hour later. His son, Oscar, plowing
in a field close by saw the
team running and went to head them
off, when he saw his father lying
on the ground. Help was summoned
at once and Mr.. Wickstrom taken to
the house, but he died before medical
aid could reach the farm.
A large bruise on Mr.. Wickstrom's s
forehead from some terrific blow ap-
pears to have been the cause of his

mon. Interment was made in Sum-
nit Cemetery.

bons and Miss Clarice Gibbons to
Chimney Rock Sunday. They left
Abbeville about z o'clock in the
morning, and reached Chimney

RAILWAY UNIONS
PRESENT PLANS
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
NOT TO BE ISSUE-LABOR
BODY AGREES TO WITH.
HOLD REAFFIRMAIuoN OF
STAND IN FAVOR OF POLICY

Cincinnati, June 2O.-Govern-
ment ownership and operation of
the railroads will not be an issue in
the threatened strike of 100000
shop workers and others, spokes-
men for the rail unions told the
American Federation of Labor
convention today which responded
to their request by Withholding a
reafirmation of the federation's
stand in favor of the adoption of
such policy.
"The rail unions have not aban-
doned the program of public own
ership, or grown lukewarm or in
different" declared William H.
Johnston, president Of the ma
chinists' union, in explaining the
request. eve ask no declaration,
however, because we have a most
unfriendly and unsympathetic ad-
ministration at this time. Our enc
mics would say if the strike occurs
in the very near future that the
fight was for government owner
ship. I believe the strike is inevi-
table for there is no other way out
and we want the issue clear out.
The issue is the amelioration Of
the wrongs committed by the rail-
road labor board"
Similar pleas by others, who are
the prospective leaders in the
threateed walk out, led Max Hayes
Of Cleveland to withdraw his mo-
ton for a redeclaration Of the
government ownership policy. The
question was injected into the con-
vention's work when it, for a Sec
ond time during the day, went on
record as favoring repeal Of the
transportation act, In which con-
nection it denounced the railroad
board for it's order, especially
those reducing wages and changing
working conditions.
In addition to its big program Of
work, the convention was marked
by the beginning Of a movement to
run Mr.. Lewis as a. candidate for
president of the federation in op-
position to the reelection of Samuel
Gompers.

FLOOD SITUATION
|SVERY SERIOUS

San Antonio, Texas, June 20.-
Twenty-one thousand acres Of Rio
Grande Valley land with crops valued
at s2,5O0,000 flooded in Hidalgo
county, a fresh rise in the lower
stretches of the Rio Grande as the
result of flood waters which came
down late yesterday from the San
Juan river in Mexico, while the cloud
burst food of the upper river is near
ing it's crest at Laredo, $50 miles up
stream, summarized the border flood
situation early today.
Meanwhile the fate of $4,000 in
habitants of Piedraas Negras Mexico
across the river from Eagle Pass, iso-
lated since railroad and highway
bridges were swept out Sunday night
is causing grave concern.
The city, is surrounded by water
and the food supply is thought to be
short.
The flood stage at Laredo this
morning was 27 feet and rising. Late
last night a stage Of 40 feet was re-
ported at Palafox, 81 miles upstream
and that border village was threaten
ed with inundation. Apparently the
flood is travelling at the rate of IL
miles an hour. It's crest probably will
not reach the swollen stretches OF the
lower Rio Grande before late Wed
!nesday.
The section, situated in the Hill
dago and Cameron counties, contains
nearly twenty prosperous towns and
lis a highly developed agricultural
section settled largely by farmers
from the middle western states. The
total population exceeds 100000.

provement after being taken to the

came worse and died at 3:45 o'clock.

of law. Mr.. McIver served as secre-
tary to Representative Hemphill in
Washington and then returning to
Cheraw took up the practice Of his
profession. For years he was leader
of the Cheraw bar, MS knowledge of
the law being given official recogni-
ton in 1918 when he was named
Judge of the Fourth judicial circuit.

WELCOME
CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT
CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE UNITED
STATES APPEARS AT BAN
oUET-GREAT LEGAL MINDS
OF ENGLAND JOIN WITH FIVE
MEMBERS OF CABINET.

London, June 20.-Britain's fore
most statesmen, jurists and lawyers
and a great body of American friends
joined in an impressive reception to
William Howard Taft, chief justice of
the United States, upon his first pub
lie appearance in England tonight
he was the guest of honor at the Pill
grims' banquet at which five members
of the cabinet, many former cabinet
ministers and the greatest legal minds
in the country lent their presence.
Rarely before has visiting Am
erican received such a spontaneous
welcome. The king, the Prince OF
Wales and Duke of Connaught sent
messages of greeting and the Earl Of
Balfour and the Very, Rev. William
Ralph LUCE, dean Of st. Paul's, testi-
fled to the affection and admiration
in which Mr.. Taft is held by the
English people.
Those who sat at the principal ta-
'bles with Lord Desborough, Chief JUS
tice Taft and Ambassador Harvey in
cluded the Archbishop Of Canterbury
the Earl of Balfour, the Earl of Der
by, the Earl of Devonshire, Viscount
Cave, Lord Lee of Fareham, Lord
Carson, Lord Buckmaster, Lord Sum-
ner and James M. Beck, solicitor gen.
eral of the United States.
The other guests included Viscount
Astor, the American consul general,
Robert P. Skinner, and the staff Of
the American embassy.
Mr.. Taft proceeded briefly to re-
view the history of the relations be-
tween Great Britain and America, in
the course of which he said: "No
trouble arises between the two coun-
tries that we of America do not look
forward to it's settlement either by
negotiation or by arbitration. Any
other event is not considered for a
moment. This American state of mind
is a constant factor in our relations
it sometimes produces an apparent
indifference or lack of excitement on
the part of our people over irritating
issues that is misleading to the Brit
ish observer"

WILL HAVE VOTE
ON SHIP SUBSIDY

Washington, June 20.-President
Harding tonight gave formal approx
al to plans of Republican leaders in
the house to bring the administra-
tion ship subsidy bill to vote at this
session Immediately after the tariff
bill has been sent to conference by
the house.
The presidents position was stated
in a letter to Representative Mon
dell of Wyoming, the Republican
leader, which embodies also detailed
arguments advanced by Mr.. Harding
in favor of enactment of the meas
ure at the present session.
Public interest will not admit of a
postponement of decision on the pol
icy to the next congress or, the ap-
preaching short session, the president
said, but advantage will result in a
delay of a short time while house
members particularly, many Of whom
are now away from Washington, con-
suit their constituents. The subsidy
bill he declared, is needed to get
the governments ship holdings into
private hands and into economic US
age, if for nothing else, and this
question, he held, is "not to be pre-
JUDGED by the old and wornout cry
against subsidy"
The exact time fixed for voting on
the measure, the president said in
describing his agreement with house
leaders, is Approximately such time
as house members will be called in
active attendance to send the tariff
bill to conference"

DELAY TO COME
FOR BONUS BILL
MADE SPECIAL ORDER AFTER
TARIFF-MOVES TO UPSET
PLANS OF REPUBLICAN MA
JORITY FAIL-MUCH TIME is
CONSUMED.

Washington, June 20.-The SOL
diers' bonus bill was made today by
a vote of So to 8 the special order
of business of the senate Immediate
ly after the final vote on the tariff
bill, unless it is disposed of before
that time.
Adoption Of motion to this effect
came after an all day fight at the out
set of which an effort to get the bon
US before the senate failed. Several
senators gave formal notice that they
would continue to press for action
on the bonus ahead Of the tariff.
A move to upset the program Of
the Republican majority calling for
action first on the tariff was launched
by Senator Walsh (Democrat) Of
Massachusetts,, who made formal
motion that the tariff bill be displac-
ed by the bonus. Senator Watson
(Republican) of Indiana moved to
lay this motion on the table and his
motion prevailed 81 to %. Eight
Democrats supported the Watson mo-
tion and two Republicans voted a.
gainst it.
9 With the announcement of the re-
suit of this vote the bonus row began
in earnest and waged continuously
for five hours. In the midst Of it, Sem
ator Watson of Indiana offered mo-
ton that the bonus be made a spe-
cial order of business Immediately
after the final vote on the tariff and
that thereafter it be held continuous
ly before the senate unless two-thirds
of the senate voted to displace it.
Senator Underwood of Alabama,
the Democratic leader, and an oppo-
nent of the bonus, made a point Of
order against the two-thirds vote pro-
vision, pointing out that this was In
the nature of an amendment to an
amendment to the senate rules. The
point of order was sustained and that
provision was withdrawn.

FAVORABLE ASPECT
FOR BIG BUSINESS
STEEL PRODUCTION AT RECORD
FIGURE FOR YEAR-MORE
COKE PLANTS IN OPERATION
AND MORE BLAST FURNACES
BEING BLOWN IN. -

New York, June 2O.-lndustrlal
and financial conditions in the last
week presented generally favorable
aspect, Notwithstanding the reaction
ary tendency in the securities market,
which apparently was connected with
the technical speculative position.
Steel production exceeded the best
rate previously attained this year.
More coke plants were started and
more blast furnaces blown in. Coal
production was greater and some OBJ
servers believe that plants were in
preparation for reopening union min
es in the Pittsburgh district. .-...
Detroit employment figures show
ed another increase, thus confirming
statements Of automobile manufac-
turers as to the continuation Of sat-
|isfactory business.
Railroad car loading figures con-
tinue good, although the absolute
number reported. during the week
end, June 8, was smaller than in the
previous week, the rate was higher,
if allowance be made for the Memo
rial day holiday. ,..'... .s.-
A similar calculation showed that
the gain in the absolute amount Of
cotton consumed by mills during May
as compared with April was not ac-
counted for merely by the greater
number Of working days in the later
month. Mays takings correspond al
most exactly to the average for the
last ten months, which in turn were
% per cent. greater than those in
the corresponding period Of a year
ago. If the present rate Of consump-
ton is continued during June and
July the total for the crop year will
amount to nearly 100000 bales. Ex-
ports during the same interval will
have drawn slightly more than an
other 100000 bales from our sup
ply. AS the actual yield of the last
crop totaled 100000 bales, it was
believed that the carryover will have
been reduced by approximately A.
100000 bales. It will be, in fact,
somewhat less than normal. Prospects
for a full crop in the coming year
meanwhile remained doubtful and
operatives in the New Hampshire
textile mills were reported to be
showing a greater disposition to re-
turn to work.
The week which brought unusually
large financial transactions by the
treasury passed without creating any
disturbances in the money market.
These transactions, which centered on
June Is, included the collection Of
$500, 100000 in income taxes, the pay
ment of s125,OO0,OOO in interest on
Liberty bonds, the paying off of $3.50
900, 900 in maturing certificates of
Indebtedness, the redemption of $3.50
0O0, 900 in Victory notes and the flo
tation of $3.50, 100000 in new certifi-
Gates.
The rate on call money, the most
sensitive index of the markets con-
dition, ruled at close to 8 per cent.
throughout the week and at 2 3-4 per
cent, touched what was virtually
