Again Demands Apology.

Augusta, Sept. 4.-Judge Henry
G.. Hammond, of the Augusta cir
cult of superior court, today Jointly
addressed to Gov. R. A. Cooper, OF
South Carolina, and Gov. Hardwick, OF
Georgia, letter in which he reiter-
ated his stand on the matter of the
alleged invasion of Georgia by a
South Carolina mob on August II
last. The Augustan again declares
that the South Carolina executive
should formally apologize to Geor.
gia.
The letter ridiculed suggestion
made by Governor Hardwick that
Judge Hammond identify one or
more members of the mob before
South Carolina be asked to deliver
mob members up for, Georgia justice.
why not ask me to identify the
angels in heaven above or the de-
mons down under the sea-" the jurist
asked.
The letter was written in response
to a statement from Governor Coop
er, made public several days ago,
which declared Judge |Hammond's
demand "was absurd

gusta in the early morning of Au-
gust II in the effort to procure c.

COOPER REPLIES TO GA. GOV.
Offers to Honor Requisition for Men,
bers Of the Mob.


Columbia, Sept. 8. - Governor
Cooper has replied to the letter from
Gov. Hardwick, of Georgia, in which
the Georgia Executive forwarded the
demand of Judge Hammond, of Au-
gusta, for an apology from the state
of South Carolina to the state OF
Georgia, for the acts of the mob
which recently raided the Augusta
Jail in search of Jessie Gappins and
C. O. Fox, wanted in Columbia,
in connection with the killing of a
taxi-driver.
I'm your letter to Judge Hammond
you correctly expressed my attitude, y
writes Gov. Cooper, "and I wish to
assure you that if any person either
in the state of Georgia or South Caro-
lima can identify anyone who was a
member of the party which made an
attack upon the jail at Augusta, and
requisition is made for his extradi-
ton to the state of Georgia, it would
be promptly honored.'
Regarding the position of Judge
Hammond, Governor Cooper says:
eff 1 thought for a moment that the
state of Georgia entertains the same
views expressed by Judge Hammand,
I would feel that the State of South
Carolina would have cause for Of
fense. His position, it seems to me,
is so utterly absurd on its face as to
make a reply or comment unneces-
harry"
"Two or three months ago we had
a lynching in the county of McCor-
mick, which borders on the Savan-
nah, and it was reported that great
many people who composed the mob
in that instance were citizens of Geor-
gia. 1t never occurred to me that
the sovereign state of Georgia had
invaded the jurisdiction of South
Carolina and violated it's law.
II mention this incident to show
the utter absurdity of Judge Ham
mond's position. 1t is to my mind
somewhat remarkable that a per-
son who holds the high office of judge
of the superior court of the state Of
Georgia does not apparently under
stand the meaning ofathe law which
refers to an armed invasion of one
sovereign state by another"

Gradually, antique dealers saw
possibilities in white house china,
and in the copying of it. So many
stores in Washington were selling
authentic" white house plates by
Mrs. Roosevelt's time, that she put a
stop to the white house china sales.
The design of, the Roosevelt state
dining set was patented, SO that it
could not, like other historic sets, be
copied in cheap ware for general sale.
The copying became nuisance in the
time of President Hayes, when the
most elaborate dinner set ever made
for the white house was designed.
This was a pictorial set, each piece
bearing a scene, or, some animal, bird
or fish. The idea was to represent the
flora and fauna Of every state. The
china was of beautiful quality and
the designs we're artistic, but when
they were copied in cheap china and
sold, the Hayes dishes lost the indi-
viduality which was their main
charm.
With white house china designs so
much copied that many people owned
articles they thought genuine, with
the historic white house scattered
at the ends of the country by sales:
and with no systematic records kept
of the articles left in the executive

UNEMPLOYMENT is
GROWING SERIOUS
IN GREAT BRITAIN

London, Jan. 31-British labor has
gained a great advance in wages as
well as a further shortening of work
ing hours during 1920 but the new
year begins with a rising tide OF un-
employment.
Increases in wages during 1920
have amounted to nearly $5,000,O0o
and affected 7,457,OOO workers.
4 labor correspondent of the Liv-
erpool Post says, however, that ut
is probably modest estimate to say
that the whole of these wage in
grasses have been swept away by un-
employment and under-employment.
For example, the textile workers to
the number of 1,053,00O received
in the earlier months Of the year,
advances in wages totaling $780,
800 pound week. The greater num-
Der of mills are now running only
three days a week and it is we'll with
IN the mark to put the loss from un-
ser-employment at 100000 pounds
a week.
an the engineering and ship
building industries 100000 work
ers received advances to the amount
of 9429,5OO a week but here again
the advance has been more than lost
by unemployment and under-employ-
ment. Dock workers have had the
same sorry experience, and the les
son which it carries is that in CON-
petitive trades the wage-earning
power can only be maintained on an
output of corresponding value
During the year 553,7OO workers
have obtained an aggregate reduc-
ton of 2,O71,2OO hours a week
Although there have been more
industrial disputes than in 1919, the
number of working days lost by
strikes shows a diminution. There
were 1868 disputes during the year
1920, involving 100000 workers
and 26, 6,567,O00 days were lost, the
latter being swelled by the coal
strike in October and November.

Tillman and Roosevelt Friends

John Armstrong Chaloner, of
New York, is delivering lectures in
New York on the Lunacy Laws of
the State and with his "sub-con-
scious mind" is receiving and deliv-
ering messages from those who have
passed on. The New York Times of
Monday has the following which will
be of interest to South Carolinians.
The messages, presumably, come
from Heaven:
Theodore Roosevelt was next,
and the isub-conscious mind an
nounced that Colonel Roosevelt was
glad his name had been mentioned
and that he was now on friendly
terms with his old political enemy,
Benjamin R. Tillman. Anything he
could do to help in altering the hu-
man laws Colonel Roosevelt express
ed himself as willing to do, and
didn't mind being called by the au-
dience if it helped"

HOPE TO TIGHTEN
e., PROHIBITION LAW
Flat Jail Sentence For First Ofense
Seize Every Drop

Washington, Feb. 1.-Prohibition
leaders in congress are hoping to
tighten up the Volstead law.
They are planning new legisla-
tion to provide flat Jail sentence
for the first offense of selling
liquor without giving the courts the
optional right of imposing a fine.
Other changes being discussed
among the prohibition leaders relate
to the search and seizure clause so
as to reach the home brew and to
make more sweeping the present
law under. which person buying
liquor may be punished equally with
the person selling it.
Confiscation of every drop of
liquor held by citizens regardless as
to when or how it was acquired is al
so being urged. This would legalize
seizure of all stocks held in private
cellar or a safety deposit vault. OBJ
lection to that, however, has been
made by some dry leaders on the
ground that little such liquor finds
it's way into channels of bootleg
trade and that it won't be long be-
fore all such liquor will be used up.
Unless a pending bill, which
would permit federal commissioners
to try minor liquor cases, is passed
proposed amendment to the law
would take care of this. Federal
court dockets are now badly con-
gested with Volstead violations and
government officials have reported
change of procedure necessary.
The big fight of amendment will
start with the opening of the new
session in April, according to dry
leaders. They say they have enough
votes in the house now to put
through any added restrictions they
might desire, but that there is not
enough time left.
Meanwhile Chairman Volstead of
the house judiciary committee on
whose shoulders will fall the bulk of
revising, is waiting word from pro-
hibition enforcement officers as to
suggestions. for making the law bull
let proof. He wants the advice of
the men charged with the, breaking
up of the outlaw traffic.

Washington, Jan. 90.-Moving of
the personal effects of President
elect Harding and Mrs. Harding in

from Marion Sunday to attend to

The Harding house is to be sold

been preserved to supplement the
articles with which the White
House is furnished.
, 1t was upon the invitation of
Mrs. Wilson, extended some time
ago, that Mrs. Harding decided to
make ready in advance for the
change. An antique settee, several
chairs, heirloom pictures, and some
rare china were among the articles
chosen to be carried into the White
House.
