TO TEE TAXPAYERS OF SOUTH
CAROLINA
/.

At convention Of taxpayers, held
In the capital january II, 1921, a
memorial was adopted and presented
to the Governor and both branches OF
the General Assembly, protesting
against increased appropriations, and
urging the strictest economy In the
state and county governments.
1t is apparent from the published re-
ports Of the acts Of the General AS
sembly that they are not disposed to
heed the appeal Of the convention; as
indicated by voting down the recon-
mendation Of the Speaker of the House
to hold appropriations down to max
imum OF $G,000,000.
Therefore, we, the committee ap-
pointed to represent the Taxpayers
convention, do hereby call conventions
or the taxpayers to meet at their re-
spective county-scats at II o'clock,
Monday, Feb. 7th, to elect delegates,
not less than five from each county.
to meet In the capital at $3.50 o'clock
on Wednesday. Feb. 9th, to consider
what further action may be wise upon
this important issue. We especially
invite senator's and members of the
House to meet with their constituents
IN their respective courthouses on the
first Monday.
If you do not respond to this call.
blame no one but yourself when the
tax burden grows heavier.

telling OF coming across what was no

While accommodating on the north
bank Of the Saluda river near Ware
Shoals" he said, testing out pos
sible new route for the Dixie Highway
from the top Of the hill to the con-
crete bridge at the canal, / ran across
an old graveyard. Upon closer inspec-
ton ! found distinct evidences Of
twelve graves, to the majority Of which
still stood head and foot stones OF old,
moss-covered. roughly hewn granite
slabs.
at the end of one grave / found
fallen slab with this inscription:
'Pemrly II. Ware died September Is,
1922 At the foot OF another one,
slab stood with G. w. 1926 inscribed
on the outer face. At the head OF an
other was a slab standing with this:
IT. Ware, died Feb. 28, 1853, Age 81.
At the foot still another head stone
bore this inscription: Sarah G. Ware,
August 8, lS40' The foot stone was
not marked Another head stone had
on It: j. A. Ware, Ceptember 2S, 1890,
Ago, 8 months"
Some OF the lettering on these rough
stones, he said, showed good work by
the cutter and all the inscriptions
were remarkably legible.

JOHNSON ATTACKS
JAP AGREEMENT
California Senator AssaIls Proposed
Agreement Between II. &. and Japap


Agreement Between q. s. and Japan.
Washington, Jun. 29.-Open attack
on the proposed agreement between
Japan and the United States as to the
status Of Japanese in this country was
made by Senator johnson Of Caiifor-
MIA, today in statement criticisins
what he said was provided for in the
tentative plan worked out hero by AM
bassadors Shidehara and Norris.
The plan is now before the two
governments and has not been made
public in Washington or Toxic SEN
ator oJhnson declared, however, on
the basis OF statements from author
atative sources" as to its provisions
that It's result would "be a. contin-
uancc Of Japanese immigration and
increase in the Japanese population
in the west"
Secretary Colby, who conferred dur
Ing the day with President Wilson,
refused to make Casual" answer to
the Senator's statements. The Japa-
N "t'i eShcfs, ne Sald, had not
been discussed during the White
House conference and then added that
Senator Johnson, while "undonbtedlv
sincere was proceeding from mum
Dor Of erroneous assumptions" in
what he had said.
Mr.. Colby has just finished reading
the draft agreement submitted by
Ambassador Morris. The two ambas
sadors completed 1t during his recent
visit to South America.
Senator johnson said the plan
would In effect "abrogate and de-
stroy" the alien land law recently
voted by the people of California. 1t
would also, he said. provide as to
Japanese exclusion for another 80
called gcntlemans agreement which
does no, exclude"
such situation, the California
senator said, was "intolcrable" and
he added:
"Consummation of such plan will
be resisted"
Colby Replies
Washington, Jan 29.-In his state
mont of reply tonight Secretary Colby
said that Senator Johnson was mot
uninformed as to the course OF these
conversations and am therefore sur
priscd that he should feel called upon
to throw himself into defensive nos
ture against dangers which he de-
scribcd, but which, am informed he
has been assured do not present them
selves.
THE state department Is charged
with the duty OF pursuing these i'm
portant discussions with sober regard
to the facts" the secretary's state
mont continued, "and this It has
sought to do with proper consider
alton for every interested point of
view"
Il am not speaking in any spirit
OF criticism OF Senator johnson with
whom have long had the most
agreeable and friendly relations, but
he must know, as a member OF the
foreign relations committee OF the
Senate, that even II the fear to when
he gives expression, that the state de-
partment Is moving too rapidly In
the direction OF treaty, that treaty
can have no effect without It's sub
mission in due course to the Senate. !
and, under the latter's practice, it's
minute examination by the senator's
committee.

Growers of fruits and vegetables
are approaching more and more the
benefits possible through organization
in marketing their products. 1t is
estimated that there are 1900
farmers cooperative buying and sell
ing associations in the United States
of which about 1000 represent fruit
and vegetable interests.
Will Find Bureau Grades Helpful.
Where the association is organized
for the purpose of selling. the
organizers often lose sight of the fact
that some standard must be adopted
for marketing their products. Indi
viduals or organizations will find the
recommended or proposed grades
formulated by the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, very helpful as a basis for their
packs or brands.
One Florida truck growers associa-
tion adopted this past season the
tentative United States grades For
cucumbers as basis for their Fancy"
and Choice" packs, marketing them
under their leading brand. An investi-
gator Of the bureau of markets in
Spected the association pack and the
individual shippers pack and advised
with them when any doubtful points
concerning grades were raised. This
inspection service gave the bureau
of markets an opportunity to deter
mine in the field whether the grades
as formulated would be practical, at
least under Florida conditions.
The association packed all cucum-
bers through n central packing shed,
each growers product thus being
graded by disinterested person. This
made for uniformity of the product.
Every car loaded by the association
was approximately 4 to > per cent
within the grade requirements. Nearly
every car inspected outside the central
packing house was below grade. rang

plants all side shoots and suckers are
removed, leaving only the main stem

1t is easy to determine which are the
