Wilson Defends S-Hour Law In
Opening Speech

Long Branch, n. J., Sept. 23.-
President Wilson today actively
opened his campaign for re-
election with a speech replying
to Republican criticism of his
settlement OF the recently threat
ened railroad strike. With en-
phatic gestures, before a large
crowd assembled at Shadow
Lawn, he defended the eight
hour dav law and declared also
that the Nation must be freed
from the possibility of interfer-
ence with its commerce. Busr.
ness men from various parts of
New Jersey often interrupted
the President with hand clapping
and cheering.
The chief cloud that is upon
the domestic horizon is the un-
satisfactory relations of capital
and labor" the President SAID.
adding that so long as labor and
capital stand antagonistlc, the
Interests of both are injured, and
the prosperity Of America is held
back from the triumphs which
are legitlmaetly its OWL"
MIR. Wilson spoke of the bright
future for America business, and
then launched directly into
discussion of the railroad situa-
ton. Without directly mention.
ing Charles E. Hughes, the Re-
publican nominee. the President
brought in the Republican party
by saying that about seventy
Republicans supported the eight
hour law in the House of Rep.
resentatives, and Senate Repub-
llcans put no obstacle in the way
OF the passage of the measure.
This was because the propos-
al was reasonable and was based
upon right" asserted Mr.. Will

Geo. Laney Thinks Insurance
Controversy Will Be Ad-
justed

The State, Saturday
The fire insurance situation
will be satisfactorily adjusted by
the next legislature, in the opin-
ion of q. K. Laney, member of
the senate from Chesterfield
county, who was among the Wis
itors in Columbia yesterday.
Senator Laney was the author
of the fire insurance bill passed
by the last legislature.
Gov. Manning will probably
deal with the fire insurance sit
uation in his annual message to
the next general assembly. In
a recent letter the governor
stated that he would probably
urge the creation of a State rate
making bureau.
Senator Laney said yesterday
that the fire insurance situation
had shown much improvement
during the last five months.

Deserter Brought Back By Sher-
ife Douglass

" S>~o.~~S
The Cheraw Chronicle gives
the following account of the ar
rest of a Chesterfield county
man in New York last week by
Sheriff Douglass:
vernon S. Blackburn was
brought in this morning by
Sheriff Douglass from Staten
Island, N. Y, and is now lodged
IN Jail TO await trial on charges
of adultry and desertion. Black.
burn lived near McBee and
married several years ago a
daughter of Mr.. John T. Gul-
ledge. On the 28th of March,
1915, he left for parts unknown
taking with him his wife's
younger sister. Nothing was
heard of them until about two
months ago when the SISTER"
returned home. She refused,
however, to give any informa-
ton. A short time afterwards
Mrs. Blackburn received a letter
from her delinquent husband
and this letter was turned over
to the authorities. A warrant
was issued and reauisition pa
pers secured and sheriff Doug
lass went after his man."

Pageland Boys Will Help t,
Guard Border

Fl Paso, Sept. 22.-The First
South Carolina infantry will
soon be distributed over 80
mile outpost line from Las
Cruces, New Mexico, to Fort
Hancock, Texas. The regiment
will be broken into companies
and. assigned to outpost stations
at the, small towns east a..s.:
west of Ell Paso.
The combined First and Sec
ond regiments of South Carolina
infantry marched as one reg.
iment in the big military review
parade Yesterday, and although
they are recent arrivals at the
border lost fewer men thru ex-
haustion than the troops of any
other State.
Arriving at 4 o'clock in the
morning the men did not com.
plete the review until nearly
sundown. Besides being under
restraint all day the soldiers
marched 20 miles with field
equipment. That the South
Carolina men so ably stood the
experience speaks we'll for their
natural endurance, because they
have not passed thru the hard
enlng process the other troops
here have received. Brig. Gen.
Royce Williams of Kentucky
commanded the provisional brig
ade, which was created for the
occasion by merging South
Carolina and Kentucky troops.

The Record Bale.

Monroe Journal.
This morning Mr.. ]. T. Tay-
lor, who farms with MIR. N. W..
BiveDs of this township, sold a
bale OF cotton to ]. E. Stack &
Co., for twenty-three cents i
pound. The bale weighed SIS
pounds, which with the seed,
brought $l45. %. mo such
price has never been received
for cotton since the days i'm
mediately following the war.
This cotton is very long staple.
Mr.. Bivens has been growing it
for some time. Last year he Sc
lected the seed in the field and
picked only from the best bolls.
Heretofore it has been bringing
but a few cents above the mark
ct. However. this year the de
mand for long staple is much
greater than usual, and this bale
was better staple than usual, be
ing inch and a quarter. The
regular so-called long staple
grown in this county is an inch
and an eighth. Mr.. Taylor ex-
poets to get four or five more
bales.
