tirely new force of foreign CONNER
Cial officers (the commercial at
taches), which did not exist and was
not proposed under the republican
administration, has been created and
has done productive work abroad in
behalf of our commerce; that the
work of the department for enhanc-
ing our foreign commerce has been
expanded at home by the creation of
eight branch offices and six cooper
ating branches, covering our leading
commercial centers, none Of which
existed under republican rule.
There has thus been built up at
home and abroad q new organiza-
ton. solely devoted to the develop
ment of our commerce. It has pro-
duced extraordinary results. 1t
would be easy to i'll several Of your
columns with specific examples of
the trade thus won. They will be
furnished willingly on demand to
those who ask for them.
At the very time when Mr.. Hughes
speaks, a great railway, TO cost $780,
100000. is undertaken by Americans
in China. Large public works in
Uruguay are begun by American
contractors. Engineering works on
a great scale are taken up by Amer
leans in Russia Il would be easy
10 multiply the instances.
Mr.. Hughes has once or twice re-
ferred TO our disapprOval Of what is
known as the Chinese Six-Power
loan as an evidence Of our i'll will
toward foreign commerce. He should

that that loan was disapproved be-
cause the contract on which il was

consistent with the financial inde-
pendence Of China.
Perhaps IL Will seem most strange
of all that MI Hughes should have
made the statement TO which 1 refer
at the very time when, by democra-
tic legislation the extension OF the
american banks al over the world
has begun. There vas almost MOTH
ing OF the kind four years ag6. Our
foreign competitors had their finan-
ciaI weapons all round the earth and
Ne had little OF nothing OF the sort.
The law enacted under republican
rule did not permit them. The
democrats changed that law TO pro-
mote them. and now they exist In
numerous places, growing and TO

/ hereby take life, liberty and
happiness to question your qualid-
cation as editor of the Melting Pot.
l do so because during the past week
or more you have been filing the
pot with matter that is not original
with you. Yo have filled il up with
clipped matter from New York
papers. Aren't you original enough
To compose humorous verse or prose
Of your own? If not why let me
know and I might collaborate with
you on something. 1 believe with
my command Of English and knowl-
edge of many phases Of life you and
I could collaborate very we'll AS a

I would want TO do all the writing
but would let you use your name ia

must be understood that my name
would be mentioned first in the
partnership. / would be the senior
member of the firm Of collabOratOTs.
You could be my hireling. slave or
office boy, just as you wish. You
may choose your own title.
1 will permit you TO make sugges-
tions but will not promise to use
them. / could not do that in light
of my tempermental nature. l am
very tempermental. So if your sug-
gestions were actually brilliant I
would not use them, because my
temperamental nature would rebel
at the thought Of you suggesting
something TO me that would be brill
liant Ii would gall me exceedingly
much TO be forced TO have some
thing in the Melting Pot that is real
~ brilliant and then give you the
credit for it. No, that cannot be.
So, you see how really useless it
would be for you to give birth to
really brilliant idea.
However, and yet, it would also
be equally as futile for you to sug-
gest non-billiant ideas. 1t is un-
necessary 10 say that they would not
find entrance to a Melting Pot in
which / cOllaborate. SO you see in
what a peculiar situation you are
in. 1t would be parallel TO that
which a certain vulgar man recently
called a Heluvafix
It SINNERS down to this: l must
collabOrate alone or not all. You
will be merely a satellite, a para
site. 1t is only one of the quaint
vagaries Of my temperamental mind.

dress you in this manner and hope

Editor NeWS-Ttmes:
Answering your request Of recent
date, il gives me pleasure 70 take
advantage of your courtesy TO lay
before you some suggestions based
upon certain statements made by
Mr.. Charles +. Hughes in an address
at Baltimore. In this speech he
said:
During the past three and a half
years one would suppose that any
American who went 10 foreign lands
10 advance American industry and
commerce was presumably a bad
fellow who had lost his rights"
Every manufacturer AMI business
man acquainted with export trade
knows that this statement is incor-
rect and that the differences nor
pnally 10 be drawn from il are wholly
mistaken. IL is incredible that an
upright man like Mr. Hughes should
be could make such a statement II
he we're familiar with the facts The
only excuse for il lies in his ignor-
ance
In the first place. the expenditures
Of the department OF commerce for
the promotion OF our foreign trade

administration more than five times

Act Stimulated Business.


where can borrow money at from
four to six percent. Before this act
was in effect, the same business man
had 10 pay twice that amount, and
then was not certain OF his accom-
modations. 1 claim that the bank
reserve act would have stimulated
business and many small manufac-
turing enterprises all over the coun-
try. without the European war.
Heretofore, the reserves OF the
country never had been properly
modified. and drifted into the banks
Of Wall street, where they have been
under the control Of designing men.
With the use OF those reserves, the
money Of the country could be with
held easily from the legitimate de-
mands of business. and used for
the purpose of Wall street. Today
because of our II reserve banks, the
business men may count on the re-
serves Of his section. wherever he
may be located The bank reserve
act will save us from any financial
panic, at any time, because the re-
serves Of the nation now are avail
able to all the people.
What the reserve act has done
for business in general, the rural
credits measure has done for the
farmer. enabling him TO borrow
money at honest rates from his home
bank, vastly improving his work
ing conditions. and stimulating the
greater production OF crops.

Dillon Team Wins Pennant.

At Dillon Tuesday in the nip-and-
tuck pennant series between the Dill
lon and Lamar teams for the cham
pionship of the Pee Dee league, Dill
lon captured the last game of the
series by a great streak of luck. Up
to Tuesday the teams were even,
each having won three games. AT
the opening of the last half of the
ninth inning of the seventh and last
game everything seemed to be in
Lamar's favor, when the Dillon boys
woke up and made four scores, de-
feating the Lamar team a to 8.
Each of the three games won by
Lamar was pitched by Epting. Fos.

team scored three runs in the third

COUNTY FAIR THIS
FALL IS ASSURED.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN SES-
SION LAST SATURDAY SAYS
GO AHEAD WITH SHOW.

At a meeting of the Executive
committee of the Williamsburg
County Fair association here last
Saturday much interest was mani
tested by those present. Since the
recent storm played such havoc with
things in general and apparently
ruined the prospects of an agricul-
tural display a great many people
have been in doubt as to whether
the committee would attempt to
hold fair this fall. This idea was
unmistakably dispelled at the meet
ing Saturday, for every officer and
member of the Executive committee
was enthusiastically in favor of go
ing right ahead just as if nothing
had happened" And they ordered
that additional stalls for stock be
built and building erected especi-
ally for the poultry exhibit. Other
improvements were ordered made
to the grounds and buildings.
Indications are that the fair this
fall, November 8, 9, 10 and II, will
exceed in size and interest that of
last year.
