Lever jfcad been considered by many as a possible candidate for the gov ernorship, but ' his definite an nouncement of1, other plans ' is tftought by many to leave the way. open for announcement by some G*her good man. 1 It is said that several good men' -in the state are in a receptive mood, and will prob . ably put their h?ts in the ring, now that the - atmosphere has cleared up, so fai* as Mr. Lever's position is concerned. It is expect -td that the next: few weeks will bring developments.in the political situation. To many the -recent discussion. of the r^ossibllity.. rof Hon. John Gary Evans,, of ? Spartanburg, as candidate for governor, is taken to mean that hen will be in the race. ' Mr. Evaiss has been in Co lumbia several- ; times lately, and during the recent rlcgislative session he was seen,several times on the floors of the .a^?embly. This is taken as pretty'good sign that a political bee is buzzing in his bon . net. Numerous names are mentioned in connection JWith the race for governor, including those of Mr. Evans.

W. C. A. Convention Hot Springs, Ark.. April 21.? The horizon of an intellig?nt girl of IS today is wider than that of the savant of 1800, Mrs. Robert C. Speer of New York City, presi dent of the national board of the Young Women's Christian Associa | tion, said in presenting the report ! of the board to the national con vention of the association here to day. "Notior? of girls derived from Louisa M. Alcott are out of date," she said. "Girls are beset with complex interests; a Pandora's box of new emotions and experiences fills the air with thrills and stings for them. The sense of adventure, of 'something lost beyond the ranges, something calling for us, sum mons the mout of the old highroad of custom. Unless.they are led aright there may be weary years of wanderings in the wilderness. -There could be no greater chal lenge. We are interpreters of life for young women. The negative; of Sinai no longer has power with a world where curiosity has dis placed fear. Our place is not with the tables of stone, but with the followers of the Master who sat on a hillock of Galilee and told the listening crowd where the satis factions of life are to be found. "It was voted to adopt the social ideals of the churches , to use our resources in preparing women for responsible citizenship, and after studying social and economic con ditions affecting women to see how these conditions could be helped by legislation, pledging ourselves to work. for. such legislation as might promote the welfare of young women. ? ? . "Our much criticized stand for social ideals has borne widespread fruit and has brought the indorse ment of practical men and women as no -.other action we ever took. Contrary to widespread impression, it did not bring us .financial loss. It has influenced popular opinion, and one^iinds in newspapers today, as commonplaces, statements that would have been regarded as dan gerous three years ago. Ideas that had their germ in the social creed are -now integral parts of the re ports of merchants' associations and state chamber of commerce. ? "Science now reinforces what common sense has always said, that where the girls lead, the boys will follow, and the race in turn will grow. It was this. common place of present-day thinking that made the governmental authorities turn 1917 to the Young .Women's Christian Association as a woman's organization that could be entrust ed with snecal responsibilities. The nation put millions into our hands, j not primarily to help the girls, but that the girls might not hinder the boys in their task. With 1919, the welfare of young women died out of the heart of the average American, but .abated zeal did not mean decreased need. Girls did not go back to the accustomed life at home. "In addition to the fact that it has grown up since 1914, in years when older men and women were preoccupied with attempt to sal vage civilization, this generation is the first to feel the impact of many new forces in the world's life. The camera and the illustrated pa per have brought the world to the j girl's door. The morning, paper brings her the world's politics and scandal. The movie, with its crude lights and lines, tends to destroy the fine edge of imagination, or would if God had not made resili ence one of the attributes of youth. Modern science pours' into the lap of young people g~eat stores of (treasure, along with the alloy; why {should they not want to try every (thing, explore all the avenues of ! life?" ORANGEBURG SUIT SETTLED Orangeburg, April 20.?The su preme court has just handed down a decision in the case of William V. Zeigler, a taxpayer, against W. B. Thompson and the other members of the board of trustees of the city schools. In this case the plaintiff sought to enjoin the trustees from issuing and selling $30,000 j of school bonds to erect school build ings. The case was a friendly suit and intended to test and settle the question as to whether a school j district could issue and sell school bonds upon the authority of an act of the legislature without first sub mitting the question to the voters in an election. Some doubted this and th<> bond hou:-e would not buy the bonds until the question was settled. Judge Bowman held the bonds valid without submitting same to the people. The supreme court has sustained Judge Bow man. The trustees will now sell the bonds and proceed to erect the school building for the colored people. Messrs. Wolfe & Berry represented the plaintiff. while Julian S. Wolfe, Esq., appeared for the school trustees in the matter. There are great possibilities in a crop that can be planted in Feb ruary and turned into money be fore May 1st. This is what farm ers who planted spinach for the canning factory are now doing. It has been demonstrated that spin ach can be grown as a commercial crop. The question of profit is en tirely one of selection of suitable land and proper fertilization and cultivation. This season's spinach ^towing has been an experiment and some farmer-; will probably not secure a profitable yield, buj the experience gained should enable every farmer who plants spinach next year to obtain a profit. Perhaps the woman with sharp eyes has a husband who needs look ing after. CLEMS0N BOARD OF j VISITORS One Representative Chosen From Each of Seven Con gressional Districts Clemson College-, April 20.?Ev ery year the board of trustees se lects a representative man from leach of the seven concessional dis tricts to serve the college as a board of visitors who shall visit the institution, examine into every de tail of the work of the college, and then make a report to the trustees, with criticisms, comments and recommendaiions. Excellent men are always selected for this important work.

CLEMSON FURNISHES GRADERS Four Special Agents Assigned to This Section of State The following letter from Dr. W. W. Long, director of the extension service of Clemson College to Mr. R. A. Bradham will be of interest to farmers who are growing truck for market: Mr. R. A. Bradham. Sumter, S. C. Dear Mr. Bradham: I am just arranging to put on four addition* ai men to assist . the. farmers in Sumter, Clarendon, Lee, Williams burg, and other counties in the lower part of the state who have ventured into truck growing. These men will have charge of grading, standardizing and packing of truck. Your chief problem. now that you have signed with the American Fruit Growers Organization is to get your truck in marketable shape, and this will be the work of these men. I think at advisable that we hold a conference with you in ref erence to establishing packing sheds or making the necessary ar rangements for collecting the pro ducts of the farmers at central points in order that it might be graded and packed. Very truly yours, W. W. LONG, Director. THE STATE FAIR Committee Appointed to Have Charge of Finances of Fair j Columbia, April 20.?Appoint ment of a finance committee com posed of R. M.. Cooper.

La j Nation's Rome correspondent, in a dispatch to his paper today, says he hax learned from trustworthy sources. News of its signing, he says, leaked out in conference circles [ through the indiscretion of Italian j Communists to whom the Russian delegates to the economic confer ence divulged it. Thereupon the Germans, in order to avoid suspicion of a disloyal at titude, decided it was best to com municate, the treaty officially. The correspondent names the Communist deputies, Graviadei and Bombaeci, as among those to whom the treaty was confided. ? ? ? ? SAFEGUARD THE SOUTHERN PORTS Wasbi ngt orf A p r i 1 21.?- Modifica tion of the administration mer-1 chant marine bill so that it would J specifically safeguard the interests of the smaller ports and shipping i companies was advocated at to-j I day's session of the joint congres sional hearings on the measure by, j Matthew Haie of Charleston. S. C,' j president o f the South Atlantic States' association. Insisting upon the adoption of I (an amendment which would re-j I quire the perpetuation for five | (years, by either the Shipping Board j or provate companies of trade j j routes recently established from j 'South Atlantic to Gulf ports, Mr. j J Hah- declared that unless such a j j provision was added to the bill j business men of the South and j shippers of the Middle West who [?export their products through j Southern ports in preference to a "few congested'' North Atlantic; ! ports would swing away from "condidtional" support, of the ad- j [ministration program to a position! i of ?'effective" opposition, j Another witness before the sen- j ate commerce and house merchant ( f marine committees today was j Theodore Bren, manager of the j Mississippi Warrior Barge Line, j 'who urged congress to clear up the "conflict In authority" between J the Interstate Commerce Commis- j si.mi and Shipping Board over in- j J land waterway transportatln. . Mr. ? I Bren said companies operating I barge lines <m interior water routes { would rather be under the juris-j I diction of the Shipping Board than (subject to Interstate Commerce) j Commission control. Declaring the administration's I program should be approached inj j a non-partisan, non-sectional spirit. J Mr. Hah- said the Middle West and 'South are in for an American mer-| [chant marine and "willing to pay i for it," provided they are assured jit will benefit all ports and sec tions of the country. I ! ,,X<> one, however, in either the Middle West or South would be for [a subsidy," he added, "if it was' ! built for the benefit only of a j small group of companies and ; North Atlantic ports." j Chairman .lon.es of the senate ; commerce committee told the wit I ness it was not proposed to repeal the section, of the Shipping Act of 1020 which, directs the Shipping Board to maintain trade routes from various small ports. Mr. Hale dec lared the South and Middle West were "worrying'.' for fear congress would not pass the pending bill at the present session. "We've got to have immediate action." he said. "If we don't build up a merchant marine, we can't continue the industrial de velopmenl of the South." Mr. Hale urged that the bill be perfected to prevent shipping com panies operating from North At lantic ports from "coming down and gaining control" of the services from Southern ports."

FARMERS' EFFORTS WILL BE OPPOSED Roddey Warns Cooperative Marketing Supporters of Struggles Ahead To tho Editor of The State: I have been requested by some members of the cotton association to publicly express my opinion on cooperative marketing together with the rather questionable com pliment, "Wo know you will write what you think regardless." The beauty of the cooperative marketing system to me is its very wonderful possibilities. Of coui.o, it could be wrecked or ruined by mismanagement, (and for the Lord's sake keep politics out of it). Tho success of practically every thing or business, depends on its management, and on this man agement will depend to the very greatest extent the future welt-ire of the south, which includes every man in every line of business. The man assuming the general management, which will probably mean the handling of $300,000,000 or more per annum, will have, to have some head, and the question is have we jrot a man big enough and broad enough for the job? 1 realize that we have over 10,000 who think they are, but time will prove it, and we must, have a start. Somehow I feel that the corner stone is being laid and that we will sooner or later have a monument to be proud of, even if we did wait a half century to start. The man agement will have every big inter est that has been fixing the prices against it with all its power, money and influence, and will need the full support and cooperation of every man in the organization. Don't, let any one get it in his head that in order tc succeed it doesn't mean a fight, because when any people have had things their own way for 50 years and fixed a price to suit them, they will not surrender easily. I repeat, it is un fortunate to be forced to have to cooperate, but in this day and time if you don't cooperate, "then fix the books." The farmers have stood for more and waited longer than any other class, and if it is to be force, then let it be force to the limit. Rockefeller with his mon ey could put cotton unreasonably high, united big wealthy profes sional operators with the present scheme can put it and keep it at a barely living price, and have had it their way so long that they will re sent losing control. For instance, may I not quote* from a Xew York editorial: ' Certain interests in the north and east express themselves as out of sympathy with the efforts of the American Cotton association to con trol cotton acreage. Some of these objectors frankly state that they want to see the crop as large as possible and the price as low as possible. They declare that to limit production is to commit an eco nomic wrong." I think slavery was abolished in 18G5 and I haven't seen any law not allowing any people to try to have some sense. If every other class of labor oi line of business has to pull a load uphill, and they can't pull it up, unless they pull together, why should each farmer assume that he alone can pull his load? He has been spraining his back try ing it a long time and nobody else in this day and time is doing much extra pulling, if two of us can pul] a load together, and neither one ot us can pull it separately, rather than pull together, shall we just stand still and rot? Is that stub bornness, ignorance or meanness*.1 I would like to see adopted as the motto of this association?its watchword: "Control your sur plus." I would like to see every farmer and his children in the schools, taught the necessity of con trolling the surplus, for that, with all the schemes against you. is youi winning- point. If you can't con trol it, you can't really win. Twen ty-five years ago when 1 tried tc get the farmers to combine, and out of every four hales eacr farmer produced, turn over ont bale to an association to be mar keted, thus controlling the sur plus, they called it a "gigantic trust." and am afraid that wher they can't fix the price as ifiey have always done, they will try tc fight you in Washington on that ground. When the producers real ize that thi? surplus must be con trolled, and that it is more profi table to plant less, not over pro duce, and when they are showr that this surplus is getting beyond control of the association, then 1 believe they will know enough t< regulate their acreage according ly Xo particular state can win oul (nor could a part of any organiza tion, one working in one direction and the other in another) but the cooperation of all the states, for it the professionals caught you with out -mtrol of the surplus, the} woulv make every effort to put you out of business, and they "know their books." Don't be discourag ed. It is a big undertaking, am you will have ups and downs. I: you can keep your organizatior even together and satisfied, yoi will see the possibilities, and ho come more and more enthusiasts ; just as every other successful cor poration has proved. A mat could write ten books on thi. subject, but all will be brought ou in due time.

SEALED j ^^^^ /\*JM?\ ? /) Guarantee Craze For Radio Outfits Continues No invention of the lust decade hns aroused so much interest as the j radio, which continues to grow and ; .spread until it seems that nearly! j everyone is making inquiries and ! hopes to install a set at some fu- i ture date. Sending stations are) rapidly being established all over i the country and the radio user now has a programme to choose from to suit every taste and whim. Just recently Clemson College has completed plans for a sending sta- j tion at that point which when; j completed will be in touch with the j various county agents who will bei ! supplied with receiving outfits.
