America VIII Encounter Keen Connie.
tition When Conditions are Restored
to Normal.
London. Dec l3.-Sir Albert Stan
ley, president of the board of trade
was entertained at dinner last night
by the officers and directors OF the
American Chamber Of Commerce. His
address dealt largely with conditions
after the war.
The government he said, was giving
serious attention to trade problems
which would confront England after
the war for which she must be pre-
pared before the conflict ends
America would find Il stronger and
kcencr competitor in England after
the war, the speaker said. He added:
"This Is not challenge We are
willing to pit our nine against your
nine, or any other nine IL we have Il
fair umpire, but are not willing to
play against another team with crook
ed umpiring and with the blcachers
packed, every man with a brick in his
pocket"
Sir Albert spoke Of the German poli-
cy Of peaceful penetration" Of the
industries OF other countries as a poll
cy under which every agent Of German
trade was backed by machine gun.
He expressed the strongest conviction
that the allies would win although 1t
might be long war.

We want next year to be the banner
year of South Carolina's food produc-
ton. The high cost of living during
the last few years has stimulated an
interest in vegetable gardening and the
housewife realizes as never before the
real value of a kitchen garden. AL
though the garden produces more real
profit per acre than any other portion
OF the farm, 1t is usually the first to be
neglected.
Vegetables and fruits furnish a large
part or the essential salts which are
absolutely necessary to the wcll-being
OF the human system, so that the value
of vegetables in the diet is a great deal
more than the mere food or money
value. The need of tonics ana other
medicines in the spring is due largely
to the lack of vegetables and fruit i'm

Stearns is perhaps the only town in the United

chapter of Genesis. When the town was founded

Near jamestown, Tenn, the tourist can trail, if

among the very things he predicted would come to
pass upon his $4,000 acres" as detailed by Mark
Twain in the opening chapter of s"The Gilded

is the contrast between reputation and character.
The scene Of that first chapter of "The Gilded
Age" is laid in the Tennessee Lands which be-
Ionged to the father of Mark Twain. Of them he
said they .had reputation like Nazareth as far
as turning out anything good was concerned"
These lands are turning out many good thing
apples, for one, superior to those Of any other

Road building is going with that intensity
which follows a long period of inactivity. Until
recently the mountaineers have been content to
follow mere trails, and mule paths at times, but the
wave of development which has come among them
from the outside has stimulated them to build
roads that compare with any.
