AMERICAN COTTON EXCHANGE
IS TRIED FOR "BUCKETINC"

New York, May 18-The American
cotton exchange went on trial on an
indictment charging "bucketing" of
orders.
The indictment, which followed a
John Doe investigation in magis-
trate's court, alleges that the ex-
change "bucketed" or failed to exc
cute approximately 80 per cent OF
the orders received from the South.
The trial is regarded as test Of the
new state .bucketing law. The max
imum penalty, upon conviction, is a
fine Of $4,000 For a second offense
the exchanges charter could be ab-
rogated.
Several officers and individual
members of the exchange are under
indictment, but their trials were de-
ferred until the cases against the ex-
change are disposed of.

HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL
a BIG SUCCESS

The Newbrery high school carnival
was indeed big success this year. A
large crowd was pleasantly entertain
ed throughout long evening. The
grounds were we'll lighted and at al
most, every corner tent was seen
with some special attraction. From
$50 until 500 the tent Of the un-
fortunate wives of Blue Beard was
open. AS it was free everybody went
in to see the unfortunate ones. Next
was the "oid reliable" fishing pond
and next came the fortune teller's
tent. And, too, we must not leave
out the ice cream and pink" lemon
ade stand.
At 500 p. II. the crowds were en-
tertained at "Sparks Circus" the sec
ond. The audience was thrilled with
the death defying tight rope walking,
and with the clever stunts performed
by the clowns. After the circus the
performance of the minstrel was en-
ioyed by all who attended, the whole
affair being a big success.

EDUCATION BOARD
NAMES TEXT BOOKS
For Use in Public Schools Next Five
Years-Board Signs Contract
With Publishing Houses
The State, 10.

The State, 10.
Adoption Of textbooks for the pub
lie schools of South Carolina was
completed by the state board of edu-
cation yesterday after several days of
conference on various texts which
had been submitted. The board OF
education has been in session several
days and yesterday announced that
its work had been practically COM
pleted.
Approximately 80 contracts with
book publishing houses remain to be
signed up, but this work will be COM
pleted within a day or two. Repre-
sentatives of various publishing hous-
es have been in Columbia in numbers
recently and many texts have been
brought to the attention of the board.
The books for the next five years will
be somewhat higher in price, it was
understood yesterday, than they were
under the old contracts as the cost OF
practically everything that goes into
their making has advanced in recent
years.
]. e. Swearingen, state superln-
tendent of education, when asked
yesterday for list of the books
adopted by the state, said that a list
had not been prepared yet for pub
lication. He said, however, that the
list would be available in few days.
The law of the state, as is gener-
ally known, provides for readoption
of textbooks for the public schools
every five years. The books adopted
by the board at its meeting will be
used over the state in the schools dur
ing the next-fve years. Provision is
made with the book companies
whereby old books may be exchanged
, in part payment for~new books, this
arrangement saving much money to
the people of the state.

Mullins, May 1S.-R. Miles, who
was the oldest clothing merchant of
Mullins, is dead, and Ben Snyder
probably fatally wounded as the re-
suit of clash yesterday. Miles shot
Snyder and then killed himself, and
the coroner's jury so declared after
an inquest.
The tragedy occurred in Mr.. Sny-
der's store. After Mr.. Snyder was
seen running from the store, blood on
his clothing, and followed by his
wife, who was panic stricken, Chief
of Police williamson entered and
found Mr.. Miles lying on his face
with pistol .32-caliber lying near
his right side. Examination by the
officer showed that there were two
empty cartridges and it was supposed
that Mr.. Miles shot Mr.. Snyder and
then turned the gun on himself. 1he
bullet that killed Mr.. Miles entered
the right temple and blew his brains
out. The bullet was later picked up
by Chief Williamson on the floor
within three feet of where Mr.. Miles
lay.
While examinations were being
made Snyder talked freely and stated
that while they would not inform nlm
that Miles was dead he felt sure he
was as he saw Miles put the pistol to
his temple and saw the shot fired:
Miles falling on his face.
1t. appears that Mrs. Snyder was
the only person in the store besides
the two principals to the tragedy and
She was over on the dry goods side
with a wall separating them. On
hearing the shots she is said to have
run to the scene, being met by Sny-
der who was reported as saying to her
that "Miles has killed me-" He stag
gered on out to the door.
Mr.. Snyder gave 1t as MS OPINION
that Mr.. Miles was momentarily ip:
sane. He repeated this assertion tie
and again and further said that Mr..
Mics entered the store in the early
morning and wanted settlement for
an iron safe which he had sold to
Snyder. and contended for a sum in
excess of the agreed price.
It is said that since Mr.. Miles re-
Gently sold his business he had been
very much dissatisfied and had fre-
quently remarked that man without
a lob VS. miserable. He was about
sixty years old and leaves widow
and one son, Edgar, aged twelve, a
student in a school in Charleston.

STAGE is ALL SET
FOR BIG DINNER
DIR. Gee. B. Cromer to Be Local
Speaker-Other Interesting Fea-
tures on Program

Announcement is made to the eff
feet that the ''stage" is all set for
one of the largest ''get together"
meetings ever held in Newberry,
which is to be in the form Of big
dinner known as Greater Newberry
dinner to be held on next Thursday
night in the Legion hall at 500
o'clock. Every organization in the
city is taking part in this event and
it is expected that the Legion hall
will be, filled to its capacity. AS pre-
viously announced the ladies of the
Civic league will serve the dinner,
and the menu which they have SUBJ
mitted to the executive committee
for approval is very tempting one'
and it alone will be worth seventy
FIVE cents, to say nothing of the oth-
er features on the program Will be
DR.. Geo. B. Cromer to Speak
Perhaps one Of the most interest
ing features of the program will be
an address by DR.. Geo. B. Cromer:
who is one of Newberry's most be-
loved citizens and one of the most
capable speakers in the state OF
South Carolina. DR.. Cromer has
not announced from what subject he
will talk, but the fact that he IS on
the program is enough to know that
it will be interesting. In addition
to the address by DR.. Cromer, Mr..
Howard Strong of New York city
will address the gathering on tae sub
iect of "You and Your Town" Mr..
Strong is coming to Newebrry at the
invitation of the program committee
for the sole purpose of addressing
this gathering and his willingness to
make this long trip should be appre-
ciated by the citizens of Newberry to
the extent that all of them will come
out to the meeting to hear him. O;jA-
er features on he program will be
musical selections which are being ar
ranged by the music committee. This
program has not been completed as
vet, and just what this part of the
progra.! will consist of can not be
announced at this time.
Buy Tickets Today
It has been announced several
times that no funds would be solicit
ed at this dinner. Of course, every
one knows that there will be charge
for the dinner. Tickets are now be-
ing sold, these tickets entitle one to
all parts of the program and are
being sold for seventy-fve cents. 1t
is hoped that all who expect to at
tend will buy their tickets before
8 100 o'clock Tuesday afternoon (to-
day), as the ladies in charge of SER
wing the dinner will want to know as
soon as possible how many to pre-
pare plates for, so if you have not
bought your ticket yet, do SO today.
Let every one be prepared for
good time, for the sole purpose of the
dinner is to get together for an ev-
ening of pleasure and enjoyment.

EUROPE HELPED
BY CONFERENCE
GOOD WILL COME OF GENOA
CONFERENCE
Think That Achievements at Genoa
VIII Live and Contribute to
Paci6cation

Genoa, May 19.-The dominant
thought in Genoa to- ght as the del
egations to the economic conference
were leaving or preparing to depart,
seemingly was that, although the
conference was thing of the past
as far as Genoa is concerned, it's
achievements would live and contri-
butte much to the pacifcation and re-
construction of Europe.
The officials of some of the small
er states undoubtedly will go home
disappointed, perhaps angry, because
their troubles have not been settled
at Genoa. Lithunia, for example, is
chagrined that Genoa has not chased
the Polish troops from Lithuanian
territory and the small Russian re-
publics bordering the Caspian and
Black seas are aggrieved because
Genoa failed to free them from Boil
shevik rule.
But as whole the belief prevails
that the Genoa conference, despite
disputes which almost pushed Errope
to the edge of precipice, has result
ed in the beginning of better under
standings between the nations Of Eu-
rope, including Russia. Even official
France admitted that tonight.
France, which came here, reluct-,
antly, almost suspiciously, goes away
with more confidence. Louis, Bar
thou, vice premier in the French cab
met and Frances chief delegate to
the conference, in his final words to
the press tonighf declared if was his
conviction that the Genoa conferences
which he called the "child Of Cannes
was today in good heaith, and that he
saw no reason why the infant could
not journey safely to the Hague and
there thrive and prosper.
The question whether the Russian
problem will so develop as to make
possible later participation by the
United States in it's solution was the
great subject of discussion tonight.
David Lloyd George, who has hur-
ried back to England, has not accom-
pished everything he hoped for, but
today found him in rare good hurnor
as the conference held its closing ses.
sion.
The conference adjourned after
adopting a provisional non-aggression
pact, approving arrangements for the
Hague meeting and adopting the re-
port of the economic commission with
it's recommendations for the rebuild
ing of disorganized Europe.
Admittedly, everything now de-
pends on the Russian Communists.
If they continue as intransigent in
Holland as in Italy, there seems little
prospect of an agreement with Russia.
Meanwhile the desperate straits Of
the Russian people are in the minds
of all the delegates. AS one of them
said tonight, "every possible effort
will be made to save the valiant Rus
sian people from suffering and death.
Even the Communists are Russians,
and perhaps they will understand"

WHO IS COLLEGE
BASEBALL CHAMPION? :?
Newherry and Carolina Have Debate
as to Who Deserves the
State little

Johnnie Banks in Columbia Record.
Just who is college champions in
baseball realms in South Carolina is
not altogether unanimously agreed
upon. Prior to the game Wednes-
day members of the University of
South Carolina team in speaking to
the sports writer of The Record stat
ed that they considered this would be
the championship game; that if New
berry won they would be willing to
admit the Indians were the state
champions and that if the Gamecocks
won, they expected Newberry to con-
cede the championship laurels to Ca
rolina.
However, Newberry is not willing
to make any concession to Carolina
and after the game committees from
the faculty, representative to stu
dents, players and fans from New
berry visited the sport writers and
pressed their claim.
Newberry's Contentious
Newberry first contends that the
Indians have played more games than
the Gamecocks and that as both teams
have an average of 750 points in the
percentage column that they feel
Newberry has the best claim to the
title. Another reason set up is that
Newberry and Erskine had agreed
prior to the game that the game at
Greenwood between these two teams
would be ar exhibition game and they
'urther hold that they have informa-
/! ton from Major Rhame of the Cita-
del that the Citadel had considered
! the Carolina Citadel game in Green
wood as regular scheduled game.
! Another point at issue is that Car
olina did not play Wofford or Pres
byterian college. The Gamecocks
did not have a, game scheduled with
Presbyterian. Both games with Wof-
| ford, one at Columbia and another
at Columbia, were started but were
rained out before the regulation five
innings had been played. Newberry
met Wofford twice and they divided
the bcnors.
The same is true between Newber-
ry and Presbyterian college, the two
teams having met twice and each
having won game.
Cardinals Claims
Carolina claims that it has met
the important teams of the state and
has defeated them. The Gamecocks
won and lost to the Clemson Tigers,
the Birds having practically elimin,
ated the Tigers from the titular con-
test in the game here last Saturday
Another claim entered by the Game
cocks is that they have not been de-
feated by Newiberry, the first game
| in the Indians camp having resulted
| in a seven-all draw, and the game
here Wednesday being a decision IN
favor of the Garnet and Black.
The Carolina players do not THINK
it fair to reckon the awarding of the
title on percentage basis as one
team plays more games than another.
Just what will be the outcome OF
the discussion remains to be SEEN
There is no method of awarding a
championship and nothing accom-
| pan!es the winning of such an honor
but the honor itself. However, the
two teams which are parties IN the
debate believe that the glory that ac-
companies the championship is worth
arguing for.
