STATE ASSOCIATION TO MEET
AT LAUREL PARK THIS MONTH.
| FiOridians to Meet on August 3 and
South Car0Iinians on August 10
at 4 O'clock In Afternoon.
(Contributed.)

State organizations are a great fac
tor in building UP a tourist point.
Hendersonville was the first tourist
city in the state to recognize this, and
is today the only n that has numer-
Gus state associations. The greatest
oi these associations in number of n
nual visitors is Florida and South Car
DINA. This the result largely of close
proximity, relationship by marriage and
similar moral and political ideas. Fol-
a number of years, the two assoc1a-
lions held their annual meeting t0geth-
err at the same hour and place.
The best speakers from each State
presented the attractions they could
offer and to any one in attendance
seeking a new location it surely was
difficult to decide which was best. Last
year our numbers became so large that
separate annual meetings became nee
essary.
There is now a determination on the
part of each state to excel the other
in the attraction shown the public at
their annual meeting.
The Florida tourists claim their
programme for their annual meeting
August 3fd, in the Laurel Park Casino
a. 4 p. M, is the best ever given by
any association, and believes South
Carolina might as we'll not try to com
pete. On the other side South Carroll
ma smiles and says, "just wait and see
us distance them in every thing they
present you."
The public must come out and de-
eide this matter. Remember the hour
and date, Florida August 3rd, 4 p. M,
South Carolina August 10th, 4 p. m.
Admission free.
All invited.

q. S. DEFENSE PROBLEMS TO
BE DISCUSSED BY GOVERNORS

Madison, Wis, Aug. National de-
tense will be discussed by governors OF
the various states at their annual con
ference in Boston, August "a to 26, ac-
cording to the program announced to-
day by M. C. Riley, secretary of the
governors conference. The meeting
will have added significance by reason
or the fact that several adjutant gem
erals will participate in the discussion
in plans for increasing the size and
efficiency Of the national guard.
The Mexican situation and the Eu-
ropean war doubtlessly have caused
many Of the governors to ponder their
W and their states's responsibilities
in relation to preparedness" Secre-
tary Riley said. Each of the forty
nine governors a consulted in the
preparation of the program. ~Practi-
cally all asked that some phase of the
efficiency Of our citizen soldier ia
discussed, indicating a keen interest
In the problem confronting the nation.
Many Of the governors felt the
time was ripe for uniformity of action
in cooperation with the national gov
eminent for providing an adequate
program for improving the national
defense. A number of the governors
thought that If every young man is
subject under the law to be called on
for military duty, 1t is important that
such training should be provided as
will fit him to perform that service
WELL"
Speakers will include Governors
Charles s.. Whitman, New York !:
James P. Fielder, New Jersey; Frank
&. Willis, Ohio; Edward F. Dunno,
Illinois; Ernest Lister. Washington:
". S. Hammond, Minnesota; and for
mer Governors William Hodges Mann,
Of Virginia and Elias M. Ammons, of
Colorado.
Other subjects to be discussed at
the conference are 'The Executive
Budget" economy and efficiency in
theS state; taxation conservation, uni
formity in the fundamentals of work.
mems compensation acts of the differ
ent states, and duties and responsible
tiles of governors in dealing with pris-
oners.

r. +. PATTON GOES TO
GREENVILLE THIS WEEK.
Spartanbnrg Herald Gives Him High
Praise; Wanted in Polk and Avery
Counties for Road Work.

Road Supervisor P. F. Patton ex-
rects to leave for Grecnville. s. c., this
week to begin service in his new field
to which he was recently called when
unanimously elected road engineer for
Greenville county. Mr.. Patton was de-
layed in taking up the work by reason
of an attempt by road opponents to en-
JOIN the road authorities from making
a bond issue for road building pur-
poses.
Avery county has been trying to Sc
cure the services Of Mr.. Patton and he
will give the road authorities in that
county his assistance for a short while
ii arrangements ca nbe made with the
Greenville roadbuilders.
Polk county has also tried to secure
Mr.. Patton's services, concerning which
tie SpaItanburg herald of last Thurs
day edi0orially spoke in the following
warm words of praise of his work in
Henderson county:
"Sooa alter Greenville county au-
thorities, who advocated and put
through the legislature the million
dollar bond issue for good roads, It was
announced that Supervisor Patton, of
henderson county, N. c., who has done
such splendid work there in the con-
struction of roads at a minimum cost,
was to be employed by Greenville.. His
employment was regarded as an assur-
ance that Greenville was to have SPLEEN
did highways. Now we see it stated
that since the Greenville bond issue is
in the courts, and there is tt be moth
ing done in that county for a time, Mr..
Patton will, of course, not be retained.
III this connection it has also been
stated that Polk county, the small
county just north of Spartanburg in
North Carolina, which has under con.
si6eration further highway improve
ment. may go after Mr.. Patton. We
are certain that Polk county could have
no mistake in SO doing, for no better
work, at more reasonable expense, has
been done in the south than that &C.
complished under Mr.. Patton's super
vision between Saluda and Henderson,
vile. 1t is stated that the section of
the road cost the county of Henderson
only a little more than $12, 900.
IF Polk county a secure the SER
vices of Mr.. Patton, who apparently
understands road building in the
mountains a we'll, If not better than
any man who has engaged in that
work, it should 60 after him hard.
Polk county's development depends
upon its road building. Great pro-
gress has been made and the most sat
isfactory results have been shown"

SAYS GERMAN-AMERICAN ARE
THE BEST CITIZENS OF THE U.

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-Dr. G. J.
Hexamer, of Philadelphia, speaking at
the banquet tonight of the German
American Alliance, said that while the
war lasted it. was not to be expected
that the German-American position
would be fully appreciated.
II do not want to be prophetic" he
added. "but I believe the future will
prove us right. The time will and
must come when the American, even
the boldest Anglo-Amerfcan, will ad
nit that the German-American is the
most Americanized and therefore the
most human Of all neutral American
citizens. They will then praise us as
much as feIlow-citizens as we r now
being condemned by a small majord-
ty."
Today the alliance began a three
days convention here. In the first
business session DR.. Hexamer empha-
sized that the organization stands for
the perpetuation of friendly relations
between the United States and Ger
many. The convention adopted the
secretafy's report e~mbodying the re-
commentator that nationwide pro-
hfbition be opposed.
The report of Secretary Adolph
Timm, of Philadelphia. called atten-
ton to the plan Of campaign of the
prohibitionists as outlined at Atlantic
City, recently. and expressed the be-
lief that strong agitation by the lib
eral element is largely necessary"
President Hexamer said tonight that
it was expected resolutions dealing
with the prohibition question would
be introduced before the convention
during the session. The German
Americans, he said, were rather op-
posed to the method of prohibition
than the result sought, and felt that
education was a better means of con-
trolling the drink habit.

GERMANY CAN'T BE STARVED
OUT, SAYS sEC'Y OF TREASURY

Berlin, Aug. 1-.(Via London.)-Dr.
Karl Helferich, secretary of the i'm
perial treasury, has prepared for the
Associated Press a signed statement
on German economic and financial
affairs as he views them at the end of
the first year Of the war. His state
ment follows:
"The economic and financial feat
ures of the first year Of the war are,
i'll my opinion, the following:
First. The British starvation war
has failed. Once and for all it has
been proven that our domestic produc-
ton of foodstuffs, bread card system
and maximum prices assure even to
the poorest the necessary supply Of
food, and that at prices lower than
prevailing in Great Britain.
Second. Nor can we be starved
out, in raw materials. The importa-
ton of ray materials, in violation of
international law, are unpleasant for
us, but are not fatal. We have in our
own country an ample supply of the
most important raw materials-coaI
and iron-and of others we have on
hand, manufactured or unmanufactur-
ed, great supplies which, with the
economical employment thereof in
sured by our methods of organization,
are virtually i~nexhaustible.
Third. The spectre of unemploy-
ment has banished. There is more
work than workers. The war has
proven itself to be a greater employer
of labor than u export trade was.
Fourth. So far as finances are
concerned Germany will carry the war
through for an unlimited time. We
produce in our W country practical
ly everything needed for war. Thus
expenditures for wal purposes resolve
themselves into savings. These again
are at the empires disposition as pay
ments on the war loans and deposits
are flowing into the banks and saving
institutions more plentifully than in
times Of peace. The total of deposits
today, after ove $4,000, 0e0, 900 has
been paid on war loans, is higher than
at the outbreak of the war. The gold
reserve of the Reichbank has almost
doubled since the war began. Notes
and deposits in the Reichbank cover
ed by gold are thirty-three mad one
half per cent. as compared with 26.7
per cent. In the Bank or france, and
21.7 in the Bank of England.
Fifth. The confidence of the Ger
people in our financial strength
is as unbounded as their confidence in
our military superiority. After twelve
months of war Imperial 3's are quot
&c at 70, which is eight points below
the quotation in March, 1914; the min
imum price Of British consols 65, is
eleven per cent below the quotation in
March, 1914; three per cent French
rentes, at SO, are nineteen per cent.
below March, 1914.
Work, skill, discipline, organiza-
ton, economy and. last but not least,
the categorical imperative of patriot
ism have upheld Germany in the first
year against our enemies and will help
US further to win the war.
