TALKS TO BUSINESS men
PRESIDENT WILSON, SECRETARY
BRYAN, AND OTHERS SPEAK
TO BUSINESS MEN.
Cooperation Between Business and
the Government in Framing the
Laws For Benefit Of People.

acknowledgements between
business and the Government in franz
ing laws for the benefit Of all the peo-
pie was urged by President Wilson in
an address before several hundred rep
resentative business men mere attend
ing the annual convention Of the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States. He declared that eve must
all pool our interests" to discover the
best means for handling public prob
lens.
The President urged the creation in
the United States in time of peace OF
the same kind OF united spirit which
moves Nations during wars. He
declared that when peace is as hand
some as war there will be no wars,
and that when men engage in the
pursuits of peace il the same spirit
of self-sacrifce as they engage in war
wars will disappear"
The President predicted that while
there's. a shortage of food~in the
world nov, felhzsaestage will be much
greater later. He pointsSsa2QIaII- that
under the guidance of the Departms41
Of Agriculture efforts must be made
by American farmers to grow more
and more grain that the Woris-aaaay-bg
fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States the President asked that
business men devise some way Of al
lowing American exporters to CON-
bine to form common selling agencies
and to give longtime credits in such
a way that these cooperative agen-
cies may be open to the use of all. He
declared that apparently the anti
trusssslaws prohibited such combina-
tons now but that he would favor a
change, if method fair to all could
be found. He spoke Of the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commences
work in surveying the world" for
the benefit of all business men.
Business men themselves are to
blame if intelligent laws affecting
them are not framed, the President
asserted. He added that they should
come out into the open and use their
knowledge of conditions to bring about
laws to prevent business evils.

NAVIGATION BILLS PASSED.

Measure Designed to Facilitate oper-

Washington. = Several bills clear
ing up discrepancies in the navigation
laws were passed by the house. The
measures were designed especially to
facilitate operation under American

by American citizens or corporations.
When the Panama Canal act and
recent amendments to the navigation
laws established the policy of admit
ting foreign built ships o registry
when owned by Americans, penalties
and discriminating duties imposed on
such vessels remained on the statute
books. The bills passed repealed the
section of the Underwood tariff law
imposing an additional duty of 10 per
cent ad valorem on goods imported
in such ships, and the old penalty Sec
ton of the navigation laws imposing
a tax of 81 ton on such ships when

The latter part Of last week
these same officers DESTROYED
two large copper stills in the
upper part of this county in
what is known as the Big Cane
Brake" section. The plants
were in full operation and were
said to be the largest and most
complete that have been destroy
ed in this county in some time.
They were located about 26
miles northwest of Pickens and
about a quarter of a mile from
the North Carolina line. Two
men-0 Gorge Holcombe and j..
