In the fall of 1914, when the Euro-| pean war placed an embargo on cotton exports, a leading Southern Senator spent an hour trying to convince the editor of the Manufacturers Record that the South would be absolutely bankrupt if the government did not buy a large portion of the cotton crop which was then being picked. He wgs.dQapeirately in earnest. He filled the daily papers with reports that the .South would be bankrupted by reason of its inability to sell cotton. Many others were misled by his views and for a while a wave of pessimism -swept over the South, and politicians and unwise business leaders started the cry of "Buy a Bale of Cotton," placarding the country with reports that the South was on the verge of bankruptcy. The South was not bankrupt then ? _1 mi n ji i * nur is sni! now. i no ;M>utn nas neen given a hard blow, but not more so "than other sections. The livestock raisers of the West and of the Pacific Coast and the grain growers of the country havfc been hit just as hard as the cotton growers. The merchants have been getting their knocks, too. Moreover, the South has a diversity of development which is absent in manv othor nnrt.s nf t.lir* pnnnfw Southern soil is just as good for many other products as it is for cotton. Indeed, the South can completely abandon the growing of cotton and be the richer therefor. If cotton had never been grown by the South, this section would today be the livestock and diversified farming center of America, , with a wealth unsurpassing that of the richest section of the West. Cotton furnished less than onethird of the farm-product values of the South, and the value of the manufactured products of the South far exceed the value of its agricultural output. The South is mining a very large per cent of the total coal output of the country. With the exception of California, the South is the center of the great oil-producing activities of the United States, and this industry is rapidly expanding and ever requiring an increasing supply of engines and boilers and piping and other things needed in this industry. The abundant supply of natural gas is a great power for the development of industries in the South. This in connection with the enormous re fining: operations which are being expanded on the Gulf Coast, will make the oil refining business one of the greatest activities of the country, and indeed, will make the South the center of the gas and oil-refining industries of the world. The Standard Oil Co. is spending millions of dollars for the extension of its plant at Baltimore, and is building a million and a half dollar office Atructiure in this city merely to house its own employes. At Charleston and Brunswick and on the Gulf Coast there are enormous refining operations under way and others projected. The South is producing 99 per cent of the nation's sulphur supply, and resources of the South in sulphur are far and away beyond anything which had previously been supposed* A few years ago it was thought that Louisiana had the chief source of sulphur in the country. But later on came the great development at Freeport, Tex., and it was thought that that was the last word in sulphur development. But then came the great development of the Gulf Sulphur Co., and the more the sulphur situation is i studied the more limitless, seems to bcv the supply, and sulphur is the foundation for a vast economic development which will influence every line of manufacturing. Paper manufacturing is to become one of the leading interests of the South. A number of big mills are under way and others projected involving the expenditure of some millions of dollars for the manufacture of pulp and paper from the hardwoods of the Carolinas and the pines of the DR.

G. Anderson presiding. The meeting was opened with a prayer by Rev. Mr. Hurst. The first number on the program was an instrumental solo by little Miss Irone Elliott. A paper on "The Importance of English in the High School for a Well Grounded Education" was read bv M iss Helen Gray, after which a talk I entitled "A Better English Course in the High School," was given by Rev. Mr. Atkinson, during the course of | which he brought out some very interesting state history. This was followed by an instrumental solo by Miss Sarah Gordon. The last number on the program was a paper read by Mr. Alexander on "What Parents May Do to Make Our School a Better One." This paper hit home so well that there was some discussion as to how best get it to every parent of the school, after which a motion was carried to have the president appoint a committee of three to have the paper published in the local newspapers and a copy mailed to every parent. With the call for "any further business" from the president, Mrs. W. A. Freeman offered as a suggestion for consideration from the association a plan for leveling the school grounds and building a brick wall around them, stating that a rough estimate by Mr. H. P. Little showed that this could be done for approximately $2,500.00. Mrs. M. J. Bullock mentioned the opening of a night school for adult illiterates at the Methodist Hut, stating this to 'be the first school of a series for this county.

Would Pay Forty Cents. Washington, D. C.?Central Europe would buy the entire Southern cotton | crop at forty cents a pound today if proper credit conditions could be arranged, E. S. Butler, president of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, declared before the House agricultural committee. Opposing the bills before the committee which would eliminate all speculation in cotton futures on exchanges, Mr. Butler said farmers six months ago could have sold their entire crop of cotton ahead of thirty-five cents a pound. Elimination of all speculation in future trading would be "disastrous" to cotton producers and to the trade generally, since it would force exchanges to close, Mr. Butler asserted. Regulatory legislation enacted in the United States could not affect the future cotton markets in Liverpool, England, he added, as it would leave the foreign spinners in control of the market and they would be able to dictate the price of cotton. Recognized Forty Years. America and Europe for forty years have reconized the future trad ing as the best insurance yet devised for the cotton trade, Mr. Butler said. Ho also advocated retention of "hedging" facilities on the ground that it enables the farmers to find a market for their commodity at any time during the year. The legitimate speculator is the only "buffer" between the farmer and the consumer whose interests are diametrically opposed, he continued. The United States cotton futures act has been satisfactory to the trade, Mr. Butler asserted, adding that it benefitted the spinners, if anyone. Ho did not think it helped the producers, he said, in reply to questions from Representative Caroway, Democrat., Arkansas. Decline of cotton prices were due to 1 impoverished conditions abroad and unsettled financial conditions and not to the future market, Mr. Butler asserted. He said the present futures market tended to lift up the price of cotton. 1 o No Worms in a Healthy Child All children troubled with Worms have nn unhealthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a rule, there is more or I ess stomach disturbance. , GROVE S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC given regularly for two or three weeks will enrich the blood.

' greeceIsbegging i u. s. for new credit| i Finance Minister's Delay Menaces Financial Stabilitv if Nation Accepts Agreement (New York World.) Athens, Greece.?Finance Minister Nicho'as Calogeropoulos, in explaining recently to The World correspondent the financial plight of Greece, said his government hopes that the United States and Great Britain will renew the credits which they suspended when notified that King Constantine had resumed the throne. "Constantino at no time ceased to be our legitimate King," the Minister said. "He was forced to quit the country, but did not abdicate. Upon his return he merely resumed his active reign following an enforced absence. We have received the impression that the American and Entente governments suspended credits while awaiting official notice from us of the return of the 1<ing. Now they have such formal notice, and we trust that Washington and London will put an end to the financial impasse which seems to have -been caused by misapprehension as to the status of the King." Urgent Inquiry to U. S. Minister Calogeropoulos said that more than one week ago 'his government had sent an urgent inquiry to Washington, asking the intentiens of the American givernment in respect to the $33,000,000 held by the Guaranty Trust Company, as the balance of the $50,000,000 credit granted by the United States to Greece in 1913. No reply has come from Washington. The Minister says the delay menaces the financial stability of Greece. When the credit was opened, the dollar stood for about five draehams. Nearly three times as many % * aracncms must now be paid for every dollar. No one can foresee when the declining rate for the dracham will cease. A bread famine threatens the civilian population and the armies in Thrace and Smyrna. It can be averted only if Greece can draw on American credit to pay for the American and Canadian wheat already ordered. "With my colleagues," the Minister continued, "I am willing to abide by the agreement signed by the former Greek Cabinet covering the New York credit of $33,000,000 and the credit of $20,000,000 remaining of the $50,000,000 opened at the same time with the British government. Asked how deep the people of Greece were willing to go in their own pockets for the required cash, the Minister said he is preparing a programme of financial reforms, as foreshadowed in the King's' speech from the throne. Radical reduction in ordinary expenditures will be the first saving to be effected. People Heavily Taxed. "I fear outsiders overestimate the taxable wealth of our people," he said. "We shall levy on all possible sources, taxing the masses as well ??e 1 - 1 - no fitu jiiuiibcoia. vm pt'upit, nowover, are already heavily taxed. Every additional tax will be fought and collections delayed. "We Estimate that the proposed war profits tax will not yield more than 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 drachmas (the drachma is nominally worth 19 cents), which seems like a drop in the ocean as compared with the monthly cost of 100,000,000 drachmas for the prosecution of the war in Asia Minor and Thrace." o SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.

LLUTU FORD COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN Bill Exempting Horry County Introduced by Senator Smith. According to news from Columbia last week the committees of the House of Representatives were in process of appointment but only the chairmen of the committees were being read out. G. Lloyd Ford, of the Horry delegation was appointed as chairman of the Committee on Legislative Library. In both the House and the Senate many resolutions were introduced calling for reduction of taxes. One oi the resolutions introduced and which will be considered as soon as possible is for the extension of time limit for payment of taxes without penalty tc April 1st. This was referred to the Financial Committee of the Senate. It is also noted that in the State Senate Jeremiah Smith introduced a bill for the purpose of exempting Horry County from the operation of the stock law. So far as the Herald has been able to find out, no action i- * nas oeen taken except, of course, to refer it to the proper committee. The fight will come up later, and if it should be passed by the Senate, it will be sent to the House of representatives, where it will have to pass to become a law. o NOTICE.
