consider Charleston a distributing
point, pure and simple? Do they con-
slider Charleston an industrial city or
an agricultural city? Take for ex-
ample the vessels that call at this
port for cargoes of coal. The coal is
hauled in here by the railroads and
hauled out by vessels, leaving in our
pocketbooks nothing but the fees for
the handling of the coal.
Several days ago a member OF
your society asked me concerning
the start of some activity towards
future utilization of the great Port
Terminal buildings as warehouses,
and I said to him, and for your in
formation, would say that it is up
to all of us to further such activities
tending towards increasing the pro-
duction of commodities which would
REQUIRE the utilization Of the termi-
nal buildings for storing such COM
modities.
Do the business men of Charleston
possessing one of the best harbors
in the South Atlantic States and
needing only cargoes for export to
bring ship and money to them from
all parts of the world, realize the
potential wealth in live stock and
agricultural production at their back
door awaiting developments to per-
manently supply such cargoes!
Do they realize what this great
empire of wonderful lands at their
very doors means to them or have
they tried to so organize their har-
Dor facilities as to impress on the
farmers and landowners in South
Carolina the possibilities OF higher
prices and better markets, which the
wonderful opportunities in near wa
ter transportation afford?
Do they realize that Charleston's
water transportation facilities bring
the South Carolina farmer nearer
the markets of the world than the
farmers of Ohio and Indiana or
Iowa, and that it is their duty to see
to it that the South Carolina farm
er accordingly receives a higher
market price for his hogs and cattle
and hay and potatoes than the CHI
cago market offers?
South Carolina has 100000 acres
of rich, fertile, idle lands, S,5OO,OOO
acres of which are cut-over lands
and 100000 acres of land that need
drainage. She is producing less than
one-auarter of the hive stock and
about the same proportion of farm
products that Iowa is producing.
If you would bring to South Car
olina, whose soil and climate are bet
ter adapted than Iowa's to livestock
and agricultural production, Iowa's

CANADA READY F0R REIURY UF
 SOLDER BOYS

WINNIPEG Canada.-Plans for the demobilization of Canada's 286,- BOA overseas troops under a system intended to meet economic and in dustrial conditions have been com pleted and will be put into operation when withdrawal of the forces is consented to by the high command.
 After considering available ship ping facilities and rolling stock Tn Canada, the Imperial Ministry of Shipping and the Canadian War Board have concluded that the rate of return can approximate 10000 men a month.
 Close study of the military and economic phases of demobilization resulted in a decision to first return men whose trade classifications showed there was immediate use for them in industry. Preference is to be given married men, the order of their return to be determined by the length of time in overseas service. Then single men will be returned along the same general lines.
 Classification of the troops into occupational groups by the militia department was deemed advisable to meet the requirements of the labor market in the various districts. To return the men regardless of their occupation in civil life and demands of the labor market in their respect i've districts would work a hardship upon them as we'll as upon industry, officials decided.
 Latest figures list 286,3O4 as the number of Canadian troops over- seas. An estimate of how these men will be distributed among the various provinces, based on the ratio of en- listment in each province, follows :
 Ontario, 121, ,500; Quebec, 39,500; New Brunswick, 12,5OO; Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, 15,5OO; Manitoba, 33,5OO; Saskatchewan, 18,5O0; Alberta, 21,5O0; British Col umbia, 25,500;
 The problem of bringing back from England the wives and families Of Canadian soldiers, estimated at 35,000 persons, has taen placed with the department of immigration.

NEW OFFICERS FOR RED CROSS
 ARE ELECTED

A fairly large number of Red Cross workers met last night at the Grace Presbyterian church, in response to a notice calling the meeting, for the purpose of electing set of officers to carry on the work of the local Red Cross branch for the current year.
 The meeting was called to order by Mrs. J. R. Bowen, who explained it's purpose, and the business of electing officers was taken in hand without delay. On the motion of H. B. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. M. J. Cooney, Mrs. F. D. Browne was duly elected chairman. On motion of Mrs. R. G. Southworth, seconded by Mrs. R. R. Myers, Mrs. M. J. Cooney was duly elected vice-chair- man. On motion by Frank Doner, seconded by H. B. Joseph, Carl Schmidt was duly elected treasurer. On motion by J. A. Slippern, sec onded by H. B. Gray, Mrs. Walter Gould was duly elected secretary 1; and on motion by Mrs. Cooney, sec onded by Mrs. Norman Smith, II. E. Joseph was duly elected the fifth member of the board.
 Mrs. J. R. Bowen, the retiring chairman, had previously declined the renomination for chairman, and she, as we'll as Mrs. Jas. T. Oldfeld also declined the nomination for the secretaryship.
 The financial statement for the past year will be ready for publi- cation at the next meeting, which will be called by the new chair man.
 The election of officers,did not last more than about twenty minutes, at the end of which time, on the motion of H. B. Joseph, seconded by Frank Doner, the meeting was adjourned.

FAIRBANKS LAD
 FALLS IN BATTLE

Mrs. Howard Goodfellow, for merly of Fairbanks, in letter to friends in Nenana, sends clipping from Butte paper, which gives an account of the death, in action, of Lieutenant Edward B. Schreiber.
 Aoung Schreiber was formerly connected with the Farhanks Times ard worked in the printing depart rent for some time, and was well and favorably known in and around Fairbanks. He left the North for his hccl, in 1913.
 The clipping referred to is as follows:
 Anaconda, Nov. .,.-Lieur. Et- ward B. Schreiber, for nearly two years a chauffeur for Frederick Ls.ist, manager of the Washoe le- duction works, was killed in acton on the Western front, according to a message received this morning by Mrs. Laist from her husband, who is now in New York. The word originally came to the young mans father, pr. H. w. Schreiber of New York. No further details of his death were received.
 Lieutenant Schreiber, young man of exceptional education and culture, was born in Switzerland 28 years ago, while his parents were travelling abroad.
 His sympathies lay with the French in their struggle against op- pression by reason of his early training and education in France, and shortly before the United States declared war he enlisted with the famous French flying corps, the Lafayette escadrille, receiving a brief preliminary training at New port News. Arriving overseas he served in France until last March, when he joined the American flying corps whn it was formed there, his ability being recognized by lieut. enant's commission. Shortly after ward he was sent to Italy, where he was signally honored with the Italian distinguished service order, gained for valor under fire. In June he returned to France and the last letter received from him was dispatched from the Western front, where he was flying at that time.

TRAIN MAY CROSS 43 MILE BRIDGE
 TOMORROW MORN

Late advices received from out the line indicate that the decking of the big bridge across the Nenana river at 43-mile will be completed today and it is just possible that work trains will be able to cross the river tomorrow morning.
 After the river has been crossed there remain approximately six miles of grade to be coverd by steel ere the Burns mine is reached A spur track will run out from the main line to the tipple at the mine, distance of about 1000 feet.
 The grade beyond the bridge and towards the Burns mine is almost completed, only a small gap re- mains to be filled in and contractors are now busy at this work. It is confidently expected that the gap will be finished before the rails are laid for many miles beyond the big bridge.
 The roadbed for the spur track leading to the mine tipple has al ready been graded and the work of laying the track to the mine will be very easy of accomplishment.
