Wc are glad to report this year that the efforts pul forth bore abundant fruit, and South Carolina has made a splendid recovery. The 1023 cotton crop was increased to 703.000 bales, a gain of •302,000 bales over the 1022 production. The tcbaeeo crop of the state increased from 34,400.000 pou inks in 1022 to 7-L --400,000 in 1023; corn production in creased from 20.309,090 bushels to 32.- (570.000 bushels; wheat production rtyse ‘>om 1,320.000 bushels to 1.023,000 bushel)*: the *>ats yield grew from 0.774,- 000 to 10.728,000 bushels; the Irish ]x>- toto crap increased from 2,308,000 bush els lo 3,130.00 bushels; and peanut pro duction rose from 27.300.000 pounds to 32,300.000 pounds.

DEMOCRATS CALLED FOR CONSULTATION and Robinson, of .^rkan- REFUBIJCANS IN V fi CONFERENCE ALSO Senators Curtis and Lodge Talk With President—Oil Lease Question is Discus sed by All. Washington, Jan. 31. —Both demo cratic and republican leaders of the Sen ate were consulted by President Ooolidge today just before debate on the Walsh oil lease annulment resolution was re sumed. <. After the ranking senators in the re publican organization had paid an early rail so the White House, the President summoned Senator Walsh, democrat, of Montana, who has had a prominent part in the oil inquiry, and Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the democratic floor trad er, and author of the resolution calling for the resignation of Secretary Benby. ‘ Senator Walsh recently stated in the course of the Senate debate that he had assumed from the fact the President had not called any -democratic* senators into consultation that Mr. Goolidge consider ed the whole subject a partisan matter. . Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the republi can whip, reached the executive office before they had opened for the day, and when he found the President still was in the White House proper, hurried there to talk with him. The republican floor leader. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, arrived at the White House soon afterward. White House officials said the Presi dent desired tb discuss with the two Democratic leaders the whole question of the investigation as made by the Seu ate committee and as contemplated by the executive branch of the government. The conference was the first >the Pres ident has had with Democratic Senators since the oil lease inquiry assumed its .present proportions. Silas IJ. Strawn, one of the special ■counsel selected by 4he President to eon ■?r£i - taneously with the two Senators, but did not go into conference with the Pres ident with them. Arrangement were made in the mean time for a conference between Mr. Strawn and .T. Crawford Biggs, of Ra leigh. N.

The Senate oil committee held no ses sion. but three physicians selected by it went to the apartment where former Sec retary Fall is confined to determine whether he is too ill to testify when the committee hearings are resumed tomor row. In the midst of these developments, rumors of cabinet' changes involving re tirement of Secretary Benby and At torney General Daugherty continued to fly thick and fast, but Secretory- Slemp denied flatly a story thht the two cabi net members had placed their resigna tion before the President. It was indicated that all features of the problem were talked over with ilu* President by Senators Robinson and Walsh, but much of the conference was taken up with the question .of special counsel.— Mr. Ooolidge lias selected Thomas W. Gregory, of Texas, a former Democratic attorney general, to act with Mr. Strawn, and he is on his way to Washington. There were evidence# yes terday. however, -that something might have gone amiss with the plan, and it was even more apparent today that the makeup of the government’s counsel was the subject still “becupying a large share of attention in administration c* .ndea, y All the Senators who visited the White House today declined to tvh&t trend the discussion had tak(>n of wheth er the qualifications of either of ; tha two attorneys selected had lieeiyquestioned.
