How few citizens of Mullins
realize what great help The En-
terprise is to the town and commu-
nifty" is the opening paragraph of
an editorial in the Mullins Enter
prise on the value Of the local
paper to the town in which it is
published. There is no question
ing the fact that The Enterprise
has been and still is an important
factor in the development of Mul-
Inns. 1t stimulated an interes, in
the culture of tobacco in the vicin-
ity of Mullins and it was through
the columns of The Enterprise that
the world found out that Mullins
was the largest tobacco market in
South Carolina. 1t has been a
potent factor in the industrial de-
velopment of Mullins and while,
no doubt, other agencies furnished
the means to execute. the planning
was done through the columns of
The Enterprise. and the result has
been the establishment of a town
which is the JOY and pride of all
its citizens. In doing this The En-
terprise has only done its duty, but
after one has done their duty, can
they do more?

Washington, June misrepresentation
Humphrey, of Washington, introducer
of the ship subsidy bill, today spoke
in the House upon various forms of
combinations among foreign steamship
lines touching American ports, and re-
ferred to discriminatory rates charged
for sending American products abroad.
1T having come to the knowledge of
the executive officers of the Associated
Press that an employee in the Wash
ington office has been engaged under
salary by two steamship lines to fur
nish them with certain classes of infor-
nation, an investigation has been
made 1t has been disclosed that while
such employment did not at any time
involve any act on the part of the
employee which could In any way affect
the integrity of the service, not even
Interfere with his legitimate and prop
err work for the Associated Press, new
ertheless such employment Is so sub
ject to misconception as to seriously
impair his usefulness and his relation
to the Associated Press has in conse-
xuence ceased by the acceptance Of his
resignation.
This termination of his long, useful
and honorable service does not justify
any assumption that he has been con-
sciously guilty of any misconduct, nor
that in the work he has performed for
the steamship companies he had done
anything which one not connected with
the Associated Press might not have
done with perfect propriety."

Michigan, for long automobile ride
Yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Burrows Is
chairman of the Senate committee on
elections When he and the president
parted 1t was with the understanding
that the campaign publicity bill soon
would be called up.
Today the president secured the con-
sent of Senator Brandegce to temper

serve bill aside in order that the pub
icity bill might be given the right or
way as the unfinished business In the
Senate following the disposition of the

does not anticipate any serious trouble
in getting the bill through the House.
White House were inclined TO the view
that congress may adjourn some time
between Thursday and Saturday or this

Norris Withholds Resolution.
Representative Norris caused fine
young panic among republicans In the
House yesterday by allowing the story
to get in currency that he was loaded
with a resolution to declare the speak
ership vacant. The move has been ex-
pected at the close OF the session. and
Norris has been looked upon as the
man to make 1t. AS soon as 1t became
understood that 1t was coming, numer-
Gus republicans of all shades hurried TO
Norris to beg him not to do 1t. A num-
Der of these included republicans who
have been insurgents or near insur-
what way they would vote on such
motion, it would ruin them. II they
voted to unseat Cannon, the regulars at
home would knife them, IL they voted
against unseating him, the progressives
would kill them. The Iowa delegation
made especially plaintive appeals, be-
cause they pointed out they would be
expected to support Judge Smith for
speaker If they helped get rid OF Can
non, and the Iowa progressivss would
be just as mad at them for opening
the way for Smith, and then supporting
him, as they would be If the whole Iowa
crowd voted to keep Cannon in the
chair.
1t was a case of having no chance
whatever on either horn of the dilemma
and the Iowans were chiefly responsible
for keeping Norris from springing his
resolution. He wanted to do 1t, how
ever, and if he had not been convinced
finally that, in addition to making lot
of troubles 1t could not muster the
necessary votes, he would probably
have put 1t in
