MILLION AND A HALF
OF CROP MOVING MONEY SENT
TO THIS STATE.
Charleston Gets $5OO,O00, Columbia
100000, While Spartanburg and
Greenville Each Get 100000.

While the treasury department
would give out no information re-
garding the crop moving money go
ing to different South Carolina banks,
The Columbia States Washington
correspondent was able to ascertain
Monday that Charleston will get
100000 and the share OF that city
will be divided among the following
banks: Peoples National bank,
SITS, 900; Bank Of Charleston, s175,-
900, and the First National, $780,
900
Columbia, it is learned, will get
about 100000, and as far as could
be ascertained this amount will be d.
vided between the three following
banks: Carolina National, National
Loan and Exchange and the Palmetto
National
Greenville and Spartanburg, it was
also learned, will each receive $780,
900 and this fund by agreement will
be equally distributed among all the
national banks Of those two places
which want it.
When the treasury department Of
fcials were asked by the States cor
respondent if these amounts were
correct, it was stated that for the
present it was not desired that any
figures be printed and therefore
nothing Of confrmatory nature so far
as the officials named are concerned,
could be had, but the information
here given was secured from those
on the inside and is believed to be
approximately correct, except that
the total amount going to Columbia
may be slightly more than here given.
II is considered that 100000 for
Greenville and Spartanburg is good
sized amount whent 1T Is considered
that Charleston gets only s500,000
but the two first named places were
placed prominently before Secretary
McAdoo.
This information is believed to be
as nearly correct as it is possible to
secure it at this time, but not being
secured from official sources 1t is
given subject to changes by the treas
ury department hereafter.

A LIFE HEROIC.

I life the man who faces what he
must
With step triumphant and a heart
of cheer;
Who fights the daily battle with
out fear;
Sees his hopes fail, yet unfaltering
trust
That God is God-that, somehow,
true and just
His plans work out for mortals;
not tear
Is shed when fortune, which the
world holds dear,
Falls from his grasp-better, with
love, a crust
Than living in dishonor; enViea
Nor loses faith in nan; but does his
best,
Nor even murmurs at his humber
lot;
But with a smile and words OF hope,
gives zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
Who by a life heroic conquers
fate.

Somewhere she waits to make you

Your soul in her firm white

Somewhere the gosd have made for

The woman who understands.
AS the tide went out she found him
Lashed to a spar Of despair
The wreck of his ship around him,
The wreck of his dreams In the
Found him, and loved him, and gath
cred
The soul Of him to her heart;
The soul that had sailed an unchert-
The soul that had thought to win
and be free
The soul of which she was part;
And there in the dust she cried to
the man:
"Vin your battle-you can-you
can"
Helping and loving and guiding
Urging when that was best
Holding her fears in hiding
Deep In her quiet breast
This is the woman who kept him
True to his standard lost,
When tossed in the storm and stress

And ready to pay the cost,

"Win-you can-and I know you

This is the story Of ages
This is the woman's way
Wiser than seers or sages,
Lifting US day by day
Facing all things with courage
Nothing can daunt or dim;
Treading life's path wherever 1t

But ever with him-with him.

AGAINST PROTECTION
SMITH MAKES STRONG SPEECH
on THE TARIFF
Inconsequent Nature Of Republican
Argument for Protection ENplod-
ed by Carolina Senator.

| ed by Carolina Senator.
| > special dispatch to the State
from its Washington correspondent
says that Senator E. D. Smith o1
South Carolina Monday made what
was pronounced by many senators tc
be one of the strongest tariff speeches
that has been delivered during this
session Of Congress. The cottor
schedule was under consideration
and Senator Smith made plea fol
the American laborer against the i'm.
migrant laborer.
He took up the claim Of the manu-
facturers OF New England that they
need protection for the benefit Of the
American laborer, and showed by the
reports Of the immigration commis-
sion that IS per cent. Of the employ
ees IN New England cotton mills are
foreign born, while 20 per cent. are
native born Of foreign parents and
only "a per cent. are native born o.
native parents. His argument wes
that the manufacturers, after gettin.
high tariff duties under the guise ol
benefiting American labor. had i'm.
ported cheap immigrant labor and
had supplanted American labor.
He also undertook to show that
there had been great decrease in
the cost of production, by reason OF
improved machinery, but the wages
Of the operatives had not increased
in proportion. He denounced the
plea for protection for the benefit OF
American labor as a delusion and a
snare, not warranted by any facts
and went on to show that, o. course
the wages paid the native cotton mil
labor in the South was LARGELY gov.
cred by the wages paid the cheap I'm.
migrant labor in the mills Of New
England.
Senator Smiths speech attracted
much attention as he used line OF
argument that had not been heard
before during this session.
His argument was made more for,
chile by reason of the fact that the
report of the immigration commits
sion, from which he quoted. was
made by two Republican Senators
from New England, Senator Lodge OF
Massachusetts and Senator Dilling'
ham of Vermont He was interrupted
by Senators Smoot of Utah, GalliDg Dge1
of New Hampshire. Lippitt Of RhodH
Island. and others, but they were
not able to shake the force Of his ar
guments. He was warmly congcstu'
lated by Senators on both sides OF
the chamber on having advanced
some new and telling arguments on
the tariff question as it applies tc
American labor.

Once in the dear dead days beyond

Out OF the dreams that rose in hap

Low to our hearts Love sung an old

And in the dust where fell the fire.

Just a song at twilight, when the

And the fick'ring shadows softly

Tho the heart be weary, sad the day

Still to US at twilight comes Loves

Comes Loves old sweet song.
Even today we hear Loves song OF

Footsteps may falter, weary grow

made his escape. Both Taylor
and Douglass were Young when
the killing occurred, hardly out
