THE PRESIDENT MAY COME.
Mr.. Wilson Invited to Attend State
Fair--Others Also.

Washington, Sept. lot is en-
tirely likely that President Wilson
will be a visitor at the coming State
Fair in Columbia
To-day Senator Smith and Col. F..
J. Watson called at the White House
to invite the President to visit the
fair and to make an address while
there. While no definite assurance
was given to the South Carolinians
that the invitation would be accept
ed, there is reason 10 believe that
this will be the case. As the fair
will be held during the latter part Of
October, it will fit in eXcellently with
plans which the President has for
visiting Mobile about that time
1t is now planned to make the trip
to Mobile for the purpose of attend
ing the Southern Commercial Con-
gress about October 27th.
The Presidents train would have
to pass Through Charlotte and a
quick run could be made from Char
lOtte to Columbia and the main line
of the Southern could then be again
reached by touching it at Spartan
burg, and thus very few hours would
be consumed in going to Columbia.
every satisfactory"
Just before Col. Watson left for
Columbia tonight he said to The
States corresposdent:
I'VE had most satisfactory inter
view with the President and explain
ed to him what kind Of entertain
ment and reception we propose to
give him. 1t will be the greatest
thing Of the kind since the days of
George Washington. We had with
us the State Geologist of North Car
olina, who is heartily in favor Of the
President visiting Columbia, and
that means that Secretary Daniels
will also probably use his influence
we will succeed.
After leaving the White House
saw Secretary Houston, and he said
that while he could not visit the fair
he would spend two weeks in Co
lumbia in November. He will visit
Columbia, Spartanburg and other
places with me, looking into agricul-
tural conditions generally.
After this | held a conference
with John Hall, of Philadelphia, the
inventor Of the process Of maturing
frostbitten and poorly matured cot
ton bolls, and he will be in Columbia
in about two weeks.
John Barrett, of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union, and DR.. c. J. Owens, of
the Southern Commercial Congress,
will be in Columbia on September 1S,
and | have made all arrangements is
with them for their presence in South
Carolina. They will explain the ben
ehts of the Panama Canal and will
urge the importance Of good at
tendance upon the meeting OF the
Commercial Congress to be held at
Mobile next month.
i mad busy and satisfactory
day. said Col. Watson, just as he
swung aboard a train for home. II
am to write the President further
regarding the proposed trip to CO.
lumbia and to give him certain de-
tails which | could not furnish to-
day, and you may say for me that I
feel confident we will get him. The
outlook is very promising"

L0NDoN's TRAMwAYs KILLINGS

Why should more people be killed by
tramway cars on Saturdays and Tues
days than on other days of the week :?
Thet these are most particularly the
days of tramway car fatalities is the
experience of the West Ham tram
ways, the manager of which says:
Having collected information con-
cerning all the accidents which have
occurred on this tramway system dur
ing the last nine years, | find that
the worst days for accidents of all
kinds were Saturdays and Sundays,
with Mondays next. But it happens
that the fatalities of the nine years
show that most took place on sat
urdays, with Tuesday as the next
worst day. while we have never had
fatal accident on Monday.
The majority of accidents take place
between 4 p. m. and 9 p. m. don't
think, broadly speaking that it is a
question of the sobriety of the public,
for "a special providence protects
drunkards," as we all know. We have
only had two cases of persons being
killed while intoxicated. But at week
ends and in the evenings there are
naturally more people about in the
streets.
''Most of the fatal accidents" added
Mr.. Blain, ''have been to children un-
der 10 or people over 70. 1t is no.
ticeable than tramway accidents are
diminishing, while omnibus accidents

WHAT WE KNOW" ABOUT WAR

To train men to handle war as skill
fully as possible, to save life in camps
and barracks by sanitary measures,
to make officers and pfivates efficient
and alert are among the essential du-
ties of military staff. No sane
peace advocate will take exception to
such a military policy to preserve
peace as General Wood urged the
ether day at Pittsburg.
But when he said that 1--WE know
that war is coming" he challenged ev
cry advocate of peace who denies
tha; he "kpows" anything of the kind.
War Is coming where, when, and to
whom? All the military experts in
Europe were sure that the Balkan
question could not be settled with
out general war. Well, that war
has rot come. Europe found that it
could not afford it, and managed to
restrain itself. The little nations drove
the Turk out of Europe, and now the
concert is forcing them to keep the
peace pmong themselves.

EUROPE FIGHTING WHITE
SLAVE PROBLEM

LONDON, July 3.-The protection
of young girls while away from home,
the necessity for closer government
supervision of the Poste Rostante
counters in connection with CORE
spondence intended for girls, and the
relation of such professions as bar
maids and tea shop mattresses with
the white slave traffic, were among
the subjects discussed today by dele
gatcs to the International White Slave
congress which met at Caxton hall
under the presidency of the bishop of
London. The American delegates had
the right of choosing a chairman
for the morning session.

calling upon the French government
to convene a third International of

the result of the working of the in
ternational agreement in Europe and
other parts of the world for the sup
preston of the white slave traffic,
and to ascertain to what extent the
agreement has succeeded in suppress
ing the traffic, supplying statistics of
the number of traffckers prosecuted
since the agreement has been in force.

EMOTIONALISM.

The new administration of Denver
is graphing with a deficit in the
funds of city and county estimated at
S350,000.
At the state house the administers
tion is giving notice to public insti-
tutions that only third of the
amount appropriated for those in the
second class can be paid this year.
(Of course, the "first-class" appro-
priations, which refer to salaries of
officers and employees of executive de-
partments, are not touched, whatever
happens the ofticeholder must have
his salary.)
y Under decision rendered on Friday
by the state supreme court the land
board, as provided in constitutional
amendment that went into effect a
couple of years back, will have to drop
out as such and one member will be
retained instead of three. This very
important department is without funds
to carry forward the work as planned
by those who insisted upon reform
ing the department.
The state treasury is in most un-
satisfactory condition and educstiona
institutions will have to economiez to
the bone. Their efficiency, unfortu-
nately, will not be improved by the
demands for economy in order that
some of them may not have to close
their doors altogether

Roads and Means Suggested For
Rsmsdying Country Wide Evil.
The question of dust on the roads at
this season Of the year is a trouble
some one, and on the solution OF this
problem and its study the office of pub
lie roads, Washington, recently made
an interesting report Concerning the
means of overcoming the dust evil the
report says:
1.-The dust problem as 1t stands to-
day seems to be open to two methods
Of attack-frst. by applying materials
to the road which will hold down the
dust formed and. second. by methods
Of construction designed to reduce the
formation of dust and therefore the
wear Of the road to a minimum. Dust
prevention has SO far been mainly con-
hned to the treatment of old macadam
surfaces, and many preparations have
appeared on the market during the last
few years for which great claims have
been made.
There are also two general methods
of preventing dust on finished surfaces
on the road and. second. reducing Its
formation to a minimum. With this
classification in mind, corresponding
division of dust preventives may be
made and the different materials may
be ciassed as temporary binders and
permanent binders. 1t will be found
that this classification readily lends it.

tive merits of the different materials
when considered in regard to their ap-

kinds of roads as well as to various
conditions of traffic and climate. The
essential requisite for any dust pre-
ventive is its binding power, or. in 9th
er words. its power of holding together

face Of the road In order to keep
down the dust the temporary binders
