REVENUE BILL
IN THE SENATE
1t Will Probably be Debated
Two Weeks.
TOO EARLY FOR BONDS
THE BOND FEATURE OPPOSED
BY SOME REPUBLICANS.
DEMOCRATS WILL OFFER AMENDMENTS
They Will Insist on Tax on All Producing In
dustries, Another for inheritance Tax
and Probably Greenback
issue.

! Washington. y. c.. May Interest
;n the Senate this week is the war
revenue bill, which is expected to reach
shat body with the beginning of the
week 1t will be referred at once to the
Committee Conference and probably
will be reported back Wednesday or
Thursday,
a meeting of the Finance Committee
has been called for Monday with the
view on the part of the Republicans
members of having the consideration
pf the bill in committee begun infor-
mally They have even intimated that
they may ask that Il vote be taken at
this meeting with the view of reporting
Che bill as soon as it is referred.
+, The Democratic members of the COM
mittee will oppose this program, as they
lesire opportunity to have various
amendments considered. 1t is now be-
lievcd that they will offer a provision
for tax on all producing industries, an
other for an inheritance tax and Il
third for nOn-interest bearing treasury
notes. 1t is also probable that an amend
ment will be suggested for the issuance
Of 100,000,00O dollars in green backs to
sake the place of those outstanding
which are supposed to have been des-
5rOyed. They will seek to have the
bond provision of the bill eliminated
entirely on the plea that the time has
Dot yet arrived for bond issue
There is a possibility that the Repub-
Eican members of the committee may
amend the bond provision as there is
more or less dissatisfaction with it
among Republican Senators. One of the
changes suggested is n reduction of the
amount of the bonds.
When the bill reaches the Senate the
opposition will insist upon having time
for the various factions to state the
seasons for this position. and it is now
predicted that two weeks will be re-
quired for debate. While they will in
&ist upon the elimination of the bond
Eeature they all state that they will
tote for bonds later if the war should be
prolonged sufficiently to require their
issuance.
The program of the Senate until the
Heyenue bill is reported is uncertain.
The Postoffce Appropriation bill proba-
bly, will be reported and passed. ana
the Omnibus Claims bin may be taken
Up.
THE HOUSE FORECAST.
Washington, d. c., May There is
no business of great Importance to come
before the House during the week un-
less the Appropriations Committee
brings in an Emergency War Appro-
TTiation measure. 1t was the intention
OF Chairman Cannon to make the Emor-
gRncy Appropriation part of the Gen
eFal Deficiency bill, but as that might be
delayed some time he may bring i'm a
separate measure There are also a
namber of conference reports to be dis
posed of. and these may occupy the time
of the House during the week. Several
appropriation bills are still in the CON
ference but reports are expected during
the week. The Alaska Land bill remains
to:be disposed Of and there are number
of. minor matters that may be taken up
for consideration.

At the beginning OF the war, the
people read with varying emotions
the announcements of these brilliant
social appointments and wondered
how these inexperienced sons ana t,

as many others, equally incompetent
had won any rational claim to the
high .1a responsible commissions
with which they were decorated. The
sequel is now upon US. The puolc
reads to-day with sense of grow
ing horror Of the ghastl!y blunders'
if not criminal neglect, committed oy
these same men at Santiago, aud
other places consccrated now by the
dust of those who were little better
than murdered. The war depart
mens cannot get away from respon-
sibility to the country for the unpar-
donable blunder committed by it in
running after big names instead OF
considering worthy, though humble
merit in seeking out those upon
whom to place the fearful respouslol-
lities of the hour. Il there WAS no
intentional neglect, there was I'M,

the people want to know where It
was and who was responsible prl-

(From our regular Correspondent

(From our regular Correspondent
Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.--The
battle OF bullets is probably over, bat
the era of elimination and recriml-
nation is apparently upon US, and
the battle OF wind and paper is yet
to be fought by the politicians: It
seems to be almost universally admit
ted chat something is rotten in Den
mark" but all efforts to locate the
personality Of the responsibility do
not arrive at the same ends. lnas-
much, however, as every one seeks to
satisfy himself, in measure, as 10
where the real responsibility lies, it
might be we'll to recall some peril
nens facts. The staff of the army
may have had finger in the pie, as
much OF the work done by it clearly
shows the disastrous effects of politi-
cal influence in its control over the
selection Of officers for the volunteer
army. The staff of the army consists
of these department-heads: adjutant-
general, inspector-general, quarter
master-general, subsistence-general,
surgeon-general and paymaster-gen-
eral, who were in direct and lmmedl-
ate charge of the health, comfort, fare
and efficiency of our patriotic volun-
teers. Most of the appointments
made for the war were assigned to
these departments, and the result is
known in part to the people of Amer
ica. An examination into the indi-
7idual merits Of these appointments
shows that the most Of them were
brought about by virtue (:) OF politi>
cal pulls. A few instances may suffice
to make this statement clear. MAJ. ".

that I explain to the public the cause
Of nv declining to endorse Captain

and agreeable to their wishes l take
pleasure in doing SO.
Before the second call for volunteers
was made Colonel D. ". Brailsford'

applied for commission, and I with
others, gave him my endorsement.
Later the second call was made, and
Captain Davis was an applicant for
the position Of Major, and l was So
lic;fed to endorse him. Having al
ready endorsed Colonel Brailsford
could not consistently endorse anoth-
er; in declining to do so, l made the
explanation at the time. I therefore
think it unjust in anybody making
political capital out of this matter and
I hope this explanation will be salts

stand i. There is another matter /
will mention in connection with the
matter OF manufacturing campaign

that some malicious person IS cir

is not the slightest foundation for
such a report. II I cannot be elect

that I devoted my energies to secur-

and I hope the people will not think
me foolish enough to ieopardise my

VOTE RIGHT.
LOUIS APPELT.

The sovereign voters OF this State
are called upon to again go to the
ballot box to exercise their choice for
State and county officers, and we SIN
cerely hope that in this second and
perhaps the final contest for this
year, every voter will lay aside preju-
dice and passion and vote for men
who, in his honest judgment, is best
qualified to serve in the positions to
be filed.
It must be remembered N casting
vote the voter is entrusted with a
grave responsibility; it is with the
voter to make good or bad gov
ernment. If men - chosen to I'LL
public positions who are qualifed,the
probability is that the government
can be run intelligently and econom-
ically, but if men are chosen simply
because of their personal popularity
without having the necessary qualld-
cation, the government cannot be run
satisfactorily and is bound to result
in extravaganza and higher taxation.
Go to the polls next Tuesday and Sc
lect your men just as if you would
select man to aid you in your pri-
yate affairs. The man who will stop
to think for moment, that he is
called upon to select men to admins
ter the affairs of this government, not
alone honestly, but with that busi-
ness care necessary to insure success,
will often lay aside his personal pref
erence and vote for q man whom he
personally would vote against if the
other man measured up to his stand
ard. Such voter has the interest Of
his country at heart, and if ali voters
were like him there would be less
complaint of mismanagment in pub
lie affairs.
The primary system was placed
here to give every white man an op-
portunity to have voice in the selec-
ton of those who are to manage the
government, and if the people do not
exercise that privilege properly it is
their own fault. II We fill our public
places with incompetent men we have
no right to complain, because the op-
portunity is given us to select compe-
tent material. We have often voted
for men whom We did not have per-
sonal liking for, simply because we
believed those men we're better quail
fed for the positions they sought,
and could do better service than their
opponents. No merchant would Sc
lect a bookkeeper to manage his
books because he liked the man per-
sonally; he would look into his quail
ifcations and it would not matter if
the applicant was his own son, If that
merchant believed him not qualified

A GORDON BLEu.
How tho Title Was First Given to a Fine
Cook.

~
Cook.
Although the late DUO de Nemours
had no pretersions to being an epicure,
he was the last Gordon bleu" in
France. Wc mean by this that he was
the last survivor of the Chevaliers de
St. Esprit. He was also of the last
creation, that Of 1929, when there were
only two knights made, the Due de Ne
mours and the Count de Lecce. The
Order of tho St. Esprit was created
in 1887, was suppressed by the revolu-
ton and was revived by Louis XVIII in
1914. To speak rightly, Louis XVIII
considered that the order had never
ceased to exist, for he had given two
collars during his exile, in 1910, the
one to Francis I, king Of the two Sici-
lies, and tie other to his brother, the
prince Of Salerno the father Of his
brothers. wife, the Duchess d'Aumale
The ribbon Of this order was light
blue color. It was worn around the
neck in the reiens Of Henry III and
Henry ", but was changed by Louis
XIV, when twas worn across the chest.
The Chevaliers of the St. Esprit were
always known under the name of Les
Gordon Bleu, and this was the supreme
honor during the monarchy Of France.
1t was from this that the title Of "cor-
don bleu" was given to a first class
cook. a gentleman one day declared,
after good meal, that be who had
cooked the dinner had proved himself a
Gordon bIcu" among cooks-in other
words, the master Of his art. The title
became quite the rage, and is now al
ways used to designate good cook with
out the persons who use it knowing
what it means or still less the origin OF
the title.

The race for Governor has come
down between Ellerbe and Feather
stone as We predicted weeks ago it
would. The people are acquainted with
the issues. Ellerbe represents the dis
pensary issue with all such amend
ments as will make the law good,-
sound and practicable temperance
measure, while Featherstone repre-
sents what his followers call prohlbl-
ton by eliminating the beverage feat
ure from the dispeusary law. 1t
would be useless for is to argue this
question at this time because the
people already know our views. The
question for the people to determine
is, can Mr.. Featherstone, if elected,
carry out his views with General
Assembly Overwhelmingly in favor OF
the dispensary? If they come to the
conclusion that he cannot, then they
should ask themselves if Governor
Ellerbe is not entitled to a second
term. These are matters for the peo-
pie, and we want every Democrat IN
the county to go out next Tuesday
and vote as his conscience dictates.
It is with sincere regret that our
Clarendon candidate for Secretary Of
State was not successful, but he went
over the State and made host OF
friends who will stand him in good
stead in the future. Captain Brad
ham takes his defeat like gallant
soldier, there is no sulking with him.
The people must now choose between
Col. D. H. Tompkins of Greenwood,
the present incumbent, and Col. n.
R. Cooper of Colleton, a member Of
the State Board of Control. Col.
Tompkins has as his chief clerk a
Clarendon man who has done service
for the county and who has the high
esteem of his people, Hon. L. NJ. Ra-
gin. II Tomkins is reelected Clar-
endon will be represented in that Of
fee as it now is. but should Tonp-
kins fail of election the natural sup
position is that Ragin, our Clarendon
friend, will go out with him, as it is
customary for the chief clerk to be
an officers confidential man and he
is usually brought with him.
The race for Superintendent OF Ed
ucation has come down to two, J. j.
McMahan of Richland and ". A.
Brown of Marion; both of these gen.
tlemen are good men, Clarendon hav-
ing honored Mr.. McMahan with her
choice in the first race, will no doubt
stand by him in the second.
Then we Will have to vote for an
Adjutant and Inspector General. The
two contestants are Major E. NJ.
Blythe OF Greenville and Col. J. ".
Floyd of Kershaw. Blythe received
very handsome vote in this county
in the first primary and we do not
hesitate to say that if be is elected he
will give good account of himself.
He is first class military man, strict
| ly sober and pious gentleman.
Last but not least, comes the Rail-
road Commissioner, and the contest
ants for this prize are c. ". Garris
of Colleton and Henry R. Thomas OF
Sumter. Garris in the first primary
was Clarendon's choice by fine vote.
