From 1000 to 5000 immigrants are
coming into the United States every
day from Europe. Most of them are
undesirable. The better classes of
foreigners are remaining in their ma
tive countries. There was much talk
just after the war about shutting out
the kind of people who foment anarchy
and bolshevism, but Congress did moth
ing with this most important and
urgent question. The very life of our
republic is at stake. This flood of the
runts and criminals and scum of the
old world must be stopped. The Unit
ed States already is suffering from the
faint of such people admitted here for
so years During the war we had a
rest from this immigration and the
last session of Congress should have
put on the clamps to prevent the
stream from starting again. 1t is all
right to admit the desirable classes,
sound in mind body and spirit, but
not a single one of the other kind.

When President Wilson in 1918 asked
for a Congress- to be elected that
would be in sympathy with what he
was trying TO do, TRADE of abuse
broke loose from Republicans that has
scarcely ever beer equalled. He did
not get that kind of a Congress and
the results are even worse than he
predicted Senator Harding said last
week that he did not want to be elected
President unless the country would
give him a Congress of the same com
plexion Not a word of criticism has
been heard on account OF that partisan
request Makes Il lot of difference
which side does it. ...:-@....

a Fine Sentence.

Here is a fine sentence recently ut
tered by DR.. Marion Leroy Burton, the
new president of the University OF
Michigan: THE trained citizen Of to-
morrow will actively oppose the bus
mess man who profiteers, the laboring
man who shirks, the politician who sets
private gain above public veal, the
citizen who selhshly enjoys the bles-
sings OF democracy without meeting
its demands, and the man of means
who fails to accept his wealth as a
social trust."--Michigan Christian Adj
vocate

insignificant Sins.

A trifiing thing may produce result
that are glorious or disastrous. A ship
was once wrecked on the Irish coast.
There was no seeming reason for tho
tragedy. Upon Investigation II was
found that a sailor. In cleaning The
compass had broken a knife blade and
left the tiny piece Of steel in the CO..!
pass. 1t DETECTED the needle and
drove the vessel to its destruction. 1t
was tiny thing to do so great a - rli
of destruction. Every wrecked life
began with what we call an insignif-
cant sin--Methodist Protestant.

Two Organizations Consoli-
date.

Consolidation of the South Caro-
lima State chamber of commerce with
the South Carolina Delevopment
board will become effective within
a very short time. The new name Of
the organization will be the South
Carolina Development Board and
Chamber of Commerce.
Determination to merge the or
ganizations followed upon feeling
that more can be thus accomplished
than by permitting the bodies to
operate separately. The development
board has been particularly. success
full in its appeal to the farmers to
unite while the state chamber was
representative of the business inter-
ests in the larger centres.
The new association and overlap
ping in activities will be stronger
than the two acting separately could
hope to be. Headquarters will re-
main in Columbia and the manage
ment of the board will be in the
hands of Arthur v. Smell now execu.
tive of the Charleston Chamber OF
Commerce.
The board is now conducting an
intensive effort to enlarge its mem
bership. It has about $500 individ-
uals enrolled and seeks not less than
10000.

Taxable Property Showing In
crease.
The State.

The State.
Taxable property in South Caro-
lima will show an increase of at
least s40,OOO,O00, and perhaps more,
over 1919, according to figures al
ready being compiled by the state
tax commission. Abstracts from coun
ty auditors and other figures are
coming in and these indicate the to-
tai taxable jump from last year.
The tax commission estimated
early in the year that the increase
would be S4O,OO0,0OO, and it is now
believed this figure will be exceeded.
Equalization of assessments in the
counties is taking place, and IN
some of these only slight increases
are to be noted while In others the
advance is large.
Figures for number of counties
as to their increases over 1919 are
as follows: Anderson county, sZ,l
21G,O6O; Charleston county, So, ,l6a,-
097; Florence county, $l,7S9,3of;

President Wilson Issues
Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Wilson issues his Thanksgiving proc
lamation tonight saying that "ln
plenty, security and peace, our peo-
pie face the future" and set
ting aside Thursday, November 10Th
for the usual observance. The next
follows:
"The season approaches when it
behooves us to turn from the dis
fractions and preoccupationS of our
daily life, that we may contemplate
the mercies which have been vouch-
safed to us, and render heartfelt
and unfeigned thanks unto God Tor
His manifold goodness.
@This is an old observance of the
American people deeply lmbedded
in our thought and habit.
The burdens and stresses OF lie
have their own insistence.
'We have abundant cause for
thanksgiving. The LESSONS Of the war
are rapidly healing. The great army
of freedom, which America sent to
the defense of liberty, returning to
the grateful embrace of the nation,
has resumed the useful pursuits OF
peace, as simply and as promptly as
it rushed into the arms in obedience
to the conntry's call. The equal JUS
tice of our laws has received steady
vindication in the support OF law,
abiding people against various and
sinister attacks which have reflected
only the baser agitations of war, now
happily passing
"In plenty, security and peace,
our yirtuous and self-reliant people
face the future, its duties and It's
opportunities. May we have vision
to discern our duties; the strength
both of hand and resolve, to dis.
charge them, and the soundness OF
heart to realize that the truest op-
nortunities are those of service.
sIn a spirit then, of devotion and
stewardship we should give thanks
in our hearts, and dedicate ourselves
to the service of Gods merclfnl anu
loving purposes to his children.
wherefore, /, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States OF
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-fifth day of Noyem-
ber next, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer, and call upon my coun-
trvmen to cease from their ordinary
tasks and avocations upon that day.

Prior to the war, the telephone service In
South Carolina was equal to the best. Serg.
Zee reports from all parts OF the onlteo
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 nov furnishing far greater vol.
u1ne of ser-lee than the plant was designed
and Constructed to furnish. We had no al
tsrnatiye. 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 ad-
ditions to tho plant now under construction
are completed aud 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 16 per
cent.
, (b) An adequate force of trained and skill
ed workers.
The amount Of switchboard equipment in
every central office ia 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 mum.
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 switchboards now In service
were installed the average daily number OF
calls has materially increased. so that the
switchboards are today carrying greater
load than they were engineered and con-
structed to carry.
All surplus switchboard equipment has
