Iauruau expenditures WIIICI1-~v...-
nearly If not wholly completed in the
fiscal year 1922-the aggregate ex-
penditure for the fiscal year 1923 will
be substantially as large as in the
fiscal year 1922. The special railroad
expenditures included in the 1922
budget amount, in round figures, to
s500,000,000; and the receipts from
customs and miscellaneous sources
for the fiscal year 1928 are estimated
at S73O0O0,O00. Deducting both
amounts (S1,23O.000,00O from the
total estimated expenditures for 1922
(4,O34, 4,000,O00) leaves in round fig
ures s2,S00,000,00O to be supplied by
internal taxes for the fiscal year
1928.
THE revenue bill as recommended
by your committee will raise during
1928. it is estimated, S2,735, 100000.
This difference or deficit Of 5,000,-
600, about equal to the correspond
ing surplus for the fiscal year 1929
can and should be avoided by saving
and economies. Your committee de-
liberately recommends tax program
to meet ordinary expenditures on the
present scale, and assumes that a
reasonable measure Of retrenchment
and reductions will be accomplished" "

nal of Education, published in Bos
ton, Mass, in discussing the educa
tional status of South Carolina, pays
high tribute to the state and te
WINTHROP college. The article under
the title, Looking About" follows:
It is highly important that every
state in the Union be estimated edu-
.cationally in view of its relative con-
6i+ions. In no case is this more i'm
.portant than in an estimate Of South
Carolina. It is an outrage to put
South Carolina into any list with
other states on any basis Of fnan-
,ciai support of schools. 1t is as un-
fair as to judge Hereford on a dairy
record.
South Carolina is shy in great nat
uraI resources of mines, forests, rich
grazing areas; in accessibility Of
mountain scenery; in inland fish, in
lakes and streams; in seashore resorts
Of beach, boating and yachting to at
tract young women with physical
charge and old men with millions all
of which would make easy tax money
South Carolina lacks great east and
west railroad systems to create cen
ters Of railroad managers and rail-
ually large areas in the mountains
and shore plains shut off from pro-
gressive industries and modern social
and civic movements.
South Carolina is distinctively an
agricultural state but largely Of one
crop agriculture, and a crop with
uncomfortable pest liability and soil
exhausting features and slight op-
portunity to profit by crop rotation,
Tragically the price of her crop is
determined by conditions over which
she has no control.
South Cardinals undue proportion
OF negro population has no important
redeeming feature in her educational
functioning. 1t must never be over
looked in any estimate of South Car
elina's financial situation that Savan-
nah~ Augusta, and Atlanta, Charlotte
and Wilmington are enriching them
selves from South Cardinals trade
and industries while she has nothing
to reciprocate by benefting from 9TH
er states.
Against these odds the pluckiest
people in the New World are waging
a winning campaign. In no state is
there a higher social standard or a
: better civic spirit. In no state is the
teaching force from homes Of higher
culture, and nowhere do teacher
; training institutions and the state and
city departments Of education do
more to serve the homes Of the people
than in South Carolina. Nowhere
does dollar of tax money go far
ther in benefting young and old, in
school and out, than in South Caro-
lima.
If South Carolina could be rated
on scale Of results according to con-
difions of toachor char9 cter and cu1-

CHICAGO GRAIN NfARKEr

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Unexpected fa11ing off in the visible supply total together with increased talk of the rail srtike be- ing averted led to a material upturn to- day in the price of wheat Closing nuo- tations although unsettled, were 1% to 2A cents higher, with December s1 07% to S1.oS and May s1.12% to s1121h Corn gained IA to 1% and oats r a ss to %G%. In provisions the outcome va a- ried from 12k cents decline to Is cents advance.
 Most of the trS ders in wheat had looked for liberal enlargement today in inc visible supply. As soon, however. ae ir- dications appeared that the general as- sumption in this respect would nrove ,1n- founded, persistent buying On tha na ri of strong commission houses set in. De mand for wheat was further stimulated on account of current developments which caused many dealers to conclude that thn strike situation was clearing ranidlv Still further encouragement for the bul1s was found in predictions that for tbe next few weeks receipts woud be held back to take advantage of reduced freight rates. On the other hand ex- port news was bearish and partly he cause of this circumstance the best nric. es of the day dropped at the last. Corn and oats rose with wheat Re. sides, snallness of receipts counted as 2 bullish influence.
 Down turns in the value of hogs made provisions average lower.

TO ESTABLISH RATES FOR
 HAULING FREIGHT BY TRUCK

Hartford, Nct. 24.-In order to pro- tect the public and business from un- reasonable cost of transportation by truck should the railroad strike tie up the railroads. plans are being made to establish standard rates for hauling freight by truck The governors emer- gency committee of which Robert Sco- vile, former state food administrator Is chairman, has referred this question of trucking rates to the Connecticut Manufacturers Association for solu- ton.
 A meeting of a subcommittee of the associations traffic committee met Sun day evening with representatives of commercial trucking associations and laid preliminary plans for handling the rate question.
 There was a determir<A opinion at the meeting that it wou$ ce for the good interests of the pub ic, the manufactur- Ing and business concerns and for the trucksters, to have standardized rates. to prevent abuse of the opportunity tc hoist prices.
 Superintendent Carl A. Mitchell of the New Haven road said there were no new developments In the situation today. The date has not yet been set for opening 1 training schools for volunteers, MT. Nit chell said, but he intimated it would be soon unless something happened to make it unnecessary.

HEARING ON CONDITIONS IN MINGO MINING DISTRICT

Washington, Oct 24-Blame for the bloodshed and strife in the coal regions of West Virginia was variously laid by different witnesses before the senate ed- ucation and labor committee today at the doorstep of West Virginia state of ficials, because of their alleged failure to enforce the law, the United States Stee Corporation, ]. P. Morgan and Com pany. the Pennsylvania Railroad and a number of other financial powers The committee began a six days hearing in- to conditiors in the troubled district and adjourned late today only to reconvene two hours later for a night session.
 The committee was formally reques- ted by Philip Murray. vice president ot the United Mine Workers of America whN was one of the witnesses, to use its good offices in an attempt at mediation of the long time controversy between the operators and the miners. He pre-. sented a set of basic principles to whicf he said the union miners could subscribe When such a settlement had been ac complished, he suggested that Chief Jus tice Taft appoint an administrator to in terpret and apply the pr0~isions of tn, agreement.

SUMMARY OF NEWS
 OF THREATENED RAIL STRIKE
 Continued from Page One

union men and the 165 rail heads sum- moned must attend every session, the board stated and the coliseum, scene of many great gatherings, has been hired flo rthe haring which will be open to the public
 From the labor side can>e announce ment that the t, ,000 signalmen will not be authorized to strike, thus limiting the prospective strikers to 475, 900 trainmen conductors, switchman, engineers, fire men, and telegraphers and increasing the number of men whose leaders have pledg- ed them not to walllout to about a mil lion and a half. The 5000 railroad te- legraphers apparently were definitely committed to a strike when F. J. Man ion. their president. announced in St. Louis that there was no intention of changing the decision for these men to support the 'big five" in the walkout.
 The information that the labor board would not go into the conference with any specific plan for solution of the rail diff faculties follows an announcement from the board that the presidents of the big four brotherhoods in a telegram had again warned the board that the strike could not under any circumstances be postponed although it might be settled. The message from the Brotherhood chiefs was looked on by board member as especially significant because the board has let it become known that the hearing is expected to drag out for some time and that it is depending on the union chiefs to obey orders not to permit 8 strike pending decision from the con. ference. This decision. members of tn, board, said undoubtedly would not bc rendered until after Oct 30.
 One member of the board in discussin, the possibility of the hearing lasting som | time, today said that it was likely, i, view of the boards order that all of tn 1,60O chiefs must attend every session that daily roll call would he held, an that such procedure undoubtedly woul l take considerable time.
 The announcement from the signalme
 today placed ten of the eleven standard American Federation of Labor rail union
 formally against a strike at this time
 although all have announced that ney
 vote will be taken after the labor boar
 renders it's rules and working condition
 decisions which ara not expected fo
 some time.

 In the early days of baseball, when batting was regarded as almost the only feature of the game, the sending of a lively ball-ten inches in circun- ference and containing over two ounces of rubber-to the outfield for home runs was considered quite feat. In the decade from 1857 to 1867 the scores og games were gradually increased un- til 1867, when the general average of the scores of the leading clubs of the period was fifty runs and over.
 The National League was organized at meeting held in New York, Feb. 2, 1875. n1S74 the Athletics and Bos- tons visited England and played both baseball and cricket matches.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS QUIET.

New York, Oct 24.-The railroad la bor sith%tioH continued to exercise a pow erful influence over the stock market today. althought trustworthy advices sug- Eested that earnest efforts towards a compromise of existing differences were actively under way.
 London and continental centers were nervous in consequence of the Irish and Hngarian situations and the local mon ev market stiffened as a result of last Saturdays large loss of cash reservea by c,earing house institutions.
 Dealing in rails were not especially large and gains in those stocks held with in limited bounds, but domestic oils, ai-9 equipments, motors and various af- fiiiated specialties made extreme advanc- es of 1 to I points.
 Foreign oils denoted a recurrence of last weeks liquidation of those issues Royal Dutch and. shell transport were un- der intermittent pressure. as was also Mexican Petroleum, in which the shorts finally were driven to cover
 Steels manifested all of their recent irregularity but the course If those stocks indicated that the speculative element had discounted any unfavorable features of the United States Steel quarterly state ment. which will be issued after the close of tonorrLw's session. Sales amounted to $50 o0o shares.
 The per cent. opening rate for call loare was advanced 515 per cent at mid-day and S per cent. in the final hour. without interference, however. to the higher trend of many industrial and scelancous issues. Time funds were unchanged and commercial paper and bank acceptances remained steady.
 Exchanges on London and other i'm. portant European points did not reflect political condito1s. Sterling rose to z fraction of is maximum figure for the current movement and even the German mark held firm, despite the fall of the Wirth ministry, but Far Eastern rates especially the Chinese quotations, reacted sharply

IDENTIFICATION OF WOMAN'S
 BODY IS STILL LACKING

New York, Oct. 24.-Tonight, four days after the dismembered body of a girl had been found in a ond in Long Island City, Identification was lacking, despite the utmost efforts of the po- lice.
 Nor has the medical examiners office been any more successful in establishing the cause Of death. Ever the day of death remains conjectura,. Confusing to the police in their search for clues was the arrival at the morgue of a number of women convinced that the body was that of a missing sister, daughter or friend. Only two succeed ed in convincing the authorities that they might be even distantly connected with the murder victim. The others however, became greatly excited and said she was sure it was her sister Dol y who, she said she knew by intui- tion,' had been murdered
 Police did not credit the woman's identification, saying that she was over wrought. Dolly was described as hav- ing one gold tooth, while the murder victim had none.
 1 Dolly was separated from her hus- band, who had made several attempts to persuade her to return to him.
 The DO ice have begun distribution ol pictures of the girl, hoping in this way to establish her identity. In addition tc their efforts to locate the store that solo the oil clot hin which the body was wrapped, they had placed in their hand; a woman's suit of blue serge which may prove a valuable clue
 This suit, with plaid trimmings, wa: brought to the police by a man who said his daughter had seen the bundl, l
 bile by two men. The measurements 0 the garments indicated they would hav fit the murdered girl, whi,e the mater ial of the suit corresponded with gar ment found in the oil cloth bundle en Iveloping the body. A portion of tht skirt, a wide, plaited garment, bore traces of ground cinders, such as migh result from dragging the body of tn
 wearer along the ground.
 The medical examiners report, fo which the police have been eagerly wait
 ing, proved far from definite. It close with the statement that the chemica examination would not be concluded fo
 several weeks.
 According to Chief Medical Examine Norris, examination of heart and lung
 showed nothing abnormal there was II
 evidence of strangulation the skull ha
 not peeu lIdctuFeu, the DoQN helCi Il scars or bruises, and the brain bore Il
 trace of chloroform.
 The official description of the bod stated that it was that of "youn
 adult, female" with abundant hair C
 Tight fox color" and eyes of dark btu
 Indications that the girl might hay been of good birth were well shape ears of medium size, small hands wit s nails well manicured and free froI
 marks of hard labor and the fnenes
 of the hair
