Surrounded by the leaders of a united Democracy President Wilson signed the Underwood-Slmmons tar iff bill at 9:09 o’clock Friday-night at the White House. Simultaneously telegrams were sent by the treasury department to customs collectors throughout the country putting Into actual operaton the first Democratllc tariff revision since 1 894. A happy group of legislators, mem bers of the Cabinet and friends en circled the President as he smilingly sat down and with two gold pens slowly affixed his slfinature. He presented to Representative Under wood the pen that had written the word “Woodrow”, and the one which had completed the name to Senator Simmons.

Because the question, now that this piece of work is done, will arise all over the country ‘for what do we wait?’ Why should we wait to crown ourselves with consummate honor? Are we so self-denying that we do not wish to complete our success? Covets Honor for All. “I was quoting to some of my col leagues in the Senate, those lines from Shakespeare, which have al ways appealed to me: ‘If it be a sin to covet honor, then am I the most offending soul alive,’ and I am happy to say that I do not covet It for my self alone. I covet It with equal ar dor for the men who are associated with me and the honor Is going to come from them. I am their asso ciate. I can only complete the work which they do. I can only counse' when they ask my advice. I can come In only when the last stages of the business are reached. And I covet the honor for them quite as much as I covet It for myself. **So I feel to-night like a man who Is lodging happily in the Inn which lien hnlf way along the Journey that tn the morning we shall go the rent of the way and aloop at the journey's like men with a quiet eoa- that we have eerred Military Prlaoaen M Fort Leavea- worth Are Taught Trades aad Will he Glvea a Gbaace. Federal prisoners at Fort Leaven worth, Kan., have completed the con struction of the finest penitentiary in the United States. Five years ago the government made an appropria tion of $043,000 for the project. It is declared the new structore would have cost the government $3,000,000, but for the material aaslstanc# of Col. Thomas H. Slavens, commandant of the United States Military prison at the fort. The completion of the new build ings will mark a complete change in the character of the military prison. Instead of making convicts of army deserters and petty offenders, Uncle Sam Is going to try a new plan. There Is entirely too ranch soldier material wasted by the old system. Uncle Sam Is going to conserve this by giving deserters a chance ts get hack Into the ranks, through the reformatry, and clear their resords. The labor ss the new bslldlngs was the easiest problem for Col Slavens. Confined In the prison were men from every walk of life, brick layers, stone-masons, plumbers, mill workers and laborers. Those who knew no trade were given Instruction In performing the work of ordinary laborers. There are now 900 prison ers. most of them army deserters, snd 300 of these were employed on the rnnstrurtion proper In addition to the work on the prison, which consisted of quarrying tn ?4ie prison quarr'es, crushing stone. mHUiv concrete. and other 1 work that goes wl'h the erection of I fine 1 nil :lng« pr,-< ner* n«* »' If the! construction of road* tto* pre*, rra ••on of fnro»t land*, t'.tl the so th« pr**nn farm an! work ‘ n*: *t op* wre < > v c i« i t *' e prisoner* The p- S II '« of, r.'te M. • k* » It h n 11 T t r t f e 1 » I • h I c t r I c I g h t s t > r I ‘tl » en St, res T* ' re s i'-ur' im t *iat » I' scat ? , p . » J" r,„ .O; t 1 a* W !'

H. Barry created excitement in the Spartanburg Cotton market Mon day morning by announcing hls in tention to buy for export. As a result between the opening of the market and two o’clock, the price of cotton jumped from 13 3-8c a pound to 14c, or $3.12 1-2 for a 500-pound bale. It is a matter of Spartanburg history that an “Independent buyer”—that is, a buyer not connected with one ofj the cotton mills for the county— 4 never haa been able to enter the Spar>jj|^ tanburg market and “get away wlth^V It”. Spartanburg county’s cotton be* longs to the county’s mills, Is the way the mill people loo kat It, and they have a way of making things exceedingly hot and intereeting for any man who goes Into the market against them. It has not been at tempted for several yean. Aa a ra-
