COOPER OPTIMISTIC. 7 Governor Cooper returned from the conference of Governors and "Mayors feeling very optimistic over the general situation. The employment problem was the chief topic disci us ?eu ul tlio conference and th" Governor says that the reports wore not at all discouraging. If there ;s any unrest in the country it is not due to unemployment or losv wages hut merely to a spirit of Bolshevism, says the Governor. Mr. Cooper does not think that there is any serious trouble ahead in South Carolina or anywhere else in the country as for that matter. There may be some agitation but the safety of the country from uprising of any sort is assured. I HOUSANDS DIE OF STARVATION S I Pll London. ?
