WELCOME TO COX
GIVEN' IX AIKEX.
Aiken. March 27.?Speaking to approximately
2.000 people here this afternoon
former Gov. James M. 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

prolonged cheers. 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.

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-^

ther rise in the Ohio is also expected j due
to rains and considerable water j
is reported coming out of the Cum-1
berland and Tennessee rivers.
A considerable rise at St. Louis | j
was also reported last ngiht and to -1 \
day. i i
The revised prediction for a stage' r
exceeding 43 feet at Memphis was! (
issued this noon after reports of i j
heavy rains in the central Mississippi, j c
Ohio and Missouri river valleys hud j
oeen received . , f
Reports from all parts of the levee! v
system south of Cairo tonight say j c
that all are holding safely and that! j
there are no indications of serious i s
trouble anywhere. Seepage and f
sand boils are of frequent occur- ^
rence all along the line, but with the j
adequate patrol system inforce these c
minor troubles are soon located and ^
repairs made before the trouble c
spreads.
Harry X. Pharr, chief of the St.
Francis board in charge of 170 miles
of embankment extending from the
Missouri state line to the mouth of
St. Francis river .tongint issued a bulletin
declaring thatf . reports ' from,
every point in the 'district received'
showed that the levee was j
in splendid condition and able tc [
withstand a stage of 43.5 feet- aH
Memphis without injury at any point, j
The bulletin predicts that the stage
of water will reach -that of 1010. but;
adds that with the exception of a
short distance . at the extreme southern
end. all levees' in the district have
been raised to withstand a stage of
4S feet at Memphis'.

JOHN BURKE'S
GREAT FIGHT.
Former Governor John Burke of
S'orth Dakota was Treasurer of the
"nited States under the Woodrow
iVilson regime. Vou will find his
tame on all the paper money issued
luring that period. A year ago .Mr.
Durke joined a big brokerage house
>perating in several cities, and gave
t nis name, a lew weeKs ago tne
irm suspended; and the financial
vorld sympathetically chuckled beause
"another farmer had been taken
n by Wall Street." But Burke ishowing
the world that the broadisted
sons of 'The Dakotas do not
lie off so easily; and instead of "cryng
over spilt milk'" John Burke is j
apitalizing his lifelong reputation for
tonesty by meeting with his numerous'
