NICHOLLS WILL URGE DEFENSE IN SYMPATHY WITH PRESIDENT'S POSITION. Offers Suggestions?Fourth District Congressman Was for Years Captain of National Guard Co. Spartanburg, Nov. 7.?Sam J. Nicholls, representative in congress from the Fourth South Carolina district, is heartily in sympathy with the President in the plan for national defense. He has some suggestions which he thinks will improve the bill. Representative Nicholls was for years captain of Company I of the National Guard of South Carolina and has long been interested in military affairs. "I realize the inefficiency of the National Guard in time of war," says Mr. Nicholls. "This inefficiency is largely due to the fact that it is hard to get the men to turn out to drills and take the proper interest in military affairs. There is no lack, ot course, in the fighting spirit in the National Guard and it has been my observation that whenever called upon they have rendered splendid service in riots, etc., but thev are certainly not up to standard in knowledge of military affairs. "My idea would be to require the National Guard in all the States to drill at least once a week and to pay them for their services a reasonable u mnnnf Koainrr f Kic noir:v?nMf nnnn t Vto amount paid to the regular army and letting the officers receive their pro rata share just as the privates do. In addition to this, the government should furnish adequate accommodations for each company, and equip these armories so as to make it pleasant for the men to take an interest in their work. In other words, my idea is to bring -the National Guard in close touch with the regular army and to let the continental army vir, tually take the place of the National Guard. As it now stands, I believe that the two months' plan for the continental army is a good idea, but it would be unjust for a man to have to give this time to the service unless he was paid for his time, for a great many men who have the interest of the service at heart and who would make splendid soldiers, can not afford to lose time without pay. "I am not in favor of an extravagant expenditure of money for army and navy purposes, but I agree thoroughly with the president that we should have adequate defense based upon a reasonable compensation. As I have above stated, with these suggestions I am in thorough sympathy with the president in the proposition." UNITED STATES REJECTS POLICY OF EXPEDIENCY Washington, Nov. 7.?The United States in its latest note to Great TX.U. ' 1 _ t_1? 1 '? . # " > iMiLuin, muue puune nere toaay, covering exhaustively British interference vr.ch American trade since the beginning of the European war, declares that the socalled blockade instituted by the allies against enemy countries on March 11 is "ineffective, illegal .and indefensible." Notice is served that the American government "can not submit to the curtailment of its neutral rights." and it can not "with complacence suffer further subordinax . tion of its rights and interests." Ambassador Page, to whom the note was sent by special messenger for delivery to the London foreign office, was instructed by Secretary Lansing "to impress most earnestly" upon the * British government that the United States "must insist that the relations between it and his majesty's government be governed, not by a policy of expediency but by those established rules of international conduct to which Great Britain in the past has held the United States to account when the latter nation was a belligerent engaged in u struggle for national existence." Declaring the United States unhesitatingly assumes" the task of cham pionship the integrity of neutral rights, the note proclaims that th-?. American government will devote its energies to the task, exercising always an impartial attitude. The'note, nearly 15,000 words in length, was made public by agreement between the State department and the British foreign office. It carries with it a voluminous appendix, giving r.he text of the American naval instructions issued in 1802 and a summary and table showing hundreds of vessels detained by British authorities since the beginning of the present war. The body of the note is divided into 35 points, dealing with all phases of the contraband question, seizures and detentions, prior to, as well as after, the socalled blockade was instituted, and announces that a separate communication will be sent soot, dealing particularly with the "propriety and right of the British govv ernment to include in their list of contraband of war certain articles which have been so included."

McSwain of Greenville a copy of a portrait of President Wilson woven into cloth, the cotton making it being dyed, spun and woven in the textile school at Clemson college. Mr. McSwain's letter accompanying the portrait is as follows: "I have the honor to send you by separate parcel a copy of a portrait of yourself woven into the texture of cloth. Prof. C. W. McSwain of ' Clemson college, and was woven this day by him on a Jacquard loom in the exhibit at Clemson college at the great Southern textile exposition now in progress at Greenville. "You may be interested to know that the threads making up this cloth are all of South Carolina cotton, dyed at Clemson college in fast color and will not fade in water. It is practically certain that you have the distinction of being the only president of the United States whose likeness has been woven into cotton cloth. "Please accept this likeness with the compliments of myself and my brother." Secretary Tumulty and other White House officials were much impressed by the novel production and it will no doubt be grtatly prized by the president, especially because it came from Southern friends. IN MEMORY OF C. B. BOBO.. He is gone, our precious father, He is sleeping in the tomb. Calmly sleeping till the dawning Of the resurrection morn. They have placed him in the casket And have born his form away. Still in death he's only sleeping, 'Till the resurrection day. 'Neath a mound of blooming roses, Cold in death our father lies, But his spirit's with the angels In that home beyond the skies. Oh, 'tis lonely here without him; In this world of toil and care; But we'll join him with the ransomed, In that land so bright and fair. Yes, 'twill be a happy greeting When we meet to part *io more; With our friend and loved one waiting On that bright eternal shore. God needed one more angel Among his shining band, So he reached his loving arms And clasped our father's hands. j We loved him, oh, we loved him, But Jesus loved him more. He has gone to be with Jesus, On that bright and peaceful shore. Tho his weary body's resting There beneath the cold, cold clay, Where all pain is gone forever, And he waits the judgment day. We miss him, oh, we miss him, Here on this lonesome path. His home is dark without him; We miss him everywhere. His Daughter Lillie. Thankful For Re Rem Says Fruitola and Traxo I'ossessc All the Merit That Is Claimed for It. After completing the necessary treatment, Mrs. S. S. Cole, Lampasas, Texas, was so well pleased with the results that she wrote the Pinus laboratories as follows: "Fruitola ai>^ ; Traxo are all you claim. It removed a quantity of gall-stones and I feel sure it saved my life. I am well now and thankful to you for the great good your medicine has done me. Fruitola is a powerful lubricant for the intestinal organs and one dose i? usually sufficient to clearly demon ; strate its efficiency.

Outline of a I'rogram Recommended by Government Specialists to Secure Safetv in the f'nlfnn Washington, Nov. 1.?A program of "Safe Farming" for the South is outlined in a circular which the United States Department of Agriculture has sent to bankers, business men and farmers in the cotton States. The history of agriculture in the South, it has been said, has been one of lean years and fat years. Short crops and high prices have almost ihvariably been followed by big crops and low prices and, in consequence, the farmes has experienced much distress. The increased attention which has recently been given to supporting the people upon the land has already resulted in much good, but there is some danger, it is pointed out, that, with the price of cotton rising, there will be a tendency for farmers to return to the old system of gambling on cotton. If the people of the South produced their own living, the circular points out, it would steady the whole system and keep the boat from rocking. The safety measures recommended are as fol tows: First: Produce a home garden for every family on the farm, the year round, paying special attention to a plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sufficient to supply the family with food of this character. Where fea&iblc, have a patch of sorghum or other cane to produce syrup for the family. ' Second: Produce the corn necessary* to support all of the people on the farm and the live stock, with-absed<ni? safety. Third: Produce the necessary other small grain to supplement the corn as food. Pay attention to winter grazing. Fourth: Produce hay and forage from some forage crop, sufficient to supply all of the live stock on the farm. Use legumes such as clover, cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and alfalfa for the production of hay and to enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus. Fifth: Produce the meat necessary to supply the people, through increased attention to poultry and hogs, especially. Plan to increase gradually the number of cattle and other live stock so as to have a sufficient number to consume the waste products of the farm and make the waste lands productive. Sixth:. After all of these things have been amply provided for, produce cotton for the'market. 1A A /irRIVVT A \T VT/\I T V/TP* l nv rju.
