WILL AID BANKS.
TREASURY WILL HELP THEM
UNDER NEW PLAN.
McAdOO Says Those Which Are Re-
strictins Credits are Making a Mis-
take.

Washington. Nov. 2S.-Secretary
McAdoo tonight issued a statement
declaring that banks throughout the
country reported to be restricting
credlts IN order to meet the provisions
of the expected currency law are max
ing mistake. He announced that
the resources of the treasury will be
at the disposal of the banks to aid
them in complying with the new law
when it is put on the statute books.
The statement in part said
"The secretary expressed the con-
viction that the new law will impose
no hardships on the banks and that
the transfer of capital and reserves
to the proposed federal reserve banks
will be accomplished with little or no
inconvenience to the banks and to
general business.
THE secretary said that the treas
ury department had large available
resources at its command; that he
should not hesitate to use them for
the purpose Of aiding the banks to
comply with the new law and that
in his opinion, the banks could, with
perfect safety, proceed with the
granting of accommodations to their
customers in the normal and usual
way.
THE secretary said that he did not
of course, assume to advise banks
he Only wanted them and the business
public to know thai there is nC

to be helpful and that he thought il
could be effectively helpful. He saiC
that if any banks are laboring under
the impression that the new law viii

error, as no such thing will result.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 27.-Literally
smothering the Clemson defense be-
meath a puzzling mass of trick plays,
Georgia Tech today won the annual
battle here from it's traditional rivals
from South Carolina by a score of "a

From the opening scrimmage the
ultimate result was indicated. The
Clemson forwards, although possessed
of a slight advantage in weight, ap-
parently were unable to solve the
Yellowjackets' plays quickly enough
to break them up, and time after time
the Tech backs were able to circle
the ends for long gains or to sue
cessfully execute intricaGe trick for

by Tech, goals being kicked from
four of them. The weather was un-

The Sumter Shrine Club has every
reason to feel proud of the great sue
cess of the 1913 fall pilgrimage of the
Mobiles of Omar Temple, and if there
were a record of every visiting Shrin-
er who expressed himself in compli-
mentary terms of his Sumter broth
ers, they would in measure feel
compensated for the time, trouble,
and expense incident to their hos
pitable reception Of the visitors.
Thursday, November 27th, was
red letter day" in the history of
Sumter. The events of the day and
the community interest manifested
are worth a lot to Sumter. The COM
ing of the Shriners has showed that
the Sumter people are always ready
to cooperate with each other for the
common good and to keep alive in the
Game Cock City the spirit of hospi-
tality and good fellowship for which
it has always been noted.
During the day hundreds of Shriners
had gathered time after time in the
Rowland building, where the free
lunch was being served, and partook
of the refreshments which had been
prepared for them by the sumter
Shrine Club. Probably several thous-
and Of persons ate here during the
day. BESIDES this the other social
club rooms were open to the visitors
and there rest and other refresh

Great Agricultural Awakening IN
This Section.

Washington, Nov. 27.-According
to Dr.. Wallace Buttrick, secretary
of the general education board en-
dowed by John ID. Rockefeller, the
fame of DR.. Seaman a. Knapp for
agricultural work and labors will
never die.
The late DR.. Knapp, who began
farm demonstration work, is entitled
to all the credit for starting a move
ment that 1T is believed, will DO moro
to make the South prosperous than
any other movement ever known"
said DR.. Butterick today. 1T was he
who conceived the idea Of taking the
improved modern methods of farm

blades of grass grow where one was
grown before. He started his dem
onstration plan in the Southern States,
and it grew and grew, until now the
| federal government is spending $780,
600 a year in this work, where, in the
| beginning, the amount expended was
little more than $4,000. The gen.
eral education board is helping the
government and the States in this
work, and is contributing in the
neighbOrhood OF 100000.
The plan is to invite several farm
ers / section to witness the meth
DDS Of the government experts, and
to have them, with their own eyes
see the wonderful results that fol.
low. The outcome has been that al
through the South the farmers have
increased their products. They usct
to raise cotton and buy their foot
products. We have bccn teach:n:
them that they can raise cotton ant
also their own corn. In many Of the
Southern States the corn crop thi.
year was larger than ever in theil
history.
Corn clubs of boys and canning

On every side the visitors express
ed their appreciation Of the hearty
manner in which they had been re.

that the session was the most success

of attendance it exceeded what had

One Of the county papers last week
called attention to the fact that
something should be done relative
to the matter of Emmons county
being represented at the Industrial
Exposition at Bismarck this fall. In
that particular the Record acquies.
ces. The reason that Emmons was
not represented last year lies pri-
marily in the fact that the year be-
fore had brought up number of
grievances in the way Of unfair treat
ment and of mismanagement from
certain sources. The same resulted
in a local county fair being fostered
by those who had done most Of the
work in securing an exhibit the
year before for the lndsutrial Ex-
position However. the Record be-
lieves that it would be well to be
represented ut Bismarck this year.
The relative amount of value to be
derived by this county from such an
exhibit at an exposition depends
largely upon the success of the ex-
position itself. However, the Rec
ord believes that well-managed
county fair is also of untold value to
our farmers. both in an instructive
way and as means of stimulating
interest among those who must be
primarily responsible for the pros.
perity OF the county. Our sugges-
ton is that the entire people of the
county get together and boost for a
centrally-located county fair. one
that can be reached easily from all
parts Ct the county. and that this
fair should be held ut such time as
to make it possible to transfer the
cream of the exhibition to Bismarck
to do service there as an exhibit
from this county. 1t is our belief
that such AZ course would produce
+ the very best in the way o t an exhib-
it at the exposition. 1t is folly to
harp on county sectionalism as the
aforesaid paper is inclined to do.
What is good for one section of the
county is good for the other. The
provisions for an exhibit Mt any fair
is not a sectional matter. 1t is nee.
essary that some certain individuals
with the required amount of time,
ability and inclination shall do the
work Of preparing exhibits and
there is plenty of work to it, too.
The people Of this part of the
county do not care whether such
persons are to be found here. at Haz.
elton or at any other point in the
county. The danger of failure lies
in the fact that individuals in both
parts of the county bob up now and
then, who. under cover of the cry of
loyalty to their section, SOW seeds
,sof discard which hurt the entire
county.

Elsewhere in this issue appears a
local to the effect that an Emmons
county farmer was in town one day
recently to meet some harvest hands
from South Dakota who were look
ing for work, there being no crop in
the locality from which they came.
This brings forcibly to our minds
that Emmors county is one of the
fortunate sections of the Northwest
this year in the matter of crop-con-
ditions. True enough, there are
fields of grain in Emmons county
that are poor. lamentably poor.
Some of them are isolated areas that
did not secure rainfall at the proper
times. Others are simply the result
of poor farming. One can drive
north from Linton for twenty miles
and fields can be seen within a few
I ods of each other that will vary al.
most double in producing qualities.
Poor farming is at fault in the case
of the lesser yield. In the older
farming communities the poorest
farmer puts in as much or more
work and care on his growing crop
than does the best farmer in this
newer region. Nevertheless. EN-.
mons county as whole will reap a
good harvest this year and it is one
of the few localities in the North
west that will be able to say as much.
