South Carolina is the best locality in
the world for people of limited means
to live, but if we attract people we
must show the world that ours laws
will be justly enforced. Mr.. Dial re-
ferred to the great benefit to be de-
rived from the Federal Reserve and
the land banks, enabling men of very
limited means to purchase a farm on
long time at a low rate of interest.
He stated that he built the second
bonded ware house that was erected
in South Carolina and that he favors
bonded warehouse for products OF
the soil like those in which whiskey
is stored. He also favors an increased
number of merchant vessels. Mr.. Dl-

ING first. He stated that there IS but
one real issue before the American
people and that is war. President Will
son kept America out of the war as
long as he could do it honorably. Mr..
Evans stated that the only criticism
he had to make of Nh. Byrnes is that
he voted against the draft act. He
defended the selective service law
upon the ground that it falls upon
all alike-white and colored-rich
and poor. All are forced to do their
bit under this law. Had the volunteer
system such as Mr.. Byrnes advocated

have raised an army of 100000 men
by this time. He defended England,
stating that had it not been for her
powerful navy no market could have

Evans expressed the belief that the
war would last four years and that

asleep in the cab which the "miser"
had called.

SUSPENSION OF WAR INDUSTRY
PLANTS THREATENED AND FLOR
IDA MUST FURNISH OVER FOUR
THOUSAND MEN.

Tallahassee, Aug. 1e.-H. S. How
ard, executive secretary of the State
Council of Defense, has received a
strong appeal from the labor depart
ment at Washington calling attention
to the fact that the big labor day has
come. The final tabulations of labor
demands show a present shortage OF
one million unskilled 1aborers in war
industries with a tremendous addi-
tional shortage coming as soon as the
new army draft expansion increases
the need for supplies.
The skilled labor situation is equal
ly serious. Attention is called to the
fact that Georgia was notified yester-
day that unless the state could furnish
the eight million dollar picric acid
plant at Brunswick with five thous-
and laborers at once the entire con-
struction force would be laid off and
the plant moved out of Georgia. The
MidvaIe steel plant, at Coatsville, Va.
has been forced to shut down a part
of its plant for lack of labor. The de-
mand must be met and orders are be-
ing sent to Florida for men for the
work.
Men cannot be taken from farms.
railroads or mines.
No matter how private business may
suffer. unless the demand for labor is
met the new army will be faced by

GAVE CONCERT AT
NAVAL AIR STATION

A group of Pensacola people went
to the Naval Air Station last night
and gave a very enjoyable concert at
the Y. NJ C. A. building. The program,
which was given under the auspices

was as follows:
Violin solo: Gipsy Dance, Wier;
The Rain, Holm, Mr.. Max Heinberg,
accompanied by Miss Paula Herskovitf1

Like a Rose, Miss Lillian Macdonald,
accompanied by Miss Eula Williams.

Ann, Bishop Miss Media Taylor. Violin
solo: 1 Hear You Calling Me, Humor-
esque, Dvorak. Mrs. Regina Margs, ac-
companied by Miss Herskovitz. Violin
Duet. Good Night, Nevin, Mrs. Marks
and Mr.. Heinberg.
The program was unusually strong.
Mrs. Marks playing is that of finish
ed artist. Miss Tay1or's recitation was
one for which she recently won med
al. and it was received with much
applause. Miss Macdonald is always
a favorite at these programs, and Mr.
Max Heinberg's skilfu1 and spirited
playing brought forth enthusiastic
applause

HERR ZIMMERMAN, IN THE PRUs-
SIAN YEAR BOOK, TELLS HOW
DARK CONTINENT is TO BE IL
LuMINED BY LIGHT OF KULTURE.

Amsterdam, Aug. 1s.-visions OF a
central African empire are now troub-
ling the German statesmen.
Herr Zimmerman, former foreign
secretary of American bomb plot and
Mexican imbroglio notoriety, says in
the Prussian Yearbook on the subject
of Africa:
I'm the heart of Africa there are
met with all the conditions necessary
for the creation of a German colonial
empire. There are fertile regions
sparsely populated and containing an
abundance of raw material
In these rich territories there may
be constituted a compact Germanic
group which will not run the risk OF
absorption by foreign nations. as is
the case in the United States and in
Brazil. In Central Africa, 100000 Ger
mans will find a free field of enter
prise, and they can easily find 50,000.-
900 negroes from the Congo basin to
work for them.
"a splendid fleet will float on the
waters of this river and OF its afflu-
ents Roads, canals, and railways will
be created. On thie banks of Lake
Chad, Of the Congo, and the Tangan-
yika great cities will arise; Wilhelm
stadt will take the place of Brazza-
vile. A fine railway, the Berlin-Congo
line, will convey passengers to the Con-
go In five days.
IN another decade the German colo
NAL empire will not alone compete
with, but even surpass in every re-
spect, the unstable empire of Great
Britain
This visionary African empire is al
so floating before the eyes Of Der
Tag" which says:
germany is notably an ideal colo
nizing power, at once prudent, broad
minded, and humane. Hence the ne
groes of our colonies remain deeply
attached to us even in days of trouble.
..Such an attachment is unknown
among the oppressed people groaning
under the heel of other colonizing pow
ers This touching devotion of our
colored subjects is one OF the reasons
that Justifies US in claiming the, COM
plete restoration Of our colonial DO
minions."
