STRONGLY OPPOSED
TO TILLMAN'S BILL

Bethlehem Steel Corporation Would
Hate to See Uncle Sam Making Ar
NOR.
New York, March 19-The annual
report Of the Bethlehem Steel Corpora
ton for 1915, issued today, disclosed
that net earnings of the corporation
and it's subsidiaries after deducting ex-
penditurcs were $24,S21 ,4OS, compared
with $9,649,667 in 1914, an increase Of
nearly 260 per cent. Orders on hand
December 81, 1915, were $175, 5,432, ,S95,
against $46,513,1S9 the previous year.
A statement by Charles NJ. Schwab,
chairman Of the board, and e. G..
Grace, the president, declared that to
day there exists an actual shortage Of
steel-making capacity in this country"
An interesting feature was the state
ment that the average number Of en-
ployees Of the company in the United
States had increased from 1886 in
1914 to 22,064 in 1915, and that wages
paid in 1915 amounted to $21 800 ,664,
as against $14,312,94S the previous
year.
Calling attention to the bill pending
in Congress for the building of a Gov
ernment armor plate plant, Messrs
Schwab and Grace declared that if
such bill Is passed the value Of eX-
listing armor plate plants in this coun-
try will be virtually destroyed" The
Bethlehem Steel Corporation it was
stated, now has more than $1,000, 900
invested in. its plant devoted to this
use.
Recognizing that though the inter
csts of your property had been care
fully conserved by your officers on a
matter OF this kind" said the report
your corporation also has an impor-
tant obligation to the nation Of which
it is a citizen. Your officers have ap-
peared before the Senate committee on
naval affairs and urged the defeat of
the pending measure. AS it is frankly
declared that the sole purpose of the
proposed enterprise is that the govern
ment may secure its armor at a lower
price, your officers have submitted the
following proposition to the federal
governments:
I'VE will agree to permit any we'll
known firm or chartered public ac-
countant to inventory our plant and
make careful estimates OF the cost OF
manufacture: with that data in hand
We will meet with the Secretary of
the Navy and agree to manufacture
armor at a price which will be entire
~ satisfactory to the Secretary Of the
Navy as being quite as low as the
possibly manufacture armor on it's
| own account, after taking into account
all proper charges. AS a concrete
| working basis for such negotiations
| lllc loctulcllcHl Eoltcl SOHlUdly mas Vi
| fcrcd to manufacture one-third Of the
armor plate required for the cOntem-
plated five-year naval programme, es-
timated at approximately 100000 tons)
for a price of S395 per ton for said
armor, as compared with the price OF
Sl25 per ton now obtaining.
"'lt may be added that while all
other steel prices have greatly in
creased the foregoing figure at which
We now offer TO make armor for the
United States is not only lower price
;han has been paid by the government
for more than ten years, but ii is al
SO a substantially lower price than is
paid for armor by Japan, Austria, Ger,
many, France or England

The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1916-03-22

From the viewpoint Of The Enqui-
rer, Mr.. Cooper has just as much right
to enter the race for governor this
year as he had two years ago, and as
much right as Mr.. Manning or Mr..
Blease Also we do not mind saying
that we are glad Mr.. Cooper has seen
proper to enter. We have no obJec-
ton to Il governor serving two terms
If the people want him, or three for
that matter; but we do not want a
governor to serve a second term or a
third term, unless the people do want
him. To find out what the people
want, they must have the opportunity
to express themselves, and to do that
they must have choice Of candidates
No matter how many candidates there
may be in the race, 1t is the purpose
of The Enquirer to try to treat them
all as fairly as possible.-Yorkyllle

Shutting Up the Shop.

1t Is rather surprising to the foreign
er visiting South American countries
for the first time to find most of the
best and prettiest shops almost Her
metically sealed at night. If the build
ing is of the older style of construc
ton the heavy shutters are closed and
locked by iron bars; if more modern
building, the flexible sliding doors and
Windows are completely drawn, and
the passerby can see nothing within
the shop.
All is darkness save the light of the
street lamps no brilliantly lighted
windows help to add cheer and bright
ness to the street.
In European and American cities the
average merchant Is willing to spend
money freely for nightly display of
his wares and merchandise He real
ICES and appreciates the publicity.
The evening crowds upon our streets
are highly entertained and even in
structed by window displays of the
busy streets.
Herein lies the difference for, as
a rule, the South American streets,
busy and attractive during the day,
are quite the reverse at night. Even
in some of the larger cities the old
custom of Theoretically sealing the
shop at night prevails.

ANIMALS WARNED OF DANGER
Signal to Each Other by Well-Under-
stood Sounds--Eiephants' Trum-
peting Carries Far.

Animals in their wild state have
strange ways of warning their own
species of danger. Rabbits, when star
tied at strange noises stamp hard on
the ground with their hind feet.
Other rabbits, peculiarly sensitive to
hearing this noise, are thus warned
and scurry to safety. When a lion
r0ars in its native land those roarS
are said to vary according to the ami
mails instinct for seeing danger. A
lions roar will reverherate to an ex-
traOrdinary distance, and will SEM
the smallest animals, such as mon
keys, various species of little deer
birds and lizards Scuttling away to
some places of safety. The elephant,
when hunted, very often sets up Il
shrill trumpeting which carries for
miles to other elephants who may not
be pursued. But they hear it, and
are Immediately on the alert. When
Il herd of elephants are stampeding
the sound Of their laundering gallOp
Is so tremendous that it carries for
miles. Small wild animals have been
seen to stand and culver all over quite
suddenly, then bolt. They have heard
the thunder Of the herd Of elephants,
and know their danger.

rVe-Shattering Story.

Writing of Henry James In the Yale
Review William Lyon Phelps says
that he found 'The Turn of the Screw"
the most nerve Shattering ghost story
he mad ever read. With none of the
conventional machinery of the melo-
drama, with no background of horrible
or threatening scenery, with no hys-
terical language, this story made my
blood chill, my spine curl and every
individual hair to stand on end.
When l told the author exactly how
| felt while reading it, and thanked
him for giving me sensations that |
thought no author could give me at
my age, he said that he was made
happy by my testimony.
For" said he, II meant to scare the
whole world with that story; and you
had precisely the emotion that hoped
TO arouse in everybody. When wrote
it l was too i'll to hold the pen;
therefore dictated the whole thing to
a Scot stenOgrapher. | was glad to
try this experiment for believed that
| should be able to judge Of its eff.
feet on the whole world by its effect
on the man who should hear it first,
Judge of my dismay when from first
to last page this iron Scot betrayed
not the slightest shade of feeling
l dictated to him sentences that |
thought would make him leap from
his chair; he Shorthanded them as
though they had been geometry, and
Whenever | paused to see him collapse
he would inquire in Il dry voice, What
