made quite clear as the contrary is
suggested in view of the fact that in
his speech to the Irish Parliament he
followed the invariable constitutions
practice relating to speeches from the
throne in Parliament"

REPLIES TO MR.. BYRNES
The President Declared Health
Service Reports and Private
Advices Justified Opinion
That a Thorough Investiga-
ton Should be Made, No De-
sire to Exaggerate

Washington, July 29.-Replying to
charges that the Public health service
had exaggerated pellagra and fam
ine'' conditions in the south Pres1-
dent Harding declared in letter to
Representative Byrnes of South Caro-
lima that official reports indicated to
the contrary and the government in
vestigation of the situation would go
forward.
The President wrote in response to
a letter in which Byrnes had char
acterized any report that famine> or
plague existed in South Carolina as
utter absurdity'' that both health
service reports and private advices
from the south certainly justified the
opinion that thorough investigation
should be made.
''You may be assured" wrote the
President that the last thing in the
administration mind is to exagger-
ate the seriousness or to do anything
that would cause undue alarm. Eff
forts are being made merely to de-
velop facts that will show the proper
course to pursue.
The President quoted a telegram
from Chas. O'Herrin, editor of the
Spartanburg, S. c., Herald, declaring
although there was nothing alarming
in, the South Carolina situation he
felt the public health service was on
the right track and should continue
it's investigation

SUCH ARE THE REPORTS
The Farm Property In Halifax
Sold at Top Notch Prices,
and Later Land Values
Slumped. Want Legislators
to Devise Some Relief for
Buyers of State Property
(By Max Abernethy)

Raleigh, July 29.-Buyers of the
States farm property in Halifax
county are today represented as max
ing fresh efforts to surrender their
claims if the State officials will call it
square.
It has been an open secret for
long time that many of the bidders
on the property were finding it ex-
tremely difficult to meet the payments
which are falling due in one, two,
three and four year installments.
That the 1921 Legislature was not
called upon to come to the aid of
those citizens who in 1919 bargain
ed for large tracts of the farm by
accepting the land as semi-gift
surprised many. The buyers were
then said to have been willing to
surrender to the State all claims
upon the property if the State would
wipe the slate clean. There were
too many matters of greater import
ance, however, to hold attention and
the legislators finished their busi-
ness here without taking official cog
nizance of the Halifax sales.
With Governor Morrison calling a
special session of the Legislature to
give relief to the municipalities in
December there is now talk heard at
the capital that some plan will be
decided upon to rescue the buyers of
the State property from financial en-
barrassment. Just what the nature
of the relief wanted or expected of
the legislators does not appear. One
suggestion is THAT the prison officials
return the notes to the buyers with
all money paid thereon with the
exception of the initial payment,
which was for one-fourth of the
total amount. The State of course
would then have the land back on
it's hands.
Reason for the difficulty is easily
seen. The Halifax property was sold
at top-notch prices and was auction
ed off to the highest bidders to the
tunes of brass band. Nobody doubts

would have in 1920 or 1921. The
terms offered seemed attractive anG

had land values not slumped. TODAY
money is worth more than in years
Nobody knows it better than the
folks who try to secure loans from
the banks and the Halifax farm buy
ers are well up in the front of this
list
Not all of the persons interested il
the sales are North Carolinians. The
sale attracted outsiders, and it wa:

Communications Between the

Conference is Discouraged
In the United States.

Washington, July 29.-It was in
dicated today that the United States
would reject any suggestion for a
separate parley with any of the pow
ers invited to participate in the con-
ference on limitation of armament
and discussion of the far Eastern
questions. There was an intimation
that at least one of the nations con-
cerned had suggested the advisable
ity of such a partial conference.
Secretary Hughes continued today
his official silence both on the newer
phase of interchanges between gov
ernments and as to suggestions that
a preliminary conference be held.
1t has been made clear in official
circles that no real benefit can come
from such a performance
Communications between the pow
ers as to the date for the conference
and its program are proceeding and
such suggestions as to a preliminary
conference that may have come have
met discouraging reception.
If a suggestion for parley on the
part of conferees has been or is made
it is known the United States would
regard it as discourtesy to those
not invited to attend and one that
might well arouse suspicious of pow
ers left on the outside.
