Fort Mill Time*, Oct. 13: An effort Is being made by a number of Fort Mill business men to arrange with the Western Union Telegraph company for the Installation of electric clocks In their various places. It Is proposed to install clocks for the cotton mills, the public school, probably one for the use of the public in the postoffice and severed in Main streot business houses. -Lieut. Herbert Mcrrltt, U. S. A., Fort IfiU soldier, who is stationed with his regiment, the 59th coast artillery at Fort Mills, Philippine islands, has the thanks of'"the Times fcr two re cent copies of Tho Corregridor Weekly, published in the interest of the officers and men of the American army located in the Philippines. Lieut. Merritt is a son of Mr. and Mra Monroe Iferritt of Fort Mill township and has seen many years' service in the army, having enlioted in 1900 B. M. Lee of Fort Mill left Monday afternoon for Mobile, Ala., to attend the annual meeting: of the Nallonal Nut Growers' association, now in session In that city. Mr. Lee is interested in the pecan Industry. On his farm two miles south of town he has several thousand trees which are now bearing as fine nuts as are to be found anywhere. "There is an ever increasing demand foi first class pecans at good prices." said Mr. Leo a day or two ago. "and if I do not make more out. of the pecan business than I could have made out of cotton, even had the boll weevil not appeared in this community, I. shall be greatly disappointed. Pecan trees begin to bear in a ? few years and one does not have to wait a lifetime to have nuts for sale, as some people mistakenly think. The oil of this section seems adapted to the ^0can industry as my own grove lead* me to believe and I should like | to sen. others in this community enter the Business' of growing pecans for market" A crowd estimated at froro*l50 to 200 people, made up principally of ehtployes of the Fort Mill cotton mills, Tuesday evening- at 7.45 o'clodk foregathered at Confederate parkland tcf more than an hour and a half listened to speeches by Miss Anna^.Neary of Baltimore, representative of the American Federation of Labor and Edward F. Callahan, organiser for the United Textile Workera df America, urging the help in the local mills to join the textile union.

Miss Neary said. In the course of her address Miss Neary referred to the peasant relations which existed between the management of the Fort Mill mills and the workers, but added that there was no assurance that these|relatlens would continue indefinitely and ifor that reason, among othera she urged those of her hearers who worked in the mills and were not already members of the textile union to Join it. Following the address of Miss Neary, Edward F. Callahan spoke for ahout an hour. He was given close attention and his arguments in behalf u. thef Imion seemed to interest his audience.

On. account of the large number of entries in the cattle exhibits together with the task of assembling and cataloguing the awards, the final and complete results in the livestock department will not be available for publication for two or three days. It is the consensus of opinion that the cattle exhibits of Catawba and Meckdenburg are evenly matched. Both are fine examples of what good breeding and intelligent methods will produce.

The British Federation of Industries representihg 90 per cent, of the i country's manufacturers and many of the big banks and insurance compan- ! ies have suggested to Premier Lloyd George according to a London dis.patch that international economic pressure be brought by the two or three great commercial powers on certain other countries, not named, to force the latter to balance their budgets and deflate their currency. This sensational suggestion was embodied in n long memorandum of proposals for tho revival of trade. The document says: "There is little doubt that inter- j national action will be required before j certain countries can be induced to j adopt a sound currency policy. It , would therefore seem wise to approach one or more of the other great commercial powers and endeavor, in ' agreement with them, to impose a common currency policy or. the rest of \ the world. "The means of influence at the dis- j posal of two-great commercial powers acting in agreement would be j enormous. They would include the I extending or withholding of credits, the manipulation of existing inter- I national debts, or, in the case" of some ] countries, the manipulation of repana tion payments, and finally, in the event | of extreme recalcitrancy, the economic ; boycott. "The ends to he sought by the application of these weapons would be obviously the cessation of inflatibn by all countries, the balancing- of budgets and then the stabilization of currencies by anchoring them again to gold. Pressure might also be exerted to induce countries which are constantly varying their tariffs upward to ; lower them or at least to stabilize the . rates until more normal conditions arc j reached." These proposals, although more do- | tailed and more frankly lending support to a drastic line of action, indi- , cate about the same attitude as that takert by the International Chamber 1 of Commerce Convention in London some months ago. These views were more cautiously voiced at the time by Edward A. Filene of Boston, one of the Chamber's directors, in an interview with The World. The following significant reference to future British-American commercial competition is also made in the federation's memorandum: "it seems probable that circumstances will to some extent assist us in obtaining a share in the remaining markets of the world considerably larger in projK>rtion than that which we commanded before the war, since the creditor position of the United States coupled with the maintenance of a high tariff makes it extraordinarily difficult for her to develop competition as against ourselves In for- ; I eipn markets." 7L OiteBiq Sou GREATEST L-IV1 in the history of the Fair Association. iiiK the holl weevil menace.

Sustaining Preliminary Committee Inquiry Without Much Damage. It is evident that the Ku KIux Klan j has more friends in congress today,1 writes a Washington correspondent,, than prior to the beginning of the in-j vestigation at the hands of the rules : committee of the house. In the beginning, the klan had no friends unless a few socalled members might be cited as exceptions. There a-as an idea that the klan was builded by smart men who played on the prej- : udice of others not so smart As an , organization bent on the extermination of Catholics and Jews, as thcklan was | alleged to be, it was little respected by members of congress who believe in ; freedom of religious worship. But in the course of the investigation a number oY affluent negroes, making use of the Boston accent, vok advantage of immunity which.the Capitol offered, to express their real opinion of the white men of the South. It was evident that these negroes, ' armed with no specific information, j proceeded along the lines of "general information." They confused the pres- j ent' klan with that which operated in the face of armies of occupation and by unparalleled determination and courage, saved the civilization of the South, and no doubt that of the United States. The armies of occupation immodi ately after the Confederate war aroused a hope in the negro breast which was killed. The educated negro of New England has never forgotten and never forgiven. The witnesses before the rules committee displayed their resentment that Southern pe< p!c still denied their claim of social equality?cr equality in any other material sense. ^heso New England negroes were heard with satisfaction by certain members ot the committee, among them Representative S. D. Fcss of Ohio, president, In other days, of a negro school. There is no question but that this situation caused Southerners to feel more kindly towards the klan than ever before. W. J. Simmons of Atlanta made a good witness. He seemed to he aware that the committee had no positive, irrefutable evidence of crime committed by the klan? or graft practiced. He denied all charges, boldly denounced C. Anderson Wright, a former member of the klan, for having violated his oath in a series of articles/ending to expose the klan, and declared that practically everything said of the klan was untrue or grossly exaggerated. He made one egregious blunder. Aware that the majority of congress is Republican, ho testified that thf? New York World had attempted to expose the klan in the hope of forcing congress to proceed against it with the result that those of the klan, in the next election, would vote the Democratic ticket. His statement was regarded as exceedingly westk, and as an indication of fawning to the dominant party. Otherwise, the "wizard" escaped with his tail feathers. The committee is endeavoring to ascertain whether or not there should be a congressional investigation of the "The Bank With the C cmm ??imimtwmmtm onmauwoo *3KJ*?uj(wn ! ?*?I lUTTTI ilWI I kirn. Such ;?n investignt on might lie ordered. Negroes, Catholic-, and Jews are insistent that such an investigation be had. Republicans want to retain the afreet ion of the negro, and would wean the Catholics and the Jews from their Democratic moorings. Mr. Fess the Ohio member, predicts that congress will investigate. lie thinks that already evidence has been adduced which will result in criminal piosccution. IJut .Mr. Fess is not only a partisan Republican, but also a candidate for the senate in Ohio, where the negro vote is the balance of power. He Is one who has given indication of a regard for the negro in excess of that displayed by men who !>' licve solely that the negro should be 1 ' D-F-EFr^p ^ ~ ^ QO'JJmilA ,3 c. il!\ Carolina Fair0 3 STOCK SHOW 41 Come and see how others are meetLE RACES i edy ears.
