 CERTAIN OF POSTS
(By United Press)

Washington, April 15.-Confirma- tion of the appointments of Colonel George Harvey of New York as am- bassador to Great Britain, and of Myron T. Herrick of Ohio as ambas- sador to France, was recommended to- day by the senate foreign relations committee. No opposition from Demo- cratic members developed while the appointments were under consdera- tion. Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee, hopes to have confirmation by the senate as a whole today.
 The appointment of Mir. Herrick, a former ambassador to France, has met the approval of both parties. He is Cleveland business man and repre- sented the United States with dis tinction during his former sojourn in Paris. However, Mir. Harding's selection of Colonel Harvey has provoked the first storm to confront the new administration. As general ly understood, Colonel Harvey, one of the original Woodrow Wilson men, broke with the former president when refused the Great Britain appoint ment and became his sworn foe, op- posing every move by Wilson He is former editor of Harper's Weekly, and is now editor and publisher of Harvey's Weekly and the North Amer iCan Review

Chicago, April 15.-Four bandits this morning held up two Chicago clearing house messengers and es- capped with se3s,6oO in negotiable checks.
 Two messengers left the clearing house with checks for outlying banks. They boarded an Illinois Central suburban train. The four bandits ap- parently followed them from the clearing house, and also boarded the train.
 When the train reached Twenty Third street, all four of the bandits pulled revolvers, two covering the passengers and two covering the mes sengers. They took the messengers satchel containing the checks. At this point, the conductor entered the coach and he was ordered to stop the train AS it came to a halt, the four escaped and leaping the fence beside the track, entered a taxicab and were driven away.
 One of the passengers, bolder than his mates, attempted to follow, but turned back when one bandit stopped and emptied his revolver at him.

Chicago, April 15.-Sam (The DeviD Cardinella, who gained one hour of life by insisting that he be hanged according to standard and not day light saving time, completely lost his bravado when he went to the scaffold this morning at 9 o'clock with Antonio Lopez, sam Ferrara and Joseph Cos tanzo.

He was hanged for the murder of Andrew Bowman.
 Lopez, Ferrara and Costanzo faced death bravely and mounted the scaf- fold without assistance.
 Cardinella added one hour to his life by demanding the observance of standard time. Under the daylight saving arrangement, the four would have been hanged at 8 o'clock. The gang leader insisted that the death sentence was passed before the day light saving went into effect and that he was due the extra hour of life While there is life, there is hope" said Cardinella.

 Washington, April 15-The battle to modify the Volstead act to permit the sale of light wines and beer will be fought to a finish at the present session of congress, as soon as the tariff and taxation programs are cleared by the house of representa- tives
 Preparations to meet the attack were started by the dry forces today, following bombardment of their po- sition by Representative Hill of Mary land, who unexpectedly introduced bill for the repeal of the Volstead act as a whole.
 Representative Volstead jumped to the defense of the act which bears his name, declaring that hearings by both wet and dry spokesmen while it was being framed, had been exhaustive and fair to all elements concerned. He declared he would use every effort as chairman of the house judiciary committee to throttle Representative Hills "booze" bill.
 The Maryland representative also came in for humorous jabs as to the effect repeal of the Volstead act would have on his business. Representative Hill is the owner of Baltimore com pany which deals in drinking water.

ONE CROP COTTON

To certain extent cotton has had
a bad influence on South Carolina.
It is an easy crop to raise, not
difficult to handle. Easy cotton
money has made the southern plan
ter a one-crop farmer. The result is
that he is today buying corn from the
north at 81, and many tenants on
southern farms are buying New York
hay, bale at time, at SO per hum
dred and paying the bin with cotton
or tobacco money. A planter in Clar-
endon county told me this spring that
last year he bought for three Of his
none costing less than $1,000. One
negro tenants out Of their shares of
cotton crops three automobiles,
colored man cleared little over $400
an acre net on his tobacco last year.
An old planter near me planted three
acres of tobacco last year "just to be
doing something" and the gross re-
turn was $1,675-but he is buying
his mule feed.

USE OF FERTILIZERS

Many northern people say they are
dubious about country where COM
mercial fertilizers are used. South
Carolina needs fertilizers only be-
cause the average South Carolina far
mer Is inclined to be slipshod In his
work, or because It is necessary to
raise such crop as tobacco on thin
soil In South Carolina a money crop
can be grown on piece of land and
In addition heavy legume crop can
be raised and plowed under the same
year. Many farmers do this; many
farmers do not do 1t but raise cotton
instead and count on that to pay their
bills and save them bother.
