Lever said, 'for 1 have never been
able to see any reason why South
Carolina is not as we'll adapted to
poultry raising as is Missouri or any
of the other great poultry States. We
must prepare in every way possible
for the approach Of the boil weevil
and every source of revenue which
we have built up in the meantime
will enable us all the better to with

HUERTA IN DESPERATE FIX.
NATIONAL IMPOVERISHNfENT
THE CHIEF TROUBLE.
Provisional Government Nav Last
Many Months, But Fall Seems Ger
tain-Many Plans to Get Money.

Mexico City, Dec. 20.-National
imp0verishment and an increasing
organization among scores of rebel
bands have reduced the Provisional
Government to what appears to be a
desperate situation, but conservative
residents OF the Federal Capital pro-
fess to see, in the recent military op-
erations and the continuation of Pro-
visional President Huerta to secure
money, even though in dr.nIets, evil
denoe that the government may not
fall for many months unless some un-
expected turn for the worse occurs.
This was pay day for government
employees, and in almost all depart
ments there was little delay in meeting
the pay rolls. That the government
may not be able to float another loan
generally is conceded by Mexicans, but
none has lost sight of the fact that
the country is rich and that Gen.
Huerta, as a last resort, would not
hesitate to take money where he
can find it.
Already a drastic measure has been
discussed by the Cabinet-that Of the
confscation Of the property Of all in
dividuals who are known to have ar
rayed themselves against the Huerta
government. The measure has not yet
received the full approval of the min
listers, but if adopted it will prove a
rich resource. Collections that fall
little short of being forced loans have
been made in cities outside the capi-
tai and Provisional President Huerta's
new order for the establishment Of a
militia at the expense Of business men
generally in the various States is in
line with his policy to draw directly
from the country the revenue neces-
sary for carrying on the war.

PROTECTS SEED INDUSTRY.
Levers Bill Requires Government Sta.
tistics Which Would Keep Farmer


tistics Which Would Keep Farmer
Posted.
Washington, Dec. 20.-As previous
ly outlined by the News and Courier,
Representative Asbury F. Lever in
troduced a bill this week requiring
the director Of the census to collect
statistics concerning the quantity OF
cotton seed purchased and delivered
to oil mills, the quantity crushed,
the quantities of the various crude
products, such as oil, meal and lint
ers, obtained, also the quantity Of
these products and Of refined oil pur-
chased by compound lard, butterine
and oleomargarine manufacturers
and the quantity of the various pro-
ducts on hand at given dates.
Mr.. Lever feels that legislation of
this character is necessary because
there has been a great deal Of specula-
ton and manipulation Of the prices Of
cotton seed and it's products. The
prices have been increased and de-
creased without regard to the actual
production, or to the quantities of seed
and oil on hand.
The value of the seed obtained from
the crop for 1912 was estimated at
$12S, 900. 1t is essential that the
Federal government collect statistics
concerning this important product in
the same manner that it collects sta
tistics concerning the quantity of cot
ton ginned, the quantity consumed by
manufacturing establishments, and
quantities on hand. The bill just in
troduced and the Act approved July
%, 1912. cover all of the products Of
the cotton plant which are now of
commercial value. 1t will give the
producer information concerning the
quantities OF cotton seed purchased
by the oil mills and the stocks on
hand. 1t will furnish the oil mill man
with information Of this character
and also with statistics concerning
the quantities of crude and refined
oil, meal and cake on hand, the
quantities of oil purchased by the
manufacturers, and the stocks on
hand at given dates
