Trade With China.
An Illuminating address on the pos
sibilities OF expanding Americas trade

With China was delivered here by Dr.
Gilbert Reid. the founder OF the In-
terntlonal Institute in the TIowery
Kingdom Dr. Reid speaks on trade
conditions 80 .Ae OT!cE- with author
lty. and his view OF the future for
America Is optimistic. The purpose
OF the institute. by the way, is to
bring into realization the Confucian
maxim. Amongst men OF culture
there Is no division OF race" and the
last ten years have brought about
definite progress to the purposes of
the work. which Is regarded as la
foundation for commercial expansion.
II IL significant that DIR. Reid points
TO the Panama capal as one OF the
most potent mediums for the greater
development OF trade between Amer
lea and China. for this means use
OF Charleston "a a port OF dlstribu-
ton for American commodities con-
signed 10 the East. especially cotton
piece goods. which are In great de-
mand among the Chinese. Recent
events have called Charleston sharply
To the fore as port for the distribu-
tion OF cotton piece goods. and a re-
duction OF the rates from the mills
10 the sea brings Charleston's coming
supremacy In commerce closer TO
view.
Dr. Reid emphasizes the need of
straightfOrward. honest business
methods In building up trade rela-
tions with China. and his warning
that first China must be helped to
develop her natural resources, move
her exports. and raise her standard
OF civilization. before the dollar is
thrust too prominently forward,
should not fall upon deaf ears. 1t
Ii short-sighted policy which would
hope for a flow Of Chinese gold in
90 America in substantial volume be-
fore the Chinaman is groomed for
the harvest. And so the pioneer
who would blaze path for the ex-
change of American commodities on
a vast scale for tho coin OF China
must perforce advance carefully else
he Will put back rather than develop
trade relations with the ancient ma
ton. II would bc we'll for Charles.
ton 90 bear in mind constantly tn,
promise that China holds out fol
business benefits through the com
pletcd Panama Canal. not forgetting
the necessity for a broad guaged

This Is 1911 and Sumter needs a
modern hotel worse than II did a
year ago. IL Is about a year since
that a committee OF the Chamber OF
Commerce was appointed with plenary
powers to look into the hotel situation
aid do something to supply sumter's
greatest need. We presume the COM
mittee Is still looking. for nothing has
been done. IN the meanwhile one
OF Sumter's ancient inns for the ac-
commodation OF the wayfarers who
let night catch them in town has
been removed from It's sphere of use
fniness by fire. This left an aching
void that II was hoped the hotel COM
mittee would hasten to fill. But II
was q vain hope-the committee Is
still gum-shoeins around so quietly
and unobtrusively that there has been
not the least little ripple of interest
OF excitement over the hotel situation
In long. long while. saving Of course.
the involuntary profanity OF the be-
lated travelling men who arrive in
town and find the standing room
only sign displayed at the hotel. The
travelling men are excited and also
interested In sumter's hotel problem
under those circumstances. but they
hasten on their way as soon as pos
sible. and their interest and excite
mest dc $ nothing to relieve the situ-
alton. We trust the committee will
get through looking before 1911 is
numbered with the years that are
dead.

to which attention is called in the
report from that division. The chang
es suggested have been proven by ex-
perience to be absolutely necessary.
and, as they involve no cost to the
State, but an immense benefit to the
people, the enactment Of such amend
ments is most vigorously urged.
THAT it is absolutely necessary. in
order to properly protect and safe
guard valuable State records in the
possession Of this department. which
now charged with the conserva-
ton Of nearly all the human resources
Of the State, as well as the material
resources, that some provision be
made for proper quarters, thus obviat-
ing the changes each year. How this
need shall be met is a matter for the
general assembly to consider and not
for this department to suggest.
Child Labor.
THAT this department heartily en-
dorses and urges the enactment Of the
proposed amendments to the child la
Dor law of the State that will be pre-
sented by the State child Iabo~ COM
mittee. This is the same bill this de-
partment urged last year, and which
received favorable report, but too late
for enactment, and has since been en-
dorsed by the South Carolina cotton
manufacturers, with the exception Of
l6-year-old provision as to night la
Dor. The bill last year read IA years
of age. This 16-year Old provision can
do no harm to anybody and this de-
pratmert is Of the opinion that such a
provision he included.
THAT a law should be enacted regu-
lating weights and measures in South
Carolina along the lines suggested by
this report with the reasons for such
suggestions being stated.
THAT similar law to that re-
curing the filing Of report of to-
bacco purchases and sales with the
commissioners of agriculture be enact
ed requiring all ginners and cotton
buyers to report monthly, pounds and
bales Of cotton ginned in the first in
stances, and the number of bales of
cotton, grade and prices paid in the
second instance. Texas has this law
and it is Of great value.
Seats Of Clerks.
"Tha- in order that the act in re
ference to seats for female imployes
in stores may be enforced, the COM
missioner should be given to the right
from time to time, to appoint female
inspectors, whose duty it shall be to
gather evidence in such cases. In no
other way can this act be enforced.
With regard to the State exhibit

mend. that this property be again
