Secretary Daniels, turning from he bridge of the Montana after the ast destroyer had passed, said: "This s a realization of a dream I kept conitantly in view for six years since I 'irst came to the Pacific coast short y after induction into office to study laval conditions. I conceived of an American flee that was truly an American fleet, at home and in equal itrength on both coasts.

The man who I stands up when he hoes does not re-1 gard it as hard work since his hoe can only dig under and not in. Doesn't it make you tired to watch some folks hoe? They get all tied up in a knot and seem to think their job is to move the entire patch clean down to China.

I < POTASH EMBARGO LIFTED. Senator Smith Wins Fight for the Farmers. P. H. MeGowan in The State. Washington. Aug. 7.?Senator E. j D. Smith of South Carolina, who ap-1 peared last week with Senator Fre- ! linhuysen of New Jersey and a delegation of farmers before the war trade board to urge the lifting of the embargo against imports of potash 1 from enemy countries, was informed by the board today that from this date such imports might be freely made from every source except Hungary and such parts of Russian as remain under Bolshevik controlRetention of the embargo until October was demanded by producers of trona potash and otner American potash interests, their expectation being that by that date congress would have provided a protective tariff and that their own production would be equal to domestic demands. I Farmers opposed this policy on the ground that prices of potash were ruinous and that some of the American potash had wrought damage to crops. William Banks of the South Carolina department of agriculture exhibited photographs taken in the Pee Dee region of his State, showing many instances of such damage, j Heretofore potash could be imported jonly under certificate of non-enemy j origin. The board has also by the I order issued today raised the embargo on sugar and on wh,eat and wheat flour, the control of the latter two items being passed to the wheat director. Representatives of the American Potash Producers* Association told the war trade board that to lift the embargo now would enable German syndicates to make contracts for supplying the American demand years in advance at lower prices than the American infant industry could meet, although with a minimum of five years protection the American producers believe they could supply at least half of the home requirementsNebraska producers said that if the I OTV1 Vio-i*rrn wot*** until OC tober and freight rates put into effect, which had been practically agreed to by the railroad administration, they would be able to resume operations immediately and would eventually make American agriculture independent of Germany in respect to potash. i Subscribe to The Herald and News i Conde The Natio Newb t From reporf Showing Conditio RESOURCES Loans and Investments . . .

C., Aug. 4.?The I South Carolina Cotton Association is I in receipt of the following dispatch from Washington: "The house of representatives has just passed a bill which would amend in two particulars the existing law so as to facilitate the carrying of cotton and other non-perishable marketable staples to a more liberal extent than has heretofore prevailed. The measure stands an excellent chance of becoming law." Representative W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw, who is a member of the banking and currency committee, introduced bills looking to this end in consequence of request from the South Carolina Cotton Association. The result was that the banking and currency committee reported a bill which provides that "drafts and bills of exchange secured by shipping documents conveying or securing title to goods shipped, and including demand obligations when secured by documents covering commodities in actual process of shipment, and also including bankers' acceptance of the kinds described in section 13 of the ' federal reserve act" shall not be conI sidered - money borrowed and sub! ject to the provision that no one per I son could borrow over iu per cent ! of the banks' capital and surplus. Under ruling by the comptroller in 1917 it was decided that if such drafts were held by the banks for more than a reasonable time awaiting ! the arrival of the cotton or other j merchandise they become promissory j notes and subject to this 10 per cent ! provision. Under the present method | of handling cotton, this ruling tied i up the shipper of cotton and hamper; ed the dealing in it very seriously. j The bill which has passed the house j wouJd make it absolutely sure that j as long as the goods are in shipment j and the draft and bill of lading are ! held together, the 10 per cent limit I does not apply. In addition to that ; the bill amends the law so that a I ; farmer or a merchant may borrow i on notes secured by shipping docuj ments, warehouse receipts, compress j receipts, etc., as much as 25 per cent of the capital of the bank, provided the warehouse receipts securing the note are worth 1 per cent above the amount of the note. In other words, with a warehouse receipt for cotton for $10,000, a man can borrow $9,000 and he can do enough of this to take up 25 per 1844 .used Stat OF nal Bank of >erry, South Ca t to the Comptroller of tl n at the Close of Bus $1,020,518.48 Capital Stock .
