TO Bu|LO ARM0R PLANT,
COMMITTEE PRESENTS BILL TO
SENATE.
Declared That Private Manufacturers
Consistently Overcharge Govern
ment for Plates.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The senate
naval committees recommendation
for government armor plate plant,
voted despite notice that the armor
manufacturers will raise the price
5000 a ton if Senator Tillmans bill
goes through, was formally presented
to the senate today with the declara-
ton that the government is being
overcharged and that the sole remedy
is federal factory.
Should the government build a
plant and lock it up and never use
it," the report says. lit would be wise
to erect it as a warning to private
manufacturers that there is a point
beyond which the government will not
be driven and where patience ceases
to be a virtue"
The report characterizes the rela-
tons between private manufacturers
and the United States since 1887 as a
continual source of dissatisfaction and
little short of scandalous."
"As long as present conditions con-
tinue," it says, "armor manufacturers
are in position to force the govern
ment. in the language of the high
wayman, to stand and deliver. Men
In pursuit of wealth are essentially
hoggish and greedy and the protective
principle seems to have been prolific
in producing some magnificent speci-
MEMS"
All efforts Of the government to
bring about competition among armor
makers, the report says. have failed.
The three bids in the last competition
agreed to a cent, it quotes Secretary
Daniels as saying.

LAND BANK SYSTEM PROVIDED.

Measure to Create Mortgage Plan
Completed by Joint Rural Credits
Committee.
Washington, Feb. 10.-A bill to
create a land mortgage bank system
was completed today by the joint
congressional rural credits committee.
1t would provide for loan of $6,-
100000 from the federal treasury to
chain of IL or more regional banks,
which would deal in mortgages on
country property. Federal farm loan
banks, proposed in the measure,
would be authorized to issue and sell
land mortgage bonds, and provisions
would be made for the organization
of joint stock loan banks by private
capital subject to control of a federal
farm loan board.
Bonds and mortgages Of these
banks would be exempt from taxa
ton.
The plan contemplates the organi-
zation Of prospective borrowers Of
national farm loan associations which
would bear the same relation to the
farm loan banks as member banks to
the federal reserve banks. Loans on
farm mortgages would be made for q
maximum period of SO years with
privilege of liquidation after five
years and mortgages would never
bear a rate of interest higher than
per cent, to be applied to expenses
of the farm loan banks. Loans
would be made on first mortgages

Measure Urged by Gov. Manning i'm
Special Message to Legislature
Advocates Point to Good it VIII Ac-
cOmplish.

Columbia, Feb. 11.-Witbcut op-
position the house yesterday passed
the Toole and LaGrone bill, provid-
ing for an appropriation of $1,000 for
the teaching of agriculture in the
common schools Of the State under
certain conditions, involving the CO.
operation of the schools and the kind
of schools. It was maintained by the
authors Of the bill that an early ia
miliarity with agriculture would in
culcate love for and knowledge of the
soil and would inure to the benefit of
the State and the young people. This
is one of the measures the passage of
which was urged by Gov. Manning in
special message.
The bill provides that State aid to
the extent of $3.50 will be given when
three or more school districts raise
a similar amount; the aggregate will
provide for the teachers salary Any

ers, a term Of seven months, a local

less than two acres, satisfactory equip
ment and use of the adopted text.

free enrolment Of pupil more than
IA years old who desires to pursue the
agricultural course. The bill does not
prevent school districts from receiving
State aid for term extension, rural
graded schools or high schools, as
otherwise provided.
Mr.. Toole said that though Clemson
college is valuable to the State, the
teaching Of agriculture should start
earlier when the boys are young and
attending a public school. He main
tanned that the love Of the soil, as well
as its knowledge, should be instilled
early, so that the tendency to migrate
from the country to the town may be
stopped. He spoke of the importance
Of children or future farmers" know
ing the contents Of the soil.
II am for progress" he declared,
outlining the necessary advancement
Of the common school as a mark Of
such progress.
Mr.. McInnes Of Darlington county
told of the work done in his county
through the agency of Clemson coll
lege whereby agriculture is taught In
common schools. TT is a success
there" he declared, "and the delega-
ton has provided for half mill levy
to continue the work." He said that
he considered the bill the best intro
duced at this session.

! Will ask for recount. A petition for
recount will be filed by Rosengren's
attorneys with the board of supervis-
ors either late today or Saturday.
Rosengren's contest is entirely friend
~, and is being brought solely for the
purpose of making sure that the result
is correct. The small difference in the
vote LEO 10 1855 indicates that a re-
count might change the result entirely.
The reasons for making the appli-
cation are several, and include pre-
Sumably unintentional errors 1t is be-
lieved that election boards made err
rors in counting, recording and return
ing the vote for W. W. Gilbert. who
was a candidate for denomination for

Think Errors in Checking.
The names of the two Gilberts were
not far apart on the ballots, or in the
books used by the judges for Compil-
ing the vote. II is believed that in
compiling the vote election judges con-
fused the names of the two Gilberts
II is also believed in compiling the

The statute provides that the super

there is presumably no appeal from the
