Mellon is holding the Office of secre-
tary Of the treasury in violation Of
the law and can be arrested for re-
tanning the place if any one sees fit
to swear out warrant charging him
with the offence, Senator Watson,
Democrat, Georgia, declared in the
senate late today. The law which
Mr.. Mellon is violating, Senator Wat
son said, prohibits the secretary of
the treasury from engaging in any
kind of business or commerce.
Senator Watson told the senate
that Mr.. Mellon could be impeach-
ed "any time we see fit" and read
to the senate the provisions r.. sec
tion 243 of the revised statutes which
he declared expressly forbids Mr..
Melton to retain his place. He de-
clared that by staying in Office, the
secretary was violating the law, add
ing that it was generally known that
Mr.. Mellon was one Of the wealthiest
individuals in the country.
The assertions by the Georgia
senator were made in connection
with several speeches of the accom-
plishments of the two major politi-
cal parties.

STREET CAR STRIKE
TIED UP COLUMBIA.

TIED UP COLUMBIA.
Columbia, S. c., Feb. 15.-No
street cars operated in Columbia to-
day and indications are tonight that
none will be run tomorrow.
No move was made during the
day to end the strike that was called
by the motormen and conductors at
2 o'clock this morning. No men re-
ported at the barn this morning to
take cars out and the company made
no effort to operate with other en-
ployes.
The union president announced
that no cars would be taken out by
union men tomorrow nor did he know
when they would return to work.
The company made no statement
but published an advertisement in
which it was pointed out that the
company operated last year at loss
of $4,000. The advertisement also
said that after the discharge of the
FL men yesterday it had sufficient
men left on the payro1ls to operate
all it's cars.

doubts whether it would be possible
to raise the necessary sum for the
bonus under bond issue without
largely advancing current interest
rates and thus disturbing the finan-
cial stability which the government is
seeking in order to help the business
world. Mr.. Harding feels that he has
been entirely consistent in his atti-
tude this time as compared with last
summer. He makes frank confession
of the fact that in the primary cam
paign which preceded the Chicago
convention of 1920, he came out for
a soldier bonus. Things were said by
him and sundry other candidates for
the presidential nomination which he
admits were not as sound in judg-
ment as he finds things to be upon
entering executive responsibility. But
faithful to his promise, insisting that
he never failed to keep promise pub
licly made, Mr.. Harding does not now
say that the bonus is wrong in prin-
eciple but he stands by it and will
sign a bonus bill. Fortunately for
him he did not promise an exact date
or specify generally the time when
payment would be made. His posi-
tion, therefore, today is what it was
last summer-the time is not ripe for
a bonus. Maybe it will never be dur
ing his administration but so far as
the outlook at the moment is con.
cerned, Mr.. Harding reluctantly con-
cludes that the bonus payments must
be abandoned temporarily.
The sales tax is looked upon with
more favor by Mr.. Harding than any
other special taxes suggested for pay
ing the bonus. But the Executive is
inclined to wait until the whole tax
alton program is again revised SO
that the sales tax may absorb the
present taxes as well as the new
taxes required to pay the bonus.
Political pressure for the bonus
has been intense. 1t has been met
lately by strong pressure from busi-
ness interests who also have political

GOOD TO THE LAST

A FAIRLY GOOD SHOW.

Coburn's Minstrel Show was at the
Wilson Theatre last night. A good
sized audience laughed all through a
performance which was not notably
clever. The Jokes were not the new
est; probably none of the voices were
unusual; however, it was an enjoy
able show.
Laughter is good for the soul; and
the most sensible of folks can enjoy
two hours of nonsense that goes with
the usual minstrel show. And too,
there is a glamour and fascination
about the minstrel show. When the
curtain goes up on Sshining black
faces and gloriously gaudy costumes,
the most prosaic feels thrill OF
pleasure. Everybody likes the studied
of the end man; the
shrill voiced negro nanny" and
last night there was rheumatic
Uncle Remus" Happy Jim Bonham,
who gave a dance which was rather
clever.
There was a ''soft shoe" dance in
laugurated years ago by famous
comedian who as the dusky dancer
last night stated ''has since crossed
the great divide" These black face
artists put great deal more of senti-
ment into their profession than the
average person would believe.
Charley Gano was probably the
star last night. He was pleasantly
plump and he was so1emnly funny
Everybody laughed at Charlie.
The solos were not works of art,
but there was a tenor who sang a
song about Scotland and Scotch
1assie that made folks think about

body they hadn't seen for years.

financial footing so far as negotiat-
ing loans is concerned.
Cigar-leaf tobacco remains in
storage from to years, and it is
highly important to the producers
that ample facilities for financing the
crop are available, says the depart
ment. The primary purpose of the
warehouse act is to provide those who
warehouse agricultural products with
receipts that will be readily accepted
by banks as collateral for loans. Any
person, partnership, corporation, or
association having a warehouse pro-
perly constructed and managed can
be licensed by complying with the
provisions of the act and with the re-
EQUATIONS for tobacco warehouses;. In
administering the act the Department
OF Agriculture has general supervi-
sion over the conduct of the ware
house, but does not interfere in any
way with it's management. The de-
Ipartment's principal supervision con-
sists of making quarterly inspections
of the premises, the contents and ac-
count of the warehouse, and the
warehouseman's financial condition.
Progress is being made by the de-
partment and various State agencies
in connection with the proposed es-
tablishment of standard tobacco
grades, and it is expected that tenta-
tive tobacco grades for the principal
types of tobacco will be formulated
toward the close of the present year.
Tobacco experts in Virginia, North
Carolina. Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Wisconsin are now making
comprehensive study of the tobacco
industry for this purpose.

ORPHANS IN NEED.

ORPHANS IN NEED.
Wilson county's campaign to raise
it's quota of $3.50 for the Near East
Relief this year will be launched the
26th with Rev. E. L. Flanagan of Will
son in charge, according to informa-
tion received from Raleigh, from
Col. George H. Bellamy, state chair
man.
This money will feed, clothe and
educate 83 orphans of Armenian
martyrs who are now in the five
North Carolina orphanages at Tre-
bizond. The Tarheel state is saving
the lives Of 1894 of these helpless
tots this year. Josephus Daniels is
honorary state chairman. 60
Mr.. Flanagan has been at work for
sometime perfecting his organization
and reports Wilson county ready to
do it's duty. He succeeds the Rev.
Morrison Bethea, with whom he was
associated last year, in raising Will
son county's quota. Mr.. Bethea has
moved to Raleigh, having been made
Arch Deacon of the Raleigh District
of the Episcopal Church.
Many of these children were made
orphans during the Great War when
100000 of Armenia's 100000 troops
lost their lives in defense of the
Baku oil fields.
| Had the Central Powers captured
these vast stores, Col. Bellamy point,

Financial End of

In connection with the pageant The
Makers of America" which was pre-
scented Fourth CT July by the Augusta
Anericanizatiop Association, Secretary
George c. Clarke of the Augusta Cham
bei of Commerce called attention yes
terday to the fact that not a penny
was paid the directors or actors for
their services. All who took part in
the performance or assisted in the
coaching gave their services gratis
so that the only expenses were
for the band and the materials for the
costumes. Some of the costumes We're
purchased and others were made by
the ladies of the d. A. r.
AS was expected, the various COM
m:.tees for the Fourth celebration

some instances exceeded these appro-
priations. The cost of number of
items on the days program was i'm
possible to estimate accurately in ad-

RAPIDLY FILLING
NAMES QUOTA

The Citizens Military Training
Camp quota for Maine is rapidly fill
ing according to Captain Judson
Hannigan, aide to General Edwards,
who has been in Maine for the past
few weeks in connection with this
work.
II was afraid that Maine would
not fill it's quota but the situation
looks decidedly better today than it
did last week." he says. The num-
Der of applications is rapidly in
creasing and I expect that the quota
will be filled within the next 10 days.
Those who hold off too long in MAX
ing their applications for this camp
are bound to be disappointed for
General Edwards has made it an in
flexible rule that applications shall
be accepted in the order in which
they are received. Those whose ap-
plications are received after the
quota has been filled will have to
wait until next year.
IAN important decision was
reached when the General ruled that
boys 16 but whose 18th birthday
comes before the camp closes on Au-
gust 81 are eligible to attend the
camp. Under this ruling many boys
can attend the camp who otherwise
would have been barred as too
young.
ION August ! the boys will report.
Already preparations are under way
for their reception.
This is the last summer of active
service for General Edwards. He re-
tires next New Years day and this
camp will be his last field command.
The CMTC movement is one of the
dreams of his life and for those of us
who know him it is the deepest con-
Germ Of his heart to see this last great
effort for the New England young
men prove to be the most successful
effort Of his career"
