New Moves in Foreign Trade

Export credits from a government
al agency are to cease in England af-
ter September 8. On that date the
Exports Credit Department of the
British Board of Trade will close its
doors.
In something like two or three
years the financial results to the gov
ernment will be known. About $40,-
100000 in credits have been made
possible, but until the outstanding
liabilities have expired the books can
not be closed.
Facile letter-writing does not get
foreign orders. The letters must
give the foreign dealer the facts upon
which he can decide to do business.
A recent inquiry from abroad
points a moral. Fifteen American
houses responded. Only three quot
ed CT. f., as requested Five hazard
ed guesses at the freight rates. Most
of the letters were 80 written as to
suggest Indifference whether or not
and business was done. At the same
time, competitors from other coun-
tries were not only quoting eagerly
on c. /. f. basis, but were putting
their quotations in terms of the 10
cal money, Offering agency agree
ments, and in other ways actively in
viting the business.
A Carte de Commerce since July 1
will be necessary portion Of the
impedimenta of business man who
goes to France to make sales without
opening an office. These cards are
to be used for Frenchmen and for
eigpers who sell elsewhere than at
regular establishments. Their pur-
pose is to make sure that the French
tax on sales and the French income
tax are properly met. To obtain
a card, travelling salesman has to
make deposit, which he gets back
upon showing the taxes have been
liquidated.-The Nations Business.

Plans to Establish
''Live Church"

Moscow, Sept. 5.-The red clergy
led by group of young men, held its
first congress here early in August
and discussed plans to establish q
new Live church." 1t was contend.
ed that the church must be brought
nearer to the masses, and that the
new church should be as "simple
and as humble as was Christ Him
self"
"The aims of the "red clergy" So
called because of its acknowledge
ment of the social revolution and the
Soviet Internationale, include liquida
tion of the superiority of the regu-
lar clergy in Russian church affairs;
doing away with the reactionary sec.
tion of higher clergy who, it is
claimed, are still hoping for a coup
d'etat to sweep them into power
again, and preparation of an all Rus
sian conclave at which successor to
Patriarch Tichon is to be elected.
The red clergy" group, headed by
Archbishop Antonin and a number of
young Moscow and Petrograd clergy
men, came into existence as a result
of split among the Russian Ortho-
dox clergy, brought about soon af
ter confiscation of church treasures
was started by Soviet government Of.
ficials.
Because of the opposition which
developed among the ruling church
authorities, number of the clergy
were prosecuted in various parts OF
Russia, even Patriarch Tichon him.
self having been placed on trial
Many death sentences were imposed
some of which were carried into eff.
feet, and various other archbishops
bishops and clergymen were give
Jail sentences. Realizing that the
conflict between the state and church
threatened the very existence of the
church itself, the group of young
clergymen took the initiative and de-
manded the abdication of Patriarch
Tichon. The Patriarch yielded to the
demands, and Immediately afterward
the movement of the Give church
was inaugurated.
The new movement, first of all, is
against supporters of the old Bizan.
tine. church service which demands
lsplendor in all its glory. 1t is con.
tended that the costly mitres Of gold
stndded with jewels, the magnificent
|yesthaents, the priceless rugs are toe
sid Ssant of aristocracy. In all thii
splendor," claim the young clergy.
men, ~ittle room is left for the light
of Christ's mercy and love. Tn,
church must be brought nearer to tn,
masses--it should be 'proletarized.
And it is on these grounds that tn,
"red clergy" have recognized the rev
olution, it's results, and the Interna
tionale.
"The live church" proposes also Il
clear the churches and parish coun
ellis of counter revolutionary clergy
and to remove the vow of celibacy TO,

His vision Is narrow and selfish and
I make this charge upon his own
statement.
Reason No 8: Mr., Blesse elected
will flood this state with Illicit whis-
key. Bootltgsefs will flourish and
the prohibition laws Will be tha, vaFi-
est farce. There will be no enforce,
ment Of the law, no punishment for
violators of the law, no protection
for those who live under the law. II
the moral element Of the state are
forced to live under the rsisn Of Mr..
Bleass the condition will be intoler-
able.
Reason No. Z: Mr.. Blease's public
utterances, his disregard of the or
dinary proprieties of life, his wild,
erratic teaching, are bad enough as
it is. To elect him governor for a
third term will give him greater
power than he has ever had, and his
tyranny will be thing of evil.
Reason No. 8: Mr.. Blease poses as
the poor mans friend. He is no such
thing. He is the friend of the law
breaker, rich or poor; but not Of the
poor man.
Reason No. 9: Mr.. Blease tells the
people he will reduce taxes. He will
do no such thing, for he cannot do it,
even if he tried. What can he do to
reduce taxes? We are demanding
roads, schools anu greater comforts.
To get these things taxes must be
levied. The only way taxes can be
reduced is by repudiating debts, and
South Carolina is not strong for
Reputation. We have builded roads
and schools, and we are now paying
for them. How can we reduce taxes
without refusing to pay the bonds
we have already voted? No, Mr..
Blease cannot reduce taxes. Is he to
be both law maker and law executor ?
1t is the custom of tyrants to usurp
both functions. Indeed, a tyrant il
one who usurps legislative, judicial
and executive perogatives, becoming
the whole cheese"
We do not believe Mr.. Blease will
be elected on next Tuesday. We
feel quite confident that he will be
defeated. He polled his full strength
in the first primary. 1t was con.
ceded by all that he would get into
the second primary. He is going to
be defeated, and he should be de.
feated, in our humble judgement.
The next governor of South Carolina
will be Mcleod, and he is a man of
|irreproachable character. He has
made clean, high-class campaign.
He has advocated safe, sane ideas
and he will not betray the sacred
trust imposed in him.

Carpenter Won Big
Sum For Invention

How 10 ships find thsir way aarpss
the pecan 7 4 This has always beeA o
puzzle to the average lahdsman, says
q mail boat officer, in The London
Daily Mail: Of course, tho land&man
has a hazS idea Of latituds and longi-
tude, but how these are obtained, and
by what means, is generally a mys-
terry. 81.
Latitude may be dismissed in q
few words. 1t has always been pos
sible for n sailor TO ascertain his lat
ituds stthsr by the altitude Of ths
sun or moon or by the pols-star at
night. With either a sextant or
quadrant this is quite a simple op-
GRAFTON; but to find the longitude is
a very different matter and this IS
where the ships chronometer plays
the most important part.
Without going into the technicali-
ties of navigation, longitude is the
difference between the local time at
the place of observation-the place
the ship is in-and the local time at
the place chosen as the standard
meridian-Greenwich, which is ac-
cepted as the standard meridian By
all countries.
Over two hundred years ago it was
realized that for ship to be safely
navigated it was absolutely neces-
sary to know ones longituds-in
other words, always to know the cor
rect time at Greenwich. It was the
period when timepieces were not up
to the high standard Of today and
when for them to keep anything like
correct time, even ashore, was un-
usual. Imagine, then, the effect of a
tossing ship on these watches! About
1874 the British government offered
a reward of 100000 for any one who
could discover method Of determin-
ing longitude at sea within 80 miles
of the truth.
The following year the problem
was solved by John Harrison, son Of
la Yorkshire carpenter, who produced
the first chronometer that would keep
a regular rate. It was tested on a
voyage to Jamaica and home and
found to be we'll within the govern.
ment limit, and he was awarded the
92O, 900.
Nowadays every ship sailing the
ocean has two or more chronometers,
and they have been brought to very
great perfection. In the modern
ship they are kept in a special padded
case in the navigating room, away
from all shocks, dynamos Ito pre-
vent magnetism) and sudden changes
of temperature. 1t is the duty of
the ships officer to wind them at the
same time every morning and to re-
port to the captain direct when he
has done so.
1t will be noticed that ships
chronometers are two or three in q
case lettered A, B. or C, respectively,
and the tyro will be struck by the
fact that they all differ in time. But
on glancing at the lid of the chrono-
meter case card will be found giv-
ing the daily and accumulated error
with note showing. whether the in
strument is: fast or slow Of Green
witch mean time.
The question may be asked: How
when ships make long voyage of
two years or more, is it known wheth.
er the chronometer keeps this rate ?
The answer is that at every port of
any size there is a time ball on q
prominent building which is dropped
at stated hour. BY this means the
navigator can check the rate Of his
chronometers frequently.
Next to the compass, the chro-
nometer is the most important in
strument on board hsip.
