The biggest "favorable trade oalance" that we ever had prior to the war, says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, was $660,000,000 in the fiscal year 1908, $665,000,000 in 1901, and $653,000,000 in 1913. In the fiscal year 1914, all of which elapsed before the beginning of the war, the excess of exports over imports was $470,653,000, and in the fiscal year which ends with this month will be approximately $1,140,000,000, or 140 per cent over that of the year preceding the war, and nearly 100 per cent above that of any pre-war year. The billion dollar line in the "favorable trade balance" was first crossed in the fiscal year 1915, and the exce: s of exports over imports rapidly mounted during the war to a little over $2,000,000,000 in 1916, 3^ billions in 1918, and a little over four billion dollars in 1919, dropping to $2,870,000,000 in 1920 and $2,862,000,000 in 1921, while for the current yeai will, as above indicated, approximate $1,140,000,000, all of these figures relating to the fiscal years. "Favorable trade balances," adds the Trad? Record, have been the rule in our foreign trade since the development of our great Mississippi Valley as a producer of the foodstuffs and manufacturing materials which the world requires, and of our factories which supply tbe big increase in our exports of manufactures. In the long period from 1790 to the beginning of 1874 imports almost continuously exceeded imports. In 70 of the 84 years from 1790 to 1874, imports exceeded exports; in 44 of the 48 years since 1874, exports exceeded imports. The excess of imports over exports from 1790 to the beginning of 1874 was, in round terms, $2,300,000,000, while the excess of exports over imports from the beginning of 1871 to date exceeds f3i,ooo,o(xr,ooo. This change from a practically coniuous excess of imports to a practically continuous excess of exports, which dates from 1874, is at least simultaneous with the development o. our railroad system which brought the great producing interior in close touch with the water's edge, the railways of the country having aggregated in 1872 but 66,000 miles, as against 226,000 at the present time. The imports into the United States from the beginning ?>f 1790 to the en<i of the fiscal year 1922 nggregat^ $74, 066,000,000 and the exports $103, 734,000,000; the excess of exports foi the entire period aggregates $29,668, 000,000.

Japan lacks natural r? sources and is already overpopulatec so the Mainichi says emigration i the only solution and suggest Sout America as the place to send the ovei flow. "Both the United States and Car ada keep their doors shut against th Japanese people, and it would be iir possible for the Japanese to emigrat into those countries," says the Main: chi. "It im true that there are Mai churia and Siberia left for Japanes emigrants, but these are rather place for capitalists to exploit than for If borers. Under present circumstar ces, it seems that South America oi fers the most promising future f< the Japanese people, both political! and economically. It may therefoi be said that the key to the solutic of the present difficulty of populatio question in Japan lies in the emigri tion of the Japanese people to thi country. ~ "As a matter of fact, emigration 1 South America has long been goin on, as is seen in the presence of may Japanese in Brazil and in neighbo: iiik countries, but it has hitherto bee carried on in a very half hearte manner. The majority of the Ja] anese emigrants to South Americ were poor laborers without capiti and without any capable leaders, ar the result was that they did not sin ceed, and led miserable lives ther It will, therefore be seen that t> present method of emigration \ South America should be radical! improved so as to make it a success Several parties of Japanese, goir to the centennial exhibition at R Janeiro are to look into the possibilii of Japanese settling in Brazil but tl 1 government denies the reports th-i I his movement is to receive offici support.

General Wang served under the Manchus, was premier in the early stages of the Republic and once attempted to reorganize the army. In a country which has respect for old ago it was thought proper that he should assume responsibility for forming a new cabinet. But General Wang pleaded his 65 years as a reason for not serving and added that his ed. ucation and training were of the old school and therefore unsuited for the I E. B SMITH'S SPEE' B (Political Ad Jonesville, S. C., June 26, 1922. e Mr. E. B. Smith, attorney at law at Union, and candidate for the State _ Senate from Union County, spoke at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium this even,r ing to a large audience, which showed by Its cheering to be in sympathy with k. CJm j?pe?ker. t Mr. Smith said that this was the first of a series of acquaintance n speeches that he is making over the county, that he hopes in this way to ' meet Jhe people, and take care of sev(r eral minor points in order that the people may know who ho Is, why he is j what he is, where he came from, etc.. / and in order that he may devote his ^ entire time during the campaign to the main issues. He said that he was reared on the farm until he was 16 years of age, at which time his father gave him permission fn Innira Vinmn ?a ?<>t ...? *??> cation. His grandfather having been ;e reduced to poverty by the war beiween the states, losing 3,300 acres l" of the most beautiful land of Marion e county, and $50,000 worth of slaves, 8 and his father being practically bankl" rupt by planting a large farm of cotton the year that the European war broke out, when cotton dropped to six 11 cents, he refused help from his father, y insisting that he give all of his aid e to the smaller children. He left home 'n with one suit of clothes, as it was 'n necessary to have only a suit for Sunday on the farm and overalls for the week, got a job as janitor of a church at Mullins, S. C.f batched part of the ? time, milked cows, attended to stock ? built fires, etc., for his board, and in 11 thi^ way he worked his way through r" high school. ,n At the conclusion of his high school course he borrowed 450 fifl ?n/l went to the University of South Carolina, 'a where he worked his way through college, jeceiving his A B. and L. L. B. degrees within five years, when it c" usually takes six years to get those e- degrees. In addition to getting both ie of his degrees within five years he k? won ten gold medals for oratory and 'y debating while in college (and two " while in high school), and was captain 'K of the football and track teams; was io president of practically every organity zation in the University, including the Y. M. C. A.; worked his way through at and had over $100.00l in his pocket al when he received his last degree. He seated that he had been 21 eve.* since he was 16, is older than William Pitt was when he became prime minly ister of England; is older than Alexander the Great was when he was in crowned king of his vast empire and e- is as old as Napoleon was when he u_ began his eventful career, and is court. stitutionally eligible for election to a e- seat in the State Senate from Union nt County. He was Clerk of the Judiciin ary Committee of the House of Rep?r resentatives for two years, and is. ie therefore, on to the inside workings of the General * <apmKlu f rnm nuorir I ?J "* / ly standpoint, and because of his posiit tion he not only knows as much about r(j the workings of the General Assem/e hly as any Senator, hut he also know# the reoords of individual Senators. He said that he was thoroughly familiar with the efforts of the Houso a;' to revolutionize our present iniqui now China. He declared the country demanded young and vigorous brains to guide it and suggested that one of the Chinese delegates to the Washing, ton conference, with a knowledge o? world affairs, should be selected.

He stated, however, that he was not woino- tn iliannoo ? _ - - o o vv/ V*11^V UUO vauoe miportant matters, for they were going to be the main issues of the campaign, and he did not think it-f&icto his opponents to take them up in their absence, and, therefore, he was going to confine himself to dlacussing his qualification for the office. A few excerpts from his speech are as follows: "My fellow citizens, there are a few peanut, mediocre, privincial, narrow minded, selfish politicians who are saying that I have not been in Union County long enough to be elected to the Senate, while those politicians know that they are violating the sacred constitution of our state, and are seeking to withhold from me the right and privileges which the constitution guarantees me, regardless as to whether or not I am best suited to servo you, and are asking you to be participants in the violation of our constitution, while if you were to violate it in some minor particular, where their selfish interest were net served, they would insist that you be placed on tho chain cnni?. Hdwovof I have such confidence in the intelligence and spirit of fair play of the citizenry of Union County that I believe you will consider such arguments as the adding of Insult to injury, and you will not fall for any such soft stuff. Certainly no statesman will stoop to such tactics. Why, My Fellow Citizens, it is inconsistent, it is ridiculous, it is even superfluous to contend that it is all right to intrust me with the defense of your lives before out courts, with your property interests, and with the moulding of the lives and characters of your diildren ir the high school in our county seat, and then to say that I should not be allowed to help make the laws which determine the environment which make it easy or hard to properly mould those lives. "I come not to you in an apologet ical manner, asking you to give me a chance, asking you to make an experiment of me, but I tell you, that if you elect mo as your Senator, I will make you one of the best Senators that you ever had. I will apply myself in the assiduous way that I have in the past. I will burn the midnight oil to make a record that will cause you to be proud that you supported me, and to solve the great problem* that confront our state, and to protect the interest of Union County. "Not only have I sought to train my mind in order that I might serve you but I have kept clean from all evil habits to such a degree that I challenge the fairest lady of our county to Rhow a more chaste life than I have lived from my youth up.
