HARDING SCORES
FARMERS ADVISERS
TELLS LEGISLATIVE COMMIT
TEE AGRICULTURAL coNDI-
,rIoNs AND NOT FEDERAL RE-
SERVE BOARD WERE REsPoN.
J, sIBLE FOR PRICE OF COTTON

Harding, governor of the fede al re-
serve board, appeared today before
the joint Legislative commission in
squiring into agricultural conditions
against his senatorial critics. He
held them rather than any policy
Nof the board responsible for the fact
that the farmers did not sell their
cotton in 1920 when market value
was high and when they could have
disposed of their crop, at least with
out loss.
Everybody aware Of the condi-
ton of the world when the foreign
market was closed against the ex-
portation Of cotton a crop 80 per
cent. of which is dependent on ex-
portation, knew that the price of cot
ton must fall" he said. "And yet
those who haYe seriously criticised
the board urged the farmers to ho,i
their cotton when there was abso-
lutely no chance of them doing so
with hope of profit"
Governor Harding had reference
to Senator Heflin OF Alabama, Sen
ator Smith of South Carolina and
other members of the agricultural
committee, who after urging the
farmers to hold and predicting high
er prices, criticised the reserve
board and it's governor. No names
were called but the witness, when
asked after his testimony, did not
deny that he had these senators in
mind. ,.a -. a, -: ....ss =, i,
The witness declared that in 1920
he believed that the farmers should
sell their best grade cotton in order
to be able to hold their low grade
for which there was no market; ;e:~
He read extensive correspondence
exchanged by him and J. S. Wanna
maker, president of the American
Cotton association, in which he sug-
gested that the farmers be urged to
/. sell. There is no evidence, he added,
that Mr.. Wannamaker took his ad-
vice. f...... S..
The witness referred to recon-
mendation by the board that con-
gress change the national banking
laws so as to give more elasticity to
the lending power of banks, which
recommendation was accepted, and
which, he declared, would result in
much good. ''But none of our crit
ics," he explained in loud voice,
"have had the decency to refer to
that service which we rendered"
Senator Harrison of Mississippi,
in endeavorng TO indicate that GER
tain statements by the board had de-
pressed the value of cotton, caused
the witness to discuss national poll
tics. 1t seems that Harrison, last fall,
spoke to the witness of the good eff
feet which a lowering of discount
rates would have on the demand sit
uation. "We could not follow the
suggestion" said Governor Harding.
In January of this year, I encoun-
tered Governor Cox at a reception.
He told me that he had been of the
opinion that the boards policy was
wrong but that he was convinced
that we would have been very foolish
had we made a change"
Senators Heflin and Smith sat for
only a few minutes in the chamber,
neither questioning the witness.

TRUSTEES RECEIVE BIDS
FOR BONDS AND BUILDING
Hear Proposals Wednesday for Hand.
Eng Securities and Construct
ing New High School

The trustees of the Abbeville High
school will meet at the Office of
Chairman Barnwell Wednesday, to
open bids for the sale of Of 100000
of bonds recently issued for the con-
struction of the new school building
on Chestnut street. They will also
receive proposals from contractors
for the construction of the building.
G. Floyd Preacher, the architect,
from Augusta, will be present. The
bonds were originally advertised for
sale on July 2S, but at that time no
satisfactory bid was received and the
bonds were readvertised. The highest
offer received was 90. It is ul-
derstood that this offer is yet open
and that if the trustees get an offer
from the contractors that is consid-
cred sufficiently low the bonds may
be sold at that price.
Several contracting firms, it is
said, have indicated their purpose to
submit bids. Dealers in bonds and
other securities say that the market
for municipal and school bonds is in
very bad way due to the flood of
foreign securities that have been Of
fered recently at such low prices.
Several other school districts in this
state have refused offers for bonds
because they were too low. It was
announced in The State of Sunday

Washington, Aug. 6.-Unless un'

posed by President Harding will be-

Great Britain's formally express

the government at Tokyo would pre-
fer slight delay merely for the
purpose of facilitating the compla.
ton of material that will be required
by it's representatives at the confer
ence. France and Italy, it is under
stood, will join the British govern,

A final draft Of the agenda prior

1t is possible that the question of

been made at the state department
that Yap might be eliminated by
prior adjustment.

for the coming Saturday, is the an
nounement of the Civic League that
the ladies of that organization will
serve a barbecue dinner, la Gil
liam, in the empty store room next
to the Arnold Garage. This alone
should insure the success of the day
and it will certainly be one Of the
most enjoyable features provided
The lemonade will be provided, free
of charge, on the square and it is
certain to be in great demand. The
barbecue will not be quite free but Sc
nearly so that the fifty cents will
scarcely be missed. Besides, the pro
ceeds will be devoted to a good pur-
pose, to apply on the purchase Of the
Confederate marker that is soon to
be erected. II
1t is not often these days that a
fellow can get all he can eat for half
a dollar, especially something that is

St. Louis, Aug. 6.-The conspicu-

There are signs OF a vigorous iqui-

ger department stores, although the
smaller shops beyond the sphere of
strong competition have not joined
this movement. Much of the buy

Unsettled and fuctuating prices are
impeding the progress of wholesale
business in this territory although re-

The financial strain in the grain

so DEPLoRABLE is SITUATION
THAT UNLESS CONGRESS
ACTS QUICKLY CASUALTIES
WILL BE AT HIGHER RATE
THAN IN WAR.

I Washington, Aug. 6.-Conditions
at the Johnson City Tenn, Old Soles
diers' home where former service mefli
are receiving hospital treatment are
so. deplorable that unless congress
acts Immediately the casualties there
will be proportionately higher than
occurred in the world war, Director
Forbes of the bureau of war risk
insurance declared today before a
senate committee.
Agents of the bureau, have just
completed a secret investigation of
the institution in which are quar-
tered nearly $50 former service men
who, Colonel Forbes declared.
were living under astounding condi-
tions of vice, corruption and inn
morality.
The war risk head brought as a.
witness M. +. Mclnerny, the agent
who made the investigation and who
lived for week as patient" at the
home. The latter told the commit
tee of having bought morphine,
moonshine whiskey and extract of
ginger containing IS per cent alco-
hol on the home reservation, de-
clared that intoxication was com
mon among the former service men
and asserted that immoral women

Institution is located. &,' ~

cred many patients who carried guns

arms away. There was absolutely
no discipline, he added, and the pa
tients "ran the place to the extent
of forcing\the executive officers to-
withdraw the guards from the din
ing rooms" Loaded dice and mark
ed cards, he declared, were supplied
by parasites" from the outside and
the patients drained" of the money
given them by the government.
Colonel Forbes again explained
that his bureau was unable to cor
rect the evils because of lack of
jurisdiction over the Soldiers home,
which is administered by the federal
board controlling all such institu-
tions. He declared that he felt it
his duty to make public his findings,
however, in order that public SEN
timent might wipe out the Course"
