very plainly broadening tendencies. and,
in fact. an unusually wide dversifcation

little comment upon 1t. and few questions
were asked with regard to the reasons for
the animation in one stock or another.
and in fact, there appeared to be none

reasons. yet advances ranging from frac-

Increase In Activity.

There was naturally considerable In
crease In activity i'm connection with the
tendencies of the market referred to, and
while. of course, there were occasiOsal re-
cessions from the highest level establish
ed, the undertone of the market was all
the time exceedingly firm. Presumab bly,
feelings of reinsurance with regard to the
outcome of the presidential campaign had
something to do With the force OF prices.
hut IL such were the case the notions to
this effect did not play any great part In
the days discussion.
The commodity markets, with the ex-
ception of cotton, were reactionary, but
that was only natural sequence from
yesterdays notable rise in grain Money
market conditions were not essentially
changed. nor were any other of the
fundamental features of the situation at
large.
With the course Of the day a number OF
stocks attained the highest figures al
which they have sold this year. and such
an important issue as United States Stee
preferred rose. I'm fact. close to the high
est level at which 1t has ever held. United
States Steel common was likewise not
ably strong and active. and there was no
question but that the course of these
securities might be designated as one OF
the very most influential factors in the
market at large. Yet there was obviously
little of novelty to be named in connection
with the noteworthy strength of all the
steel issues.
Copper Stocks Strong.
TIE copper stocks were also very strong.
and a further rise took PLACE in the price
Of the metal. The most authoritative re-
ports continue to the effect that the i'm
provement in the copper trade is almost
daily becoming more emphasized.
Other strong stocks in the same quar-
ter of the market were National Lead,
American Smelling. American Locomo-
tive and Colorado Fuel and Iron. Apart
from the anthracite coal shares the rail-
way list showed a long lire of substan-
tial advances, including Pennsylvania,
Chicago and Northwestern. St. Paul,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
preferred; Union Pacific and the southern
railway shares.
Aside. however. from the buying dis
position. which has for the time being
seized upon the speculative community.
there was little to be adduced in connec-
tion even with the striking dealings in
the stocks named.
The lower quotation for American stocks
forwarded from London were not fol-
lowed up by extensive sales for foreign
account. and in fact the arbitrage houses
we're buyers on balance in the local mar
ket.

promoter who wanted an Office boy.
He advertised and received 100 re-
plies. Out of the hundred he select
e,.e ten whom he interviewed. his
choice falling upon an apparently
bright young5ter to whom he said:

Late that same afternoon the pro-

the candidate.

you got your character?"

A man better equipped for the
Office of United States Senator than
r. Goodwin Rhett, Of Charleston,
could not be easily found. Trained
to the practice Of the law and sue
cessful IN his profession, his natural
tendencies have led him into con-
structive business, and his engage
ment in public affairs has followed
as. q consequence. of commercial and
industrial efforts, and not from poll
tical interests. He is not a politi-
clan at all, as the term is usually
understood. He is a business man,
intensely interested in the material
development of the State, who has
thought deeply upon the ways where
by the public may be promoted
through practical legislation.
Born in Columbia, educated in the
schools of Charleston and at the
University of Virginia, Mr.. Rhett be-
gan the practice Of the law IN
Charleston. He met with success
from the first. Particularly atten-
tive to commercial law, he soon be-
came interested in business enter
prise and development. The reha-
bilitation of an impaired bank hav-
ing come into his field Of effort, he
devoted himself to the task with
marked ability and eminent success,
and from this essay he was led into
banking as profession. He became

than ten years, directed It's aTalrs

not only profitably to the Institution
but in the largest measure to the
benefit of his community and of the
entire State.
Elected an Alderman of the City
of Charleston, he soon became re-
cognizd as an expert of business
methods in government and an ad-
vocate of commercial development.
He was called to the mayoralty prac-
tically by the unanimous voice of the
business men of Charleston, and, at
the conclusion of his four-year term,
was reelected without opposition.
He has devoted himself to the promo
ton of better relations between the
people of Charleston and their
neighbors in all parts of South Caro-
lima. and has endeavored in every
way to make mutual the advantages
and the resources Of the great port
and the great interior region OF the
State. No enterprise and no develop
ment promising benefit to the whole
people of the State has failed to
command his sympathy and support.
His fight for rates and efficient SER
vice by the railroads has been one OF
the most notable and effective under
takings ever made in South Carolina.

the State in a wider sphere. and he
has definite ideas Of the service he
can render. and these he is setting
