PRESIDENT MAKES
PUBLIC APPEARANCE

Washington, Nov. 4.-President
Wilson made his first public appear
ance tonight in more than a year
when he was lifted in his wheeled
chair to the east portico of the White
House while hundreds of Washington
league of nations adherents gather
ed on the White House lawn to do
him honor.
The crowd of men, women and
children bearing state banners and
the national flag under the leader
ship of John F. Costello, Democratic
national committeeman for District
of Columbia, assembled at Demo-
cratic national headquarters at 8
o'clock and marched to the White
House, where the gates were opened
to the public, for the first time since
the beginning Of the war.
AS the president was lifted in his
wheel chair up the steps from the in
terror of the White House leading to
the east portico, the crowd on the
terrace below broke into applause,
and joined in the singing of Ameri-
ca.
Mrs. Wilson and other members OF
the family stood about the president
while the crowd sang. In. an over.
coat buttoned closely about him and
a soft hat shading his face the presl-
dent sat silently watching the throng
below. There was more cheering as
the song ended.
A soloist sang "Carry Me Back to
Old Virginia and the crowd picked
up the chorus. The presidents face
relaxed and he turned his head to
speak to Mrs. Wilson beside his chair.
AS the song ended amid cheering and
bouquet Of flowers was laid upon
the balustrate before him, Mr.. VIII
son raised his hat and held it alott
as attendants rolled his chair back
toward the door. The crowd sent up
cheers for the league and for the
president and as Mrs. Wilson waved
final greeting from the doorway
sang "The Star Spangled Banner"

The story is that of Big Jim

THE ELECTION WAS NO
REPUBLICAN VICTORY
MR.. HEARST DECLARES

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 4.-Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst last night gave
the Los Angeles Examiner the fol-
lowing statement on the results OF
the election:
Mr.. Wilson wanted referendum
on his league of nations and he has
had it.
He now knows, and certain other
foolish politicians now know, that the
American people prefer to follow the
patriotic precepts of Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson,
Lincoln and Cleveland rather than
the selfish ambition and visionary
theories of Mr.. Wilson who, as he
himself has said, "gets his news and
views of the world from the weekly
edition of the London Times"
This overwhelming election is not
victory for the Republican party,
although the Republican party will
probably make the mistake of think
ing that it is.
It is not a defeat for the Demo-
cratic party, because there is no
Democratic party.
Bryan was right when he said: "At
the end of Wilson's term of office
there will be no Democratic party.
There may be Wilson party, but
there will be no Democratic party
This historic election is purely and
simply Reputation by sterling
American citizens Of the Wilson par
ty. and that party's pro-British un-
American policies.
The nation has returned to Amerl-
canism-the Americanism of the
founders Of the republic.

colony. It is our own dear inde-

COTTON NEEDED
I'm GERMAN MILLS
LACK OF, FUEL ALSO FELT IN
EUROPE.
UnfavorabIe Rate of Exchange OF
Currency Makes Buying Diff
cult, Says Consul.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Lack of raw
cotton and fuel is greatly reducing
cotton manufacturing in central Eu-
ropeans countries, according to a re-
port on the cotton situation at the
department. of commerce today from
Consul Howard W. Adams, at Ber-
lin. Spinners and textile mills in,
Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia,
and Jugo-Slavia, the consul said, are
working only from 20 to 80 per
cent, Of. their full capacity.
Because of the unfavorable rate
Of exchange Of the currency Of those
countries as against the American
dollar, the consul explained, the SPIN
ners and textile mills can afford to
buy. raw cotton only when they are
able simultaneously to market the
converted goods for export.
Consignments Of raw cotton stored
in the warehouses at Bremen, Ham
burg and Eisenbrod, Bohemia, were
bought by dealers before the drop
in the price of cotton in the United
State Consul Adams declared, and
the prices now being asked the con-
sumers rendered It practically i'm
possible for the mills to buy the cot
ton. Lower wages existing in Ger
many, Austria and Czecho-Slovakia,
he added, are not sufficient to per-
NIT the manufacture of the stored
cotton for export to compete with
countries whose mills are using cot
ton bought recently.
During the period between August
1, 1919, and July 81, 1920, Consul
Adams reported the cotton consum-
ed by German spinning mills COM
prised 355,977 bales Of American,
73,709 bales of Indian, 14,467 bales
Of Egyptian, and 40,75S bales of
miscellaneous. The American cot
ton used, he said, was on average Of
the grade Of fully-middling, or high
er. At the end of July, 1920, there
were reported a total Of S,759,740
spindles in Germany out of which 81
230,996 were in operation.

ton.

mer, was arrested on Friday NOM
ing, charged with the taking Of the
tires. He promptly led the officers
to Mr.. Taylor's, when Mr.. TaylcF,

ed the stolen property.
Ben Woodward, Alan Arrowood
and John Smith were arrested by the
sheriff and his deputies, also cha-g-
ed with helping in the tire taking.
They all admitted being in the party
taking the tires. Mr.. Taylor has also
been arrested by the sheriff's depu-
ties charged with receiving and con-
cealing stolen goods,
The young men implicated all live
in the Mollohon mill village, and Mr.
Taylor lives near Dead Fall, about
seven miles from Newberry.
Fulmer and Smith have been re-
leased on $500 bonds each to appear
at general sessions court. Mr.. Tay-
lor was required to give a sou

The toll circuits are. likewise, ENGINEERED

Prior to the war, the telephone service IN
South Carolina was equal to the best. SerV-
Ice reports from all parts Of the United
States establish this fact.
Today the service is not equal to the pre-
war standard
This is the direct result Of furnishing the
present abnormally large volume Of service,
both exchange and toll.
We are now furnishing far greater vol
ume of service than the plant was designed
and constructed to furnish We had no a.
ternatiYe The vital needs of the public,
both commercial and social, required that
we do this.
This demand for service continues to grow
larger and more insistent. Every telephone
that we install, and every additional toll
message that is transmitted, before the atl-
ditions to the plant now under construction
are completed and put into service, delays
and prevents the Improvement OF the
service.
Efficient telephone service involves two
fundamental prerequisites:
(a) Adequate facilities including an un.
used margin of not less than IL per
cent.
(b) An adequate force Of trained and skill.
ed workers
The amount Of switchboard equipment IN
every central office Is engineered upon the
basis Of the average daily number OF calls
to be handled. This determines the number
of operators positions for each switchboard.
Each operator can handle only given num-
Der Of calls per hour When the number OF
calls per hour exceed the maximum capacity
of the switchboard, and is beyond the human
endurance Of the operator, the connections
simply cannot be promptly made.
Since the switchboardc now in service
were installed the average daily number OF
calls has materially increased. so that the
switchbcards are today carrying greater
load than they were engineered and con-
structed to carry.
All surplus switchboard equipment has
