AIKEN'S EFFORT
EXCITES JAMES
Several Sessions of Ways and Means
Committee May be Required to
Settle Dispute.

Washington, May Ex-senator Ollie
James of Kentucky, who was mem
Der of the house in the sixty-second
congress when Representative Aiken
of South Carolina is said to have given
way to Representative Johnson of
Kentucky as chairman of the Dis
trict of Columbia committee, today
took issue with the South Carolinian
concerning the question Of whether
the latter could have had the chair
manship of the committee.
'It was commonly understood in
the ways and means cmmittee that
Mr.. Aiken did not seek the chairman
ship because he had not BEEN reg
ular attendant on the committee
hearings, was not familiar with the
work and did not feel competent to
serve. 1t was also commonly I'M
derstod that he did not desire to
stand in the way of Mr.. Johnson"
said Mr.. James.
Mr.. James was informed that, with
his protest, Mr.. Aiken had submitted
a letter signed by members of the
ways and means committee of the
sixty-second house, Mr.. James among
them, to the effect that Mr.. Aiken did
not seek the Craftsmanship.
'Mr. Aiken came TO me some time
ago and said his political opponents
had been charging that he was shelV-
ed from the district Craftsmanship
against his will" said the senator.
'He showed me a letter signed by
the other members relating that Mr..
Aiken was not candidate for the
craftsmanship. I signed it also.
There was nothing in it that saw
about any deal with Johnson nor
was there any deal that 1 ever heard
Of"
There seems to be a considerable
difference of opinion here concerning
the issues in the matter and it is prob
able. that it will take a long execu-
tive session of the ways and means
committee, possibly several of them,
to settle it and to determine whether
Mr.. Aiken should now have the chair
because of his action two
years ago.

When, as happened in Atlanta on
Thursday, a six-year-old child plays
with rifle and received a mortal
wound, conflicting emotions are
aroused. Sorrow for the young life
thus brought pitifully to an end, strug-

there are still people in the world who
permit their children to play with
deadly weapons.

A most excellent plan for the new
presbytery arrangement would be to
take in Greenville, Laurens and New
berry counties into one presbytery'
Spartanburg, Union and Cherokee,
into another. So that the presbytery
of Enoree would be divided into the
two presbyteries of Enoree and Salu-
da. 1t is a very natural plan both
by the laws governing the streams
and the railways. South Carolina
presbytery would then have only
Greenville and AbbeVille.

Works Good All Around.
Florence Times.

Florence Times.
When the merchants agree to a
closing of the stores at 6 o'clock the
movement is for the good of busi-
ness in the city and all ought to
stand by the agreement. Those who
have large clientage to an hour earlier
for closing had worked no hardship
on their customers and it certainly
is good for the merchants and the
clerks. We all know that the sum-
mer business of the stores can be
largely condensed, if the people just
get in the habit of it. 1t is better
to have shorter hours more filled
with work than long hours drawn
out in a tiresome waiting. The mod
ern conveniences for trade leave no
excuse for belated trade, and time
with a. community is an asset and it
ought to be used for community
good when it is not necessary for the
work of the individual. The people
of Florence, the trading public,
ought to lend their aid to the carry
ing out of the plan. We will all get
caught ouce or twice before we get
caught a. Ri. .iMa-cl
ourselves in the habit of doing our
business before o'clock, but lit
tie inconvenience in getting in the
habit of doing things in the right
way ought not to count against the
plan. Lend your aid to the mer-
chants who are trying to carry this
plan through, and we assure you
that the community will prosper
and get it's reward.
