The President-elect first distin
guished In his spaech between “nat
ural” and “unatural'' panics. He
safd In many cases panics had come
naurally because of a mental dis
turbance of people with reference to
leans and money generally.
“Put the machinery Is In erlst-

who dares use the machinery for that

A dispatch from Florence says Wil

that city Wednesday morning on his
way to Winston-Salem from Washing
ton. He la of course a marked man
wherever he travels and he travels as
a Democrat In the regular coaches or
a Pullman where he can write his
editorials for The Commoner or make
up hla speeches to thrill the country
with. He was very anxious to see
the morning papers of this State
when hs got there and to get a break
fast at the famous eating house.
He was spoken to by many ad
mirers, and entered with genuine
pleasure Into the discussions at the
station. He wiruld have made a
speech If the time had been long
enough, and the crowd around him
willing to let him get away. To the
correspondent of The State he aald
that he would not care to express an
oplnfon on the personnel of the cab
inet. He smiled at the stories told
ol bis having s private office in Wash
ington. and other stories that are In
circulation make reading for the yel
low Journals.
He would not comment, either, on
the suggestion of the demand of the
world for him to be at the head of
the department of state In this coun
try on the grounds that It would
mean the peace of the world. He had
nothing to say of the appeal that
seems to be made by the Balkan allies
