"I am|a] more than hopeful over the outlook j R and feel sure that some of the Re- j q publicans are going to wake .up toI c the surprise of their lives on the day I p; after the election. j l "I returned in company with Sena- q tor Smith and Frank Robinson of i Sj McCormick. The others of our party p are on somewhere behind. Some are a planning trips through Canada and g Yellowstone park and others will make several side trips before they p return to this state. We had a won- ' r, derful trip through a wonderful w country, but I am glad to be home \ again. After all, there isn't any place ' q like South Carolina. i ^ "The convention was composed of about as enthusiastic a body of men y a^ one could want to see and South <3 Carolinians present entered into the r, cmrit. of the occasion in their usual ' i ^ ? wrhole-souled>fashion. , ? "We passed through some sections < 4 in 'which the crops were in splendid; shape. In Kansas the crops Were es-j pecially good and evidences of pros-; a *? perity were on every hand."

In a statement issued yesterday, G Senator Smith says of the conven:ion: th ' ax Bright Outlook. ! di I am very optimistrc over the outlook for the success of the Democrat- ?] ic party. I was chosen fby my delegation to represent the state on the ni committee on resolutions and plat- to fojm. The spirit ot tne memoersnip e( of this committee was a forecast of in the spirit that characterised the en- w tire convention; a pride in the accom- cl plishment of the party sinc.? it had hj been in power and a clearcut state- n< ment without evasion of the things that it stood for.

We pledge our party to stand tl for equality of rates both import tl and export for the ports of the coun- \v try to the end that there may be sc adequate and fair facilities and rates for the mobilization of the products G of the country offered for shipment." C nr>v.,'c Q moftor nf nrimp imnort- si JL 11 i O AO U V* r - - 4 ance to the entire South. The dis- w crimination in rates has been one of n? the most serious handicaps to the ti proper handling of Southern prod- is ucts and to the development of s< Southern resources. The neglect of Southern and Gulf ports is hardly c< less than a crime against the people b of the United States. The general II welfare of the United States is de- a pendent upon the development of all ti " " x- : /I her resources, regardless 01 sections, u And I was delighted to see that the ti platform of the Democratic party t S stcod squarely for this principle. I e: do not believe that there ever was s< gathered together at a national con- a vention a body of men moved by so t< single a purpose, and that was, that g Democracy should win. j d There was, to my great gratifica- o' tion, a recognition from every state in the union of the vital importance' of fostering in every right way the great cause of agriculture. The na- 1c ?J xi-- :x "\1 tion ana me states cuiupusiug it* wuc * > brought face to face, by the terrible ki issues of this world's war, with the m importance of the products of the hi farm. And with the spirit that at- H tested this recognition they devoted tl gladly so much space in the platform ^ to this cause. It is needless for me D to say that this was peculiarly grati- 01 fying to me who has for so long a c< t'!me striven to bring this about. ; sn All Join Hands. ' t? In spite of what the Republican oi papers intimated and said about the r? force or forces that would control rc the selection of our candidate, there e< was a wide diversitv of ODinion as to m who would be the most . available. <"> Each group fought loyally and stal- bi wartly for the-one they thought best but when the selection was made the fight was forgotten in the loyalty and zeal to the Democratic cause and they joined hands and heart to place h< the one thus chosen in the White House. i hi Whenever the name of President tc Wilson was mentioned there was v< tremendous applause and enthusiasm, tc The convention did not hesitate at m any time to pay its tribute to the M stricken man in the White House st whom they believed had led America J5 and the world to its first real vision cc - 11. 11.! i. ri*. +VlQ ?

A H ?e State, 13th. hi South Carolina is faced with the T 5St acute fuel shortage in its his- p: ry, in the opinion of B. B. Gossettj Anderson, former fuel administra-j tl r of this state. j c< Mr. Gossett has written a letter to' jvernor Cooper in which he re-;aj ?ws conditions as regards the sup-|u y of coal and he urges that the' g. uth insist that it be furnished with, ^ i full percentage of coal cars. He J 0ggests that Governor Cooper call ^ conference of committees, from' ^ ^rth Carolina. South Carolina and iss-w'm in />nnev!pr thp matter of .ui^ia tv uv/4 v..w v al shortage and to deeide upon { ^ me practical plan to meet the sit-' ? ition. ' ?( The former administrator says at unless something definite and fective can be done to bring about; [ improvement in the situation in e near future, thfe hardships and conveniences enclurea in ine winter g 1917 will be as nothing compared ^ ith what is in store for the state is winter. j ^ Industrial plants* in this state are >le to secure sufficient coal to keep j em in operation now only with the -\ eatest difficulty, according to Mr. i ossett, while as a rule coal is avail>le in abundance at this season of e year. Prevailing prices for coal ^ e prohibitive, says Mr. Gossett, or- ^ nary steam coal now selling around ) to $10 at the mines, which means i 2 nr Si 4 r)9.r ton delivered. . j n It is next to impossible to buy doestic coal at any price, according ^ ? Mr. Gossett, a:id doubt is express-;* 1 as to whether or not the dealers ^ ; this state have as much as a two eeks supply in the aggregate, in-s ^ uding coal und:r contract which * is not been shipped and which may ;ver be shipped. I ^ The nresent situatioa with regard ^ > coal, Mr. Gossett says, is due al- " ost altogether to a shortage of coal j irs. A large part of the fuel needs F South Carolina is supplied by the linchfield Fuel company, which is v cated on the C., C. and 0. railroad, j at at the present time the produc-; < on of these mines is considerably j ss than 50 per cent. <pf normals due' ) the shortage of cars. The C., C.:, nd O. road actually owns about 6,-}/ 00 coal cars, Mr. Gossett says, but y t the present time 5,000 of these ^ irs are scattered* all over the ^ "* 1 ?4-U^vv. linoc tirVlOrpnS nnea un umci xnivo^ ?av*w?w . r iey should be available for use in'' lis territory, which availability j * ould eliminate the fuel problem inij ) far as it concerns the South. In the course of his letter Mr. j ossett says that the South, and the ; > arolinas and Georgia in particular,' lould insist that it be furnished t c ith its full percentage of coal cars!k ot only because this section is entled to them, but also because there < no transportation problem in this k ?ction and cars can be kept moving. , Mr. Gossett then suggests that! Dmmittees from neighboring states; e called in to discuss tne situation.; ; is also suggested that the Ameri-j an Cotton Manufacturers' associaon, as well as the Carolina and the , eorgia associations, have represen- ( itives at this meeting, and that the < outh Carolina Cotton Seed Crush- j rs' association also have a repre>ntative. It is also suggested that trustworthy coal expert be invited , > the meeting. ^:d Mr. Gossett sug- .J ests the name oi G. A. Reese, presiof the Clinchfield Fuol compr.% y ^ f Spartanburg.
