[headline, spans cols. 1-2] THE SEVENTY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF S. C. BEGINS MEETING ----------o---------- ORGANIZATION OF HOUSES IS FOLLOWED BY MESSAGE ----------o---------- MESSAGE READ THIS AFTERNOON ----------o---------- Deals With the Economic, Agricultural, Commercial, Industrial, Governmental and Other Internal Needs of the State—Lyles Chosen by the House. ----------o---------- ****************************** James A. Hoyt of Columbia was re-elected speaker of the house without opposition. J. Wilson Gibbes of Columbia was re-elected clerk, his only opponent being Harold C. Booker of Spartanburg, editor of The Journal of that city. No opposition was developed to A. E. Hutchinson of Rock Hill as reading clerk of the house. ******************************* Columbia, Jan. 9.—(Special.)—The house of representatives of the seventy-second South Carolina general assembly at noon today was organized by James T. Lyles of Orangeburg, who was elected temporary chairman.

Governor`s Message.

Columbia, Jan. 9.—The annual message of Richard I. Manning, governor of South Carolina, dealing with the economic, agricultural, commercial, industrial, governmental and other internal needs of the state was read in the senate and the house of representatives this afternoon, following the organization of those bodies.

The Visit Winthrop.

The acceptance of an invitation to visit Winthrop college at Rockhill next Friday and the reading of the governor's annual message completed the first days business of the house. The house will meet Wednesday morning at 11.45 o'clock.

In a message of about six thousand words the governor today makes his annual message to the general assembly. Education, election laws, law enforcement, prohibition, rural credits, the warehouse systems and state farmers are among the subjects handled.

The governor said in part:

"In conformity with custom, and in response to an obligation imposed by the constitution upon me as governor I submit for your consideration the following message:

"The past year has been signalized as one of unusual and far-reaching events, and the obligation rests upon us to join together in fervent thanks to Almighty God for His Guidance and for the blessings He has bestowed upon us.

"Expressing thus our gratitude to Him whose beneficient providence has unerringly guided us, we turn now to a consideration of those specific duties that devolve upoon us as servants of our commonwealth.

Education.

"I recommend to your special consideration the report of the state superintendent of education. The report is highly interesting and instructive, and exceedingly encouraging. I cannot too strongly stress to importance of the work in the common schools, because the education of the vast majority of our boys and girls is limited to that education which they obtain in the common schools and only a small minority of them can obtain the advantages of college education.

"In my opinion the time has come when the statute for compulsory attendance should be made state-wide but should allow districts that are unprepared or unwilling to enforce compulsory attendance, to petition for exemption.

"The need for compulsory attendance is emphasized by the fact that on January 1st, instant, under the provision of state law regulating child labor, about 2,400 children were discharged from work in the cotton mills. These children cannot work in the mills under the state law— they should be in the schools.

"The training in agriculture in the common schools is too important to be neglected further. We cannot afford to lag behind in the progress and new industrialism that now stirs the nation.

Primary Election Laws.

"I desire to call your attention to our primary election laws. In South Carolina the primary election is decisive and is the election which determines who your officials shall be and the policy of the state government. Under these conditions, it is of the first importance that the untrammeled will of the people shall be honestly expressed by their ballots, shall be fairly counted. The elector should be able to express his choice independently without compulsion, fear or reward.

Many states of the union as a result of observation and experience have found it necessary, from time to time to safeguard elections so as to get the untrammeled and independent will of the voters. As far back as 1874 I recognized the necessity and urged upon the legisla-

[article continues on column 2, bottom section]

ure the adoption of the Australian Ballot System. After twentytwo years of observation and experience, I again commend the system to your consideration, for cities, towns and large communities. I believe that at present it is unnecessary to apply it to the small communities.

Law Enforcement.

"The governor is held responsible for the enforcement of law, and he is expected to require peace officers in the counties to discharge that duty. This is in accordance with the principle of home rule; but under our consitution, the sheriffs of the counties are not subject to suspension or removal by the governor, even in cases where they manifestly fail to enforce law. Thus, while the chief executive is responsible for the enforcement of law, he is not given the authority or power which would make his orders effective.

"I believe that the governor should be held responsible for the enforcement of the law. If he is held responsible for it, he should be given the power to require locacl peace officers to discharge their duties or upon

WOULD MAKE CITY SHIPPING POINT FOR ASPARAGUS ----------o---------- J. B. KNIGHT BACK FROM ANNUAL MEETING OF GROWERS ASSOCIATION ----------o---------- FARMERS MAY PROFIT AND COMBAT BOLL WEEVIL ----------o---------- Greenville Man President of Asparagus Growers Association, Would Have Greenville County Farmers Plant Sufficient Acerage to Make This City a Shipping Point Under Co-operative Plan. ----------o---------- "I would like to see an asparagus growers' association organized by farmers around Greenville, and have this city made a shipping point for this vegetable", said J. B. Knight, clerk of the federal court here, commenting this morning upon the record made by asparagus growers in the central and lower parts of the state, brought out at the annual meeting of the South Carolina Asparagus Growers association, held yesterday at Ridge Spring.

Mr. Knight is president of this association, which is a co-operative organization to aid its members in marketing the vegetable at the best obtainable prices. Mr. Knight is well known throughout this section, but many of his friends will be somewhat surprised to learn of him in the role of an asparagus grower. That is, nevertheless, a fact, as Mr. Knight has an asparagus farm near Trenton. Last year he shipped 1,- 400 crates of the vegetable from seventeen acres. This year he has increased his acerage and has about 22 acres. Senator B. R. Tillman is another member of the association having a farm of about 22 acres near Trenton.

Answer is Boll Weevil.

Pointing out the profits that may be made from a small acerage of asparagus, Mr. Knight said he believed this was one answer to the boll weevil problem. While practically no asparagus is grown in this immediate section on a commercial scale Mr. Knight says the vegetable can be grown here, and he would like very much to have a sufficient number of farmers plant a small acerage to make this city a shipping point, and thus take advantage of the co-operative marketing system which the South Carolina association has built up. Mr. Knight says he will do all in his power to assist local farmers in getting up the local association and would be glad to have any that are interested come in and talk the proposition over with him.

At the annual meeting of the association in Ridge Spring yesterday, officers were re-elected and a number of interesting talks and reports were heard; Dr. F. G. Asbill vice president; J. W. Jones, secretary, and treasurer. Among the speakers were C. E. Bassett, specialist from office of markets, Washington; F. W. Huffman, market agent of state, Clemson college; W. J. Shealy, industrial agent, Southern railway; W. W. Robertson, general manager, Southeastern division, fruit growers express, Atlanta; A. R. Rule, general manager, North American Fruit Exchange, New York. One hundred and ten growers were present, representing 90 per cent of the green asparagus grown in this state. A splendid dinner was served the visitors by the ladies.

Big Crop and High Prices.

Reports showed that last season the association marketed nearly 100 carloads of the vegetable at the highest average price ever known in this industry, running from $2.98 per crate of one dozen bunches at Trenton, to $2.20 at Hattieville.

This year, it is estimated, the association will ship at least 125 carloads.

Idis Brabham, of Hattieville, has 350 acres in asparagus, and is the largest grower of the vegetable, east of the Mississippi.

Cut Out Commission Men.

The association was formed in 1915 with the purpose of eliminating the commission man, who got a large portion of the asparagus growers profits. It was organized with the aid of the United States department of agriculture, and instead of selling through commission men, have employed what is known as a sales agency, having offices in 110 cities in the United States and Canada. This organization is the North American Fruit Exchange. The shipping season begins in March, and ends about May 12th. During this time the exchange is intimately in touch with the market throughout the country and is able to secure the highest possible prices for the members.

In order to make the industry profitable, at least 200 acres must be under cultivation in asparagus near a railroad station from which the vegetable is shipped, as the green asparagus is shipped in refrigerator cars, and the growers have found express service unsatisfactory. The association now has five shipping points, [Rirge] Spring, Trenton, Hattieville, [EElko] and Williston.

Would Organize Here.

In order to make Greenville a shippint point, sufficient farmers of this

[article continues on column 4, bottom-most paragraph]

vicinity must go into business to make a total acerage of 200 acres, five hundred would be better, says Mr. Knight.

LAWSON IS THREATENED WITH CONTEMPT TODAY ----------o---------- Continued Refusal to Answer Places Burton Author of "Franzie Finance" in Danger of Contempt Proceeding—Making More Mysterious and Interesting Charges. ----------o---------- Washington, Jan. 9.—The continual refusal of Thomas W. Lawson to answer categorically questions in the leak inquiry caused the house rules committee to entertain a motion by Representative Bennett that he be cited before the bar of the house for contempt. The motion was held on table for action after a previous motion by Representative Chiperfield is disposed of. Lawson this morning refused to give the name of a banker who he said had told him a New York States sentor participated in a stock gambling partnership. Lawson said he didn't think it fair for the committee to go further with contempt proceedings "hanging over my head."

Other Vague References.

Lawson gave reasons for refusing to answer questions although faced with three separate resolutions to put him in contempt, as follows:

First: He contended the rules committee had no power to conduct a thorough investigation, including one of the stock exchange such as he urged and he could not be assured of an investigation if he disclosed names.

Second: Lawson said he considered that a disclosure of names at this time would have a disastrous effect for the country and administration and in preference he preferred being punished for contempt of congress. Congressmen questioned, crossexamined and pleaded in vain with the Boston financier to give the names of the informing congressman, cabinet officer or senator.

"I can not name the cabinet officer to whom I have referred without mentioning another official of higher position," said Lawson, "and that would be more serious than if I cast a cloud over the entire congress, and was sent to jail myself for life." --------------------o-------------------- GOT FRACTURED SKULL IN FIGHT IN CRIPPLE CREEK ----------o---------- Pat Ballew, Manley Neely, Fleet Cantrell and Louise Stone Held Without Bil for Injuries to Judson Mill Man. ----------o---------- As a result of a row in "Cripple Creek," just outside the city limits, last night about 8 o'clock, Jim Landers, a resident of Judson Mill section, is in the city hospital with a fracture skull, and Pat Ballew, Manley Neely, Fleet Cantrell and Louise Stone are held in the county jail without bail, pending the outcome of his injuries.

Details of the affair are vague, but it appears Landers was beaten over the head with soft drink bottles, and his condition is considered critical. The fight occurred, it is stated, in the establishment of Fleet Cantrell, and involved the woman in some way not clearly understood by the peace officers. Pat Ballew and Manley Neely are well kn own in that section of the county. --------------------o-------------------- HARD FIGHTING ON IN RUMANIA ----------o---------- Berlin, Jan. 9.— Desparate fighting in the valleys leading into the interior of northern Rumania is reported by the war office.

WOULD OPEN THE HUNTING SEASON ON THANKSGIVING ----------o---------- Important Measures will be Proposed by Game Wardens at Legislature—Local Game Warden Has Asked Support of Greenville County Delegation of Bills. ----------o---------- J. B. Thackston Greenville county game warden, has received information that the state game warden will ask the general assembly this year to make considerable changes in the hunting season for birds, and to pass various other measures intended to and in conserving the game birds of this state.

It is proposed to have the hunting season for all game birds open on Thanksgiving, and close on February 1st. The change would be of considerable importance to sportsmen inasmuch as the dove hunting season opens August 15, and the partridge season on November 15th. Mr. Thackston had taken the matter up with the local delegation and asked their support of the measure when it come before the general assembly. What action they will take is at present unknown.

Other important laws to be proposed by the game warden are measures to require all dogs to be tied up during the bird breeding season, and to make the use of automatic shot guns unlawful. Dogs [runningat] large in the fields, it is said; frequently do more harm to breeding birds than hunters would, and for this reason it is felt that a measure requiring dogs to be tied up during the bird breeding season would result in great conservation of game birds.

In regard to shortening the hunting season by having it open on Thanksgiving, Mr. Thackston believes this is a sufficient time for the sportsmen to enjoy hunting the birds, and says that South Carolina now has longer hunting seasons than almost any state. --------------------o-------------------- TRYING WHISKEY CASES IN GREER ----------o---------- Five Bound Over Before Magistrate James This Morning on Charges of Violating Dispensary Law. ----------o---------- In the presence of a throng of Greer folks, preliminary hearings are being held today before Magistrate James, in Greer in the cases of the fifeen or more persons charged with selling whiskey in Greer.

TELLS FRIENDS SHE NOW FEELS 16 YEARS OLD ----------o---------- ANDERSON WOMAN SYS EFFECT WAS SOMETHING LIKE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ----------o---------- [advertisement for Tanlac]

After suffering twenty years with indigestion and several other troubles, Mrs. M. O. Beasley, of No. 49 Riverside St., Anderson, found in Tanlac the right remedy to restore her health, she said, substantially, in a statement praising and endorsing this wonderful medicine.

"I suffered from indegestion for twenty years," said Mrs. Beasley. "I would suffer with a lumpy, painful feeling in my throat after eating, hot water would rise in my mouth and I would get so nauseated that I would have to go to bed for a while. I was certainly in bad health in every way and I could hardly do my housework, I was so weak.

"I had no energy and I was nervous a great deal so much so at times that I could hardly stand it. When I had these nervous spells, I would have a craving appetite and I would try to eat everything I could get and then I would suffer with terrible attacks of stomach trouble. When I was not nervous, I had no appetite and what food I did force myself to eat would cause me to suffer terribly with indigestion.

"I decided to try Tanlac, for I had read and heard so much about it, and Tanlac gave me relief right away. The medicine gave me a great appetite, broke up those nervous spells and stopped the nausea. I gained a great deal in weight and a lot of strength. My digestion is good now and when the first bottle of Tanlac was taken I could eat anything I wanted and not suffer afterwards. I tell my friends now that I feel like a sixteen-year-old girl. Really, I feel fine in every way.

"My nerves are in fine shape now and I do not easily get tired. I have improved a lot in every regard and it has made my life much more pleasant and certainly did give me health and strength."

New Spring Mourning Hats AYERS Where Thousands Buy Their Hats _______________________________ [column 2]

Here and There Among 1917 Fashions

Hats are introduced for Palm Beach Aiken, and the spring sporting events are high-crowned, pot-shaped, made of fuzzy felt. They are done in brilliant yellow more than any other color, and the novelty is that they are crossstitched in black worsted threads, in a loose, negligent manner. In the front or on the side, the two edges of the material are brought together and laced with the black thread.

MONKEY FUR AGAIN Black monkey fur is extensively used on the new gowns coming from Paris, as well as on hats and wraps. It is the only trimming used on a white tulle ball gown draped over flesh colored satin.

SMOCKED EVENING WRAPS Evening wraps which are really warm [and] entirely [evelope] the figure this winter, are made of velvet and satin, in veritable turquoise blue, Slavic green, peacock blue and Vatican purple. One of the best models is smocked with self-colored silk thread from neck to middle of shoulders.

FILET LACE TRIMMING New blouses show filet lace used extensively as trimming. This fashion began in November, but was not widely taken up until the present month. The usual form the filet lace takes is a wide turnover [colar], extending into a broad panel that runs to the waist in front, and deep [cus] that fit the wrists and are fastened with small lace buttons. Although the lace is sometimes put on handkerchief linen blouses, the most fashionable combination is with crepe de chine and Georgette crepe.

SWEATERS FOR THE SOUTH Sweaters that go over the head and are cut in two straight pieces caught at the wrist, without collar or sleeves, are exploited for the season in the south. These sweaters are of gaudy, rough-surfaced woolens. They are primitive [inoutline] and material. Navajo blankets be used for these sweaters and if it is done it will create a colorful sensation.

HATS FOR EVENING The edict of the French government that hats and simple gowns must be worn in the evening in public, has already brought about the fasion in this country. Milliners are delighted over tthe change. They are offering all manner of brilliant and expensive hats to wear with low evening gowns. It has been a half dozen years or more since this fashion was accepted in America. Today one [see] more than half a dozen fashionable women in the restaurants, in the evening, adopting it. The majority of these evening hats are of silver tulle or button cloth.

NEW WAY WITH FUR The new way of using [four] on the bottom of the skirt or on a long redingote coat, is in part broken bands of it at irregular spacing. Sometimes there is only a band across the front of the skirt or across the back of the coat. Again, small pieces of fur will be used to stimulate a block design.

BLOCK PRINT TRIMMING The newest sport suits for Palm Beach sent over by Callot show a block design in colors used as a border for skirt and jacket. Large blocks of Indian red will be used on a cream colored silk jersey suit.

SUEDE AND JERSEY Callot introduces a sensational new sport suit made up from a side-pleated skirt of white silk jersey and a short coat of white suede. It is lined with Indian red silk jersey, and collars and cuffs of the kid are faced with the red.

AFTERNOON CAPES Mme. Paquin has introduced long, full capes of satin, with immense collars of fur, to be worn in the afternoon. Some of them have belts of bullion-embroidered satin across the front.

STUDS AGAIN The men who make white wash blouses in special designs are getting orders for finely tucked ones of thin cambric, with frills down the front and buttonholes through which are of turquoise and amethyst, set in rims of dull gold. This is known as the quoit setting.

STRIPES AGAIN One of the new sport suits that is

[article continues on column 3, middle section]

ultra-fashionable is made of broad white and yellow striped silk jersey, which emphasizes the fact that striped silks are to be in high fashion this spring.

RIBBON USED INSTEAD OF EMBROIDERY It is remored that Paris wil substitute ribbon for embroidery in the spring. If this comes true, the prices of gowns may be less. America [faded] this to come true, for it is difficult to have fine embroidery done in this country at moderate price. All the new ribbons are very brilliant. Antique designs are copied. Gralnds of roses are used between gold and silver stripes.

VIVID BLOUSES There is an attempt to bring back vivid blouses for the spring. This will be quite easy to [od], if the blouses are worn outside, [an dnot] inside, the skirt. Straight middy blouses of blue and purple crepe dechine are offered in the specialty shape. They are embroidered in colored threads and bullion.

LESS MEAT IF BACK AND KIDNEYS HURT ----------o---------- TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS IF BLADDER BOTHER YOU. ----------o---------- Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble in some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of distress, particularly backache and misery in the kidney region; [rheumatic?] twinges, severe headaches, [illegible] stomach, constipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness, [bladde rand] urinary irritation.

The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoon in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the seed of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders.

Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease. —Adv. ____________________________________ [forward to column 3, middle section]

Cheerful Glow of Intimate Light ----------o---------- The subject of lighting our houses has become an absorbing one within the last few years. And really we have made greater strides toward an artistic understanding of lighting than we have toward an understanding of many other household problem.

Of course, there are often good lights with a small artistic value, and equally often lights that appeal to the artistic sense, but that are decidedly conducive to the big bills from the occulist. It is the duty of the clever woman to see to it that the lights in her house combine both artistic value and practical qualities.

Nowadays when a house is built the lights for each room are carefully planned and those in each room fit its other furnishings, in form and color. But there is always room for an added light or so, to give greater comfort or convenience to the various members of the family. It is in buying these lights that every woman has a chance to show her good sense and taste.

For an all-night light, where such a thing is necessary, probably nothing is more satisfactory than the so-called nursery candle—a squat, thick candle that will burn for eight, ten or a dozen hours. This candle is safe if it is properly shielded from draughts. It comes in a metal holder, and this is placed in a little glass cup, usually, with high sides that serve as a shield. There are other glass shields. And it is possible too, to buy a three-sided screen of painted metal to place around such a candle, or another other night light, either to keep away draughts, or to keep the direct rays of the light from any given direction.

Electricity is so easily turned on and off that few of us use night lights nowadays. We prefer to have an electric light at the bedside, and switch it on and off at need or pleasure. There are many new and interesting lights for this purpose.

One is the little Pompadour doll light. This consists of a bisque body or a charming little lady with pompadoured hair and tight bodice, atop a buffant skirt of satin and brocade, held out by a wire frame under which is hidden an electric bulb. This doll lamp is decidedly pretty for the bed-

[article continues on column 5, top section]

side [illegible]

Then there is the glass candlestick fitted with an electric wire. This can dlestick looks best surrounded by a small silk shade of the kind that are used on the dinner table, when candles are shaded. A shade a light larger than the one that would be used with real candles is necessary, but it can be in the same style and shape.

This same sort of glass candlestick would be quite appropriate for the desk light in a bedroom.

There are now made wooden lamps, enameled in pale blue, French gray, pink and the other colors usually used in bedroom and boudoirs. These are very pretty and they are not expensive either. They can be shaded in any desired fashion. Cretonne [shads] can be used to good effect if the room is hung with cretonne. And if the room is decorated in one of the French periods, silk shades of the period, trimmed in gold lace and fringe can be used.

There are also some lovely shadow which any clever woman could make. They are no more than a square of silk edged with fringe, laid over a rounded, lamp-shaded frame. Sometimes a heavy tassel is fastened to each of the four corners of the square of silk and braid instead of fringe is used for edging. At all events, the four corners hang down in a most attractive fashion. Any of the thin figured Japanese silks would answer admirable for a shade of this sort.

For the light that is used for reading in bed there are some very clever small electric lamps fitted with a looped portion to hang over a hook screwed to the bed or into the wall by its side. These are very convenient. They come in gilt and green finish.

Men, as well as women, like convenient lights for their hours of recreation and leisure. There are admirable little smoking stands and reading light combined. Some of them have small claim to artistic merit, but all of them are suggestive of peace and comfort, and some of them are good looking too.

These lamps are usually made of brass, sometimes in a dull finish. They consist of a substantial standard, on which little racks and trays for the smoker's paraphernalia are fastened. The standard is topped with light, adjustable, and pleasantly shaded, so that its rays can be directed exactly on magazines, newspapers or book. _______________________________ [advertisement for Dodson's Liver Tone, spans cols. 4-5, middle section]
