SENATOR SMITH ON
COTTON SITUATION
Says Government Should Try to Get
Vessels to Carry Staple.

Columbia, Nov. Ex-senator Smith,
of South Carolina, in an interview
here, discussed the cotton situation as
regards to foreign trade. He said that
in view of the fact that England, as
we'll as the other countries at war,
have declared cotton to be non-contra-
band, 1T seems that the situation
would be greatly relieved If the Ameri-
can Government would use every
means within its power to obtain ves-
sells for transporting cotton to the
different countries
Senator Smith announced that he
had received several letters from for
cign correspondents bearing on the
cotton situation. The correspondents
from Germany stated that, in spite of
the war, Germany would probably
consume as much American cotton as
ever, if not more, if the supply could
be obtained. The Russian correspond
cnt indicates that were transportation
facilities obtainablc, Russia also would
use ncf usual QuOla Ol AlllcllCui Col-
ton.
81 intend to use these letters said
Senator Smith, before the proper au-
thoritics in Washington, in order to
expedite the perfection OF transporta-
ton facilities.
~ rather significant statement in
the letter from Germany is the one
to the effect that one OF the causes Of
restricted purchases Of cotton here
was the American exporters refusing
to accept purchases on GO and 90 days,
as heretofore, but this is also modified
by tho statement in the same para
graph to the effect that ample funds
are available if the cotton could be
gotten at all. certainly hope that,
with persistent and properly directed
effort, the sale and consumption Of
our cotton will not be SO greatly re-
strictcd as apcpars would be the
case"
In the course Of his address to the
farmers at sumter Tuesday Commits
sioner T.. j. Watson quoted some sta
tistics about tho cost of living, which

The following figures are the esti-
mated consumption per month by the
average family in Columbia:

Butter-eight pounds at 81 1-2 cents.
Condensed Milk--twelve cans at
$1.25 per dozen.
Hog Products--bacon, IL to 10
pounds at Is cents; ham, 40 pounds at
% cents; strips, 10 pounds at 81 cents.
The volume OF business done in
grain is also astonishing. a reliable
commission merchant reports that
last year there were 10000 bushels
of oats shipped into the city, average

Of mixed feed, supplomcnting the oats.
Corn, 625,O0O bushels at an average
of 90. cents.
Wheat, G25,o00 bushels represented
in 125,000 barrels Of flour at $50 to

The city Of Columbia uses annually
about 10000 barrels Of apples and
many thousands OF dollars are spent
for pickles and picked vegetables,
which could have been put up at home.

JAMES PLAN Is FAVORED
Military Men Like Idea of Illinois
University President.

BY United Press.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 3O.-
The suggestion made in an open let
ter addressed to President Wilson by
Edmund j. James, president of the
University of Illinois, that a corps of
reserve officers should be developed
at the universities and colleges has
met with approval by members of the
general staff and officers in the war
college.
With this same idea IN view, Maj
Gen. Leonard Wood, former chief of
staff, established the students sum-
mer military camps which have al
ready accomplished some preliminary
work along this line.
The plans of the war college for the
raising of an army of a million men
require between $4,000 and $4,000 Of
ficers. OF this number the regular
army at its present strength could
not provide over 5000.
Instead of offering bonus to stu
dents who would take extra work in
military tactics plan by which stu
dents could be given a temporary COM
mission in the regular army as Sec
ond lieutenants is favored by the
members of the general staff.
During the time that student was
serving as second lieutenant in the
Amy he would draw the pay and al
loWance of a regular army officer. At
the conclusion of his service he could
be given a commission in a volunteer
army when one should be called into
existence on account of war.
These commissions as provisional
lieutenants could be apportioned
among the colleges which maintain
corps of cadets, as do the state uni
versities of Illinois and Ohio or any
other of the colleges that come under
the regulations of the war department.

BUSINESS is GOOD!

There is hardly any crisis outside OF
a complete crop failure that would
tend to make Columbia a poor busi-
ness town.
If there is any money at all in the
"house treasury" after deducting
enough for other necessary expenses,
there is little doubt but that it will be
spent in educating the children. Next
to the very things needed for exist
ence, education is deemed a necessity.
To Columbia comes this money and
the Columbia business men get it.
Wouldn't you call town doing a
volume of business amounting to ap-
proximately the following a good busi-
ness town?
From University students, S1,0S0,000
From College women. 100000
A total of 81 ,2SO. 900 outside the busi-
ness done With Columbia and Boone
County people-Columbia having a
population of some $4,000 and Boone
County farmers having the hitch
racks filled with teams and the
streets with automobiles.
Wouldn't you consider a community
which is prosperous in itself a good
business town if there were an added
amount annually of business of more
than a million dollars?
