this report the bureau of census departed
from its previous method reporting
the cotton crop by not. including
the quantity of linters in the
total production. Director William
J. Harris announced this was done
f because with the installation of modern
machinery closer dolinting of seed
had largely increased the quantity of
linters and at the same time lowered
the average quality of the libro, so
that now only a small part, if any,
was used as a substitute for lint cotton.

The State department lias been informed
that arms assigned to the
American embassy at .Mexico City had
been held up by order of Cieneral
11m rta. Secretary Hryan, when shown
the news, said: "This is tho first I
knew of it, but T can not make any
further comment." Notwithstanding
this denial, which was repeated at the
White House, tho facts are as follows:
1. Charge d'Affaires O'Shauylinecsy
several weeks ago made a requisition
for arms for the protection o?
the American embassy.
2. There were cable conferences
between O'Shaughnossy, Admiral
Fletcher, tho White House oflieials,
the secretary of the navy and Secre
tary of State Hryan, concerning the
need of such precautions.
2. It w:is riecidnri to roih!
Krag-.Iorgonson rillos and a machine
gun and these wore actually loaded
on a Ward lino steamer for Vera
Cru/.
1. 250 rounds of ammunition for
each gun were also sent at the request
of Mr. O'Shaughnessy, all ofj
which was known to the White llouse
and the the state department and to
the war department.
The war department officials,
amazed at the impudent defiance in 1
lluerta's act, were at first disposed
to believe lluerta had token advantage
of some tariff technicality and
was acting obstructively on that
ground. However, confidentia' ines
sages were received which show the
contrary to he true. It is now believed
that lluerta's purpose is to make
the I nited States government recognize
him hv a direct request to him
as the comiuander-iu-chief of the
army which might he construed as official
recognition.
It is known to officials that there
have recently been parades of the
Japanese in Mexico City. No objection
lias been made by CJonoral lluerta

Congressman A. F. Lever delivered
an address 011 "The High Coot of
11'norance" to the South Carolina
Teachers' association at Spartanburg
in the Converse collcgo auditorium
Saturday nipht. * lie spoke of the ios
caused by ignorance in farming methods,
in the conversation of the publh
health and in other wavs. Tlie mi
(llence of eighteen hundred gave liim
an ovation.
Congressman Hover's address w:u
frequently Interspersed an 1111 huinoi
which was appreciated by the audi
once. The speaker dealt at length on
the alarming depreciation of the ex
ports of some of the most importan.
crops of this country, and declared
that 50 years heme there will bo a
dearth of foodstuffs in this country
unless something is done to educate
the farmers of this generation. 11 is
frequent reference to what the Wilv.on
administration is planning to do
for the farmer elicited much applause.
The speaker told of the great pe
euniary losses being sustained by tin
\meiican farmer as a result o'f his
ignorance of the best and latest moth
ods of farming. The present day
farmer would do well to pattern after
the members of the hoys' corn clubs,
said Mr. Lever. These boys are showing
what may he done with a litth
land scientifically cultivated. Hog
cholera, ihe Texas tick, and othei
plagues are doing great injury to tin
farmers of this country, and in the
life of the people typhoid fever and
tuberculosis have become great perils
mainly because of Ignorance of th<
bed methods of treating and prevent
ing these dlreases. The farmers and
their wives* need to be taught. sanl
tary methods in their home life, declared
the speaker, and not until this
j :s done will the groat loss of life from
these diseases be cheeked.
The small salaries now paid tin
various olhcials who are supposed ti
educate the farmer and his children
were deprecated by Congressman
I.over, who declared that so long as
lie state of South Carolina continued
to allow such little pay to the count:
superintendents of education it could
not expect to secure the logical men
for those ofllces. No man, possessing
a large amount of brains, run afford
or will consent to work 1'J months for
$000, the average salary paid in this
ofhec. One of the chief reasons why
teachers so quickly deiort the profession
for more lucrative ones is be
cause they receive such inadequate
remuneration for services rendered
the public.
While in Spartanburg Congress- '
man Lever defined his attitude towards
the repeal of the free tolls bill
as follows:
"1 regard President Wilson's position
in reference to the canal tolls to
he absolutely sound, statesmanlike
and patriotic from a domestic as well
as international point of view. Wo ,
gave certain international obligations
which are solid and binding on all
patties, and which in their moral
force are second only to the obligation
of the Constitution itself.
''From a domestic point of view, i
(lie Democratic party throughout its
long career lias always opposed subsidies,
and to relieve the coastwise
trade of the payment of canal tolls is
as much a subsidy, as if you should
take that much money out of the
federal treasury and hand it over to
the shipping interests.
' It is estimated that it will cost
$2,000,000 a year to put through the
canal the coastwise trade of the conn- (
try. Some one must pay this $2,000,000,
either the coastwise trade, j
who are to he the beneficiaries of the
canal, or the taxpayers of the country
through the federal treasury.
"I prefer to vote with the president .
in the interest of the taxpayers of the
country, rather than to stand with ,
those who would hand over $2,000,000
annually to the shipping trust. 1
shall, therefore, vote with the presi
dent, regardless of the alleged p] itform
declaration on the subject,
which T do not rovard as having been
considered by tho convention in the
light of existing treaties and condi- 1
tions. '
"A majority of the Democrats vot- 1
od aflainst the exoipption act when it 1
was beforedhe congress, so it can not
be claimed the act of my Democratic
associates. Tt is my opinion that tho
president's position will be over- :
wholmingly sustained by the Demo- <
cratic members of congress." i

Shows That New Tariff Has Not
Allcinl I'ulauce of Trati**.
William C. KedfVeld, secretary of
omiiicrcc, addressing the State Husinrss
Mon's association of Connecticut
at Hartford, Conn., last week,
mkod what had become of the threatened
flooding of American niarkt ts
with foreign made goods, attracted
by the new tarirt schedules.
"All men are witnesses that the
Hooding of our markets with the
products of the so-called pauperlabor
of Kuropo lias not occurred,"
he :?aid. "Nay, the total imports for
the entire period since the tariff came
Into effect actually are less than for
a like period a year ago.
What, has become of the millions
upon millions in value of goods wait
lug to be unloaded upon us, whereby
lie power to purchase more cheaply
was to bring disaster and distress
upon American industries? Instead,
as editors and speakers look over the
cold, hard facts of our foreign trade,
their remarks about the Hooding of
our markets must come to their
thought as those things on? would
rather not have said.
"Meanwhile the current lias run
strongly the other way and particularly
is this true in the shape of fully

n this continues to grow despite tlm
normal fluctuations from month to
month in the total export business,
i'hoso who felt that the flooding had
oine when December imports rose to
'lie largest ever known, namely
* 1 S 1 00,000, must have experienced
i rude shock when imports for January
fell of more than $30,000,000,
almost $0,000,000 less than the
nonth of January, 1013.
"We expert a growth In the 1moorts
of manufacturers under the
new tariff, that competitive condlions
may exist to the general good
Wo expect that as great or a larger
growth will toko place in the ex
lortations of manufactures; that busness
may run more steadily In our
\inerican shops and that the gold of
lie nations may bo brought in inn-easing
quantities Into the pockets
>f our people."
Of foreign commerce. Mr. Red field
aid, he did not share the belief that
'big business" could claim the lion's
hare of credit for creating and holding
trade in other countries. The
secretary was optimistic concerning
general conditions.
"Looking about over all America
>no sees no serious factors tending
to trouble," lie said. "The fall of
prices lias already begun. It takes
time t (1 filter Ihrmisrh tho varlnnc
phases of distribution but the process
is well begun." The situation among
the unemployed Mr. Redfleld regarded
as improving. "Affairs in that respect,"
lie said, "are better than they
were a month ago and very much better
than they were (10 days back."

TltADK COMMISSION 1111.D IS I'lUli'\ki:i>
by its committkh
piioviofu wiiii ptiwrR
Text of Proposed Legislation Bears
Stamp of Approval of President
and Attorney-General?Nxpectod to
Receive Support of Kcmoorats and
Republicans.
The interstate trade commission
bill bearing the approval of President
Wilson and Attorney General
MeReynolds was in a do public Sunday
following many conferences anions
the members of the House interstate
commerce committee. Democrats ex
pert this measure to command substantial
Republican support and an
effort probably will be made soon to
bring about concerted action between
the Senate and House tin this phase
of the administration program of
commerce regulation and anti-trust
legislation.
The now bill was unanimously
agreed on by its framers, a sub-committee
of Democrats and Kcpuhli
cans, headed by Representative Covington
of Maryland, and It Is approv
'd by virtually the full committee
The bill would transfer all the powers
and duties of the bureau of corporations
to the proposed corn mission of
three members, presidential appointees
subject to confirmation,
whose salaries would be $10,000 annually
each. Only two of the commissioners
could be from the sar *
political party.
The original Clayton bill, from
which the Covington bill differs substantially,
had provide1 for five commissioners
and that the present commissioner
of corporations should be
automatically chairman of the nr w
commission. The new bill makes no
mention of the com mission*.i of corporations.
It makes the fixed tenure
of the commissioners six years and
the commission would choose its own
chairman.
The Covington bill defines as a corporation
all bodies incorporated an
dor the law and joint stock associations
and all other, associations having
shares of capital or other capital
stock or organized to carry on business
for profit. Section 9 of the bill
requiring annual reports to the com
mission, would provide that:
"Every corporation engaged in
commerce, excepting corporations
subject to the acts to regulate commerce,
which, by itself or with one
or more other corporations owned
operated, controlled or organized in
conjunction with it so as to constitute
substantially a business, until
It has a capital of $r>,000,000 or more
or has a loss capital and belongs to
any class of corporations, which the
commission may make, shall furnish
to the commission annually such Information,
statements and records
of Its organization, bondholders and
stockholders and financial condition
and also such Information, statements
| and records of its relations to other
corporations, and Its business and
practices while engaged in commerce,
as the commission shall require.
This section penalizes violations df
$100 a day. The Clayton bill made
no such classification or corporations
hut penalized violations of $1,000 a
day.
Another section is designed to remedy
the present lack of any bureau
e'Miipped with a trained force to assist
the department of justice and the
courts in solving problems connected
with the dissolution of corporations
adjudged to be operating against the
law. It authorizes the courts to refer
to tho commission any matter concorning
relief to he granted or any
proposed decree for the purpose of
such an investigation as will give the
courts complete economic information.
This would not empower tho
commission to gather evidence to he
fferod in any case to ho considered by
tho court in entering judgment. The
commission also is authorized to determine
whether any degree of dissolution
entered against a corporation
is being carried out.
