A Neglected Opportunity.

This weeks issue of The Manufac-
turer's Record devotes one of its lead
ing articles to the subject of wood
working in South Carolina. 1t takes
as the basis for the facts which it
presents the bulletin prepared by
Stanley L. Wolfe, of the National
Forest Service, and published by the
State department of agriculture, COM
merce and industries, to which we
have already called attention. 1t per-
tinently observes that 'the fact that
415,O0O,O0O feet of the 100000
feet of lumber cut in the State go
outside the State for further hand
ling indicates the neglect of wealth.
producing opportunities in this field,
even though the census of 1910
showed that lumber and timber pro-
ducts rank second to cotton goods,
which lead among the industrial
outputs of South Carolina
This is undoubtedly true. Just as
the cotton mills have discovered that
it pays better to manufacture line
goods rather than coarse so it is well
that the people of the South should
learn that it is to their interest to
work up their lumber resources into
finished products rather than sell
them as rough material. To do this
would result, as The Manufacturers
Record points out, in the employ
ment of hundreds of thousands OF
men in manufacturing and would al
so widen the home markets for pro-
ducers in agriculture. 1t would do
more than that. 1t would double,
treble, quadruple the South's income
from these particular sources.
For example, a considerable part
of the door and window screens
which are sold in this section are
manufactured in one of the norther-
most of the New England States.
Much of the lumber which is used
in their manufacture is shipped from
Charleston. The freight charges on
this lumber from Charleston to the
mandatory and on the screens
from the manufactory back to the
South amount to much more than the
original cost of the lumber. Yet
the screens are sold at a, good pro-
fit and do not lack for purchasers.
Can anyone explain why products
Of this sort should not be made right
here at home?-News and Courier.

NEWS STIRS MEXICO CITY.
Huerta, However, Says He Expected
Such Tidings.

Mexico City, February 2O.-The
execution of William Benton, a
British subject, by the constitution
alists in Juarez, has revived the
fear among government supporters
that the United States will be forced
by Great Britain to take some action
that easily might become interven-
ton.
Although since revolutionary con-
ditions assumed serious proportions
three years ago there have been kill
ed in various parts of the country
some $50 Americans, including par
ticipants on both sides in the revo-
luton, there is on record the deaths
of only four Britishers, including
Benton.
The three others we're killed in dis
tricts where the chiefs of neither fac
ton had direct authority.
Benton's is the first case where it
appears that culpability may be plac-
ed definitely.
Sir Lionel Garden, the British min
lister, has received no advices con-
corning the execution of Benton and
does not expect any, except incl
dentally, since in his opinion the
case does not concern the govern
ment to which he is accredited. Con-
sular advices of the shooting to
death of Benton were received to-day
at the foreign office, where the news
aroused an attitude of expectancy.
That the constitutionalists had ex-
ecuted a foreigner did not surprise
President Huerta, who has insisted
that Gen. Francisco Villa belonged to
the irresponsible type of leader and
sooner or later was certain to bring
about serious complications with
some foreign complications with
some foreign power

STORM OF PROTEST.
Ell Paso Citizens Adopt Resolutions
Addressed to the World.

Ell Pasco, Texas, February 20.-A
storm of Indignation broke to-day
along the border when it became
known that William S. Benton, a
British subject and wealthy land
owner in Mexico, had been executed
by rebels in Juarez after he had
made a protest to Gen. Francisco
Villa about alleged depredations OF
the constitutionalists.
A mass meeting was held tonight
and resolutions were adopted censur-
ing the State department at Wash
ington for it's alleged suppression OF
the consular report of the Benton
case and calling on congress to de-
mand from the department of State
a full record of alleged crimes and
outrages against foreigners in Mexi-
CO.
The meeting came as the climax
of day of excitement caused by
news of the death of Benton. The
meeting was first called for Cleve-
land square, but Mayor Kelly, in a
letter to George Curry, former gov
ernor of New Mexico, asked him to
rent a hall, as he regarded an open
meeting as dangerous. The mayor
said he would suppress any attempt
to hold the meeting in the open. A
theatre was rented and messengers
turned the crowd from Cleveland

FAMOUS UNIVERSITY ALSO GIVES WELCOME TO LOU
 VAIN STUDENTS.

CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 17.-Cardinal Mercier has appointed professors from the University of Louvain to ar range for four courses of the faculties of theology, law, science and philoso- phy at Cambridge and the proposal that the destroyed university shall transfer it's work here for the time be- ing is taking practical shape.
 Students at Cambridge have started a shilling fund for the assistance of Belgian students and weekly contri- buttons will be made on behalf of the Louvain students, several hundred of whom will doubtless begin their work at Cambridge in a short time.
 Cambridge has much more the ap- pearance of a garrison town than an educational center. Students have military drill instead of games for re- creation. Instead of rowing and foot ball, drillmasters of the officers train ing corps put the students through three hours of rigorous military train ing every day and military lectures are held at night.
 At the military hospital medical professors and demonstrators care for hundreds of wounded soldiers quart cred here. Both Belgians and British wounded are sent to Cambridge. 9th CT Cambridge men are running a hos pital ship at sea and two thousand commissions in all have been granted Cambridge graduates and ex-students who are now at the front.

.SWEDE PRESS
 GETS ANGRY
DECLARES SWEDEN IS NOT SUP PLYING GERMANY WITH
 NECESSARIES.

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1S.-Public suspicion in England that the Scandi- navian countries are supplying Ger many on large scale with such com modities as wool, petrol and grain, has aroused the most energetic protests in the Swedish press. The suspicion is wholly unfounded Since the beginning of the war and the declaration of Swedish neutrality, the exportation of these commodities has been prohibited by the Swedish government. The or der has been rigidly enforced.
 Regarding the increase in Swedish imports of corn, which the London Times quotes as one basis of the sus- picion that Sweden is sending corn to Germany, it is explained here that this increased importation is due simply to the fact that Sweden's harvest of common fodder this year has been very poor. The corn is, to a great ex- tent, given to pigs. Thus the Swedish papers point out that the Swedish and Danish export of pork and ham to England depends largely upon the supply of corn, which is a reason Eng land should look upon this import with sympathy,
 When the war broke out Sweden was short 60 per cent of her usual pc troleum supply, and Denmark in a still worse plight, which accounts for the present importations. Having the op- portunity to import Sweden is deter mined to cover her own requirements, for there is constant fear that traffic may be stopped at any time.
 England's prohibition of the export of wool and some specified wOOlen manufactures will cause some incon- venience to Swedish factories. The need of the British action is not well understood here, since Sweden, a long time ago, had stopped the exportatiOn of any woolen articles to Germany.
 A result of this restriction, it is said, will be that Swedish manufact- urors will buy their wool directly from the Argentine and in future pass by the British merchants. Preparations are already being made towards es- tablishing such direct importations.
 G. Aargaard, secretary of the Nor wegian Chamber of Commerce in Lon don, declares that charges against Norway in connection with alleged ex- ports to Germany, are absolutely in- correct" He presents the following figures:
 "The total imports into Norway of grain of all kinds in the first ten months of 1913 were 84O,O82 tons. The
