funeral expenses"
AS he went out of the door, he
added: Zone dollars a lot better
than $780,"

Moultrie, Ca, Aug. ia Pavo
man walked into the general offices
of the Georgia Northern Railroad
here Friday and paid 81 cents he said
he had been owing the companysince
July 1917. He said the money was
for ticket he bought from Pavo to
Noultrie and redeemed after the
conductor failed to take it up. His
conscience had been hurting him for
months, he said, and added that he
felt like he would never have any
more peace until he made full resti-
tutoin.
The man declined to give his
name, saying just call me Smith,
that is as good as anything. 1t was
the first conscience money the rail
road ever received, it was said, but
an official Of the company stated that
if any other "Smiths" were worried
by their conscience they would be
cordially received if they came in to
pay up.

GETS MORE ENDORSEMENT
Encouragement Comes From Spar
tanburg and Barnwell.

Columbia, August 15.-Reports
from Spartanburg and Marion coun.
ties received at the headquarters od
the South Carolina Division Of the
American Cotton Association and
the South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association were of a
most encouraging nature, it was
said today.
Good progress is being made in
both counties in securing signatures
to the cooperative marketing con.
tracts, it was declared.
Hearty approval Of the movement
was contained in q letter received at
headquarters yesterday from Sena.
tor A. M. Kennedy of Barnwen coun-
ty. 'The press accounts of the enthu-
siasm with which the cotton farmers
of our state are subscribing to the
cooperative marketing plan is in
tensely gratifying and it is without
any reservation whatever that I
heartily indorse the movement" F"
wrote Senator Kennedy, banker,
merchant and cotton dealer.
81 have never engaged in the cul-
tivation of cotton to any consider
able extent myself but have all Of
my business life been handling this
product as a dealer and have long
realized that without te cooperation
of the farmers in an effort to i'm
prove the marketing conditions, the
producer would never get the value
of his product"

nounced today that signed contracts
representing 1922 bales were re-
ceived yesterday from Marion coun-

RAT BUILDS NEST OF MONEY

Anderson, S. c., Aug. 13.-Osten-
tation and vulgar display of wealth
must have been the motive of fam
lily of rats which built their "home"
entirely of United States currency,
the bills being of one, five and, ten
dollar denominations. The rat nest
was found in the roof of the old
Bradley home in Anderson county
which is being remodeled. Strange to
say, there was no trash in the nest,
the ball being composed entirely OF
shredded money. Miser-like, the old
rat had died in the midst of his
wealth, for his skeleton was found
in the middle of the Expensive little
home"

GREAT BOOZE CELLAR
BRINGS BIG PRoBELM

Washington, Aug. 13.-An over
stocked national booze cellar that
nobody knows how to empty is one
of the unusual heritages of Uncle
Sam under the prohibition law.
The anamalous story of how, in a
land of drought, liquor obtained by
confscation has become white ele-
phant on the hands of the govern
ment was told to the cabinet today
by Attorney General Daugherty,
arousing discussion which led no
where except to a decision to inves-
tigate further.
The attorney general told the
president and department heads that
large sums of much needed govern
hent funds were being eaten up in
storage house rentals and policing
expenses to keep liquor that the
government did not want. An even
greater economic waste would result
if the liquor is, poured into
the sewer and it was suggested that
a way might be found to extract the
alcohol for commercial purposes or
to turn the liquor itself to some legi-
innate use. The law says how it is to
be "confscated" but doesn't say how
to dispose of it.

LOWER RAIL RATES
WILL HELP FARMERS
Stronger Hope for Better Prices in
Agricultural Markets Justi-
fed by Reductions

Washington, Aug. 13.-Strong
hope for better prices in the agricul-
tural markets is justified by reduc-
tions in the railroad rates on grain
for export already in effect and pro-
posed, according to a statement is
sued at the White House tonight.
Recent reductions in the export
rate on grains between Chicago and
New York, the statement said, will
be followed by sweeping revisoins
OF grain rates generally including
those from Mississippi river points
and on the lines to the gulf in, order
that the entire country may fully
share in the benefits.
"In general" the statement con
tinued, advances in freight rates
are passed on to tn, consumer by
adding them to the selling price.
But in grains whose domestic price
is dominated by the foreign price Of
the exported surplus, the producer
suffers when rates 60 up and bene-
fits when they 60 down. Therefore
though the exports represent a minor
share of the total grain production
the lowering Of export rates affects
the entire crp. These reductions of
rates, together with the arrange
ments for financial assistance to ex-
port trade and the assurance that
Europe is going to need eNtraordi-
nary quantities of American food
stuffs, cnstitute altogether a justifi-
cation for strong hope that the ten
dency in the agricultural markets
will for some time be decidedly to
ward better prices"

TO REMAIN IN JAIL
RATHER THAN TALK
Mrs. Obenehain Does Not Want To
Be Unfair To Person
Not Named.

! Los Angeles, Aug. 13.-Because
she does not want to be unfair "to
person in whose innocence" she be-
aieves, Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain
indicted for murder in connection
with the Staying Of John Beltor
Kennedy, in an interview today de-
clared she preferred to remain in
Jail rather than tell anything further
regarding the events leading up to
the death of Kennedy whom she
one day hoped to marry,
She said she might previously
have given details that would have
shed light on the tragedy and gain.
ed freedom for herself had she not
been "dazed" when first held by the
police. ...
She refused to name the person
who she claims would be the suf-
ferer should she tell her story.
When asked if it was Arthur G.
Burch, also indicted in connection
with the Kennedy Staying, she re-
fused to answer, saying, "Mr. Burch
is not talking. Why should ] dis
cuss his affairs?"
Developments today were sparse.
The stock Of a double barreled shot
gun found in the ocean near Santa
Monico canyon and turned over to
te sheriff last night, was tested today
to determine whether it was twelve
gauge gun.
The shells found at the home of
the slain man, who was killed a
week ago tonight by charge of
shot, were from a twelve-gauge gun.
It also was stated that experts
would be called to compare the firing
pin on the recovered portion of the
gun with the identifcations on the
shells found where Kennedy was
shot. -

PROPOSE A BRIDGE
ACROSS THE HUDSON
Tunnel For Vehicles Under Con.
struction to Be Completed
BY 1924.

New York, Aug. 13.-Projects for
linking Manhattan with New Jersey
by a vehicular tunnel and bridge
are expected to diminish the number
of persons who reside on the island
below Central Park.
The resident population Of lower
Manhattan decreased by 100000 in
the decade of 1910 to 1920 and every
time a new building is erected it
seems to shrink still more. This is
because the motive for nearly all
construction from Fifty-ninth street
down to the Battery is business, not
bedrooms.
New means of communication with
New Jersey are expected to result in
further business demands upon low
er Manhattan's limited space.
New Jersey and New York are now
linked only by ferries, tube trains
and one railroad tunnelled beneath
the Hudson. :As. I. ~.r..:. .>'"-s,e
y The vehicplar tunnel built by pub
lie funds of New York and New Jer-
sey is expected to be completed by
1924. Construction of the approaches
to the tube was begun several months
ago. It leaves Manhattan Island
downtown, at a point below Four
teenth street.
The proposed bridge, which private
interests are promoting, would cost
5000, 100000. A corporation has been
organized and is seeking capital.
This bridge would rise from New
York near Fifty-ninth street and
descend into New Jersey at Wee
hawken. Most of the ferries and all
the tubes are below this point, but
the growth of business in New York
has already driven out many dwell
1ings as far north as 5eth street and
substituted office and loft structures.
The bridges lower deck would ac-
commodate twelve railroad tracks
while on the upper span there would
be room for sixteen vehicular path
ways, four trolley lines and two
broad promenades. Supporting tow
ers on either end of the over-water
span would be taller than the Wool
worth building.
In addition to these pathways be-
tween the two states, third is pro-
posed in bill introduced in congress
to give a private corporation permis-
sion to build a pontoon bridge across
the Hudson at Yonkers, just above
New York city. Promoters of this
scheme point out that the vehicular
tunnel may not be ready for five
years, while it would take even long
er to erect the proposed bridge at
Fifty-ninth street, but pontoons
could be strung across the water
quickly.

\ MAN THERE WAS'' IS COMING ID 1HE COLUMBIA TUESDAY

Lovers of Tbsen will be delighted to learn that Mauk's Columbia the ater has secured for next Tuesday and Wednesday his famous master piece, "A Man There Was"
 In "A Man There Was" Ibsen bold ly takes up the clash between two great instincts of human nature;- ;- "Eye for eye" and Love thy ene- mies." And by means of an in tensely human treatment of the sub feet. he brings it up to a climax never before reached on the screen.
 A young sailor, Terje Vixen, low ing to distraction his wife and baby, learns one day that the island of their abode has been blockaded by the enemy, and that the inhabitants are doomed to starvation.
 To save his wife and child, TerJe tries to run the blockade in tiny rowboat, to get bread from neigh boring shore. He is captured, thrown into prison, and five years later when freeed, he finds his wife and child dead and strangers in possession of his home. He retires to an island to live in seclusion and ply his trade as pilot. One day he discerns a sig nal of distress coming from a yacht and upon reaching the boat finds that the owner is the captain of the man of war, that captured him and caused his wife and child to die. Ano
