characteristics win be noted; third, to experiment with ' roads of this character with a view j to improving the methods of con struction and of maintenance. I R. T. Brown and L. M. Weisiger, j engineers of the state highway de S partment, will cooperate with the j federal engineer in this investi gation. ? ? ? ? Census of Highway Travel Made _ ? i State Highway Department Tabulating Traffic Over Main Highways Columbia, Sept. 5.?A census of j the travel on the main highways of [ the state is being made by the state j department. The census has been j taken and tabulated for the main i highways of Greenville county, and ; now a similiar count of the travel is being made in Aiken county, on j the Augusta highway. Other high I ways are also to be covered by the traffic counters. The highway department puts its maintenance foremen on the roads with stop-watches, and the j vehicles are counted, on the roads in Greenville the travel was at the rate of approximately one thousand a day, on some roads more than j this. The National highway- out of ; Greenville is the most heavily trav ! eled. The census showed that on August 3 a total of 1,430 vehicles used this road, at Camp Sevier. On August 4 the number was 1. i 589; on the 5th 1,483. At Chick ! Springs the day's toll of vehicles ! for August 12, 13 and 14, was S03, j 963 and 1.180. At Golden Grove for August 19, 20 and 21, the ve j hides for the day numbered 940, 1,210 and 1,183. On the Dixie high | way. at Lupo's store, 5 miles from i the city, the travel on August 15, 10 and 17-totaled 829, 714 and S15. I At Travelers Rest, on the road to Hendersonville, the totals of three re"ent days were 1.764, 1,574 and 1,021. Five miles from Green ville on the Laurens road three j days census of the vehicles showed totals of 1,189, 1.284 and 1.3S0. I The counts were from 5 a. m. and ; midnight. The purpose of the census is to : determine which are the roads ; most in use. with a view to de I termining what kind of road sur ' facing should be used, and which road should be paved first, where ; theie is a choice of roads. Auto-, mobiles outnumber other vehicles, the census shows, about twenty to one. Wife Killer Arrested _ Dr. William A. Hadly Captur ed in Denver Denver. Colo.. Sept.

The federal authorities report con ditions in the coal fields as "quiet" and that the'majority of the troops are to be withdrawn. Governor Morgan is said to be determined to prosecute those re sponsible for the "insurrection against the State"' an^ he is calling for incriminating evidence from any source. Miners are surrendering, and af ter being- disarmed are sent home. -? ? ? The Price of Meat Charleston Housekeepers Are Receiving Benefit of Slump in Wholesale Prices (News and Courier.) That the prices of meats at Charleston have declined consid erably since the peak in the spring of 1920 is reflected in the quota tions of the retail butchers. In some meats the decline has been very marked. Local butchers say that as a matter of margin they are better off, but that people are buying prudently. Several butchers quote loin, round and porterhouse at 22 cents a pound, against 45 cents in the spring of 1920: prime ribs at 20 to 25. against 35; stew meat at 10 against 20; veal- chops at 25, against 40; veal cutlets at 40. against 50 to 55; calf liver at 20. against 30: veal loin at 25, against 40; pork sausage at 25, against 40: head cheese at 20, against 40; fowls at 40, against 50. Picnic hams, retail butchers say, have dropped to 19 to 20 cents a pound and the best bacon to 50 cents in special packages. They say that in the spring of 1920. when the meat prices were at their peak, beef on the hoof brought 14 cents, and that now it is very much lower, and that beef, net, fetched 24 cents in the spring of 1920, against 10 and 12 cents now. They say that some of their customers have commented on the drop that meats have taken, but that some others do not concede the slump. Victim of j Carelessness Fort Motte Man Instantly Killed While Climbing Fence With Shotgun St. Matthews, Sept. 2.?-While at tempting to get a shot at a hawk which had been bothering the chickens around his home, Thomas T. Hane of Fort Motte accident ally i reeived a gun shot wound this af - ternoon which instantly ended his life. Mr. Hane had finished his noon meal and was resting at his home. A member of the family called to him that a hawk which had been giving trouble in the chicken yard was again -making a raid. Mr. Hane took up his auto matic gun and started out in quest j of the hawk. After having search ed for some time he did not find the hawk and evidently decided that he would go over to the home : of W. C. Hane. Jr., only a few j hundred feet away. No one saw him when he at | tempted to cross the board fence, ! but from the position in which he was found, it would indicate that he had mounted the gate to climb over and that the gun had slipped from his hand and fallen on the ground, the explosion being caused by the impact with the ground, j The load took effect in the left side j of the neck, severing the large ar | tery and death being almost in ? staut. When found his arms were j hanging over the top board and his ! feet were in the opening between 'the first and second boards and the I gun was lying on the ground. A ! few moments after the explosion j of the gun was heard one of his j hands happened to be passing and i saw the predicament. W. C Hane j Jr., was at once notified and was ; upon the scene within a few mo j ments but the wounded man had j expired. Parricide in Kershaw I Robert Sharpe Committed to Camden Jail For Murder of ?

This estimate refers ; to whole milk and does not "nclude : that which is consumed in the ! form of ice cream, cheese and butter. The amount is about twice as much as that used in 18 90, I when the per capita consumption I was approximately 22 gallons. The ; dairy specialists point out that the I increase in the use of milk in the i last 3d years is us great as that in the preceding 2S0 years. The present day consumption of ! milk in the United States, they say, ! is equal to about one pint per : day, or as much as two small glass I es. That is not a great amount ! when it is known that it includes not only the milk that is used for ; drinking, but also that used in : cooking. This is a small amount ; compared to the per capita con I sumption in some European coun ' tries. In Sweden and Switzcr ! land, for example nearly 70 gallons are used by each person annually. In relatng the growth of the dairy industry in this country the department specialists say that in pioneer days each family kept its own cow. The denser the popula tion became the more important it was to have a well regulated and an.;.!'- supply of milk. Gradually the number of cows increased and in time a dairy business grew up in various sections. The development of modern methods in the distri bution of rniik. with economic and sanitary handling, has been close ly accompanied by the larger use of this food, they say. Much et' the milk now used in cities comes many miles, and re cently improved methods have made i: possible ;<? ship it for long distances in refrigerator cars. At the National Dairy Show in Chi cago in L919, milk shipped from j the Pacific coast took first prize in the market-milk competition wirb the highest score ever ^iven to milk in recent y< ars. cities have always used a smaller amount of milk in proportion to; the number of poopl ? than general farminp: eoinTritiiiitios. There are. however, many agricultural and non-agrieult ural rural districts where cows an- not kept and v. h< re niod? rn methods of mills dis tribution are n<>; equal t<> inosi cities. The people in such places have to dc," ml on canned milk of various kinds and this, tie- dairy men say, is an exceedingly valu able ne ans of supplying v need which or 3a years ago could net have been supplied a: all. - G66 CiU'CS Biliousness. / I I School For Athletes Proposal That a Three-Year Course Be Established at University Columbia.

Cotton Freight Rates Railroads Protest Against Re cent Revision of Short Haul Tariff Columbia, Sept. 2.?The recently \ revised freight rates on cotton have j brought protests from the rail- j roads, and the South Carolina Rail road Commission has set next Tuesday as the date for arguments ' by the roads in favor of a rehearing in the case. If the commission re- j opens the case, then a date for a new hearing will be set. at which i time arguments against the com- , mission's recent order will be beard. The raliroads recently submitted a, new cotton rate schedule, which j would have effected a decrease for hauls up to 130 miles, but an In- ' crease for distances longer than 130 i miles. The railroad commission ordered effective August 2S the rares on hauls under 130 miles, but ' refused the new rates for hauls of j more than 130 miles. The railroads ; an- now pretesting that ISO miles; is more than an average short haul; I that the usual short haul in South I Carolina, recognized officially, :s about seventy-five miles, and that there should be no reductions for distances beyond what is consider ed a short haul, the recent order having been promulgated in an effort to bring about a reduction i r>f short-haul rates, about which I there has been loud protest in re- I cent months. ? ? ? J League of Women Voters The first fall meeting of the i League of Women Voters will be; held on Monday. September 12th in the basement of the Carnegie Library at G o'clock, p. m. The i program committee is at work on an interesting program for this, meeting, the details of which will be announced later. It is hoped that after the long vacation the j members will return to work with renewed interest and zeal. At the meeting in May it was agreed that each member of the League should make a point of bringing with her I to the meetings at least one other; woman. If we will do this the membership as well as the atten-! dance will be greatly increased, here is nothing in either the plat- I form or the program of the League that every Christian woman would not heartily endorse. It may be that you do not want the suffrage or that you did not care about it one way or the other, but now that it has been given to you, it is just as much your duty to use the priv- ! ilege intelligently and conscien tiously as it is your duty to do your share of your church work or your socal work. If you wll attend the j meetings of the League and hear the subjects of vital interest to your town and state discussed, you'll be ? able to meet the issues as they arise with inteligencc and conviction The whole county is at present in such a state of unrest and depression ' that any political demagogue who promised cheap clap trap remedies would assuredly win the vote of the illiterate population of the state. If che women of voting age will I register and tise their privilege of suffrage it might be that just that j force would be the straw that would save the state from being plunged into a state of chaos by j cheap political bunkum.

Railroads Given Extensa Order to Fill Trestles Ex tended Until December 1923 Columbia, Sept. 3?Ten years ago thr- South Carolina railroad commission passed its famous or der requiring all railroads opera ting in the state "as a matter of safety to the traveling public" to fill in with dirt or other substantial material all trestles along their lines or to replace the more tem porary structures with substantial steel bridges, Under the terms of the order, which \ as issued March 1. 1911 by O. McD. Hampton, act ing chairman, the railroad com panies were given six years in which to comply with the order. The six years passed and Janu ary 15. 1519 the commission found that the orders had not been com plied with, and that "owing to ex tenuating circumstances" the work could not have been completed within the time specified. So a supplementary order was passed extending the time for the com pletion of this work until Decem ber 31, H'20. And now this extended time lim it has expired and the work plan ned "as a matter of safety to the traveling public" remains yet to be done and again the "extenuating circumstances" intervene to keep the matter out of courts. The se cond supplementary order was is* sued and promulgated by the com mission this week, further extend ing the time limit until December 31, 1923, the roads being given 12 years and ten months to complete the work which under the original order was to have been done in six year.?.
