Washington.-In a review OF the
business cols1itions of the country, the
Federal Reserve Board in the October
issue of it's bulletin, finds that the
American people are enjoying pros
perity that is not only nationwide but
absolutely sound.
From every Federal Reserve. district
In the United States similar repore
comes. Farming, manufacturing az
porting, importing wholesale and retail
conditions arc found to be generally
satisfactory, as they are reflected in
the banking operations of the Federal
Reserve banks and their branches.
Reports from the Richmond -Balti-
more district declare that the States In
this region are unusually active along
industrial and commercial lines. The
exports from Baltimore for August, for
instance, are shown to have been $15D-
OOO, 900 over the same month last year,
an increase that is regarded as re-
markable.
Referring to some of the purely do
timore district, the report says:
Virginia report a shorter yield OF
corn than that of last yer. The early
paintings produced very good crops. In
North Carolina weather conditions
caused marked deterioration of late
corn. Higher prices of farm products
prevail generally.
Splendid results may be expected
in the tobacco sections Of this district.
In Virginia, with smaller crops, leaf TO-
bacco is practically so per cent. higher
in value West Virginia reports an in
creased production of $500, 900 pounds,
with grades usually high and with
splendid curing weather.
IAN increase in the live stock OF the
entire district is reported. Not only
have the farmers acquired more cattle
and hogs, evidently with desire to
profit by diversifcation, but the I'M
portation of beef stock has been re-
ported and an increased demand for
improved stock. This has led to some
activity in lands suitable for grazing
West Virginia reports a good Inn
provement in prices of coal and the
tendency of buyers, both foreign and
domestic, to bid for longer contracts.
Three-year contracts have been closed

Kitchener Wheat

Some years ago Lord Kitchener's
mnme was given to a kind Of wheat
that was introduced by him into South
Africa. The story is told In the Daily
London Chronicle. While Kitchener
was in India some of the acQuaint-
ances he had made in South Africa
wrote to him that their wheat was Suf-
fering from rust and that they had
heard that Tibetan wheat was immune
from this disease. Could he send
them q few bushels? He sent the
wheat and that was an end OF the
matter, as he thought.
Some years afterward he was at
NairOhi, and saw a few acres OF
growing wheat, named Kitchener
wheat. He learned that the seed had
come from a part Of South Africa,
1000 miles distant-the offspring Of
the marriage of his Tibetan wheat
with native varIety. $50" said Lord

aThe Hidden Scar

No one ever passes through life
scarless, and usually when the tWi-
light of life daWns upon US we looh
upon our scars as medals, won IN
the battle of life.
Sometimes as We journey on, con-
ditions for which We are not always
responsible, mark US, so to speak, WSSn
scars that we would hide from our
friends. Some call it Fate, others call
is Destiny, while the big, broadshould-
cred man or the level-headed little
woman, call it Imagination. Again.
there are a few who look upon these
scars with a feeling Of horror. These
few may be in the minority, but the
power of their opinions often makes
a mountain of mole-hill. There Is
a scorching path in life, and there
are many who travel it in search OF
happiness. AS a result there comes
a time when they seek to hide the
scar. All things considered, The

sections OF the county, have gone 70

negroes against whom there seems to

Yesterday Mr. Harrison had trouoie
with a drunken negro, who stood IN
the road as Mr.. Harrelson was return

mass. Mr.. HARRISON threatened him
with the law. Today; however, the
negro came to Mr.. Harrelson ana
apolosized, the matter apparently
being cleared up.
Late this evening While MT. Haf-
relson was waiting on several negroes
who had come to his commissary near
Pleasant Hill church, seven miles
from Dillon, he was attacked and
beaten to death with some blunt In
strument. The motive was apparnt-
ly robbery. The slayers went through
his clothes and took all the money
he had with him. Mrs. Herrelson e1-
planned that her husband was known
TO carry from $50 to $40 in his pock-
ct all the time, and it was pronaoiS
for this that the negroes killed him.
Mrs. Harrelson, who was in the
house alone, was beset By a negro
vhom she recognized: Htsfs mission
evidently was to prevent her from
giving an alarm. He struck her over

EN:ARGO on FOODSTUFFS
TO FIGHT ENGLISH
Also to Assist Our Own PeOple-Un-
derstood That President Wilson and
Cabinet Are opposed to Embarg"
Proposal.

Washington. Nov. 22.-Representa
tive Fitzgerald Democrat, chairman
o. the house appropriation committee,
announced today that he favored all
@ alargo on foodstuffs and that it was
his purpose to prepare bill and to
press the subject early in the coming
session Of congress.
Two reasons chiefly impel ME to
favor embargo legislation on food
stuffs," said Mr.. Fitzgerald. ut Is
the most effective weapon in our con
t~ayersy with Great Britain over her
unwarranted, outrageous and lndeten-
sible blacklist of American merchants.
AS our foodstuffs are needed abroad
! an embargo will be more effective than
weary months of diplomatic negotia-
tions which end in the continuance OF
the indefensible practices against our
rights.
"The embargo also should be i'm
posed for purely domestic reasons.
The prices of foodstuffs have reached
levels that are bringing widespread
distress to the country. Many hum
dreds of thousands of our people are
suffering from the lack of the neces-
sites of life. Wholesale prices IN
MANY commodities are less abroad
than they were a year ago; here the
retail prices have advanced alarm
ingly.
"The argument that nothing should
be done to interfere With the expan-
sion of our foreign trade does not i'm
press me. Of what profit it is if our
foreign trade IS to grow with leaps
and bounds Will oure own people are
brought to the verge of starvation as
result of it.
'SThe time is ripe for the embarso
and 1 hope to see legislation speedily
enacted to impose it. Let America
be for Americans first
It seems to be generally agreed here
that the coming session of congress
will see fight over the embargo pro-
posal, which is backed by monster Pc
titions signed by thousands of persons
and organizations.
President Wilson and the caolne5
are understood to oppose it.
