LOCAL LADIES' AUXILIARY.
RECEIVE HIGHEST PRAISE

The yearly report Of the American
Legion Auxiliary Of Manning has re-
ceived honorable mention and the
members Of this unit are now heartily
cooperating with the work as plan
ned by the State and National Com
mittecs to commemorate those who
made the supreme sacrifice, as well as
relief work among the disabled who
arc living the war over in our
hospitals. There is big field ahead.
The following letter has been receiv-
ed by the Unit President from Mrs.
James Cathcart State President:
Columbia, S. c., Oct. 2, 1922.
Dear Mrs. Geiger,
/ received your letter with the copy
OF your last years report I think
this report is splendid and am sorry
you were not at Florence to make it.
am writing to urge you to send me
as soon as possible a good account of
the meeting your unit had last week,
so can use it in our publicity column.
In our new constitution there is a
clause saying that the units must
have monthly meetings, and we want
to help the weaker units by letting
them know what the strong links in
the chain are doing. I do hope each
unit will do some hospital work every
month, l hope that they will CO.
operate with The Red Cross in it's
work for the eX-service men, and back
up every movement for good in the
| community. TO keep the faith we
must go forward and work for a bet
ter citizenship. The National Ameri-
can Legion offers prize every month
to the post doing the biggest piece of
constructive work. We have no money
in our little organization, but we can
and must do something to make the
sacrifices made by thousands of our
men worth while. Out of the first
100000 men drafted in the army
there were 100000 who could not
read or write letters, could not even be
written to the loved ones at home.
They could not even read The Word
| of God. We have a big national COM
mittee on Americanism, one of the
objects of this committee is the cradi-
cation of illiteracy. Please appoint
a committee on Americanism in your
unit. Miss Will Lou Gray field agcNt
| for The South Carolina nlitcracy
Commission is preparing a list Of
practical ways we can help the work
| of this commission. I will send you
| this later. / am enclosing beautiful
prayer for the disabled. Please read
this at your next monthly meeting.
Cordially,
Annie Shaw Cathcart.

feels herself part of the College.
She inherited membership in the
institution when she enrolled as a
student and she retains this member

portance to the College is of great
interest to her.

through organization and in response
to an article in recent issue Of this
paper, several Winthrop graduates
and former students are planning for
a get-together meeting Of all those
living in Clarendon County who have

BRADHAM HOGS WIN AT
STATE FAIR THIS WEEK

H. II. Bradham, proprietor of the
Bradham Duroc Farm, has just re-
turned from the State Fair at Raleigh
where his hogs won many handsome
prizes and were most favorably COM
mented upon. A young boar raised on
this farm took three blue ribbons and
was declared junior champion by the
judges, defeating hogs from three
states for this honor
This outcome indicates that North
Carolina is coming to the front in hog
raising and that Rocky Mount is play
ing its part in the Rocky
Mount Evening Telegram.

Asked to Issue Order

Associated ~Sif'0i Press os.j The hy sSpro1ne ene
Court of the United States will be
asked to issue an order restraining
the government from enforcing the
prohibition laws against transpor-
tation of liquor on orcign ships
touching American ports and on
American ships outside of Ameri-
can coastal waters. Counsel for the
ship lines which instituted the or
iginal proceedings before Federal
Judge Hand in New York were in
Washington today preparing the
Associate Justice Brandies. Being
assigned to the second circuit-in
which New York City is located Mr..
Brandeis would have supervision
over matters before Judge Hands
court and a position for q super
sedas order to hold up that courts
dismissal of the ship companies in
junction case would be filed with
him.
If granted, the supersedas order
would prevent interference with
normal operation of the fleet of the
appellants until the legal point at
issue had been decided by the Su-
preme Court.
Unless counsel for the shipping
companies can prevail upon Justice
Brandeis to issue the order, Federal
officers normally would be required
to proceed to enforce the statute as
soon as Judge Hand formally signs
the final order. Under preccdents
Justices of the Supreme Court are
not inclined to grant injunctionc
while the court is in session preferr-
ing that such requests shall he sub-
mitted to and acted upon by the court
will not again meet until November
IL.
Administration officials indicated
today that, even in the absence of
a specific restraining order the gov
ernment was not inclined to enforce
strictly the liquor ruling promulgated
by the Department Of Justice so long
as it's legality was before the courts.
Temporary regulations which would
be in effect pending a final decision
were laid before secretary Mellon to-
day but were withheld from publica-
tion until they have reviewed by At
torney General Daugherty.
1t was understood that enforcement
agents would be instructed in these
regulations that certain latitude
was permissible both as regards me-
dicinal alcoholic supplies and stocks
designed for "grog" for crews, in
cases where such issuance was a leg
al requirement of their government or
long established custom. Judge
Hand in dismissing the injunction pc
tition announced that he would make
an exception covering liquor on board
ships for either of these purposes.

ALLIES REACH AN AGREEMENT

Paris, Oct. 24.-(By the Associat-
Gd freSs. "A modification of Great
Britain's position regarding rcpara-
tions, indicated by Sir John Brand
bury at a meeting of the rcparations
commission this afternoon will make
1T possible for the commissio nto leave
Paris for Berlin Sunday with a unani-
nous Allied agreement on what meas
urcs will be imposed on Gcrmany's fl
nancial administration for the pur-
pose OF averting a total collapse of
that country's finances.
The unanimous decision to go to
Berlin was taken after Sir John
had definitely made known that he
on behalf of Great Britain was
willing to vote to declare Germany
IN voluntary default of her agree
ment, should she refuse to carry out
within reasonable time requests
for internal reforms which the
commission will make in Berlin.
This was a big surprise to the
reparations commission since it
was decided concession to the
French viewpoint.
Heretofore the British repre-
sentative had refused to declare
Germany in default under any
conditions and also had declined
to. be a party to any move which
might be construed as interfering
with Germany's internal affairs.
The entire commission, including
Roland w. Boyden, American mof-
neal representative and Co. James
A. Logan, Jr., acting in similar
mission, will leave for Berlin Sun
day evening to confer with Chan
ccilor Wirth and other German
cabinet members on the financial
crisis in Germany and the threaten
ed total collapse of the mark.
The opinion Of all members of
the commission and the American
observers was that unless radical
measures were taken to stop the
depreciation of the mark, the Al
lied powers would be faced with a
German financial collapse.
Members of the body said the
question Of how much Germany
could pay within the next two
years, as we'll as that relating to
delivery of merchandise, might be
settled as result of the Berlin
trip.
Rcparations schemes will remain
in suspense until the Berlin invcs-
| tigation is completed although one
of the objects Of the trip, it is
| stated, will be to impc"r further
financial restrictions upon Ger
many.
The visit is also expected to have
an important influence on the
question of the proposed Brussels
! conference on reparations and in
ter A llicd debts.
The reparations commission in a
comm,mique described the trip as
| "for the purpose of discussing with
| the German government measures
which the commission may Judge
necessary to ensure the balancing
0 fthc budget and effect the stabi-
liZation Of the mark"

LEAVE BABY GIRL
ON FRONT PORCH

Anderson, Oct. 24.--Tuckcd Sc
curely away in a drummcrs trav-
cling case two months old baby
girl, poSscsslong glorious pair of
brown eyes and Il shock Of raven
halr which causes mothers heart
to surge with an ineffablc JOY and
contcntment, last night as the vii
lagc curfew tollcd the midnight
hour, adorned the front porch of
Mr.; J. f. Martin. prominent farmer,
residing at High Point, some six
miles below Bolton. The hurried
swish of a woman's dress, the rhyth-
mic purring of motor and the
provcrbial stork which had assumed
the form of a woman wearing a No.
2 size shoe, disappeared in the di-
rcction Of Bcltom, up the suburban
highway, deserted at such an hour
of the night.
In addition to the infant, the
drummer's case contained many
pretty baby clothes and a gallon
bottle of milk, obviously surgcs-
ton as to the tastes Of the Young
stcr. Mr.. and Mrs. Martin were
reused by the noise of the auto
mobile and rushed to the front door
in time TO see the car disappear in
the dark kncss. Mrs. Martin was not
in the least perturbcd by the un-
expected visit of the youngster,
neither is she at loss as to a
course Of action. On the contrary,
she appears greatly delighted and
contends that from now on it will
be her very own. Mr. Martin is a
prominent farmer of Anderson
County and was formerly chief Of
police Of Belton.

fell to Miss Rose Erwin; the dime to

Although they be disabled for life,

with holy patriotism and joy that

Chicago, June 1s.-Powcr to rally from a price break of more than seven cents compared with. last weeks high point, showed itself in, the wheat market to- day. Assertions that wheat values were being reduced below the cost of produc tion tended somewhat to bring about up- turns. The. close vas steady Is cent to 5-S cent net higher, with July S11o 1-4 to s1.1o- S-s and September $110 6-s to Sf.1o' 3-4. Corn finished unchanged to f-443-S cent of, oats down 1-2 cent to l 1-e. and provisions varying from five cents dee'ine to scevcn cents ad- vance.
 Except for a moderate initial setback due to heavy margin calls gent out last night, the wheat market throughout the day. displayed sufficient strength to keep above yesterdays final quotations. The fact that the calling of margins caused no extensive new forcei selling on the part of holders did 2 good deal to inspire more confidence among traders here and besides the Liverpool market
 had undergone less Of a fall than wae expected in view of the tumble yesterday in American values.
 Failing off in country offerings of wheat helped revive courage of buyers and there were advices that Italy was continuing Q purchase. On the other hand. British dealers were again deport- ed as canceli:ag purchases and there were favorable conditions everywhere for the ripening and harvesting of the do- .mestic winter crop. Gossip that black rust had been found near Kensel, North Dakota, in the spring crop belt, was cir culated near the end of the session but apparently had little effect On the mar ket .Profit-taking or. the part of pit ! trading was more than offset at the { last.
 Corn sagged in sympathy with the cat.
