HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED.
State Lands Found to BE Unsuitable
SO Board Acquires $40 Acres at
Clinton.

Columbia, Aug. 21.-The Home for
the Predetermined will be built at
Clinton. This was decided yesterday,
when a committee from the board Of
regents Of State Hospital and Of the
State Board Of Charities and Correc-
tions met at Clinton and passed upon
a proposition which had. been made
by the citizens of Clinton. 1t had
been decided previously that State
lands were not suitable to the pur-
pose, and site near Clinton was ex-
amined with the result that it was
accepted, and soon as possible build
ing will be commenced.
The site selected is at Dover, two
miles east Of Clinton. where the S.
A. L. and c N. and L. railway tracks
cross There are $40 acres in the
tract q .uired by the board, and op-
tions have been secured on $40 acres
more, which will probably be bought,
thus putting at the disposition of the
board about 1900 acres.
The $40 acres were purchased al
most entir ly through contributions
made by the citizens Of Clinton who
had raised $4,000 for this purpose,
the tract of land costing slightly
more than this. The additional 57o
acres on which options are held may
be purchased at between $1,000 and

Plan.
Such

Columbia, Aug. 21.-Ballots for the
long term senatorial race and bal
lots for the short term senatorial race
will be deposited III separate boxes al

A meeting Of the State Democratic
executive committee was held yester-
LAY, when such provision was made.
It was further ordered that IN tbs
event of a second primary for the
short term candidates, the names of
the candidates in this race should sc
on the regular State ticket and the
single ticket be deposited in one box
The two box arrangement was ne
cessitated by having the names of tht
mort term candidates printed on a
separate ticket, and without sec
ond box, each voter would have had
to deposit two tickets in the same box
John Gary Evans, State chairman
was absent yesterday. In that the
rules of the party did not provide for
a vice chairman, the rules were sc
modified as to create this office, ano

THE PRICE OF COTTON.
A Wall Street Opinion as to What
Mills Should Pay.

Charles C. Cowan said: 'Normally
a profit of SIS bale is considered :
handsome one Allowing for an aV-
rage profit of $50 per bale, the mills
could have paid an average 4oc PEI
pound for their cotton during the
past two years. The South has sold
The past two crops $50 per bale un-
der that average. These 25,o0o.oo'
bales. $50 per bale equals about two
and a-quarter billions Of dc.:ars that
the South should have had more
han it received. The prices now Tx
ed by the government on goods al
lows {, spinner to pay 42c for cotton
md make $50 per bale. This beng
true. anything done now that Woulo
compel the South to sell the present
..ery short crop below its value would
work an untold hardship on the
south. Price fixing would undoubted-
" have that baneful effect. Every
threat of it has demoralized the cot
ton trade; and the administration ana
the congressman from the South have
kept hands off through it all.'--New

REVENUE BILL UNFINISHED.
Work of Committee Remains Incom
plete.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The house
all day discussion of administrative
provisions and other details of the
$4,000, 100000 revenue bill was un-
able to reach final agreement on
the details OF the income and excess
profits tax schedules. Chairman kitch-
IN conceded that it was doubtful if the
bill could be reported to the house
announced, however, there is no Ques-
ton whatever of the bill raising the
total $S.000,000, 900 sought.
Mr.. Kitchin announced that Secre-
.ary McAdoo agreed to the plan Of
dividing business into groups for the
purpose Of deduction Of prewar earn
;ngs, but that a maximum II per
cent. deduction which the commit
zee had proposed to give to mining
and kindred hazardous enterprises
was too great and that 10 per cent.
vas more equitable. The commit
ee in all robability will write into
the bill a division of corporations and
nher business enterprises into two
HouY5 for deduction purposes in the
war earnings. The groups probably
Till be financial and transportation
concerns including ali public utilities,
8 per cent deduction and manufac-
uring, mining, gas and oil wells and
,ther miscellaneous business 10 per
cent deduction.
Chairman Kitchin made this state
ment:
"The committee had been discussing
administrative regulations in the bill
lot affecting the rates at all. We
adopted provision for a board
which will draft legislative matters.
The board to be composed of two
nembers, one to be appointed by the
peaker of the house and the other by
he vice president, as the presiding
lead of the senate. We have taken
ie further action as to earned and
ynearned incomes, but have asked the
treasury department. to work out
,lan for administering this differen-
ial of 8 per cent. against unearned
Incomes, on which the committee
cached tentative agreement the
,tber day.
We want the treasury to work out
5. plan for ALLEGATION and for deduc-
.::ior of credits and other technical de-
ails <of an unearned income differen-
eial plan. It will be a per cent. diff
serential, but whether it will be, as
esult normal income tax of II and
IS per cent, the former for earned
nd the latter for unearned, or 10 and
5rr31per cent. to preserve the 10 per
cent. normal, the committee hereto
ore has agreed on, I can not say.
