South Carolina always has

So said Mrs. Maria Croft Jen-

during a hurried visit here for
conferences with Administration
officials. Mrs. Jennings, who is

woman from South Carolina, has
recently been appointed registrar
Of the Federal Land Bank for
the third district.
Mrs. Jennings stated that she
is confident her State will vote
itself wet when the legislature
meets next month, saying that
South Carolina would. "look ridic.
ulous" if it acted in any other
way. She continued:
South Carolina has always
been wet. Everybody knows
that. The sentiment there is
predOminately for repeal.
The people in my State have
always had their corn. They
made it and they drank it,"
She said that the dry vote there
was caused by the failure of many
people to get out and vote. Many
men were too poor, she continued,
to pay the 81 poll tax.
Mrs. Jennings added, however,
that there is a strong dry organ
ization in the State and a great
deal of dry sentiment.
In her position as registrar of
the Federal Land Bank, she is GUS
todian of all securities of the
banks under her Jurisdiction in
North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida. The banks under
that Jurisdiction are the Federal

NAVY PAYS PACE
FALLS BEHIND

Public school teachers in the
District of Columbia have had
their salaries increased m ore
than 13 times as much as have
the Navy's personnel, Secretary
Claude A. Swanson declares
The comparison between Navy
pay and that of District school
teachers is made in Swanson's
annual report to the President
and Congress.
Army and Navy pay increased
only II per cent between 1908
and 1892, the Secretary points
out, whereas salaries in public
schools here increased las per
cent. His report adds:
"Tt Is apparent naval service
pay has not kept pace with the
increased cost of living nor with
the pay Of other governmental
services"

DOG EXHAUSTED
AFTER HUNT

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 4.
Hunting is a great sport, but
when you have to carry one Of
your own dogs back from the
hunt, along with Is birds and IL
rabbits, it is quite annoying.
This was the experience of
young men who went hunting
near Pasadena, Anne Arundel
county. They returned to their
homes in Brooklyn yesterday
with plenty Of game-and the
dog thrown over the shoulder of
one Of the group.
They explained that the animal
had chased a rabbit for about
three miles, and after becoming
lost. wandered about until they
were able to locate him. One
of the men said
"And when he saw us, he
just dropped from exhaustion"

SUBSIDY URGED

A reduction Of Is to 40 per cent
IN railroad freight rates, with the
Government subsidizing the reduc.
tion if necessary, was proposed to-
day by Representative Huddleston
Cd Of Alabama as a means of
rehabilitating railroads and fur
thering prosperity.
AS a member Of the House In
terstate Commerce Committee,
which has been studying the rail
road question for years, HuddleS-
ton declared the railroads cannot
achieve prosperity without in
creased business. He said:
81 believe that a re iuctiOn of
Is to 40 per cent in rates should
be made temporarily, even if it
involves a Government subsidy.
ut would be cheaper for the
Government than the present
policy of lOaning money through
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
pOratiOn. More than S4O0,OOO, 900
has been loaned. Much Of it
will not be paid back, and If
kept up will mean that the rail-
roads will have to be taken over
by the Government.
Tonnage is being excluded
from the railroads because the
rates are higher than the traffic
will bear, and all business is
being Handicapped by reason Of
the high cost of transportation.
The growth of the truck indus
try represents the effort Of bust
ness to get out from under
freight costs they are unable to
bear"
