Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
AS result of recent discussion
with numbcr of authorities on to-
baccO in regard to market demands
this summer in South Carolina, we
feel it our duty to impress upon you
at this time two points:
First. 1t viii be useless waste of
time and money to harvest the lower
plant bed" leaves o" inferior "lugs."
vi course this docs not mean that
none of the lower leaves are desirable
but the cheap, trashy leaves and such
leaves aS. becQmG burnt would best be
LETT IN the field for manure, as we
can not hope for them to bring cost
Of curing and handling. Some think
that such grades will not even get a
"bld' on the warehouse floor. About
this we do not know, but we do know
that such goods, if sold, will only
stand out statistically against the
farmer ana make prices lower next
season.
Second. We get from good sour
ccs that this year it will be absolute
~ necessary for the farmer TO let his
tobacco get ripc before gathering.
me green grades which have been
SEN lh& well IN the past are apt to be
4 drag on the market. These grades
l,''N DS'.Ii IN polltN II! inc past, DUt
the foreign market is in such shape
that YOU can not depend on it, If the
hands on '''croppcrs" pull some green
leaves, Gull them out from the curing
before marketing. At the end of the
season, after having had them bulkcd
down, market these green leaves from
all your curingS.
This information is being distribut-
cd at the request Of the South Caro-
lima Tobacco Association which is
composed of farmers, bankers, mcr-
chants, WarchouSomcn, and buyers
and others, and as our mailing list is
not as full az we should like we want
to ask every one who gets this letter
to try to do all he can to pass on this
information as Nc feel it will mean
thousands Of dollars saved to The
state complied with. The bankers,
mere, ants and warchouscmcn can cs-
pcciallV be Of great service in en-
phasiZing the Importance Of this ad-
vice. Bear in mind that the small
tenant farmer is the one who most
needs this message so try to help us
to get 1t to MIN. The newspapers Of
course will be our most effective
means OF imprcssing these points.
Yours for a successful marketing
season.

Washington, Dec 9.-All the
questions relating to battlesmp
construction, submarines, fcTtifica-
tions and far eastern qrtestions
have been tied together and will
be embodied in a general agree
ment
This is the latest Development In
the armament conference and with
it goes an explanation of the talk
of a four power treaty" or ''alli-
ance" as well as the various steps
that viii be taken in the immed-
late future.
Instead of making a separate
arrangement on the ratio of
strength in battleships, the Japan
ese are being instructed to accept
the American proposal on the IN
derstanding that there will be as
agreement forbidding any increase
in Notifications in the Pacific, an
agreement covering submarines
and auxiliary craft and an agree
ment embOdying the principles that
shall apply TO Chinese and Pacific
problems.
Jap Statesman Talks.
The authority for the foregoing
is Kotaro Motaro Mochizuki, head
of the opposition party in the jap
anese parliament, who by arrange
ment with the japanese embassy
had a long conversation with Pres
ident Harding on Wednesday at the
White house. Since he is not an Of
fetal delegate, Mr.. MOchizuki talks
with less restraint His concep-
ton Of what is ahead in the CON
ference is based of course upon in

WATSON AGAIN
STORM CENTER
IN WASHINGTON
Georgian Threatens
to Slap Army OFF,
GERS Face.

Washington, Dec. 9-The meet
ing of the senate committee inves-
t1gating charges by Senator Wat
son, Democrat of Georgia, that sol
diers had been Illegally hanged in
France, almost broke into a row
today after Senator Watson had
thseatened to slap the face of an
army officer sitting in the audi
ence..
Chairman Brandegee of the COM
mittee. taking hold of the awkward
situation, declared that. no person
in the room should be insulted.
This statement was made just after
Senator Watson walked up close to
Major George D. CUcheu and shak-
ing his finger in his face, exclaim-
ed:
For two pennies / would slap
your facet"
Won't be ~Bulldozed.,
eff he looks at me again that
way I will slap his jaws" the
Georgia senator declared. adding
that he would not remain with the
this bull jawed brute"
Take your seat, Senator Wat
son." Senator Brandegee demand
ed.
III retire first" he replied.
Take your seat or retire." the
chairman said
Chairman Brandegee called for
the sergeant-at-arms and Senator
Watson sat down
Then turning to the Georgia SEN
ator the chairman asked if he
wanted the army officers present
including Walter E. Bethel, General
Pershing's judge advocate general
in France, to retire
YES" Senator Watson replied.
well, get out" said the chair
man, and the army officers retired.
Insulted by Look.
Major Cocheu had not been called
as a witness and sat silent while
Senator Watson was launching a
verbal attack on him. The senator
told the committee that he had been
insulted by the manner in which
the officer had looked at him
There was an exchange between
Mr.. Brandagee and Mr.. Watson e
garding certain conversations re-
Iating to procedure and the pres
ence of army officers while the
Georgia senator was presenting his
witnesses. The exchange became
heated and Senator Watson shout
ed:
Il am not afraid of you"
Nor l of you" the chairman re-
piled, banging the table.
The chairman went on to say that
there had been no disposition in
the minds of the committee to be
unfair to Mr. Watson and that it
was not right for him to impugn
the committees motives.
Excitement Subsidies.
When the excitement had sub
sided Senator Watson announced
that he desired the committee TO
call 63 witnesses whose names he
presented, along with a great vol
ume of letters. There was some in
formal discussion, much milder in
tone than that which preceded the
row. Hearings then were adjourn
ed until 2 O'Clock tomorrow after
noon and the committee held an
executive session
Senator Watson at the resump-
ton of the inquiry today protested
against the decision of the commit
tee to confine the inquiry solely to
the question of hangfngs.
