PROTECTIVE TARIFF
SAVIOR Of SOUTH
SAYS CONGRESS

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 29.-Enactment
by congress at the earliest possible
date of the emergency tariff law with
the Senate amendments, and enact
ment of a permanent tariff law that
will afford both revenue to he gov
ernment and protection to agricul-
ture and industry was urged by the
Southern Tariff Congress in resolu-
tons adopted at the last days ses-
sions of the conference here today.
A high protective tariff also was
demanded in the resolutions on prac-
tically all the products of the south,
with the exception of cotton. This
was not included, supposedly, for the
reason that the south enjoys practi-
cally a monopoly. on the production
of all cotton except long staple var
ieties and this variety was included.
The resolutions consisted of three
main groups, agricultural, industrial
and mineral. Under the agricultural
group were placed tine leading pro-
ducts of the south which need protec-
ton, including cattle, sheep, goats,
sugar, cotton seed, citrus fruits,
tobacco, peanuts and long staple cot
ton. Under the industrial group
were placed cotton manufactured
products, both cloth and yarn, lum-
Der and various others of secondary
Importance. Under the mineral
group were placed long list of min
erals produced in the south, and in
this connection the resolutions urg-
ed the passage of a mineral tariff
schedule now being sought in Wash
ing ton by the mining interest.
The resolutions urged the restora-
ton of the old Payne-Aldrich sched-
ules on cotton goods and cotton
yarns. They urged southern Sena-
tors to support not only the pending
emergency tariff bill, but the policy
of protective tariffs in general.
Hearty Endorsement was given the
policy of "Amercia first" as enun-
ciated by President-elect Harding re-
Gently.
Sidney J. Cats, former governor
of Florida was one of the principal
speakers at the closing session of
the congress. He pointed out the
needs of Florida industries for pro-
tective tariff, showing that the citrus
fruits of that state are in keeping
with fruits produced by pauper labor
in the West Indies and that Florida
ranks next to Texas among SOU
thern states in cattle production.
c. R. Huston, a prominent manu-
facturer of Chattanooga, Tenn, de-
clared the new Republican admins
tration will practically destroy Sec
tional lines by its consideration Of
southern interests. He said southern
farmers, manufacturers and business
men can get anything they want
from the Republican administration
if they will approach it in a spirit of
cooperation.

TWO STILLS TAKEN
BY OFFICERS LAST WEEK
Deputy Sheriff Cam and Federal Of
ficers Locate Still Operated by
Men Captured Last Week
Brought to Abbeville-60
Gallon Capacity

Deputy Sheriff Cam and. Revenue
Officers of the federal government
captured two stills in the county last
week, one of sixty gallons capacity
and the other of twelve gallons capac-
ity.
The first still was a large copper
still, ,, and was the one in use by Leo
Minor, B. Grant and Thompson
Simpson, who were captured last
week. 1t will be recalled that the Of
fcers found these parties inspecting
about 400 gallons of beer which they
had made preparatory to distilling
corn whiskey. At the time the still
could not be found, but the officers
knew it was there, and after several
days search it was found buried as
were the other apparatus for the run
to be made.
The last still found was also a cop
per still, but as stated its capacity
was smaller. 1t was found near Bow
EMS Ferry on Little River. The officers
came near catching the whiskey max
ers red handed in the act in this case.
But for the fact that it was necessary
for them to cross an open field in or
der to reach the point where the still
was in operation, the moonshiners
would have been taken. Evidently
some watchman warned the men at
the still of the approach of the Of
ficers, and the former made their
getaway. !
The leaving was so hurried, how
ever, that one of the parties who had
been at the still left his overcoat and
his dog. These were taken in charge
by the officers, the dog being turned
loose after it had been identified as
belonging to certain party living in
the neighborhood. The overcoat IS
held as evidence and it too has been
identified as belonging to the same
party.
This last still when discovered was
full of beer, had been fired up and
was in actual operation. About two
gallons of the run had been made,
but the officers who understand such
matters say that a further run was
necessary in order to make the liquor
drinkable. When the operators left
the still they did not take time to put
out the fire or to secure the liquor
made.
The officers by means of tracks
raced the liquor-makers to the mash
barrels and destroyed these. Other
tracks led to the home Of party in
the neighborhood already under
charge of liquor making. He will
shortly be arrested and will be tried
in federal court as well as in the
state court.

GHOST
STALKS IN RUSSIA
Thirteen Million Said to Be Suffering
Acutely This Winter-Soviet OP.
ponents Meet in Paris to
Bare Facts as to Condi-
tions Now Obtaining

New York, Jan. 30.-The veil
which for many months has complete
ly hidden conditions in Russia, due to
the action of Soviet leaders III barr
ing visitors, from the rest of the
world. is being withdrawn little by
the conference, now in session in Par
is. of the all Russian constituent as
sembly.
Prominent exiled Russians who op-
posed the rule of Lenin and Trotzky
are now submerging their differences
in an effort to present united front
against Bolshevism. They are dis
closing in Paris reports from asso-
ciates still in Russia picturing con-
ditions not before clearly presented
to the world. These reports are be-
ing received by cable by A. ]. Sack,
director of the Russian information
bureau, who is the authorized spokes-
man in this country of all the Rus
sian elements opposed to Bolshevism
attending the Paris conference. In
a statement today summing up the
reports which have reached him, Mr..
Sack explains why the conference is
to be regarded as an event of in
ternational Importance and inciden-
tally he discloses for the first time
that there is a famine in Russian
villages this winter probably not
less acute than in China"
"Thirteen million people have be-
gun to suffer acute starvation this
January he said, "and 100000 al
ready in December of the past year."
Downfall Inevitable.
On the basis of the date he has
submitted he declares, on behalf Of
his associates, that the downfall of
Bolshevism is inevitable.
His statement says in part:
"The situation within Bolshevist
Russia is critical. The eco .omic life
of the country is destroyed, accord
ing >sten to the Bolshevist Official
data. According to No. 256 Of the
official Bolshevist daily, Pravda,
which contains a comparative table
of manufacturing outputs for the
first half year of 1920 as compared
with the corresponding period of
1914, the present output of iron in
Bolshevist Russia is only IL per cent.
of the output befoxe the war; steel, 4
per cent; cotton, 20 per cent; coal,
% per cent. The area under cu]tiva-
ton is only "a per cent. as compared
with land cultivated in 1914.
"The Bolshevist regime is both a
political and economic failure and its
downfall may be expected at any
moment. After that Russia may
plunge into complete anarchy. If
this will ':appen the Russian crisis
will last for many years, keeping all
Europe and the rest of the world
under great strain and preventing
everywhere the return to normal eco-
nomic and political conditions.
'The Importance of the present
Russian conference in Paris is in
-,ha. it lays the foundation for unity
Of eli the Russ;a democratic forces
opposed to Boistsvism, aad that it
secures for tksm active sympathy
and cooperation of tde international
democratic forces We look upon
iris conference with great hope
trusting that it opens the way for
Russia's and the worlds regenera-
iion."

Weak Spot Found.

The weak spot in the new system,
according to those opposing, was in
the fact that many appropriations
were authorized which had not been
authorized before and which were
open to points of order on the ground
Of new legislation. There are ways
by which the items eliminated may
be put back, either by the senate, in
conference or by special rule, giving
them legislative standing.
Defending the new policy, Repre-
sentative Mondell, the Republican
leader, declared it was in the inter-
est of economy, and that 156 men,
bers had freely surrendered their
former rights for the common good.
Representative Small, Democrat,
North Carolina, member of the SUBJ
committee which reported the dip
lomatic bill, declared the system was
wrong and insisted by way of illus
tration that members of the mill
tary committee who for years had
given profound study to the needs
of the war department, more prop
erly should handle the army appro-
priation bill.
There was applause from both sides
of the chamber when Mr.. Small as
serted that by this method 35 men
actually were doing the work that
435 were elected to do.
Attacking what he described as
the effort to cripple necessary gov
eminent service through improper
tactics, Representative Madden, Re-
publican, Illinois, called attention to
what he characterized as an odd pro-
ceeding.

New System Used.

Heretofore the diplomatic bill has
been prepared by the foreign affairs
committee, in intimate touch with
needs of the service. The same rule
applied to other committees, but un-
der the new system the ranking Re-
publican and Democratic members Of
the foreign affairs committee, for ex-
ample, were transferred to con-
soidated appropriation committee of
35 members.
If the cloture petition is voted
down next Wednesday the Republi-
can managers said that it would be
demonstrated that passage of the
bill would be impossible. With this
situation it was said that the Re-
publican leaders would have exhaust
ed every possible effort to pass the
bill and would then be prepared to
charge it's defeat to the Democratic
opponents and be ready to lay aside
the measure and proceed with the
appropriation bills.

SCENE OF CONFUSION FOUND
AT HOUSE SESSION-EIGHT
MILLION DOLLAR DIPLOMAT
&c MEASURE SLASHED TO
PIECES BY MEMBERS NOT
PLEASED-AMERICAN BUS1-
NESS MAY SUFFER

Washington, Jan. ga growing
wave of discomfort over the new
system of framing big appropriation
measures broke in the house today
with unexpected fury.
The upshot of it all was the virtual
riddling of the $s,OOO,O0o diplomatic
and consular bill, which at the end
of the day was a mere shell of its
former self. Unable to stand during
a flare up from all sides, the bill was
cut to pieces on points of order
which eliminated funds intended for
conduct of American business abroad.
There was no general attempt to
wreck the bill. Members simply
sought to register violent opposl-
tion to the manner of its framing.
Not all of the members were willing
to 20 that far, for many of those
who objected strenuously to some OF
its provisions/w unwilling to seize
upon technical grounds for its de
struction. One member, however, at
tackled item after item and they went
out as without authority of law.
The attack served as warning of
what may be expected next week
when the house begins consideration
of the army and the naval appropri-
atom hills
