men are affected, no disturbances oi
any kind were reported and all Of the
roads claimed that both passenger
and freight trains were being handled
without interruption Of any kind.
Train operations are just as usual
and we are carrying crowds, even on
the extra sections that have been at
tached for the holiday pilgrims" was
the word from the general offices of
the Northwestern lines.
II do not expect the strike to inter
ferc with train movements" said S.
M. FELTON, president of the Chicago
Great Western railroad and chairman
of Western rail executives. THE ex-
perience of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific and other roads that
have had extensive shop strikes, shows
no interruption Of traffic is to be ex-
pected.
Among the presidents of railways
entering Chicago, the determination
was expressed to have no dealings
with the representatives Of the stril1-
ing unions. They were unanimous in
declaring that the issue was not be-
tween the unions and the railways but
between the unions and the United
States labor board
The executives also asserted that
the strike was far from being 100 per
cent. perfect in the Chicago district,
many men remaining at work. The
Illinois Central and the Glover Leaf
were reported to have been the least
afected, although no exact figures
were obtainable. The executives de-
clared that only one Of the Pullman
shops had been unionized by Mr.. Jew
ellis department and that this shop
alone Of all the Pullman shops will
be shut down The construction depart
ment, 1t was said, will be available
for the use Of railroads when repairs
are to be made. Many other car build
ing plants, including the Haskell and
Baker shops at Michigan City, Ind,
Will be asked to take care OF the re-
Of tie roads can be kept in condition.
Meanwhile the labor board received
assurance from the administration in
Washington of compelte backing in it's
policies. At Topeka, Kan, Gov. Henry
). Allen summoned the industrial
court judges and Attorney General
Hopkins into conference TO consider
means for dealing with the strike. In
many sections the roads were assured
OF police protection and in the larger
cities guards were thrown about the
shops. A slight clash was reported at
Ivy City, Md, when striking shopmen
from the Baltimore & Ohio shops
detail Of guards for strike
breakers, but no one was injured

taking cognizance of the fact that only
very small number Of women have

idea Of having a ladies enrolling day

Of the Democratic party, which has
been the bulwark Of good government
In our state and nation, feels that the
party machinery should render every
aid possible to the convenience Of en-
rolling the women Of our county on it's
club rolls. We rely on them to assist
us In maintaining Democratic princi-
pies in county, state and nation.
Therefore, deem it proper and
right that we should set apart spe-
cial day to be known as Ladies' Day"
FOR the enrolling Of every woman Of
our county, entitled to membership
In our clubs, and I hereby designate
Saturday, July 10. 1922, as such day.
The executive committeeman from each
club is hereby urged to see that the
enrolling committee place the club
roll at some central place in the dis
trict on that day, that the ladies not

CONDITION REPORT
SENDS COTTON UP
New York Market Adqances
$3.50 a Bale
CROP FIGURES
BELOW ESTIMATE
OFFICIAL Report Of Cotton Condition and
Acreage Well Below Estimates Of
Private Reporters. Heavy Buying
Stimulates Market Which Goes to
High Levels.

SHmulatcS Market Which Goes tC
High Levels.
New York, July An extremely
rapid and excited advance followed the
publication Of the government end
June crop figures in the cotton mar
ket here today, The report, making
tho condition Of the crop 71.2, the
area under cultivation S4,852,000 acres
or TO per cent more than last years
and the indicated crop IL ,065, 900 bales,
compared with an indicated yield of
S,433,O00 at this time last year, was
not very far below the average of
lMvate reports recently published.
1t was evidently we'll below general
expectations, however, and after a
comparatively quiet morning, proved
the signal for heavy general buying.
There was enough realizing to mo-
mentarily check the adance around
the % cents level for October, but
circulation OF the figures brought an
other buying wave and prices reached
the best levels late in the afternoon,
with all deliveries making new high
records for the season. October con-
tracts which had sold off to 20.47 on
the decline Of early last week, sold
at 1926 this afternoon, making an
advance of over 21-2 cents per pound
from the recent low level and of IT'S
points Of approximately $500 per bale
from the closing quotation of Satur-
day.
The buying On the small crop fig
ures was said to be stimulated by ex-
pectations that the report would lead
to heavy buying by foreign apinners
in Liverpool while the American mar
kets are closed tomorrow, particularly
If the rains reported in the southwest
today should continue, There was al
SO bullish comment on rumors that
ocean freight room had been engaged
last week for the shipment Of $4,000
bales Of cotton out Of the local stock
to Europe, but the main factor was the
small crop indication and apprehen-
sions OF more than the average de-
terioration In condition this summer
because Of the boil weevil.

on His Character.

Moncks Corner, July 3.-Featuring
the we'll attended meeting OF the state
democratic campaign party at Moncks
Corner today was the violent resent
ment Of George X. Laney, guberna-
torial asDirant, anent the continued in
timations Of John T. Duncan that as
member Of the canal commission Of
the South Carolina general assembly
Mr.. Laney had refused to fight for the
development Of the canal, and had
seemingly encouraged negotiations
whereby the canal property would be
sold to e. w. Robertson, OF Columbia,
for a mere pittance. Mr.. Laney stated
that he would allow no one to cast
aspersions on his good name, that no
suspicion Of crookedness had been
heard relative to any dealings during
his 20 years Of Legislative life, and
that any man who intimates any
crookedness in respect to the canal
matter on his part is liar. my
whole life has been lived in the build
ing of my character, and it shall not
be besmirched," concluded the Ches-
terrified senator.
At the conclusion OF his speech Mr..
Laney was questioned by Duncan who
inquired why the senator had failed
to state from the platform since the
meeting at Beaufort, that he favored
development Of the canal for the tax
payers Of the state. Mr.. Laney said
that he had already expressed him
self. Asked by duncan why he failed
to answer certain letter, Mr.. Laney
answered that he thought so little Of
the letter that he had not opened it,
and If he could find it, he would re-
turn the letter to Duncan unopened.
Mrs. e. Barton Wallace, candidate
for superintendent Of education, took
occasion today to take fling at can
didates in the race who are backed
by "slates, clubs, rings and things"
She stated that she was not aligned
with clubs who were pressing her
cause, that she had always been busy
in the cause OF education, social up
lllly anu pnySlCdl TellcI lOF Tie uHlOF-
tunates OF the community where she
lived and that this service to humanity
had received her time and attention
instead Of the most select clubs Of
Columbia, in which her membership
had been solicited. Mrs. Wallace told
Of her work in connection with the
childrcn's clinic, said that this institu-
ton was the pet OF Columbia, and at
tributed the success Of the clinic to
the fact that she spent her afternoons
at the clinic instead OF among the club
women OF the city.
No matters Of special Importance
were developed among the other
candidates who were present. A
lrTge number, including former
Governor Cole Il. Blease. were absent
at the meeting today for various rea-
sons.
The meeting at Charleston tonor-
row night is expected to be produc-
tive OF further Developments in sew

ANTl-LYNCHiING BILL
BEFORE SENATE

| u ~
Eight to Six Vote. B0rah Joins Five
Democrats ON Committee In Epress.
Ing Opposition to Provisions.
| Washington, June 3O.--The Dyer
anti-lynching bill, providing penalties
by the federal governmet for mob
action, was reported favorably with
amendments today by the senate ju-
dietary committee by vote Of to6.
Senators Ashurst CDemocraD Of
Arizona and Norris (Republican of
Nebraska did not vote.
The vote today ended a long COM
mittee fight over the bill, which was
passed last January by the house and
which has been urged by negro and
other organizations. Opponents of the
measure have declared 1t an uncon-
stitutional interference with state
rights.
Comparatively few changes were
made in the original house bill and
these were said to be designed to meet
the constitutional objections. A sub
committee Of the senate committee
recently recommended debeat OF the
bill on the ground that it violated
the constitution. Some senator's voting
today for a favorable report were said
TO hold doubts regarding it's constitu-
tionality but thought the bill should
be enacted and put up to the supreme
court.
The bill declares that If states fail,
neglect or refuse to maintain pro-
lection of life they shall be deemed
to have denied the constitutional guar
antees and the federal authorities will
have power to act by indictment of
state officers or members Of mob
and trial in the federal courts.
The measure requires reasonable
efforts by state officers to maintain
order and protect prisoners and their
failure would subject them to i'm
prisonment for five years and fine
OF $4,000. Members of mobs in which
prisoner Is put to death would be
subject to conviction OF conspiracy
with imprisonment for five years to
life provided, Counties in which fatal
mob disorders occur would be liable
to the family Of the victim under a
forfeit Of $4,000.
Amendments adopted by the senate
committee require that failure of the
state officers 70 protect mox victims
must be charged In the federal indict-
ment and proven to the satisfaction of
the federal trial court.
The bill has had an unusually hard
course in the senate committee after
q stormy birth in the house. After
lying In the judiciary committee with
out action for several months, Sena-
tor Lodge Of Massachusetts,, Republic
can leader, and other Republicans
started the movement for disposition
by the committee which eliminated
in today's favorable vote. Republican
leaders were doubtful, however, wheth-
er senate consideration could be Sc
cured at this session.
Eight Republicans, Chairman Nell
son of Minnesota, Dillingham; Of Ver-
mont, Brandegee Of Connecticut Cum
Minis Of Iowa, Colt of Rhode Island,
Sterling OF South Dakota, Ernest of
kentucky and Shortridge Of Califor-
MIA, voted in favor Of tho bill. One
Republican. Senator Borah, Of Idaho,
and Ave Democrats, Ct,lberson OF
Texas, Overman Of North Carolina,
Reed OF Missouri, Shields Of Tennes-
see and Walsh OF Montana were re-
corded in opposition.
