committee ut a convenient Gate.
After another exchange OF mcssarcs
it was arranged that Mr. Warburs
should appear before the committee
tomorrow afternoon. In the mean
time the name of the other member
will be submitted to the senate. To-
night it was believed that Edwin A.
Potter. Il Chicago banker and Il Re
publican, would be chosen.
Official Washington was unusually
optimistic regarding the general fnan-
cial outlook i'm the United States. Sec
retary McAdoO had no worries over
the expectation of American gold,
though he approved heartily the clos
ing of the stock exchanges in order to
check it. He referred to the uatriot-
ism Of the bankers OF the country,
who, he felt assured, would not per-
NIT exchanges that would be disad-
vantageous to tAe nation.
America Is in position to take
care of herself" the Secretary said.
In the senate optimistic notes were
sounded on all sides regardless Of
party afIilia atoms, and Senator Nelson.
OF Minnesota, dramatically declared: :
"In Europe they mobilize armies and
navies; in America We mobilize bank
reserves"
The senate paused only long enough
to allow several senators to laud pres
ent banking and financial conditions
and to explain that tho measure was
passed merely as precautionary
measure.
Europe is in n crisis" said Senator
owen, in presenting the measure.
Something should be done to prepare
this country to meet any emergency

Washington. July 31.-Wilson and
the administration acted promptly to-
day to reassure the country against
any threatening financial dangers
growing out Of the European war sit
uation. First the president took steps
to complete Immediately the organiza-
tion Of the federal reserve board so
the new currency law may become
effective.

proval OF the closing of the stock exc
changes throughout the country, an

emergency currency waiting at the
treasury department would be made
Immediately available to national

TO make moro easily accessible this
emergency currency. authorized by
the Aldrich-Vreeland act, the senate
late today. at Mr.. McAdoo's sugges-

tho clause providing that banks of
national currency associations to avail
themselves Of the issue must have
outstanding currency notes secured
by bonds of the United States to an
amount not less than 40 per cent of

The preparation for the State meet
Ing Of the Union at Anderson last
week. and the accumulation of work
since has kept me from writing any
thing for these columns until this Of :
tsrnoon. The most Of the readers of
the Watchman and Southron have
seen the press accounts Of the meet
ing which were very good and as full
% we could expect. So far as I have
been able to see the most important
thing left out OF the reports was In
failing to make note Of the appoint
ment Of the committee on banking
and currency and on cotton warehous-
Ing and marketing. This was the last
work before adjournment after q two
hours discussion Of the subject from
many angles. 1t was finally decided to
place tho entire matter In the hands
Of the committee to be composed of
the president. the vice president and
the three members OF the executive
committee with full power to act for
the State Union.
This committee held Meeting. the
next day on the train and In Column
hia and agreed upon an open letter to
all the Farmers Unions. banks and
merchants Of the South as beginning
Of the work II In charged to do by the
state union. viz: To secure concerted
action In all Of the cotton States on
banking and currency. inciudig treas
ury deposits. and on wareho housing and
marketing cotton. When We have
heard from the other state unions. and
from other persons and agencies that
can help In this great work the South
Carolina committee will be called to
meet In Columbia. 1t Is very probab
that other meetings Of an Interstate
nature will be held before the full
opening Of the cotton season.
Time Ii limited this afternoon and I
will have to close with line about the
splendid meeting ut Anderson. and the
entertainment at Clemson College. Six
places made bids for the next annual
meeting Of the state union, but It Is
doubtful IL any Of them can give as
good entertainment as Anderson and
Clemson College. E. w. d.

MAY DISSOLVE BODY |
Southern Indiana Teachers
Association to Vote.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 2s.-Disso-
luton of the Southern Indiana Teach
ers' association was proposed by a
resolution placed in the hands of the
committee on resolutions for presenta-
ton to the general association meet
ing in the Claypool hotel today. The
resolution was to be presented to the
teachers body without recommenda-
ton for action.
J. B. Eagan. president of the asso-
citation, believed the resolution would
be adopted by the teachers, as it is
sanctioned by the principal educators.
Conflict with the State Teachers asso-
citation, making too much time off,"
is the reason for the resolution.
The annual State Teachers associ-
alton with practically the same func-
ton as the Southern Indiana associa
ton, meets in December of each year
and is attended by the same teachers
who are inattendance at the Southern
Indiana Teachers association meeting
