ADDRESSED BY The GOVERNOR
Hope Expressed that the State Would
This Year Take Advantage Of the
Benefits Of Federal Aid.
Columbia.

The first days session Of the South
Carolina road institute was a thor
ough success, with upwards Of 100 en-
gineers from all parts of the state
present and strong addresses by lead
ers in the state highway commission
and prominent citizens Of this and
other states, creating great enthusi-
asm and interest
The meetings were held in the lee
ture room of LeConte college on the
university campus, with Frank E.
Brodnax, president of the road insti-
tute presiding.
The night session was featured by
an address by Gov. r. A. Cooper who
urged the engineers II they had any
influence in their counties to use it
to advocate the issuing of bonds. He
declared that the federal government
was going to continue to furnish aid
for good roads and he expressed the
hope that the state would this year
take advantage of the opportunity to
benefit by It.
Now, he said, is the opportune time
to put forth every effort to do all the
road building possible. Gov. Cooper
said he would not venture to dictate
as to whether top soil or hard surface
roads or what kind should be built
but said he did know that some diff
ferent type from those now In vogue
In the state should be instituted. ~

Food Supplies for the West
South Carolina imported $1,000, 900

South Carolina imported $1,000, 900
worth of food and feedstuffs from
the West last year, according TO fe
ures compiled by the committee on
banking, legislation and warehousing
of the South Carolina division. OF the
American Cotton association. The i'm.
portation of this enormous amount OF
footstuffs into the state was mace
necessary by the eagerness Of the far
mers to raise cotton, many OF them
planting II acres to the plow.
According to the committee state
ment the importation Of food and
feedstuf7s into South Carolina from
the West last year, was as follows:
Corn s15,OOO,O00; mixed feeds $13,
100000; hay s12,OOO,OOO; oats $4,000.

BOARD TO AID GULF PORTS
Capital Declared Already interested,
But Action Awaits New Board
Appointments

Neutrality-suspicious. in the way
of further ALLEGATION Of government
tonnage for operation in the New Or
leans-Brazil trade have been removed
former Commissioner Sutteraof the
shipping board announces. The action
was taken, Notwithstanding the refusal
Of the board to allocate ships to the
United States Maritime and Develop
ment company Of Detroit.
On the protest of the Mississippi
Shipping company, Mr.. Sutter explain
ed, the board refused to allocate ships
to the Detroit company. But, on March
3, he adds, the board by resolution
gave the Detroit company the stand
ing of an operator, which would enable
1t to apply for government ships, upon
the showing that they will not be op-
Grated in competition with established
routes.
The boards plan, Mr.. Sutter declar.
ed, is to build up the shipping in the
gulf ports for the benefit of the Mis-
sissippi valley section, so that products
originating there will have a more di'
rect route to the foreign markets than
by way Of Atlantic ports.
"The solution of the American mer'
chant marine problem" he says, "lies
in the Mississippi valley, where ITO per
cent of the country's foreign commerce
originates"
Detroit and St. Louis capital Is al
ready interested in the operation OF
government ships out of gulf ports, Mr.
Sutter asserted, and the board hopes
to dispose of a number Of its vessels
through creating a market for ships
in the Mississippi valley.
ALLEGATION of sufficient tonnage to
gulf ports, he said, would enable pro
ducers as far north as the Great Lakes
to send their goods by rail or inland
water routes to the gulf and thereby
avoid the rail shipment to the Allan
tic. Development Of this project, ne
adds, would be pushed, but definite ao
ton would probably await the appoint
ment of the new shipping board by
President Harding.

RATES ON COTTON
and BRICK RAISED
INTERSTATE SHIPMENTS IN GEoR-
GIA TO CARRY SAME. FREIGHT
AS INTERSTATE TRAFFIC
FLORIDA Rates ARE HIGHER
Commission Cites Example OF Dis
turbance In Traffic Which 1t Al
Ieses Present Rate Cause

Washington.--Freight rates on cot
ton, cotton linters and brick within
the state Of Georgia fixed by the state
authorities were ordered by the inter
state commerce commission to be rails
ed April % to levels in effect in inter-
state traffic.
Passenger fares were referred to in
the title Of the case heard by the COM
mission, but it developed at the hear
ing that no question was presented
with respect to them.
Rates charged on the commodities
named, the commission held, result
in undue prejudice to shippers OF inter
state traffic, undue preference OF ship
pers of state traffic and in unjust dis.
elimination against interstate COM
merce."
The Georgia commission, following
an announcement by the interstate
commerce commission in 1920 fixing
the rates in state and interstate com
merce permitted a 25 per cent In
crease between points in Georgia on
the classes and on all commodities
except those named. The carriers
application for an increase on these
commodities was denied.
Rates fixed by the state authorities
result in general disturbance OF the
relationship between the Georgia state
and the interstate rates on cotton, the
commission said. AS an example OF
such disturbance the commission cited
the following:
"The rates from Georgia points to
the ports Of Savannah and Brunswick,
Ca, are 25 per cent higher for export
or interstate movement beyond than
for local shipment, the result being
that cotton is now billed locally to the
ports that otherwise would be ship
ped at the interstate or export rate
Railroads in Florida were ordered
by the interstate commerce commits
sion to raise state rates to the Level
in effect in interstate traffic, effective
April IS. 80
The commission also held that; rates
crarped IN state trafrtc fT Ffoffda
resulted in undue prejudice to ship
pers in interstate traffic, In undue
preference to shippers Of state traffic
and in unjust discrimination against
interstate commerce"
Passengers rates were referred to in
the title of the case, but 1t developed
at the hearing upon which the deci
sion was based, that no question was
presented with respect to them.

GERMAN PROTEST ANSWERED
Premier BRAND Explains How German
Failure To Observe The Treaty
Clauses Sanctions Advance

Paris.-The decisions of the London
reparations conference, the occupation
of Dusseldorf and other German cit
les and the application of the allied
economic penalties on Germany were
approved by the chamber Of deputies
recently by vote that was virtually
unanimous except for the Socialists
and Communists. The vote as Off
cially given out was 491 to &C.
Premier BRAND, replying to former
Minister of Finance Klotz and former
Minister of War Lefevre, who respect
lively insisted upon further light as to
the governments intentions with re-
gard to execution Of the treaty OF Yer
sailles and securing the disarmament
of Germany, took occasion to answer
Germans protest to the league Of ma
tions against the allied occupation
on the ground that it was violation
of the treaty. He called the attention
of the chamber to the fact that at the
same time this protest was sent Ger
many had refused, on the summons Of
the reparations commission, to exc
cute the clause of the treaty calling
for the payment Of twenty billion gold
marks.
Germany" he said, has violated
the treaty in three essential clauses
disarmament, reparation and the trail
of the accused officers. Thus the
sanctions as provided for in the treaty
are applicable and just, as we have
applied them"
The allied commission Of control, he
declared, was working under the ad-
vice of Marshals Wilson and Foch,
and might be depended upon to satisfy
the requirements Of M. Lefevre as to
the disarmament Of Germany.
M. Lefevre said that since he declar.
ed in a previous debate In the cham
ber that Germany was making new
machine gun capable Of shooting fif-
teen hundred bullets a minute its ex.
istence had been proven. The guns
Ahad been found in Koenigsburg, he de-
cla1ed, along with new type OF six
inch scannon, proving that the Germans
place that destroyed under allied con-
troll. He said that material had been
discovered in cellars Of the Spandau
arsenal sufficient to manufacture 5000
field guns.
