SENATOR NEW TALKS
OF MURDER TRAGEDY

Washington, July 7-Senator New
of Indiana, tonight issued the fol-
lowing statement regarding the ar
rest in Los Angeles on a charge of
murder of Harry S. New, who claims
he is a son of the senator:
81 have just this to say about this
whole deplorable matter. More than
80 years ago, when I was in my
twenties and unmarried, I knew Mrs.
Burger. There was never at any time
question of marriage between us.
Conditions arose which I did not care
to dispute which resulted in my doing
everything in my power to make
amends then and later. Whatever
did in that direction was of my own
accord and no one else had anything
whatever to do with it. The affair
was ended 80 years ago. Since that
time the people of my home city are
the best judges of what my life has
been. I never have shirked any re-
sponsibility that has come to me and
I never shall"

ROYAL RESTAURANT
OPENS FOR BUSINESS
HERE ON WEDNESDAY

The Royal Restaurant and Candy
Kitchen opened for business Wed
nesday. This is truly modern, well
equipped and sanitary place and
merits the patronage of the people
of this city.
The front of the store is given
over to the fountain, candy and con-
fections Of all kinds, fruits and to-
baccoes. Separating the fountain
from the restaurant proper is lat
tice-work, painted white. In the din
ing, room there are eight tables. The
place is roomy, cool and spotlessly
clean.
At the rear is located the kitchen.
This is well equipped and sanitary in
every respect. The menu which is
offered to the public is as compre-
hensive as can be found in any res
taurant in a large city. On another
page of this paper will be found an
announcement of the concern and the
menu. One of the special features
is the Sunday dinner.
The whole place is we'll ventilated.
Several fans keep the air in move
ment and help to lower the tempera-
ture.

MUTUAL COMPANIES
CARRY SIX BILLION
DOLLARS INSURANCE

Nearly 1000 farmers mutual fire
insurance companies in the United
States have a total of $4,000, 900, 900
of insurance now in force. These
companies in general have shown a
higg dehree of stability and have
proved of much value to their men,
bers, specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say in
Department Bulletin 1856, which is a
report of the prevailing plans and
practices among such companies OBJ
tanned from replies to questionnaires
sent out by the Bureau Of Markets.
These companies are organized in
all States excpet Florida, Louisiana,
New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada,
more than four-fifths of them being
located in the Middle Atlantic and
North Central States.
Each Member Has Ono Vote.
Of the 1,161 companies replying
to questionnaires, 124 were incor-
porated by special acts Of Congress,
while 967 were incorporated under
general statute and 21 existed as
voluntary associations without in
corporation. The smallest member.
ship Of any company was rs and the
largest was 32,433, the average
membership being 1882. Nearly
four-fifths of the 1,161 companies
reporting on membership were or
Ranizations Of less than 1000 men,
bers. The prevailing plan is to al
low each member one vote regardless
of the amount Of insurance or num-
Der Of policies held. More than four
fifths Of the companies follow this
plan.
The average, as well as the most
common, number of directors for the
companies reporting was nine, the
favorite term for directors being Ell
ther one or three years. In a num-
Der of laws more recently enacted it
is specifically prescribed that the
term of a director shall be three
years, and that one-third Of the num-
Der shalfbe elected each year.

TEST HOUSE VOTE
ASSURES DRY LAW

Washington, July 8.-The house,
by adopting 235 to SO, today spec
ial rule for immediate consideration
Of prohibition enforcement legisla-
tion indicated sufficient votes to en-
act the measure without the IL
hours of general debate allotted men,
bers anxious to speak for and against
it's passage.
But despite the big majority and
the promise by Chairman Volkstead
of the judiciary committee that all
of the time set aside might not be
used, indications tonight were that a
vote on the bill itself would not be
reached this week. Every effort was
made today by anti-prohibitionists
to delay consideration by claims Of
no quorum, demands for roll calls and
by forcing the reading, word by
word, of ithe printed text of the bill.
All these attempts at delay were
accepted with good grace by the ma
jority until Representative Sabbath
(Illinois and Representative Cald-
we'll (New York;, both Democrats,
brought protest from members who
declared they were endeavoring by
dilatory tactics to slow up the pro-
ceedings. Less than two of the IL
hours for debate had been used when
the house adjourned to resume con-
sideration Thursday, tomorrow being
calendar day.
No attempt was made today to split
the bill so as to take out the first
part relating solely to enforcement Of
war time prohibition with a view to
its Yearly passage. This, however,
will be done later, and while men,
bers fighting for modification or re-
peal of the war time act are hope
lessly in teh minority, they announc-
ed their determination to keep on
fighting until the whole question Of
enforcement legislation was settled
in the house.

COTTON IN ABBEVILLE co.
S PER CENT ABOVE AVERAGE

According to report issued by b.
B. Hare of the United States Bureau
of Crop Estimates, the condition of
cotton in South Carolina on June rs,
was 78 per cent of normal. The con-
dition on the corresponding date Of
last year was 83 per cent, II per
cent in 1917 and IA per cent in 1916
the ten-year average being II per
cent.
The estimated acreage shows a
decrease of II per cent compared
with last year, the total acreage
planted and standing on June rs,
being 2,7O6,OOO acres.
The Condition Reported by Coun-
ties is as follows:

In eight or ten of the extreme

of the Piedmont section, conditions
range from "fair" to excellent" :,
while in the southern, western, CEN
tral and north-central counties con-
ditions range from Every poor" to
"good." Just what effect the exces-
sive rains of the last week in June
will have on the crop remains to be
seen. On the we'll worked and well
fertilized farms there will probably
be an abnormal growth of the plant
at the expense of fruit, but in fields

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
= OF FOOD SPOILING IN
GOVERNMENTS HANDS

Washington, July 9.-Millions Of
pounds of meat and canned vegeta-
bles held by the war department are
deteriorating, while the American
people "need every ounce Of food"
C. W. Hare, director of sales for the
department, told the house commit
tee Investigating war expenditures
today.
This food, he said, consists of
75,000,000 pounds of bacon; $780,
900 pounds ham; $5O,OO0,OOO worth
of canned meats; s1O0,0O0,OoO
worth of canned vegetables.
1t was held for months, he testi-
fed, while war department officers
were trying to figure out if it was
more than the army needed, and
could be sold. When sale was finally
determined on. Mr.. Hare declared,
only half-hearted efforts were made,
and there were few bidders. :
The food was sold to the govern
ment by the packers, he said, who re-
fuGe to take it back at a "decent
crice." Now the rapid deterioration
of the foodstuffs will force a sale of
them below cost, he testified. Efforts
to sell the food to Herbert Hoover
for distribution to starving Euro
peans failed, and attempts to export
it were unsuccessful.
Present plans are to market most
of it in this country, Mr.. Hare said,
where "there is need for every
ounce"
He admitted that at one time
Gamers conferred with war de-
partment officials, who agreed to
keep millions of cans Of vegetables
off the market, adding them to the
regular army ration after the armis-
tice. He said it was "fair infer
ence" that these vegetables were
added to the ration to protect can
ners from competition, and not be-
cause the soldiers needed them.

THE GREAT STAKE.

Congressman Towner, of Iowa,
mentions that in the Department of
the Interior there is Bureau of Ed
ucation, for which Congress appro-
PIRATES something less than half a
million dollars a year. In the same
department there is a Bureau of In
dian Affairs, for which Congress ap-
propriates something more than nine
millions a year, most of which is
spent on education.
All honest radicalism puts equali-
ty of opportunity as the grand objec-
tive of social effort. Equality of op-
portunity begins with equal chance
for education. Though all Russian
statistics are only approximations,
it is probable that seventy per cent
of the inhabitants of that country
were illiterate at the beginning of
the war. That fact alone largely ex-
plains Bolshevism. Their Romanoff
tyranny collapsed OF It's own rotten
ness, and then they did not know
what to do.
Education is the great interest of
this country. No other big interest
has been sd sighted. Five and half
million illiterates in 1910 is only one
bit of the evidence. Bare lheracy,
under the Census Bureaus defni-
tion, is no more education than one
lung in sound physical condition. !
Education ought to be predomi-
nantly state interest; but it is also
the greatest national interest. Moth
ing the national government can do
to stimulate and advise state activi-
ty will be amiss. No reconstruction
program can afford to overlook the
A revival for better edu-
cation, with a big push from Wash
ington, is due now.

BURLESON DECLARES
RESIGNATION REPORT
is WITHOUT BASIS

Washington, July 8.-Postmaster
General Burleson today declared
there was no foundation for reports
that he had sent his resignation to
President Wilson.
Mr.. Burleson was one of three
cabinet officials who did not go to
New York to greet the president to-
day. The others were Secretary of
Commerce Redfield and Attorney
General Palmer.
At Mr.. Redfeld's Office, it was
said previous plans had prevented
his making preparations to 60.
Mr.. Palmer had made plans to go
but changed them at the last min
ute, because of a slight illness, it
was said at the department of jus.
tice.
President Wilson, returning to the
United States today, is confronted by
many important issues.
A great number of bills are on his
desk at the White, House, awaiting
signature. In addition, he is expect
ed to name a charge d'affaires for
the American embassy in Berlin,
consult with Secretary Redfeld with
regard to resumption Of commercial
relations with Germany, after the
trading with the enemy law expires
upon proclamation of peace; take &C.
ton on the persistently reported de-
sire Of Secretary Baker to retire; de-
eide when rehabilitation shall be
declared ended and war prohibition
may be lifted, and take a hand in
the plans for returning the railroads
to their owners.

WILSON WILL TELL
ALL TREATY FACTS =
TO THE u. S. SENATE

Washington, July 9.-Only a flut-
tering flag on the top of the White
House today denoted the return of
President Wilson. Fountains played
on the lawn, birds twittered, police
guards 1ounged beneath the big trees
or at the iron gates, and the White
House Offices wore their usual look
of emptiness. Everybody supposed
that the President was busy unpack-
ing grips. Senator Lodge, Reptbli-
can chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee, didn't call, nor
did any Democratic senators leave
their cards. or drop in to say hello.
Tranquility, peaceful and benignant,
enveloped the executive end of the
avenue-a sort of calm before the
storm. r. ''...
For inside his study, the president
was putting his finishing touches to
his address to congress. He sum-
moned Joseph P. Tumulty, private
secretary, very early and the latter
functionary received the correspond
ents and gave them the benefit of
the few decisions the pesident has
already been able to make. Mr..
Wilson will not leave here for two
weeks. His itinerary for the west
ern trip which will extend to, the
Pacific coast will be mapped 4tt in
the Intervening period. The .presi-
dent will review the new Pacific
fleet. And in the next fortnight
