MR. STEVENSON MAKES
A STRONG SPEECH
When the bill was before Congress
to amend the Federal Reserve act,
Hon. W. F. Stevenson made a strong
speech on the bill, in which he showed
his interest in the cotton planters of
the South. The bill as he explained
w?s very important m tnat it assists
in the preparation for the World
Commerce that the United States
should engage in if it proposes to
maintain its great place among the
nations of the earth.
We quote part of his speech, showing
as it does the benefit that would
come to the cotton planter. Mr.
Stevenson's remarks were heartily
applauded. He said:
Mr. Speaker, to give an idea of
what institutions of the kind which it
is proposed to organize would mean,
if we can get them expeditiously, I
would say that a man in London or
in Liverpool who wants to buy cotton
today goes to his bank, for instance,
borrows ten thousand pounds sterling.
He comes to America or sends
his agents here to buy cotton with
that money. If he can get the gold
and send it over here it would bring
him $18,600, but he can not get it.
If he has to c ome over here and
draw exchange in pounds, shillings,
and pence, as he will have to do, that
amount of money will net him $41,500.
If, instead of that, he could go
to a banker of the character we propose
to establish, or its branch in
London, and arrange to put up the
same securities there and get his
loans in dollars in the home bank in
New York, his ten thousand pounds
would be worth to him $48,600, and
he could buy with that 188,857
pounds of cotton at 35 cents a pound;
but if he has to draw exchange
and get only $41,500 for his ten
thousand pounds, he could buy exactly
20,28(5 pounds less of cotton. In
other words he loses 40 bales of cotton
in the transaction. That is the
difference, and it amounts to (I cents
a pound. If we have these institu
tions so that he could come here anil
get his money, by putting up the
same securities that he puts up in
England, he could pay G cents a
pound more for his cotton than he
can under the present arrangement,
and on the 1 1,000,000 bales of cotton
in the United States that would mean
$330,000,000 to the people of America
who market the cotton.
Mr. Stevenson added:
The same thing is true with respect
to the wheat market. If he could
use the foreign exchange institutions
that we propose to build up and could
come here and borrow his money and
have it in dollars, his money would
buy 19,440 bushels of wheat, while
if he had to come here and draw exchange
he could only buy 1G.600
bushels of wheat, fixing the price of
the wheat Jit $2.50 a bushel. In other
words, if he could get his money in
dollars, he would be able to pjiy 42
cents more a bushel for wheat anil
tVu> ?nmo /vf *U~4
n-v V..W MM...V umuuilt VI VYIK-rtL lilill
he gets nt $2.50 now, drawing exchange.
For that reason the present
emergency is one which makes it
exceedingly important that these institutions
be brought into existence,
with all of the possible safeguards
thrown around them, in order that
the farming interests of the United
States, the producer?and the same
thing applies to the manufacturer?
may have a market, where he can can
get the full worth of his property and !

buyer here to buy the goods and the
products which he makes for export.
For that reason I am in favor of passing
this bill as promptly as due consideration
for proper legislation
makes it possible.
30-HOUR WEEK IMPOSSIBLE
SAYS SECRETARY WILSON
At the Washington conference between
the operators and the representatives
of the miners, Secretary
of Labor Wilson said that both sides
to the coal controversy were wrong
to a certain extent, and declared that
the 30-hour-week demand of the miners
is impossible as well as the demand
for a GO per cent wage increase.
Speaking of what he termed
"the stand-pat operators" the Secretary
said: "They have not taken the
right attitude either." Calling attention
to the evil effects of the shortage
of fuel throughout the country,
the Secretary said that prompt action
in settling the matter of wages and
hours is urgently necessary, and he
stated that in order to accomplish
this purpose, there must be concee1WAI
by sides.
HOUSE ELIMINATES
ANTI-STRIKE PROVISIONS
OF RAILROAD BILL
Evidently influenced by the covet
threats of a general strike, the House
of Representatives, by a vote of 161
to 108, adopted the Anderson amendment
to the section of the Railroad
Regulation bill dealing with the settlement
of labor disputes, thereby
eliminating the proposed atati-strike
provisions of the bill and yielding
completely to the demands of the
fourteen railroad unions and brotherhoods
who have been offering bitter
opposition to the anti-strike legislation
of any kind.
Three plans were before the
House. One was the Webster amendment
declaring railroad strikes illegal;
another attempted strike-andlockout
prevention by providing for
the assessment of damages against
railroads for lockouts and aginst labor
unions for non-performance of
contracts, and a third plan, which was
favored by labor unions and which
the House adopted, which leaves the
matter practically as heretofore.
FRENCH CONDEMN AMERICAN
SENATE'S TREATY ACTION
An article in La Presse de PariB,
the joint paper, now being published
in Paris by all the newspapers except
the Socialist on account of the
printers' strike, criticizes the conduct
of the American Senate in connection
with the Treaty of Peace. The
article says in part;
"It is not time now for us to look
for causes; we must look at facts.
The Peace Treaty before the American
Senate appears today completely
deadlocked. We and the rest of the
world have too much at stake on
American ratification not to address
a last appeal to our American friends
before the final vote.
France and Europe have had confidence
that America would accept in
the hour of peace her resposibililies
growing out of the war. We never
disintinguished between American
political parties. We regarded the
President of the United tSates as the
messenger of America and as the
holder of a mandate until he had been
recalled; he remained before all the
diplomats of the world as the true
representative of his country. The
treaty, be it good or bad, was constructed
always in concert with?often
under the direction of?the representative
of the United States;
hence the moral responsibility of
Amereca."
ASK YOUR BANKER
A successful business man never
hesitates to call on his banker for ad
vice.
His banker might hesitate to advise
the purchase of an automobile because
it is a source of expense; but
when you mention your hauling needs
and the necessity for a truck, you at
once enlist a banker's interest.
The earnings from a good truck
will soon pay the original cost of the
trusk.
Your banker does mot think of
truck buying as an expense. He knows
that it is an industrial economy?an
asset in your business which you will
quiclky recognize in your bank account.
Every progressive bank in the
State is glad to lend money to any
substantial farmer or business man to
buy a truck.
Your banker will want to know,
however, whot sort of a truck you intend
to buy, what record it ha3, the
kind of service behind it, and the financial
responsibility of the manufacturers
The splendid performance of Indiana
Trucks running in all other
sections of the State is not equalled
by any other truck. It is built at
Marion, Ind., by the Indiana Truck
Corporation, a concern which enjoys
the highest possible financial rating,
'ru,. .1:.?u.. /"> 1: ?
I i iiv uv<?tv: iiinii luutui is niu v>m uiiim
Motor Company, of Statesville, N.
C., a firm that is well known in
truck circles, and one not unknown to
your banker.
With such evidence of reponsibility
behind it, the Indiana Farm Truck is
commanding very favorable attention
amontf the farmers of this country.
Every Indiana Farm Truck carries
the Porta Power Units which turns it
into a portable power plant. It makes
use of evrey idle second of the truck
and makes the truck more than ever
a real investment.

RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIKS
CONDUCT AMERICAN
PROPAGANDA VIA MEXICO
The recent disclosure by the State '
Department at Washington of the
fact that there have been large ship- |
ments of arms and ammunitions into i
Mexico from Europe, was followed 1
by the further disclosure that the |
Bolshevist agitators from Russia, who j
are conducting a propaganda in this ?
country, operate through Mexico. It 1
is stated that the immigration service s
and the Department of Justice are
both concerned with the influx into ,
this country of Russian radicals and other
Red Agitators over the Mexican ,
border. Many radicals have, it appears,
-been attracted to Mexico by |
the "ultra-modern" provisions in the \
new Constitution.

THREE FEDERAL JUDGES
UPHOLD PROHIBITION LAW
Federal Judges Learned Hand and
John C. Knox, both of New York, and
Federal Judge, John G. Rose, of
Maryland, sitting in New York, all
three handed down decisions declaring
that the Volstead act is consti- j
thtional and that Congress has the
lower to enact legislation forbidding j
the sale of liquor. In his decision
Federal Judge Hand unheld the valiiity
of the Volstead Enforcement act (
from bond. Judge Hand refused al- 1
jo to enjoin the officials from enforc- j
ing penalties under the national pro- (;
libition act, and declared that "the '
wartime prohibition act remains a I
valid exercise of the Congressional |
power."

To many of our readers "the streets

F. M. Easterling, 114 Jordan St.,
Bennettsville, S. C., says: "I have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and found
them to be as represented. I used
them some time ago when my back
was lame and I had a tired
