price has been set. Lang D. Jennings
of Sumter led the fight for the adop-
tion Of this resolution arguing that
there was always a large block Of cot
ton which was sold at the opening Of
the season, which cotton was sufficient
to meet the immediate needs Of the
manufacturers, and would thus pre-
vent control of the market by the
growers. Mr.. Jennings made an elo-
quent plea for the resolution, saying
that no one would stand to lose dol
lar and that each county was finan-
cially able to take care Of the cotton
hurried to the market. The resolution
was adopted. Another resolution was
adopted calling in the president of the
State Bankers association and the pre-
sident of the chambers Of commerce
of Columbia and Charleston to call q
meeting Of bankers and business men
of the state with the purpose Of form
ing a trade acceptance corporation in
South Carolina. Such corporation
was formed a few days ago in Geor-
gia with a capital of $2,000,000. 1t Is
estimated that a capital stock Of from
$750,000 to $1,00O,0O0 would be neces-
sary for the South Carolina branch

Senator Ed Smith came very near
hitting the nail on the head the other
day when he intimated that part OF the
trouble with the country is the cost OF
high living, as much as the high cost
Of living. To be sure there has been
a lot of governmental extravaganza
and incompetence during the war, and
profiteers have made thousands where
they were entitled to make only hun
dreds; but along with it all there Is
too much general extravaganza. WIDE
spread practice Of economy oy IN
dividuals would help the situation
wonderfully for individuals.

Six dreadnaughts of Admiral Rod
mans Pacific fleet had an unusual ex-
perience with an earthquake, on the
coast of Colima, Mexico, last Sunday
afternoon. The flagship reeled under
sudden shock as if it had struck a
reef. Collision Quarters" was sound
ed from the ships siren, officero, sail
ors and marines moved to their res
pective posts. The situation was a
mystery for some time until Admiral
Rodman suggested Earthquake" as the
cause of the alarm. Wireless messages
were sent to the other five ships and
all replied that they had felt the
shock. The ships pitched and rolled
because Of heavy ground swells, and
after fifteen minutes the Secure sig
nal" was sounded by the siren. For
the first five minutes or so practically
everybody on the ship was sure that
there had been a collision and careful
search was made of all the ships to
discover the trouble.

STRIKE IN ROCK HILL

The employees Of the Aragon Cotton
Mill in Rock Hill walked out last Tues
day night at IL o'clock and the mill
has since been closed.
The difference between employees and
employers is because of wages, the
employees having demanded an in
creas of 25 per cent. and the employers
having declined to meet the demand.
Mr. Alexander Long, general mana
ger of the Aragon stated his position
in regard to the demand of the en-
ployes, in effect like this:

r. f. White, vice president of Ar
mour & Co., appearing before senate
committee, denied that his company
was profiteering or using unfair meth
DDS in the distribution and sale Of
meat. He declared the company had
made no profit on it's beef business this
year and that it would welcome an
investigation of it's books and records.
Mr.. White denied also that his COM
pany participated in eXorbitant profits
in eggs, declaring the egg storage bus
mess was carried on more as an ac-
commodation than anything else and
that the company's average profit was
not more than 2 or cents a dozen.
The witness told the committee that
Monday his firm sold meat at loss
Of from l to l 1-2 cents a pound in
eastern cities due to a fall In the mar
ket Mr.. White said the high cost Of
living was as serious to business inter-
ests as to the people. In this connec-
ton. he said, the cost to his company
of production and distribution had
greatly increased, labor costs alone
having advanced 134 per cent in four
years. Members Of the committee
asked why meat prices were higher in
Washington than elsewhere. Mr..
White explained that his company
shipped a better grade of meat to this
city than to other eastern cities be-
cause Of a demand here for higher
grades. Mr.. White charged the fed
eral trade commission with withhold
ing from the public that its investiga-
tion had shown the packers profits to
be only Sc per cent and added that
there would not be the present agita-
tion against the packers had those fig
ures been announced" He told the
committee that the consumer was to
blame in part for the present high cost
of living. Asking why it was that al
though Wholesale meat prices were low
er, retail prices were higher, the wit
ness said the retailer advanced his
prices with each advancing market and
held the prices up just as long as his
customers permitted him to do so.
The witness suggested the imposition
Of an excess profit tax against pro-
fiteers as a means Of stopping that
practice. Mr.. White told the commit
tee that letters received by Armour &
Co. indicated that the producers were
opposed to federal regulation Of the
packing industry.
