Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier. Nov. 15.-"The

people of South Carolina makes ii
of the utmost Importance that the

recovering from the financial hard
ships of the recent panic caused by
the low price of our products as the
result of the European war, and il
behooves us to watch closely every
item of expense in order to hold
down the tax levy to a minimum
THE last session of our legisla
ture created the South Carolina tax
commission for the purpose of re-
forming the tax laws of the state and
equalizing the burdens of taxation
so that all our people would be plac-

commission shall have completed its
work feel that we should dismiss
from our minds the subject of in
creased expenses
CAUSE OF EDUCATION.
The awakening of our people on
the subject of common school edu-
cation makes il OF the utmost impor-
tance that we provide facilities for
increasing the efficiency of our rural

ryan ADDRESSES
ROCK HILL PEOPLE
.tbraskan Literally Applauded
by Big Audience at Win
4 thrOp Last Night.
10 h hvORS WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Thankful That "We Have i'm the
White House Christian
=. Statesman"

Rock Hill Special to Charleston
liam Jennings Bryan spoke to an
audience here this afternoon which
filled Winthrop auditorium to ca
pacity, and whether or not it can oe
said that he converted his hearers,
his wonderful power as a speaker
brought them to a realization that
there are two sides to all questions,
and many who were opposed we're
glad that they heard him.
Or. Johnson, in introducing the
speaker, referred to the famous
quotation: "I'd rather be right than
be President" and also that two ia
nous men could be opposed in meth
DDS and yet be personal friends.
Mr.. Bryan when he rose said that
he had made the statement that it
was certainly Easier to be right
than be President" but that New
York paper had said that as a matter
of fact "he was neither"
The war in Europe and its lessons
for us was the subject which he
divided into three parts. War as it
is and its bearing upon neutrals, the
false philosophy out of which it has
grown, and the way out or the road
to permanent peace. He paid par
-rrusstsr attention to the phase of pre-
paredness,.SRd,s stated that if prepar-
edness had been ahp.eyention there
would have been no war rice, 11,sar-',
now. "They were all ready, anuege.ii
needed the match, and the best pre-
pared was the first to enter"
TOUCHES ON TREATIES.
In his concluding argument, Mr..
Bryan said in treaties such as those
which he and the President hal
signed. was the way out of all future
difficulties.
Several times during the address
Mr.. Bryan paid high tribute TO Pres
ident Wilson, and at one point said
that although he and the President
mad differed as to methods he
thanked God that we have in the
White House a Christian statesman,
calm and level-headed, and anxious
to prevent drawing the country into
war"
Mr.. Bryan was we'll received and
heartily applauded by the Winthrop
girls and the entire audience. He
came out;at the beginning unreserv-
edly in favor OF woman suffrage by
saying that Men have an over
whelming majority in the peniten-
tiaries. and women a corresponding
one in the churches; now If the wo-
men have brains enough to keep out
of the prisons and in the churches,
they prove themselves better quail
fed to vote than the men and they
should by sil means have it." Mr.
Bryan speaks in Charlotte this even

LAND PRODUCTS
SHOW IN OCTOBER

The Second Manufacturers and
Land Products Show will be held in
Portland from October 25th to No
vember 18th. 1t will be presented
by the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, the most powerful commercial
organization in the Pacific Northwest,
assuring the greatest Show of this
kind ever given in this part of the
country.
The Manufacturers and Develop
ment Bureaus, two of the most i'm
portant in the work of organization,
jointly make the directors of the
Show which means the support of ev-
cry business man in Portland.
The Armory will be used to display
the manufactures. It's location right
down town assures big attendance.
Other buildings will contain educa-
tional and amusement features. An
Exposition annex 260 rs feet will
be erected for the Land Products ex-
hibit While these exhibits will show
the opportunities for homeseekers
they should, and will, be the means
of creating markets for many special
products.
Each county should feature the
specialties that it desires to call to
the attention of buyers and the gen.
eral public.
The Show of 1914 proved it's
worth in this particular by bringing
producers and buyers together.
The Show comes at time of the
year when all County Fairs, as we'll
as the State Fair at Salem, are over
and the best of the soil products on
exhibition at fairs throughout the
state will be sent to Portland for dis
play.
Special excursion rates will be
given by the railroads leading into
Portland. Many cities and towns Of
the state will have special days at
the Exposition, and amusement fea-
lures will be included in the daily
programs. Lectures by experts on
many subjects of interest have been
arranged for.

TEACHERS COTTAGES.

Josephine Corliss Preston, Wash
ington's Superintendent of Public In
struction, proudly announces in a
bulletin of her department that the
state has 10S teachers cottages.
These are residences provided for
teachers in connection with rural
schools, much in the same way as
progressive churches build houses for
their pastors. The teachers cottage
does away with the terrible eXper-
ience of boarding round" which is
not unknown even at this day in
some quarters. 1t also does away
with the scarcely less disagreeable
search for a boarding place among
the mourning widows and overwork-
ed farmers wives of the district. The
teacher has home of her own where
during her term in the school she Is
monarch of all she surveyes and
where she can live as luxuriously or
as cheaply as she wishes.
lHo COtId6e DullI OuI VI puDilC
funds marks step toward more sta
bility and dignity in the teachers
calling. With roof over her head
and domestic establishment of her
own, she is no longer fugitive fur
lively skipping from shelter to shell
ter with an even chance of taking up
quarters with the birds.
Washington's first teachers cot
tage was built in Walla Walla Coun-
ty in 1905. The project has proved
to be popular both with teachers and
patrons. None of the 10S already
built are very sumptuous, but Mrs.
Preston assures us that they add
greatly to the comfort Of the teachers
and to the efficiency Of the schools.
This we can easily believe, since the
first requisite for good school is a
contented and happy teacher.-Ore-
gonian.
