Governor Trinkle, of Virginia, declares that he is in favor of the construction of a state system of ^Jiighways, but opposes a property ? tax to pay -the interest on the bonds, needed for such construction.

You can lay a. heavy franchise tax, ^and claim that the money is com ing-out .of the. pockets, of corpora tions; but the; corporations simply eharge that tax up, to , the cost of | doing ?business, in this state, and proceed, to collect it?and a good di^al more?out bf their- custom ers, - That, franchise ? tax is added to- rents jn towns and to "the price of:^verythmg_-the farmer buys in tJJfe country.

It was pointed out that little could be gained by going to the grand jury with the Gibson story because the account stated that the woman she saw on the murder scene did not commit the murder. James Mills, husband of the slain singer, commenting on Mrs. Hall's statement in her interview, declared he . is not vindictive or prejudiced either, but wants thet murderer punished. He believes the woman killed the couple and cut his wife's throat in spite be cause of her beautiful singing. ' COLUMBIA GAS RATE CASE Hearing to Be Held by the State Railroad Commission ~ " - Columbia, Oct. 31.?Several im portant hearings are to be held by the South Carolina railroad com-, mission this week, including -what will likely be the most important of all, the gas and electric rate in Columbia. The Columbia case will be callea Thursday. The Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric Co., has filed pe tition for an increase in its gas and electric rates, the increase amount- j ing to about seventeen per cent of the present rates, it is estimated. On "Wednesday ^ae' rail body will have two hearings, one on a petition from the town of Seneca to require the Southern Railroad to construct an underpass there for its < traffic. The town of- Seneca is di vided by the railroad and streets cross the tracks dn grade cross ings. It is expected that a num- | ber of Seneca citizens w*H appear before tHe commission in be half of the-' petition. ^ ' Another hearing to be held by the commission Wednesday is on: the question ' of. freight rates on ice in South Carolina. ? On Tuesday the commission will have a hearing on a question of two overhead* bridges oh the Seaboard Air Line between Middendorf and McBee. - The -road- is crooked and crosses the rails 'twice in this short distance: The -highway authori ties contend that the road with thec?rves i serves;. more people.! The."railroad contends that the; road should be straightened, there-! by ehminating both crossings. j The Columbia gas and electric rate hearing will likely attract con- ! siderable attention. The commis- ! sion has received no more infbfc-l mation as to the presentation to be made, other than the petition j of the company. Thisv is the first j case of the kind to come before! the railroad commission since that i body took over the work of the \ former public service commission. An audit of the company was made for the former commission and this will probably serve as the basis for the commission's work on the pres ent case. The Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric Co., contends that the rates in effect in Columbia are low er than^ih practically all other cit ies of the south and that higher rates are imperative in order for: the company to make a proper re turn from the business.

DECLINE IN COTTON CROP Favorable Weather Fails to 1 Check Deterioration?Close Picking is Noted Xev/ York, Oct. 31.?Regarding the cotton crop the Journal of Commerce will have the following to say in its issue of tomorrow: Notwithstanding the favorable weather that has prevailed over the greater part of the cotton belt. during October, further slight de terioration has taken place. Final reports of -nearly 3.500 competent correspondents of this journal, un der an average date of October 24, indicate a decline in percentage conditions of 0.8 per cent from the condition figure of 52.5 per cent es timated a month ago.- Last yearl there was a loss of 1.4 per cent from a condition of 44.7 per cent, while in 1920 a drop of no less than! 8.7 per cent was shown. It should however, be noted that with the exception of the unusually poor showing made a year ago, and a condition of 48.1 per cent in 191S, the present estimate is the lowest for any October since 1903. For the past ten years the average, de terioration has been 3.4 per cent. South Carolina was the heaviest loser, showing a decline of 3 per j cent. Georgia is a close second, with a drop of 2 per cent, while North. Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama lost each 2 per cent. In Texas percentage condition was maintained, while "Missouri gained 2.3 per cent and Tennessee 1.6 per cent. Smaller increases have also been made in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Florida. This, when con trasted with the report of October last year", at which time -indi vidual declines were numerous and ! heavy. ' ' ?' Probably the most noteworthy feature of the return is their sim ilarity* with ihose of .a- year ago. lit will be recalled that at that ' time a further long period of ex cessive rain, followed by drouth, fine weather set in, which greatly aided farmers in their picking op erations and served to some ex tent to counteract the unfortunate conditions prevailing earlier in the season. This year a like state of j affairs i3 revealed, and cotton, af ter7 making, a favorable start, suf fered a severe setback as a.result of excessive rainfall." and later on of prolonged drouths. ; The ' redeeming element in the cotton situation has again been the j almost ideal weather conditions prevailing- during the. picking sea j son. I" ' Although the improvement [came too late to materially affect ! production; it has undoubtedly done j much-. to. ^increase. the. yield :by ai Ilowing, rapid and, close .picking. ^Farmers' everywhere, ! encouraged i by the active demand and : high I prices- obtainable for the-staple and cheapness, and availability of labor, are said to .haye taken, in even the I poorest fields, .and the results in numerous - Instancies ' are -- proving better than expected. Furthermore, the-hnt is of unusuaHy^?ne qual ity^ insuring, a substantuil .propor tion of cotton of the higher grades. At the present writing very little low-grade cotton has /been picked, except on - the bottoms, where, the ''excessive moisture and weveil rav {-ages were heaviest. II For the whole belt, picking when | [this survey was undertaken, was ?estimated at 92 per cent completed, thus establishing another new high record and comparing with. 91 per Cent last year?at that time the highest for any year since 1915? and 69 per cent in 1920. As ? mat ter of fact, picking is completed in many parts of Alabama, Missis- ! sippi and Texas, and ginning is be ing pushed at. an equally rapid rate. Farmers in nearly all parts of the belt are rep?rtedas. marketing cotton as fast as ginned. In the j opinion of, most observers this is ; due not only to the * favorable weather and cheapness and reason jableness of labor,: but td the add ed- incentive of an urgent demand I_?

In some instances, chief among tenant farmers, banks are said to be press ing for repaying of cotton loans, made earlier in the season. Ex cept at points where the Coopera tive Growers' Associations have been active, very little cotton is being held back. In South Carolina. Georgia and parts of Mississippi, from 10 to 25 j per cent is held for higher prices. At other points, however, with very few exceptions, planters are: disposing of their crop's freely, j There is estimated that more than j 75 per cent of the crop gathered [ thus far has already been disposed j of.
