Baltimore. Nd, Jan. I1.-That newly
elected members of Congress are going
10 speak right out in meeting and prob
ably cause a small-siZed row at the Dem
ocratic caucus in Washington Thursday
became known here to-day. While the
party leaders were all talking harmony,
this discordant note crept in and set the
older heads thinking
The new members especially those from
the Eastern States, want fair recognition
in the committee assignments. To this
end they are going to have a set-togethcr
meeting tomorrow and will formulate
plans that will direct their actions in the
caucus.
Represe John Alden Thayer
"f Massachusetts,. is champoning the new
members cause. Mr. Thayer comes from
thickly populated manufacturing dis
trict which has just been rescued from
what seemed hopeless Republican ma
inrity. He has sent 10 all the Eastern
newcomers in the House d personal letter
telling just how he stands and what
he thinks his new colleagues ought to
stand for.
Oppose. Old Rule.
Mr.. Thayer in his letter says that the
adhered to. He argues that. if the new
Democratic members had not been elected
there would be no Democratic ma jority.
The new members represent great eX-
panse of territory and millions of people.
We don't want everything. he says:
but In view of these circumstances |
believe new members should receive
proper recognition.
Newly elected members at the mass
reeunE and banquet here to-day and
tonight concur with Mr. ThaYer in most
OF his views. They figure that it is all right
enough for Southern Democrats to talk
about seniority when they come from a
country where it is almost impossible to
he defeated. On the other hand. they
say man who has fought for years and
has finally won his district to Democracy
should not be slghted just because he
has been some years in claiming VIC
tory.
Want No "ApprenticeshiP."
When the newcomers got together and
compared notes to-day. the feeling that
they should not BE- put TO serve what
they call an apprenticeship became
more pronounced. 1t is an open secret
now that Representative-eIect Thayer
will bring up this issue at the caucus
and will be strongly backed by his COL
leagues.
Another bit of gossip emanatinE from
the New England Democrats vas that
McGillicuddy. of Maine. will not be
candidate for a position the Ways
and Means Committee. Peters, of Mas
sachusetts who was the only other possi-
bic nominee 20 represent New England.
will be named and McGilicuddy will not
be nominated in the caucus.

Acting Census Director Falkner
has transmitted to Secretary Nagel
of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, q bulletin of unusual
importance pertaining to cotton
production in the United States.
An excerpt from the bulletin says:

1910, the most valuable ever pro.
duced in the United States, is
1858, $50, 900, compared with 1912,

Extra precaution should be TAX
en- during the extraordinary dry
spell which is at present upon US
and every resident of our city is
requested to use the utmost care
in handling explosive and inflam-
able materials, burning paper,
rubbish or any other refuse. Only
q few days ago, a heap of rubbish
was being burned back of the
Hartwick store when it was sud-
denly caught in a gust of wind and
spread to a pile of kindling near
by, but by prompt action it was
put out before the department was
called out or an alarm given. Had
the fire gained much headway the
entire block would have been
threatened if not the whole town.
The time is here when a great
many. gasoline stoves are in use
daily and a little carelessness in
handling them has often caused a
loss of property and life. Although
it has been said a good many times
we repeat it again, never fill a
gasoline stove without turning the
burner out, and always look be-
fore lighting it to see if there is
any leakage" Although the water.
works system is completed, the
hose and carts have not yet arriv-
ed, and in case of fire, it would be
of little value to check the flames
once they had good start. Too
much care cannot be exercised by
the people of this city in handling
fire of whatsoever nature.

Will Serve In Sing Sing

William H. McNutt, aged 56,
who now will have to serve two
and one-half years in Sing Sing
prison because of decision rend-
cred a few days ago by the state
supreme court of the Empire state,
affirming the action of the lower
court, was formerly a resident of
South Dakota, and is we'll remem-
bered by many of the residents Of
Sully and adjoining counties,
where he resided for some time.
He was originally arrested in New
York about six years ago on the
charge of selling wothless mining
stocks, and is the man who while
in prison invented and perfected q
non-explosive gasoline tank which
has since netted him fortune.
McNutt is one of several broth
ers who resided on farm near
Okoboji, Sully county, some years
ago. He was at Que time a tele-
graph operator at Fort Sully, and
some time after leaving South Da-
kota got into trouble for tapping
wires at New Orleans. One of
his brothers was sent to the Sioux
Falls penitentiary several years
ago for horse stealing, committed
in Sully county.

Open Letter to all Concerned


The deplorable state of present
crop outlook has given rise to
many conjectures as to the future
of our country. 1t seems to us and
others that the immediate future
of our homesteaders is dependable
upon crops alone, with such the
future wouid~be assured.
1t may not occur to our governor
or our Legislative body what
famine we are likely to face before
another spring makes it's appear
ance. Therefore the opportune
time may be right new to issue
some proclamation of encourage
ment. Governor Vessey may have
been right at the National Irriga-
ton congress when he said our
state needed one million more far
mers. But those who have farmed
according to experiment station
instructions for five or more years
with perhaps not even a feed and
seed result, have not the courage
nor conviction to substantiate this
assertion at present. The average
homesteader is not man of means,
consequently progress is very slow
and crop results very small and
seed supply limited to two seedlings
at the maximum, so the govern
ment may have to assist the home-
steaders if it wants to keep them
on their homesteads. Therefore
you readers who have the power
of influence with those who can
alleviate the suffering of our far
mers by governmental aid, use that
influence speedily to prevent acts
of dependency which are apt to
overtake some before winter is
over. 1t is said the world owes
US . living and upon it's own
grounds too, but if it does not pro-
vide one this year, are we going to
waltz E. L. X.

SINGLE MEN WIN BALL GAME
Friday Game Between Married
and Single Men Results in
Score of 8 to II.

The base ball game at the fair
grounds last Friday afternoon be-
tween the married and single men,
resulted in a score of 9 to II, in
favor of the latter. Quite a crowd
was out to see the game and con-
siderable enthusiasm was manifest
ed by the grandstand and bleach
ers. In the first few innings it
looked as though the teams we're
pretty evenly matched, but with
Arens in the box for the single
men, the old timers and has-beens
failed to connect with the ball and
after making three ferocious but
futile swings at the horsehide, re-
tired to the bench amid the sting
ing criticism of the rooters. With
the score in the last half three to
eleven, the benedicts made grand
rally and six of them numbered
across the plate before the oppos-
ing forces could stop the slaughter,
but the odds were too great to be
overcome, and the final score show
ed the single men the victors.
The feature of the game was the
fast work of Anderson Michael,
who did the receiving for the
married men, mike" showing
them that he knew some of the
rudiments of the game and the
way he went after some of the
fowls would put . professional
chicken thief to shame. The stellar
work of the outtield was also most
commendable, not an error being
made by Earl Roush in the left
garden (he didn't have any chanc-
esq and the other two tielders made
an unbroken record by dropping
everything that came their way.
But the second baseman was the
candy kid with the calico pants,
and his clever antics and manuev-
erings around the second station
entitled him to the BOBBY prize
without q close second.
The stone wall line up of the
married men was as follows: An
derson Michael, catch: r. M. Dur
kee, pitch; r. A. Bielski, first;
Chas. Gillen, second; Lou Carr,
short: Jap" Durkee, third; Earl
Roush, left; r. l.. Moody, center;
P. j. Gallagher, right. The single
mems line up: Earl Dorothy,
catch; Frank Arens, pitch; Frank
Urton, first; Oscar Hargesheimer,
second; Joe Kurka, short; L. B.
Roberts, third; Paul High, right;
G. A. Bennett, center; Alfred Stor-
mo, left.
L. A. Kelley and Jack Mayer
acted in the official capacity of
umpires.
Another game will be arranged
in the near future and all profes-
sionals and semi-professionals will
get the can. L. B. Hartwick is

Attention Teachers.

l should like to direct the attention
OF the teachers OF Clarendon county to
the splendid Teachers Manuel for the
Elementary Schools OF South Carolina
recently prepared by Prof. w. K. Tate
OF the University OF South Carolina. It
is an Illuminating book, sound in peda-
gogic principles, and full to the brim of
helpful suggestions to teachers in every
grade Of public school work. 1t is vital
and vivid and modern in its presenta-
ton of the various subjects that RE
taught in the elementarg grades. II
the teachers will read aud re-read and
,igest the contents of this book it will
soon bring about marked advance in
the educational progress OF our county.
That part of the Manual ", CD deals
with reading in the schools should at
once command our earnest considera-
tion. We, as teachers, recognize the
fact that few of our pupils read inte!li-
gently and attractively. 1t is our duty
to seek for the cause of this glaring de-
feet and to remove it. as soon as posi-
BILE. All of the other subjects treated
of in this book should be taken up and
studied delligently without delay

Two VISITING Cards,

Visiting cards differ In style accord
ing to latitude, and as an example q
Paris contemporary recalls an incident
in 1874 when NJ. de Lagrene was sent
under Louis Philippe as minister ex-
traordinary to China. The courtesy Of
the ambassador greatly impressed the
Chinese statesmen, particularly their
"doyen." When the negotiations had
been completed and NJ. de Lagrene was
ready to embark a delegation brought
him a great roll Of paper. The ambas.
sador seeing this parcel at once thought
this was 4 present, knowing Chinese
methods, but to his surprise they start
ed to unroll the cylinder, which extend
ed to about fifty meters Of paper, over
G62 feet. Then he learned that it was
the visiting card Of the "doyen.'' In
returning his modest little bristol
board the Inundated ambassador add
ed a few words, which read, THE au-
bassador Of France regrets that be is
able to offer only these simple words
to your excellency."

Tho Secret Blotter.

Every foreign solite CT Europe acts
on the theory that an army Of spies is
constantly on the alert to steal its
secrets. and infinite precautions are
taken to battle their efforts. Very
shortly after the first use Of blotting
paper it was discovered that it was
quite possible to cause blotting pad
to give up jealousy guarded secrets
by simply holding it in front Of mir
ror. Long after all the commercial
world had forgotten the existence Of
such thing the British foreign Office
used sand shaker to dry its impor-
tant written documents. Then spe-
cially manufactured black blotting pa
per was used, but this was not found
to be absolutely spy proof, and re-
turn to the sand shaker was contem-
plated when some one suggested the
simple expedient Of q small absorbent
roller. These rollers have since been
used for drying diplomatic documents.
When such a roller has been run up
and down and across document once
or twice the cieverest spy in the world
is at liberty to try his hand at de-
ciphering the impressions.

be something in it. He began to argue

held the room in awe. If he did not
