SENATOR DIAL HAS HAS PROPOSITION SOUTH CAROLINA'S NEW SENATOR PUTS SUGGESTION FORWARD ' I Washington, April '21.?One of the best ideas which has been advanced te a long time along constructive lines was put forth here today by 9. B. Dial of South Carolina, who will take his seat in the senate, as the successor of the late Senator Tillman, on the calling of the extra session of congress. Mr. Dial said that as the United States shipping board is now selling .^uycuuucuv skips to private concerns nothing ketter could be done than for the people of the different States, especially those having large ports like Charleston, Savannah, Wilmington, Jacksonville, Tampa and others, to fc>rm corporations, buy some of these ahips, and thus serve a number of excellent purposes. In the cotton section, especially should this be done. There would always be a sufficient number of ships on hand to j move the crops independently of any estrictions, and the same could be I done with regard to naval stores, lumber, fruits and vegetables, on a large scale, and anything else that this country produces. He would by his plan, not only take advantage of shipping out our varied products but would have the ships return with import cargoes. A tremendous advantage would be derived should those ships be named the South Caroling the Georgia, the Florida, etc., which would be, in kis opinion, an international advertisement for those sections. Ships are now being sold to various interests, and as in the past, it may be possible that they may mot be acquired when wanted, which would not be the case if owned and pe rated by local or State interests. There was never a time in the South's history, according to the new senator, when there were more pportunities for that section. Now is the accepted moment, he believes lot quick action, and with the government willing to sell these ships ?n the very best and most liberal terms, nothing better could be done Aan for the Southern States which are progressive to acquire some of Mr. Dial is an organizer of large dimensions, having had many years experience in cotton milling and he te thoroughly convinced that this plan is entirely feasible and also feat it is one which would work to fee best interests of the whole counfey. -Of course," Mr. Dial said, "I would prefer to see the South begin "" this movement, because I am a Southerner myself, but it is something which might he done by the whole country. The great resources of the West right thus be handled as well as / those of the South if it is done now iat if there is much delay I fear feat the .big concerns of the North ay take advantage of this situafem." ? * ?4.1 IL: r .....u i:i?? AUUUICr llllilg X YTV/U1U uac W impress upon the people of the country," Mr. Dial said, "is that they are not taking advantage of the federal reserve banks as they should do. Here are great mopied institutions which our liberal government ll placing at our very doors and al. most begging us to use with but scant results. "We should use the banks and Buy the ships and this done you will And us all on the high road to con-i tinued and permanent prosperity quicker than any other way I may mention. We have a great South?a great country? the opportunities J -# Ml 1 i. are an arouna us u we win out laxe advantage of them. As an organizer of many years experience I know what I am talking about on this hip proposition and I beg my people to act now and soon reap the benefits of this plan, * which I consider one of the greatest which may present itself for many years to oome. Let South Carolina and the other States show what they can do to get their cotton and other products to foreign markets through their own ships sailing from their own ports."?P. H. McGowan, Columbia State. o Took Own Life Greenwood, April 31.?Mrs. Mary Owens Hill, wife of I. G.
