' < Reorganization of Party Forces ! in South is Pro- : jectea. < The New York Times of Wednes- J day prints the following from its Washington correspondent: Further loosening of credits to cotton planters rather than an adjustment of the rediscount rates of j( the federal reserve banks is the so- \ lution of the southern cotton situation, in the opinion of Herbert! Hoover, secretary of commerce, according to a statement made by ' former Senator John L. McLaurin or South Carolina. With other Southern cotton men, Mr. McLaurin held a conference with Mr. Hoover, and later Mr. McLaurin announced that the secretary of commerce favored the co-operation of both federal reserve and member banks in extending credits, more thoroughly organized export machinery and a new warehouse receipt which could pass < i it as actual delivery ot cotton anu lk;come the basis of mobile credit. ElatioVi was displayed by Mr. McLaurin after the conference. He stated that lie believed cotton would at once rise in price as a result of Secretary Hoover's attitude. Telegrams epitomizing the conversation were sent by Mr. McLaurin to J. S. Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Association, now in New York. There was some speculation her* as to whether the policy of Secretary Hoover might not indicate the political plans of the Republican party toward the South. It has been said in some quarters that the administration might use the argument that it relieved the financial situation in the South as a plea to potential Republicans in Democratic ranks to join the Republican party. Some significance was attached to the fact that Mr. McLaurin, who participated in the conference, has been chosen bv Reoublican leaders to take chargc of rehabilitating the Republican party in South Carolina, and incidentally to make inroads in Democratic ranks. On Tuesday the Times had the following dispatch from its Washington correspondent: Republican leaders are seeking to reorganize the party forces in South Carolina as another step in the program for rehabilitation of Southern Republicanism. This follows the announcement that reorganization In Georgia would be undertaken. For some time influential leaders, headed by C. Bascom Slemp, the lone Republican Congressman from \ lrginia, have been seeking for a man to undertake the ta.sk in South Carolina. Mr. Slemp has been intrusted by President Harding, it is said, with tfhe work of 4 cleaning up" the Southern situation. The task in South Carolina has] finally been placed in the hands of j H ?g?s Indigestion | Many persons, otherwise K? vigorous and healthy, are bothered occasionally with || Indigestion.

The present plans, it is mderstood, are to place the patronise in South Carolina in the hands of VIr. McLaurin, thus shelving Joseph >V. Tolbert, present state chairman uid member of national commitee. Tolbert has Ions controlled an organization composed of white and colored men, and under his managenent the Republican vote in South Carolina has dec'eased from nearly 1,000 votes in 1!)0?S to 2,200 in 1920. Ex-Senator McLaurin and Congressman Slemp conferred a fewlays ago with President Harding, ostensibly on the subject of lowering the rediscount rate of federal reserve :mtiks in the South so that the cotton situation might be eased. It is unlerstood, however, that the conference was not without its political aspects. The hope of building the Republican party in the South involves defection from Democratic ranks. Some republican leaders think there is some potential Republican material among South Carolina Democrats due to manufacturing inter-j Bsts which the Republicans say need application of Republican principles such as a protective tariff. The Republicans will also seek to capitalize the dissatisfaction in some quarters of the South against the recent Democratic administra-j tion because of its refusal to permit! any wide loosening of credits. It is said that the Republican leaders hope1 to evolve some plan of loosening credits and then seeking support in 11 a J.1. 1 _ r> . J. I ine oouui uecau.se 01 11. Southern Democrats say that j while South Carolina Republicanism continues under the Tolbert regime there is no chance of any Democrats j joining1 the Republican party. But they admit that if the Republican party in that state was "cleaned up" and made an "all white" organization there might be a chance. Tolbert has the reputation of never j having worn a cravat, and a gold collar button is a prominent feature of: his apparel. He is a veteran member i of the national committee, and is not without friends. He has been in Washington for some time, endeavoring to strengthen his grip on his state | organization, and trying to force! through his slate of appointments. It is rumored that he has been unsuccessful, due to pressure by the "clean up" squad. Cold in the Head" is An acute attack of Nasal Catarrh.

MORE THAN BILLION HAS BEEN PUT INTO SAVINGS SECURITIES REDEMPTIONS ARE GROWING SMALLER AS WISE INVESTORS RECEIVE INTEREST ON THEIR MONEY' ^ v' 1 * More than one thousand million dollars have been invested In Thrift | and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates by wise and thrifty persons in this country, according to an official report recently compiled. Of this amount, over $730< 000,000 is now outstanding, and investments are steadily Increasing. The banner year, of course, was 1918, when there was a strong patriotic appeal. Total sales for 1918 were $971,913,000. During 1919, when the sales campaign was based on national thrift rather than patriotism. $185^306,000 was brought Into the Treasury, and in 1*20 the total was $43,892,000. Redemptions to date include $378,254,#00 of the 1918 series. $33,441,000 of the 1919 series, $8,080,000 of the 1920 is-1 sues and about $135,000 of the 1921 series.

When an American lle-d Cross unit reached Mltau recently and opened tip headquarters in a vacant bank building, bales of formerly valuable securities were found heaped in a corner. They were beautifully engraved ou fine bond paper, but their value was absolutely nothing. As paper was scarce, the crisp bonds and stocks were utilized ;is wrapping paper by the Ked Cross workers. If the safe deposit boxes and bureau drawers. and trunk trays of America were emptied, thousands of bales of Securities equally valueless would be uncovered. Millions have beeu invested by Americans within the last year iu stocks which are worth no more than the sf-curities of the defunot government of Imperial Russia. Some investors are continuing to buy beautifully engraved certificates good for nothing but wrapping paper at the price of profitable investments.

The urge of thrift and nuuuviujr ia virongest witn too msjiy only when a financial pinch comes. Yet this finch will seldom be felt if, as President Harding says, we practice "a rigid and yet sane economy? attended by individual prudence and thrift which are so essential to this trying hour and reassuring for the fu ture." Thrift is commendable at all times. Individual financial emergencies are continually arising and to set one's household in order by planning a program of "rigid yet sane economy, attended by individual prudence and thrift" is to ward off the serious consequences of such emergencies. Among the millions of American wage-earners those who were thrifty have been least concerned about high prices or business depression.
