GOV. COOPER OPTIMISTIC.

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.

REJECTED BY AMERICA!
New York.?President Wilson toM
ino American people in an address
here on the eve of his return 10
Paris that he was going back to the
peace conference to battle with renewed
vigor for creation of a league
of nations.
"The first thing J am going to toil
the people on the other wide of the
water is that an overwhelming majority
of the Amor lean people is in
favor of the leap,no of nations," said
the president.
Speaking after former President
Taft had expounded the main feajtures
of the proposed covenant of nations,
Mr. Wilson told the vast audience,
which filled the Metropolitan
Opera House, his opinions of oponer.ts
of the league plan in America.
"No party has the right to appro,

continued Mr. Wilson. "Those gen- I

does.
"I do not know where they have

been separated from the general cur
rents of the thought of mankind.
And I want to utter this solemn

"America's soldiers," he said,
"vent over seas feeling they were

had enunciated when the United

"There is another thing," the
president said, "which critics of the
