HARVEY DISCUSSES
 WORLD CONDITIONS
Iells of Misunderstanding Re-
 garding America.

London. July 5. - Ambassador george Harvey told diplomatic rep resentatives of more than thirty for eisn governments at the annual In- dependence Day dinner of the Amer ican Society of London last night that one fact is certain: If George III. had issued a proclamation even approxlmating in eloquent sincerity and appealing force that uttered the other day by George V. in his faith ful endeavor to reconcile a nation Ireland there would have been no ringing of hells in Philadelphia 145 years ago this night, nor for many years thereafter"
 Whether the territory comprising the United States could have been retained is wholly speculative" he added.
 The ambassadors address was fol- lowed with the closest attention by those present, especially his refer ences to conditions which must be removed to bring the peoples of the United States and Great Britain into closer thought and action.
 Mir. Harvey in the course of his address declared that the mutual helpfulness which all desired could not be realized until two grave mis- apprehensions had been removed, one which pervades Europe respecting the United States and the other which permeates the United States as to Europe.

HEFLIN IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Alabama Congressman Sees Big Jump
in Cotton Prices.

in Cotton Prices.
Giving it as his opinion that there
will undoubtedly be a very large jump
in the price of cotton next spring. II
not before, Senator Heflin, Of Ala
bama, a member of the senate commit
tee on agriculture, and well posted
cotton expert, has made the following
statement:
1--WE have consumed ard exported
more than eleven million bales Of cot
ton since July 1920. The southern
cotton mills have made heavy jnroads
on the low grade cotton produced in
1920. The cotton Of that crop now re-
manning unsold is mostly high grace
cotton.
1.-The cotton crop this year will be
in the neighborhood of seven million
bales. April, May, June and July OF
next year will see the smallest sup
ply of and the greatest demand for
American cotton that the world has
witnessed in a long time, Germany's
demand for American cotton is grow
ing in leaps and bounds. Germany Is
out after very large part of the
worlds cotton goods trade. One of
the largest cotton producers in the
United States Is now in Germany ar
ranging for the direct sale Of Ameri-
can cotton to German interests.
The War Finance Corporation an.
nourccs that negotiations for advan-
ces to finance agricultural products
for export sale are approaching COM
pletion as follows: oklahoma Cotton
Growers association, 100000 bales of
cotton; Texas Farm Bureau Cotton
association, 100000 bales Of cotton.
1.-The small crop, the increasing de-
mand and the aid furnished the cot
ton producer by the War Finance
Board is bound to advance cotton
prices"

A RAILROAD UNDER ROOF
Southern Pacific Has Many Miles or
Snowshcds in Sierras.


Operation of the Southern Pacific
railroad over the Siarras on the Og-
den route between Sparks, New, 537
miles west of Ogden, and Rosevi!le,
Cal. 139 miles farther west. presents
difficulties. to overcome. which, eXpe-
dents. in construction, maintenance,
equipment and operation have been
cvolv Il that together constitute a bit
of rairoadlng spectacular enough 10
impress even the unsOphisticated.
Briefly summarized these difficulties
include the operation of 4 single track
having grades ranging from 1872 to
l25.l2 feet to the mile and curves up
to 10 degrees radius. on which train
movements average one in each twen-
ty-one minutes of the movements Of
helpers engines, and in region
where the annual snowfall sometimes
amounts to more than siXty-five feet
and averages two thirds of that
amount. In order to cope with this
extraordinary precipitation the com"
pany is obliged TO maintain thirty
miles of snowsheds in Il distance of
forty-one miles, twenty-ninc miles OF
the sheds being concentrated in thirty
miles Of line. While snowsheds are
not rare on mountain roads nothing
approaching so great n mileage OF
railroad under roof is to be found
anywhere else in the world.
The snow is concentrated in Il pc
riod of three months. 1t is very wet
and heavy: and as there is little wind
it lies where it falls. Very little goes
off during the winter. 1t keeps set
Ting until the average depth on the
level is fifteen feet though Gepth of
twenty-siS feet has been measured
many times. This makes the snow
very heavy with streaks of ice in it.

Lack of History.-The forthcomin

Lack of History.-The forthcoming
historical pageant in Greenville will in
form thousands of people Of the Pied
mont section as to parts OF its past
history about which they are ignorant.
Those in charge are now requesting
the loan Of books which contain that
portion of our history which relates TO
the period covered by the pageant
from 1850 to 1850.
AS a matter of fact, printed volumes
dealing with the history of upper South
Carolina are few and scarce.
Not long before the War Between
the States DR.. John II. Logan of Green
wood, wrote and published one volume
of a history of upper South Carolina.
There is tradition that he also wrote
a second volume, but that he was so
displeased with the lack of interest IN
dicated by the sale of the first that ne
threw the manuscript of the second IN
to the fire. The Piedmont knows OF
but two copies Of the published volume
in Greenville. The public library Oh
Anderson searched for years before 1t
could obtain one. United States DIS
trict Judge II. II. Watkins of that city,
after a long quest obtained a volume
in Florida, but the first pages were
missing, and he had to have theri
copied from another book on type
writer and filled in.
That is the only history of upper
South Carolina which has ever been
published, with the exception OF DR.. j.
y. 0. Landrums book issued about ~
wears ago. This is a volume Of much
interest and value. preserving a num-
ber of local traditions and history that
otherwise might have been lost. DR..
Landrum's book Is also hard to find
The Piedmont knows Of no history OF
any single county in the Piedmont sec
ton except DR.. Landrum's history or
Spartanburg county. The late Col. 5.
S. Crittenden did this county a great
service in compiling and publishing his
little booklet on the past of Green
Vile county. c. NJ. Calhoun wrote and
published some random "reminiscences
of Greenwood county. Has anybody
written a real history of Abbeville.
Pickens, Oconee, Greenville, Laurens,
York. Chester, Lancaster or Union
county? Not that the Piedmont knows
of.
A noted Charleston lawyer remarked
to The Piedmont the other day that a
history of this section is actually need
ed. The history of the lower part. of
the state has been fairly well preserv-
ed and published. Hundreds Of books
containing history of Charleston and
the low country have come from the
press, but the record of the Piedmont
section, a stirring, wonderful story, is
yet to appear. There are fragments
here and there. yet nobody has at
tempted to compile and publish the
whole history.
OF course, to prepare a properly
written history Of upper South Carroll
ma, accurate and comprehensive, would
require vast labor and involve consid-
erable expense,. for the historian or
historians would have to give full time
to it for years and spend many days in
Libraries in other sections of the ma
ton.
1t is high time that the unwritten
history of the upper part Of South Car
olina. should be written.-GreenviIle
Piedmont.

VINO was WITH MT. DdVlS Wnen Udp-
tured would be sufficient to defeat the
awful falsehood Of General Wilson's
telegram, that Mr.. Davis was dis
guised in a woman's dress when ar
rested. The faithful servant said.
when he heard the Yankees coming
we were skeered to death, old Boss
walked just as straight as II he was
walking the streets Of Richmond with
Lee and Jackson! He was the brayest
man l ever saw was sho the Yam
KEGS were going to hang him, but IL
he ever fiinched nobody ever saw him.
Folks may say what they please, but
Mars jeff sho was brave"
! On separation Of Mr.. Davis and his
cabinet the treasury train started back
toward the Savannah river, as the
Federal troops were reported in the ad-
vance. The train camped at a farm
house near the town Of Danburg in
Wilkes county. The two teams were
unhitched and fed and the wagons
drawned into coral. But the whole
country was filed with disbanded
Confederate soldiers, many being from
Kentucky and Tennessee, and who
could mot return on account Of the
strong Union sentiment at their for
mer homes. These soldiers were
without means, except that each
member Of the presidents guard was
given a silver dollar on being dismiss
ed. The people of the country took In
these exiles and divided with them the
scant food left by the war and which
the Yankees had not taken or destroy
ed. Realizing that the Confederate
treasure train would unquestionably be
captured by the enemy before many
hours, these old ex- Confeds organized
and that night raided the train, meet
ing no opposition from the guard. Mr.
Anderson, an old citizen Of Danburg.
told me that he was among the raiders
and got some ten thousand dollars In
gold, but the Federals hung him up by
the thumbs and he had to give 1t up.
The gold and silver were in axe boxes
and nail kegs The soldiers, with what
ever tool they could find, broke open
these kegs and boxes, and If gold was
found filled saddle bags, pockets and
whatever receptacle they had. Others
buried the treasure at certain marked
spots, hoping to return for 1t later. Mr..
Anderson said If the men found silver
they cast it aside as so much dross
and renewed the search for gold.
The night after this raid a Kentucky
soldier stopped at my fathers house in
Elbert county and discovered that he
was a Mason, remained the night with
him. 1 remember that 1t took my
father, the soldier and a stout negro
to carry the saddle bags into the house
where they were locked in trunk.
The horse he rode, as also lead ami
NAL, was loaded down.
Afterwards l learned that the
stranger had load of gold coin and
when the raiding of\the treasury train
was made known there was no doubt
about this soldier being among the
looters.
In after years, when a man devel-
oped suddenly rich here in that section
the report grew that he has got his
share Of Confederate gold.
The father of Jefferson Davis was
native of Wilkes county, and moved to
Kentucky only a few weeks before the
birth Of his illustrious son. Washing
ton, Ca, is also the home Of Gen. Bob
Toombs and other great and famous
men.
