GALL NEE TING
FOR TOMORROW
,CUnrIN JED FROM PAGE oNhI


| am unable to say just how the mat
ter Will be taken up, but the board
members undoubtedly will outline a
basis OF negotiations tomorrow in
preparation tor the conference with
the brotherhood leaders Thursday"
The kilograms summoning the
heads of the four brotherhoods and
the switchmen's union were sent out
DN ". h. McMenimen, labor member
of the board, at the request of Judge
Barton, who was in Washington con-
ferring with the president.
The chairman remained in confer
ence with. the president until late yes
terday, their conclusion resulting in
the summons to the labor leaders. No
liked plan was laid down in the con-
ference, but opinions of board men,
beers coupled with the announcement
of the public group in Washington
Sunday, indicated that the following
would be the proposals taken up IN
Thursdays conference:
Immediate suspension of the strike
order pending further negotiations
looking 10 a settlement.
Use OF the brotherhoods' influence
to torestall strike orders by any other
labor organizations now considering
walkout.
Two Points Left Open
Proposal of a platform on which
final settlement might be reached, TO
include these points; with the provis-
ion that there will be no strike.
Withdrawal for definite period OF
the proposed request by the roads for
further wage decreases.
Immediate reduction of freight
rates.
This leaves open the two. points
said by the train service men to be
paramount. One is the question of
time and the other is cancellation or
revision of rules and conditions. High
labor leaders have been insistent that
these two points form the real bone
of contention, although the brother
hoods strike vote was taken on the
July 1 wage reduction.
Just how the labor board proposes
to get around these two stumbling
blocks was not made clear.
Il understand the interstate COM
merce commission has a number OF
important rate reduction cases on
hand, on which it will act Immediate
w. Judge Earton explained. That
will give us something to work on. OF
course, the interstate commerce COM
mission has no jurisdiction on wage
questions

THE NEW JUSTICE

Several candidates have come for
ward to make their claims for the
vacant justiceship in the Supreme
Court. Justice Hydrick's successor
will be selected by the General AS
semb:y now in session, and the men,
bers are being urged to support this
and the other man. The people of the
state, we take it, have no interest in
the matter except to see that a proper
man is elevated to the bench.
A man who sits upon the Supreme
Court should be man of unimpeach-
able character. He should be honest
arI s.2ould have the confidence of
his fellows. He should be a man of
big heart and big mind. All of the
candidates, perhaps, may lay claim to
these requirements. But there is YET
another thing equally as indispensa-
BILE as these, and that is that the mar

DRESS MODEST IN CAPITAL
Washington Promenade Is Minus the
Chopped-Off Modes. -.

From the Washington Star.
According to many senatorial wo-
men, who have travelled the earth to
it's length since congress adjourned
last spring, the American capital
shows the most conservative and
, modest gowned feminine promenade
in the cultured world. Walk down
Connecticut avenue any Sunday
shortly after noon when the many
churches situated nearby are dis
charging their congregations, and so
few of the ultra sort will be seen that
they will not make an appreciable
fraction of the whole.
Now, in Paris, one may see most
extraordinary sights, such as exceed
ingly brief skirts of cloth edged with
heavy fur, with a loose coat of the
same with very high collar, yet the
sleeves chopped off above the elbow
and trimmed with the same fur as the
collar and the edge of the skirt. The
arms are left perfectly bare, not even
gloves tempering the mind, but null
titude of bracelets, and always a
jaunty cane is carried. 1t may be the
blasts Of winter do not chap and
burn as they would here, but certain
ly no belle of Washington is brave
enough to risk her beauty at the din
ner and dance by following such a
silly fashion in the day.
Yet these sleeveless coats are a
rage and all the queens of fashion
on the continent are following the
vogue. A lovely photograph of Lady
Irene Curzon which has been receiv-
ed here shows her in velvet suit OF
thi" make with practically no sleeves
at all, but rather a deep fur band,
with the same deep fur cut in scol-
Ions at the hem of the abbreviated
skirt. Now, though some rather start
ling creations are seen indoors, moth
ing so extraordinarily i'll adapted for
winter wear has appeared on the
Washington streets.

CORONER'S JURY WAITS
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Coroner of Florence Says That Yer
dict Will Not Be Rendered
For Two Weeks.

Florence, Jan. 18.-Coroner w.
Marvin Smith tonight returned from
the scene of the tragedy near Pamp-
lico in which L. S. Bigham is believ-
ed to have shot and killed his mother,
Mrs. L. H. Bigham, his sister, Mrs.
Marjorie Black, and her two adopted
children. Leo and. John McCracken,
and then to have gone into the woods
and SHOT himself to death.
The coroner declared there were no
new developments. The jury has post
poned rendering verdict for two
weeks, pending the discovery of ad-
ditional evidence and will make, a
thorough investigation, especially in
the light of the belief on the part
of some people that L. S. Bigham,
whose body was found in the woods
apparently a suicide, was not the
perpet1ator of the terrible crime but
that some one else killed the men,
bers of the Bigham family including
L. S. Bigham' himself. 1t will be re-
called that there were no eye wit
nesses and that Edmund Bigham, a
brother, was the first on the scene.
The only development of any in
terest in the case today is the report
that Mrs. Marjorie Black came to
Florence last week and made her
will leaving all of her property to
L. S. Bigham. The attorney who
drew the will was not in the city
today and the report could neither
affirmed nor denied.
All the dead were buried this after
noon in the same grave which had
been dug in the graveyard of Beulah
Baptist church at Hyman, which is
about two miles from Pamplico. 1t
is stated that there was a great
crowd at the funeral which was con-
Quoted by the regular pastor of the
church.

AS TO ACREAGE REDUCTION

Columbia, Jan. 1S.-The pledge
which each farmer is being asked to
s..gn requires that he mot plant in
cotton more than one-third of the
lands cultivated" by him during the
year 1920 and not that he cut his
cotton acreage in half, according to
a statement issued yesterday by the
South Carolina Division of the Am
erican Cotton Association. 1t has
been figured that if all of the farm
ers will agree not to plant more than
one-third of their cultivated lands in
cotton, the total acreage reduction
will be around so per cent.
There are many farmers who have
not been planting over one-third of
their cultivated lands in cotton for
the past several years" says the state
ment issued by the association. "The
pledge, of course, does not require
that they make any further cut in
their cotton acreage unless they de-
sire so to do. There are many farm
ers, however, who have been planting
nearly all of their lands in cotton and
the great majority of them have been
planting at least SO per cent. The
committee which considered the mat
ter very carefully found after E
study of the situation that if all far
mers would agree to plant only one
third of their lands in cotton that thu
reduction of acreage over the bel
would aggregate SO per cent.

the farmers of South Carolina ar
signing the pledges unhesitatingly

cial disaster to the South and while
it might seem at first blush that to
plant only one-third of their lands in
cotton would entail a hardship on
them, little study of the situation
convinces them that the hardship
would not be as great as to plant
more in cotton and be able to get
nothing for it next fall.
"The following figures which have
been prepared by the cotton acreage
reduction committee at Memphis,
Tenn, will, we believe convince
every one that drastic acreage re-
duction is an absolute necessity:
"The ten-year average amount of
American cotton on hand unspun at
the beginning of each fiscal year is
100000 bales.
"At August 1, 1920 beginning
present fiscal year, according to Hes
ter, the unspun American cotton on
hand was 6,O86,O00.
1.-The probable amount of American
cotton on hand unspun on July 81,
1921, as now indicated, will be more
than 100000 bales or 100000
bales larger than any amount ever
carried over before.
"The greatest consumption of all
kinds of cotton ever known in single
year was less than 21,0O0,O0O bales.
"The greatest consumption Of
American cotton ever known in n
single year was less than 100000
bales.
"The ten-year average consump-
ton of American cotton prior to the
great war was 100000 bales.
"The ten-year average consump-
ton of all kinds of cotton. including
American, prior to the great war was
17,5oo,ooo bales.
Consumption of all kinds of cot
ton 1919-1920, United States census
figures, was 1881, 900 bales.
"An American crop of 100000
bales in 1921 would indicate world
supply of all kinds Of cotton, includ-
ing American, of 29,0O0,O00 bales.
THE world carry-over may reach
total of, or may exceed 100000
bales.
"The world during the present fs'
cal year is now likely to consume
more than 100000 bales"

elected should be one learned in
he law"
The usual claim is being made just
now that one of the circuit judges,
after the long and arduous duties
performed on the bench, should be
elevated to the Supreme Court. This
claim is without merit. There is moth
ing in the service on the circuit
bench which disqualifies man to sit
on the Supreme Court. But mansis
not qualified to be a member OF the
Supreme Court simply because he
has been on the circuit bench for a
number of years. There are many
things necessary for a circuit judge
which a Supreme Court justice need
not have. A Supreme Court Justice
need not be a good presiding officer,
as circuit judge should always be.
Common sense is great thing in any
man, but circuit judge is often
called in to decide questions off-hand
and with little assistance from men,
bers of the bar. His common sense,
if he has it, stands him we'll in hand.
If he makes a mistake as to the law,
he will be corrected. He deals with
men as much as with the law. But a
Supreme Court justice deals with abb
stract' legal principles, and these he
y Should know. He must not be good
guesser but good lawyer. He must
be a man inclined to go to the bot
tom of things and to dig out thetruth.
Judge Hydrick was a circuit judge
before he became a Justice of the
Supreme Court, but he was a great
lawyer before he became either.
Without discounting the work of any
man who has been first circuit judge
and who has later been promoted to
the Supreme Court bench, we may say
that the best of the Supreme Court
Justices in our day came from the
ranks of the lawyers of the state.
Nobody will deny that. Everybody
who knows will admit it.
We trust, therefore, when the
members of the General Assembly
come to select the successor to JUS
tice Hydrick they will inquire, not
whether candidate has been on the
circuit bench, or not, but whether or
! not he has shown himself great
lawyer-a man learned in legal prin-
ciples with the character and other
qualities necessary to make great
Judge.
