Fine Pastures Found
In Sumter County

Tabor, J. F. ackson and r. F. Win
slow constituted a party of visitors
here Tuesday in the interest of de-
ter. county; Mr.. Tabor, represen-
tative of the state college of agricul-
ture at Athens, visited three farms,
in company with the others, where
he made addresses upon the value
of various pasture grasses most
ton. Farms visited were those of
oliver & Barrow. in the Twenty
seventh district, and Sam P. Wise
and Thomas L. Bell, in the Fifteenth
district.
At the oliver & Barrow farm was
shown a fifteen-year-old pasture,
of any kind. This pasture is filled
with lespedeza and carpet grass and
dallis grass, which provides contin-
uous grazing throughout the year.
Specimens of these grasses were col
lected by Messrs. Tabor, jackson
and Winslow and displayed to the
of each being separately explained.
George G. Marshall, county farm de-
monstration agent, who arranged the
trip, accompanied the party and as.
sisted in the demonstration. All OF
the farmers present are engaged in
the cattle industry, and many Il
them are growing permanent pas
lures.
Lott Jennings, farmer, who ac-
companied a party of Georglans on
a farm inspection tour through Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and other
states last year, attended the de-
monstration and was enthusiastic in
praise for the pastures visited. The
Oliver & Barrow pasture, he sald,
excelled visits to many prize cattle
farms of the middle west.

VIEWS ON TARIFF
GIVEN COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Views of
business men on the American Yalua-
ton provisions In the FordMey tariff
bill were given the senate finance
committee and support and condem-
nation of the plan came alternately.
The days testimony marked sharply
the line between the domestic manu-
facturer and the importer the for
mer supporting and the latter de-
nouncing the proposition to change
the basis of duties assessment.
The committee was told by Jacob
Dejong, a New York manufacturer,
that the claims of the plans oppo-
nents that it would result disastrous
ly to most lines of import was un-
tenable. He declared that, on the
basis of last years imports, less than
one billion dollars worth of the COM
modities brought in would be ma
terially affected.
tured rubber and cotton were cited
as commodities whose American val
uation is approximately the world
valuation. Mr.. Dejong contended that
these imports would bear duties only
slightly higher under the American
valuation than under the present syS-
tenn of levying taxes IN the foreign
price.
Thomas H. Eddy. of Marshall Field
and company, Chicago, declared that
the domestic valuation plans would
destroy, partially at least. the i'm
porting business because of the un-
certainty which would follow it's APP
plication. He told the committee that
the methods of determining value re-
CURED by the bill meant that the
mans opinions you'd establish the
tariff rates, and so far as his firm
was concerned, would mean that all
appraisals would be appealed for
settlement to customs boards or the
courts.
Embroidery importers, Thomas N.
Mulane, of New York, representing
fifteen firms, declared would suffer
materially from the lack of knowl-
edge as to what their American sell
ing prices would be under the demo-
cratic plan of assessing duties.
Hearings on the tariff will be side
tracked by the committee Temporal
lilly tomorrow while it considers .ur-
Their the subject of funding the ALI
lied debts. Chairman Penrose said
he hoped to resume hearings on the
tariff Friday

cupation tax bill the section authorize

In many counties the work of the

He indicated that he feels in SYM

President Harding
To Be Urged to Visit
Atlanta and Rome
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, July 28.-Strong
pressure will be brought to bear
upon President Harding to visit At
lanta and Rome when he goes south
late in October. The president has
practically accepted an invitation to
go to Birmingham, an invitation
having been extended by Senator
Underwood.
Today Senator William J. Harris
and Representative Gordon Lee
called at the White House to urge
the president to visit both Atlanta
and Rome on his way to or from
Birmingham. The Northeast Geor-
gia fair meets in Rome in October,
tation for the president to go to At
lanta since the Henry w Grady an
niversary celebration, which he was
unable to attend. At that time the
president said he hoped to get to
Georgia this fall or winter.
Senator Harris and Representative
Lee did not wait to see the president
today, as they were informed by
Secretary Christian that Mr.. Har-
ding would not decide upon his
from New England. The president
will leave for New England for a
weeks rest tomorrow. and when he
gets back will take various invita-
lions under consideration. 1t is
possible that he will find himself
able to accept both the Atlanta and
Roma invitations, but there will be
no decision for week or more.

NORTHCL|FFE DAZED
BY OUR PROHIBITION

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Lord
Northcliffe, famous English pub
Usher, still is dazed by the wonders
of American prohibition.
In an interview today, he f1icked

of international scope, and address,
ed himself to the task of trying to
find out what prohibition prohibits.
Lord Northcliffe was in extreme
decollete. The well-known English
cold tub had just been taken, and
he sat back in a large stuffed chair.
He was informally attired in a dark
blue dressing gown.
what is your mission here% he
was asked.
The Northcliffe brow wrinkled as
in deep thought.
what is this prohibition? When
and what does it prohibit?" he que
ried in deep perplexity.

country went rstitutionally dry.
He had expected to find a Sahara.
While not passionately attached to
liquor in any form, he does like a
little wine with his meals. . u.
Now while we were dining in
New York, we ordered some wine
of drinks were on tap. I paid nc
attention to it until later it sud-
denly came to me that the United
States was dry. That is, 1 remer-
bered the reports that drink was
prohibited in the United States.

ton. SO far I haven't found it.
Everywhere I go I'm offered drink
Everybody I talk with seems to have
it or knows where to get it.
MY cab driver in New York-he
makes about $50 a Week-told me he
had no trouble getting his whisky.
I've met other men of moderate
means and they had their whisky :"
Northcliffe listened attentively as
the MISREPRESENTATION turned into in
prohibition had wiped out the saloon
and placed good whisky beyond the
reach of the laborer, thus prov
ing blessing for at least the class
that can't afford to pay SIS for a quart
Of good whisky, and by sad expert
ence had learned the lethal quality
of bootleg whisky.
But they all get their drink" ex-
pastulated Northcliffe, as he re-
gained his slipping lounging robe.
mo matter where l go I see it
and-Smell it. It's beyond me. So
far have been unable to see where
and what prohibition prohibits"
AS is the custom in England,
when an Englishman is perturbed he
writes letter to the Times.
AS Lord Northcliffe is publisher
of that newspaper as well as other
influential publications in England,
he probably will air his own views
in the columns of the Times.
