WHAT SENATOR SMITH IS:


He is South Carolina's most influential and ex-
perienced man in Congress today. He becomes
head of the great Agricultural Committee of Con-
gress by reason of the recent defeat of Senator
Gore of Oklahoma.
\He is the only Simon Pure Farmer in the Uni
ted States Senate, and the only representative of
the southeastern States on the Agricultural Com
mittee of which he will be the head.
If South Carolina wants an influential man in
Washington Senator Smith will be reelected. A
vote cast for him is vote cast for the best inter-
ests of the entire South.
Senator Smith will be elected next Tuesday,
because it is to the best interests of South Carolina
to re-elect him.

HONOR TO CENTRALIA DEAD
National Commander and Party Visit
Graves of Legion Men Killed Dur
ing City Parade.

The head of the American Legion
journeyed all the way to Centraia,
WASH, to pay homage at the graves
of the four men who were slain by
members of the |. w. W. last Armis-
tice day. Two hundred Legion men
and women accompanied Franklin
D'Olier, their national commander, on
his visit to the scene of the tragedy,
and stood with bowed heads in Noun
tain View cemetery as he pledged the
Legion to everlasting reverence to the
memory of its martyred members.
There was nothing of rancor in
DOlier's reference to the men who
killed the peaceful paraders. But the
speech served warning, as hundreds of
other incidents Of Legion history of
the last year have served warning
that the Legion is a wall of steel
against all advocates Of violence,
whether they dub themselves "wob-
blies" or parlor bolshevists.
81 come here as to the shrine of the
American Legion" said D'Olier. stand
ing at the foot of the grave of War
rem Grimm, killed at the head of the
Armistice day parade. "Centralia will
mean to the Legion what Bunker Hill,
Gettysburg and Chateau Thierry mean
to the nation. At these places, the
spirit Of America met the enemy and
triumphed. Here, in Centralia, the
spirit of the American Legion likewise
met the enemy of our country and tri-
umphed."
As representative Of the nearly two
million members of the Legion, Dol
Ter laid a wreath of flowers on Grimm's
grave. In the crowd were Grimm's old
friends in Centralia and friends Of
Dale Hubbard, Ben Casagranda and
Arthur McElfresh, who also were slain.
at is fitting that here today we
should renew our pledge of patriotism
and devotion TO law and order and
serve notice on the forces of anarchy
that more than four million ex-service
men. who fought and defeated the foe
without, are now sworn to fight TO the
death the foe within, who would work
injury to our sacred institutions. Our

the restraint shown by their outraged

the defense of our flag and all that

In the fighting about Warsaw when
the fate of the Polish capital hung in

the bolsheviki. When the tide of bat

retreat into rout

 Armed rebellion against the British invader is an ever present possi- tbility, MT. de Valera said. Whether it will break out depends almost en- tirely on the conduct of the British forces and the speed with which foreign countries recognize the island as a political entity, he asserted.
 EtIt is discouraging, this fighting for recognition, always against odds, and no one can answer what a desperate people might do," he declared. t"The facts are that Ireland has signifed tc the world her will, and the world hope through the aid of the American people and other nations to gain ou1 rightful place.

ounces for the years 1910-13 to an average of little more than 3O,15O,- 900 fine ounces for the years 1914-17 a reduction of some 43, 500, ,O0O ounces out of a total reduction of 5O,5OO,OO ounces in the world output In the same period the Canadian production declined by 100000 ounces, the Aus tralian by the same figure and that of Europe by 3,000,000, while the United States production rose by 9,oOo,OOO and that of Asia by 1000, 900. These latter increases, though in some measure referabIe to war stimulation, were due in part at least to normal ore development and may be regard ed as compensating for the ore de- pIetion in Canada
 The outstanding conclusions to which the authors are led by their studies, and further developed by them in oral evidence, are:
 1. - Important silver fields have been discovered intermittently since early times; several have been made known during the present century The discovery of others in the future especially since great advances have been made of late years in the science and art of prospecting, may be con fidently anticipated.
 2"Probably silver production, vii
 remain for a time at a low level, bu | in the near future, when increases ! precious metal mining has reachet ] the stage of production and when tn ! temporary check to base metal min i ing has been removed, a steady in
 crease in the output of silver will SC l in.
 i 3.-So long as the Mexican outpu l remains as it's present reduced 1eve
 the worlds production of silver is nc 1 likely to rise beyond the maximum | attained in 1912 On the other hand l if normal conditions should be re stored in Mexico, a production con
 siderably in advance of that max
 mum will eventually, and probabl
 shortly be realized
 4.-The protracted fall in the pric
 of silver, which set in in 1871 an reached a low record in 1909 an II 1915 was due to excess production

THINK SHORTAGE
 OF SILVER WILL
 LAST SOME TIME

London March 1S.-The prevailing shortage of silver is likely to continue for several years, after which produc- tion may catch up with consumption and prices be reduced, in the opinion of Professors H. c. H. Carpenter and c. G. Cullis of the Royal School of Mines This view is set forth in a report to the Secretary of State for India and included in the appendices to the report of the Committee on In dian Exchange and Currency. With respect to production the following matter is presented.
 'sIn the year 1880 the worlds pro- duction of silver is reported to have been about 3O,OOO,O0O ounces. With some fluctuations it steadily increased from that date until 1912, when the output was 2s5, 5,0OO,O0O ounces, o- nearly eight times more than half a century earlier. A continuance of the upward trend was then to be eX- pected. Its cessation and subsequent conversion into a precipitous down ward trend are assignable not to any sudden failure of the worlds re- sources but to a sudden Interruption in the winning of them.
 "Approximately three-quarters O. the worlds silver was being mined il North America and Mexico. A de crease at this time in the Canadian production, due to the progressive eX baustion of the Cobalt field, was mor' than compensated by an increase il +be nroduction of the United States The Key to the shortage of th' world supplies is to be found in MeM co where owing to protracted reyo l1,fion. the production fell from al average Of close upon 74.ooo,OO0 in

AUSTRIA TO MAKE
 LEVY ON WEALTH

Vienna, GA. P. Cor.) - The Aus trian government expects that it's plan for an enforced levy on wealth as prepared by Finance Minister Reisch for submission to the Ma tiona1 Assembly will yield from B. 0O0,O00,O00 to 12,000, ,00O, 900 crowns.
 The Vienna press has been pre- dieting that it will bring to a crisis the relations between radical and conservative elements in the parlia- ment and country.
 Under it fortunes would be divided into two classes. Those which ex- isted before the war and those ac- quired during and after hostilities.
 The former would have an exemp- ton of 5. per cent. Fortunes of un- der 5000 crowns would be free from taxation.
 Beginning at that figure, however a gradually increasing levy is pro- vided for, starting at per cent and attaining a maximum of 65 peI cent.
 On small fortunes an exemption ot l 1000 crowns for each member of tht | family is made from the total. One third of the levy is payable in casI 1 and the remainder in the interes l bearing third issue war bonds. l Compulsory contribution of wealt1 | has been before the government il | one form or another ever since it | formation, but nothing tangible ha. l resulted. The capita1istic and bour l geoise classes oppose it by ever. i means in their power.
 The financial proposals, togethe
 with the reorganization of the army are generally thought to be the cru cial test of the coalition government
 The latter question again brings tn two principal parties into direct con f1ict.
 The Social Democrats advocate
 kind of national militia or vo1ks
 wehr, while the conservatives de mand a standing regular army, com ; manded largely by officers of the oI army.
