which was in danger OF blowing over.
In the afternoon, between six and
seven hundred attended the enter
tainment, all of whom found seats in
the grandstand. The program was
necessarily carried out under difficult
ties, the heavy wind making 1t almost
impossible to hear the words of the
speaker In the evening, the Metho-
dist church was filled to It's utmost
capacity and the program was com
pleted according to scheduled, with
the exception OF the motion pictures
which a lack OF facilities made i'm.
possible.
The evenings entertainment con-
sisted of 4 concert by yidtor's italian
band anu Venetian Troubadours. The
band is under the leadership of Sig

ed States, and an excelant program
was given. THE Venetian Trouba
doars in the costumes OF their native
country gave a number of folk songs
to the accompaniment of guitars and
mandolins. One of the features Of
the entertainment were the solos by
Miss Hiltz, coloratura soprano. who
makes her appearance with the band.
Miss liiltz possesses unusual talent
and her numbers formed delightful
part of the program. ..
During a short intermission, w H..
Nichols spoke to the audience con
cerning the Chautauqua plans for
next year, and called for AN express
ion of the feeling of the people. All
who were in favor Of supporting a
Chautauqua for another Year were re-
quested to arise and the response
was most gratifying to those in
charge All those who were willing
to purchase one or more tickets for
such a Chautauqua to be paid for
next year when delivered were asked
to sign II pledge to that effect.
In the afternoon, DR.. Turner spoke
briefly or "A Plea for the City Beau
tifuL" The speaker urged that the
people of each community awaken to
the appearance of their town since ii

KING COTTON AS PEACE MAKER
The Paradoxical Fantasy of Soutt
Carolina Editor.

The Paradoxicai Fantasy OF a south
Carolina Editor.
A singular and most interesting yet
not impossible role for King Cotton
to play at this time is that of protect
ing the United States from war.
Let us assume that Germany, angry
as She may be with "Uncle SAM" can
not carry on the war against her pres
ent belligerent enemies without cot
ton and that she rather would main
tain peaceful relations with our
country, taking the chances of get
|ting some cotton Ca considerable
quantity in facD through neutral
countries than of throwing away all
chances of obtaining any. Obviously
Germany would receive little or no
American cotton were she at war
with the United States.
Then let us assume that, the dis
pute with Germany having been set
tied, Great Britain, aware of the alb
solute necessity of commerce in cot
ton and other American commodities,
|would in any case avoid rupture of
peaceful relations with the United
States. In the COS deprivation of
southern cotton imposed terrible
Hardship on the Lancashire spinners
and England was not then beset by
any foreign foe. She will beware Of
bringing upon herself cotton famine
now
King Cotton may prove the peace
maker, so far as the. United States is
concerned.
This, though, is only conjectural.
When nations are at "clinches,' like
men, they forget what is obvious.
