RENEWAL OF FIGHT FOR
SOLDIER BONUS ASSURED

Washington, Oct. 3.-Renewal of
the fight for soldier bonus in the
next session of Congress was made GER
tain today. Following the announce
ment Of Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee that
he would introduce new bill in the
House as soon as Congress convcnes,
Senator McCumber, chairman of the
finance committee, stated today that
companion measure will be intro
duced in the Senate at the same time.
Asked if the new bill will carry a
financing section to overcome the OBJ
lection on which President Harding's
veto of the previous measure was
based, Senator McCumber said:
"That will have to worked out
The senator was doubtful that an
other bonus bill could be put through
both houses during the short session
but the issue can be kept alive by
bringing it up.

A SOLDERING THOUGHT

Almost it takes ones breath to con-
slider what a boon it would be to the
people of this country, if by common
consent, all drivers of automobiles
would give practical support to the
Careful Crossing Campaign.
Hardly day passes without ou1
hearing about the Inauguration OF
propaganda to remedy this, that, O,
the other ill that is supposed to be a
menace to public health, comfort, OF
morals. Every new wrinkle of this
sort has its sponsors and adherants by
scores and hundreds.
The grade crossing horror, like the
poor, is always with us, but the two
glaring faults of thoughtlessress anG
recklessness, which are the contribut.
ing causes of most of these catastro
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-10-04

will be discussed for definite action.
The question. Of excessive freight rates
for transporting agricultural products
will receive the attention which that
important subject deserves. Taxation
and systematic plans for the gradual
amortization of past due agricultural
loans will receive the specific ,atten-
tion of the delegates. Constructive
Federal Legislation as an aid to farm
ers during this reconstruction period
and for the future will be definitely
acted upon.
The entire program of the Confer
ence is drawn for business, covering
vital issues which confront the farm
ers and business interests of South
Carolina at this time, the solution of
which will require the best thought of
the State and the most effective CO.
operation of the whole people. The
invitation is general. Farmers, mer-
chants, bankers, manufacturers and
other affiliated interests are earnestly
urged to be present and give one day
of thoughtful consideration to the fu-
ture welfare of the agricultural indus
try of this State,

General COTTON CONFERENCE
!" COLUhIA' OCTOBER II
Prominent Speakers Invited. Discus
sions Will Emphasize Practical
Methods Boil Weevil Control,
Farm Finance, And Marketing
Present Crop And Production For
1928. .....

Indications point to very large at
tendance of, delegates to the State
wide Conference called by the Execu-
tive Committee Of the South Carolina
Division of the American Cotton AS
ISOLATION, to be held at Columbia, Oc-
toher 18th. Speakers of national
prominence and experts on the sub
jects to be discussed have been invit-
ed to be present and participate in the
proceedings. Governor Harvey has
been invited to deliver the opening ad-
dress of welcome in behalf of the
State. Preparations have been made
to secure the appointment of at least
one hundred delegates from each
county, to include farmers, merchants,
bankers and manufacturers. Several
. hundred delegates will be appointed
from the State at large. The Con-
ference will open in the Columbia
Theater, corner Main and Gervais
Streets, at eleven o'clock a. m., We'd
nesday, October 11th. ...
Defective Cooperation Imperative
The crop of 1922 weevils now in the
cotton fields should be destroyed in
the fall of 1922 and not wait until
the Spring of 1923. How to do it
will be fully explained at the Con-
ference. Prices for spot cotton are
below, the average cost Of production.
How to get cost plus reasonable pro-
fit will be acted upon at the Confer
ence. A new system Of short term
agricultural finance, which is impera-
tive to the future rehabilitation of
agriculture in this State, will be pre-
sented to the delegates for adoption.

phes, are not meeting with the general
public condemnation that would surely
eliminate them.
10 be sure, we have, at the present
time, a nation wide campaign for
careful driving ut railroad crossings.
Safety bureaus of railroad chambers
of Commerce, supported by numerous
other agencies of a scmi-publi cnature,
are enlisted in the good work, but
there is still acking the support Of
that greatest force, the power of Pub
lie Opinion.
And so unfortunately, the loss Of
life and the manning of limbs, du1
almost wholly to forgctfulness of
danger, continues almost unchecked.
1t is u SOLDERING thought that the
remedy is so simple as to be quite
overlooked. A man of our acquain-
tance who has spent many hours OBJ
serving the methods Of motor car
drivers at grade crossings, declare
that he has noticed an apathctic dis
regard of rudimentary safety precau-
ton.
Hosts of drivers approach railroad
crossings with no apparent thought
of possible danger. This is not due
to ignorance, but forgetfulness; an
other remedy of what Franklin said,
that "More mischief is caused by lack
of care than by lack of knowledge"
Public opinion is against chance
taking at crossings, what we need
now, is crying one, is for the people
of the nation to speak in terms of
strongest condemnation of every act
of carelessness that contributes to the
already over burdcned list of cross
ing fatalities.
Your voice is an integral part of the
Voice of the People; so why not speak
right out in no uncertain words and
join in protest which shall be so uni
versal as to prove irresistible?

OIL TAX RULING

Washington, Oct. "a report re-
ceiVed from Mexico City today stated
that the Mexican government had de-.
clded that only the federal govern
ment can levy oil taxes, reproving the
state of Vera Cruz for attempting to
hx state impost on petroleum, in
addition to the federal tax.
This decision is of considerable i'm.
portance to American oil companies
operating in Mexico and is Indicative
OF President Obregon's determination
TO give square deal to all interests.

OF Europe was expressed at the OPEN
ing today of the 48th annual conven-
tion Of the American Bankers IS
sociation.
Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing direc-
tor war corporation and probable
candldate Tor govership of the
federal reserve board, delivered one
OF the principal addresses, saying.
The acute phases of the agricul-
tural crisis Of 1920-21 are now passed.
The aftermath in the form of a bur-
den on the farmers and stock men
still remains, and some thousands of
banking institutions IRE still in an
extended condition. But probably at
no time in our history has there
been so rapid and extensive improve
ment in our economic condition as
during the past eighteen months.
Mr.. Meeyr pointed out that the
crisis emphasized one outstanding
tact-the need for more gradual mar
ketlng of agricultural products with
longer term financing to correspond
with this slower process.
Europe's financial troubles, it was
expressed by the majority of the 5000
delegates present, will be met through
sterilization.
Various phases of the European
situation were relcgated into the
be aground by the drive Of smaller
ba IS to prevent legislation allowing
branch banking. The contention on
the one side is that such system
of national "chain" banking would re
suit in the money being hlcd by Wall
street and allied controllers.
The other side as voiced by per-
sons close to the big bankers inter-
ests, represented that branch bank
ing would prove financially and eco
nomically advantageous to the nation
One of the features of the conven-
ton is the exhibit dealing with for
gerles and counterfeit money at
which it is stated that $5O,OOO,OO0 in
losses was paid out in check forgeries
last year by surety companies Checks
raised from few dollars to many
thousands, signatures cleverely copied
and other ingenious practices of
forgery arc presented in a striking
manner, together with the announce
ment that a forged check is passed
every three i half minutes of
the banking day.
Here is what some of the delegates
had to say:
Thomas B. Adams, Richmond, Va.
"Fundamentally, America is in a
sound financial position and can look
on a forward to increasing pros
perity, provided carelessness and
selfishness are not allowe dto under

much assured as to business pros-
poets during the coming year. 1 have
come to the conclusion that the Eu-
ropean problem is the worlds prob
lem and that the United States can
no longer withhold its influence
without suffering moro by it's ex-
cluslon than by its participation"

But it is not alone in number
