the picture was completed, the pretty

Making a choice was rather difficult.
Two of the parrots could not talk in

suit Miss Clayton. Finally she picked
out the bird she wanted.

FARMERS PROGRAM
TO RELIEVE CREDIT

Chicago, Dec. 28.-A platform of
legislation designed to provide re-
lief for agricultural credits was an
nounced today by J. R. Howard,
president of the American Farmer
Bureau federation, upon his return
from Washington, where the pro-
posal was placed before members OF
congress. Assurance that legislation
as outlined would be incorporated
in a bill to be drafted Immediately
was given him by committee mem
bers, Mr.. Howard said.
The federation's proposed meas
ures as the means of relief were;
Regulatory power over farmers CO.
operative marketing associations
should be in the hands of the United
States department of agriculture
rather than in the federal trade
commissions =
The farmers cooperative market
ing movement must not be hirAered
by the provisions of the Sherman
law, enacted to control trusts and
and not with any intent to curb CO.
poeration for the benefit OF the
public at large. -
''The federal reserve act should be
amended 50 as to provide preferen-
tial rates for loans for productive
purposes over loans for speculative
purposes. ..
The warehousing act should be
extended so as to serve the needs OF
both individual and cooperative as
sociations, carrying with it a rural
credits plan to aid marketing OF
crops. =.
The federal land bank system
should be extended to provide far-
mers personal credit. ::

bureau of vital statistics, there
were 1873 homicides in this state IN
[1919, and this report covered all OF
the counties. Mr.. Williams says that
lit may be easily seen that unless
ONE of the citizens of the state use
little more self control this record
will outdistance all former ones.
"Thee are many causes to which
this high rate of homicide may be
attributed" according to Mr.. Will
Iiams, "such as economic instability
reaction from war and standard
of luxury that has recently been es'
tablished and that many find them
selves unable to each. But the main
sources of homicide are the feeling
among our people that to avenge
with death is the only way to salts
fy ones honor, and the prevalent
habit of carrying pistols.
"A still more remote yet powerful
canse of homicide is the lightness
with which human life is regarded
among US. If our people firmly de-
termined to put down homicide
homicide would be banished from
South Carolina. Several of our
counties this year will doubtless
show a larger number of Staying OF
human beings than the city of Lon
don has in a normal year. London's
population is about four times larg-
er than that of South Carolina.
"In the whole of England and
Wales for 1918, g. murders were
committed and SO people arrested
in connection Herewith were COM
mitted for trial. Fifty-three trials
resulted during the year. Twelve OF
the accused were found insane on
arraignment and were confined; 10
were found guilty, but were ad-
Judged insane, and confined; ten
were acquitted, and Is were SEN
fenced to death"

his customer, and generally been
gusinesslike and enterprising.
'The trouble has been,". said
Mr.. McGoodwin, "that the loans
made year ago were made against
the market price of commodities
which was then at its zenith: Coffee
today is selling for less than the
cost of production in Brazil. The
borrowers have not been able to pay
off their debts at the present prices
and the Situation is made worse by
he fact that the monies of several
South American countries are at a
discount against dollars.
-: Is a System of Barter
."These loans are all good, even
tually. But the borrowers want to
buy more goods now. All trade with
South America is through a system
of barter. You sell a merchant ma
chinery, and take your pay in coffee.
American loans are so overextended
further. For that reason officials of
various banks and exporting esta-
blishments have been visiting South
America lately, trying to induce. the
debtors to shorten their credit lines.
But they are not trying to sell
goods. They are, in fact, refusing to
SELL" -.
Although. Mr.. McGoodwin did not
say so, it is apparent that he feels
this policy may in the end cost the
United States the. trade of South
America. The southern republics
must have goods, and while Europe
is infinitely worse off financially
than is the rich United States, the
Importance of this trade is better
recognized in Europe than it is here.
English, French and German mer-
chants may be able to extend the
necessary credits, and in case they
will get the trade.
Calls Situation Serious
"It is very serious situation"
Mr.. McBoodwin said. "We have the
trade of South America absolutely
cinched now-or could have it
cinched if we would cinch it. But
our banks have been loaning money
down there at 5 and per cent for
which they have been, paying, New
York banks 8 and 9 per cent. That
condition is ruinous of course.
."The debtors are quite willing 20
pay the necessary interest rate, but
in oder keep on doing business
they feel they must have a further
extension of credit. And our expor-
ters and iternational bankers feel
they can not safely extend credit
further. Yet without that extension
some one will get a two-and-a--half-
billion prize yearly--and it will not
be US" I'd"

PHYSICIAN UPHELD
BY SUPREME COURT
Case of DIR. Bell of Mccormick Is
Interesting.

Physicians over the state are es-
pecially interested in an opinion re-
Gently handed down by the supreme
court in which the court holds that
a doctor who uses his best medical
knowledge in case, yet it is dis
covered later that his diagnosis was
incorrect, is not liable for damages
from the patient. This opinion, of
course, only applies to physicians
who, in the opinion of the court, have
put forth their best efforts to deter
mine the trouble with the patient.
The case in question arose in Nc
Cormick county, when J. T. Dillishaw
and his wife brought suit against Or
j. A. ]. Bell to recover damages for
the alleged failure of DR.. Bell to
properly perform his duties to Mrs.
Dillishaw.
Facts from the opinion handed
] down by the supreme court show that
Mrs. Dillishaw is the mother of sew
eral children and in arising from her
bed on the night of October 26, 1917,
to attend to one Of the children she
sustained an injury to one of her
knees. DR.. Bell was called in to at
tend Mrs. Dillishaw, and after hur-
r;ed. examination found the injury
too painful and complicated to deter
mine at once the exact extent Of the
wound. He. wanted to make thor
ough examination and returned to
his home to obtain an anaesthetic so
he could examine the injury closely.
The doctor obtained; the .anaesthet-
ic and returned to. the fDillishaw
home, accompanied by DR.. Mattison.
Both these physicians diagnosed the
injury as a torn muscle and bandag-
ed it as such. DR.. Bell then treated
the knee injury as that of torn
muscle. The wound did not heal after
some time had elapsed and DR.. Full
Ter was called up by the family. He
diagnosed the injury as a broken
knee cap or patella. DR.. Fuller called
in DR.. Neel and the latter was doubt
! full as to the exact nature of the in
jury. Later an X-ray was made of
| the injury and this determined be-
yond question that the knee was
broken and that DR.. Fuller was cor
rect in his diagnosis.
An operation was then performed
and the knee healed. In the mean
time DR.. Bell quit the case after
another physician had been called in.
Mr.. and Mrs. DillishaW brought suit
against DR.. Bell and a verdict was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff by
the circuit court. DR.. Bell moved for
nonsuit and directed verdict in
his favor. Judge Prince refused both
these motions. DR.. Bell then appeal
ed to the supreme court and this
higher tribunal has reversed the
lower court. The high court says that
a verdict should have been directed
in favor of the defendant, DR.. Bell.
In discussing the case, the court
says that the two main points were
whether or not DR.. Bell had been neg
ligent in making his diagnosis and
whether or not he had been negligent
in treating the injury. The court says
that the evidence shows that DR..
Bell was not negligent in either in
stance and could not have been held
to blame for the wrong diagnosis
and possible wrong treatment of the
injury.-The State.

SIXTY HOMICIDES
IN THREE MONTHS
Twenty.nine Counties Show Appall'
ing Records-Report of

ing Records-RePort OF
Coronors
Sixty cases of homicide in 20
counties during the months of Sep
tember, October and November of
this year are the record of this
state, according to report of q.
Croft Williams, secretary of the

lating from the record of these 29
counties, Mr.. Williams estimates
that there must have been about 95
easese of homicide in the state dur
ing these three months. At this rate
there would be about $50 homicides
for the year.
Mr.. Williams compiled this report
from the reports of the coronors of
the different counties of the state.
He wrote letters to all of them, ask

WINTER RUSH OF
UNEMPLOYED ON
Superintendent of Municipal Lading
House Says He Gets Sixty

House Says He Gets Sixty
Requests Daily.
New York, Dec. 30.-The Munich
pal Lodging House, at 25th Street
and the East River, which stood tn
antless during the holidays last year,
sheltered more than 200 men Christ
mas Day, Edward E. Mcmahon, the
superintendent, said yesterday.
These 200, he added, are merely the
vanguard Of huge army of unem-
ployed who are travelling toward the
city by easy stages.
The first snowfall will herald the
arrival Of more than 10000 itinerant
workers, Mr.. Mcmahon predicted.
He called attention to the fact that
he has received from so to 60 re-
quests daily for jobs. Within the
next few days he stated, 5000 postal
cards will be mailed to employers Of
New York City asking them to call
upon the Municipal Lodging House
for extra help.
"There would have been many more
Christmas guests. at the lodging
house had not a great number of our
regular tenants focked to the mis-
sions to partake Of the free dinners
they offer on Christmas day." said
Mr.. Mcmahon. -
THE crime wave throughout the
country has resulted in the police
departments Of many cities, such as
Buffalo, warning vagrants and un-
employed to leave town. Many Of the
men. 60 to Chicago, but the vast ma
jority of them. come to NeY York,
where: they manage to exist through
out the winter.
New York's unemployed popula-
tion this winter probably will be lar
ger than ever before, and we are do
| ing everything we can to prepare
the requests for jobs, which will in
crease as the weather grows colder.
Thousands of men will be given jobs
clearing away snow, and we expect
many other thousands will work for
employers who may need an extra
man for a few days.
To-day received a report that
the unemployed are being chased out
of Ne Jersey by the police and that
all of these men are coming here.
There are few unemployed women,
as positions are offered by hospitals
to women which pay from $38 to $50
month with board and lodging, Mr.
Daubert, assistant manager said.
Many of the regular lodging house
tenants have saved money enough to
carry them through the winter.
The Memorial Hotel of the Saliva
tion Army at No. 225 Bowery, an
other barometer of unemployment,
has been filled since September, En-
vey j. F. Daubert, assistant manager
said.
This hotel has Gil rooms and 200
of these are maintained for transi-
ents. The remainder are occupied
by regular dodgers at the prevailing
rates of 80, 40 and so cents a night.
Ten free beds are maintained in the
hotel.
The army is prepared to do better
work for the unemployed than ever
before" said Mr.. Daubert. During
the past year we have been purchas-
ing hotels and buildings and our IA
cilities for relief work have been
greatly increased. We are receiving
many requests for jobs by young
men who are flocking to this city but
we have been able to find but few
positions" -.

UNITED STATES
MAY LOSE TRADE
South American Business In Danger
Big Sum Annually

New York, Dec. 30.-It seems ra-
ther hard that just as one has learn
ed to play a game, the game should
be shut down, doesn't it? But that
is precisely what has happened to
the American trader in South Am
erica, according to Preston McGood-
win, American minister to Venezu-
Ella, who was in New York for a
short stay.
"The annual value of South Am
erican trade to the American ex-
porter is not less than $2,4O0,000-
00O," said Mr.. McGoodwin. "Call it
two and a half billions for the sake
of euphony. It is positively clamor-
ing to be taken. It will increase
each year with the growth of the
South American republics which are
just beginning to grow. 1t is enough
to keep our factories busy without
regard to the trade of Europe. We
want to, sell down there and South
Americans want to buy from us.
But it looks: as though we were bar
red off by credit conditions"
Germans Once Had Trade
The Germans had the South Am
erican trade in large measure be-
before the war, he said. They gave
long-term credits. "a German bank
would let. it's account run for eight
or ten years." said. Mr.. McGoodwin,
Secured by a mortgage on every
thing the debtor owned" South A
mericans liked that system Of doing
business. They have one marketing
time each year, whether in cotton or
coffee or hides, and IL or 1S month
credit is necessary to them. The
Germans knew how to pack goods,
too, and were accommodating about
trademarks and special brands. The
English were somewhat less accom-
modating, but more willing to be
agreeable than was the average Am
erican exporter.
Then the war knocked the Ger
mans galley-west. "There are Ger
man travelling men working the
South American territory now,"
said Mr.. McGoodwin, "trying to
sell against delivery two years
hence. The English and French are
likewise having troubles in making
delivery. Because of these facts we
have been able to secure most OF
the trade. Now that our goods are in
the market they are we'll liked. The
South American is. an extremely
loyal man in business. Once ne
foms a business connection he likes
to keep it as long as he is decently
teated. We could never have gotten
into our present business relations
if it had not been for the war"
American Not Adaptable
-Now-with billions of trade in
our hands-there is fear that Amer
lean expoters may relinquish it.
They have slowly and painfully
learned the game. 1t has long been
common knowledge that the Ameri-
can exporter has not been as clever
and adaptable as his European COM
petitor, or, as he likes to believe
himself. He had to be hammer into
compliance with the rules of the
new game. For the last two or three
wears he has been granting the long
time credits demanded-by a series
of three months loans with exten-
sions-he has been packing his
goods properly and marking them
properly, and distinguished between
Venezuela and Peru, and writing
