CONCESSIONS TO
AMERICAN BUYERS
ENGLISH WILL LET CONTRACTEDFOR
GERMAN GOODS THROUGH
BLOCKADE.
THE DYESTUFF SITUATION
England Places Responsioility For
Holding Up of All Dyestuff Shipments
on Germany.
Washington Concessions in the
enforcement against American commerce
of the British order-in-council
were announced as a result of informal
negotiations just completed by
the foreign trade advisers of the state
department.
The British Ambassador, Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, assured the trade advisers
that their informal representations
in cases where the British orders
have caused "undue hardships"
tx> American commerce will receive
special consideration.
The British concessions are especially
intended to meet complaints of
American importers that their Christmas
trade is threatened by failure
to obtain Roods made in Germany
and Austria. Generally speaking, it
Is Great Britain's intention to permit
passage through the blockade lines
of goods for which the American importers
Vave entered into contract
with German and Austrian firms.
Heretofore it has been required that
the money shall have actually been
paid for the goods.
Goods valued at many millions oJ
dollars have accumulated at Rotterdam
and await transportation to tho
Fnlted States. The order applies to
the.se, but whether it will extend to
goods yet in German factories, but
under contract for delivery on this
side of the Atlantic, is yet undetermined.
The entire responsibility for tho
holding up of dyestuffs of German
manufacture intended for America is
placed by British authorities on the
German government. To sit Itself
straight in this matter the British
Embassy issued the folowing state- |
nient:
"On April 14, a formal notice was
Issued by the British government
that they would allow vessels carrying
two shipments of dyestuffs, which
were paid for by delivery in Germany
of certain cotton cargoes, to pass ^
without interference, provided the
vessels sailed under a neutral flag;
tliut the shipments were made front
Rotterdam; and the dyestuffs consigned
to the Secretary, of Commerce
for distribution directly to the textile
industries.
"This offer, which was refused by
Germany, still holds good."
GOVERNORS END MEETING.

Boston.?After discussion of the
naval and military resoures of the
country in whicb it was generally
agreed that the United States was not ,
adequately prepared against foreign i
Invasion, the Conference of Governors

Intention of demanding from their
congressmen support in any program

The governors chose Salt Lake
City as the place for next year's meeting

Other committee members
elected were Governor Stuart of Virginia

On Cotton
Time Loans
A correspondent asks why it is
that Secretary McAdoo will advance
money without interest to
national banks to lend at 0 per
cent, on cotton to farmers. He
Wftllld lil(A ftifl fr\ Kn
? v...u .iiviivj wv vo
loaned at 4 per cent.
The reason is simple. The national
banks are in a system
closely coordinated wiih the
government. The money is put
out to do what, conld not otherwise
be done without straining
the credit machinery of the local
banks. The farmer cannot gel
money ordinarily at six dollars
a hundred because his credit is
not good to that extent. The
bank has, moreover, greater stability
than the individual, and
hence should naturally get money
cheaper. The risk, too, is smaller
in lending to banks; for they
are stable co-operative enterprises.
j^er tne farmers form sound
credit associations and they c^n
get loans to better advantage.
Thp 0 per cent, rate is 2 per cent,
less than is usual in South Carolina.
The plan therefore will
save the farmer 2 per cent. The
credit of a national bank in the
reserve sygtem is better almost
by G per cent, than that of the
farmer with mtion as security.
With cm i money in New York
around \Vi and 2 per cent., the
bar.ks find little trouble in getting
money to put out at 8 per
cent. Yet the larger central
banks upon whom the burden
must fall may not want government
money to advance on cotton
if it brings with it the neces
sity of paying the usual rates of
interest on the deposit. They
mi?iii noi care to risK long term
loans on volatile security.
We should like to see farmers
get loans at a low rate of interest.
Too low a rate would encourage
speculation and overproduction.
A saving of 2 per
cent, will help; and it may be
that the rate fixed is reasonable
when all the factors are taken
into consideration.?The State.
Cotton From Wilmington
Cotton interests of Wilmington
are proceeding with preparations
for handling the business
of the oncoming crop just the
same as if a war was not in progress.
The first steamship for
foreign export is expected in
September, and apparently business
will go along in spite of the
contraband order, as it has been
going on at. that p ;rt every cotton
season. The Dispatch says
the Cooper compress has been in
operation at intervals all Sumtner
and considerable cotton ha?
been shipped every week for
Liverpool by way of Baltimore
and New York. The blow of the
compress will be heard in a short
time all over the South and it
will have a little bit more cheerful
tone than characterized it at
this time last. year.
Cotton For Twine
Postmaster Gen. Burleson is
anxious that manufacturers of
cotton twine again avail themselves
of the opportunity offered
by his action in advertising for
proposals to furnish either cotton
or jute twine for use in tieing
I together letters and packages
during the year begi..ing Novem j
ber 1, next. Nearly a billion
and a half yards of twine will Ije
j consumed by the poatomce department
during the 12 months'
contract period. It is used in
mrge quantities.
Last summer the Beaumont
Manufacturing company of Spar
tanhurg obtained the contract on
terms involving a saving for the
postolHce department over the
lowest bid for jute of Ifc&bOOO for
the yea*-. The South Carolina
company has fulfilled its contract
to date and thecoGgM

A Case For
Wise Action
Three cases came before Mag
ietrate Watson Tuesday that emphasize
very strongly the need
of a better method of handling
juvenile delinquents.
The defendants were Miss
Sykes, 18; Fred Hushing, 16, and
William Maree, 16. These three
were arrested on the technical
charge of stealing roasting-ears.
The real charges against them,
it is said, were of vagrancy and

Fred Hushing is the son of
Charley Hushing, who, some
years ago killed his wife near
Mt. Crogban and was electrocuted.
The young woman has been
before the authorities oh another
occasion and released on her
promise of good behavior. Will
Maree, 1(5, is obviously only beginning
his downward career.
All three pleaded guilty, the
boys b^ing sent to the chaingang
and the girl to the county jail.
An act was passed by the legislature
two years ago making
the probate judge the probationary
oflicer of the county, hence
the judge in all cases of youthful
delinquency.
When the sentence of the
magistrate's court ,vas being put

to represent them and
drew up papers asking ?or a new
trial in order that they may be

officer, who has the power to

or to bind them out, the
latter archaic method being
largely superseeded nowadays by
the former.
I The contention of the attorney
for the defendants is that to
place this young woman in jail
cannot benefit ..er or the community.

have her sent to the Door of
Hope for Girls in Columbia.
He contendp further that to
send these boys, one only 18
years old, to the chaingang wjll
only serve to drive them further
on the way they are going.

When he saw the Sheriff,
George put his faith in foot work
