county, effective April 1st. Mr.. Row
ell goes into the Dairy Extension
Work under the supervision Of the
authorities at Clemson College. Mr..
Rowell has been in Abbeville for
several years and has done good work
for the farming interests Of the coun-
ty. He built home here and has
made friends who will regret to see
him leave us.
At the last session Of the General
Assembly an appropriation was made
to Keep him here, b.: 80 appropria.
ton was not large enough to pay his
salary, and for that reason he quits
the work. Some effort has been made
to get up the deficit by public sub
scription but this has not materia/
lied.

MRS. SARAH WEINRAUB
BOUND OVER TO COURT

Judge R. S. McComb held a pre-
liminary in the case of Mrs. Sarah
Weinraub charged with Arson last
Friday morning. By agreement the
testimony was taken by a stenogra-
pher, and no decision was reached
until today when the notes of the
stenographer had been transcribed.
Judge McComb holds that the evil
dence taken is sufficient to bind over
the defendant. and therefore holds
her to the next court, when her case
will 60 before the grand jury.
The defendant has been out on
bond since her arrest awaiting a pre-
liminary. She will no doubt make ap-
plication for bail at once, perhaps
late today.

J. Will Morrison, Of Donalds, a
farmer of that section, was lodged
in Jail yesterday by Constable Mil
ford of Donalds. He is charged with
homicide, having shot and killed his
brother B. R. Morrison yesterday.
The two Morrison brothers were
sons of the late Fayette Morrison of
the Donalds section. Last year, after
the death of the father, there was
some trouble about the settlement OF
his estate. The elder Morrison died
leaving a will by which Will Morrison
obtained by far the larger portion OF
the estate of his father. Three Of the
sons including R. R. were disinherit-
ed by the will. -
B. R. Morrison and the other broth
ers who were not provided for in the
will commenced an action to have the
will set aside. Pending the proceed
'ngs, a settlement was effected, which
appeared satisfactory to all parties
But it seems that no good feeling was

OPERATING COST
KEY TO SITUATION
Urse Farmers TO Consider Carefully
---Washington Officials Re-
port on Survey and Give
Wholesome Advice.

Washington, April 3.-Cotton
growers can meet the present price
situation by carefully considering
operating expenses and reducing
them whenever there is likelihood
of obtaining a low yield per acre
the department of agriculture said
in a report today on the results Of a
survey Of basic requirements and
cost Of producing cotton.
By applying last years man and
mule rates for labor and pay then
paid for seed and fertilizer to the
basic requirements in an investiga-
ton in Mitchell county, Georgia,
the average operating expenses Of
cotton production was fixed at ap-
proximately 33 cents pound there.
Man and mule rates for labor in
this investigation and seed and fer
tilizer costs, the department says
constituted 81 per cent. of the total
operating expense, exclusive Of land
rent. Other expenses amounting to
16 per cent of the total included
such items as ginning, manure,
equipment, taxes, insurance and
overhead. Man labor was charged at
the rate of 80 cents an hour, mule
labor 30 cents an hour, seed $81 a
ton and fertilizer at $46 a ton. From
the total cost Of s56.16 an acre, a
seed credit Of $500 was deducted,
making a total net cost Of $52.26.
Asserting that the rates for labor
and seed did not start to decline
until after the 1920 crop had been
produced, the report adds:
"With cotton around IL to 15
cents per pound the returns not on
ly allowed no interest on capital,
but failed to pay operating ex-
penses at going rates for labor and
prevailing prices for agriculture.
With cotton at Is cents per pound
it would require a yield of approx
mately $50 pounds Of lint to cover
operating expenses.
'tThe application of the basic re-
quirements of production in estima..
ing the costs should be of vital inter-
eststo growers at this time," the re-
port adds. "The history of the year
1920 will not be forgotten imme-
diately and will be safe to say that
the lessons of this period will bear
some fruit"

S. G.. DAY in THE
SCHOOLS OF
CITY
At City Schools Last Thursday-The
Programs Not Received in Time
: for Observance on John G.
Calhoun's Birthday.-A
Splendid Program

The last hour Of the school day
Thursday was devoted to the observ-
ance of South Carolina Day exercises
by each grade in the city schools and
by the two literary societies in the
high school.
The proper date for this observ-
ance is March 10, John Calhoun's
birthday, but this year the programs
were not received in time to get
ready for the exercises 50 they were
postponed until Thursday.
"A typical program of the exercises
as carried out is as follows:
Reading-Selection from the
School Law requiring the observance
of South Carolina Day.
Song-"Carolina," Timrod.
Reading-tSouth Carolina"
Story of the Life Of John c. CAL
houn.
Song-"Bonnie Blue Flag"
South Cardinals Part:
In the War Of the Revolution.
In the World War.
Song-"Dixie."
While there was q slight variance
in this program in the different rooms
due to pupils of different ages yet the
above would be a good average of
the various programs given through
ut the schools.
The children were all shown
South Carolina flag and told facts Of
the glorious history of the old Pal
metto State and especially Of the
wonderful part Abbeville County has
had in the states history.
Next March the teachers hope to
be inca new auditorium where they
can celebrate in fitting manner and
will have room so that the parents
and friends can help the pupils in the
exercises.

U. s.. TO INSIST
ON PAYMENT
u. S. Government Insists on Repay.
u,ent Of Principal and Intero.t
by Allies which Amounts to
Ten and u Half Billions

Washington, April 2.-The United
States government will insist that thu
powers associated with it in the war
VITA Germany repay principal and in
terest, their indebtedness Of more
than $4,000, 100000 to this country.
President Harding and his cabinet
discussed the whole question Of for
eign Indebtedness at their meeting
today, and the president disclosed af-
ter the conference that the policy of
his administration is to regard the
foreign loans as a valued asset"
which ultimately must be repaid by
the debtor nations.
This is the first fiat pronouncement
Of the Harding administration Of the
question of the allied Indebtedness.
It refutes permanently all reports to
the effect that the new administra-
tion might agree to cancellation.
The president let it be known fol-
lowing the cabinet meeting today that
the question of the foreign loans
had occupied large part of the dis
cussion, and that while the nature of
the discussion was not to be made
public, it could be stated as the pol
icy of his administration to count
upon repayment of the principal and
interest O.: the vast sums advanced by
this country to the allied governments
during the war. The loans of the
United States to these governments,
exclusive of interest, which has not
been paid, total $s,45o,ooo,ooo, d.
vided as follows.
United Kingdom, $4,210,00o,000.
France, 2,75o,00o,ooo.
Italy, s1,s25, ,O00,o 900.
Russia, $190,000,0000.
Belgium, s4OO,oOO,0o0.
Serbia and Jugo-Slavia, 100000
900. ..... .,....... -. .-
Other allies, s175,Ooo,0oo.
Accrued interest on these loans al
ready amounts to over $1,000, 900,
900, which, brings the total of allied
Indebtedness to date up to ten and a
half billions. No payments of interest
have been received by the United
