resolution which the county super
intendents Of education adopted at
the conference held in Columbia
this wee!; when they recommended
that the state board Of examiners

and causing loss TO the cause Of ed
ucation.
The state board Of examiners, as
is generally known. examines and
grades all the examination papers
turned in by applicants for licenses
to teach in the state, and for that
reason the resolution was directed
to them.
The resolution. as offered, by W.
W. Fuller, superintendent Of eGu-
cation of Edgeheld county, was
unanimously adopted and was as
follows:
That we may have the greatest
efficiency in our schools. and con-
duct them in a businesslike man

Whereas, many teachers utter

Compromise
Agreemnt Made With Con-
sent of Federal Judges in
North Carolina

Greensboro, n. c., Oct. 6.-At-
torneys for the Southern Railway
company, Atlantic Coast Line and
Atlantic & Yadkin, the three rail-
road companies operating in this
state resisting the assessment levied
by the state tax commission on
their property and attorneys rep

Boyd and H. G. Connor and Circuit
Judge Edmond Waddill, Jr., tn
three judges hearing the case,
whereby the railroad companies

mitte1 by the railroad companies,
while the question of additional
taxes on the states assessment will
be fought out in the courts.
Under the agreement the South
ern will pay on s60,G10,000 valua-
ton; Coast Line on $34,645, ,445,
and Atlantic and Yadkin on ST.
973,906. The state has assessed
the Southern at se6, 100000; the
Coast Line at s51. 100000, and the
Atlantic and Yadkin at s4,500.000.
These three railroad companies be-
gan actions in the federal court
here several days ago to have the
1921 assessment Of the state COM
mission Set aside, claiming dis
elimination.
When the hearing began today
the state moved to dismiss the ac-
ton. This the judges refused. The
state then moved to continue and
the court granted the motion. 1t
was then agreed that the railroad
companies pay this year under adj
mitteed valuations and that the
state have until December l, 1921,
to file an answer to the complaints
Of the railroad companies. In the
event that the case should finally
be decided in favor Of the state the
railroad companies will be required
to pay the back taxes.

Resignation of
Tolbert Wanted
South Carolina Republicans in
Conference With Adams

Washington, Oct. 6.-Today at
the Offices Of the Republican nat
ional committee a conference last
ing nearly two hours was held by
Chairman Adams, Secretary Miller
and other officers Of the committee
with National Committeeman J. w.
Tolbert, Of South Carolina; D. O.
Anderson, Of Marion, and DR.. Will
liams, of Rock Hill.
Messrs. Anderson and Williams
represent the sentiment among
South. Carolina Republicans who
are working for reorganization
Of their party in the state. The
conference developed amicably af-
ter it was made clear that. those
working for reorganization are
not seeking to humiliate Commit
teeman Tolbert and not expecting
to oust him as committeeman. The
plan which is being suggested Is
that he resign as state chairman,
thus permitting the selection or Q
new man to that position and az
fording an opportunity to under
take building the Republican party
in the state by broadening the
present leadership. 1t is under
stood that no positive conclusion
could be reached because some OF
those who had been expected to at
tend the conference from South
Carolina did not arrive, including
Ernest L. Cochran, district attorn-
ey for the western district, VINO
was detained by court business.
Committeeman Tolbert and Mcssrs.
Anderson and Williams seemed to
be on good terms as they walked
away from the "talkfest." It is
presumed that the conference VIII
be resumed at a later date, with
more persons present from South
Carolina.
The key to the situation now as
to reorganization appears to be
whether or not Committeeman Toll
bert will step aside as State chair
man and give someone else a show.
1t is understood that the chair
man, if the plan goes through.
would probably be some person
whose name has not been m on
ed in connection with any on
age.

Tenny on Marketing
Bureau of Markets Specialist
Urges Organization

Clemson College, Oct. 6.-Speak-
ing here today before Extension
Service forces and members Of the
legislature from a score or more
counties here by invitation at the
opening session Of the annual meet
ing Of the extension forces, Lloyd
S. Tenny, assistant chief OF the
United States Bureau Of Markets
stated that there is no short course
to solving the marketing problems
of the farmer: organization leading
toward standardized production
and orderly distribution is the only
way out and that takes time. The
individual farmer hasn't a look-in
when it comes to marketing, and
since growing cotton has been too
easy in the past for our farmers
to know anything about co-opera-
ton, an intensive educational cam
paign is therefore needed to in
form and interest farmers as to
the need, nature, and purposes Of
organization.
Speaking specifically regarding
marketing of truck, Mr.. Tenny
said that truck growing in South
Carolina will not become a success
full and permanent farming indus
try until the growers organize SO
as to standardiZe. merchandise, and
advertise the truck crops produc-
ed. With soil and climate in cer-
tain sections of the state adapted
to successful production Of such
crops as asparagus, cucumbers.
melons, cantaloupes, Irish and
sweet potatoes, etc, it is question
Of getting together for production
of uniform or standard products
and for proper merchandising Of
these products instead of dumping
them on the market.
Mr.. Tenny expressed great hope
for the successful outcome of the
organization of cotton growers Of
the state and the south for CO.
operative marketing of cotton.

days program dealing with CO.
operative marketing was the talk
