field dairyman, and J. H. Mclean, OF

will be held under the auspices OF
Clemson College and the United
States government, looking to SIMILAR
improvement.
An effort will be made to increase

once purchasing pure breed. Special
attention will be given to the iced
for the cattle.

Columbia.

Manufacturing in the state is keep
ing close up with agriculture in the
race for supremacy in South Caro-
lima now. The years value of the
manufactured product of all indus
tries has been S141,157,3O2, a sum
just about equal to the value of the
agricultural products Of last year, but
still about SIS, 00C, 900 behind the ag-
ricultural results of 1913. This sum
represents an actual increase Of $751;
573,242 over last years manufacture
ing record. This year the total CAPT
tai invested in all industries is $751;
O39,699 against $142,7 ITO. sos, an in
crease Of 1858, S96. The value Of
the output as compared with the in
crease of capital invested shows a
healthy growth.
There are now on the average u.s.
326 persons employed in the manu-
featuring industries of the state, an
increase Of 424 over 1912. OF these
53,542, an increase OF 81, are men;
1t,OOO, oil lllClSGSS VI oOc, CIV Wv
men,; 4,612 are boys under 1G, a de-
crease of 166, and 3,307, q decrease Of
IS, are girls under IS.
To these employees $24,406,226 was
paid in wages-an increase of ST.
309.570 over 1912. The men got in
wages $495.5 500 more than last year;
the women $29S,513; the boys were
paid a total of 1891, 915 in wages
$22,064 more than last year, though
1876 less boys were employed; and the
girls $695.27S-an increase Of $43,-
$3.50, though Sc less girls were employ
ed than in 1912.
The textile industry of the state
continues to be far and away the
leading manufacturing industry, show
ing an annual production Of $S4,7S5,-
152, on a capital invested of SSS.767.-
1913. A large proportion of the total
increase in value of product is cue 20
the handsome increase shown in the
textiles.
The second industry in value OF
products is lumber and timber
products, with an outpus worth Sl4,-
719,573 on a capital invested of $751;

PLANS TO LOCATE BANKS WAS A GREAT CROP YEAR
TEN BILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF PRODUCTS is THE 1918
RECORD OF U. S. FARMS.
Despite Bumper Crops, Department Of
Agriculture Doesn't Expect Drop
in Cost of Living.

Washington.-Ten billion dollars
worth Of products, $4,000, G00.0 OF
cash income-a bumper year in spite
of drouths and other setbacks-is the
1913 record Of 6,000,0 900 American
farms.
The United States most successful
year Of ~husbandry produced $780,
coo, 900 worth of crops, of which ST.
S96, 100000 were represented by &C.
reals alone, and $3.50, 900, 900 worth
of animals sold and slaughtered and
animal products. The value of the
1913 crops is twice that of 1899; more
than 1000, 600, 900 over 1863 and sub.
stantiaily greater than 1912.
Despite Il record year OF crop value
although the record of production
has fallcn-and the fact that the num-
Der Of farms has increased II per cent.
since 1910, until there now are esti-
mated to be 100000 farms in the
country, the department of agricul-
ture, in 4 discussion Of the subject,
made public, does not take the view
that a lower cost Of living will re.
suit.
However desirable increased pro-
duction on farms may appear to be
from the consumers standpoint, it
does not follow that such increased
production would result in any in.
crease in the cash income per farm or
per capita Of farm population, or that
prices paid by consumers would be
any lower" says the report.
Had the total production in 1913
equalcd or exceeded the 1912 produc-
tioa, it seems probable that the cash
income per farm would not have been
greater and might have been less than
in 1912, but it is extremely doubtful
whether the cost to the consumer
would have been less, because retail
prices arc raised promptly or a pros
pect Of underproduction, but are slow
10 decline if there is ovcrproduction.

yMcADOO AND HOUSTON ARE TO
HEAR THE CLAIMS OF ALL
THE CITIES.
Only Fourteen Large Cities to Be Wis
tied by the Organization
Committee.

Washington.-The Federal reserve
bank organization committee supple
mented it's plan for locating federal
reserve cities with an unofficial an
nouncement pointing the way for all
cities to present their claims for
banks. Before the committee, con-
sisting of Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo and Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston starts upon its tour or the
country, it will advise clearing house
associations and boards Of trade III
cities that are in the field for d re-
serve bank, when and where they
can be heard. The committee will
suggest that representatives OF such
organizations be supplied with all the
facts each city wishes to produce IN
its favor.
Only fourteen large cities in addi-
ton to Washington will be visited, but
it was the understanding that any city
and any community a be heard at
some point OH the trip around the
country which has been mapped out.
Treasury officials praised the de-
cision of the committee to work out
the district limits and cities by public
hearings. They said that already
scores of kilograms had been received
asking for a hearing in Washington,
on the ]supposition that the work was
to be done here. BY holding hearings
in many cities the committee hopes
to avoid trouble and save time.

SEGREGATION IS =.
URGED FOR SOUTH
DECREASE IN DISEASES WILL
RESULT, SAYS GOVERN.
MENT EXPERT.
SHOULD PROTECT WOMEN
In~sanitary T%enen1erts for Negroes Are
Held Partly Responsible for the
Present Conditions.

Misunderstanding that the mel
Of the South give but One-third to
One-half the protection to the women
as do the men of other sections, DR..
Charles Waddell Stiles OF the United
States public health service in his
speech before the members Of the
American Association for the Ad-
vancemeat Of Science and the public
at TAFT hall, made a graphic plea for
"a square DEAL for Southern moth
ers.
He declared that insanitary condi-
lions and the lack Of adequate race
segregation in the South are largely
responsible for the spread Of disease,
which increases greatly the sufferings
CT the mothers.
In connection with the subject Of
race segregation, Doctor Stiles point
ed out that the negro is very weak
when in the grasp of tuberculosis,
while a white man may live long
with the disease. The reverse, he
said, is the "a with malaria. The
living of members Of the two races
in close proximity to each lie show
ed greatly spreads both these and
other diseases.
In part, Doctor Stiles spoke, as fol
lows:
THE first important practical point
l wish to make is that given the pres
ent unnatural existence OF two races,
the white and the black, here in the
South, in their present existing pro-
portions, both races are living under
biological and medical handic2DS that
are unequaled in any other part of
the country. We may talk as much
as we may wish about harmony and
cooperation between the races, inter-
racial competition is more in accord
with natural law than is inter-racial
cooperation, and that type Of coop
GRAFTON which is biolOgically and med
ically in the interest of both races is
for them to keep as far apart and
as distinct as possible. Given the
present sanitary conditions, the more
clsoely the two races are brought into
contact, the more will each race act
as a reservoir of it's W diseases to
the other race, the greater will be
their borrowed death rates, and the
greater will be the strain from un-
necessary sickness and death to
which the Southern mothers, both
white and black will be subjected"
