Senator Dial has introduced an
amendent to the cotton futures law
providing that a buyer Of cotton can
demand delivery of half his purchase
in any two Of the ten specified grades
and the exchange seller can deliver
the other half in any two of the re-
naming specified grades. AS it is now,
the buyer has to take whatever the
seller offers, and that, Of course, is
always the cheapest cotton, with the
result that the transaction can have no
wholesome influence on a legitimate
market. What ought to be done, of
course, is to abolish future gambling
entirely.

Tho American Legion baseball
team cleaned up the team of the Jack
King Comedy company last Satur-
day afternoon to the tune of to
with little effort. The comedy COM
pany came here boastinS of having
played twelve games in the different
towns'it had visited so far this season
and won them all. 1t defeated the
high school boys without much effort
on Wednesday. Up to that time the
Legion boys had not played as a
team; but they decided to see what
they could do with the comedians on
Thursday, with the result already
but the comedians were clearly out
classed. There was no game on Fri
day, mainly, BECAUSE Jack King had
been badly spiked on a base in the pre-
ynous game and was too sore to play.
Really he was not in good shape Sat-
urday. Thursdays game having af-
forded the .Legiohairies an opportunity
for a little team, work, they came out
in better shape, and made quick work
OF it. The Comedians, though game
enough, were. e.generous enough to ad-
NIT that .they.were not only badly
outclassed: but considerably sur
prised. Baseball experts: generally
who know the .Legionaries, and who
have seen them play are confident
that the town now has the best team
it has ever. had, not excepting the
semi professionals that it used to en-
ploy in the old days, and they figure
that neighborinG towns that aspire
baseball honors this summer are go
ing to be entitled to all they can get
off the, .lcgionaries.

One question or immediate import
ance before the senate is the ratillca :
ton of the pending treaty with Colom-
bia and involving the payment ol
$4,000. 900 to that country by the
United States. The treaty was ne
gotiated by the Wilson administration
and ii has the full endorsement oil Alr.
Harding, who thinks it is the best way
out of an unpleasant situation. 1t Will
be remembered that while Roosevelt
was negotiating with Colombia for 4
right Of way across Panama there
came IL hitch that looked as If IL
was going TO spoil everything. Co!om-
hil wanted more than the Cn1eo
States wls willing to give. Then there
broke out in Panama Il revolution that
resulted in secession that was COM
monty believed TO have had assistance
from Roosevelt. Roosevelt always
denied this however. Anyhow the
United States promptly recognized the
independence Of pananEl and secured
that were exactly as de-
sired. But Colombia his befn huily
ever since and the administration be-
lcvcs it is desirable TO Straightcn this
out with golden S;llvc. The treaty
comes 10 II vote in the Sc nate tomorrow,
and it is believed that it will br rati-
fled.

The most significant price cut that
has so far occurred during the read
justment period is that Of steel, which
occurred last Friday-a cut which will
average about 81 a ton. Cotton is as
important as steel perhaps, as Il ba-
rometer Of industry; but cotton can be
cut with little difficulty at any time.
Steel is q monopoly-a one man mo-
nopoly, at that, it might be said. Judge
Gary is the autocrat Of the steel trade.
He has been saying for some time that
he would neither cut prices nor reduce
wages. Building has been at Il practi-
cal standstill all over the country walt
ing for 4 cut in steel. AS to whether
the cut has been deep enough Is still
@l question that remains to be solved 4;
but anyhow the fact that there has
been Il cut is OF tremendous import
ancr. Everything has now come down
Il little except rents, and they've got
to come next. :.

Perhaps the first women in. the
state to be appointed on the board of
health were made members Of that
body last Friday by Mayor George w.
McKerrall Of Florence. Mrs. Frank
Watson and Miss Leila Johnson were
the recipients of''this unique honor.
Other members appointed to the board
are as follows: DR.. c. S. Howell, Char
lie Dozier and W. B. Cox. Due to a
rupture between the board of health
and the town council, the board hand
ed in it's resignation some days ago and
if became necessary for the mayor to
appoint another board. Some months
ago the women of the town expressed
the desire that they have representa-
tives on the board. Many OF them
were of the opinion that their sex
should have some part in the "house-
keeping of the town." In compliance
with their wishes the new mayor is
giving them a tryout.

member that the per cent. penalty

There are probably more cotton seed
in the county at the present time than
ever:berore at this season. The people
have not sold so generally because OF
the falling prices and then again THE
requirements for farming have been
lighter than usual. There is still
market for cotton seed but the mills
are not especially anxious to get them
for the reason that they can no longer
get nearly enough for oil to pay for
the crushing and the demand for meal
and hulls has not been brisk enough
to take care of the heavy stocks on
hand.

Judge Ben &. Lindsay Of the juvenile
court of Denver Colorado, is making
the most Of the threat Of the county
court to punish him for contempt OF
court under peculiar circumstances. 1t
seems that Il woman was on trial for
Il murder committed several years ago,
and it became known that the woman 5
son had talked confidcntially TO Judge
Lindsay about it. The county court
tried To get Judge Lindsay to tell what
the boy had told him. The judge re-
fused on the ground that the commu-
was privileged. The county
court judge reminded him that the
penalty for refusal 20 tell was IL fine OF
$500 or Il Jail term. Judge Lindsay an
nounced that he would take his medi-
cine. There have been many offers or
outside people to pay the fine, but the
Judge has refused to consent to any
thing Of the kind. He says he would
gladly go to Jail if necessary rather
than betray the confidence Of the boy.

gan requested in Il letter TO Gov John
j. Blaine authority TO institute vigor
Gus prosecution against cold storage
plants found to be violating the laws.
Governor Blaine gave assurance of
permission. Dairy and Food Commits
sioner George ]. Weigle found numer-
Gus instances of violation of law and
in two instances fragrant disregard of
pure food regulationss Action has beea
started in several cases. In one ease
a company was served with warrant
charging violation on 40 counts, and
in another seven counts are alleged.
Thousands of pounds Of foodstuffs and
hundreds Of cases of eggs were found
stored for periods exceeding the twelve
months limit. In another instance,
there were found foods that had no
time marking at all. This is against
the law. The dairy and food commits
sion charged the company with selling
the food as fresh produce.

Committee Of Fifteen of Racine II
establishes a precedent in the case of

it plain that it is not an official opin-
ion. This is not subject on which
this department can render an official
opinion" he wrote the Racine commit
tee. Il understand the fund pledge
card, stating the conditions on which
this money was subscribed for war re-
lief, bears the following: Any moneys
or property remaining in this fund at
the conclusion of peace and after the
foregoing purposes have been salts
fed, shall be used for such Racine
county public charitable objects as
the committee may determine The
fund pledge card referred to is be-
Heved to have been generally used by
all committees in the state and there
fore the decision would apply to their
cases. The Racine committee proposes
10 build a public auditorium as a me-
mortal. 1T is my opinion the erection
of such public auditorium as me-
mortal to the Racine county war he
rOes would satisfy the clause above
quoted as being charitable object"
wrote Morgan. II think it is justified
on two grounds: First, an auditorium
for public use would be a charitable
use and public benefit; second, such
memorial would be lasting means of
perpetuating the patriotism of the
community, without which the coun-
try could not endure, and would be OF
perpetual educational and spiritual
benefit to the public"
