IS.?Dissatisfac tion with the Tolbert leadership in [the Repubhcan party in South ! Carolina took shape at a county convention of Republicans in Co lumbia Saturday, and is to be pass ed up to the state Republican con vention to be. held in Columbia Tuesday of this week.

He is elected for four years. Two years after his elec tion he Is ehosen by the delegation to the national convention as nat ional committeemen, and this holds of four years. The two four-year offices overlap each other in du ration, so that, according to Haw kins,, it means an almost perpet ual job for one mart. The resolu tion, if adopted, will change the rules, so that the two elections will come the same year. Hawkins states that there is a desire for the change on the part of many Re publicans and he believes it will "be adopted.

The excessive rains from early spring to middle of August show! very damaging effect on produc tion of both cotton and corn, and the dry weather at present is show- j ing considerable injury'to late corn and extent of which will not be known until the next report.

RACE RIOT IN NEW YORK Six in Hospital as Result of! . Free For All Street Fight Xew York, Sept. 17.?Bricks, razors, clubs and fists were the weapons that sent six victims to hospitals and a score of others, less seriously injured, to physicians for treatment early today as the result of a race riot between whites and j blacks that grew out of the inva sion by negroes of a neighborhood I tenanted by white families.

Early today a party of white men is alleged to have in vaded a hall where a celebration of negroes was in progress. They were ejected, later they dragged two negresses and their male es corts from a taxicab and set upon them. This is said to have precipitated i general battle, whites and blacks flocking to the melee from all di rections. Razors, knives and clubs augmented fists, while adherents of both factions stood on nearby tene ment roofs and hurled into the swirling mass, bricks torn from chimneys.

Sept 14 (By the. Asso ciated Press).?The government today speeded""up its case against! the striking rail crafts irr an- ef-'S fort to complete the evidence in j support of Attorney General j Daugherty's injunction bill by j Saturday neon. While two assistant attorneys! general arid Blackburn Easterline, assistant to the solicitor general,] worked in. relays reading addition al affidavits of violence during the progress of the strike, the defense announced it would seek to show the railroad executives were in] a conspiracy to force a strike in an I effort to wreck the unions. "The government has sought to show presumption of a conspiracy among the shopmen to carry out acts of violence," attorneys for the j defense said. "We will show a \ strong presumption that certain I rail executives were in conspiracy] to destroy the unions. "We will show they first sought1 to bring on a strike and then did everything in their power to pre vent peace." Evidence which the unions could | not produce heretofore because' it might hurt their peace negotiations with Daniel Winard and other rail presidents can now be brought for ward, it was said. If the government completes its case by Saturday noon four days will be left for the defense and for final arguments, before the expir ation of the present restraining or-*j der which is Thursday night. Per mission was unofficially given the unions today to stage tag days" in Chicago and other cities to raise funds for the -relief of families of Strikers. Donald R. Richberg and Prank Mulholland, attorneys for B. M. Jewell and John Scott, president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of the railway em ployees department, American Federation of Labor, raised the question of whether tag day cam paigns would violate the restrain ing order. Judge James H. Wilk erson said he knew nothing in the order which would prevent tag fund campaigns and the govern ment's attorneys assured the de fense attorneys they had the gov ernment's permission to go ahead TOBACCO REPORT FOR AUGUST Columbia, Sept. 14?The tobcfe co report of the state department of Agriculture, made public today, shows that the average price per pound-for the'staple for-the month of August was 21.05 cents, compar ed with 12.10 cents for the same period last year. There was a con siderable falling off in sales, the number of pounds disposed of being 17,416,025. comapred with 34,120, S-SO during August 1921, but the aggregate amount received was al most as much as last year, when the sales in August totaled $4,131, lfr6.44, and this year they totaled $3,665,560. Sixteen markets and warehouses were reported. Only during the four years from 1917 to 1920 inclusive, has the price for tobacco been larger.* The price being received for the staple is largely attributed to the Cooperative Marketing Assocaition, which has handled most of the South Carolina crop this year. That is one of the reasons, likewise, why the sales for the month are small er than last year, or for any year since 1916; the association is "not dumping the leaf on the market at one time, but is holding it for fair prices." Wouldn't it be great if you could send dishes to the laundry arid the house to the cleaner?
