lief Administration, $17,s00,o 900;

eminent of Russia, Sill, 400, 900; war

plies. $3,6o0,ooo; Jewish joint dis
tribution committee, 81, 300, 900;

600. In addition, communist com
mittees sent direct to Russia sup
plies estimated to have a value of
100000. The total comes to $751;
498, ooo. With the exception of the
soviet gold (mostly seized from
churches and confiscated in church
ornaments melted DOWN, nearly all
this money came from the United
States. 1t was effective and saved
the lives of many millions of Rus
sian children and adults. Just how
many will never be known.
The two hundred members of the
American Relief Administration
were aided by $4,000 Russians in
doing the work. These had to be
fed and cared for also, and there
was no trouble in getting volun-
teers to work for food alone. They
conducted $4,000 kitchens and dis
tributing stations from which were
fed 3,25O,000 children and $500, 900
adults, a total of 8,550,00o souls.
But the saving of life cannot be
estimated directly from the number
fed. as Mr.. Hoover observes. In
theory if ten persons have food for
but two months, in four months
they will presumably all have
starved, whereas if half of them are
fed from outside all ten will sur
vive. Because Of the great drouth
of 1920 and 1921, coming at a time
when reserve stocks were depleted
by war, blockade, revolution and
civil strife, Russia was faced with
the greatest catastrophe in its
gloomy history. but this shadow
has now been lifted, and there is
abundant evidence of the gratitude
of the Russian people for American
aid.
Mr.. Hoover say that no decision
has yet been reached as to whether
his organization will soon withdraw
from Russia or not. He says there
is promise of a good harvest in the
famine districts from the seed fur
nished, and the soviet government
has still a considerable supply of
gold from the church property con-
fiscated, and could now take up the
work of feeding the homeless chill
dren at its W expense. Vast
numbers of these children are waits
whose relatives and natural sup
porters are dead or unknown, and
the American Relief organization
is urged to take up the task of find
ing them homes in Russia, or hunt
ing up their former protectors if
they are still alive. 1t is a hard
task because man. of these waits
do not even know names of the
villages from which they came.
They roved over the country in
hungry bands like wolves before
the Americans came to their res
1t is a wonderful thing that
money and enterprise &C
complished in Russia story to
make an American proud.

trade in staple merchandise. An
economist of orthodox upbringing
would probably approach the ques-
ton from the other end. The great
amount of money invested in auto
mobiles and other nonessentials is
diverted from the production os
staples, there is less competition in
staples. and. therefore. prices tcrd
to remain high. 1t goes without
saying that the pleasure car is the
largest item in the budget of nom
essentials. The manufacture and
upkeep Of automobiles utilize large
sums of money that would other
wise be reducing the cost of food.
clothing and. perhaps. rents. From
whatever angle the question is ap-
preached, the automobile has with
out doubt permanently added to the
cost Of living. Among the business
and professional classes salaries
are demanded which will permit
the maintenance of cars, and among
wage-earners the example OF lux
ury elsewhere tends t. increase un-
rest and to strengthen insistence
upon higher wage scales.
The automobile has come to
stay both as an fundamentally of
pleasure and Of commerce. There
should be more thorough study Of
the economic effect of its unnec-
essary USE"

pose Of the rate vas to keep above

MAY BUILD
NEAR VAN WICK
Southern Power Company
Plans Huge Development

Chester, July flames B. Duke
OF the Southern Power company,
according to a report current here,
is planning further to utilize the
wonderful resources of Catawha
river by constructing a great dam
somewhere between Van Wyck and
Great Falls. approximately 20 &c
% miles from Chester. It is
thought by some the object is the
developing of the water power of
Landsford or Clup's island. For the
past few weeks a large party of
surveyors have been surveying the
territory in the Van Wyck section
and Wednesday the party reached
the Seaboard Air Line railway
station at Waxhaw, a little owe so
miles north Of Chester. This APP.
parently is the eastern limit Of the
survey.
Enough information has been
gained to cause assurance that the
surveyors, employees of the South
ern Power company, are ascertain
ing the highest possible ridge the
Seaboard could use for a right of
way from Waxhaw southwark, in
the event the power company
should construct a large dam ON
the Catawba river at some point
Just below Van Wyck. Those who
have read Of Mr.. Dukes vast
scheme to utilize all the possible re-
sources of the Catawba have fig
ured out that a logical place on the

velopment of water power VIII be

Federals Defeat
Mexican Rebels

washington, July q Rebel
forces were defeated and scattered
by federal troops near the Aguada
camp Of the Cortez Oil company in
the Tampico district OF Mexico on
June 80, according to message
received by the state department
today from Consul Shaw at Tam
pico. The latter said his informa-
ton was based upon a report he
had received from Oil company Of
fcials yesterday.
There were two actions, the con-
sui said, in which five or six reb-
els were killed. three taken pras-
oners and so OF their horses and
mules captured. The federal troops,
he added, according to his adviccs
were preparing to follow, up the
route of the rebels while OTHER
federal troops, he understood were
coming into the district.
Mr.. Shaw in his message, which
was fled at noon yesterday, did not
mention the name of the comman-
der of the rebel forces but 1t was
assumed here it probably was
General Gorozave who recently
took several Of the employees OF
the oil company prisoners and seiz-
ed much destructible property of

ment OF 1900 pesos. The situa-
ton now was apparently well In

gon government the consul stated.
The employees and property held
by General Gorozave were subse-
auently released, as we're those

At
FURMAN
President of Baptist College
Declines Call to Missouri


ment was made this afternoon by
DR.. w. J. McG1othlin, president Of
Furman university, that he had de-
cided to decline the offer Of the
presidency of William Jewell col
lege, at Liberty, Mo-, and weuldere-
main at the head of Furman uni
versity. The offer from the Mis-
souri, institution was received by
DR.. McGlothlin several weeks ago
and has beeh under careful con-
.sideration since that time.
Formal announcement Of his de-
cision to remain at Furman was
made by DR.. McGlothlin in a let
ter to John A. Russell, president
of the Greenvil1e chamber offcom-
merce. in which he says: "Assur-
ances Of interest and support on
the part of the citizens Of Green
vile have materially aided me in
reaching a decision a to what
purse I ought to pursue. The
presidency of. William Jewell col
lege, with the high standards and
great potential resources Of the in
stitution, made a strong appeal
but I have decided to remain with
Furman."
In outlining the reasons why he
has decided to remain at Furman,
DR.. McGlothIin states in this let
ter that some two years ago the
general education board of New
York offered to give to the endow-
ment of the institution the sum of
s175, 600 if its other friends would
raise $325,000. thus adding a total
of half a million to the endow-
ment. up to the present very lit
tie has been done toward meeting
this great Offer" says DR.. Nc
Glothlin's letter.
This. delay was caused by the
serious financial depression through
which our state with others has
been passing. But the period in
which our part of the half million
is to be raised is rapidly passing.
Something like two years remain
in which to complete the raising of
the funds necessary to meet the
great offer of the general education
board. Can this amount be rails
ed? Will the enlightened, wealthy,
forward looking men of Greenville
help me-? This is the question
which has revo1ved itself over and
over in my mind as I have consid-
cred the possibilities of the future,
and the hope that such will be the
case has kept me in Greenville. I
ask nothing for myself. I only ask
that Greenyille and South Carolina
will unite to build a great and
worthy educational institution in
this city for the education of the
young men of this and adjoining
states and for the service of man
and Of God. Greenville is sure to
be a great industrial center. In
the midst of this material growth
will it also support worthily those
institutions which are necessary to
keep UP the moral and spiritual life
Of its people? I hope that it may
be SO and that hope has kept me
in Greenville."

Regulars Defeat
Rebels in Dublin
Irish Nationals Take Several
Strongholds. Many Men
CaDtured

Dublin, July 2 (By the Associat-
ed Press).-The rational troops
were victorious in the battle in Dub
lin today. Early in the evening
they opened with a heavy fire, and
several rebel strongholds were cap
tured together with nearly 400 pris-
oners.
An official bulletin issued short
Iy before 9 o'clock tonight says
Thirty irregulars who occupied
Moran's hotel are now in our hands,
as is also the section bounded by
Talbot, Purdon, Amiens and Gardi-
ner streets.

sitions they held"

Cured in many part sof Dublin and
throughout the city there has been
increased activity on the part Of
nationals and heavy concentrations
at tactic points. Free state troops
began by occupying the building
commanding the field Of fire to the
principal buildings in possession Of
the irregulars. "All quiet" is the
significant report from Cork and
Limerick. An official bulletin is
sued at general headquarters to-
night describes the evening opera
tons of the national troops. 1t
specifies certain buildings occupied
and says that during the opera
tons several ground mines laid by
the irregulars were exploded. A
tunnel apparently for the purpose
of escape was found parallel to
Parnen Square. Many Of the In
surgents escaped in Marlborough
street area through breaches in the
adjoining houses when. their posts
were attacked.
The bulletin adds that the regu-
lars are receiving the whole heart
ed support of the civilian popula-
ton. One Of the most important
successes Of the regulars was Mo-
rams hotel. An 18-pounder was
turned against it and after the
third shot the rebels rushed from
the hotel and crossed the stree
into a hotel opposite. In a few
minutes, however, they hoisted the
white flag and surrendered. Their
casualties are not believed to be Sc
rious.
Moran,s hotel commanded an
important position between Nelson
| Pillar and the Great Northern
station and the central telegraph
Office of this area and its surrender
was preceded by a long engagement
with the rebels.
Armored cars played an import
ant part in the attack.

Freeland
browns in River

Mccormick, July p Albert
Freeland, the Is old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. =. NJ. Freeland of
Plum Branch, was drowned about
4 o'clock this afternoon while IN
bathing with a number of his
chums in the Savannah river at the
old Ferguson ferry, about four
miles from Plum Branch.
The young man, in company with
several of his friends, had walked
about three miles to the river to
90 swimming in water very little
over his head and only a few feet
away from one Of his friends,
whom he caught as he was sink
ing. The friend, believing that the
drowning boy was only diving and
playing, made no effort to save MN.
The young man nearest Freeland
stated that he thought Freeland
was only playing at the time and
when Freeland caught him he was
almost exhausted and he also
came near being drowned.
The water at this point is very
swift, and, although relatives and
friends were soon notified and the
river for some distance down had
been secured at dark, tonight the
body Of the drowned man has not
been found and it is thought that
it was carried on down the river
ahead of the searching party.
The Ferguson ferry has been
abandoned for some years as a
ferry and the road leading to the
landing has reached such a stage
that travel upon it is almost M
possible and this accounts tor the
crowd of searchers not reaching
the scene sooner. The searching
party will continue tomorrow IN
their efforts to find the body.

Women do not have to tell

be timid about admitting their
age.
Under the constitution the
voter must be 81, but other than
this no age is stipulated. Mi.
Wolfe indicated that a woman
t6 years Of age might say she is
'21" and everything would be all
right. In fact. that is the case
