Junior Member Accepts Invito-1 tion to Speak for President Wilson in Middle West. 1 Columbia, Sept. 18. ? E. 1). Smith. | junior United States senator from tkiu oiuie, in me to Columbia from | hig home in Florence yesterday to* attend the funeral Mrs. Annie Josephine Howe, sister of President Wil-j son. He returned to Florence yes-: terday afternoon. Next month Senator Smith will 1 give much of his time campaigning for the presidential nominees or the' Democratic party. Early in the! campaign he had been listed for a tour of two weeks through the Eastern division. Yesterday he received a telegram from Senator Kern of Indiana, urging that he Join the Chicago division for a series or speaking engagements before the agricultural masses of the Central West. Mr. < Smith accepted the invitation. Cotton and problems incident to I the marketing of the crop have a I -! ways been of vital interest to Son-J ator Smith, but he was never at any| time more concerned than just now J 'over the prospect for unprecedented I high prices. "Although trade relations one year ago were disrupted bv i ja world war, we consumed 4,000,000 | | bales of cotton in excess of an 11j 000.000 bale crop." he said. "This year the surplus has been exhausted j and we will market not more than! j 10.000.000 hales. Our own State1 will not gin more than 50 per cent of last year's figures. A concrete lllusItration is my own crop. 1 have 22 inures from which I have picked each year from 25 to 2 0 hales. This fall I'll probably get 10." Prices to be paid for this year's crop are wholly in the hands of the farmers. Senator Smith emphasized. An extremely small crop and that set ition of the federal reserve act , whereby cotton was made a liquid I asset, render this possible. All the farmers have to do Is to store their .cotton in a manner accoDtable to a I 1 member bank of the federal system. I With this assurance from the memi ber banks, the federal reserve act provides that a large percentage of |the value of the cotton shall be advanced six months by the regional reserve bank. Past year $40 was advanced to the bale. Prices then were eight and 10 cents. "With cotton selling at 15 cents throughout the South, an advance of $60 ought Ito be had," Senator Smith said. Another point stressed was that the warehouses did not have to be linked up with the State warehouse system. The federal reserve act was passed long before a warehouse act was placed on the statute books of South Carolina, and the only requirement imposed was that the cotton shall be stored in a manner acceptable to the member bank. Senator Smith was author of that section and could speak with authority as to exactions. Another issue on which Senator Smith thinks the people should bestir themselves is the acquisition of the $20,000,000 nitrnte plant, as recently provided for in congress. Selection of the site has been left with President Wilson. Senator Smith was the author of the bill and fought for its passage through both houses of congress, and believes 'hat with a superabundance of water power and mineral deposit and proper distribution facilities near the fields for consumption the State has more than an equal chance to procure the plant, if the people of the State, vigorously fight for its establishment here. .lOHV I. U.f'llTDit -< .??? n-tn NOT AH YET RESIGNED Columbia, Sept. 20.?Governor Manning has not yet received the resignation of John L. McLaurin as State warehouse commissioner. Mr. McLaurin stated recently in a letter] that he will resign. Several candidates are already in the field for the place. Governor Manning will appoint Mr. McLauln's successor to serve until the next session of the general assembly. DEMOCRATS OF PALME rTO STATE Sl'IWORIIlE JU.OOO Columbia. Sept. 20.?South Carolina Democrats have contributed more than 14,000 to the campaign fund for the re-election of Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States. The State Democratic oxecu-| tlve committee meeting yesterday appropriated $250, which Is $50 more than ever contributed before from the meager party funds. THE JjANCASTER NEW81 PLAN FOH JOINT BOHDER POLICE NOW ABANDONED. SW,S,',",S to the International Commission. New London. Conn., Sept. 15.? A suggestion that the Mexican government create a constabulary for "border duty similar to the rurales of the Diaz regime was made today during a brief session of the AmericanMexican joint commission concluding the seootirl f * *" ,i.. 1: v. ~ ? * * I vv.?? VI n.n liCilUt'IUllUIIP. Apparently the plan for a point police force pr?viously discussed was abandoned as impracticable after the commissioners had conferred with Major General Tasker II. Bliss, assistant chief of staff of the United States army. General Hliss, it was learned, made to the joint commission today a dispassionate statement of the situation he believed would follow General Pershing's withdrawal from Mexico before a properly constituted constabulary is created to relieve his troops. It is understood he pointed out problems in the way of on effort to create a border police under dual authority. There is reason to believe the American commissioners have sought to impress their Mexican conferees with the view that Mexico must recognize a responsibility for the depredations of her Nationals may commit on the border if good relations are to he unimpaired. The whole questions of creating a non- j military police force to hunt down i bandits in their hill retreats is has-1 ed 011 this feeling and it is believed the suggestion that the Carranza government undertake this task for itself as an international obligation came from the Mexican commis1 sioners. The theory is that a force of carefully selected mounted police could he disposed in small posts in the hill country. The chase would become an individual pursuit rather then a |military movement which becomes inI effective if the bandits scatter nnd mingle with peaceful residents. The | police would check up the comings and goings of everx man In a suspected community. Moving swiftly 1 and unhampered by women camp follows who form the commissary of a Mexican military force, the ru, rales, it is believed, could do much 1 toward putting a permanent check ! on brigandage.

New York, Sept. 17.?Doubt wa expressed tonight that the threat ened strike tomorrow of crafts at filiated with the carmen who quit their places here September 6 would take place. This view was strengthened when Thomas V. O'Cnnnnv president of the International Longshoremen's association, announced that the members of his union, said to number 35,000, would not be called out before Thursday "if at all." Leaders of the various trades unions were secretive today concerning their plans, contenting themselves with the announcement that they were canvassing the returns of the "sympathetic strike" vote of from 70,000 to 80,000 workers allied with transit operation in this city. It was said that many of the local unions listed to participate in the "walkout" tomorrow had vested strike call powers in their officers and that the workers would he prepared to leave their places on short notice.

The band, including five men and three women, were arrested shortly before midnight last night in a raid by department of justice officials on a fashionable South Side apartment hotel. They are accused of fleecing men and women of social prominence in Chicago, Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia, througn organized ef forts. Their scheme, according to Hinton G. Claubaugh of the department of Justice, was to compromise their victims and then blackmail them. Impersonation of department of justice officials is another charge against the men. They are said to have used the charms of their women confederates to win attention fom the rich men and then to have threatened their victims with prosecution under the Mann act. Those arrested gave the names of Henry Russell, Edward Donahue. Hellen ;Evers, Mrs. Frances Allen. Mrs. Edward Donahue, James Christian. Frank Crocker and George Bland, George Irwin, alleged director of the group, is still at large. The chief charge against the hand is the alleged kidnaping of Mrs. Itegina II.
