Cox of Ohio appealed to his audience to be true and steadfast to the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy and await with confidence the final outcome of democratic principles. Henry S. Johnson, president of the AiKeri ciittiiiuci \.uiuuitii.v, j.. v sided over the meeting and introduced Mayor D. W. Gaston. Jr., who wel! corned the visitors and in turn intro-1 I I j duced Governor Cooper. Governor j Cooper paid a tribute to Governor j Cox and introduced him as one who was "as triumphant in defeat as he was in victory." Governor began his address with a tribute to the beauty of Aiken and i its possibilities. He referred to the work of William C. Whitney and to the "diversified efforts" of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Hitchcock in laying the foundation of Aiken as a winvter resort ... v, i He discussed the agricultural conditions as he had observed them and [.encouraged the farmers to grow more hogs and to practice diversification. He referred to the campaign now on ih South Carolina for the cooperative < iharketlng of cotton on a business ba '6is. Denmark was cited as an ex-' sample of cooperatvie marketing. Roads and schools, he said, go hand 'V in hand. South Carolina can build roads much cheaper than Ohio because of climatic conditions, he said. Governor Cox said that he had the annual reports of every state officer in South Carolina and he congratulated South Carolina on having its state government run with such efficiency and economy. Paying his respects to the Republican party and especially to one Henry Cabot Lodge, he referred to the four pact treaty as a "bob tail league" and expressed the hope that the United States mgiht some day under wise* leadership win a berth in the "international league." t Governor Cox closed with a tribute to Woodrow Wilson, "that silent soldier who will not dramatize his wounds." His prayer was that God would grant unto Woodrow Wilson ( the joy of living to see his policies vindicated. As the speaker closed his address the band broke into the stir-! ring strains of ''Dixie" and the vast| audience sprang to its feet and gave First N BA I 'ondensed * ASSETS: iture and Fixtures $ an f 180,2 00.00) ids 33,C anks and U.

As the audiencestood silent, Mr. Johnson, chairman,' thanked Governor Cox for the in- j : spiration of his address and asked j j that he take back with hint the j thought that here in South Carolina.. men and women were standing with eager hearts and willing hands anxious , to take their place and part in inter-, national affairs. Governor Cox is leaving Aiken | j Tuesday for Birmingham where he1 | speaks at the launching of the mil-, lion dollar drive for Alabama State1 College of Agriculture. From Birmingham he goes to Jackson. Miss., J for an address before the general assembly. Before the address today Governor j and Mrs. Cox and Governor and Mrs. Cooper were the guests of Mrs. Wal-' ter Duncan at a beautiful luncheon at the Highland Park hotel. m ^ ^ . m " w m LEVEES TO STAND BEFORE FLOODS | | Memphis. March 27.?With a Mis-j sissippi river stage exceeding 43 feet at Memphis and 52 feet at Helena, j Ark., predicted before the end of the week, government and levee engi?. i neers tonight expressed the belief that the levees .south of Cairo will stand all the strain an?V that, no serious break is .looked for, with the water now in sight between Cairo and Mem- . phis. .1' Every possible precaution for emer- ; gency has been made by both federal and state authorities and levee en-1 gineers have settled down for a period] of watchful waiting.' Guards are pa-! trolling practically every foot of levee J between Cairo and Helena, on . both r sides of the river engineers have been [ j >\ assigned their stations at points where j there is a remote probability that j trouble may develop, thousands of j sand bags have been distributed to i 14 ** I strategic points where they can be rushed where a dangerous sityj?tion may develop withn ia few hours and forces of workmen are ready to be assigned wherever needed. The rvier at Memphis tonight shows approximately 41.6 fe^t on the gauge and is expected to top the 42 foot mark before morning at the present rate of rise. At Cairo the river is still stationery, but with indications, according to weather bureau officials, that, the heavy rains in the central vahey may cause a slight rise there before tomorrow night which may continue for several days. ^A^fur-^ 1 ?
