F. Lever Delivers Principal Address of uay ?iin i Advice to Men of Tomornv. - -- } Staff Correspondent The State. Clemson College, Oct. 14.?With enthusiasm that a downpour of rain could j not dampen, the centennial celebra- i tion of the Pendleton Farmers' societv! I closed today at Clemson, claimed by the society as its ward. The heavy condition of the road and the driving rain reduced the attendance, but Mem orial hall, in which the exercises were ! held, was nevertheless filled to its capacity. The program here was featured by Representative Lever's splendid ad! dress. Mr. Lever was in fine voice and ! spirits and it was said after the address that it was perhaps the best Clemson had ever heard. It was a ringing appeal to the youth of the land | to heed the call to arms and by earnest work place the South where it should be in the progress of the country. The rain prevented the dress paI rade, planned in honor of the visitors, i | but an inspection of the college plant was enjoyed after entertainment at I dinner with the 800 students. On the platform, in addition to officers and faculty of Clemson college, .vere Congrssman Lever, Col. Alan Johnstone of Newberry, president of the Clemson board of trustees; Reid Whitford, good roads engineer from : Charleston; Capt. Samuel G. Stoney, president of the Agricultural Society of South Carolina, and other representatives of this society from the ^ lower counties, and the officers of the Pendleton Farmers' societv. President ' Fairfax Harrison of the Southern Rail- 1 way was to have spoken, but was ua- : able to remain for the exercises. Dr. \V. M. Riggs, president of the < college, presided, and introduced Col ' Alan Johnstone, who delivered the ad- 1 dress of welcome. Turning to Col. J. : C. Stribling, president of the Pendle- ' ton society, Col. Johnstone welcomed J him and his society on behalf of the trustees of Clemson. He paid a tribute to the founders of the society, men or 1 liberal education means, he said, who ' founded the society 100 year? ago, not ( only for the good they knew it could ! do, but also to give them a diversion 1 from the humdrum of their lives. 1 These men interested themselves deep- 1 ly in the work of the society and year 1 by year they laid the foundations for 1 Clemson college. It was their influ- I ence, said Col. Johnstone, that inspired ' Thomas G. Clemson to bequeath his ' property for the founding of such an ' institution. ' Forefathers Knew Needs. < Thought of these members of a cen- ] tury ago, the speaker said, called to mind the fact that they had been as 1 keenly alive to the agricultural needs 1 of the country as are the agriculturists of today, and especially in such things as the use of legumes for restoring fertility to impoverished soils. These woffArc o T'A fr?T d n:aiLCi o uu ? c L/WXJL uuuviwwwu ?.V4 v% long time, but, said Col. Johnstone, men are t.oo much inclined not to disturb themselves about such things, even when the knowledge is to be had. To the Pendleton organization, therefore, must go great credit for having been a factor in keeping the principles of soil building and handing them 1 down to the present. Those of the ! present must now consecrate themselves to the use of leguminous, crops, which are nature's way of rebuilding rundown soils. In similar fasMon, he said, most of the discoveries of the century just gone, though apparently marvelous, were in the end but the wider application of truths already known. The trouble with most men is that they are always looking to discover something entirely new, instead of trying to dej velop those things which are already i at nana. Col. Johnstone urged the Clemson students to preserve and foster the truths that had come down to their communities and strive to improve the farms and homes of their neighborhood; to "use the science of Clemson to make every cabin home as full of happiness and comfort as a palace." "No man," he said /'need be afraid that his life will not be useful if he will only set himself to develop the talents which have been given to him." Dr. Riggs introduced Congressman Lever. Mr. Lever had come with the intention of delivering a prepared address, but upon seeing so large a part of his audience composed of the Clemson students, he addressed himself es j pecially to them, holding their atten' tion from first to last and winning enthusiastic applause. The War Between the Sections, he said, had sent to death or maimed for ! life one-tenth of the South's populaj ticn and had destroyed more than, i three billions' worth of the South's wealth. Then had come the saturnliaof misrule, lasting in this State until tne redemption ot' the State by Hampton. As a result it was not until 1S90 that the wealth of the South had climbed; back to its 136U mark. Therefore, it j might truly be said that the present South began its history in 1890. Mr. j Lever then showed what wonderful j aitrpa nau ween ian.c:ii m mat oauii i time. (ireeley's Oluess Wrong. The speaker referred to Horace j Greeley's famous saying: "Go .West' young man, and grow up with the! country." He had come to the con-! elusion, he said, that Greeley, when j he said this, could not have foreseen j the things that are happening in the ! South today, could not have foreseen the wonderful natural developments, such as tne coal fields of West iVirginia, the iron mines of Alabama, the hardwood industry of the Southern Appalachians, tne development 01 j shipping on the world's longest coast j line, that from Baltimore to Brownsville, Texas. He could not have known, for example, that South Carolina contains more miles of navigable rivers than any other State, could not have foreseen the wonderful utilization of waterpower. Greeley, said Mr. Lever, could not have foreseen these things, nor did he foresee that the South was to become the great agricultural section of the world. He did not know that the experts of the world would be saying in 1915 that beef cattle and pork could j ? -t 1-- 4,-x? ^: oe prouuceu nipre cneapiy in me cuul.i , than in any other section. He did not know the value of Bermuda grass,! which grows so successfully in this j section. He did not know that science was to discover that the mosquito was the carrier of yellow fever and malaria, thereby enabling the South to improve its health conditions. Greeley did not know that by proper irainage and treatment the coast country of this State could be made as fertile as the valley of the Xile. S'or did he know that in every South *rn State there was to be an agricul- j :ral college, training boys in farm science. Greeley did not know that South Carolina would today be makng the greatest strides of its history n urban and rural education. South to Front.. Pursuing this idea, Mr. Lever sai-J :hat Greeley could not foresee that kvithin a generation the day would iome when every principal chairmanship in the house of representatives tvould be filled by a Southern man, nor ;hat the man who controlled the navy kvould be a North .Carolinian, that thrlead of the nation's postal affairs kvou 1 r3 be a Texan, as would be the at :orney general, nor that the head of :he department of agriculture would be a North Carolinian who received nis education and inspiration in South j Carolina. It was not in Greeley's' dreams that the chief justice of the nation would come from Louisiana; r.or could he have foreseen rliat the ?hief executive of 100,000,000 people, Df a nation whose destiny an3 work in the near future must put it in th? front rank of nations, would be a man born below Mason and Dixon's i?ne and one who would, receive much of his ' education and inspiration in South Carolina. Southern statesmanship, sa'id Mr. Lever, is again in power and Southern statesmanship will see to it that a new freedom, industrially, commercially, agriculturally, will come about in the United States. If Emerson could see the splendid possibilities of the South, of this Piedmont section, it is likely that he would be glad to say, in place of his famous epigram, "The South is but another name for opportunity." "But do not think that all is brighc before you," said Mr. Lever, addressing the students. "All is not bright before you without your help." He reminded them that there are still huge problems to be solved. With about 25,000 white men of voting age as tenants and about the same number as mill operatives, nearly one-half of the white voters of the State are people who do not own their homes. South Carolina's great problem of the future is one of home ownership. Another great problem, he said, is rurai education. Others are those of rural marketing and rural finance. "Your great duty," he said to the students, "as you leave this institution is to go back to your homes and become the leaders around whom the ambitions and hopes and aspirations of ivour rural communities shall of necessity revolve. T iere is your great, duty, there is your opportunity, that should be your purpose. The big problems can not be solved unless these young men will go forth and dedicate their lives to solaing them." W.r. Lever described the unselfish character of Alexander Stephens, whose epithaph, "Xon sibi sed aliis," meaning "Not for self, but for others," might be made the motto of every young man in South Carolina. Following Mr. Lever's address, the Pendleton Farmers' society held a brief meeting at which Capt. Reid Whitford, secretary of the sanitary and drainage commission of Charleston, explained to the members his plan for a State highway commission and a State system of highways, urging the society to give its support to the! measure. During the exercises music was fur nished by the Clem?on band, the young musicians being frequently applauded. COTTON TO BRING HUNDRED A BALE Congressman Hefiin of Alabama Says Need For Staple Will Exceed the Quantity Available For Use. Washington, Oct. 17.?iCotton at more than $100 a bale is predicted by Representative Heflin of Alabama in a statement issued from his office. Mr. Heflin says that the cotton holding movement in the South will become general and that prices will soar, all on account of the fact that the war is using cotton faster than it can be produced. He declares that the cotton I crop for this year will not be over j 1C,000,000 bales and that domestic con-j sumption will account for all but 2,000,000 bales and that 2,000,000 bales will fall far short of foreign needs. He declares that already this year more than 9,000,000 bales of cotton have open exported. "Cotton prices will be higher than at any time since the War Between the Sections," said Mr. Heflin. "Germany is already in the Southern market buy- : ing and storiDg cotton for future use. It will require more than 500,000 bales of cotton and linters for the manufacture of powder and high explosive shells for our army and naivy. The; cotton holding movement will become! general in the South before very long I and then prices will soar. I shall not j be surprised to see cotton seed selling' at $60 a ton before Christmas. Cotton i seed meal is selling as high at $36 a | ton and some are asKing $4U. uouon j seed oil has advanced in price and is in great demand. Cotton seed hulls are being use more extensively .than ever and the linters cut from the seed are being consumed more rapidly than ever before, when bleached linters sell for 10 cents per pound. I am expect- j ing to see $100 and more for a bale of ! coc;on and $60 to $65 for a ton of seed.

Estimates For Departments Will Run to Something Over $1,200,000,000. I -w- T>rt? AAA AAA uelicit mis lear ^o,uuu,uuu. Washington, Oct. 14.?The largest estimates of government expenditures ! ever submitted to the secretary of the ! treasury of the United States in time ot peace will be presented for the next riscal year tomorrow for discussion hv f-nn ffrpssional committees inadivanCQ 1 of the regular session. They will bo ! examined in detail by President Wilson and his cabinet next week. With an estimated increase for national defense of about $150,000,000 1 over last year, together with the cost of new duties imposed on the state department and other branches of the ! government by reason of the war, it is possible the amount of the proposed aDDroDriation will be augmented to a total of about $1,240,000,000. In congress agrees to the administration program for strengthening the army and navy it will be obliged to provide for additional revenue legislation or the executive branch of the government must issue bonds. Although no estimate of receipts for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1916, in which the increased expenditures will take effect has been made by Secretary McAdoo, officials now are contViov no n Tint Mlint UTirvn TTKVA than $750,000,000 for the twelve months, and some believe the total income will not go over $700,000,000. Two Bevenue Measures. Congress is to be asked to pass two revenue measures early in the coming session, one extending the emergency war tax which expires December 31, and the other providing for retention ot the present duty on sugar. Passage of these measures, however, would not increase the present revenues. With both in effect at the present time there has been a deficit of $35,000,00. Estimates for government departments, except state, war and navy, are virtually the same as last year. Addi tional forces in the diplomatic and con- > sular service and. at the state department and extraordinary expenses abroad in the work being done by American embassies and legations will require an increase of about $1,'300,000 fcr the state department. The $2,000,000 appropriated by congress as &n emergency war fund for use of that department has almost been spent, but much of it already has been or will be reimbursed, so that the reappropriation will not represent any real -expense. Deficit in Sight. The ordinary disbursements of the government last year were about $732,000,000. If the receipts are as much as $750,000,000 in the coming year and the appropriations of all government departments but the state, war and navy remain the same, there l still would be, with the added budget I for national defence, an estimated deficit of more than $135,000,000. ! The secretary of the treasury now has authority to issue Panama canal bonds | to the amount of $240,000,000. That would be a temporary remedy, however,, and may not be resorted to if the administration proceeds on the theory that the government will mainM*ir> tvio camp ratp of pxnenditures for \ Laill IUV 4 I national defense during coming (years as now is being proposed for the next session of congress. Estimates for the department of commerce will show an increase over last year's total?$16,774,000?if they are agreed upon in the form now befc/ie Secretary Redfield. The principal request for more money will come from the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, which desires to take advantage of the opportunity af! forded by the war to extend its foreign i ^Thp roast and i ii duc 5aui^uj/iv". amw ?-- ?._ __ I geodetic survey wants an appropria| tion for a thorough survey of the Alaa! kan coast. The department of labor contemplates few changes in estimates, which last year amounted to $4,443,000. Estimates for the postoffice department will be slightly above the $299,I 000,000 estimateed for the present iyear. j The increase is credited to the auto matic promotions of carriers ana clerks provided for by congress, increased pay for railway transportation in the Middle States and -the natural growth of the system. Estimates for < the department as a whole wrere prepared with a view t oresumptian of normal peace conditions. In the interior department, estimates are less than the appropriation of $210,000,00 for the current year, excluding $8,000,000 far construction of the government railroad In Alaska. Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture had not completed his estimates tonight, but they will not vary much from the present appropriation of about $24,000,000.
