ENDORSES THE WAREHOUSE.
President Il. w. Dabbs Says I6 VIII
BE Along Right Line.
To the Farmers OF South Carolina

TO the Farmers of South Carolina:
The Legislature has met in regu-
lar session and adjourned without
doing much to help. The limiting Of
cotton acreage to one-third OF the
land actually cultivated, | think is a
step in the right direction; but il
should have gone further and plan
ned for markets for farm produce,
and it should have made an appro-
priation for supplying seed grain and
winter legumes to farmers not able
to buy them. Instead of this real
help, it wasted much time on a bond
issue Of very doubtful helpfulness
Fortunately this died without the
farce of an election on it on twelve
hours notice.
The warehouse measure will be of
great service il it is not confined TO a
few big central warehouses, but is
made to cover the State so that every
community can have one so cheaply
constructed that there will be very
little idle capital in the years when
the farmers will sell cotton, and yet
with the States protection in times
like this for the cotton that can be
more cheaply stored and inquired in

OCONEE "CLEAN-UP DAY"
10th Set Apart As Day for
Beautifying School Premises.

Miss Annie McMahan, Supervisor
Of Rural Schools, has issued the fol-
lowing circular letter to the trustees
and teachers Of Oconee county:
To the Teachers and Trustees of the
Schools:
Miss Mary Eva Hite, President Of
the South Carolina School Improve
ment Association, appointed Novem-
Der as Clean-Up Dav for the schools
of the State. Since a number of our
schools were not open then the Coun-
ty Board asked that Oconee county
postpone CIean-Up Day till November
20. 1t is urged that every school
community observe this day. The
school is the center of interest for
the entire community and should be
an attractive and well-kept model for
the homes.
AS there is work for everybody to
do, we suggest that the teachers and
trustees see the individual patrons
and ask that they come to the school
house on November goth prepared
for work. Committees should be
appointed to look after the various
phases Of the work
The following Is suggestive Of what
may be done:
|. SCour the floors and oil them.
See that some sweeping compound,
dust-down Tor example, is purchased
for use during the year.
=. Clean the walls and ceiling: if
possible, tint them, making the cell
ing lighter hue than the walls.
,. Wash the windows and replace
all missing paneS.
1. Polish the stove, and put tin
underneath. Arrange an attractive
wOod-hOX or coal scuttlc.
;. Cleanse the water cooler. If
your school is not provided with a
sanitary drinking fountain, put in
one.
Il. Destroy all old calendars and
remove gaudy-colored pictures.
I. Dust and arrange books in the
library. See that the bookcase can
be locked
s. Secure some potted plants for
the school room.
.. Remove all trash and weeds
from the yard and put trash box,
or barrel, in some incOnSpicuouS
place for use during the year. Put
the woodpilc back Of the house.
10. Plant trees and shrubbery.
This will be a good time to set out
SNOWFALL bushes, lilacs, cape jesse
mines and bulbs. All these bloom
early in the spring.
II. Clean out the well. and build
an attractive well-houSe
~. See that the outhouses are in
good condition. Build shields and
plant vines to cover them. If you
have no outhouses, build two. This
is a necessity.
13. Rate your school by the score
card which will be sent you, and
hang it in your school room.
| trust that no community will be
satisfied with a &C" or ID" school.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamcd condition OF the mucous lin

this tube is inflamcd you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
lIammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by

The building of this mill is one re-
suit Of the grain campaign which
has spread throughout the country
and it will be an encouragement to
the farmers Of Greenwood county to
SOW large quantities Of wheat. Many
farmers are said to have been timid
along this line, fearing that they

BOSS" STILL RULES,
SAYS ROOSEVELT
Colonel Endorses Tribune's View
That Barnes Remains
the Issue.

Colonel Roosevelt gave out the fol-
lowing statement at Oyster Bay last
night:
81 wish to call the attention of Re-
publican and Independent voters to the
following sentence from the editorial
of the Republican New York Tribune
this morning:
"'The retirement of State Chairman
Barnes no more kills the Barnes issue
in the Republican party than the cleo
ton of William Church Osborn to be
Murphy issue in that party
This is the exact truth, and it
should be remembered by those who
are trying to persuade Independents
and the Republican rank and file that
Mr.. Barnes's retirement ends the
Barnes issue. Unquestionably Mr.
Barnes's retirement is due to the pub
lie sentiment among right-thinking
citizens which has been given such
tremendous impetus by the action Of
the Progressives during the last two
wears and half But all the evidence
tends to show that Mr.. Barnes is mere
ly going to retire behind the screen
and will remain as much in control of
the Republican party organization as
ever.
"Mr. Murphy is not state chairman,
but he is in control Of the Demo-
cratic party in this state, MIR. Muir
ply has not been state chairman
while Messrs. Dix and Glynn were
Governors, but his control of the poll
tics of the state was exercised as
efficiently behind the screen as if he
had been in front of the screen. In
the same way, Mr.. Barnes was not
state chairman when Hughes was Gov
ernor, but the fact that he WIS behind
the screen at that time instead of in
front of it did not prevent he wreck
ing of the Hughes administration.
"Mr. Barnes remains as national
committeeman. If he elects his candi-
date for United States Senator and
behind the screen continues to ex-
ercise the influence that he has for
years exercised in the Republican
party the situation will rot really
have been changed one particle oy his

FALLS FROM GIRLS
ROOM TO DEATH
Ex-Broker, Seeking Air,
Plunges Five Stories
to Pavement.

Alexander Wetherlll, we'll connected
and well-to-do, was found dead early
yesterday morning in front of the San
JGcinto, CAT Madison av. He had fallen
from the rooms of Miss Marion Thomas
and her father on the fifth floor. Miss
Thomas refused TO discuss the case
with any one except Coroner HELEN
stein and Barent Lefferts, of 935 Madi-
son av., brother-in-law of the victim.
Lefferts told the police that the
young man was twenty-nine years old
and until three years ago had been a
broker. He had not recently been in
business. He maintained apartments at
Holworthy Chambers, 1862 Madison av.,
but the superintendent said he had not
been in the habit of occupying them
more than once or twice a week.
Miss Thomas said they went to the
theatre together on Tuesday evening
and later had supper, during which he
became Ill. A drive in the park failed
to improve his spirits and she invited
him to her apartment.
ave reached here about $780," she
added. "He said he would be all right
if he could get some air and put his
head out of the window. / warned him
that the balcony had very low railing,
but moment later ] noticed that he
was outside the window. AS | ran for
ward he fell. caught his leg as he
stumbled over the two-foot railing, but
was not strong enough to hold him"
Young Wetherilps family said they
knew of his friendship for Miss Thomas
and were satisfied that the death was
accidental. The Coroner decided there
was no need for further investigation
and gave Mrs. Lefferts, who has sum-
mer place at Stony Brook Harbor, Long
Island, permission to remove the body.
The funeral will be a quiet one to-mor-
row, and burial will be in Philadelphia.
The young man was planning to
enter Princeton about four years ago,
but changed his mind and continued
in business when he became engaged to
Miss Gertrude Emily Gaynor, daughter
Of the Mayor. Later they decided, al
though both families approved the
match, that they were untitled for each
other, and the engagement was broken.
Subsequently Miss Geynor became the
wife of W. Seward Webb, jr.
His mother was one of four famous
beauties, daughters of George Lawrence
Smith, OF Smithtown, Long Island. One
of them married Stanford White, an,

GRAND JURY AFTER
MORGUE OFFICIALS
Will Continue the Sessions to
Investigate Looting of
Woman's Body.

Permission was granted the August
Grand Jury yesterday by Judge Mott
to continue its sessions for some time
longer, in order to investigate the
Charities Departments supervision of
the morgue.
This action was taken as the result
of the robbery of the body OF Mrs.
Katherine Magee, of 210 East 18th st.,
who was killed by surface car at
Fourth av. and 18th ST., on July 81.
Two assistants at the morgue in East
26th st., George Delsondre and Thomas
Corr, looted the body Of diamond rings
and jewelry valued at $1,640, while it
was awaiting Identification.
This, however, did not satisfy the
Grand Jury and the members made
known their wish yesterday to pros
ecute an inquiry John A. Kingsbury,
Charities Commissioner, was ques-
toned by the Grand Jury following the
arrest Of Corr and Delsondre, and he
insisted that he was unable to under
stand how such an outrage could have
been perpetrated. Delsondre, he said,
was employed in the morgue at a small
salary, and Corr, hanger on, was his
helper.
