GREENV|[LE MAN
KILLED IN WRECK
AUTOMOBILE DRIVEN INTO WA
CON TONGUE RESULTS IN THE
DEATH OF TOM CARPENTER.
GOING TO BASEBALL GAME
AT GREENVILLE.

Greenville, July 19.-Struck by
the tongue Of a wagon which was
passing the automobile in which he
was riding, Tom Carpenter, AZ, a
weaver at Pelzer mill No. 3, lost his
life on the National highway five
miles from Greenville today in one
of the most unusual accidents on rec
ord in this county.
The automobile, driven by C. j
Holiday, was occupied by six men
coming from Pelzer to Greenville
for the Greenville-Augusta baseball
game this afternoon. According to
the story told by the occupant Of
the car, Mr.. Holiday sped up his
car in an attempt to pass an automo'
bile in front and turned to the left
of the road, and as he did so the
tongue of the wagon which was com.
ing from the opposite direction struck
Mr.. Carpenter who was in the rea,
eat, knocking him out Of the cal
and killing him almost instantly
The dead man was badly torn owe,
his left breast. The collision tore
the top from the automobile. The
wagon was being driven by E.. D.
Seawright of Piedmont and was
loaded. with provisions.
Mr.. Carpenter was well known in
Pelzer and was a prominent member
Of the Odd Fellows and the order Of
Red Men. He is survived by his
wife and several children.

PUBLIC OPINION [.
HARD|NG'S ALLY
PRESIDENT BELIEVES THAT
VOICE OF PEOPLE WILL MAKE
MOVE FOR DISARMAMENT
EASY OF REALIZATION-TIME
FRIENDLY FACTOR. =.

Washington, July 19.-While the
State Department is advancing its ne
gotiatio4s for the disarmament con-
ference as RAPIDLY as it considers
practicable, there is a well defined
feeling here that time and prelimi-
nary discussion are working on the
side of the United States in its ef-
forts to include troublesome diplo-
matte problems within the scope of
the conference. ..
This belief is particularly manifest
just now with relation to Japan, the
only nation which has not yet accept
ed unreservedly the American sug-
gestion that Far Eastern questions
be considered along with the general
topic of disarmament. Confidence
that such an unreserved acceptance
eventually will come from Toxic has
increased measurably among Ameri-
can officials since the proposal be-
came subject Of general discussion
throughout the japanese Empire.
From the start it had been appar-
.ent that President Harding and his
advisers were counting on the arous-
ed public opinion Of the world as
their greatest aid in moving for ar
mament limitation, and they have
read press reports and the comments
of foreign diplomatists and states
men with keen interest to discover
how impelling is the sentiment in IA
vor of a free and frank exchange of
ideas on all the subjects threatening
international discord. This survey,
so far as officials have been willing
to comment on it, has aroused in
them general satisfaction. -:
The impression that time is a
friendly factor in all of these consid-
erations, and that undue impatience
might lead to a misunderstanding of
the real motives of the United States
in proposing the conference, is re-
garded as explaining the indisposi-
ton of this government to hasten the
preliminaries. 1t was indicated today
that nothing definite has been done
towards physical arrangements, nor
even toward the issuance of a formal
invitation, and that it might be some
days before there was another con-
crete development.

|0|L ON FREE LIST
WITHOUT. TARIFF
LONG STAPLE COTTON ALSO
DUTY FREE, WITH MEMBERS
OF HOUSE IN DOUBT ABOUT
RATE ON COTTON GooDs-To
TAKE UP ASPHALT SCHEDULE

Washington, July 19.-Oll Went on
the Fordney tariff free list today by
a House vote of more than 2 to /.
Long staple cotton, on the free list
in the ways and means committee
draft, however, was put on the dutia'
BILE list at is per cent ad valorem
with members in doubt as to wha,
compensatory rates on all cotton
goods would be considered necessary
by reason of the imposition of taS
on the raw product. There was nc
explanation of the committees action
in deciding at the last moment not
to take the ordinary variety of cotton
such as is raised in the South from
the free list.
The real flare-up was over the oil
schedules. It broke at the outset OF
the session after Chairman Fordney
had presented letter from President
Harding opposing the tax, and sug'
gesting rather a bargaining provi.
sion to be placed in his hands to
"guard against the levy Of duties
against US or the imposition by other
nations of export tariffs which are
designed to hinder the facilitation OF
trade"
About half the Republican member.
ship of the committee, which imposed
the tax after the bill had been printed
and after the duty earlier had been
rejected Joined Republican insurgents
and almost a solid minority in throw
ing out the duty. Representative Gar
ner, Of Texas, ranking Democrat on
the committee stood, however, with
THE. oil tariff advocates lead by Rep
resentative Chandler, of Oklahoma. !
Long staple cotton was transterr'
ed from the free to the dutiable list
by a vote of 105 to "a. both parties
again being split up. The duty only
would apply to cotton of one and
one-eighth inch staple, although sew
eral attempts were made to increase
the length Of the staple and thereby
reduce the amount of the commodi-
ty coming under the protection. AL
were defeated however, but by small
margins.
Approximately one million bales OF
cotton will be affected by the duty
each year, according to statistics Of
fered in the discussion.
The House tomorrow will take up
the asphalt schedule, the last Of the
I've on which separate votes are in
order. Then will come consideration
of committee amendments, number.
ing about two hundred.

Ross old records show that they came in load rom Albany. N. T., by schooner to NorWlchi and were hauled to Lisbon with an OK team. They were put on with hand made nails manufactured by the Jew etts in Newent. The paint, where they came to the weather was a mixture of Princes metallic paint, resin, and oil which dripped from the shafting in Sla- ter's mill. Underneath on the roof boards is 8 layer of birch bark. The house has never leaked nor has the snow blown in. The shingles which have done over a century of service are bright and firm today under their pro- tectiVe coating of paint and where over lapped show only a slight discoloring.
