a black and waxy material, such as the planters of Jefferson County, Ark ansas are familiar with, but without any fertility. Gravel ia mixed with it where lime stone does not fill the bill. This condition of things and the general level of the country renders road-making and street-paving con- paratively easy job.
 To stranger business looks dull and has, the appearance of being over crowded. On the other hand new stores and residences are springins up on all sides!
 The chief attraction here seems to be what the Lord has given and man has not yet had much to do with pure air, compounded largely of ozone and oxygen. For all pulmonary, bron- chial and tuberculosis troubles. San Antonio and vicinity seem to- have been intended as the great camping ground of the afflicted. A new lease of life is given to all those who come here in those stages of sickness where an absolute miracle is not necessary. The natives claim great many mi raculous cures attributed to various influences, but it is safer not to rely on their enthusiasm too much.

Trip to the Old North State.

Editor COUNTY RECoRD:-Along
with our efficient Sheriff, George j
Graham, 1 took trip 1T week over
good section of the east part of
the Old North State. On the way
we had to wait over at several towns,
Rocky Mount, Weldon, Littleton and
Wilson. I think the town builders
of North Carolina might come to
South Carolina and learn some I'M
portant lessons on the art of laying
of town sites, etc.
We saw many mementoes Of the
Confederate war. such as old can
mons, fol ti6cations, etc.
Generally speaking, the towns Of
this State are superior in appearance
to those of the Tar Heel State. The
best laid-off town we saw in North
Carolina was Wilson, Here the
writer stopped over with kinsmsn on
the return trip. Wilson has high
school with 800 pupils, also a college
with $50 students and some of the
finest residences ever saw.
This il a thriving progressive
town and is one of the best tobacco
markets in the South, to which is
largely due to its growth and pros
perity. Located here are several
warehouses, stemmeries and tobacco
factories.
While here tie writer saw several
of his kindred for the first time IN
SO years, which was mutually pleas
ant both to them and myself,
Our gallant Sheriff, too. had the
pleasure of meeting a South Caro-
lima widow over the North Crrolina
side, a boarding house y, and it is
not beyond he range ossibllity
that this we 'bv gentlr may yet
return to RI ky Mo ::
After seei,g North Carolina, l
am more than -er convinced that
South Carolina is the garden spot
of old mother earth. May We al
ways call her home, for We know
she ever will be home to the best
people of the world.

Last year there was a good chance
to punish those members of Congress
who grabbed $4,000 apiece out Of
the public crib. They were under
contract to serve for SIS, 900 per year.
They had no legal or moral right to
change the contract without your
consent.
But they did it. And the most
discouraging thing about it is that,
although the grab was made in a
cowardiy, sneak.thief manner, the
people took no offense.
New York drove no salary grabber
from office. Lynchburg up no indig-
nant memorial. North Carolina
grand juries were silent. Wilkes
county had no word of denunciation,
nor did Putnam nor Jackson.

THAT SALARY GRAB
IN congress.
Ton WATSON fLAYS The HONORABLE
GENTLEMEN VHO Voted TO RAISE
Their own WAGES.

lhEik UUN HAucS.
The first Congress which met un
der the present Constitution fixet
the pay of members. This was IL
1889. The saialy was put at 81,
dollars for each day of actual work
In addition, each Congressman re
ceiyed ten cents per mile, going ant
coming, to cover the expensive stage
coach of travelling of those days.
In 1916, Congress decided to raise
it's own wages. A bill was passed
which gave each member standing
salary of fifteen hundred dollars pei
annum, irrespective of the days Of
actual work.
In those times, our people took
keen interest in their public affairs.
Members of Legislatures and Of Con.
gress were held to strict accounta-
bility, If the people disliked any
sct of their legislative bodies, they
pnlished the wrong-doers at the next
election.
The conduct of Congress in add.
, ing TO its own pay without consult
ing the taxpayers was resented. The
sstion was agitated throughout
country, talked Of at every cross
Is. discussed in every little gath
g. Finally, public meetings be-
to be held to denounce these
edy congressman who increased
ir own pay after getting into
ce. Grand juries spoke out in
.sjr general presentments.
In New, York the people were SO
tamorous in their condemnation of
congressman Throop for voting
simself a $500 salary that he re-
sigued. The Legislature of Rhode
Island adopted resolutions gravely
rebuking the action of Congress.
At Lynchburg, Virginia, petition
was aumerously signed in which
members of Congress were reminded
that they had known what the com
pensation of the Office was when they
sought it, and that if they were dis
satisfied with the pay they ought to
have quit the job. In Nashville,
Tenn, a mass meeting was held and
every Congressman from that State
who had voted for the salary grab
was asked to resign.
In the State of Georgia, there
were great gatherings of the plain
. folls, III Wilkes County. IN Putnam,
and IN Jackson. Speeches against
the salary grab were made and res
olutions adopted denouncing the
Congressman who voted for it.
What was the effect of this ex-
preston of the popular will:
Al the very next session of Con-
gress the Objectionable law was re
pealed.
, The great Henry Clay was one OF
hemen who voted for the salary
sgrab, and it was only by the skin OF
his teeth that he got reelected. II
It was during this canvass that thf

Mountains in Inyo county. Pratt had
been dead nearly two months. He
was evidently trying 10 reach the
mountains, where he knew he would
find food Of a sort and water in
abundance. but within sight OF his
refuge he gave out and could go m
further. Pratt was sixty years old
