AMERICA TO ESCAPE WAR.y ..

Wilson Confident He Can Steer Cleof Shoals of Devastating Conflict.

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 21..Iespeech devoted primarily to a d

cyssion of the need for economic p]paredness in the United States, Predent Wilson told a delegationfarmers, architects and engine*here tonight that he did not exp<the United States to get into war.

"I know that the way in which 1

have preserved peace is objected tcsaid the president, "and that certagentlemen say they would have taksome other way that would inevitathave resulted in war, but I am e

expecting this country to get iEwar, partly because I am not expeing these gentlemen to have a chanto make a mess of it."

Taking the work done by the a

ministration for the farmers as 1text Mr. Wilson declared: "We wa

the privilege of representing twhole force of the nation."He demanded that men be p

through a "third degree" in resp*to where they stand with regardlove of the United States and saidwas glad the campaign was neai

over "because I am in a hurry to idown to business again."

# "Will Call Time.""There is a great deal of irrespc

sible talk being indulged in," deched the president in discussing t

campaign. "Men are saying thinthey know perfectly well they cann

make good on and it disturbs the n

tion's counsels. On the 7th of >ivember I will call time."

Mr. Wilson said the Democraiparty had been trying to take t

government out of the controlsmall groups and "square it with tcounsel of the whole nation."

In detail he told of work bei:done to mobilize the industrial i

sources of the nation, saying "onethe great lessons of the Europeiwar has been that the economic c

ordination and cooperation of t

country is just as important as t

military cooperation of it."The occasion of the president's a

dress was the celebration of "Fariers' day" at Shadow Lawn, but a d<egation of architects and engineefrom New York, led by a band, car

Charleston, Oct. 23..The SouthernExpress company, charged with"" delivering liquor illegally and with

handling contraband liquor, was triedin the court of general sessions today,Judge Rice presiding, and was ,

found guilty of the illegal delivery. charge, the case going to the jury

without argument, after T. MoultrieMordecai, attorney for the defense,

t had made motions for quashing thecase, for continuance, and for a

^ change of venue, all these points be3_ing refused. Mr. Mordecai citedtwelve grounds on motion to quash,

t two being the same as were advanced

^ in the Mappus case by M. RutledgeRivprs holding that thp apt rrpatinsr

*Sthe new single county ninth circuit

ywas unconstitutional, because no

& change of venue was possible, andthat the fall'term of court was notlegally fyeld, under provisions of thelaw. This case arose from the seiz6v

st, completely destroyed by fire heret0 about 9 o'clock tonight. All of thea_i occupants escaped without injury.,r~ The fire started in the tower of the

, Value and Insurance.°" ' The building was valued at $35,000and it is understood that insur- I

ance to the amount of $15,000 wasie carried. The fire was not discovered .

until it had gained considerable head°~way and owing to the age of theie building and the material out ofQt which it was constructed the fire departmentwas unable to do more thance | protect nearby property, some of:c- j which was extremely close. It was

x" with difficulty that the residence of\ President R. S. Wilkinson, of the col.

ls lege, was saved without- damage. Anstother residence threatened for a timewas that of Mrs. D. N. Smith, whose

m property adjoins that of the college.ie Held Class Rooms.

The main auditorium and most of1(* the class rooms were in the burnedm building. It is said that until recentLnly a much larger amount of insurieance was carried, but that on accountld of the very great risk involved, somes" of the insurance companies cancelledts their policies. ..
