The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1916-09-30

Baltimore. Sept. 25.-President
Wilson delivered a speech almost de-
void of politics before the National
Grain Dealers convention here today.
Discussing ways in which American
commerce can be expanded, he told
an audience of $500 people that
through the new tariff commission,
the trade commission, the federal
reserve act, the shipping bill and
similar measures he expected busi-
ness men in this country to open a
new era for the nation.
"The purpose of legislation in the
Immediate future in this country"
Mr.. Wilson declared, "is going to be
to remove all ingenious constructions
and make perfectly clear what the
liberties as we'll as what the restric-
tions of trade are in this country"
Every effort was made by the pres
ident to keep the visit to Baltimore
non-partisan, but when he entered
the Lyric theatre for his speech he
was greeted with a four minute DEM
onstration which kept him bowing
again and again. A band playing
Dixie" and other popular tunes add
ed to the din of the cheering and
handclapping. The theatre was pack
ed with grain dealers from all parts
Of the country and their friends and
many visitors were turned away.
The president spoke emphatically and
several exclamation points, usually
missing in his addresses, were found
In the official copy of his speech.

BREAD PRICE INVESTIGATION.

Washington. Sept 26.-The Federal
trade commission Is seriously concern
ed over reports Of actual increases In
bread prices In various parts of the
country. The apparent certainty of
q nationwide increase In food prices
made 1t clear to the federal authori-
ties that consideration of the prob.
lem must be fastened. The commits
sion reassembles next week to take up
the bread situation. Commissioners
Davies announced that the whole
problem will be taken up and q solu-
tion sought. Federal district attorn-
eys are reporting the actual ad-
vances In their districts. The simil-
arity of the advances in different
cities creates the belief that the anti
trust law may be violated.

Great Benefit Derived From Having
Expert Grader Supplied by Gov
crnment-Cotton Marketing Asso-
ciation Formed.
st. Matthews. Sept. 22.-At q meet
ing held here yesterday addressed by
Congressman Lever and participated
in by a number Of cotton producers,
1t was decided to form cotton mar
keting association at this place. The
association is to have an expert fur
nished by the government, whose
work and services are to bear no
burden upon the patrons of the as
ISOLATION save small incidentals.
Congressman Lever went fully into
the matter Of the marketing of cot
ton In an intelligent way. He pref
aced his remarks by showing that
the cotton producer is almost helpless
when he goes to market and offers for
sale the product Of his labor. That
the producer Is q heavy loser simply
because Of ignorance Of the value Of
his cotton was shown. He stated that
the average buyer Of cotton was no
expert and could be depended upon to
Grade .esss with as much precision as
he graded the cotton he sold. and that
many buyers sraded low upon their
bids In order to protect themselves
upon resale on the markets.
If an onicial expert grader were on
the spot. said Mr.. Lever, the seller
would not lose the difference between
actual value on the quotations Of the
day ana tho price paid presumably on
those quotations. That many men
are lining their pockets In this way
wis Z suggestion thrown out to the
audience.
= Mr.. Lever explained the appropria-
tion Of $4,000 by congress Tor the
purpose Of establishing q proper sys-
tenn OF standard grades in connection
With the bureau of marketing. In ad-
dition TO this. there IL now pending
2 bill which will establish board of
arbitration. which WI, .ett,s a,f,.,

these meetings
Right after the European war start
cd about six big county meetings were
held under Chamber of Commerce
ssrices to organise cotton holding as
sociations. and to organize for diver
sincation Of crops.
Those six meetings had big crowds
Of farmers when the conditions look
% serious. But as go,n as cotton got
back to ten cents q pound or more,
and tho money market eased up the
farmers became indifferent about or
ganisation or associated efforts.
Ssmter pays AZ much for cotton as
any cotton market In South Carolina;
that has been proved and can be
proved again. But IL government
grader In needed. and I believe an ex-
pert cotton. grader will prove Of val
ne. and so will cotton selling asso-
citation. why the Sumter merchants
and bankers will help out the cot
ton producers because what helps the
farmers certainly helrs every Sumter
bank and other business establish
ments. But the leading and infiuen-
tiai farmers Of this county should
come to the front and help the Cham
ber of Commerce organize. or try to
orssnixe the farmers. then uae the
sumter banks and the sumter Cham.

INMATE OF SCHOOL
TELLS OF FLOGGING
Beaten on Bare Back. Says James
McFarlane.

At q meeting of the committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce, appointed by
President p. T. Moran to investigate the
alleged fioggings of inmates Of the Ma
tional Training School for Boys, yester-
day afternoon, 1t was decided to hold an
other meeting next Thursday to gather
further evidence.
One witness, Mrs. Annie L. Torney, ap-
peared in person before the committee
and testified that she had been shown
through the institution and seen the rub
; ber hose with which 1t Is alleged the boys
are flogged by the guards for trivial Of
fences. She said the guard who showed
her through stated the boys were laid
across a bench when the punishment was
administered.
Mrs. Augustus II. Walker submitted an
affidavit containing substantially the
same testimony which she gave to The
Washington Herald and which was pub
lished Wednesday. Mrs. Walker was a
matron at the institution for six years.
Mrs. Torney stated to the committee
that she had seen boys made to stand in
line with their arms folded, for minor
| infractions of the rules, until they
dropped from exhaustion. And when
! they dropped. she said, they were threat
ened with hogging.
The first affidavit read was that Of
James McFarlane. for four years an in
mate of the school. He characterized the
| fioggings as brutal and of a cruel nature.
He testified that the boys were stripped
to the waist when they were whipped.
All blows that hit below the knees. said
McFarlane. were counted as fouls" and
| were repeated.
'"The Chamber of Commerce" said Col.
John G. Capers, chairman OF the COM
mittee. "is merely acting as an investi-
gator and not as a prosecutor. We wish
to find out to an absolute certainty that
these alleged practices exhist. For this
purpose We intend hearing testimony
| from as many witnesses as possible. We
will then present this testimony to the
! trustees of the institution and get their
view of the matter Then We wilr make
our recommendations to the Chamber
OF Commerce"
