pbvious. This country does not want
to be involved in European political
affairs nor-in Asiatic politics. (Neitb-
er do the republics of the South. War
is breeding to the E^st and to the
West. The American continent is sep-
arated'from these warlike regions by
the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific
ocean.
Also to the south of us lies a great
opportunity for peaceful development
of mutual trade. South America is the
imtural market for American manu
facturers and the United States is a
natural market for South America a
raw materials.
Likewise, South America offers to
the adventurous, pioneering spirit of
our youth as great opportunity for
exploration and development as our
West did in the early days of our
continental expansion.
A Great American Empire
It is not to be, wondere<l at, there
fore, that President Roosevelt should
cherish the dream of a united West-
tem hemisphere, which could con
ceivably be entirely self-contained and
free to develop a vast, empire with a
new type of culture and civilization,
in no way dependent upon ^ther Eu
rope, As^ or Africa. If that dream
should be realized then the president-’s
\isit to Buenos Aires would, indeed,
be a historical occasion.
- Secretary of State Cordell Hull has
the same vision. He met the president
at the Argentine capital and will re
main there throughout the interna
tional conference to participate in the
discuflsions, which he hopes will result
in the formation of an all-American
League of Nations.
That» American business and indus
try is at least hopeful that something
will develop from this conference to
broaden our export mark^ and ren
der the opportunities^ wWeb South
America offers more readily available
' to North Amwicjm capital and enter
prise, is indicatedJby the facit that
Harper^bley, president of the Cham
her of Commerce of the United States,
flew down to Buenos Aires last week
to attend the conference. Sibley also

tries and capitals
All the reports that come into
Washington' indicate that the Latin-
Americajfr'pwples and their govern
ments have shaken off the fear of ag-
. gressions on the part of the "Colos
sus of the North.** This was a fear
mainly fostered by self-seeking poli
ticians of a type now rapidly losing
influence in the southern continent.
At present ^e road is clearer than
it has .ever been for such ‘ a Pan-
American understanding, if not al
liance. Such as has ' beCn the dream
of far-seeing statesmen for many
years.

Democrats Set
Record In "State
Columbia, Nov. 27.—The minority
vote in the South Carolina general
election dwindled to the lowest fig
ures since the turn of the century, to
day with the declaration of reputedly
the state’s largest Democratic vote of
all time.
Socialists and othei^ minorities tlid
not appear in the official returns and
two Republican tickets got only
votes, the smallest number registered
in opposition to Democratic pre.siden-
tial Sectors at Jeast as far back as
1900 by official records.
'The Democratic electors got 113,791
votes, or 98.'B7 per cent of the total
cast. Officials it was the largest
vote since 1900 and in all probability
the largest ever given the party in
the general election.
The state board of canvassers also
declared results in favor of constitu
tional amendments for socii^ security
and permitting larger school districts
in approximately half the counties of
the state, and returns from oongres-
sibnal, ^te, and county elections.
City Of Laurens
Faces $10,500 Suits
Says the Laurens Advertiser:
Two suits aggregating $10,500
against the City of. Laurenk were
filed in the clerk of court's office
Moniiay by C. R. Garrett in behalf of
himself and as guardian ad litem of
Miss Louise Garrett, •htfi daughter, as
the result of an automobile turn-over
at the intersection oi{ -North Harper
and Fleming streets on the night of
November 6th.
Miss Garrett, it is alleged, was
driving on Fleming street in the di
rection of North Harper and drove
over the embankment which flanks
North Harper at the street intersec
tion, just beyond the bridge crossing
Little river at that point
The complaint in the two cases,
filed by Huff A Huff and R. E. Babb,
attorneys, alleges negligence on the
part of the city in not having proper
lights and danger signals at the
street crossing and embankment.
The $500 suit is brought by Mr.
Garrett for damages to the car. Tha
$10,000 suit is brought in behalf of
Miss Garrett for injuries suffered in
the turn-over.

Edison To Navy Department
The last appointment madq by the
presideht^'ISCftii^" he departed for
r^utt in precipitating’general Eurc^JiSouth America is regarded here with
jpean hostilities, since both Mussolini
and Hitler have announced their rec
ognition of the rebels under the lead-
ershjp of General Franco as the de
facto government of Spain, and Great
Britain has announced that it will
resist any attempt the part of the
rebels to interfere with British com
merce in Spanish ports.
The rebellion in Spain is definitely
a fascist movement, to set upi a gov
ernment of the same dictatorial type
as those of Italy and Germany, while
the existing government of Spain is
distinctly communistic and has the
backing of Soviet Russia—
It is not difficult to imagine a ftH-
oation developing which would bring
about a general European war. In
, that event, America’s position of neu
trality would be increaaingly difficult
to maintain, especially if England
and France were involved.
The appointment of Joseph E. Da
vies as ambassador to Russia is look
ed upon here as an important move
on the jdiplonMitic chessboard. Mr. Da-
viat is a former chairman of the Fed
eral Tnade 'commission,' a lawyer of
wide experience, a wealthy man hi
bis own right who lately married (me
of the wealthiest women in America.
'It is the axpaetation that he will fin^
it posdQila to . make sound trade

Mr. Edifton has inherited a consid-
erable share of his father’s genius
and has developed on his own account
a high degree of busing ability. The
gossips here have it that he is slated
to succeed Secretary Swanson, who is
expected to retire from the cabinet
