IMPORTERS URGE ACTION.
After Speech by HOke Smith Join in
Asking Wilson for Relief.

New York, Aug. 12.-After listen
ing to a speech by Senator Hoke
Smith, Of Georgia, yesterday, more
than 800 New York importers adopt
ed a petition TO President Wilson
urging prompt and strenuous action
to relieve American importers cf
conditions caused by Great Brit; n s
refusal to allow German and Aus
trian products to be shipped from
neutral ports to the United States.
Senator Smith declared the British
blockade was one Of the most flag
rant, ineXcuSable violations of neu-
tral rights in naval history. He said
nothing that the United States did or
that United States Court decided
ever violated Great Britain'S rights
during the civil war, as the British
note claimed.
Il have determined the only thing
to do" said Senator Smith, lis to tell
Great Britain to revoke the blockade
order or she can have no neutral
trade with us" He asserted that
during the Russo-Japanese war Great
Britain asserted the right OF India TO
ship cotton to Japan, and that the
British first placed cotton on the list
of articles not to be classcd as con-
traband.
The importers appointed COM
mittee to draw a petition asking Mr.
Wilson to call a special session Of
Congress to discuss ways and means
, Of relieving importers.
Illinois Protests.
Chicago, Aug. 13.-The Illinois

take the matter up.

QUESTIONING PEOPLES RIGHTS.
Indication of Weakness on Part OF
Anti-PrOhibitiOn Forces.
Greenwood Journal.D


We understand that the right OF
the people Of South Carolina to vote
for prohibition, in accordance with
the act passed at the last session of
the Legislature, has been called in
question, and an effort to enjoin the
same is being made in the name Of
one John Henry Chappell, of New
berry. The case viii come before the
Supreme Court August goth.
Well, this is rather good news, and
will only contribute to the greater
success of prohibition. The Legis-
lature did not pass a prohibition bill
because the friends of prohibition
preferred that the people should
speak for themselves, and so provis-
ion was made for a popular election.
1t now turns out that the liquor
crowd see the handwriting on the
wall, ara they practically say to the
sovereign people Of South Carolina,
I'VE will do what we can to prevent
you from having what you demand"
Is this not high-handed? But not
more so than was the plan that pre-
vented them from having prohibition
twenty years ago, after they had de-
cided at the polls, by a majority Of
10000, that this was what they
wanted. They submitted to this in
justice then, and have during all
these years, grOaned under the bur-
den Of the liquor business with all the
havoc and ruin, and the shame and
disgrace tnat it has brought, but
they will not endure this any longer.
Injunction, or no injunction, cleo
lion or no election, the doom Of the
whiSkey business is at hand. We re-
gard this action as one of great en-
couragement. 1t is fine indication
Of the strength Of prohibition senti-
ment in our State. But more, it is a
most excellent illustration Of what
may be expected Of people who stand
for liquor. They care naught for the
peoples rights, nor anything that
may stand in the way of this disrepu-
table business.
We are not in the least dismayed
or discouraged by this latest move,
and we are sure that it will not dis
courage any Of the people who stand
for the cause Of right, and for pure
democracy which never calls in uues-
ton the right of the people to ex-
press themselves at the polls.

because her location makes it more
difficult to pass the cotton on to the
enemies Of England
Since England is raying for the
cotton destined to neutral countries,
which she sci2cs, il is a little difncult
TO see how her interference in the
shipment Of cotton to neutral coun-
tries has lcsscncd our expectations,
except as it prevents these countries
from still further increasing their
impOrtationS to send into Germany.
There is no good to come from
"fOOlinR" ourselves. In the first
place, we have exported practically
as much cotton to Europe as ever be-
fore in our history. If the war has
lcSSened our exports Of cotton il is
because Germany and Austria have
not been able to get as much as they
would have taken. If these countries
had been able to get the cotton they
wanted we would have exported
much more than ever before because
the world, especially Europe, is to-
day using and destroying cotton fas-
ter than ever before in its history.
No, England's interference with
shipments of cotton to neutral Goun-
tries has not made the shipments to
those countries less than formerly,
but on the other hand, shipments to
these countries have been three and a
half times greater.
The only effect such interference
has had is to prevent their taking the
cotton needed by Germany and pass
ing it on to her since her ports being
blockaded she cannot obtain what she
wants direct.

ENGLAND'S INTERFERENCE
Has Not Made Our Cotton Exports to
NeutraIs Less than Formerly.

(Tait Butler, in Progressive Farmer
Last fall the cotton "cXperts,' that
is, the spectators, spinnerS, etc,
told us We would not be able to ex-
port more than four or five million
bales of the 19l4-l9l5 crop. They
just missed their guess by the differ
pncC between four or five and eight
million bales with some time yet to
increase our exports
Now they are telling us that Eng
lands interference with our exports
to neutral countries IS going TO make
prices low this fall
A friend asks ME 70 state how
much less the neutral countries have
taken Of American cotton. since the
war started. than Tor the same period
Of the preceding season" IT. is a
very natural mistake our friend
makes. or course, he is justified in
supposing We have shipped less cotton
to the neutral countries. else why all
this complaint about England's inter
ton to neutral countries and the pre-
diCtiOn thar unlSeS We make her quit
that interference the price OF cotton
will be depressed. But, as a matter
OF fact, for the ten months-July,
1914 to April, l9l5-we have ex-
ported approximately three and one
half times as much cotton to the neu-
tral countries of Holland, Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Spain and Italy as
for the same period Of the preceding
season.
For the same period before the
war we exported 772,552 bales, and
since the war 2,65S,0S4 bales. In de-
tail, We have shipped for the same
period since the war over 16 times as
much to Holland; nearly II times as
much to Sweden; nearly ~ times
as much to Spain; more than 2
times as much to Italy; more than
l6 times as much to Norway; and
35l times as much to Denmark

OF course these countries would
have taken more cotton had England
not interfered, for Germany and Aus
tria would no doubt have taken more
off their hands. This applies to all
except Italy, which now being at war
with Germany and Austria, would
not now send these countries cotton,

Military Preparedness.
(COlumbia RecOrd.l

One thing is quite evident when
ever the United States begins to talk
OF force. The lack OF preparedness
on our part to put through anything
that we might demand is really most
dlsconcerting. Our standing army is
just about large enoughSto do police
duty on the Mexican border and on
the canal.
Some change must be wrought
Just exactly what we do not know
but OF one thing we are sure-the
State lines must not be wiped out.
One Of the secrets of success of the
great German army is that the States
of the imperial government retain
their entity in furnishing troops.
There is the Bavarian army, the
Prussian army, the army corps Of
SaXony, etc.
We unders' and that one of the
proposed plans for prepared militia
would be to remove State lines, as in
the case of the United States regular
army. We think that would be a
fatal mistake. What would be
gained in efficiency mechanically,
would be lost in enthusiasm, respon-
siveness and patriotism. We fear
that the Dick law has already we'll
nigh killed the military spirit of the
young men of the State.
We have before pointed out the
practical uselessness of the militia of
this city, for the reason that with
tour Euua conc 1&ulcS Of Infantry,
there is NOV even one machine quo.

pect to get the endorsement of mill
tary men on such a proposition, but
as matter Of common sense we as
sert again II. 1t Columbia needs a
heavy field piece here in charge of a
company Of well-traincd artillery
men
Another suggestion we have to Of
fer for the military Improvement of
the State is that the South Carolina
Military Academy be sold or turned
over to the United States govern
ment as training school for naval
cadets, officers from civilian life and
submarine operators.
The naval construction Of the flu
ture is going to run largely to sub
marines, and the navy yard at Char
lesion is to be used especially for
work on this type of craft. There
fore it would appear to be the natu-
raj thing for the government to have
in Charleston a great training school
for officers.
South Carolina has but two regi-
ments of militia and yet has two mill
tary colleges, one of which is a State
institution. BY disposing of the Cita-
del, we would yet have it in the State,
and we would be able to buy Glenn
son, convert it into State college
and foster it properly and as it de-
serves.
