JUG0- 0-SLAVS WOULD USE ', $, MONEY IN
 REHABILITATION
Propose Banking System Based on Earnings of Jugo-Slays
 in U. $.

Belgrade, June 15.-(By mail. J. Plans are being formulated here to utilize the money sent home or brought home from the United States by natives of Jugo-Slavia to enable this country to purchase goods in the United States or elsewhere.
 To accomplish this, steps are being taken to organize a general cooperative federation. A conven- ton for that purpose soon will be held in Belgrade. It is proposed to unite in this federation fourteen CO., operative unions already existing in Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia and Dalma- tia. Each union is composed of smaller units known as "zadruga,' or loan associations which exist III all branches of industry.
 The largest among une fourteeer unions is the Federation of the Ser bian Farmers Cooperative socitles Altogether the unions have tota membership of 100000 heads o1 families, corresponding to about E. 000,000 persons.
 If the general federation of these fourteen unions is accomplished, it is proposed to establish central bank at Belgrade. This is considered the most practical effort yet made to re establish credit in Jugo-Slavia. The new federation would sell product! and purchase for all it's members introduce modern machinery, gather the savings of emigrants and aid th' farmers to cultivate the land. 1t l: intended to be not political but eco

Mr.. Wannamaker outlined the gen
eral program of the organization, in
which he says 100000 members are
expected.
There was organized opposition
that would resort to anything. Re-
Gently he had brought together much
confidential information as to the
operations of a man in Wall street.
MIR. Wannamaker said the handbag
containing this information had been
taken and the correspondence lost. In
this fight every man was either with
the people or against them.
Senator Smith said that people Of
the South were today facing Hin
denburg line of greed and avarice.
The sinister shadow of this Wall
street gang had been hanging over
the South so years. It amused him
to hear appeals to the farmers to sup
port an organization by few cents
tax on each bale of cotton to protect
themselves, when the price of cotton
had been beaten down the last few
days $25 bale.

BONDS VOTED IN RICHLAND
Two Million to Be Spent on Perma
nent Roads.

Columbia, Aug. 5.-With only nine
small country precincts missing re-
turns from the primary election held
today show that Richland county, by
a vote of over two to one, approves
of the issuance Of 100000 in
bonds for the building of system
of permanent hard surfaced high
ways in the county. The vote was
somewhat light, 1913 voters favoring
the bond issue and 766 being oppos-
ed to it. The vote in the city Of Co.
lumbia was about five to one for the
issue while it's opponents carried the
rural districts by a small majority.
The election today has no legal
status. 1t was merely for gaining an
estimate of the sentiment of the pco-
pie on the permanent highway sys-
tenn. A bill has been prepared au-
thorizing the issue to be presented to
the next session of the general as
smbly, which undoubtedly will pass
it. It is probable that the work On
the highways will begin next spring.
Three commissioners have been
named to direct the machioecy CT
road building and expend the funds.
They are L. Legare Hardin, Geo. W.
Baker and ]. Pope Matthews, presi-
dents of local banks.
The peculiar feature of today's
election was the opposition to the
issue by those who will directly bene-
fit by the improved highways, the
residents of the rural districts. The
city of Columbia will pay for at least
three-fourths of the roads to be laid,
and not a foot of them will be built
in the incorporated limits Of Colum-
bia.

Crimes continue all over the State,
and now the trace" scare is being
thrown into a great many people.
Here in Columbia there have been
hundreds of rumors along this line
during the past week or ten days,
and committees have been meeting
and publishing statements to the ef-
feet that there is no danger, and urg-
ing everybody to keep cool, and all
that kind of stuff. People are very
easily excited, as a general rule, and
there is 70 surer way to excite them
than by spreading unfounded rumors,
and then contradicting them in the
public prints. No foundation has been
discovered for any of these wild ru-
mors, and in all probability there is
nothing in any of them. There is no
danger of anything like that happen
ing, if everybody will just go ahead
and attend to his own business, and
let other peoples business alone
and if people will just quit running
their mouths so much. More things
have probably been started by wild,
loose talk than in any other way, and
it is usually the idler and the loafer
who does the most talking.

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
(By Jon K. Aull.)

Blease is being watched here with a
great deal of interest. He has given
out a statement announcing that he
will be candidate in the general
election, but will not go into the pri-
mary because of the fraud with
which he charges that the primary is
permeated. The outcome of his at
titude, or just what course he is 60
ing to pursue, is the subject of con-
siderable speculation.
The commission to erect a memorial
chapel to the soldiers of the great
war from this State is going ahead
with it's plans. The chapel is to be
erected, under the act, on the
grounds of the university here in
Columbia. The commission has been
urged to build a memorial in the
form of general State hospital, to
be located in Columbia, and the Lex
ington division of the American Le-
gion of Honor, composed of the sol
diers of that county, has petitioned
the commission to that effect also
The commission, however, is bound
by the act, which specifies the form
the memorial shall take. From some
quarters it is being urged to delay
action until the next session of tee
general assembly, in order that the
act may be amended.
Of course, it would be impossible
to please everybody, and the commits
sion will probably do the best it can
under the circumstances, and follow
the act, as it is it's duty to do. And
that is all it can do.

The congressional race in this and
the sixth districts are exciting unusu-
al interest, and there are numbers OF
candidates in the field in both dis
tricts. Many are definitely an
nounced, while others are still being
urged by numerous friends through
o, he district" With the large
lualbe. of candidates, both will be
ii races, with your choice to
l. ne winner against the field. In
this district the election is to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation Of
Congressman Lever,who on Friday
assumed his new duties as member
of the federal farm loan board; while
in the sixth district the election is to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Congressman Ragsdale.
Columbia so far has two candidates
in the field-Messrs. Colin S. Mon
teith and John Hughes Cooper, both
of the Columbia. bar, and neither Of
whom has held political office be-
fore.
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman,
of the big county of Lexington, is
formidable candidate, while Solicitor
Ed. C.. Mann, of St. Matthews, will
make it interesting for somebody. Mr..
H. P. Eulmer, of Orangeburg, and
probably others, will also be in the
running.
Over in the sixth district there are
so many candidates being mentioned
and urged" that it is impossible at
this time to say just how many or
who will be in the race.
