STATE LEADERS MEET IN COLUMBIA Col. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., National Head of the Organization Talks Matters Over With Representatives of South Carolina Posts. Columbia State Wednesday. Coming to Columbia yesterday to attend a conference of post commanders, Col. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national'head of the American Legion, had a busy day, being continually on the go from 1 the time he arrived about noon from | Greenville, until he left last night for Florida. Each time that the distinguished visitor spoke during his stay in the capital city he stressed one point and. one point alone?aid for the disabled. This is the keynote of his administration an'd he is letting nothing replace it as the prime purpose of the American Legion this year. First, in an address to the general assembly in the hall of the house of representatives at 1 o'clock in the afternoon; again an hour later at the luncheon of the Kiwanis club; for a third time at the post commander's conference at Craven hall and at the smoker last night he devoted his time to telling of the needs of injured veterans and urging that citizens everywhere get behinp congress and. see that measures now pending are enacted into j law. The general assembly by rising vote thanked him for his message, the Kiwanis club sent a telegram to representatives in congress urging action and the post commanders' conference sent word to the South Carolinians in the* two national houses asking that they support the Watson and Fess bills. Business of All. "This is the business of every Amer- i ican," he said in a conversation (with a representative of The State. "This is the business of all good citizens to see that the disabled men get help. I have determined that the American Legion during my administration will flght for these men's rights, and I want every man, woman and. child to join with me in the effort." "The one who wants something out of the American Legion?to hell with him," said Colonel Galbraith in ado /innfpi-pupe. "But the one urcsaiiiB iiiv that wants to help those less fortunate, we want him." :rhe national commander urged all of his hearers to spread the message that the disabled men are not getting what is coming to them and to see that congress does give to these heroes?the real heroes?their just dues.

The conference of post commanders, which included also executive committeemen and state officers, was well attended and should result in great good for the legion in this state. It is aimed to make the organization as good and as effective as possible and the conference yesterday was for a frank discussion "within the family" of the ways and means of accomplishing these ends. State headquarters was anxious to get the ideas of the post kaders on a number of subjects, and was also desirous of the commanders meeting Colonel Galbraith and knowing liJm iwi-iinnallv. It was decided among other things to accept the offer of Fred K. Graham to award a membership prize, and it was decided to put on a competition to end April G, the prize to go to the post showing the greatest gain in percentage over 1920. For new posts of 1921 a special prize will be given by state headquarters for the largest to that date. State Commander Mahon presided and the address of welcome was made by Governor Cooper. The purpose of the conference was staled, by Major Mahon and then W. C. McGowun of Columbia, vice state commander, introduced Colonel Oalbniith. A report ; in behalf of the legislative committee was made by M. C. Lumpkin of Columbia, and then a general discussion of legion affairs was entered into, including such topics as membership, dues, club rooms, auxiliaries, publi city, etc. Delightful Smoker. L-ast night's smoker was really, in addition to being an event in honor of the" visitors, a "house warming" for the legion-'s new club rooms. Everything was delightfully informal, there was a large attendance and Colonel Gulbraith .was treated, as he asked to be. as "one of the iKtys." He was much pleased with the club rooms, calling them "a cozy little nest," until believing them "a necessity rather than a luxury." The men urged him to speak, ar.d although tired from a stren- | nous day he graciously responded and talked to his fellow legiunaires frankly of the conditions facing their disabled comrades. Colonel and Mrs. Galbraith lel't last night for Jacksonville, where the tour in the interest of the legion is continued. Commander Mahon and Adjutant Watkins returned, to Greenville today.

Provisions of the decree were explained. here by R. B. Hawley, president of the American Sugar company, and one of the members of the commission After pointing out the serious economic conditions prevailing in Cuba, which, he said, were largely due to the "artificial depression of sugar," Mr. Hawley declared that the Cuban government had adopted the plan of creating a commission to "save the sugar industry of the island." "The Cuban government," he continued, "seeks, not only to defend its own industry, but also to defend, the American consumer against abnormal conditions. By the method adopted the government undertakes to'normalize and stabilize the price at which .Cuban sugar may be^dcii.vored in the United States and othei' countries depending upon Cuba for their supplies of sugar. It is not the' purpose to hold or hoard the product, buf at nil times to offer although there have been exceptions. More peculiar is the fact that a barrister cannot sue for his fee. Most other countries have the same practice with regard to gambling debts as ourselves. Venezuela is one of the very few states in which such debts are collectable by law. In Holland you cannot sue for a bet made upon cards, but you can for one on a horse race or any similar outdoor sport. In Sweden a physician cannot sue for his fee, while in Belgium a solicitor is in a similar position.

All those debts are, however, looked upon as "debts of horror," and payment is rarely evaded.
