Warehouse Commis
sioner Talkg of For
ty Cents. Advises
To Go Stow
Columbia, Sept. 21.?Cotton at
?35 or 40 cents a pound before an
other year is "'entirely within the
bounds of reason," according to J.
Clifton Rivers, warehouse commis
sioner, in a statement issued yes
terday^
Mr. Rivers urges to farmers to
go slow in offering their cotton for
?sale as he expects a gain of from
$25 to $50 a bale within a few
weeks. ' .
;In discussing: the general situa
tion, Mr. Rivers made the follow
ing statement :~
"Knowing that it is not good
policy to advise people concerning
the future prices of cotton,* I have
refrained so far this year from ap
pearing* in the -public prints, but
conditions have forced themselves*
upon us, and in the face of a mar
ket steady and strong, with the
sale" of Texas cotton at the-rate
of -?0,t)O0 bales per day, together
with an industrial ?? situation, the
like of Tvhich at marketing time
the cotton belt has never experi
enced, it is time/for somebody to
sit up and take notice:
\ "Cotton with all this tirade of
selling and violent bearish cir*
cumstauces has remained steady at
a price around 22 cents per
pound; therefore, those who have
studied the situation are convinced
that as soon as the supply begins
to diminish and.the industrial sit
uation has a prospect' of settling,
a great deal higher prices than at
present will be realized for spot
cotton.
"It, therefore, behooves every
farmer who has a.bale of cotton to
go slow in offering it for sale, as
a few weeks, in the opinion of the
writer, will show a gain of $25 to
$50 per bale in the amount rea
lized from such sale. Store your
cotton in a state warehouse-and get
a receipt issued by the state and
relieve yourselves of your liabili
ties and watch your product in
crease in value shortly by leaps and
bounds, at ? minimum cost. It ft
entirely within the bounds of rea
son to predict that cotton will
bring 35 to 40 cents per pound be
fore another year, and this in
crease in value should be turned
into the hands of the farmers rath
er than into the hands of the cot
ton speculators. Sell just as lit
t3e cotton at present prices as you
possibly can and store and hold
for a few weeks and realize the
profit, which in my" opinion * and
in the opinion of dthers who have
studied the situation; will be a'great
increase over the present price."
ENTOMBED
MINERS AEE
ALL DEAD
Jackson, Cai, Sept. IS.?All fo*
ty-seven of the miners entombed
in the Argonaut mine August 27,
are dead, .it was announced offi
cially shortly before 9 o'clock to
night.
A note found on one of the
bodies indicated that all the men
had died within five hours of the
beginning of the fire August 27
officials said. ' x
All the miners were found be
hind the second* of two bulkheads
they had built in a cross-cut when !
4,350 feet down in the mine. By
ron O. Pickard, chief of the fed- j
eral bureau of mines for this dis- J
trict, was the first nfan to go be- j
hind the bulkhead and discovered !
the bodies. '
Pickard, on an earlier" explora- j
tion behind the bulkhead, had
counted forty-two bodies and ex
pressed the belief then that there
were others there.
The note found read as fbl- j
lows:
"3 a. m., gas had."
j. The same, note bore a scrawled
figure "4" apparently indicating
the same man had attempted to
leave word for those who might
come after, of the condition of the
mine at that hur.
Mine officials declared that the
condition of the cross-cut behind
the bulkhead was such that -life
could no* have been sustained
there by the entombed men for
more than five hours.
The bodies were piled one on
top of another and decomposition
had progressed so far that identi
fication would be impossible, Pick
ard reported.

CONGRESS
j PREPARING
TO ADJOURN
House Reaches Deci
sion to Dissolve on
Friday?Up to Sen
ate
Washington. Sept. 20.?A resolu
tion calling for sine die adjourn
ment at 2 p. m. Friday was adopt
ed by the house today by an over
whelming vote and the measure
was sent, to the senate which is
expected to adopt it, if it is evident
it can complete its business by that
time. Otherwise the senate will
amend the resolution to provide
for a later adjournment.
The house practically disposed
of its pressing business with its ac
tion on. the soldiers' bonus, but
members were urged by Represen
tative Mondell of Wyoming. Re
publican leader, to remain on the
job for possible action on a re
quest from the president for a spe
cial appropriation for relief of
American; refugees in the Xear
East. The senate, however, has
before it for disposition the Liber
ian loan, a deficiency appropriation
bill and other matters which may
or Jnay not be given final consider
ation. Meanwhile the question of
calling congress in special session
about November 15 to take up the
administration -ship subsidy bill,
amendments to the transportation
act and certain appropriation bills
was considered at ? conference to
day between President Harding and
Speaker Gillette of the house, Sen
ator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
Republican - senate leader, and
Representative Mendel, the Repub
lican house leader. The congres
sional leaders were said to favor
such a step and President Harding
has indicated that it was under
consideration.
In the closing moments of the
house session today Mr. Mondell
sought unanimous consent for two
minutes in which to tell of the
achievements of this congress and
Representative Garrett of Tennes
see, Democratic leader, asked if the
story could not be told in one min
ute.
"The ^ congress has, transacted
more important business during the
present session than was ever
transacted by any congress in
American history," said Mr. Mon
dell, after which he asked the
privilege of'extending his: remarks.
"I suggest that the gentleman
from Wyoming be given an hour in
which to tell what congress has
failed to do." said Representative
London (Socialist) of New York.
J Mr. Garrett obtained permission
to extend his remarks on "the non
work of congress," announcing
that he might include some obser
vations on the subject by the sec
retary of war and others.

' Columbia, Sept. 21?The largest
delivery of old colon yet made to
the South" Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association was made
yesterday by Josh Kirven, of Darl
ington, who turned over 1200 bales
of old long staple cotton to the
association. Delivery Of \ this cot
ton under the terms of the con
tract was optional, but Mr. Kirven
decicTed that he would market the
cotton through the association.
Officials of the association said
today that old cotton was pouring
in from every section of the state.
Members of the organization are
delighted with the advances which
they are receiving, according to let
ters 'which are being received at
headquarters. The association is
now making an initial advance of
12 cents a pound on short staple,
old and new cotton, and IS cents a
pound on long staple, old and new.
The first lire to occur in asso
ciation cotton was in Lee county
Monday afternoon, when some cot
ton belonging to L. D. Welch, of
j Elliott, was burned en route from
the gin to the depot. Mr. Welch,
notified the association Tuesday of
j his loss and Wednesday at noon
j the association- had a check from
j the insurance company for the cot

Women at the Polls -
CNews and Courier)
In Clarendon County, where 160
women were enrolled at the Wood
row Wilson box, the vote in the
second primary last Tuesday stood:
Blease 19, McLeod 107. In the city
of Sumter, where there was an en
rollment of 1,150 men and 529 wo
jmen, a total of 1679?the vote cast
[last Tuesday totaled 1.498, all but
174 votes being cast, the vote stand
ing: Blease 223, McLeod 1,275.
It would be very difficult, prob
jably impossible, to determine with
any accuracy just how many wo
men voted in the second prlmary
on Tuesday. Any estimate
as to how they voted would he
guesswork .pure and simple. Never
theless we-think'that it can be as
serted with conviction that in this
ejection the influence of the wo
man vote.was decidely wholesome.
Ih may be credited with having giv
en us one of the quietest campaigns
South Carolina has ever had, more
free of mudslinging than any other
campaign of like importance and
fundamental interest. The pres
ence of the women at the polls was
beneficial at many places also.
There is no possible question that
the women of South Carolina, the
great majority Of them, not only
did not want the vote, but were
opposed to having it trust upon
them. This done, however, a great

their new responsibilities very se
riously and patriotically, and this
! in spite of the bad example set
i them by some of their sex who, af
Iter leading.in the.agitation for the
j vote, then ran away, deserting their
I duty for the sake of their ease and

RAILROAD
CHIEFS HELD
RESPONSIBLE
Chicago. Sept. 3 9,?Responsibil
ity for the raHroad shop crafts
strike was Charged to the Asso
ciation of Railroad Executives by
B. M. Jewell, head of the strikers
in .answering Attorney General
Daugherty's injunction bill today.
He did not appear in person but
his attorneys read Into the record
a 28-page affidavit in which Mr.
Jewell recited what he considers"
the causes of the strike,"detailed!
the history of various unsuccess
ful peace conferences and declar
ed the union leaders had never j
countenanced violence.
' He said that, since August 2,
when the strikers accepted Presi
dent Karding's second peace pro
posal the railway executives have.I
maintained a lockout.
"To all intents and purposes'
Donald R. Richberg, attorney forj
the defense said', interrupting the,j
reading of the affidavit, "the strike
ended August 2, when-the men told
the president they accepted his]
plan of settlement. After that it J
was a lockout."
Mr. Jewell said he had .been ad
vised by counsel that the railroads i
had no legal right under the rules j
of the United States Railroad Labor
Board to deny bis men their former.,
seniority rights when they resume!
work.
The defense attorneys preceded
the Jewell affidavit with the in
troduction of 89 injunctions ob
tained by various railroads "against
strikers oh their lines. They con
tended that these local .injunctions
gave sufficient guarantee against
violence and that a nation-wide re
straining order' was unnecessary.
, Assistant Attorney General Crime
objected that the government had
the right to ask injunctions to pre
vent the destruction of interstate
commerce and interruption in de
livery of the mails.
The causes leading up to. the
strike as the strikers see them
date back to 1920 according to the
Jewell affidavit.. At that time the
labor committee of the Railway
Executives Association, headed by
President Gray, of the Union Pa
cific adopted, a report favoring
steps to organize regional - adjust
ment boards as provided by the
Transportation act. W. W. Atter
bury, vice president of the Penn
sylvania, presented a minority re
port" ih opposition.
The majority report was rejected
by the association and Mr. Atter
I bury was named to succeed Mr*
Gray chairman, of the labor
committee. This, he said, was re
I garded by the employees as the be
ginning of a campaign, to destroy
j the effectiveness of the employes
j organization's and the United States
! Railroad Labor Board, .
On January 31. 1921, the affidavit
continues, Mr. Atterbury made a
peremptory demand before the la
bor hoards Sot? abrp^at'qn of fthe
national agreements made during
jthe war.. The agreements were
(abrogated and disputed rules re
ferred back to the principals; when
they were unable to agree the
board again heard the case and
promulgated new rules to which
the shopmen objected. /
During the same period Mr. Jew
j ell said the practice of letting cori
! tract's for shop work to outside
J contractors, and the election of an
i employes committee on the Penn
sylvania were decided by the board
! in favor of the employes hut he
jsaid the employers disregarded the
[decision. Mr. Jewell denied that
