100000 for American army equipment

erty be formed in France, Director:
OF Sales Hare today told special
House committee Investigating War
Department expendi, es abroad.
Director Hare said the French offer
was made to Chairman Parker, of the
United States liquidation commission.
The offer, he said, included all ma
terials, including ship docks, railroad
works and equipment, automobile
trucks and textiles.
Mr.. Hare, with a small party of
industrial experts, will sail for Eu-
rope on Saturday to begin their work
abroad. Sales Offices an dorganiza-
tions will be organized and main
tanned at various places throughout
Europe, the director said, and much

that "if the better market is here.
not in price alone, the goods will be
returned home as the patriotic thing.

| vegetable cam IS. he said:
we have told them we don't intend

Manning, July TAT meeting or
representative business men held last
week 1T was seeded to organize live
board of trade in this town, not so
much with the view of putting Mann

sldent; A. c. Bradham, vice president;
II. &. Wells, treasurer and the follow

berg. This is competent set of Of
ficials and we are expecting results
from their activities. They are now
IN correspondence with applicants for
the job of commercial secretary and
when they land live wire as thew
hope to do, South Carolina and else
where will learn of the wonderful re-
sources of Manning and Clarendon
County.
This is one Of the banner tobacco
counties of South Carolina, growing
as fine quality of yellow leaf. as is
grown anywhere in the world, and
when the opening sale IS over on the
10Th we expect to be near the top in
number of pounds sold among the
markets of the State
Manning is better prepared than
ever to take care of the large crop
that is now being cured as the Clark
warehouse has been enlarged, now
measuring 150x22O. Terrell and Sat-
terield are just completing one of the
best to be seen any where, meas
uring 150x200, under one roof with all
modern equipment. Cothran's and
Harris are in first class condition and
the growers, as well as the merchants
are anxiously awaiting the auction
eer's cry Oh the 18th.
Manning has never experienced a
regular boom but maintains steady
growth. Considerable building is now
going on in the way Of improvements,
additions, etc. Notable among the
new buildings now going up is the D.
w. Alderman & Sons Co. department
stores, located on the Central Hotel
property right in the heart of the
business district. The building will
De two stories, measuring 9Ox15O,
with basement 30x9U.
The front is of English tapestry
brick and will have two main en-
frances. The building will be equipped
throughout with modern furnishings
and appliances among which might
be mentioned private telephones stu
ated conveniently for the clerks in
any department to telephone the of
flee which will be located upstairs.
In AL there will be ten departments
the basement being used as refrig-
Grating plant, and it is their intention
to carry all the cdibles that modern
rcfcigcrating plant can accommodate.
They have also bought the Rhame
property of about twelve acres in the
property Of about twelve acres in the
western part Of town and will erect
number Of modern cottages, which
they will offer for sale. This will
fill long felt want as Manning is
now suffering for want Of housing
facilities.
Manning welcomes these good peo-
pie to her midst, and is anxious for
more newcomers like them.--Corres

HOUSE TO take Up
ENFORCEMENT OF Law
Adopts Rule for Immediate COnsidera-
ton 235 to SO
VETS WILL RETARD BILL
Indications Are Vote on Measure It.
self Will Not Be Reached
This Week.

Washington, July 8.-The House, by
adopting-235 to 59-today special
rule for immediate consideration of
prohibition enforcement legislation,
indicated sufficient votes to enact the
measure without the twelve hours of
general debate allotted members anx-
ious 10 speak for and against it's
passage.
But despite this big majority and
the promise by Chairman Wolstead of
the judiciary committee, that all of the
time set aside might not be used, in
dication, tonight were that vote on
the bill itself would not be reached
this week. Every effort was made to-
day by -prohibitionists to delay
consideration by claims of no quorum,
demands for roll-calls and by forcing
The reading, word by word, of the
printed bill.
Accepted in Good Grace.
All these attempts were accepted
with good grace by the majority un-
til Representative Sabbath, of Illinois,
and Representative Caldwell, Of New
York, both Democrats, brought pro-
test from members, who declared they
were endeavoring by dilatory tactics
to slow up the proceedings. Less than
two of the twelve hours for debate
had been used when the House ad-
journed, to resume consideration
Thursday, tomorrow being Calendar
day.
No attempt was made to split the
bill SO as to take out the first part re-
iating solely to enforcement of war
time prohibition, with a view to its
early passage. This, however, will be
done later, and while members fight
ing for modification or repeal of the
wartime act are hopelessly in the mi
no1 ity, they announced their determi-
nation to keep on fighting until the
whole question of enforcement legis-
Llation was settled in the House
VOlstead's Speech.
The principal speech in support of
the judiciary committees report was
made by Chairman Volstead, who de-
clared that he did not belong to the
Anti-Saloon League and had never
made prohibition address. In a gen
eral way his address followed the ten
or fthe majority report, prepared by
him. Present day conditions showed
the need of enacting additional legis-
lation, the chairman declared, because
of the attempt to set the wartime
act at naught by dealers selling 2A
per cent beer. For an hour or more
the chairman stood as smiling tar
get, while prohibition members
Interrupted time without number.
Frequently the House was> in an up
roar
Mr.. Volstead told the House that,
in his opinion, one Congress could de-
fine Intoxicating liquor as a beverage
containing one-half of per cent a,co-
hol, while another Congress might put
different construction upon it.
In closing he told of the benefit, as
he saw it, that would come to the coun
try with the elimination Of liquor.
