COUNTY ACCEPTS
GOVERNMENT AID
VIII Put Up $4,000 to Build Graveh
Road from Marion to Marl- 81
bOro Line. &

In response to the invitation %
Commissioner Cottingham a number
Of citizens met at the court house
Tuesday and discussed the propositions
to put up $4,000 of county money
against $4,000 of government mon
ey for the purpose Of building a gray-
ell road from the Marion to the MARI
boro county line, After a thorough
discussion of the matter it was agreed
unanimously to put up the $4,000
and accept the government aid. The
road will run through Latta, Dillon
and Little Rock, following the old
road almost The entire distance. The
cost will be about $4,000 per mile.
While the government furnishes half
the money 1t has nothing to do with
the construction work. The only au-
thority it assumes in the matter fs
to require the county to build a road
Of a certain width and thickness.
w. H. Muller moved that the meet
ing go on record as fatoring bond
issue of 100000 for the purpose ot
building system of good roads. Mr..
Muller pointed out that the interest on
the bonds would be considerably less
than the cost of maintaining tenn
porary roads,, to say nothing of saving
in wear and tear on vehicles and
stock. The motion was adopted by nm
animous vote and the delegation In
the next general assembly will be ask
ed to introduce bill providing for
an election on the question.

Work on the Methodist chuch here
is progressing nicely and 1t now ap-
pears that with favorable conditions
the building will be ready for occu-
pancy the latter part Of the summer.
The foundation for the new school
building was excavated last week and
. the erection of the building will be-
gin about the second week in July.
This temporary delay is caused by
tho absence of the contractor, Mr.. c.
T. Shytle, who is away on his wed
ding trip.
The Methodist Sunday school here
was called in last Sabbath on account
of the efficiency Campaign" ser4
vices held at Latta last Sunday morn
ing. Quite a number from this section
attended these services.
Mr.. Charles H. Carlisle Of Spar
tanburg came down from Benne'ts-
vile last Saturday where, he is visit
ing his brother, e. s. Carlisle and
spent the week end at the home OF
his neice, Mrs. J. s. Fair.
Recent rains have been very bene-
ficial to the crops.
Some of the farmers of this sec
ton are experiencing difficulty in
getting soda to apply to their cotton
and corn. In some cases they had
enough to make the first application
and are now ready to make the sec
ond application that is as soon as
their late shipments come in. While
in other cases no soda has yet been
applied to any Of the crop.

WANT BETTER LIGHTS
AND MORE WATER.
Committee Appointed at Citizens
Meeting to Investigate Light
and Water Situation.

There was a fairly representative
crowd at the citizens meeting at the
court house Thursday night. The
object OF the meeting was to discuss
the light and water situation and
adopt such plans as were necessary
10 improve the service the people have
been putting up with for some time
past. The subject was discussed from
many angles. Sentiment was about
evenly divided on the question Of
selling the plant to private parties
or issuing additional bonds and
improving the present plant. C. l..
Wheeler, chairman Of the Public
Works Commission, said the plant
was not worn out. but was overload
ed. He said it was entirely too small
for the town. Mr.. Wheeler was of the
opinion that the plant could be put on
a paying basis by, the expenditure OF
several thousand dollars in improve
ments. He did not favor private ow-
nership. F. M. Niernsie said the en-
gine was out-of-date and 1t was cost
ing too much to produce current. He
felt that the plant could be put on
paying basis IL modern machinery
is installed and competent help Sc
cured. DR.. Stackhouse was inclined to
private ownership as against muni-
cipal ownership. He did not think the
town could operate the plant at a
profit. Morris Fass. was in favor Of
any plan that would give US first class
service. Talks were made by Joe P.
Lane, Capers Brady, j. B. Gibson,
]. w. Connolly, E. r. Hamer, Mayor
Hamer and others. Following a thor
ough discussion of the matter the
following committe was appointed
to consider proposition to sell the
plant or to issue bonds and put in
new machinery. A. B. Jordan. c. L..
Wheeler, F. M. Niernsie. w. V. Jones
and ]. F. Thompson. The committee
was authorized to employ expert en-
gineers if necessary and will report
back to the citizens when they have
completed their investigations and
have recommendations to make.

TOBACCO MEETING CALLED
FOR NEXT TUESDAY.
Mullins, s. c., June 20, 1890

Mullins, s. c., June 20, 1920
A little more than a year ago the
South Carolina Tobacco Association
was organized at Florence. s. c., but
soon after the markets opened last
year it was found that the organiza-
tion lacked efficiency. AS every ware
house selling tobacco in the belt was
full of tobacco and could not ship q
pound, hence 1t was necessary to have
a call meeting of the association and
appoint a committee to go to Wash
ington for the purpose Of getting the
railroad embargo lifted. This was
done and in three days the purpose
was fully accomplished.
AS vice president Of the association
I have received urgent requests from
prominent farmers, bankers, ware
housemen and tobacco buyers asking
for a meeting Of the association. m
accordance with these requests
have selected next Tuesday, July 9Th
at 1880 for a meeting Of the asso-
citation to be held in county court
house in Florence, s. c., for the pur-
pose of perfecting more efficient
organization and to consider the Ques
ton of finance and transportations
and any other matter which may
properly come before the meeting.
In making this call / earnestly re-
quest that the tobacco growers, the
tobacco warehousemen, the tobacco
buyers and the bankers Of every to-
bacco growing section of the State
send representatives to the meeting.
1t is also requested that the weekly
papers in the tobacco belt publish
this notice.

U. s. MARSHALL
SEIZES FEEDSTUFFS

United States Marshall Jas. L. Sims
arrived in Dillon Monday and seized
300 bags Of feedstutfs at the Caro-
lima Milling 'Company's plant. The
feedstuff was shipped in from Indian
and did not analyze according to the
ingredients on the tags. No blame
whatever attaches to the Carolina
Milling Company and they will not
be the losers. The feedstuff was
bought, by the Carolina Milling Co.,
in good faith but before it could be
put on the market they had an ana
lysis made by the government in
spector who found that it did not
analyze as represented. Notice is
given in this issue Of The Herald
that a hearing will be given the man
ufacturers Of the product on the Sth
of July and if the feedstuff is con-
demned it will be sold at public auc-
tion and the proceeds turned over to
the government.

attended the State Short Course a
few weeks ago at Winthrop College

amount. This would give us $4,000,
90 to spend on the Marion to MARI
boro highway as surveyed out In the
early part of the year. A meeting was
called during the sitting of the legis-
lature to consider whether 1t woui6
be a good thing to promulgate this
undertaking. There were only a few
MEN present and 1t seemed to be the
idea Of some present that the federaE
management of the building Of the
road would exert a bad influence on
our labor. AS a matter Of fact 1t would
not, because the government has alb
solutely nothing to do with the road
construction but to supervise the
grading and the drainage and to see
that the county gets the work done
in a standard manner as prescribed
by experts Of the government and on
the state highway commission. IL
this project is launched this year, ap-
plication for the federal aid must be
paid before the first of July. l be-
lieve that ways and means can be de-
vised to get this government aid ana
that If necessary we can pledge the
$16,564.49 just mentioned for a per
iod Of three years and borrow against
it. l do not like to see the county re-
fuse money as a gift, when it needs
all the help it can get. so badly.
Road commissioner Adams Is doing
good work and his office is econom-
ical one for the county.
A warehouse is to be built on the
iail property at an early date for the
purpose of caring for the county ma
chinery, and for keeping it properly
assembled and repaired.
AS q commissioner OF the county
will be glad to discuss county af-
fairs with any citizen Of the county at
any time.
Very truly,

CAPTURE PIG AT SEA
HEADED FOR EUROPE
Swimming Porker Explodes Old
Theory About Cutting Throat
With Feet.

NEW YORK. May e6.-Ptgs Is pigs,
wherever they may be, whether sleep
ing in their sites or swimming In tho
sea.
A small white pig was found swim
ming across the Atlantic yesterday
afternoon by two Staten Island fsh-
ermen- The pig, name and adress
unknown, was in perfect health. thus
dissipating an sge-old theory that
swimming swine will cut it's own
throat with its feet.
Charles and Frederick Petersen
prominent citizens of Tottenvtlle, S. J.,
went fishing three miles off shore
from Keyport, n. J. They were drift
ing in their motorboat when Charles
glimpsed something swimming near
by. The brothers agreed 1t was a sea
turtle and decided to capture 1t.
One of the brothers boarded the
dinghy. overlook the swimmer and
brought him aboard. 1t was a nice
young shoat, weight thirty pounds.
They carried him back to Tottenville
and intend to make hog of the
derelict.
Frederick Petersen is chiefly inter-
ested in the blasted scientific theory.
1t is thought the shoat fell from a
steamer.

CONFEDERATES ASKED
TO JOIN G. AR. PARADE
Fitting We Celebrate Memorial
Day Together" Says Chicago
Invitation.

CHICAGO, May 26.-All that re-
mains Of Mason's and DiNon's line
will be obliterated on Memorial Day
If the handful of q. 4. II. men and
tho young veterans OF the A. l.. +.
have their way.
For the first time in Memorial Day
parades in this city an invitation has
been extended TO Confederate war
veterans to participate. Gen. Is. NJ
Van Zandt, commander of the Con-
federate Veterans Association. re-
ceived a letter from Comdr. John Is.
Thomas OF the Chicago division, q. A.
r., yesterday, saying:
"It is fitting that we celebrate Me-
mortal Day together, therefore, we
of the Grand Army OF the Republic
extend an invitation to the Confed-
crate Veterans Association to march
in the Memorial Day parade with us
Monday, May 81. as tribute to the
honored dead who gave their lives
for their State and Nation"
"The feeling that the sons or the
North and South who fought side by
side in the European war no longer
harbor cnmity toward one another
and that their fathers should become
reconciled, had much to do with ox'
tending the invitation" said Col
John V. Clinnin, adjutant general OF
the parade. There arc Approximately
200 veterans OF the Confederate
army in Chicago.

BONUS BILL 4S|CK,' y
HSADVOCATESSAY
Measure to Compensate Former
Service Men Lacks Twenty
Votes in House.

Where is the bonus bill. and how
does II standY
House Republican leaders sadly ad-
NIT today that the number or such
queries is piling up on them hourly
by letters and kilograms. They are
forced to reply:
The bonus bill is, sick. and IL has
no standing In the House. Advocates
of the legislation admitted that they
were twenty votes short OF the re-
Quired number 10 insure adoption. OF
a special rule under which the bonus
bill could be brought into the House
safe from amendments. The bill VIII
not be brought into the House until
IL is certain that it's friends viii have
a sufficient majority TO prevent IL
from being shot TO pieces by the sub
stitution OF forms OF taxation to raise
the funds for soldier bonus that can
not be accepted by the Republican
Congress.
The lines OF the nifty Republican
members opposed to soldier bonus at
this session OF Congress are holding
frm today. To onset this loss the
Republican leaders must get pledges
OF support for the special rule pro-
posed to carry the bonus bill through
the House from at least twenty Dem
ocratic members favorable to the leg
islation. Thus far they have pledges
of support from six Democrats only.
Under these conditions II is not pos
sible for the Republican leaders TO
bring their bonus bin before the
House tomorrow as planned. They
do not know when they can bring II
out. There was talk among the lead
ers this morning of waiting until the
House goes under general suspension
rules which are applied to facilitate
legislation in TIE last six days OF a
session preceding an adjournment or
recess. But ii takes a two-thirds
vote OF the House to suspend the
rules and pass a bill and the leaders
are uncertain that they can get this
vote even for direct consideration OF
the bonus bill. All realize that with
little more jockeying opponents OF
the bill will have II killed.
