OF tho Navy Yard at Charleston by
Representative Men Of City,

Washington, July 14.-A protest
against the Navy Departments pro-
posed abandonment Of the Charles
ton S. c., navy yard was made to
President Harding yesterday by Sen
ator Smith and Representative Lo-
gan, Of South Carolina. and Mayor
John p. Grace, Of Charleston. AS
the three left the White House after
a half hour audience with the Pres-
dent. they reported that their inter-
views had been every satisfactory"
and declared that they were hopeful
that the navy yard. would be kept in
operation.
1t was pointed out to the Presi-
dent that the closing down Of the
Charleston yard would leave the two
thousand three hundred miles Of
coast line between Cape Hatteras and
the Mexican border without a single
yard equipped for navy craft and.
larger merchant ships.

SHERIFF. KILLS LIQUOR MAKER.
Fatal Meeting in the Edisto Swamp
near an Illicit Still.

WATERFORD, s. c., July 12.--John
Britton, son Of Chief OF Police
Britton, Of Branchville, was killed
by Sheriff Alderman at noon to-day
while resisting arrest Britton was
said to he opel ating still in the
Edisto river swamp. When Sheriff
Ackerman attempted to place him
under arrest Britton shot at the
sheriff and his deputies, G. G. Ben
ton and ]. B. Alderman. Fortunate
ly, they were near enough to take
shelter behind trees and returned
the fire.
Several shots had been exchanged
when Britton, in an unguarded mo-
ment, exposed himself and was shot
in the side by Sheriff Ackerman,
who intended to shoot only to force
him to give up; but one shot went
high enough to strike a vital organ,
and death resulted in an hour. The
body was brought TO Walterboro,
and Magistrate Pelham held an in
quest, the verdict Of the jury being
In accordance with the foregoing.
Britton and Talmadge Edwards
were together at a 40-gallon copper
still and eight 60-gallon barrels Of
mash. Their alleged violation Of tho
law was reported to the sheriff and
he was armed with a warrant. Ed
wards denies completely, stating that
he was only visitor to Britton.
Sheriff Ackerman has reported the
killing to Governor Harvey.

SMALL PROSPECT FOR ToLBERT,
Appearances Are that Committee Not
to Report Favorably.
NORMAN DRUG CO.,
Walhalla, S. G.

Washington, July 13.-It looks
very much as if the nomination Of
Jos. Tolbert, Republican, national
committeeman for South Carolina,
for United States marshal for the
Western district of South Carolina,
Is never going to get through. This
is the impression gained after talks
had with many Of the Senators who
are members Of the judiciary COM
mittce, both Democrats and Repub-
Leans, the appearance being that the
committee will not report the nomi-
nation favorably. SenAtor Shortridge,
Republican, Of California, chairman
Of the subcommittee, to which the
Tolbert nomination was referred for
investigation after there had been
numerous charges filed, and the
attention Of the committee called to
the matter by Senators Dial and
Smith, has not yet called the sub
committee together, nor does he in
dicate that he will, in view Of the
affairs in The tariff bill that is pend
ing.
Even If the subcommittee met,
there is no telling when the full COM
mittee will take up the matter. When
the subcommittee meets it will have
before 1t the protests from South
Carolina against the confirmation Of
Tolbert sent to Senators Dial and
Smith, these having been placed in
the hands Of Senator Ashurst, Of
Arizona, the Democratic member of
the subcommittee. It Is possible
that there may be witnesses called
before the subcommittee, and that
the fight against Tolbert's conflrma-
tion will be vigorously pressed.

Highlands is completely surrounded
by the Nantahala forest reserve.
From high peaks easily accessible
from Highlands one can view the
beautiful mountains, valleys, coves,
streams, lakes and falls of the High
lands section, occupying a portion of
three states. No more beautiful
scenery and no more invigorating at
mosphere and climate can be found.
The trees, shrubbery and flowers
found in both the north and south
blend picturesquely with those which
are purely local, forming a carpet
which keeps the air free from dust.
Pure, clear, cool mountain spring
water, invigorahng and health-giving
climate, and the absence of smoke and
dust and noise makes Highlands a de-
.lightful place to rest as well as for
recreation, pleasure and sightseeing.
Saddle horses, tennis courts, golf
links and lakes for swimming and fish
ing and hunting are among the things
which are provided for the entertain.
ment Of summer guests.
While admirably suited in every par
ticular for the care and treatment of
tubercular patients, there is at this

able for those who have fear of this

around Highlands are maintained by
financial, professional and social lead
era from many states, including a. good
number of Atlantans.

Highlands has number of summer

commodations which are good, The

There are also number of cottages

Baby Burned to
Death by Bonfire

Fargo, N. D., May 3.-Little Agnes
Paseka, age 2 1-2 is dead and her
mother has temporarily and probably
permanently lost the use of her hands
as the result of an apparently in
nocent bonfire, at the farm home
of John M. Paseka near Kragens. A
5-year old brother thew gasoline on
the bonfire, spillinG some on the
ground and the fire followed the trial
of explosive to the hands of Agnes,
who held the empty gasoline can.
In the flare of flames that followed.
Agnes clothing and hair became a
mass of flames and before help could
reach her She was fatally burned
about the face, head and body.
Her mother, seeing the child's cloth
ing flaming, tried to tear the burning
clothes from the body and her hands
are badly blistered and burned as
the result. Both the child and her
mother were rushed to a Moorehead
hospital, but the youngster died in
few hours. Mrs. Paseka's hands
were dressed and she returned this
morning to her home.
The Paseka farm is north of Krag-
nes, small town near Moorehead.

347 TRUCKS FOR
COUNTIES OF Nd.

Bismarck, N. D., May 3.-More
than $1,0O0,0O0 of trucks and other
war equipment is to be distributed
among counties of the state accord
ing to ]. M. Hansen, superintendent
of the surplus war equipment division
of the state highway commission.
Trucks are now being allotted to
counties on bassis of one truck to
every 20 miles of improved highway
Counties are required to pay the
handling charge of $295 to the high
way commission and may use the
trucks until such time as they can be
declared unserviceable, when the
title passes to the counties. Under
government regulations only unser-
viceable trucks can be sold, and the
above method was devised to permit
counties to get trucks.
If some counties fail to take their
quota of trucks the trucks will be
given to other counties, Mr.. Hansen
said, urging chat counties desiring
trucks make immediate application.
The highway commission has about
$40 trucks for allotment, including
lat already sent to various counties.
No more trucks are being taken
from the government, although offers
of additional war surplus equipment
have been made, because of inability
of the highway commission to finance
the handling of them.
There are several caterpillar trac-
tors which will be allotted to counties
and a considerable amount of mis-
cellaneous material, including scrap
ers and similar equipment. The total
value of the surplus war material
given the high way commission is
estimated by Mr.. Hanson at close
to $1,50O,0OO.

ARBOR DAY IS
SET FOR MAY S

Bismarck, N. D., May g. Gov
ernor r. A. Nestos yesterday issued a
proclamation fixing Friday May s, as
Arbor and Native Life day. His
proclamation follows:
"That we may stimulate more
general interest in the planting of
trees and shrubs, and the care of all
native life in our state, and for the
purpose Of making our homes more
attractive and more home-like to
those who have been raised in com
munities where their childhood homes
were sheltered and beautified by trees
and shrubs, and in view of the fact
that nature, otherwise so lavish in the
gifts bestowed upon our state, gave
US but few trees and shrubs for the
protection and adornment of our
homes, and since we especially desire
that the growing generation should
emulate the splendid examples of the
pioneers and become interested in the
planting of trees and shrubs, and the
protection and care of the valuable
native wild life of every character.
Now therefore, I, R. A. Nestos, Gov
ernor of the state of North Dakota,
do hereby designate and set aside,
Friday, May fifth, as Arbor and Ma
live life Day and hereby urge that
upon that day special attention be
given to the planting of trees and
shrubs, to the study of the best
method of fostering and protecting the
native wild life of our state, and that
both in our schools and ir public
gatherings on that day, the chief
thought be the development and care
of trees, shrubs, flowers, birds, and
everything that makes for the beauty
and enjoyment of life in our state.
"And further that thought of ap-
probation be given to Governor Nor
ton, who fifty years ago first pro-
claimed the observance of Arbor Day.
"Done at the state capitol at Bis
marck, this twenty-fourth day Of
April, 1922.

Says State Might Get
Fancy Prices For Spuds

Fargo, N. D., May 3. = North
Dakota has chance to become IA
nous for it's potatoes, according to H.
B. Fuller, secretary of the North
Dakota Farm Bureau federation, and
F. E. Packard, former assistant at
torney general Of North Dakota and
now attorney at Chicago for the
Standard Oil Company.
Potatoes grown in this state are
far superior in quality as table pota-
toes to anything that can be produced
in the states further SOUTH" Mr..
Packard said. Probably most people
of the state fail to realize it, as we
did until we moved away. It seems
almost impossible to get what we
would call decent table potatoes in
Chicago. They are nothing like the
potatoes raised in North Dakota and
if the potato growers of the state
would realize this and cater to the
high class trade of the cities they
could soon create a demand that
would bring premium prices for this
excellent North Dakota product"
North Dakota has lot Of virgin
soil that will make excellent potato
land, Mr.. Fuller said. AS an example
of the demand that car be created ht
told of the experience Of A. G. Ber
geson, who shipped car south ant
Immediately received calls for a:
many more cars as he could ship.

State Expected To Loan
$500,O00 During May

Bismarck, N. D., May 3.-If the
Bank of North Dakota is able to
close loans on the present basis they
will total millions by midsummer. It
was announced that $25,000 was paid
out to borrowers Saturday and 100000
yesterday, and it is expected that
s5OO,OO0 will be paid out during May.
Difficulty of closing loans after
appraisals are made has caustd some
trouble. The fact that farmers
living a consider able distance from
towns have been unable to get their
papers in shape after the application
and appraisals have been made has
held up many loans, but with the
roads in good shape now this 'liffi-
Guilty will be removed.
Loan appraisals now exceed $2,O00,-
600, it is said.
George W. Janda, of Mandan, has
accepted employment in the depart
inert in charge Of the closing section.

BANK TO MAKE NO MORE
ADVANCE DEPOSITS TO
COVER PENDING LOANS

Bismarck, N: D., May 3.-An-
nouncement is made by the farm loan
department Of the Bank of North Da-
kota that former practice of making
special deposits in banks tthe time a
loan is approved, to pay the amount
of the loan when the papers nave
been perfected has been discontinued.
The practice has been one of the
items of loss to the bank.
The audit of the bank of December
12, 1921 by the Bishop Brissman
company shows that the open banks
of the state at that time had $64, 400
in these special deposits while the
closed banks had $4S, 900 in these spe-
cial deposits. In some cases of loans
held up for long time the money re-
mained in the bank for some time.
The announcement as to the future
payments when loans have been ap-
proved, and the title cleared follows:
GAIL encumbrances will be paid
direct by the farm loan department
When ready to make payment, the
holders of incumbrances will be noti-
fled and asked to the Bank of North
Dakota for collection. Such encum-
branches holders are requested not to
send in their claims fer collection un-
til requested to do so Then same
will always be paid as promptly as all
claims against a particular loan are
assembled for payment. No charge
will be made by the Mank Of North
Dakota for handling such collection
items.

Body of Suicide
Found in Lake

The body of Otto Holm was found
by some hunters last Saturday in
Battle Lake, southwest of Hamar.
Arrangements We're made to take care
of the corps.
Otto Holm single man, disappear
ed some time last fall, and every eff
fort to locate him proved futile. A
brother, S. F. Holm, committed suicide
by shooting himself with revolver
the day before the disappearance of
his brother OFT. Death was in
Simultaneous. Burial was held the
following day after the shooting and
the same day Otto disappeared.
No reason for the rash acts of the
two brothers seem to be at hand.

Burtness Bill Authorizes
Postoffice For Fargo

Fargo, May 3.-A bill authoriz-
ing the erection in Fargo of a $780,
900 postoffice building has been intro
duced in congress by Representative
0. B. Burtness, North Dakota, accord
ing to wires to the Fargo Commercial
club. The amount is 100000 more
than the original appropriation made
when Fargo filed request for new
building few years ago.
Being much larger than the pres
ent building, new structure would
allow several offices located in other
parts of Fargo and North Dakota to
be centralized in one building. The
government is now paying $1O,98O for
post office space in other buildings
and is still in inadequate quarters.
