Sept. 23.?The South Carolina Railroad Commission was yesterday afternoon relieved of its duties as fuel distributors for the state, when orders were received from the Interstate Commerce Commission instructing the state commission to discontinue the ap proving of .coal*orders. The interstate commission has discontinued the classification of fuel orders for priority shipments* because of the improventent in? the fuel situation, and the state com mission's work as fuel commission ceases. Kver since the fuel situation be came acute, the state commission has been empowered to handle the coal situation, as state fuel commission. .MI orders for coal have passed through the commis sion's office and there they have beeri classified, according to the interstate commission's grouping of orders, and those orders which were considered necessary were approved, according to the federal regulations. The sweet potato crop, one of the largest ever grown in Sumter coun ty, is about ready for harvest, and ther** is no curing and stonge warehouse in Sumter to care for i(. Last spring there was a lot of talk of building a curing house, but it ended in talk. RAILROADS FACE CAR SHORTAGE i - ? 1 j Supply of . Surplus Freight Cars Exhausted For First Time Since Noyember -New York, Sept. 24,?The rail roads have exhausted their surplus cars for the first time since No vember. 1320, owing to increased industrial activity throughout the country, the Association of Railway ? Executives announced today The increase in the "movement of crops, fuel and ?ther commod ities always brings- a heavier de mand for freight cars in the fall, ? statement said, so that the present; I.Situation is considered seasonable j land normal. j "On September 8 there were 43, 186 surplus freight cars. 2,287 few er than on August 31," the state ment said. "At the same time there were requests from shippers for 67,899 cars, which .could not be; complied with just at that time, j This was 9,229 cars more than on August 31. "Surplus coal cars numbered 34,- i 685 on September 8, a reduction of j 19,88^: since August 31, while un-j filled orders for cars on that date i totalled 18.554 cars. "While the action ? of surplus j freight cars began in November,! 1926, the peak was not reached un- 1 til April 8, 1921, when there werel ,507,427 .cars. Since there has been j a steady decrease." j The demand upon the carriers to j haul bumper crops combined with j the emergency movement of coal, j has .centered attention also on the j depleted motive power equipment of the roads, which has-, been af fected by the shopmen's strike. The association's last report placed the number of locomotives unfit for service at more than 30 per centt in August; since then a large number of locomotives have been retired for repairs, some railroad officials admitted today, estimating that approximately one-half of the road's motive power is unavailable for use. The need for more locomotives to move the congestion of freight on nearly every railroad is giving greater concern to railroad offi cials, it was said, than the possibil ity of a car shortage. With more motive power avail able officials said they could eas ily secure a turn over of freight and coal cars that would tend to nulify the car shortage, or at least prevent it from assuming large [ proportions.- , STATE SCHOOL FUNDS ALLOTTED i ii ?

" - - - - BAPTIST CHURCH ROW IN GAFFNEY Congregation and Dr. Hickson FaH to Agree j : Gaffney.' Sept. 22.?-Another in- f \ teresting chapter has been added in J j the controversy between for. F. j C. Hickson and the members of j I Skull Shoals Baptist church. Dr. j Hickson was requested more than j one week ago by deacons of the | ! church to tender his resignation as j j pastor, following a statement pub- j I fished over his signature to the effect that he was supporting Coic tl. Elease for governor. Now comes the doctor in a communication to a Gaffney newspaper, and states ! that the deacons of Skull Shoals church exceeded their authority in j demanding his resignation, in that j i only the entire congregation of a ; Baptist church has that power, and ! he asserts that he will continue to j occupy the pulpit at .Skull Shoals. When advised of Dr. Hicksoii's statement, deacons of Skull Shoals church are quoted as saying tha'i if Dr. Hickson comes to that church again to preach he will probably address empty pews. They further state that, while heretofore ser vices have been conducted at Skull j Shoals on the fourth Sunday in the month, they have now changed the i date to the third Sunday, and ?hat j they have opened negotiations with) another pastor to succeed Dr. Hick- j son.
