^? STATEWIDE CONGRESS ! ENDS IN CHARLESTON An Interesting Final Session on Last Friday Morning Wilson's Tine address Big Settlement Principles Talk ed Over.?One of Series of i Four Meetings in Contemplation. Charleston Evening Post. The conference which met last Thursday in Charleston in behalf of the State-wide movement for settlement and development, came to a close on Friday morning last. In relation to the final session the Char leston Evening Post says The session of the State-wide conference on development and settlement which opened at the Chambers of Commerce this morning at 10 o'clock adjourning this afternoon, brought the conference to a close. An automobile trip through the city and navy yard and over several large truck farms and land developments followed the final meeting. The feature mass meeting last J night at the German Artillery Hall was addressed by William B. Wilson, Secretary of Labor; Dr. Clarence J. Owens, managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress and T. G. McLeod, ex-lieutcnant governor of this State. ExGov. D. C. Heyward presided at the meeting and introduced the various speakers. Mr. Wilson, in opening his address, referred to the fact that he was an immigrant himself, having come to this country from "Bonrne Scotland" when he was an eight year old boy. I have a great love, as all of us have," said the Secretary of Labor, "for the rugged lands of my birth but a greater love for the land of my adoption, America." Secretary Wilson. Proceeding with his address, Mr. Wilson told of the organization of the Department of Labor of which he is head. Why four bureaus formerly independant branches of the government, bureau of labor statistics, children's bureau, neutralization department and bureau of immigration, which were combined and became the nucleus of the Department of Labor, properly belong under the last named department, was made clear by the speaker. The work of each was defined. | Immigrants, as amajority, come to this country with very few possessions ana it is necessary to find employment for them which will bring quick, even if meager, returns, continued the speaker. They naturally go to community centers to begin life and become the competitors of our own citizenship and other aliens, and that is why the immigration service properly belongs under the department of labor Mr. Wilson told his hearers why it had been though advisable to create' a sub-division in the department known as the information bureau, and he explained clearly the workings of this division and th objects of which it has in view. The division gives information concerning where work may be found of farms bought not only to aliens but to any who may desire it. , Zone System. The zone system of bringing the "jobless man to the meanless job and the landless man to the manless land" which is being inaugurated by the labor department was described by Mr. Wilson, who stated that Charleston' was the center of one of thelS zones1 which cover the United States, in the zone system the postoffices are utilized to convey the news when men are 1 wanted to work, where they are want ed, and what wages they might ex- 1 pect. When positions in any one locality have been filled, postoffices all ( over the country will display warning to that effect. The same method j might be used to sell or buy a farm of any size anywhere in the country, i Secretary Wilson explained what he considered the essential preparations for the coming of immigrants. He stated that for many years this coun- j try has imposed a head tax of $4 on all aliens coming into this country. The tax was never intended to be a source of revenue,, but from $10,000000 in excess of the cause of operating the immigrant bureau has accumulated in the treasury. He pro ed that, if possible, some way of using this fund to relievo the congestion of population in the cities settling people on farms, he devised, a sufficient rate of interest being charged to correct any administration mistakes that might be made. The fund would, in this manner, would be kept constantly rotating and would relieve to a great extent the congestion of popula tion in our cities. In closing the speaker stated that every official of the Department of Labor, who had any say so stood mujy to cooperate with the men of the South in bringing about more desirable rural conditions. Other Speakers. Hon. T. G. McLeod, the next speaker introduced, spoke on the subject of "Marketing," and dwelt upon the necessity of operating a "taste" for home raised products. He advocated the "hog and hominy" doctrine and di versification of crops for the coming season. Dr. Clarence J. Owens, a former South Carolinian, now managing director of the Southern Commercial Congress, opened by explaining the purpose of the organization with which he is connected, the purpose of telling all the world about the Godgiven opportunities of the Southland. "The Southland of which I speak," said Mr. Owens, "has a total of 600,000,000 acres of fertile land. Only 300, 000,000 acres of this nro undpr rulti vation. In this country of ours there are 27,000 miles of waterways, and 24,000 miles of these empty into the South Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico." "The timber products of the South are doubled that of the combined area of the rest cf the country," stated the speaker. "The climate and rainfall could not be bettered." He explained how the Southern Commercial Congress proposed to bring- a world-wide realization of these facts about. $100 REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn inat there is at least one dreaded disease that science has ..ia~ -ii ^ > nun; iv luru ill illl ILJS Stages, that is Catarrh.

Seaforth Highlanders, one of Scot- J land's crack regiments now at the front, have one aof the most peculiar New Year eve customs of the whole British army, says the Chicago Herald. The ceremony is picturesque and imposing. On the night of Hogmanay at about j 10:80 o'clock the regiment assembles i in the barrack square. A few minutes i hlt.er thn nlHpct enlflioi* in tl-i? Kofolli- ! on dressed as a druid, makes his ap- , pearance to the accompaniment of a i flourish trumpets, Ascending the im- j provised throne, he calls on the veter- j an after veteran, arrayed in the uni- j forms worn by the regiment at dif- i ferent periods, marches past and salu j tes the druid. The druid then toasts "The Seaforth Highlanders." After a display of highland dancing j the alarm is sounded, and the second oldest soldier arrayed as Father Time i approaches. The veterans then retreat | leaving their honors to be guarded by their successors, and Father Time expels the druid. At the last stroke of midnight a loud knock is heard at the gate and I out rings the sentry's challenge: Halt! Who goes there ? "The New Year," comes back the | answer. "Advance, New Year, an give the * countersign!" is the next command. "Cabar fedth gu brath!" (the clan cry of the Mackenzies?i. e., the Sea- \ forths) "Pass, New Year; all's well!" j The gate is then opened and the, ] youngest boy of the batallion enters, < dressed as the high chief of ancient Ross, to represent the New Year. The ' colonel shakes hands with the boy, ! while the band strikes up. "A guild ! New Year to Ane and A." i After the colonel's greeting to the batallion the national anthem is played and the men fall out. The Liver Regulates the Body.

It became known last week that the text of the two notes sent last week to Great Britain and Germany expressed much more emphatically than generally was believed, the displeasure of the United States of use of neutral flags by British merchantmen and its solicitude over the implication that neutral vessels were liable to destruction by German submarines in the waters around Great Britain and Ireland.

Representations in the note to Great Britain are not based on the Lusitania incident, but on the statement of the British foreign office justifying use of neutral flags by its vessels. The Unit 2d States stated unequivocally, it is understood, that a continuance of that practice would be highly dangerous to neutral vessels and would be view- \ 2(1 with the deepest anxiety here. The text of the two notes was exoected to be published by the State Department. Among diplomatists the "act that the United States had taken i pronounced stand created a profound impression.

WINTER GARDENS ADVOCATED BY WINTHROP COLLEGE Rook Hill, Feb. 15th. The year around garden has possibilities in South Carolina which have not been realized. The following is a table which shows what has been done by Mrs. J. W. Quattlebaum in her home garden near Anderson, S. C. Mrs. Quattlebaum's garden not only furnished variety for her table but yielded a profit in money as well. Mrs. Quattlebaum is exceedingly prac tical. She has lovely lettuce growing now, each head protected by a sprig of pine 10 inches high placed on the windwardside of the lettuce so that it bends over and protects it from the cold. She also has an improvised cold frame made by placing four boards around the vegetables to be protected say 6' x 5' in length and standing four incnes above the level bed which they protect, and covered with branches of pine four or five feet long. These are held above the vegetables growing in the bed by the boards and protect the vegetables planted as effectually as a canvas cover would do. Mrs. Quattlcbaum's list is supplemented by items from the Southern Cultivator. Some vegetables not ordinarily planted in South Carolina are included in this list. They would diet and add to the money value of the garden as well. This garden has arrived, for it has been profitable for several years and the following list is being tried out in several places. Mr. 13. B. Gossett, President of the Riverside and Toxaway Mills, Anderson, S. C., has a community win ter garden as a object lesson for the people in his village. This is its second year and some of the mill peo pic have been inspired to make a beginning in the matter of winter gardening this winter.

The National Zeitung last Sunday published an interview with James W Gerard American ambassador to Germany, concerning the American note relative to neutral shipping in the sea war zone recently created by Germany The ambassador was reported as saying the note is couched in such conciliatory and friendly terms that he did not doubt it would have favorable result. He expressed regret at the sharp tone of some of the American and German newspapers, but said he was sure this would not disturb friend ly relations of these two countries. TESTED AND PROVEN.

Petrograd, Feb. 12?Further explanation of the retirement of the Russian forces in East Prussia made in an official statement which says: "It is believed we are upon the eve of a great operation which must solve definitely the struggle in East Prussia." Warning is given that because of tho necessity for military secrecy little information may be expected regarding the oprations which arc about to begin. The Russians are seeking the shelter of their own fortresses, the statement asserts, before attempting to take "more concentrated" locations from which to oppose the heavily reinforced Germans. The Russians claim the garrison of the fortress of Przemysl is exhausting itself in fruitless sorties. A final repulse of the Germans who temporarily occupied the heights of Koziouvka after 22 assaults is reported. The com munication follows: "It has been established that recent ly there have appeared in East Prussia four new corps of the German army consisting partly of troops transported from the west front, partly of new recruits and partly of reserve for ces. "This radically changed conditions and involved the necessity of our troops retiring in order to facilitate recomposition, to locations more concentrated. The object, it was believed, could be better attained upon our own territory in the shelter of our fortresses. "It is believed we are upon the eve of a great operation which must solve definitely the struggle in East Prussia. "This circumstances rendered it nee essary that few inquires be made concerning future combats, taking account of the strict necessity for the observance of military secrecy. "After 22 frustrated attempts the Germans succeeded in occupying in great force, after a desperate struggle, the heights of Koiziouvka, but were dislodged after a violent bayonet attack, leaving 400 dead. "The garrison of the fortress of Przemysl is exhausting itself in fruitless attacks, maintaining an irregular fire against our blockading troops. "On the Pluck sea the Russians have sunk the Turkish transport Broussa, laden with 50,000 pounds of provisions."
