i ing Corn Show to be held by the
Planters Bank in Abbeville, Novem-
Der 16, II and 18. These commit

BUSINESS TREND
MOVING UPWARD
CAR LOADINGS DURING WEEK
ALMOST REACH HIGHEST
PEAK-PRICE OF FARM PROD
UCTS MOVES UPWARD-cOT-
TON PASSES rs CENTS

New York, Nov. 7.-Practically
all the available iaV,ices of bushes:
activity point to a continuation, a.
during the past week of the tenden
cy toward revival. Car lioadings
for the week ended October 21, to-
tailed 100000 cars, almost equali
ing the greatest performance in the
aauntry's history during the fall ot
1921 when the high record of l.
109,080 cars were made.
In addition, it Is pointed out -in
financial circles that the latest
loading returns shpw an unpre-
cedente,d movement Of general mer-
chandise. Coal shipments have con.
tributed to recent gains a praduc.
tion Of 100000 tons of bitumin-
ous week being maintained.
Nevertheless, the grain in the nsoye-
ment of the other kinds of freight
has been even greater and has
beaten all records.
Automobile po|1ductions also re-
MAIN remarkably good. :Ocbober's
total exceeded Septembers by ap-
pr'ximately 20 per cent. Reports
from the textile districts also are
favorable the mills finding that re-
cent advances in price have not
had a diverse effect on demand.
Even the main order houses which
are dependent largely on farm pur-
chasing power show encouraging
gains during: October as compared
with year ago, the two chief COM
panies reporting increases of aHout
Is and 35 per cent respectively. .
That farmers purchasing power
should be measuraIbly increased is
indicated by recent gains in the
prices Of farm products. Decem-
Der wheat nose during the past
week to over SLIT a bushel, which
is approximately 20 per cent? above
the recent low, and the same deliv-
cry of c'otton finally amounted to
above 25 cents a pound. The latter
price is the best since the great
break of 1920, and is we'll over
twice the low price of last year.

SESSION Of
CONGRESS NOV. 70
TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF
REGULAR SESSION.-M Err
u,
CHANT MARINE AND DYER
ANTIJLYNcHING BILL TO BE
DISPOSED OF

Washington, Nov. 7.-President
Harding expects to issue a call
Thursday or Friday for a special ses'
sion of congress convening Novem.
Der 20, it was announced today at
the white house.
1t was said that although the
president was not irrevocably COM
mitted to the proposal for the special
session which has generally been
expected by congressional leaders,
only an eleventh hour change of
mind would prevent him from issu-
ing the call,
The plan for a special session has
received the endorsement Of senate
and house leaders. It is understood
the president feels by meeting at
least two weeks in advance Of the
regular legislative program can be
so advanced as to enable congress to
clean up its slate by the time the
regular session ends next March 4.
The feeling among administration
officials has been that unless an ear
lier start is made than would be pos
sible with congress meeting the first
Monday in December, an extra ses-
sion undoubtedly would be necessary
after. next March A.
Although the program for the spe-
cial session has not been worked out
definitely it briefly provides for con-
sideration by the house Of the mer-
chant marine bill and work by the
senate on the Dyer anti-lynching bill
which has already passed the house.
Administration leaders hope these
Two measures can be disposed of by
the time the regular session con-
venes, and house leaders have as
sured the president that by that time
committee work on a number of reg
ular appropriation bills will have
been finished.
The house appropriations commit
tee has been called to meet Friday
to begin it's work.

ANSWERS READY
FOR PRESIDENT
MANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO AL.
LIED DEBT-MAN HAS PLAN
BUT WISHES TO KNOW MORE
DETAILS OF PRIzE-oNE is
HOLDING BACK.

Washington Nov. 7.-Sugges
tions for setting the question of the
allied wartime Indebtedness to the
United States have been pouring in
to the treasury since President Hare
ing recently expressed a willingness:
to award a prize for any practica,
concrete suggestion for its collect,
ion. The president, it was explained
at the White House at the time, con.
adered interesting suggestions by
numerous individually that the debt
should be collected but he had found
unanimous disinclination to make
concrete proposals as. to how col
lection was TO be accomplished.
Evidently, It was considered by
high officials of the treasury today
many persons and taken the report
DER Of a prize by the president lit
orally and daily suggestions as to
how the the various foreign" debts
might be liquidated are reaching the
treasury. One man wrote that he
had a plan but wished to know
more concerning the prize before
he had made known its details.
However according to high ofici-
ais, none of the debt liquidation sug
gestion so far received have offered
anything of constructive nature for
the solution of the problem.
The foreign debt funding COM
mission, it was said, eis making a
study of the economic conditions
within the various foreign, debtor
nations in the light of their ability
to meet their wartime obligations
to this country. AS a result of this
study, it was indicated, the commits
sion would be in position to know
just what might be expected from
each debtor nation and determine
its policy with respect to pressing
for payment or waiting for the de-
velopment of better circumstances
as the individual cases might war
rent.
In the study of economic condi-
tions, the commission is giving con-
siderable attention to the gold sit
uation and the foreign trade post
ion of the various nations IS having
weightSin the deter
of their ability to pay.
As yet high treasury officials de-
clared, no consideration has been
given to the suggestion from a
broad, that the United States be re-
presented in some form at the pro-
posed Brussels conference to con-
slider economic questions and inter-
allied Indebtedness,

FINAL LRETURNSSH
CANTOR DEMOCRATS
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY TO BE
SHARPLY REDUCED IN NEXT
cONCRESS.-ONLY SOCIALIST
OUT WITH DEMOCRATS IN.
SMITH GETS BIG VOTE.

aHSU 4ofh, NOV. o.-AI "A. Ala
Eastern standard time the trend o:
the returns in the election for tn
United State senate and the hous'
of representatives was in favor o:
the Democrats. With returns fol
upSre than half of the house com
plete, the Republicans had not un
seated a Democratic representative
and Democratic candidates had de
feAted more than 25 Republicans
To gain control of the house, how
ever, the Democrats must ,gair
nearly 80 seats
The senate returns at that hour
showed definitely and Democratic
gain By the defeat of Senator Calder
in New York. That, however, was
Offset By a Republican gain of one
in Nebraska, where R. B. Howell
had defeated Senator Hitchcock.
At g o'clock the congressional re-
turns were complete from only II
states.
Hiss Alice Robertson, Republican
of the Second Oklahoma district the
only woman in congress and the Sec
ond of her sex to hold a seat in the
house OF representative, was beaten
by her Democratic opponent, W. w.
Hastings, the male candidate she de-
feated two years ago. A half dozen
other women running in various
states on various tickets also were
beaten.
The house of Representative how
ever, despite the defeat of Miss Rob
ertson of Oklahoma will have a wo-
man member. She is Mrs. Winnifred
NJ. Huck Republican, daughter of
the late William B. Mason, VINO serv-
ed in both senate and house from
Illinois, elected a representative at
large from Illinois. In the
same state, Uncle Joe Cannon's dis
trict remains in the Republican
.colurnn with election of William P.
Halliday, a Republican.
New York, Nov. 7.-Former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith rolling up the great
est plurality New York city has ever
given any candidate in any election,
today was swept back into the CUB
ernatorial chair, from which he had
been elected in 1920 by Gov Nathan
L. Miller.
Republicans not only admitted
the defeat of Mr.. Miller but conced-
ed that William M. Calder had lost
his seat in the senate to Royal S.
Copeland, health commissioner of
New York City, formerly mayor of
Ann Arber, Mich, and until today
an untested factor in New York pol
tiles. With the success of their ticket
leaders, Democrats were claiming
gains in congress and the legisla-
ture, but the Republicans maintain
ed stoutly that their majorities in
the senate and assembly had been
little impaired.
