Advises To Go Stow Columbia, Sept. 21.?Cotton at ?35 or 40 cents a pound before an other year is "'entirely within the bounds of reason," according to J. Clifton Rivers, warehouse commis sioner, in a statement issued yes terday^ Mr. Rivers urges to farmers to go slow in offering their cotton for ?sale as he expects a gain of from $25 to $50 a bale within a few weeks. ' . ;In discussing: the general situa tion, Mr. Rivers made the follow ing statement :~ "Knowing that it is not good policy to advise people concerning the future prices of cotton,* I have refrained so far this year from ap pearing* in the -public prints, but conditions have forced themselves* upon us, and in the face of a mar ket steady and strong, with the sale" of Texas cotton at the-rate of -?0,t)O0 bales per day, together with an industrial ?? situation, the like of Tvhich at marketing time the cotton belt has never experi enced, it is time/for somebody to sit up and take notice: \ "Cotton with all this tirade of selling and violent bearish cir* cumstauces has remained steady at a price around 22 cents per pound; therefore, those who have studied the situation are convinced that as soon as the supply begins to diminish and.the industrial sit uation has a prospect' of settling, a great deal higher prices than at present will be realized for spot cotton. "It, therefore, behooves every farmer who has a.bale of cotton to go slow in offering it for sale, as a few weeks, in the opinion of the writer, will show a gain of $25 to $50 per bale in the amount rea lized from such sale. Store your cotton in a state warehouse-and get a receipt issued by the state and relieve yourselves of your liabili ties and watch your product in crease in value shortly by leaps and bounds, at ? minimum cost. It ft entirely within the bounds of rea son to predict that cotton will bring 35 to 40 cents per pound be fore another year, and this in crease in value should be turned into the hands of the farmers rath er than into the hands of the cot ton speculators. Sell just as lit t3e cotton at present prices as you possibly can and store and hold for a few weeks and realize the profit, which in my" opinion * and in the opinion of dthers who have studied the situation; will be a'great increase over the present price." ENTOMBED MINERS AEE ALL DEAD Jackson, Cai, Sept. IS.?All fo* ty-seven of the miners entombed in the Argonaut mine August 27, are dead, .it was announced offi cially shortly before 9 o'clock to night. A note found on one of the bodies indicated that all the men had died within five hours of the beginning of the fire August 27 officials said. ' x All the miners were found be hind the second* of two bulkheads they had built in a cross-cut when ! 4,350 feet down in the mine. By ron O. Pickard, chief of the fed- j eral bureau of mines for this dis- J trict, was the first nfan to go be- j hind the bulkhead and discovered ! the bodies. ' Pickard, on an earlier" explora- j tion behind the bulkhead, had counted forty-two bodies and ex pressed the belief then that there were others there. The note found read as fbl- j lows: "3 a. m., gas had." j. The same, note bore a scrawled figure "4" apparently indicating the same man had attempted to leave word for those who might come after, of the condition of the mine at that hur. Mine officials declared that the condition of the cross-cut behind the bulkhead was such that -life could no* have been sustained there by the entombed men for more than five hours. The bodies were piled one on top of another and decomposition had progressed so far that identi fication would be impossible, Pick ard reported. Jackson.

CONGRESS j PREPARING TO ADJOURN House Reaches Deci sion to Dissolve on Friday?Up to Sen ate Washington. Sept. 20.?A resolu tion calling for sine die adjourn ment at 2 p. m. Friday was adopt ed by the house today by an over whelming vote and the measure was sent, to the senate which is expected to adopt it, if it is evident it can complete its business by that time. Otherwise the senate will amend the resolution to provide for a later adjournment. The house practically disposed of its pressing business with its ac tion on. the soldiers' bonus, but members were urged by Represen tative Mondell of Wyoming. Re publican leader, to remain on the job for possible action on a re quest from the president for a spe cial appropriation for relief of American; refugees in the Xear East. The senate, however, has before it for disposition the Liber ian loan, a deficiency appropriation bill and other matters which may or Jnay not be given final consider ation. Meanwhile the question of calling congress in special session about November 15 to take up the administration -ship subsidy bill, amendments to the transportation act and certain appropriation bills was considered at ? conference to day between President Harding and Speaker Gillette of the house, Sen ator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican - senate leader, and Representative Mendel, the Repub lican house leader. The congres sional leaders were said to favor such a step and President Harding has indicated that it was under consideration. In the closing moments of the house session today Mr. Mondell sought unanimous consent for two minutes in which to tell of the achievements of this congress and Representative Garrett of Tennes see, Democratic leader, asked if the story could not be told in one min ute. "The ^ congress has, transacted more important business during the present session than was ever transacted by any congress in American history," said Mr. Mon dell, after which he asked the privilege of'extending his: remarks. "I suggest that the gentleman from Wyoming be given an hour in which to tell what congress has failed to do." said Representative London (Socialist) of New York. J Mr. Garrett obtained permission to extend his remarks on "the non work of congress," announcing that he might include some obser vations on the subject by the sec retary of war and others. the cotton marketing association ' Columbia, Sept. 21?The largest delivery of old colon yet made to the South" Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association was made yesterday by Josh Kirven, of Darl ington, who turned over 1200 bales of old long staple cotton to the association. Delivery Of \ this cot ton under the terms of the con tract was optional, but Mr. Kirven decicTed that he would market the cotton through the association. Officials of the association said today that old cotton was pouring in from every section of the state. Members of the organization are delighted with the advances which they are receiving, according to let ters 'which are being received at headquarters. The association is now making an initial advance of 12 cents a pound on short staple, old and new cotton, and IS cents a pound on long staple, old and new. The first lire to occur in asso ciation cotton was in Lee county Monday afternoon, when some cot ton belonging to L. D. Welch, of j Elliott, was burned en route from the gin to the depot.

Women at the Polls - CNews and Courier) In Clarendon County, where 160 women were enrolled at the Wood row Wilson box, the vote in the second primary last Tuesday stood: Blease 19, McLeod 107. In the city of Sumter, where there was an en rollment of 1,150 men and 529 wo jmen, a total of 1679?the vote cast [last Tuesday totaled 1.498, all but 174 votes being cast, the vote stand ing: Blease 223, McLeod 1,275. It would be very difficult, prob jably impossible, to determine with any accuracy just how many wo men voted in the second prlmary on Tuesday. Any estimate as to how they voted would he guesswork .pure and simple. Never theless we-think'that it can be as serted with conviction that in this ejection the influence of the wo man vote.was decidely wholesome. Ih may be credited with having giv en us one of the quietest campaigns South Carolina has ever had, more free of mudslinging than any other campaign of like importance and fundamental interest. The pres ence of the women at the polls was beneficial at many places also. There is no possible question that the women of South Carolina, the great majority Of them, not only did not want the vote, but were opposed to having it trust upon them. This done, however, a great many of them this summer took their new responsibilities very se riously and patriotically, and this ! in spite of the bad example set i them by some of their sex who, af Iter leading.in the.agitation for the j vote, then ran away, deserting their I duty for the sake of their ease and j comfort and pleasure. ? ? . .-_ The brick work of the cream !ery building being erected by the !

Sept. 3 9,?Responsibil ity for the raHroad shop crafts strike was Charged to the Asso ciation of Railroad Executives by B. M. Jewell, head of the strikers in .answering Attorney General Daugherty's injunction bill today. He did not appear in person but his attorneys read Into the record a 28-page affidavit in which Mr. Jewell recited what he considers" the causes of the strike,"detailed! the history of various unsuccess ful peace conferences and declar ed the union leaders had never j countenanced violence. ' He said that, since August 2, when the strikers accepted Presi dent Karding's second peace pro posal the railway executives have.I maintained a lockout. "To all intents and purposes' Donald R. Richberg, attorney forj the defense said', interrupting the,j reading of the affidavit, "the strike ended August 2, when-the men told the president they accepted his] plan of settlement. After that it J was a lockout." Mr. Jewell said he had .been ad vised by counsel that the railroads i had no legal right under the rules j of the United States Railroad Labor Board to deny bis men their former., seniority rights when they resume! work. The defense attorneys preceded the Jewell affidavit with the in troduction of 89 injunctions ob tained by various railroads "against strikers oh their lines. They con tended that these local .injunctions gave sufficient guarantee against violence and that a nation-wide re straining order' was unnecessary. , Assistant Attorney General Crime objected that the government had the right to ask injunctions to pre vent the destruction of interstate commerce and interruption in de livery of the mails. The causes leading up to. the strike as the strikers see them date back to 1920 according to the Jewell affidavit.. At that time the labor committee of the Railway Executives Association, headed by President Gray, of the Union Pa cific adopted, a report favoring steps to organize regional - adjust ment boards as provided by the Transportation act. W. W. Atter bury, vice president of the Penn sylvania, presented a minority re port" ih opposition. The majority report was rejected by the association and Mr. Atter I bury was named to succeed Mr* Gray chairman, of the labor committee. This, he said, was re I garded by the employees as the be ginning of a campaign, to destroy j the effectiveness of the employes j organization's and the United States ! Railroad Labor Board, . On January 31. 1921, the affidavit continues, Mr. Atterbury made a peremptory demand before the la bor hoards Sot? abrp^at'qn of fthe national agreements made during jthe war.. The agreements were (abrogated and disputed rules re ferred back to the principals; when they were unable to agree the board again heard the case and promulgated new rules to which the shopmen objected. / During the same period Mr. Jew j ell said the practice of letting cori ! tract's for shop work to outside J contractors, and the election of an i employes committee on the Penn sylvania were decided by the board ! in favor of the employes hut he jsaid the employers disregarded the [decision. Mr. Jewell denied that ] refusal of the shoomen to accept ; a wage cut prompted the walkout July 1. He said the wage reduc ! tion had not been passed on by the board when the strike vote was ordered but was added to the strike ballots, he said, after the conven tion adjourned. The unions involved, the affida vit continues, had never counte nanced unlawful acts, and their strike instructions warned members that violence would not he sup ported.
