New York. Sept. 9.--America vel
coined General Pershing home. Hon
ored by foreign rulers and govern.
ments, the commander ln-chief Of the
mightiest army that ever fought Its
way TO victory under the Stars and
Stripes, returned 10 his own folk to
meet a greater honor than any for
eign potentate or power could confer
the thanks OF the worlds greatest
democracy to the man who had
planned the decisive blow in democ.
racy's supreme fight against tyranny.
The stern-faced soldier who had
maintained his iron self-control amid
the shambles Of the Mouse and the
bleod-drenched forest Of ArgOnne was
not proof against the tribute Of praise
and gratitude which was roared from
hundreds Of thousands Of throats and
the hearts Of his fellow citizens.
His voice trembled with emotion AZ
he responded to the greetings extend.
ed by Secretary Of War Baker In his
own behalf and that Of the President
as well as the welcoming addresses OF
representatives OF the Senate and
House, the state and city.
As his car passed slowly through
the cheering multitudes which jammed
the roadway from the Battery to the
city hall, Pershing attempted In vain
10 maintain his composure. At first
he replied to the cheers with the stiff
salute which military etiquette de-
mands, but he was soon carried away
by the storm Of applause which swept
In great gusts about him. Rising to
his feet, he waved his cap above his
head with boyish gesture which told
how deeply he was stirred, while the
grim lines OF his bronzed face broke
into smile which was as infectious
AS II was rare.
"The American 'doughboy' Is the
finest soldier In the world. and it
didn't take the Germans long to find
II ont" declared General Pershing In
an interview granted newspaper men.
I'VE boosted little probably of the
peculiar qualities Of the American
fighting man, but his aggressiveness,
initiative and devotion AS member
OF the American expedltionary forces
gives us every right to boast and to be
proud Of him." the commander said.
Il suppose ii is because Of the way
the American boy is raised. due to the
: fact that he is encouraged TO develop
his initiative and that he feels ut any
crisis Of his life that he is master Of
his own destiny"

principles for which the President

not be party to a division Of Ger

been added to the real property in
South Carolina since 1914. according
to the annual report OF the State tax
commission to the general assembly,
which is now ready for distribution.
The report says 1t is true that a
large part OF this increase is due to
new or added property, but also a
large part is on account of assess
ments being equalized with such 9TH
er properties, as well as adding prop
erty which has escaped taxation. The
report continues with the statement
that, acting under the statute, in 1918,
1t went into the equalization of farm
lands in the State, and here il was
found that very great inequalities ex-
listed among the various counties OF
the State. "In some few counties the
assessment OF lands was fair and rea-
sonable," said the report, "but in 9TH
ers, some OF the larger and richer
counties, it was assessed at very
low percentage OF its real value.

NO REASON WHY BUSINESS
SHOULD BE BAD IN SPRING.

Washington Government officials
here see no reason why business
should not be good in the early
spring. Members OF the federal trade
commission. who keep their fingers on
the pulse OF industry in the United
States, believe that by the middle OF
June the entire nation will be busy.
This belief is based on the demand
for rcontruction material and sup
plies.
Reporter troubles between labor
and employers come from some com.
munities. Many employers are reduc-
ing wages. This is met with protests
from workmen, who claim that the
high cost of living has not been re-
duced
North Carolina and South Carolina
seem to be in fair shape. The fall
in the price Of cotton is hurting those
farmers who held 1t. Cotton mills
who had war orders were hit hard
and suddenly when the armistice was
signed. but there are signs Of new
life.
