Washington, Jan. 22.---According
20 information made public here to-
day there will soon be three new
South Carolinans at West Point and
Annapolis as the result Of examina-
tiors for vacancies at those places held
in Columbia December 30. II is un-

were George O. Etheridgo OF Saluda,
a. 4. Nimitz Of Charleston and J. A..
Stancell OF Elko. 1t is not yet set
tied just how these places will be util-
lied, as it appears that Etheredge can
go either 10 West Point or Annapolis,
that Nimitz will have 10 take Annapo-
lie, and that Stance,l's choice may de-
pend upon the desire OF Etheridge.
This uncertainty Is due TO the fact
that part OF this examination was for
the State at large and part of the Sec
ond district only.

benefit to the producer will be that
he will save about So a bale, which

There Is no parallel in history for
the monopoly the South enjoys in cot
