NOT TO ENCOURAGE
LARGE CROP NOW
RHETT OPPOSES IMMEDIATE
MARKET FOR COTTON
Division of Opinion at Meeting
of Southern Bankers in
Washington
Hugh w. Roberts in The State.

Washington, April 4.-Southern
bankers in their preliminary confer
ence with the war finance corpora
tion today heard R. G. Rhett, presi-
dent of the Peoples National bank Of
Charleston, inject the only topic
which led to subsequent controversy.
Mr.. Rhett declared that it would
be very hurtful to the South were an
immediate market for the consump-
ton of cotton produced. 1t was mis-
point that no help should be extended
until after the planting season be-
cause, he contended, if the price OF
cotton advanced before the new crop
was planted, the new would De as
large as the old.
Senator Pat Harrison OF Mississ-
ippi, following the meeting, declared
that the position Of Mr.. Rhett was uL-
tenable, because if help was delayed
80 days, thousands of people in the
South would be ruined.
Representative W. B. Oliver Of Al
ALBANIA was inclined to agree with hr.
Rhett to the extent that an increase
in the price of cotton prior to the
planting would Influence farmers to
plant more cotton than they other
wise would plant.
Senator N. B. Dial of South Caro-
lima did not take issue with Mr.. Rhett,
but expressed the idea that ais point
should not be unduiy emphasized.
'I was delighted with the meeting"
said Senator Dial. "The attitude OF
the managing director Of the war fl.
nance corporation, Secretary Hoover,
Secretary Mellon, and the governor
of the federal reserve board was in
spring. l was especially pleased
with the suggestion that an agree
ment be reached whereby Germany
could use it's billion dollar credit in
the United States in the purchase OF
cotton. was deeply impressed, also,
with the suggestion of Governor Har-
ding that American bankers obtain
securities of foreign countries, on
long time, and check against them IN
financing the Southern farmer"
Mr.. Rhett in his remarks declared
that he had recently driven over ex-
.tensive South Carolina territory, and
found it all plowed and ready for the
seed, the intimation being that the
farmers were not materially reducing
their acreage. He added, however,
that not more than 40 per cent Of the
fertilizer purchased last spring had
been purchased this spring.

Fright in his head, for if he was ex-
actly right he would never have COM
mitted the crimes that he was convict
ed for" She says he is not guilty OF
all the charges against him, but re-
fuses to be specific. She claims to
know nothing of an alleged former
wife of Vaughn's said to reside IN
Greenville.
She says she will return to South
Carolina if the authorities there want
her, but that she does not want to go
back. She says she has relatives there
whom she never wants to learn OF
her troubles, and pleaded with police
authorities to avoid mentioning her
in the case if possible.
She has broken greatly in the past
few days, say neighbors at Port Tam
pa, who say she was pretty woman.
She is about 80 years old, but with
reddened tear drained eyes, she look
ed more aged today and friends say
she appears not to be her normal
self.
Authorities are exercised over her
parting, "Good-bye dear, I'll see you
in heaven" of this mornings visit
and fear that she may kill herself yet.
Yet they do not feel it is fair to keep
her imprisoned. Her friends have
been cautioned to watch her carefully
and to maintain an especial vigilance
on the day Vaughn leaves here, and
if he is finally executed to watch her
closely that day and those immediate
ly following.

HIGHWAY BOARD
HOLDS MEETING
CONTRACT FOR WHITMIRE AND
CHAP?ELLS ROAD LET
Newell Contracting Company to Build
These Roads at Same Price
Other Important Matters

1 Ocncf important NlaCteES
The highway commission held an
important meeting on Monday and
many matters Of interest to the coun-
ty were taken up and disposed of.
The road question is really the most
! important at this time as it is at all
times.
It was decided to build the road
from Newberry to Chappells and the
route selected is by Deadfall and ST.
verstreet and the Long bridge and
Saunders store, the exact location to
be left of course to the road engineer.
It was decided to build the road from
Newberry to Whitmire, the route to
be left largely to the road engineer
and the most feasible and cheapest
route selected.
The contract for the building Of
these roads was let to the Newell
, Contracting company at the same
price at which the road from Pros
perity to Kinards is being built per
unit. It was decided to build road
from Newberry to the Brown place
nine miles from Newberry whether
that route should be selected as the
cheapest and most feasible to Whit
mire or not.
committee was appointed to look
after bridge at Heller's creek on the
road to Walton.
Mr. McManus of the Southern Bell
company appeared before the commits
sion and stated that in the relocation
of the road from Prosperity to Kin
ards it would be necessary to remove
about 100 telephone poles and Mr..
McManus wanted to know if the COM
mission would not bear part of the
expense. 1t was decided that the
commission would pay one half of the
cost of the labor in moving the poles.
It was decided that condemnation
proceedings would be instituted for
rights of way and top soil whenever
satisfactory arrangement could not
be made with the owner and that
these proceedings could be Nbegun
without another meeting of the COM
mission.
The commission will offer for sale
100000 of road bonds but the New
ell Contracting company will proceed
with the work if the bonds are not
sold and take the bonds, so the work
of building the roads agreed upon
will move right along.
A committee was appointed to take
up with the town of Prosperity the
matter of building the road right
through the town and Of pro rating
the cost with the town and the coun-
ty.-
Mr.. Sanders, the engineer, was au-
thorized to take up with the federal
government the matter Of federal aid
for the road from Prosperity to the
lower steel bridge and it is expected
to build that road also. And the COM
mission will build top soil road out
the Belfast road possibly to the Laur-
ems line and that will be built right
away.
1t looks good now for Newberry to
have some good roads. The road
from Newberry to Pomaria should be
!! included in the list of roads that are
to be built but we understand that
the chaingang has put the road out to
St. Phillips in fine condition and no
doubt will work right on down to
Pomaria.

CORONER PROBES
SUNDAY KILLING
SWYGERT TO MAKE APPLICA'
TlON FOR BAIL
Little Brought Out as Cause fo,
Shooting of DR.. J. c. Nicholson
in Leesville.

Lexington, April 4.-"That j. c.
Nicholson came to his death from
gunshot wounds at the hands of J. c.
Swygert" was the verdict of the cor
oner's jury which sat in the town hall
at Leesville today and inquired into
the tragedy which broke the usual
! Sunday calm of the town of Leesville
Little evidence was adduced at the
inquest today to show the basic trou-
Bile which eliminated in the death in a
Columbia hospital early Monday
morning of one of Leesville's we'll
known physicians. Two eye witnesses
testified that DR.. Nicholson, who had
driven up to Oxner's store, diagonally
across from Swygert's home, for gas
oline for his automobile, was engaged
in conversation with several men
when Swygert came up and the re-
mark, 81 am going to stop you from
telling = lies on me, and running
my family" began firing. Dr.. Mich
olson clinched with his assailant, but
when two shots had been fired his
hold was broken, AMI, reeling, he fell
to the ground, three more shots be-
ing fired.
So far as the evidence brought out
today was concerned there were no
other words spoken by either party
except those quoted above and there
was conflict between the witnesses
as to these exact words.
Five shots in all were fired, all of
which took effect-one in the neck,
one in the abdomen, one in the back
and two in the right leg. DR.. R. H.
Zimmerman of Batesburg who first
attended the wounded man at the
Leesville infrmary, and DR.. S. E.
Harmon, who came to Leesville and
had the injured man removed to Co.
lumbia for treatment, testified as to
the wounds.
All the testimony taken tended to
show that DR.. Nicholson was un-
armed.

WAR FOR THRONE IS REPORTED SCHEDULE.
Custom Makes It Necessary tO|
 Fight for Leadership

Constantinople. Sept. s.-A new war for the possession of the throne of Abyssinia is scheduled for this summer or fall after the rainy season and the war will be fought out on sporting lines. according to pr. Barnum Brown. cura- tor and geologist of the American Mu- scum of Natural History. New York city. who has just completed a long prospecting trip there
 Their fighting custom is to agree to meet at a given time and place and let the contending armies have it out. They fire one round with rifles and then use knives. When one side or the other is victorious the dead are buried, the wounded disposed of in some man. ner and then everybody goes home quite satisfied" explained Dr. Brown.
 Since the death of King Menelik. the throne has been jointly occupied by Queen waizeru Zauditu. (daughter of the late Emperor Menelik) and Prince Ras Taffari Makonnen. a son of q brother-in-law to Menelik. Neither sign any documents but the royal seals are put on to attest their mutual consent. The throne was occupied for a time in 1916 by Prince Lijasso. who appears to be a jolly fellow.
 But he got in trouble by catering to his Mohammedan subjects on the Red Sea. The Coptic Christians, who form the majority of the people and who are said by some to be the lost tribes of Israel. objected and a bat tie was fought wherein the prince was defeated. He escaped to the Dunkali lowlands and nothing was heard from him until the end of 1920. Lately he has been making headway in the high lands where two tribes declared for him and now he is marching in the TiErian country
 ''The Abyssinians are the only who'll Iy independent people in Africa and they let you know it," said Dr. Brown. t'Since they defeated the Italians in the nineties. they have gone around with their heads in the air. Anybody who has killed q white man enjoys special honors. The country is rich is possi- bilities but they don't wish to have it exploited by anyone"
