THE HOUSE ADJOURNS AND
CONGRESSMEN HASTEN HOME

Washington, June 30-The house
of representatives adjourned tonight
at 9:49 o'clock until August Is, thus
giving members opportunity to re-
turn home to look after their cam
paigns while the senate is still at work
on the tariff.
Democrats, opposing adjournment
almost solidly, forced roll call. The
vote to quit was III to 43, with two
voting 'Epresent."
''The democrats having voted with
their fingers crossed, 1 now move
that the house be adjourned" said
Representative Mondell, the repu5li-
can leader.
There was a shout and a wild race
to taxi-cabs waiting outside to rush
members to outgoing trains.
In opposing adjournment demo-
Gratis insisted the house ought to stay
in session and act on Henry Ford's
offer for lease of Muscle Shoals.
On objection by Representative
Montague, democrat, Virginia, Mr..
Mondell failed to get through re-
quest that all members be given five
days in which to extend their remarks
in The Congressional Record on any
subject relating to legislation.
To enable the house to clean up
its affairs, a technical session Of the
senate was held at 9 o'clock for sig
nature Of last-minute bills by the sem
ate's presiding officers.

square in the morning from $50 un-
til 10. During the day three bands
will furnish music and those who like
band music will have treat on the
fourth. The watermelon eating con-
test and the battle royal will probab-
ly be the most amusing events of the
day with the sack and three legged
race pushing them for first place as
fun makers. Splendid prizes will be
offered in each event. The most
beautiful thing of the celebration
will be the tableaux which will be
given on the portico of the Legion
hall at $50. Newberry's finest tab
leaux artists are working out these
attractions and they should draw i'm
mense crowds. Following them will
come the fddlers convention and old
time square dance.

TWICE A WEEK, $500 A YEAR
BANKS OF COUNTY TO
HELP FARMERS BUY COWS
Farmers Urged to See Tksir Banker
and Make Necessary Arrange
ments Immediately

The banks Of Newbery county have
agreed to help reliable and respon-
sible farmers of Newberry county
purchase cows, according to an an
nouncement made public today by
the agricultural committee of the
Newberry chamber of commerce.
This committee has conferred with all
bankers of the county on tie subject,
and with but one exception all of
them have agreed to do everything
possible to assist the farmers to pur-
chase cows in order that they may be
IN position to furnish cream to the
NewberEy creamery, which enter
prise is now in full operation.
The establishment of the creamery
in Newberry means more than can be
said in this article tSward fighting
the boil weevil, for if every farmer
in the county will milk two OR three
cows and sell the cream to the
creamery and feed skinned milk to
the hogs and chickens and make pro-
per use of the natural fertilizer they
get from the cows they will soon be
in position to run farms on cash
and paying basis.
Every farmer in the county who is
interested in buying few cows
should see his banker at once and ad-
wise them of the number Of cows they
want and make necessary arrange
ments about paying for them. The
banks of the county who have agreed
to assist in this proposition are as fol
lows: Exchange Bank of Newberry,
Commercial Bank of New.berry, Ma
tional Bank of. Newberry, Bank of
Whitmire, Farmers Bank of Chap
pells, Bank of Prosperity, Peoples
National Bank of Prosperity and the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of Lit
tie Mountain.
The banks absolutely will not take
chances on buying bunch Of cows
and selling them just as they can;
every cow must be sold before it is
purchased. AS soon as a sufficient
number are ordered to make a car
load shipment the order will be plac
ed.
The banks which have agreed to
this proposition are o be commend
ed for their act, for indeed they are
giving assistance when it is most
needed, and as stated above, all far
mers should see their bank without
delay.

GOV. HARVEY ALMOST
EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT

Just little more speed and great
distinction would have come to Mo-
torcycle Officer H. j. Quattlebaum on
last Thursday afternoon. But the
car wasn't travelling quite fast
enough. But it did move along with
enough rapidity to cause Officer
Quattlebaum to warn the travellers.
His excelency, Governor Wilson
G. Harvey, accompanied by DR.. S. f.
Killingsworth and Mr.. w. A. Hantske
Of Columbia, were on their way from
Colum3ia to Pelzer, and when be-
tween Little Mountain and Prosper
ity, tempted by Newberry's good
roads, the chauffeur opened up just
a little bit. Officer Quattle1aum
thought perhaps that the occupants Of
car, who were not knwon to him, did
not know that the speed laws were
strictly enforced in NeWberry and be-
took himself to give a little warning
in advance. He rode up to the car
and asked the driver: ''Do you know
the speed law in this county?" DR..
KilliNgsworth, who was on the front
seat answered, y don't but Governor
Harvey back there should know ii"
Governor Harvey pleasantly told the
officer that he thought he knew and
hoped the law was not being violated.
The officer said, "Wel], YOU are get
ting pretty close TO it, and you had
better not go any faster" The gov
ernor promised and the party went on
It's way.
The next day Officer Quattlebaum
received letter from the governor,
commencing him for his courteous
way in giving proper warning TO trav-
elers and at the same time carrying
out the law.
Governor Harvey and party stop
ped for a little while in Newberry.
The party was joined here by Mr..
Eugene S. Blease and proceeded to
PeIzer. where they went to attend a
rally of the Odd Fellows. DR.. XII
Iingsworth is grand secretary Of the
order, Mr.. Hantske is deputy grand
master and Mr.. Blease is grand mas
ter. Governor Harvey is past
grand master.

PRESIDENT OBREGON SAYS
REPORTS ARE BASELESS

Washington, June 29.-MeXican
rebels who seized the Aguada camp
of the LaCorona Oil company in the
Tampico region Sunday, holding the
property and forty American en-
ployees for $1,000 pesos ransom,
withdrew on Monday without damage
or injury to the employees but with
threats to return, Consul Shaw at
Tampico today advised the state de-
partment. A later message said the
same rebels yesterday seized camp
of La Corona Oil company, Dutch
British concern, in the same vicinity
and were holdig IS employees includ-
ing about six Americans.
The dispatch did not indicate
whether ransom had been paid in the
case of the Aguada camp which is an
American owned concern. On the
strength of the second message sent
last night the state department di-
rected the embassy in Mexico City to
make new demands on the Mexican
government for protection of the
Americans employed by the Dutch
British company.

CHAMBER COMMERCE
OUTLINES PROGRAM
PROGRAM OF WORK
is PLANNED
Large Number Committees Already
O-gan;zed-Many Others to Be
Formed in Near Future

That the Newberry chamber of
commerce expects to build up
greater Newberry city and county is
evidenced by the fact that during the
past three weeks a large number Of
important committees have been or
ganized with many others % be or
ganized just as fast as they can be
mobilized. The most pleasing fea-
ture of it all is that all the various
committees organized to date have
taken hold of the work in most en-
thusiastic manner and one hundred
per cent attendance at all the meet
ings was recorded:
Despite the fact that work Of the
organization was seriously handicap
ped during the year 1921, due to the
financial depression, their accom-
plishments were very satisfactory end
have justified the organization many
times. Perhaps the most outstand-
ing feature of their work IS the es-
tablishment of the Newherry Cream
cry which is already being looked up
on as Newberry county's most valu-
able asset. Numerous ether things
are listed in their accomplishments
the establishment of an :iir ert!s:ng
and solicitation bureau, a credit bu-
reau and the diversified farming cam
pa;gn which was launched during the
month of September, 1921. This
campaign proved to be a great sue
cess in every particular, in view OF
the fact that during the winter of
1921-1922 there were more cover
crops in Newberry county than ever
in the history Of the county and that
today diversified farming is more evi-
dent than ever before. Other accom-
plishments Of the organization during
the past year can not be listed on ac-
count of lack of space.
With the organization OF all the
committees which the board Of direc-
tors have in mind there is no doubt
as to what can be d.. during the
remainder Of the year 1922 and the
year 1923. The committees which
have been organized to date are as
follows: Advertising and solicitation
committee, streets and sidewalks
committee, retail trade committee,
traffic and transportation committee,
agricultural committee, credit bureau
committee, public health committee,
good roads committee, cemetery COM
mittee.
Committees to be orzanized with
in the next few weeks are as follows:
Employment committee, entertain
ment committee, parks and play
grounds committee, city beautiful
committee, educational committee
and an industrial development com
mittee. AS soon as these committees
are organized others will follow. 1t
might BE said that the organization is
not appointing any "standing' COM
mittees, as each committee will be
required to meet regularly each
month and render monthly reports to
the board CT directors of the work
they have done during the month and
work which they have outlined for
the future.
Watch Newberry city and county
and the Newberry chamber of COM
merce grow! When any of the COM
mittees call on you for cooperation in
their line Of work fall in line with
them, for they are all working for
what you want-a greater Newberry
city and county.

San Francisco, Calf, June 29.-
President Alvero Obregon of Mexico
in telegram to the San Francisco
Chronicle asserted that news from
! Tampico of Americans held captive
by bandits was absolutely baseless."
He characterized the dispatch as con-
! ly one of the many malicious deeds
, to create unfavorable opinion be-
tween the two nations"
The Chronicle telegraphed to Pres
j idet Obregon, asking for a statement
as to conditions at Tampico and the
truth of reports of Americans held
! for ransom.
His answer read:
GAS chief executive when / receiv-
ed your dispatch l knew that the news
to which you allude is absolutely
b&seless and is only one of the many
malicious deeds of persons whose in
tentions are inimical to interests of
; Mexico. However, to satisfy public
opinion l telegraphed to the chief of
operations at Huasteca for complete
information, | herewith submit the
! telegraphic communications:
" General Guadalupe Sanchez,
Chinconcillo.
" 4 see that the papers Of the
United States publish in scandalous
! form report from Tampico an
nouncng that 40 Americans have
been taken captives and held for
ransom from the caps at Aguada de
La Cortez Oil company by the bandit
Gorozave and although l feel positive
, that this report is one of the many
painful means used by the enemies of
Mexico to bring about difficulties bA
tween the two governments and to
create animosity between the two ma
tions, l want your official advice for
submission to the press.
'Alvaro Oregon"
"His reply:
&" 'Chinconci,lo, June %, 1922.
" The President of the Republic:
up to the present time, no
agency Of any oil company has pre-
sented complaint in regard to the TAX
ing of prisoners of 40 Americans. l
made inquiries of General Juan Cas-
iano, superintendent of the Cortez
Oil company, who was in the barracks
yesterday afternoon. He Informed me
that rebels had been near the Aguada
La Puma and El Rosillo camps. l
Immediately ordered General Portas
to proceed to the vicinity of those
camps with orders to pursue and run
down the enemy. aW sorry that ow-
ing to the long distance from the
camps I haven't the knowledge that
other individuals who are in the
neighborhood may have.

|Dusky Heavies to
Pu1nrnel Each Other
Before Gothamites

New York, March PA pugilistic
tableau is to be given in Madison
Square Garden tonight by two heavy
weight performers, Harry Wills and
"Kid" Norfolk.
Wills, whose muscles were devel-
oped heaving cotton bales down on
the docks in New Orleans, is called the
"olack panther" He stands six feet
four inches in his ring socks, weighs
210 pounds and reaches 76 inches.
Norfolk known as the "Darktown
Thunderbolt," is seven and a hall
inches shorter than Wills, weighs 1876
pounds and reaches 81 inches. He
has pounded his way to pugilistic
fame and the negro light-heavyweight
championship of the world by more
than ninety knockouts.
The meeting Of the Panther and the
Thunderbolt in a fifteen round con-
test tonight may develop an opponent
for Jack Dempsey, as Wills has been
considered by many as one of the
msot likely of the heavyweights.
But he has never before met Nor

Workers Appealing
for Financial Aid
CBy Associated Press)

Providence, R. l., March 2.-In
preparation for a prolonged strug
gle, heads of the striking textile
unions are extending their campaign
for relief funds. William H. Der
rick, an organizer for the Amalga-
mated Textile Workers, who is in
charge Of the strike in the Pawtuxet
valley, will address a mass meeting
tonight in Philadelphia, appealing for
funds. Russell Palmer, general sec
retary of the Amalgamated, will
make similar appeal in New York.
Now that the state board of media
ton and concilation has failed to set
tie the strike, it is expected that an
attempt will be made soon to reopen
some of the many plants which have
been shut down for nearly six weeks
by the strike of more than $4,000
workers in the Pawtuxet and Black
stone valleys.
For the present soldiers are to be
maintained on guard in the mill vii
lagos where trouble has developed
