SAME OLD CONTEST.
gFlll Be Glad to Get Money 10 Lieu
Of Seat.
Erioleau, Meyers and Dantzler Claim,

prioleau, Meyers and Dantzler Claim
to Be Elected to Congress at Last
Election.
A dispatch from Washington to
The News and Courier gave the in
formation that Representatives Le-
gare, Patterson and Lever, from the
1st, I'd and 7th Congressional dis
tricts, respectively, were again to be
put to the Inconvenience and trouble
of going through with the contests
filed by the three South Carolina ne
groes: Aaron Pr?oleau, Isaac Myers
and 4. D. Dantzler, who want to go
TO Congress from these districts.
1t appears from the records in the
Dffice of the clerk in the House that
She testimony in these cases were
fled last July, and was opened ac-
cording to law, during the months of
August and September of the past
year. The papers filed by Prioleau
cover I'll pages of testimony and
briefly those Of Myers 119, and
those of Dantzler ia.
The committee on elections has
announced already that unless more
damaging testimony can be secured
by the South Carolina negroes than
they have produced up to this time
there is little chance for any of the
present Representatives to be un-
seated. AS a matter Of duty the
committee is compelled to waste
much valuable time in the reading
of aflidavits from the contestants in
these cases, and in listening to long
winded arguments from their attor-
neys.
An examination of the briefs that
have been filed shows that they diff
fer in no material respect from those
filed heretofore. In the main they
attack the South Carolina election
laws as being unconstitutional, be-
cause Of the diSfranchisement OF the
negro. Around this is built up a
sentimental tale of woe about the
negro and his abuse in the South.
which is handed to Congress at the
beginning of each new session of
Congress.
Neither of the contestants expect
to get a seat in Congress, but they
are after the two thousand dollar
allowance that the law gives to all
contestants for congressional seats.
It Is Just such forces as these cases
present every two years that con-
yinces us that the right Of suffrage
should never have been conferred on
such men as Dantzler and the 9th
ers, who would cut grotesque fig
ure in the national halls Of legis-
lation.

Will Branch Out.

The H. E. Reeves Drug Company
has decided to increase its capital
stock from, $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
was also decided to establish branch
stores at other places. The first of
these will be opened at st. Mat
thews at an early date. The busi-
ness of the company is managed by
Mr.. H. E. Reeves, and we congratu-
late him on the signal success he is
meeting with.

ing was caused by the burning of
the residence of Jim Dozier, colored,
on Dickson street Most of the fur
niture and other things were got
ten out of the house. Dozier's wife,

brought out on a cot in the rain,

Fire ut Norway.

On last Tuesday at Norway gin
house belonging to Mr.. H. S. Spires

amounts to about $1,000, with no

building, but by heroic work both
were saved. The cause of the fire is
not known

Inventions and devices for the ad-
vancement of photography, so rapidly
are they brought to our notice The
latest is liquid lens that by its use
instantaneous photographs may be
made by gas.ss sht, and a one-minute
exposure will be sufficient for moon

duced between the parts of rectili.

New York has 1923 fewer stables

For College Men to Think of.

The colleges offer no more popular
courses than those along sociological
lines, and it is good sign that it is so.
But the men who are sent out from
college or university should possess as
the result of their study in this field.
and also through the personality of
their instructors. a well-balanced. con-
structive purpose in dealing with social
problems. Yet often it happens that a
professor who is familiar with all So
eial theories has never had opportunity
to put any theory into practice. So
the college man, whose faculties should
be Instruments of precision and whose
judgments should he steadied bv knOwl-
edge, is often young man with head
full OF theories undigested or possibly
Indlgestible. The sOcialistic propagan-
da does not lack advocates and mis-
sionaries among the unschooled. Nav
we not expect our college men trained
as they are to think and with minds
accustomed to precise and discriminat-
ing effort. to be able to meet in a sane
and practical way the extravagant the
ories of those deiiciently trained.-Les-
