BETTER TIDINGS
FROM PRESIDENT

Washington, Oct. 8.-President
Wilson's condition improved again
today and his appetite, the failure of
which has been one of the serious
drawbacks to his recovery, showed a
decided change toward normal. So far
has he progressed that his two mar
ried daughters, Mrs. William McAdoo
of New York, and Mrs. Frances B.
Sayre, of Cambridge, Mass, who
came to his bedside several days ago,
returned to their homes tonight after
consultation with the presidents ply
sicians.
Mr.. Grayson and the other physi-
clans showed decided inclination to
guard against over optimism as they
believe another setback still is within
the range of possibility. They con-
tinued Mr.. Wilson's confinement to
bed and kept official business away
from him.
Rear Admiral Grayson, the presi-
dents personal physician, at 10
o'clock tonight issued the following
bulletin:
"The president has had comfort
able day and is slightly impromed."
Messages of solicitude and sympa-
thy continued to pour in to the White
House from President Porras Of Pan
anna:
"With the greatest pleasure we see
by today's cable about the improve
ment in your health. We crave it
will be a turning for the best"

At $2,029,366.7 IS

Columbia, Oct. 8.-The plant, e.
ouipment and lands of Winthrop Col
lege, at Rock Hill, are inventoried at
S2,O29,366.76, according to the re-
port made by DR.. D. B. Johnson,
president of the institution to the

Of this amount $1,1s1, 500 isfor col
lege buildings, s424,645 for lands,
s4O1,721 for equipment and $21,500
for farm buildings. 3D..
In letter to Governor Cooper, DR..
Johnson explains that the inventory
does not include the new dormitory
and students buildings, which are in
course of construction. He likewise
shows that, since the schools founda-
ton in 1886 to June 80, 1919, the
State of South Carolina has appro-
priated only s4S7,3O1.17.
To secure the college in 1886 Rock
Hill contributed 100000 and thirty
acres of land on which the institution
is situated, and this latter has great
ly increased in value, explained the
college president.

SENATE AGREES ON
PROHIBITION BILL

Washington, Oct. 8.-Without
debate or a opposing vote the senate
today agreed to the conference re-
port on the prohibition enforcement
bill.
The bill was passed as house con-
ferees agreed to it, and prohibition
leaders expect the lower body OF
approve the measure without delay.
All beverages containing over one
half of one per cent alcohol are
banned by the bill. The measure is
modified in many respects from the
original form in which it passed the
house.
Absence of debate on the measure
occasioned much surprise.
Senator Sterling, Republican,
South Dakota, called up the con-
ference agreement, and after a pause
to learn if any discussion was de-
sired, Vice President Marshall put
the motion on adoption, and it was
carried viva voce without an audible
vote.

LABOR CONFERENCE
HOLDS BRIEF MEET
All Groups Are Now Ready to ee'
Down to Business-Showdown is
Now Probable-Endeavor to
Bring Labor and Capital To-
sether in Compromise.

Washington, Oct. S.-After three
davs spent in organization, the indus
trial conference called by President
Wilson will come to showdown to-
morrow on the business to be trans
acted.
Only brief session was held TO-
day adjournment being taken to per-
NIT the groups representing capital
labor and the public to formulate
such suggestions and proposals as
tbev wish to submit for consideration
None was ready for submission today
except the preamble of a resolution
10 be introduced by Charles S. Bar
rett, of Georgia, representing the
farmers union. The resolution Will
demand a comprehensive national
agricultural policy. The preamble as
serted the farmers were not being
given due consideration in the pres
en- conference and the failure OF any
attempt to settle national questions
without the consent of the agrlcul-
trial element of the population was
predicted.
All the groups were busy after ad-
iournm aat considering suggestions OF
their members to be submitted to the
conference. Apparently with an
agreed unanimity of action not other
wise characterizing the deliberations,
the three groups refused to discuss
specifically what was under discus
sion or what would be presented to
the conference. Each group was
understood to be ready with definite
proposals on industrial problems at
fecting domestic peace, the labor
group especially having a complete
program already formulated, it was
reported, but each seemingly was
waiting to see what the others were
going to do before showing its own
hand.

 Gods supreme purpose is the welfare of the human race. He seeks mans highest de- velopment by sharing His plans and work with him.
 God has appointed three agencies in the redemption of the world: His Son, the Holy Spirit, and Christian men. When this plan fails it is because man has failed to do his work. Jesus has finished his work, the Holy Spirit waits mans co-opera- tion."

FIVE "" MEN GET
 CROIx DE GUERRE
Of Two Latest to Receive Great
 Honor, One Wounded by Shell.


 According to cablegram from France Henry Wharton of Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, Pa, the president of a coal company in that city, and Benton V. Johnson, a real estate man of Detroit, Mich, both Y. NJ. c. A. workers in France, have been decorat- ed with the croix de guerre. General Petain himself presented them. Their decorations increased to five the num- Der of Y. Nj. C. A. workers receiving the croix de guerre.
 Their citations. which were given to them at general headquarters, com mended the two for their work under shell fire with the Twenty-sixth divi- sion, and especially mentioned their zeal and devotion in carrying aid to the wounded under a very violent bombardment."
 Both men have followed their divi- sion. which has been in the thickest of the fighting, to several fronts. They worked as stretcher bearers in the Foul sector, at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne woods. Their job was to carry the wounded through the trenches, often several hundred yards. until it was possible to leave the trench for the road, where they put them on stretchers and carried them under fire to the dressing station.
 While engaged in this work last summer MT. Johnson was wounded by shell fragments and forced to spend two weeks in the hospital. He re- ceived his former citation for his services at this time.
