HANDLING OF fc CROP-MOVING FUND Southern Hankers Discuss Plans of Distribution with 3IcAdoo. Washington, August T.?In the conference with the Southern bankers "hprp tndav rhp trpasnrv- ripnarrmpnt made it plain that the emergency money to be distributed to help aiove the crops to be used solely for that purpose, and not for general business purposes, and that it must return to the treasury in a reasonable time. About $20,000,000 will be sent out by the treasury to the South and West To aid in moving the crops in August, about $10,000,000 in October, that is, if this much money is needed. It is understood that the department will begin calling the money back in December and will have it all in by March. Bankers at Conference. South Carolina /bankers who attended the conference with the secretary and first assistant secretary of the treasury today were as follows: From Charleston: President R. G. Rhett and Vice President W. H. Sparkman, of the People's National Bank, of Charleston, and President J. S. Simonds, of the first National Bank. From Columbia: J. P. Matthews, G. M. Baker, G. M. Berry and E. W. Robertson. From Greenville: Perry Beattle, G. W. Branzer, A. L. Willis, J. W. ^Norwood and Dr. Davis. From Spartanburg: A. B. Calvert ^ T TJT CimnsAn ilUU o . ?? kjiiuycvu. From Anderson: Wm. A. Hunt. Eleven bankers were present from Charlotte. jk Terms of Distribution I The principal subject of discussion ? was the terms on which distributing ? banks in the South should -lend the crop-moving money to the smaller tanks of their section. The visitors were told that the treasury department would not name any specific rate of interest to be charged the smaller banks, but that it intended to keep a sharp eye on the situation and that if any of- the distributing banks should be caught playing shylock a note would be made of the fact. Few of the bankers would* talk for publication, but most of them expressed warm approval of the secretary's acftion. One bank president* from the far South said that since the department's announcement the deposits in his bank had increased a million dollars. McAdoo Greatest of Tliem All. James M. Mcintosh, one of the leadl ing bankers of Indianapolis, and a lifelong republican, who is here for + pnnferpnnp nf thp rtpnartment with the Western bank representatives tomorrow, said that he considered Mr. McAdoo the greatest secretary of the treasury the country had ever had , that McAdoo acted where others only talked, and that with the passage of the Glass currency bll and the innovations which Secretary McAdoo has ^ made in the policy of the treasury deW partment, financial panics would hereafter be practically impossible in the United States^ RECEIVES 23,000 VOLTS. George Davis Instantly Killed at Greenwood Power House. Greenwood, August 7.?George Davis, a negro, was instantly killed yesterday afternoon at the power .house here when he touched a live wire carrying 23,000 volts. The negro was in the small brick transformer house, where the heavy voltage from the Savannah River* plant is reduced to the voltage used on the local transmission wires. He started to show Engineer Deadwyler, who was with him, a place where the heavy wires had an uninsulated spot, and in doing so he pointed to the k place with a piece of wire which he I held in his hand. Without knowing [ f it he touched another uninsulatef \ place on the wire and was instantly V killed. \ ? \ T oma in rr/in JC VI il JLU1 t VUU1U V*v^r. To the Farmers of Newberry County: I urge you to sow a large grain crop this fall, as it looks now as if the price of cotton will be lower than we hoped at one time. We know that we can grow everything that we need, . *" grain of all kinds, vetches, clover, alW falfa, etc., and if we grow cotton as a surplus crop, we cannot be hurt, lor it will be our own and we can sell when prices suit. Now is your time to lay plans for vniir <->nvpr crnns. as cotton picking will soon be on, and you will nave no time to do anything else. The vetch crop is the easiest of all the legumes fto grow, but by all means use inoculation, as not to use it means failure. You can grow better grain with the vetch with it, besides storing nitrogen in the soil if possible to get, but if you cannot do so, I can furnish you blank application for inoculating material for legumes from the government I have secured 4,000 jpounds of hairy vetch seed for Sep ! tember delivery aud will give pre! ference to my demonstrators, and ! then to any farmer that wants them. I Prices are below 1912. S. M. Duncan, Special Agent. | Secretary Bryan. | Rock Hill Herald. The eyes of the vast majority of the j ! people of this country are just now J j focused upon Secretary of State William J. Bryan. Since he entered the j 1 Cabinet of President Wilson, the en-1 i tire country has been watching Mr. i ; Brvan, which is but natural, in view , of his past record and experiences, J i having been three times the candidate of the democratic party for president and being generally recognized as j one of tne ablest men in the party j uiid as the man hiving tie largest | J personal political following among the democratic leader? of the entire country. At this time Secretary Bryan's attitude toward Mexico and the course the State department is ! likely to take in dealing with the I Mexican problem is the question of most importance and of greatest interest to the public. The views of j the press in this connection are be- j ing freely made known, and some of; them are worth more than passing j consideration. The Herald finds an editorial dealing with this subject in the Greensboro, X. C., Record, which is more than ordinarily interesting. It is as follows: "Next to President Wilson, the eyes of the world are upon Secretary Bryan at this time. Men who have heard the brilliant orator upon the platform and have watched his spectacular career are observing with minutest care his conduct in the first executive position he has ever held, i This is evidenced by the great attention and notoriety that was given the statement he recently made in North Parr-linn tr> thp pffpft that, hp had to ! lecture to supplement his salary. ! Such a statement from the president | himself would not 'have been more i generally noticed. "Just at this time Secretary Bryan has his hands full of the Mexican ! situation, and his handling of this delicate problem will be watched with interest by both Americans anforeigners. Before the Mexican problem is settled, there will be questions of affecting Americans policy with its possessions, South America and the Far East. If Secretary Bryan does not handle these matters with an approved show of executive ability, it will mean his end politicaly. On the other hand, if he masters them, it will gain for him the confidence ; of a class that has heretofore distrust! ed him and give him a place in the j nation that scarcely any man in a [generation has held. "The personality of the secretary i has ever been attractive in the highest; it has been his lack of administrative experience that caused people to mistrust him. Scarcely known in 1S96, by a single speech he won the democratic nomination and polled the | largest vote a democrat has ever re j ceived, over six and a half million, or : more than 200,000 more than Wilson received last fall. In fact, each Of the three times Bryan ran he received more votes than Wilson in 1912, | though Wilson was elected and Bryan each time defeated. O' that famous Denver speech, Mr. Wilson says in j his history of the American people it was wrought not of argument, but of fire.' "There are those of Bryan's friends ; who feel very keenly a sort of party UncrroHtnHo >hnt hp was not nominat | iJUgi UtAbUUV WMV?V ? ^ - _ ed at Baltimore, and thus would have been crystalized the feeling that the leadership that had been a pillar of fire by night had become 'a pillar of cloud by day.' Mr. Bryan would no doubt have been elected last fall if nominated, and his friends say he would have received a larger vote than President Wilson. He did receive a larger vote in each of three other campaigns and there were ti en fewer voters, so that Mr. Bryan's percentage of the vote cast is much better than ?Mr. Wilson's. Mr. Bryan each time he ran received more than 45 per cent of the popular vote, while Mr. Wilson got barely more than 40 per cent, of the total vote last fall. "It was said by Mr. Bryan when the accepted the portfolio that he would take temporally Therf- js a fooling that he is playing part of a deliberate political game. What his plan is no one can foresee, and it is likely that circumstances will shape the secretary's future actions. We venture the prediction, however, that Mr. Bryan will be a candidate beJ I fore a democratic national convenot^ n.3 mav aorflin bp the Dartv's I Liu 11 UXXU Uiu; nominee." * I i Jim Ham Lewis, senator from Illinois, has been mistaken for the head waiter at a Washington hotei.?
