ment.

Birmingham, April 12-The Bir
mingham Overall Club, with a men,
bership of 5000, pledged to wear ov-
erals until clothing prices came down,
was formally organized tonight at a
meeting in the city courthouse.
Earlier in the day Birmingham
newspapers declined to comply with
request of a committee of retail
clothiers that they cease publishing
items about the overall clubs, the re-
tailers claiming their business was
being injured.
Alvin Douglass, well known attor-
ney was elected chairman Of the
club and Theodore Lamar, origina-
tor of the overall club plan was made
secretary.
Overall Day Named.
Friday, April Is. was set as the
day On which every member of the
club is to appear on the streets clad
in overalls and a solemn pledge was
taken that the denims will be worn
until the price of clothing hits the
toboggan."
Organizations which joined ttt
club in body included city hall en-
ployes, court attaches, Louisville and
Nashville, Southern, Alabama Great
Southern and Illinois Central Rail-
road employees, Birmingham street
car company employees and the Bes-
semer Fire Department.
Membership lists had been circu-
lated in the larger mercantile estab-
lishments of the city and those in
charge of the work reported enroll
ments of 100 per cent.
Bitter attacks upon the cost of
clothing marked the meeting which
was attended by men in every walk
of life.
Strike Against Profiteering.
1.-The people have gone on strike
against profiteering in clothes,' said
Mr.. Lamar.
kilograms from all parts of the
country were read by Secretary La
mar indorsing the movement and ask
ing for information as to the best
means or organizing clubs.
Qualification for membership con-
sists simply in the ownership of one
pair of overalls. There are no dues.
Members are obliged to wear over
alls while at work and urged to do
business only with other men who
wear overalls. While blue denims
were recommended. other kinds may
be worn.
Secretary Lamar stated that he had
inquired into the prices of overalls
and found out that the average cost
at the present time for pants and
jumper is SO.
"If 1 hear of anybody trying to
profiteer in overalls 1 will prosecute
them myself" said Mr.. Lamar, who is
a lawyer as we'll as a business man.

AN AMAZING RECORD.

The News and Courier has already
referred more than once to the ar
ticle published in the Manufacturers
Record of February 5, showing the
amazing advance made by the South
agriculturally in 1919, and especial
ly in grain. production.
1t will pay every South Carolina
business man TO study these 1lgures
in detail.
Every citizen in South Carolina
ought to know, but probably very
few do know, that South Carolina
has gone forward faster agrlcultur-
ally in the past three years than
any other State in the Union.
This is not a mattr of OPINION.
The figures compiled by the Manu-
facturers Record from the Govern
NEST reports prove it conclusively.
For the five year period 191S-l9l7
the average value Of all crops IN
South Carolina was $212,16S,OOO. In
1918 the value of all crops in South
Carolina was s456.504,O0O. In 1918
the value of all crops in South caro-
lima was $520,522,000.
Only in ten other States, namely
North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri
Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio, ILLINOIS,
Iowa. Nevada and Kansas, was the
value of all crops in 1919 greater
than in South Carolina.
1t will be noted that all OF these
other States are far larger in area
and far more populous than is
South Carolina.
South Cardinals percentage OF in
crease in the value of her crops ex-
ceeded that of any other State.
"It is an interesting fact" re-
marks The Manufacturers Record,
"that California, with all its vast
agricultural wealth, had a total crop
production last year of $45,00O,000
less than South Carolina"
How many South Carolinians
knew that? 1t is a fact which ought
to sink into the consciousness of ev-
cry one of us. Compard with South
Carolina, California, agriculturally, is
standing still.
Yet South Carolina has only be-
gun to show what she can do. -

GREAT DOWNTOWN
POSTAL STATION IS
BEING considered
New District Office May Be
Located in the South
ern Building.

The Post Office Department has
under consideration the establish
ment by the Washington city post
once of a great new downtown
branch postal station to be located in
the offices formerly occupied by the
Munsey Trust Company in the South
ern building. at 18th and H streets.
John Koons. first assistant post
master general, said that the whole
matter was a question of whether to
change the present New York avenue
postal station to the 18th and H
street site. Mr.. Koons said that
postal inspectors were looking into
the proposition.
De the great connecting link between
the city post office building proper
and the chain of postal stations
which is now in process of establish
ment throughout the District.
$4,000 Annual Rental.
Rental for the new downtown
branch would be in the neighborhood
OF $4,000 year, it is understood
Plans for the new Office contemplate
the establishment of a separate office
for the city postmaster, who daily
certain period each morning.
This plan would afford merchants
and others convenient access to the
postmaster, before whom they might
place their requests and troubles.
The new station would serve all the
great downtown sections of the city
About fifty carriers would work from
the station, reporting to it directly
each day instead of to the main city
post office building
The station probably would be
known as the H street station. al.
though no doubt it would familiarly
come to be known as the downtown
post Office" owing to the fact that the
postmaster himself would take up his
Office there for a part Of each day.
This distinctive feature would sci

self, it is believed, and offer a unique
status to the branch, unpossessed by
any Of the, other postal stations in
the city.
In Operation by Christmas.
AS far as could be learned here to-
day, this plan for separate office
for the city postmaster. in addition
post office, is a brand-new idea. Il
would mean, it is declared by busi-
ness men, that the postmaster would
bring himself in close touch with
the needs of the business men of the
city, and render it easier and more
convenient for them to see him.
If acted upon favorably by the
Post Office Department. the big ney
station could be gotten ready fol
opening before many weeks, and b
in full operation long before Christ
mas. This station, it is believed
would, settle the problem of handling

SEEKS TO DEFER
MILK PRICE RISE
UN77LOCTOBERI

Having received information that the
price of milk would be raised September

all local dairymen, asking them to ex-
ert every effort with the producers to
postpone the winter price at least until
October.
DR.. Fowler said he based the request
upon reports he has received that milk
has been abundant in Maryland and
Virginia this summer. At present milk
is retailing at is and II cents quart.
Local dairymen were not prepared to
say today what the winter price will be.
The increase probably will not be more
than or cents, it was anticipated.
DR.. Fowler said he does not take the
position that there should not be diff

or mix, but In view OF the information
he has as to the large quantity being
produced in Maryland and Virginia, he
saad 8 ~ 81 the increase could at
least Be postponed during September.

health officer offers to cooperate in any
way he can to keep the price at the
present level until October.
