WIN. ELLIOTT TO SPEAK
AT COTTON MEETING

Columbia, April 30-William Ell
lott of Columbia has accepted an
invitation extended to him by f. C..
Hamer, president of the South Car
Gina Div;s.on of the American Cot
ton Association, to speak on cooper
alive marketing at the semi. annual
meeting of the cotton association in
Columbia next Wednesday at noon
in Craven Hall. The principal object
of>this meeting will be. to discuss CO.
operative marketing association in
this state along plans somewhat ST.
milar to the cooperative marketing
associations that have proved 50 sue
cessful in California and other Yves
tern states.
President Hamer said today that
Mr.. Elliott had given much careful
study to the question of cooperative
marketing and was probably the
best qualified man in the state of
South Carolina to speak upon it. He
is thoroughly familiar with every
detail of the subject, said Mr.. Ham

c-.tLS FOR STEADY EEklE
Duty DevoIving on Cook for East
African Monarch Can Not Ea
Called a SineGurs.

The Rev. John Roscoe, Rotor or
0vington Norfolk, kept members OF
the Royal society wondering for more
than an hour while he lectured on his
journey through East Africa, where
he went on a tour of investigation on
behalf of the government and the
Royal society.
King George was amused by the
travellers description" of the royal serv-
ants at Bunyoro, one Of the places
Mr.. Roscoe visited. He described their
duties in his lecture in London.
"The kings chief cook has a very
trying job" said Mr.. Roscoe. "The
custom is that every morning he
brings to the king a pot Of specially
prepared meat, with which he must
walk all around the royal enclosure.
With his face whitened he enters the
presence, and In q dead silence
throughout the court, which may not
he broken by coughing or sneezing on
pain Of instant death, the chief cook
puts q piece Of meat at the end Of a
fork into the kings mouth.
"He does this four times, but II by
chance or nervousness he touches the
kings teeth with the metal fork he
dies instantly.
These servants find the ordeal 30
trying that they can only carry it out
for a few days. after which they are
sent away for a six weeks holiday.
That Is all the meat the king Is sup
posed to have in a day and for the
rest he lives on milk."-London Daily

ACTION IN HOUSE
PLEASES BYRNES

Washington, April. 30.-The &C.
ceptance by the house this afternoon
of the amendment offered by Repre-
sentative Byrnes of South Carolina
to the army appropriation bill, un,
der which the size of the army would
be limited to 10000 men constitu,
ted a jolt to the Republican machine
from which it required half an hour
to recover. Representative Kahn OF
California, chairman Of the com.
mittee on military affairs, who de-
sires an army as large as 100000
men, declared tonight the house
would reverse itself and that it
would prepare for an army Of at
least $4,000 men.
The Democrats, however, are de-
lighted in that they developed real
sentiment of the house irrespective
of what SUBSEQUENT action the Re.
publicans in obedience to the party
lash may take. Representative
Byrnes is delighted at the result be-
cause Of the fact that even Secretary
of War Weeks stands for what is re-
garded as a large army.
If congress does the surprising
thing and enacts a bill providing for
only 100000 men, it will be neces-
sary that the troops in Germany be
hastily recalled inasmuch as they
will not be sufficient number in the
United States to fill domestic as
signments.

CHESTER PLANTER
DIES OF INJURIES
William Martin Loses Life Under
Tractor-Right Arm Removed

Chester, April 30.-A small trac-
tor engine today claimed the life OF
William Samuel Martin, one OF
Chester county's wealthiest and
most prominent planters, on n OF
his farms near Richburg, in Chester
county, the accident occurring
about 8 o'clock this morning. 1t
seems that one of his employees was
running the tractor in a way that
was unsatisfactory to Mr. Martin
when he told the employee that he
would run the tractor. The tractor
was attached to a disc plow and an
effort was made to climb q small hill
on the farm and considerable power
was thrown on and in some way the
tractor turned over. Mr.. Martin was
pinned under ii. He was pulled
from under the tractor and, aided
by his employee, he walked a quar-
ter of a mile, suffering intense
agony and losing considerable blood.
He was then placed in a buggy and
driven to his home and from there
hurried to the Chester sanatorium
here, where he was operated on hay
ing is right arm removed at the
socket and his other bruises treat
ed, but the shock from his injuries
was 80 great that he died within a
short time.

ONLY ONE TAX CAN BE
COLLECTED AGAINST DOG

Columbia, April 30.-The present
dog tax" is the only tax or license
that can be assessed against a dog in
South Carolina, according to an
opinion rendered today by Attorney
General Wolfe, answering the ques-
ton raised in many. parts Of the
state, especially Of late Anderson
and 0rangeburg, as TO how many
times n dog can be taxed. The at
torney general rules that the state
dog tax excludes any other state,
county or municipal taxes or IL
censes. A dog, no matter how fine
an animal he may be, cannot be as
sessed for taxation as properly, if
his owner has a dog tax license tag,
showing that the per capita dog tax
Of $1.25 has been paid for the cur
rent year, according to the attorney
generals ruling.
The attorney general holds that
the metal tax tag "%purports to be a
clearer receipt for all taxes assess
Bile against that dog, and purports to
be exclusive of all other assessments
municipal or otherwise"
This will preclude the possibility
of a city requiring a dog license,
where the state tax on dog has been
paid. This ruling is expected to
bring about considerable interest in
the dog situation, especially in some
of the towns of the state.

Keep Control Of Temper.

Repeated outbursts of violence have
the same effect on your delicate men

have on the machinery which controls
the energy generated by the waterfall.
In a very little time the person CIV

troll his energy. 1t will burst forth
at all times, as in the case Of a badly
spoiled child. And then there will be
little work and no thought. All the

terious processes Of life will be vast
ed, never again to be recovered.-John

Indications point to a very large
crowd at the meeting, it was said
yesterday at the headquarters Of the
cotton association. Fifty or more
delegates have been appointed from
every county and notices sent to
them. A very large. percentage of
them have already written indicating
their intentions Of attendance.
President Hamer again today
stressed the fact that the meeting
was open to all of the farmers of
South Carolina whether they have
been appointed delegates or not and
it is hoped that there will be no hes
itation on the part of any one to at
tend because he has not been ofici-
ally appointed as a delegate. -.
The central committee which is to
formulate the plans for the market
ing association will meet Tuesday and
have them ready for submission to
the big meeting on Wednesday.

Freeze Fruit to Keep It.

Strawberries, grapes. cherries, rasp-
berries, and other small fruits, as well
as tomatoes and some other vegetables,
can be kept a long time Intact from the
germs that bring about decomposition.
Germs may be present in the air and
in the fruits, but their activity is
suspended by freezing.
The department Of agriculture has
found that fruits frozen to a tempera-
ture as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit
or higher, up to 80 degrees, and then
stored in a temperature not above 10
degrees, will keep for several months.

UNITED STATES
FINDS SUPPORT
Italy Agrees With Position as to
Yap-No Privilege Sought.

Washington, April 30.-Complete
agreement with the position of the
United States in regard to the Is
land of zap as expressed by Secre-
tary Hughes in his notes to the prin-
cipal allied powers, is expressed in a
note delivered to the state depart
ment today by the italian ambassa-
dor.
The Italian government said it
was seeking no privilege in zap not
granted to other nations and offered
Italy's cooperation to restore eqsa.
nimity to the world.
"Italy is also convinced that the
United States intends to protect
their. interests in the island of zap
with full consideration for the inter-
ests of other nations" the note de-
clared, adding that "Italy therefore
has not hesitated to express herself
in a way which completely agrees
with the text of the American note
of April 5 concerning the equality
Of rights among manufactures in the
exercise of their mandates.
The full text of the Italian note
follows:
"Italy is fully convinced that the
United States is not asking for any
privilege in the island of zap which
is not equally granted to every
other nation, including Japan. Italy
is also convinced that the United
States intends to protect their in
terest in the island of zap with full
consideration of the interest of 9TH
err nations.
"Italy therefore has not hesitated
to express herself in a way which
completely agrees with the text of
the American note of April 5 inst,
concerning the equality of rights
among manufactures in the exercise
of their mandates.
'Italy wishes and trusts that the
just rights of everybody concerned
be recognized always and every
where, in the island of zap as we'll
as in every other place and circum-
stance, with perfect equality and
justice.
Italy seconded the Anglo French
proposal which confded the study
of the zap question to the judicial
committee and the conference of
ambassadors in Paris, and she now
expects that the conference will pro-
nounce itelf with equanamity in
such a way as to. eliminate every
possibility Of agreement and to con-
cllllate alL/conflicting interests.
Italy is particularly glad when
ever the moral policies Of the two
governments and the material in
terests of the two nations agree on
such a way as to put Italy and the
United States in a position to CO.
operate towards the attainment of
the common end, which consists in
the realization of an era of serene
peace and prosperity for the civilized
world"
