GOV. MANNING BRINGS BACK :
SOME COTTON RESOLUTIONS

Columbia, April 19-Former Gov
ernor Richard I. Manning, president
of the American Import and Export
Corporation, has returned from, New
Orleans where he attended a confer.
ence of bankers held to discuss the
cotton situation. Yesterday he made
public a resolution adopted by the d.
rectors of the Federal international
Banking Company at a meeting held
in New Orleans last week urging a.
heavy reduction in cotton acreage.
The resolution follows in full:
Whereas, the very large amount;
of cotton grown last year and previ-
Gus years now estimated at. from
eight to ten million bales, to be car
ried over into the new cotton year
beginning August 1st has had a de-
pressing effect and is still holding
down the price of cotton, and:
"Whereas, from present indica"
tons it is believed that the greatly
reduced buying powers of the world
will not be able to consume much, if
any more cotton the coming year
than consumed this year, and:
"Whereas, the only apparent hope
to maintain the price for the present
stock, and to secure a fair price for
the next crop, is to produce a small
crop this year:
"Now Therefore Be It Resolved by
the Directors of the Federal Interna
tional Banking Company that we be-
lieve the efforts to induce the cotton
planters to reduce the acreage in
cotton about to be planted, is now Of
paramount Importance to the South,
and that we, believe the reduction.
should not be less than thirty7five.
per cent, and:
"Resolved Further, that a copy of
this resolution be mailed to each
stockholder of our company with the
request that they use their influence
at once to secure all the cooperation
necessary, looking to the production
of a new crop, which together with
the carry over, will command a rea-
sonable price"

. The chief attraction at the Opera
House NEXT Friday night bellies it,

"HeEotrope," and n might from
the title infer a sw~eet-scented light
romance. Instead, the picture un-
folds a vigorous, thrilling story of
father-lovs and the sacrifice made
by a regenerated convict to save the
happiness Of his daughter.
"Heliot:ope Harry" so called be-
cause of his fondness for the scent
of h~eliotrope, is serving a life SEN
tence in a penitentiary. Learning
from a pal that his daughter who be-
lieves herself an orphan is about to
be married to a rich young man and
that his INSCRIPTIONS wife is plan
ming to blacllmail| the happy pair,
"Hehotrope" pleads for his release
from prison to protect the girl. It Is
finally granted, on condition that no
harm will befall his wife at his
hands. :
The ex-convict embarks upon a
shrewd scheme Of intimidation that
soon has the adventures shrinking
with terror and at his mercy. Then,
by a final heroic act, he forever
eliminates the wicked woman from
being a sinister menace to his
daughters happiness. How this is
accomplished makes one Of the
greatest thrills ever shown on the

ECONOMIC EQUALITY.

State ,mcome-tax figures as pub
lished continue to illustrate a re.
mdiarkaBle' development in the earning
capacity Of women. Of the sos,5o4
individuals returning incomes Of
from $1,000 to $4,000 for 1919,
1884 were single women not heads
of families, and 2o,2os unmarried
women filed returns as heads. Of
families. Of the total of 746,ooo per-
sons making returns, the single male
not the head of a family had an aver
age income of $2,459, while the av-
erage income Of the single female
with no dependents was 1884 and
the average income of the male head
of a family was $2,s57.
Thus the average income of the
unmarried female taxpayer came
within s65 of equalling that of the
unmarried male, while it fell short
by only $46S, or a little nor than
the exemption allowed for two chill
dren, of that received by men who
have assumed the obligations of mar
rage.
No doubt these conditions are Pc
culiar to New York and are due
largely to the fact that the city which
contains approximately half the total
population of the State offers excep.
tional rewards for feminine talent
attracting to it women Of unusual
capacity from all quarters. But re.
garded with these reservations they
throw an interesting light on the tru.
ly astonishing progress of the weak
er" sex toward economic equality
with man. .
1t may be left to sociologists to
say what effect this larger earning
power Of women has on their attitude
toward marriage and the responsible.
ties Of family life and as respects the
encouragement of habits of luxury
and extravaganza. But even those

BIG HAPPINESS IS
FILLED WITH ACTION

"Big Happiness contains theme
so real and vital that it will find a

noted director on the eve of the COM

special showing Dustin Farnum, the
'man's man" of the screen in his first
great picture for this company. The
picture will be seen at the Kenworthy
Theatre tonight and Tuesday.
"Since the beginning of time exis-

struggle" Mr.. Campbell added. "In
Big Happiness there is the tremen-
dous struggle of three persons, twin
brothers-un1ike except in face and

ssThe girl married to one brother
to save her father from finapcial dis

victim of her husbands lust for gold,
which causes him to ask his brother
to take his place on the night of their

does not realize the seriousness of the

scheme.

GIVEN NEW LAW CODE
Samoan Statutes Revised Along
American Lines.
Big Contrast to Old System Of the Ma
tives, Which Has Been in Force
for Many Years.

Page Page, American Samoa.-A
new code of laws based on American
statutes has developed in American
Samoa from the disturbance of last
year which eliminated In the suicide
OF the governor, Commander Warren
]. Terhune.
The revised laws, drawn by Capt.
Waldo Evans, the new governor, and
Judge A. NJ Noble and submitted to
| the native chiefs, mark an interesting
change from the early laws provided
for the Samoans.
/ When in 1900 the first secretary OF
native affairs, Judge Gurr, asked the
native rulers of the Samoan villages
to submit laws TO him for recon-
mendation to the first governor, he
received from various villages a copy
of the ten commandments of the Bible.
This was accompanied with the sug-
gestion that penalties for their VIOLA
ton should consist of a fine in the
shape Of a hog and a barrel of beef.
These recommendations were not
adopted as whole, for such penalties
would have resulted in every offense
paving the way for a feast In the vii
iage. This, officials decided, would
prove too much of a temptation for
the natives.
1t is the custom Of the Samoans, and
was then, that when any Offense is
complained Of and the offender not
known, for the native pastor, or native
magistrate, to compel each person in
the village to declare his or her in
nocence by oath on the Bible.
On one occasion some church money
was stolen from the box of Samoan
pastor, where it had been placed for
safe-keeping. The native pastor i'm
mediately went from house to house
with Bible, swearing in every in
mate but everyone declared innocence.
He, however, forgot to take the oath
himself, and the thief remained mys-
terry.
Some years afterward the pastor be-
came seriously i'll and his relatives
were called together. Having made
certain that they were all in forgiv-
ing mood, he then confessed that he |
was the culprit. Under the circum-
stances his people felt they could not
but forgive him. Thereupon 1t was
astonishing how rapid was his recov-
cry.

UNSUITABLE SAFE FOR SHIPS
