Rion Hill, and the Laurens county

back Studebaker cars, returned last
Sunday night, as was briefly men
toned in Tuesdays papers. AS they
passed through Prosperity sit was
indeed pretty sight to see these
lighted cars, said our alert cores
pondent in that live sister city. So
all along the route from Detroit it
must have been a pretty sight. 1t
was by far the biggest drive IN auto
mobiles ever conceived of and exc
cuted in Newberry. The automobile
trade has grown immensely until it is
way up in the front line Of Big Busi-
ness with a capital B. And in this
instance the Studebaker has taken
the lead. y

RECOMMENDATIONS WILSON'S
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

Washington, Dec. 2.-President
Wilson's message to the sixty-sixth
congress which was read IN both
houses today contains no reference
to the Mexican situation, the peace
treaty, or the railroads. These mat
ters, it is understood, are to be made
the subjects of later messages. The
message, which is devoted to labor,
economic and political conditions, re-
commends:
Adoption of budget system as a
measure of economy.
Amendment of the revenue laws
for the adequate protection Of IN
dustry, through development Of
foreign trade, and reduction Of in
dividual burdens wherever possible:
Aid for returning soldiers IN OBJ
tanning profitable employment.
Special protection Tor the newly
developed dye industry and related
chemical trades.
Efforts to stimulate food produc-
ton by farmers by making rural lie
more attractive and healthful and by
improving marketing conditions.
Regulation Of coal storage by
limiting time during which goods
may be so stored.
Federal licenses for corporations
engaged in interstate commerce.
Enactment Of legislation empower
ing federal authorities to deal in the
criminal courts with ''thcse persons
who by violent methods would abro-
gate our time-tested institutions.
Extension Of food control act to
curb price manipulation.
A definite program to bring about
improvement IN the conditions OF
laEor, so that the workman may
achieve his desire of making condi-
tions of life for. himself and his de-
pendents more tolerable.
The president remarks that, while
the right of the individual to strike
is inviolable, the government has
predominant right to protect the
people against "the challenge of any
class" He also recommends arbitra-
ton for industrial disputes and warns
against those who seek by direct ac-
ton to force their will upon the
majority. -
:'Russia today" he writes, ''is a
painful object lesson of. the power
of minorities.'' The message con-
tains the final warning:
."Let those beware who would take
the shorter road of disorder and rev.
olution. The right road is the road
of Justice and orderly progress. )"

SANITARY CLEANING COMPANY
TO DO FAMILY WASH

The Sanitary Cleaning company
has been organized in Newberry and
will meet want that is felt very
acutely by all housekeepers IN this
community.
The question of having the wash
dore properlyand at price that the
average FAMILY is able to afford has
been very serious one and is get
ting more so every day. The wash
erwomen for which Newberry has
been long famous are getting scarce
ard those that are willing to do the
work want to charge more than the
average family is able to pay, and
yet we suspect no more than the
washerwomen can afford to work for
in these times of the high cost OF
WOOD ard other things necessary to
sustain life.
The Sanitary Cleaning company
will operate new system OF wash.
ing and if a sufficient number OF
families give the company the work
the price will be less than it has been
costing and the work will be done
in all kinds of weather because by
the process used It is not necessary
for sunshine in order to dry clothes.
The company will have a building
in Friend street which is being es-
pecially erected for its use and
ground was broken on the new
building on Thursday and it is ex-,
pected to have the building ready
early in the new year. If you have
not already agreed to have your
wash done by this company better
do SO at once because only sufficient
plant will be installed to take care
of the families agreeing to give their
work done at the beginning and it
may be sometime before new mach
inery is put in. The plant exclusive
of the building will cost around
$4,000 and will be great thing for
the housekeepers in Newberry:
Mr.. NJ. G. Sheppard and Mr.: Wyche
Dickert are in charge of the new
plant.
The building is being erected by
Mr.. J. J. Langford and Mr.. Frldy
in rear of the new garage that is be-
ing put on the lot in Main street and
will front on Friend street.

connection with his election as sena-
tor from Michigan, over Henry Ford.

The fight for an inheritance tax in
this state. will probably be renewed
at the coming session of the general
assembly. which meets on January l3.
Several years ago the late Mr.. George
R. Rembert, then member of the
house from Richland county, fought
for the passage cf an inheritance tax
measure, but his efforts failed.
Inheritance and income taxes, in
addition TO property taxes, have
been found TO be efficient in equal
izirg the burden Of taxation, and
South Carolina is ore Of the very few
States in the Union which has rot an
Inheritance tax at this time. There
are POSSIBLY only two other states
without such a tax.
Inheritance and income taxs, in
addition to property taxes, should
rot increase the general taxation,
however, because under a proper sys-
tenn they would go to reduce the
property tax. OF course under a
wise system the man with a meagre
income would not be taxed, and an
Inheritance tax law would be based
On the same principle, and the larger
the income or the inheritance the
greater the tax. That is the basis
upon which the government has
worked out it's plan of income tax.
The views Of various members of
the general assembly are somewhat
divergent upon the road question, but
the great majority of them seem tc
be in favor of some kind of good
roads legislation which will be at least
a starter in the direction of a state
system Of permanent highways.
With national prohibition an ac-
complished fact three days after the
legislature meets, and with >the fed
eral government providing stringent
measures for the enforcement Of the
law, the liquor question will be elimi-
mated this time, for the first time IN
a long, long number of years, ex-
cept insofar as the state may provide
for assisting in the enforcement OF
the law. It will be refreshing to
have out of the way question which
has taken up so much OF the. time OF
previous sessions, to the, detriment of
constructive legislation.
The suit of the State for the. re-
covery of the Columbia canal is set
for trial at the term of court here IN
December, but it is not known def
nitely whether it will be tried at this
time. It will probably consume a
considerable length of time, as there
is big amount of property involved,
and number of Acts of the leglsla-
ture dealing with the matter.

SHORTENED HOURS
NOT so WIDESPREAD
Plants Operated Solely by Hydro
Electric Power Exempted.-Stores
MAY Operate If No Coal is Used.

Atlanta. Dec. 3.-Public utilities
and private plants operated solely by
hvdro-electric power were exempted
from shortened hours by the regional
coal committee today and industries,
stores and other places of business
were authorized to remain open be,,
tween 4 Q. m. and 9 a. m. provided
that during the latter hours they use
no heat, light or power derived in any
fashion from coal, wood or gas.
Grocery, meat and milk stores, bar
Der shops and places Of public amuse-
.ment may be operated out OF their
hours provided they comply with the
same regulations.
Hydro-electric plants will be re-
auired to show that no coal, wood or
gas is used in generation OF their elec-
tricity and that no coal, wood or gas
is used in any way outside the regu-
lar hours. Heads Of such plants
were asked to come to Atlanta ana
furnish such proof, to the compittee
as soon as possible.
y Certain businesses and organ1za-
sions were added tonight by the COM
mittee to those classes that are per-
mitted to be operated at any time.
They are wholesale druggists, drug
manufacturers, churches, fraternal
organizations, social clubs, coal mines
and coal mine commissaries and
other necessary branches of coal
mines. The committee added that
gasoline filling stations may be oper;-
ated until 8 p. M, and garages, with
the necessary safety lights, at all
hours.
Atlanta, Dec. 3.-The heads of all
the hydro-electric plants in the
South were called upon tonight. by
W. Rawson Collier, public utility
member of the regional coal commit
tee, to meet in Atlanta and furnish
proof that their plants are not US
inp any coal in producing electricity.
Mr.: Collier asked that the hydro
electric men come to Atlanta as soon
as possible without setting a definite
date, as it is not necessary that all
he here at once. After the confer
ence the coal committee will require
a daily report from each plant show
ing that no coal is being used, as
only those plants using no coal are
allowed to- operate. :.--..,.,---,

! The State. !,
washington, Dec. 3.-The fuel
and railroad administrations will sus-
pend that portion of current fuel
orders in the South which imposes
the same restriction on hydro-electric
as on steam plants, it was learned to-
day. Electric current developed by
water power is the driving force In
majority of industrial plants OF large
size in the greater part OF South
Carolina, and Southerners have in
sisted that it was unfair and would
enormously increase the losses from
the coal shortage if these plants,
which operate on water developed
electricity and used coal only Incl
dentally and in small QUANTITIES
should be included in orders which
might necessarily issue in regard to
steam driven industries.
Both the South Carolina senators
and several house members have been
active in this matter, realizing that
the closing down of mills in South
Carolina for even part OF, each day
would work for a tremendous hard
ship on thousands of employees.
The trouble heretofore appears to
have been a lack of understanding
between the Washington headquarters
and the Atlanta Offices of the rail-
road administration.
There is no reason whatever why
.hydro-electric plants should be in any
way effected by the coal situation.
Representative Byrnes is preparing to
get action on his bill to prohibit and
punish certain seditious acts against
the government of the United States
and to prohibit the use of the mails
