WHEAT SHOW TO
BE HELD IN THIS
CITY IN SUMMER
--------------------
Prizes for Farmers Who Grow Best
Wheat, and Who Exhibit Best
Half Bushels and Wheat Sheaves
Announced by Demonstration
Agent.
--------------------
About fifty farmers of Greenville
here enlisted in the wheat growing
contest inaugurated by County De-
monstration Agent A. H. Chapman.
Each has agreed to grow and report
upon one acre of wheat and have a
half-bushel and a sheaf of wheat on
exhibition at a wheat show to be
held in Greenville during the com-
ing summer.

Prizes for the best wheat grow-
ers of the county were announced
today by Mr. Chapman as follows:

Largest yield, 30 tons ground
limestone, by American Ballast Co.

Best Half Bushel of wheat, $10 in
gold by Mountain City Mining Co.

Best sheaf of wheat, $[5?], by Farm-
ers Bank of Simpsonville.

Second largest yield, $10 in gold,
by Planter Savings Bank, Greer.

Second best half-bushel, barrel
flour, by Eagle Roller Mills.

Second best sheaf, $3.00 saw, by
Sullivan-Markley Hardware Co.

Third prizes will be announced
later.

About [30?] farmers in the lower
section of the county have enlisted,
as [blurry] the list containing a somewhat
larger number, is expected within
the next few days from the upper
part of the county.

There is still time to enter, says
Mr. Chapman. Any one can enter,
as there are no restrictions upon the
contest. The entrant must agree to
grow and report upon at least one
acre of wheat, and bring exhibits of
half bushels and wheat sheafs to
the wheat show.

BELIEVES FARM
LOAN ACT HELP
THE REALTY MART
--------------------
H. T. Mills, Local Real Estate and
Stocks Dealer, Expects 1917 to
be One of the Best Years in Real
Estate Fields.
--------------------
"I am looking forward to one of
the best years we've had in a long
time in real estate circles," was the
comment this morning by E. T.
Mills, well known dealer in stocks
and real estate.

Besides prosperous condition of
affairs generally, Mr. Mill believes
the establishment and operation of
the federal farm loan [brake?], under
the rural credits act, will operate
to make money freer and cheaper in
this city, and thus will make possi-
ble more extensive operations in the
real estate world.

The operation of the farm loan
banks, Mr. Mills believes, will lure
back to banking instituion and pri-
vate lenders, fully $200,000 in
Greenville county now employed in
farm loans at the highest rate of
interest permitted by law. The
rural credits act permits farmers to
borrow money to pay off mortgage
indebtedness and will permit them
to get the money at not more than
6 per cent annual interest. The
loans thus replaced will be turned
back to local institutions and will
probably result, Mr. Mills thinks, in
lowering interest rates.

CLAIMS HE IS READY TO
CHECK [ABRIGHT'S] SPEED
--------------------
`Cyclone` Mitchell of Baltimore
to Wrestle Greenville Man
Saturday Night
--------------------
Word was received yesterday from
Billy Mitchell which assures the fans
of Greenville "some match" when
the famous Baltimore and [Con?] Al-
bright wrestle at the [rGand] Opera
House next Saturday night for the
best two out of three falls, to a fin-
ish. Mitchell says he is going after
Albright with gloves off and does
not expect to let the Greenville man
get away with such rough tactics
which he demands the latter has
used in some of his matches here.
[Albrigt] seemed somewhat offended
when shown Mitchell's message and
denied that he had ever been the
sort to start rough play. "Neverthe-
less, I'll be on the job for Mr. Mitch-
ell or any other man," he added
cooly.

It was rumored around yesterday
that Mitchell was induce to come
here by Jack Jordan, who received
a black eye and who suffered a
sprained shoulder in a recent match
with Albright. At any rate, the
promising mat artist from the Oriole
City wire the promoters here to
ascertain if Albright could make it
interesting for him and stated his
desire to wrestle the Greenville Fav-
orite at some future date.

The date has been arranged. Sat-
urday at 1 p. m. is the time and the
Grand Opera House is the place.
During the evening battle royal will
also furnish thrills for the crowd.

COUNCIL MEETS
TODAY TO PASS
HOSPITAL LAW
--------------------
Ordinance Relative to Board of
Commissioners to be Introduced
by Special Committee—Probably
Take Steps Toward Purchasing
Plant.
--------------------
A special meeting of the city coun-
cil has been called for 6 o'clock
this afternoon for the purpose of
taking action with regard to the city
hospital.

A proposed ordinance establishing
and outlining the duties of a board
of hospital commissioners, the mem-
bers of which were elected at a re-
cent meeting of the council, will be
introduced, it is understood, by the
special committee consisting of Al-
dermen A. H. Wells, K. C. Harvley
and R. I. McDavid, appointed for
this purpose by Mayor Webb some
weeks ago. A meeting of the com-
mittee will probably be held short-
ly before the council meeting to
consider the ordinance before it is
submitted to council.

The special meeting of the coun-
cil will probably take some steps
looking toward the purchase of the
hospital plant on Memminger street
from the Greenville hospital asso-
ciation. A proposition from the
hospital directors to transfer the
property to the city at what is con-
sidered a very reasonable figure, has
been before the council for some
weeks past.

Funds for the purchase and im-
provement of the hospital have been
received following the delivery of
the recent issue of municipal bonds,
it is understood.
----------------------------------------
THREE HOUR CASE
BEFORE MAGISTRATE
--------------------
A case of petty [larcey], that burned
three hours came up before Magis-
trate John M. Daniel yesterday after-
noon. Six lawyers were in the case
and two defendants of J. C. Estes and A.
T. Teague, both of Judson Mill who
were charged with petty larceny,
Teague being also charged with hav-
ing received stolen goods. Both were
found not guilty.

Teague, it was brought out in the
testimony, asked Estes for a [blurry]
cloth to use as a rag about his work
in the Judson Mill on December 29.
Estes gave him about four yards of
cloth that had some defect in the
weaving. Teague carried this away
from the mill, as he said, for safe-
keeping, was arrested with it on the
charge and brought before the mag-
istrate.

Both the defendents were found
not guilty and the charge against
them was dismissed. Bonham and
Price and [Theaquin? Le Grom?] were
attorneys for the defendent Teague;
F. K. Earle for the defendant Estes
and Mosman and Hart for the State.
----------------------------------------

--------------------
True Bill Brought in by Grand Jury

A true bill upon an indictment
charging murder was returned by
the grand jury in the court of ses-
sions today against Frank Cunning-
ham, John Bailey, Jim Doak and
Noreeta Meese, who, it is alleged,
were in an automobile which ran
over and killed Mrs. D. C. Jarna-
gin, on Rutherford Road, one Sun-
day night in October.

The three men and the woman
were arrested by the sheriff follow-
ing a secret investigation of the
grand jury, in which an array of
circumstantial evidence was brought
out.

The grand jury spent considerable
time in the consideration of the case,
and returned their presentment on-
ly a few minutes before the morn-
ing session of the court was ad-
journed for dinner.

Other true bills returned by the
grand jury today were:

Lincoln Thompson, forgery. True
bill.

CASE VS WALDROP
CONTINUED IN THE
COURT THURSDAY
--------------------
The case against W. V. Waldrop, the
road foreman who is being tried in the
sessions court on a charge of obtain-
ing money under false pretense, is
well under way in the sessions court,
and witnesses for the State were still
being examined when the noon ad-
journment hour came today.

Several witnesses testified at the
trial today, among whom was J. W.
Norwood, chairman of the highway
commission who was pledged on the
stand at 11 o'clock. Mr. Norwood, on
being questioned, testified that the
foreman of a road gang was respon-
sible for the time of the gang. He
said that he did not have occasion to
visit Waldrop's gang on the National
highway before the 10th of Septem-
ber. He and Mr. Patton went together
to the camp on October the [14?], the
pay day following the 20th of Sep-
tember.

On this date Mr. Norwood said the
irregularities were found in the pay
roll of Mr. Patton. Details were [gone?]
told concerning the amount paid to
each man and the amount due.

This trial was begun on Wednesdady
morning and has already taken up a
day of the court. When the court ad-
journed for dinner, Mr. Earle, a State
witness, was on the stand.
----------------------------------------
P. O. AFFAIR IS
COMING UP SOON
--------------------
Some early developments are ex-
pected in the Greenville postmaster-
ship situation, and the matter will
be taken up during the next few
days in Congress, according to a
statement understood to have been
made by Congressman Sam J.
Nicholls in a letter to a Greenville
friend who is already in touch with
the congressman on the post office
situation.

Just what developments are anti-
cipated is unknown here, though it
is known that Mr. Nicholls is leav-
ing no stone unturned to take the
office from Mr. Traxter, the present
incumbent.
----------------------------------------
Breaks Arm While
Cranking His Auto
--------------------
J. Fred Ashmore, of Greenville,
who is the chief night clerk at Ho-
tel Imperial, suffered the misfortune
of breaking his arm while cranking
his automobile to drive it under a
shed at his home on Pendleton street.
Mr. Ashmore's wrist was broken in
two places and while injuries have
been very painful to him, it is stated
that his arm is healing very nicely.

FREE TUITION AT
STATE COLLEGES
--------------------
COLUMBIA, Jan. 3.—The presi-
dents of the State colleges and rep-
resentatives of the State board of
education and the State board of
charities and corrections met at
Flinn hall, University of South Caro-
lina, Tuesday morning. There were
present at this meeting: Supt. Bond
of the Citadel, President Currell,
Johnson and Riggs of the university,
Winthrop and Clemson; Supt. J. E.
[Swearingen] and M. R. Rivers, repres-
ending the State Board of education,
and A. D. Oliphant, representing the
State board of charities and correc-
tions. Mr. Rivers is chairman of a
special committee of the State board
of education which will soon meet
to consider and suggest desirable
changes in the laws governing schol-
arships and free tuition.

The purpose of this conference of
college presidents was to consider
fully these matters and, without in
any sense commiting their respec-
tive boards of trustees, to give to
the State board of education and its
committee the benefit of their judg-
ment and opinion. After a full dis-
cussion, in which all present parti-
cipated, the following resolutions
were adopted as embodying the per-
sonal views of the State college pre-
sidents in regard to existing scholar-
ship laws.

"1. That the scholarship examina-
tions for Winthrop college be held
on the third Friday in June, instead
of the first Friday in July, as here-
tofore; and the scholarship examina-
tions for the Citadel, Clemson col-
lege and the University of South
Carolina on the fourth Friday in
June, instead of the second Friday

[article continues on column 7, under Marklay Hardware ad]

in July; and that the names [of the]
successful competitors together [with]
the financial statements [filed with]
them, should be submitted [to the]
State board of charities and [cut off-]
tion on or before July 15.

"2. That the faculties of [the re-]
spective State Institutions, on [the]
committees as may be delegat[ed to]
the respective boards of tr[ustees]
should make a full report as [the]
examination standing of these [com-]
petitors for scholarships who [took]
the examination together [with]
such recommendations as they
care to make to the State bo[ard of]
education and that the State [board]
of charities and corrections [cut off]
make the report as the [cut off]
status of applicants who passed [the]
examination and those who a[re ap-]
plying for free tuition direct [the]
State board of education and [to]
the State board of education [cut off]
[blurry] the question of free t[uition]
and the award of scholarships, [pro-]
vided in the constitution of [the]
State."

As a substitute for all existing [cut off]
tion and scholarship laws, the [re-]
ference adopted the following [ex-]
pression of opinion:

"1. That there should be [free]
tuition for all students at State [in-]
stitutions for higher learning, [and]
for professional students in [cut off]
medicine, etc."

"2. That all scholarships, [cut off]
those at the Citadel and the [cut off]
agricultural scholarships at Cle[mson]
should be terminated at the [cut off]
tion of present tenures and [no fur-]
ther free scholarships be given cut off]"

"3. That in lieu of free sc[holar-]
ships there should be establish[ed]
the funds of the State treas[ury]
loan fund for the use of in[cut off]
students; said fund to be admi[nister-]
ed as is usual with student [cut off]
funds."
