in will ask the supreme court this
afternoon at 4 O'Clock for an order
requiring the insurance commission
er to show cause why he should not
issue an insurance brokers' license

fore he can be granted a brokers

ant Governor.

The following statement by J. Ar
thur Banks, president Of the South
Carolina Warehouse association, ap-
peared yesterday in the Charleston
News and Courier, having been sent
in by the Columbia bureau:
"Since the last meeting of the
State Warehouse association there
has been considerable public cloud
ing of what our association stands
for, as adopted by that meeting.
Whether the darkening of the waters
be Intentional or unintentional, the
fact remains that the public has been
led to take different views Of what we
really stand for. l desire now to
state the situation so plainly that
every unprejudiced mind may be in
no doubt on the subject.
"The resolution was offered by Mr..
E. w. Dabbs and adopted by unani-
nous vote, and is as follows:
Resolved, That the State Demo-
cratic convention be requested to pro-
vide that State Warehouse Commis-
sioner John L. McLaurin be permit
ted to attend the State campaign
meetings as regular speaker this
summer, to present the great eco
nomic question involved in the State
warehouse system and that ne be
given one hours time at each meet
ing.
This l interpret to mean that this
time is asked for McLauri1 to pre-
sent the claims Of the warehouse sys-
tenn, and nothing else.
ITO this resolution our association
is committed as an association, and to-
nothing else Commissioner McLau-
ms proposition to run for lieutenant
governor was heard. 1t was not
acted upon by the ASSOCIATION.
1--WE have up to date avoided en-
trance into politics except in so far as
polite: affect the preservation of
what we regard as the greatest in
dustrial and commercial programme
yet undertaken in the South.
ITO show that our request is not
unreasonably, o4e of the announced
candidates for governor has expressed
himself to me as considering it moth
ing but right that the farmers should
have this opportunity to present this
great issue, and voluntarily said that
if there was no other wa yhe would
gladly give half Of his time for that
purpose"

Mothers Day.

The secoad Sunday in May is Mot2-
er's Day. This year it falls cn May
14th. The beautiful thought of setting
aside one day in the year to be par
ticularly devoted to ones mother was
first suggested by Miss Anna Jarvis
of Philadelphia, who founded the
Mother'sf Day international associa-
tion to provide the necessary organiz-
ed support for the fostering Of the
movement. Thanks largely to her ef-
forts, Mothers Day has become a
recognized institution as the day On
which each of US should pause to
acknowledge our debt Of affection and
gratitude to ''the best mother who
ever lived on which we should be
with her if We can, and, if we unfortu-
nately cannot, should make point of
sending her a message of affection
and cheer.
In cooperation with the effort to
foster the observance of Mothers
day, the Western Union Telegraph
company has provided special tele-
graph blanks, appropriately decorated
with an artistic design of carnations
and bearing the legend Mothers
Day." On which all messages Of those
who wish to send a word of greeting
to their mothers on this occasion, by
day letter or night letter or in
short telegram, will be delivered.
The emblem of the day IS the white
carnation, and it is the hope Of the
Mothers Day association that it will
be worn by every one as a tribute Of
respect, not only for his own mother
but also for all the gentle and noble
motherhood of the land

PRES. AND MRS. WILSON TO
VISIT CHARLOTTE, MAY 20IH

Washington, May 9.-President
Wilson is coming to Charlotte to
speak May 20th, and he will
probably bring Mrs. Wilson with him.
He told Secretary Daniels today that
this is his present intention. The
secretary saw the president today
twice in regard to the visit. 1t is
understood, of course, at the last mo-
ment some unusual circumstance may
arise in the foreign relations to cause
these plans to be cancelled, but at
the present time Mr.. Wilson's pur-
pose is to go. Secretary Daniels will
probably go to Charlotte also.
Mrs. Wilson is very anxious to
make this trip. Being Southern born
herself she wants to visit that section
of the souAa and see the peopls.
Ihe party win leave Washington
Friday night, May 19, and return in
time to spend Sunday at home. They
will not visit Columbia, S. c., or
Davidson.
The coming of President Wilson
besides giving North Carolina the
privilege of entertaining the nations
chief executive will give the State
the added Distinction of entertaining
three of the leading figures in the
Wilson administration. Both Vice
President Marshall asd Secretary OF
the Treasury McAdoo have engage
ments in the State during Aay.1 Vice
President Marshall is going to Green's
boro Nav 90 to deliver the address
at the commencement exercises OF
the State Normal SEd Industrial col
lege. Secretary McAdoo is going to
Chapel Hill May 81 to deliver the
address for the commencement exer-
cises of the University Of North Caro-
lima.
All three speeches will be watched
by the nation with an unusuai degree
of interest, coming as they will in
the three weeks Immediately proceed
ing the Democratic convention at St.
Louis. These will probably be the
only speeches of consequence de-
livered by these men between this and
the convention, and may be expected
to sum up the achievements of the
Democratic administration, and in a
very large way set the campaign in
progress.

slowed.

Wednesday was Memorial Day
|, ,Newberry was invaded and surrend-
cred with splendid grace 70 soldiery
that ,nronged her streets. They were
the soldiers of half century ago and
the weight of age bore heavily upon
them as they trudged along; but
there was no sign of WEAKNESS IN
their faces for the same indomitable
will and courage that bore them up
under the hardships Of camp life and
the fare and flash of the guns of bat
tie, still lives within them and en-
ables them to bear with the same for
titude the infrmities Of age.
AS has been the custom for many
years the old vets were given sump-
tuous dinner, a-.d as usual they are
loud in their praise of the good things
to eat and those who provided it. 1t
is always plentiful and just what the
"old boys" can heartily relish. The
dinner this yer was given in the Nc
Caughrin block next door to the Fri
day Motor Co. and 1S7 vets were ad-
mitted. A fifty gallon barrel of lem
onade was served to the diners and
on the street near the Commercial
bank there was tank of ice water
and Glider & Weeks posted bull
letin ordering the old vets to come in
to their fountain and drink fully and
freely and without price.
I The address was delivered in the
opera house by Col u. R. Brooks OF
Columbia. He was introduced by
Major ]. F. J. Caldwell and spoke at
considerable length from manuscript
The address was largely historical
and contained fattering references
to many of Newberry's sons who
helped to make glorious the history
OF the State among her sister States.
An attractive program had been ar
ranged and was carried out. A num-
her of crosses were awarded and the
prize for the best essay on the wal
was awarded to Miss Irene + Int. The
choir sang few numbers of South
ern airs that added good deal of In
spiration to the occasion. The school
children bearing wreaths and flowers
marched from the various school
Ix1ildings and literally buried the
Eonfederate monument with them.
This was one of the most beautiful
and impressive events of the day.

NEW FIRE ALARM
TEST NOT SATISFACTORY

The new electric fire. alarm has
arrived and was given a test Monday
morning. between nine and ten
o'clock. The alarm is received on ap-
proval. 1t is the understanding the
city has with the company that the
whistle is to be given thorough test
and then if it comes up to representa-
tons and requirements it will be ac-
cepted and paid for. If it is unsatis-
factory after the tests have been
made then the company takes it back
without expense to the town.
The tSst made Mcaday morning was
not satisfactory as very few people
heard it at all. This was cue to the
fact no doubt that the instrument
was near the ground being loaded on
a wagon near Summer Bros. corner
and hence the sound waves were ab-
structed and broken by the surround
ing buildings. Before any more tests
are made the outfit will be hoisted to
the top of high building where there
will be plenty of air room for the
monster to roar and scream. The
whistle is driven by five horse power
electric motor.
