The conference which represented cotton growers, merhants, bankers, ami manufacturers from 22 States, after a uornlng session with Secre? tary McAdoo and the reserve board, called on the president. He assured them all the full cooperation of the national government In their efforts to meet the situation confroting the cotton Industry us a result of the closing of the European markets by war. The president urged that every interest do its best to help Itself. "I am not willing to believe," he said, "that these conferences are in? tended to call on the government to rescue men who know how to take ??are cf themselves, but that they arc called for the purpose of the common counsel and putting at the disposal of the men who know how to take care of themselves every legitimate instru? mentality of the governn cut itself.

The conference this afternoon de? voted considerable time to discussing wurchousc facilltks. S. T.

II. 10d iniinds Makes Presentation of Howl und Silver Service* Se(. Mayor L. 1). Jennings last night was presented a beautiful cut glass punch howl, a heavy embossed silver and! mahogany tray and a silver service ten set as a gift from the people of Bumter in recognition of the valuable service he had done for his State in time of need without any thought of reward? The presentation was made! by Prof. S. H. Edmunds on behalf I of citizens and .Mayor Jennings in his speech of acceptance emphasised the need of healing all broaches and ? wounds which hail been made in the recent campaign and primary and! having a united people. There were marly a thousand per? sons gathered together to witness the ceremony, many automobiles filled with holies being parked along the sides of the streets. The ceremony took place at the crossing of Main and Liberty streets, the gifts being placed on a table on a large dray wagon, which served as an impromptu Stand? Supt. Bdmundl and Mr. Jen? nings wore seated on the stand. The reception given Mr. Jennings was tremendous and was an indication'< of what the Sumter people thought) he hud done for his State, and their esteem for him personally. The ova- , tion was one such as is seldom ac? corded to anyone in this State and was one of the ways in which the people gave vent to their gratification and enthusiasm at the results of the recent fiction in which Mr. Jennings had played such un important role. in his remarks Superintendent Ed? munds praised the valuable work of Mayor Jennings in behalf of his State, closing with these words: "Mr. Jennings realized the obliga? tion of the citizen to the State when In obedience to the voice of the moth? er State he gave in unstinted measure his talents, his time, and his boundless Shergy to bei- interests. He has fought a good light and he d serves the plaudits of his fellow citizens. The citizens of Sumter wish to convey to him the expression of their affection and appreciation. Mr. Jennings stands among us tonight not us the cham? pion of a faction of the Democratic party, but as the beloved mayor of our beloved city and with these ex? pressions there goes not the slightest vestige of bitterness for our friends on the other side. We have no right to deny to them the privileges that we demand for ourselves. An honest difference of opinion. And now. Mr. Jennings, in the name and in behalf of the citizens of Sumter 1 present this gilt as a token of love, affection and grateful appreciation." Major Jennings in his reply stilted thiit now the campaign was over, he would call on all persons, on what? ever side they had been allied, to unite and Work together to do away with factionalism and to work for the good of the State. Mr. Jennings stated that while lie did not get the office, he had rather have the esteem, the respect ami the confidence of the people in the State than any office which the people could bestow Upon him. if he hud done any? thing of service, it was nothing more than the duty he owed his State, lie thought that tile people of the State had supported Qov, lilease through a misapprehension, and as soon as they learned Just what kind of officer he was. they had turned against him, sis was shown by their votes. He stated that he had no malice in his heart against any otic on the opposite side, not even against Please personally, ami h<* called upon all of them to lay aside then prejudices ami to join to? gether in suppressing lawlessness and in making the State better and more progressive. Mi*. Jennings made an excellent speech, which was w ell received by , all. his remarks being of a nature cal? culated to heal any breaches made during the campaign. .*.( the conclusion of his speech nevcral sturlwurt cltlsens hoisted the mayor on their shoulders and bore him off, while the crowd cheered.

PLAN IN MONEY MARKET. DEFINITE DETAILS ARE NOT AN? NOUNCED. Grnln (iocs Abroad?sout horn Banks j Art* Active Borrowers anil Many1 Now Loans arc Deported. New York, Aug. ::t>.?Additional Steps looking to the relief of the for? eign exchange situation were taken by International hankers today but definite details were lacking, it k. understood the $3,000,000 of New York city obligations which fall due the first week In (September will be met by the purchase of exchange in this market. Arrangements are under way also to facilitate Shipments uf grain and (Ib? er commodities to Furopc in larger volume. Some hankers have decided to Issue long bills against future grain shipments. Most of the grain now going abroad is consigned to France while England IS taking small amounts' of cotton. Apropos of the cotton situation, Southern hanks again were active bor? rowers today and aside from numer? ous renewals of loans which mature between now and the end uf the month, many new loans were report? ed. To meet these fresh demands it is likely local banks will have to increase their supplies of emergency currency. A review of the steel and Iron in? dustry indicates that the leading mills are turning out. no less than a month! ago, some more so, but buying power is steadily running behind production. There has been some inquiry ? from abroad, including Australia, without iiuch actual buying. Nevertheless it is the prevailing opinion that exports must eventually assume large propor? tions because of the cutting of the Bu ropcan supply. Announcement by the lYnnslyvanla railroad of its intention to further cur tall its passenger service along tho main system was attributed to foreign conditions. other roads are said to be contemplating similar action. In various lines of industry and utility there are indications of reduced activi? ty. Money shows a tendency to harden, some loans being made at as high as ?J per cent. Foreign exchange has been visibly strengthened by the reported success of the German army. De? mand sterling was quoted at 5.04 to B.06, with cables at 6.05 1-2 to .a point higher, while the little business done in Paris cables was between 4.00 und 4.U5. BLEASE GETS CURRY COMB.

Blease has frequently repeated on the stump in the recent campaign: "I will pardon whom l please, and "you antl-Dlease Ites can't help HV" He has alse made frequent reference to the livery stable at Xewhcrry, where he would go, if he were defeated.

Pleasant? llobbcry is Motive. Charleston, Aug. ?<;.? With hi? heurt pierced with buck shot, the body of a gray haired Confederate veteran. William Uollard, was found dead yes? terday in a pool of blood in the store Of lsaae Limbaker, eight miles from Mount Pleasant, where the deceased was employed as a clerk. Robbery is believed by authorities to have been the movtlve of the assassination and the guilty party was not clever enough to cover up a possible due, aver au? thorities, who are now engaged in an investigation. Four negroes are held as suspects and three of them, it is stated, are accused of being impli? cated. A close examination of the store room where the dead body had lain was made and disclosures that are now being regarded with the utmost secrecy are said to have been found. Whether they will have any direct bearing on the case is a matter of con? jecture. A lantern was found near the dead body. Mr. Pollard was a bachelor and made the room over the store his liv? ing apartment. He had lived alone lor years and no one was known to be with him at the time of the acci? dent. Whether he went down to the store room to get oil, or was at? tracted there by a noise is a matter that will probably never be known. His body was near the oil tank and the idea is surmised that he was get? ting oil ami was met unexpectedly by intruders. The weapon that dealt death was not found, nor any trace of the shell. A series of mysteries is connected with the tragedy. No report of the shots was heard by anybody, as far as is known, and no one is able to place the approximate time when the deed was committed* The man was last seen alive Saturday or Sunda\ When discovered the body was cold in death and evidently hail lain in its own blood for some time. Mr. Lim baker, for whom the deceased worked, visited the store yesterday before noon and made the startling discovery. He reported the matter to the rural police Who have taken the matter in hand. Sheriff J. Blmore Martin stated to? day that he had heard <?nly meagre details and would go to Mount Pleas? ant this afternoon to conduct a per? sonal investigation. DECREE IX NEW HAVEN CASE. Department of Justice and Hallway Lawyers Begin Preparations for Dissolution Agreement. Washington. Aug. 24.?Preparations today were begun by department of justice officials and attorn' ys of tin New Haven railroad to write the agreement for the system's dissolu? tion into legal form and submit it, probably next week to the United States district court at New York. The submission of the decree will mark the final stage in the negotia? tions between tho law department of the government and the railroad. It was said at the department tonight that there is no reason to believe that the New Haven lawyers will fail to agree to the department's ideas, since the latest action of the New Haven board of directors was to declare w ill? ingness to meet Mr. McKeynold's terms. The decree will follow the lines of the agreement between the department and the road last spring, it was said. PASSES WAREHOUSE BILL. Ifolco Smith Measure Adopted Without Test. Washington.

With returns in from every county involved, it is evident that the entire South Carolina delegation in con? gress lias been returned to office, many of the members by tremen? dous majorities. Crom the start of the counting it was apparent that only two?Messr*.

In the first district .Mr. Whaley was hard pressed by IS. J. Dennis, who ran well in the country and carried the war into Mr. Whaley's territory w Ith a big vote in Charleston. Mr. Finley in the Fifth was behind in the count at one time but his home i county, York, came through with a tremendous majority and put him on the safe side. in Hie Third Wyatt Aikcn seems to have carried the day on the first pri? mary against his three opponents, while Joseph T.

The committee on the play grounds are very anxious to make enough money to defray the expenses of keeping up the grounds, and in order to do this in a way that would give pleasure to children and make place more attractive to them, it was de? cided to sell ice cream there every Friday afternoon as long as the cream was contributed. Of course that is the only way in which they could make anything, clear of expense, so it is most earnestly asked that any persons who are interested in this good work will give either some cream or the money for same.

Just Cripple Around. Some people just cripple around most of the days of their life, worth about half what they might be to themselves and their families, with all energy gone ami only duty dragging them about their daily tasks. They dont know what is the matter, and treat first one symptom and then an? other, without much result. The real trouble is that the blood is not rich enough to supply tho demands of the system. This lack of the necessary elements may manifest itself in nerv? ousness, in indigestion, in rheuma? tism, in emaciation, in that all gone'' feeling. Just give yourself a chance by making your blood all right and see how quick nature will give you poise and energy. Many of your ! neighbors havo redeemed lives almost shipwrecked by the faithful use of J Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy, which is a great cllmlnant and ionic.
