CLEMSON MAN COMES .
TO TALK COTTON GRADING
E. c. Parker Here to Make Plans to
Keep L. w. Tutt Employed At
Good Work.

Mr.. E. G. Parker, of Clemson Col
lege, department of agriculture, in
charge of government cotton graders
in South Carolina, is in Abbeville to-
day. He is holding conferences with
leading farmers and business men
with a view to arranging a plan
whereby Mr.. L. W. Tutt, the govern
ment cotton grader here, can con-
tinue his work here. -. .'.....'
The arrangement last year was for
the state and federal government
departments Of agriculture to pay
part of Mr.. TUFTS salary, while the
balance was to come from grading
fees, guaranteed by responsible par
ties. Mr.. Parker hopes that the same
arrangement may be effected again
this year. ..- d..
Mr.. Tutt says that he has been able
to save the farmers Of the county
thousands of dollars by submitting
accurate grades to buyers. He gives
one example, where a farmer had
been offered ten cents a pound for
his own grading. Mr.. Tutt was able
to get eleven cents, saving the farm
er a cent on the pound. Mr.. Tutt be-
lieves that, with general cooperation
the grading fees will pay the connty's
share of his salary, besides netting
the farmers large sum IN money
saved. =. '%;f'I

ANNUAL SETTLEMENT

Representative of Comptroller Gen
eral Here to Make Audit Of
County Affairs.

Mr.. l.. A. Searson, representative
of the Comptroller Generals Office in
Columbia, arrived in Abbeyille this
morning to witness the annual set
Element between the auditor and
treasurer. Mr.. Walter Duncan, comp
troller general, will be here himself
tomorrow, and will assist in the au-
dit. ..,.'
Both the auditor and the treasurer
anticipate that there will be no diff
Guilty in making the settlement. 1t
is expected, it was said by one of
the county officials this morning, that
a uniform method of bookkeeping in
all the county Offices will be institut-
ed by the state officials. Under The
present method, each officer uses
whatever system is most convenient
ond sometimes there is confusion in
auditing. Especially is this practice
annoying when books and accounts
have to be turned over to new Of
hcials.

sequence, the opportunity was offer
ed Mr.. Derbyshire to take charge of

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
SUPPORTS BANKHEAD BILL
Adopts Resolution Asking That Con
gressional Representatives Sup.
port Reclamation Measure

The board of directors OF the Ao-
beville County Chamber of Commerce
at recent meeting, adopted "a reso-
luton asking the support of South
Carolina's congressional delegation
for the passage of the Bankhead re-
clamation bill, now before congress.
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, the Board of Directors
of the Abbeville County Chamber Of
Commerce have given careful consid-
Grafton to the Cooperative Reclama-
ton Bill III. R. No. 64Os,y introduc-
ed by the Hon. W. B. Bankhead, con-
gressman from Alabama; which pro-
vides means for draining, irrigating,
clearing and preparing waste lands
for the. plow;
"And whereas, men who have made
a deep study of these matters have
arrived at the conclusion that if this,
or similar measure, is not psased at
this time by Congress it will be the
last opportunity for generation to
secure a system of nationwide land
reclamation;
"And whereas, the Bankhead bill
is nationwide in it's scope and will
enable the outhern States to partici-
pate in the benefits of land reclama-
ton work hitherto almost exclusive
ly enjoyed by the Western States:
"And whereas, the money for this
reclamation work will be provided by
the United States treasury and will
be refunded later from the proceeds
of the sale of District Drainage
Bonds;
Sand whereas, the Bankhead bill
carries out the well known plans of
the late Franklin X. Lane, former
secretary of the interior, for the
settlement of our veterans on . i'm
proved farm lands; ra.,..-..a,, -.
Therefore be it resolved, by the
board of directors of the Abbeville
County Chamber of Commerce, that
we most heartily commend the Bank
head bill and urge its passage for the
following reasons:
'That it provides a nation
wide system of land reclama-
ton carried on by the United
States Reclamation Service un-
der the direction and control of
the secretary of the interior,
and at the expense of the land
owners; ..
"That it provides for an easy
means of land settlement for
veterans of our county's WARS.
"Be it resolved that copies of these
resolutions be sent to our senators
and representatives in Congress with
the request that they support the
Bankhead bill, that copies be sent to
our newspapers with the request that
they publish same"

CAROLINA PLAYS u.
.. MOSTLY At HOME
TURNS DOWN NUM-
BER OF BIG GAMES IN ORDER
TO BOOM FOOTBALL ON Ma
TIVE HEATH-TARHEELS IN
COLUMBIA. Sc.

SoiuHpDId,- -. C,- JuIy- l4.-he-
quests for big football games with
the University of South Carolina
eleven for the next year or so have
been numerous. But Carolina has
turned deaf ear to any proposition
for games that will take the Univer-
sity team any great distance. 1t is
felt by those in charge Of athletics
that long trips during the season are
not in keeping with the work of the
college. Even the request Of Bob
Folwell, the Navy coach, who is a
close friend of Sol Metzger's, made
when Carolina wat at Annapolis last
year for a game this fall, was turned
down by Metzger for the same rea-
son.
Since Metzger' has gone to his
home he has been in touch with the
leading coaches Of the country. He
attended two big football meetings
in New York recently, one to which
only the prominent coaches of. the
country were invited. This was. CALI
ed by Major Charles Daley, the West
Point coach, for the purpose of the
coaches themselves discussing
changes in the rules and to make
recommendations to the Rules Com
mittee. The other was for the pur-
pose of selecting officials for the big
games.
AT both these meetings Carolina
was offered places on the schedules
of big Northern teams. But it was
again felt that the effort should be
made to, boom football within the.
state, so nothing definite was done
about taking on these opponents.
Metzger has also heard from Andy
Smith, coach Of the University of,
California championship eleven of
last fall, which defeated Ohio, State
at the Carnival of Roses, New
Years Day in Pasadena. Smith play
ed fullback on the Pennsylvania
eleven of 1908 which Metzger was
captain of. Just as soon as Carolina
gets going right in the South Smith
has promised to do all he can to ar
range for a trip to the Coast during
vacation time so his charges may
have a chance at the eleven now
coached by his old captain.
Carolina is working on a policy to
boom football ip South Carolina and
for that purpose it is making every
effort to play the major portion of
its games with state teams. Of course
old rivalries with neighboring state
university elevens will be promoted
to greater extent in another year.
But for this season the big game
with an eleven from out Of the state
will be the one at Columbia with
North Carolina. The Tar Heels were
lucky to defeat Carolina last year,
their one score resulting from al
lucky bound from a kick that al
Carolina man blocked. This fall they
expect better eleven than last sea-
sons, but o.does Carolina. In fact,
the Gamecock's think they are going
to take the measure Of their close
friends from across the upper bor-
der.

NATIONS LINE Up.
FOR DISARMAMENT
PLEDGES OF COOPERATION
COMES FROM GREAT BRITAIN
AND ITALY WITH CHINA ON
WAY-JAPAN GIVES NO HINT
OF ATTITUDE.


al pledges of cooperation reached
Washington from several quarters
today in response to President Hard
ing's proposal for an international
conference on limitation Of arna-
ments and other world problems.
! Definite acceptance Of the Presi-
dents invitation to participate were
received at the State Department
during the day from Great Britain
and Italy, while informal advices
came to official circles here that a
favorable reply from China might be
expected in the near future. At the
same time it became known that
much sympathetic interest had been
manifested informally by several
governments who do not expect to
have seats in the conference.
France, having previously ex-
pressed her willingness to take part
the only invited power from which
no sort of an expression had been re
ceived tonight was Japan. Admin
.stration officials were confident of
an acceptance from the Toxic gov
ernment, however, and in Japanese
quarters here it was indicated that
the delay undoubtedly was due to the
formalties of consultation among
various branches of the japanese
government which are necessary in
the decision Of an important public
question.
State Department officials would
not reveal whether any formal COM
on the subject had been
received from governments not in
vited to participate, although it was
understood that no advice of an ad-
verse nature, at least, had reached
the department from abroad. So far
as the reports here indicate, senti-
ment abroad i is content with the
Presidents decision to have the
membership of the conference limit
ed to the big five powers and China.
Press dispatches Indicating that
some British statesman desire to
have the preliminaries of the confer
ence held in London were not taken
seriously either in British quarters
here or by officials of'the administra-
ton. It was pointed out that the Bri-
tish government had accepted def
nitely he Presidents proposal for
holding the meeting here, and that a
later qualification from London was
scarcely to be expected later the dis
cussion had reached such positive
stage.
Among high American officials
there was manifest strong senti-
ment that the whole conference
should be held here, both on account
Of the facility of business such a |
plan would make possible and be-
cause of Feeling that America was
entitled to be the host, since she had
initiated the movement and issued
the invitations. It was apparent al
so that convening of the meeting on
American soil would be reckoned
here as giving the administration
an opportunity better to keep in
touch with the pulse. of American
public opinion and more easily to
public sympathy and sup
port for the efforts Of the negotia-
tors.
