TARIFF BILL HALTED
BY POINT OF ORDER
Senator Simmons Takes Position
That Conferees Tave Exceed
ed Their Authority.

Washington, Sept, 16.-The con-
ference report on the tariff bill was
called today in the senate and imme-
diately was subjected to a point OF
order by Senator Simmons Of North
Carolina, Democratic leader in the
tariff fight. After more than an
hours discussion, Senator Cummins
(Republican) Of Iowa, president
protempore, announced that he
wished to take the question under
advisement and the senate recessed
until Monday.
Senator Simmons contention was
that the cosfer had exceeded their
authority by proposing authority
for the president to declare Ameri-
can valuation as the basis for fixing
ad valorum duties on any items, in
the bill, when the senate by direct
action had limited such authority to

raphs dealing with duties on coal

CORN PRODUCTION
AT LOWER FIGURE
Crop Off More Than Half Million
Bushels Below That VI
Last Year.

Saluda, Sept. 16.-According to
report of the division of crop and
live stock estimates of the United
States department of agriculture, the
production of corn in South Carolina
will be about 100000 bushels less
than last year, while the production
for the entire United States will be
Approximately 100,000,O00 bushels
less than in 1921.
In referring to the report B. B.
Hare, agricultural statistician for the
United States department of agri-
culture, says:
"The preliminary estimate of corn
production in the state is 32,350,0OO
bushels as compared with December
estimate for last year of 32,955,oOO
bushels. The present forecast for the
entire United States is 2,874,s59,O00
bushels against 3,oso,372,ooo bush
els in 1921.
"Condition of corn in South Caro-
lima on September l was " per cent.
of normal sweet potatoes 81, Irish
potatoes 76., peanuts 60, rice rs,
sorghum for syrup 80, cowpeas,
tobacco 65., hay 49,, millet 81, crap.
es 60, and pears IS. The estimated
number of hogs on hand for fatten-
ing is the same as last year.
"The excessive rains form early
spring to the middle of August show
very damaging effect or production
of both cotton and corn, and the
dry weather at present is showing
considerable injury to late corn, an
extent of which will not be known
until the next report.

NOW THAT 1T is OVER.

Now that the primary election is
over, it is perhaps time to say that
the people of this state consume as
much time and a great deal more
energy in selecting officers for state
and lesser offices as many men do IN
making a livelihood. 1t is somewhat
of a reflection on the people OF the
state that we begin away back IN
Nav and do not finish with the cleo
ton of officers until November. All
the hurrah and stir may suit the for
tunes of the politicians but it is not
profitable to the people generally.
Of course most of the men who do
the running are out to save the peo-
pie from some tax burdens, but the
man who will lower taxes is seldom
elected, and if he happens to get in
to Office something always happens
to keep him from carrying out his
well-laid plans.
We believe the people of Able
vile County, by a system Of town
ship meetings could select in one af-
ternoon delegates to a county con-
:vention, which in turn could select
officers for the county in an equally
short time, and at the same time
name delegates to a state convention
to nominate state officers, and that
neither the county nor the state
would suffer by so doing. We might
be spared a good deal of unnecessary
excitement by so doing as we'll as
get rid of most of the demagogues
and all the time-serving politicians
who have done so little for the state
in the past several years.
We might indeed hope that men
would be named for office who have
real convictions on public questions,
and who are not all things to all

HOME DEMONSTRATION
AGENTS MEET AT WINTHROP

Rock Hill, Sept. 16.-The Home
Demonstration Agents of South Car
DINA are assembled at Winthrop
College, Rock Hill, for a special
meeting. For five days they are
having intensive training in food
preparation for market and study,

The call to help the Farm Woman

louder in the ears of the Home
Demonstration Department than any
other problem. Every effort is being
made to train the Home Demonstra-
lion Agent that she may be of great

GROWING TOBACCO.

We do not know anything about
growing tobacco, but if good to-
bacco can be grown on the lands
about Martins Mill, we see no rea-
son why 1t cannot be profitably
grown in practically every section of
Abbeville County. The results of Mr.
Quick's experiment with "the weed"
this year would seem to indicate that
tobacco can be made a very profit
able crop in Abbeville County.
We will continue to grow cotton
n this county for a long time. But
there will be years when not much
cotton IAN be made. Then again it
: going to be more and more ex-
pensive to grow cotton, and until
the price is considerably higher than
it is today there is going to be little
~"ney to be made in the planting
and growing of cotton, even under
most favorable conditions. With
higher priced lands, higher priced
labor, higher priced fertilizers and
a new item of expense in the way Of
calcium ~arsenate for poisoning, it is
going to cost so much to raise cot
ton that the price must Of necessity
hn greater if there is to be a profit
to the grower.
One way to keep from being for
ever pauperized by cheap cotton is
not to rely on it altogether. By
planting some cotton and some 9TH
cr crop as a money crop we would
help ourselves very much. The other
crop which will bring in money is
what the people are looking for.
And it would seem from the ex-
pertinent already made that a tobac.
co crop is worth considering.
