CHARLESTON AS BIO NAVAL BASE I Commission Inspecting Facilities of That Port For Gov. ?ernmcnt Operations. Vt h ' 1 Char *c&icn.<?Headed by Rear Admiral j. .u. Hum, t?e navy yard ccrun*.&*.ion, appu ted by the prcsicl-.i.t under authoihy of an act of the lttot congress to inspect , all navy yards, arrived in Charleston yesterday morning, going tit dnce to the Charlseton hotel, their headquarters during their visit. The rscult of the inspection will determine whether or not Charleston is to be selected as the point for r, naval station svuth of Cape. lK.ttevas. Following a trip around the har-1 bor the naval exports and a commit I tec from Charleston proceeded to* the navy yard aboard the torpedo boat Tinsloy. A thorough report had been sub mitted to the navy department fn Washington cu conditions at the yard by Capt. B. C. Bryan commandant. The officers composing thecommission already had made them i selves familiar with the contents oi lids report. It will therefore ho : comparatively simple matter t'? make their inspection and verify the report. Admiral Helm, while asserting he could not give out any definite in formation as to the result of the commis ion's inspection and recommendations was glad to he back, in Charleston, even for a short while. Admiral Helm was ccmmanlant of the local yard from 1911 until 1914. o NOTICE. There will be an entertainment and box supper at Mt. Olive Tuesday night, Nov. 28th, 191 (J.

C., Dear Sir: There is a great deal of talk going oti now about Congress putting an embargo on the exportation of wheat from the United States. The situation is serious as I believe by the first of February the United States will have exported all she can spare leaving fifty million bushels to carry over the first of July, and I want to ask* your opinion of what Congress will and can do in this matter. 11 Congress considers putting an embargo on wheat it will reduce die price of flour, if they do not it will eentihue to advance, and we are in j toreeted in buying and selling of 'his j c'C'rvv.vdity is why we as!: your vipiniun. i We will bo glad to have \'( u write 111.-. and thanking you in advar.ee, , Yours very truly, * F. G. MOLLIS & CO., By F. G. H. Florence, S. Nov. 17, 101G hiessis. F. G. Mollis tfc Co., t | Benncttsville, S. C. ^ '( I < i^ntleiven: ,v* * " I am in receipt of your esteemed tavor of the 1 (> h instant, in which you a'L my opinion as to the wisdom i i Congress putting an embargo on the exportation of wheat from the United States. When war broke >ut the cotton planter of the South had i) sacvii ice his product far below the cost oi production. I have begged Cong,ess and this administration to take action tnat would prohibit Europe purchasing our cott vi at tiie price that they wore then being forced to scil, not by prohibiting the exportation of cotton, to Europe, oy giving credit to about the cost of production by the planters. This met with strong opposition every where, and, as yon know, we were unable to secure this relief, ami many good i. en were forc.d into bankruptcy at d ruined financially at that time. When they found it inadvisable to protect the planter at a period of time when products were selling below the cost of production, certainly now it would be a hardship and unfair to iay an embargo, and artificially forte down the price of that which he produces. There has been no effort to prohibit the exportation of the things that the farmer has to buy, and 1 can see no wisdom in prohibiting the exportation of that which he must sell. As you know, the boll weevil is heading towards our country, and if he does what he has done elsewhere our people must grow other crops than cotton. In order to make it possible for them to do this, they should get a fair return for the other crops. J Wheat will be one of the crops to which they will naturally return and especially if the prices are high. I cannot, therefore, in the face of that which they have already suffered, and that which now threatens them, commit myself to a movement that will depreciate in any way the price 01 the products produced by the Amreican farmer. Yours very truly, J. W. RAGSDALE. CONWAY ASTONISHED BY SIMPLE MIXTURE Conway people are stonished at the INSTANT action of simple buckthorn I bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adler-i-ka.
