SPENDS MILLIONS
FOR AUTOMOBILES
South Carolina Invests $115,400,250
In Cars-Uses Much Gasoline.

South Carolina has at present ap-
proximately s115,400,250 invested
in automobiles and motor vehicles in
general as compared with the COM
bined investments of all banks in the
state of s42,ooo,OoO, according to
statistics compiled by the state high
way commission. These figures are
based upon an average cost per car
car of s1,275, which is considered
reasonable by the department.
Figures from the department
show that last year the combined
capital invested in all industries in
the state was slightly in excess of
$201, 100000 or not quite double
the amount invested in motor We
hicles.
Much Gasoline
During 1919 the state consumed
more. than 100000 gallons of
gasoline and for the nine months of
1920 the consumption has already
reached 31,s57,s3O, the statistics
show. This is an average of $685.
$50 gallons a month";
Registration. of cars has also
reached the highest total in the his
tory Of the state with a4,511 for the
nine months of 1920. Last year the
total registration reached 1929
and in 1918 the number was 5s,sO3
while in 1917 the registration was
40,174 automobiles and motor We
hicles. Below are some figures by
the state commission: ...
Investment In Cars
"An estimate of the cost of auto
mobiles and trucks now registered in
South Carolina, if based upon an
average Of $1,275 per car, which is
considered conservative, places the
investment in motor cars within the
state at the present time at, no less
than s115,4oO,25o. 1t is very inter-
.esting to notice by way of compari-
son that our investment, in all the
banks Of the state combined, aggre-
gates only a little more than s42,-
100000, of which approximately
s24,oo0,oo0 is capital stock and
s1s,ooo,oOo is surplus. Our textile
manufactures represent an invest
ment of about s117,OOo,00O, while

CHESTNUT CELDlNG
MAKES go MILES
IN EIGHT HOURS

Concord, N. H., Oct. 16.-The
Arab chestnut gelding Crabbet, was
again to the front today when the
13 survivors of the 800 mile endur-
ance race started out on racing
finish headed for Camp Devans,
Mass. The goal was 60 miles away,
but, Notwithstanding that 240
miles of fairly stiff going lay be-
hind them, most of the animals were
in such good condition that their
riders were able t. make it race.
The honors of the start were with
Chabbet: This descendant of Ara
bian desert steeds yesterday estab-
lished world record for so miles of
road travel under weight when car
rying a rider and packs weighing TO-
gether 245 pounds, he travelled from
White River Junction to point
outside this city in eight hours. OFF,
cials of the race said that no such
feat by horse similarly laden had
ever been recorded. The average
daily march of a cavalry mount in
the United States service under
campaign conditions is rs miles.
: Bathed and rubbed for hours last
night and this morning by his rider
Jack Fretz, a lanky cow puncher,I
who holds the broncho busting
championship of Australia and the
United States, Crabbet stepped out
upon the trail as briskly as if he had
been through an easy jog yesterday
instead of a drive that left a dozen
speedy steeds behind.
l. 1t was not yet dawn when the hor-
ses got away. Crabbet was followed
closely by the Kentucky thorough
breds, David Craig and Moscowa.
and by the grade thoroughbreds
Bunkie and Mile Densie and the
Arab Rustem Bey.

SUBSTITUTE FOR COTTON

New York, Oct. 16.-If the price
of cotton goes any lower Southern
farmers will cease to grow it and
the chemists of the world will be
called upon to find substitute for
cotton as they have for the silk
worm, it was predicted here today
by DR.. Roy Thomas, professor OF
chemistry at Winthrop College
Rock Hill, S. c., in an address be-
fore the local branch of the Ameri'
can Cotton Association. Artificial
silk, he said, has practically super
seded the silk worms product.

WILSON ASKS FOR FACTS
ON WHEAT PRICES

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Wheat made 6
big advance in price today after
news became public that President
Wilson had asked Governor Allen
of Kansas, for information which
might indicate that the recent big
fall in the value of wheat was due
to any artificial causes. December
delivery ran up 13 to 13 IA to
1921 and closed unsettled at $2.17
/ 1-2 to $2.1S 1-2.
Announcement of recent large
British purchases of wheat on the
Pacific coast counted also as bull
ish factor, and so did word of an un-
usual export demand for corn. Be-
sides a big drop in ocean freight
rates was reported, and it was said
that seeding advices pointed to a
seriously decreased acreage of win
ter wheat planting throughout the
United States.
Most of the hurried buying on
which today's advance took place
was attributed to shorts and COM
mission houses.
Warrington, Oct. 16.-President
Wilson. has requested Governor
Allen of Kansas, to forward to the
Federal Trade Commission any in
formation he was tending to indi-
cate that the recent decline in wheat
prices was due to unfair practices
or competition or to other. artificial
causes.
A letter to this effect sent today
by Secretary Tumulty was in an
swer to many appeals for govern
ment action looking to an embargo
on Canadian wheat. These were re-
ferred sometime ago to the COM
mission and the Department Of Ag-
riculture. Mr.. Tumulty's letter to
Governor Allen said:
"The President has received your
telegram of October sixth with re-
ference to the wheat situation and
has received a number Of others of
similar tenor. He fully recognizes
the Importance of the questions you
raise and he has therefore, request
ed the Federal Trade Commission
and the Department of Agriculture
to look in to the matter at the
earliest possible moment with a
view to determine what, if anything
can properly be done. In the mean
time, he will appreciate it if you will
be good enough to forward to the
Federal Trade Commission any in
formation in your possession, which
in your opinion, tends to indicate
that the recent decline in wheat
prices is due to unfair practices or
competition, or to other artificial
causes"

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
HIGH COST OF LIVING
TO BE ABANDONED
Department of Justice Will Dismiss
All Fair Price Committees On
November 1st

All Fair Price Committees On
November LIST
Washington, Oct. 16.-The cam
paign conducted by the Depart
ment of Justice against the high
cost of living will be ended and the
entire fair price organization dis
banded on November 1.
Letters have gone out from the
Department to all fair price COM
mittees and all others engaged in
the campaign advising them of the
Departments decision to conclude
this work, officials at the Depart
ment stated today.
Department officials said that
while the campaigns had been Sue
cessful, the immediate reason for
closing up the work was a lack Of
funds.
Abandonment of the campaign
probably will mean the displacement
of half a dozen special assistants to
the Attorney General who have de-
voted their entire time in fighting
high prices. What officials;will retire
has not been made known, how
ever.
No Let-up On Profiteers
It was declared that. the dissolu-
ton. of the organization in the cost
of living campaign would have no
effect on the Departments drive
against violators of the Lever food
control act. The Attorney General
was represented as being fully con-
vinced that the Lever act had made
it possible to curb the hoarder aAd
the profiteer and determined to go
forward with prosecutions Of coal
men and others against whom COM
plants have been made.
Instructions lately have gone out
from thet Department to district at
torneys to pay close attention to all
trade organizations with a view to
ascertaining whether they have
operated as a combination in re-
straint of trade. Officials said the
trade organizations were so numer-
Gus that this phase of the work alone
had required the services of more
attorneys and agents than the De-
partment was able to supply because
Of it's shortage of funds.

SEPARATE PEACE >.'.N
TO BE REJECTED
Plans OF Republicans Will Fail
White Gives Views

| NeW IOTk, OCI. 1O.-IeOTSe
White, chairman of the Democratic
national committee last night issued
statement in which he said that
Eleventh hour plans Of the Repub.
licans weuld fail to check the Re-
publican and Independent stampede
to Governor Cox, which has already
begun.
"The Republican campaign is in
disorder" Mr.. White declared. "Par-
ty ranks have been broken. Those
who for years have affiliated with
the party because they have believed
that it stood for high principles are
deserting it.
independents who have otter
supported it are turning to Cover
nor Cox. In close council and deep
secrecy the Harding campaign
managers are seeking frantically to
work out eleventh hour plans to re-
gain lost ground"
! One of these "plans," Mr.. White
said, he understood was to an
nounce in advance the personnel of
the cabinet Senator Harding would
constitute if elected. ..
"It is to contain names Of distin-
, guished men who are seemingly dis
charging their party obligations at
the expense of their convictions and
their consciences. .'
eff the plan is carried out its pur-
pose will be to impress disgusted
nation with the fact that a weak
president would surround himself
with strong men. It would be a
confession of ineficiency unparallel-
ed in the history Of American cam
paigns."
Mr.. White stated that the Repub-
lican party was being deserted for
three reasons, as follows:
"First, true Americans are deter
mined that the league of nations
can be saved only through the elec-
ton of Governor Cox.
"Second, the country has come to
know Senator Harding as at best, a
wabbler on the great issue, and, at
worst, by his own statement, a
sworn enemy of any league. .
"Third, Americans will not coun-
tenance the Republican plan for a
separate peace with Germany"
= In concluding his statement Mr..
White referred to Senator Harding's
declaration on league Of nations OBJ
legations, 'T do not want to clarity
these obligations. I want to turn my
back on them" 49,. ..
"These words" Mr.. White said,
smashed the deceitful strategy Of
a campaign which proposed to fool
everybody until after election and
began a movement which has be-
come a stampede"
