Senator Bristow said action would
be had on his resolution. He said,
too that there would be quite a little
discussion on tire subject, II proba-
bly, will be referred to committee.
Senator Bacon, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, says il

tine way"
Mr.. Bacon says he thought the reso-
luton was introduced to bring about
a discussion Of the course Of Mr.,
Bryan, and that remedial legislation
was not demanded
Many Senators, while not permit
ting themselves TO be quoted agreed
that Mr. Bryan had made grave
mistake. Mr. Townsend. of Michigan,
holds that the Secretary is doing that
which is denied to every subordinate
employee of the Government and de
nounced it as reprehensible.
Among those who talked were the
following:
Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts
A Cabinet member can live on $4,000
a year If he does not have large fam
lily expenses, and he can live com
fortably and respectfully.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania
Samuel j. Randall, one Of the great
est of Democrats, served this country
for a whole generation, living on a
salary of $4,000 a year. l have always
disapproved of the custom that has
grown up resulting in the very con
siderable neglect OF official duties on
the part Of public men in order tina,

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina
While Mr.. Bryan's speaking tours
will serve a good purpos I'm that he
always preached true Democracy and
patriotism and Christian living. he
can never again appear as a knight
errant of Democracy.
Representative Willis, of Ohio-I am

Mr.. Bryan is giving this country a
remarkable exhibition in the differ

the past seventeen years and his
present practices.

Reception For
Mrs. w. w. CoIf0n

A beautiful event of Friday after
ternoon was the reception which Mrs.
F. M. Farr gave in honor of Mrs.
Walter Wadsworth Cotton, an at
tractive October bride, who is being
so graciously received in her new
home.
The lovely Farr home was deco
rated throughout with exquisite yell
low chrysanthemums and autumn
leaves. The drawing room where the
guests were received was banked
with palms and growing plants and
great clusters of yellow chrysthe-
NUNS.
Mrs. Cotton wore her wedding
gown of soft white crepe de chine
and shadow lace and was enhanced
by Gainsborough of white velvet.
Mrs. Farr, the hostess, was gowned
in sunburst yellow crepe de chine,
veiled with lace, the high girdle hav-
ing tracery of embroidery in pearls.
Assisting in entertaining the guests
were a bevy of handsomely gowned
young women.
In the dining room a tall vase of
yellow chrysanthemums, fringed with
autumn leaves formed the centre of
the beautifully appointed table and
the walls were hidden beneath dec
grafton of autumn leaves and guam
titles of graceful bamboo.
A salad course followed by coffee
and stuffed dates was served.

to ignore the fact that two political

justice they could deny that the sun

to that wing of the Democratic party
of this State which believes in rep

State and national constitutions, and
am opposed to boss rule as exem-
plified by Huerta in Mexico and var
ious bosses in this and other States.

the office of governor on my record.
believe that the executive, legisla-
tive and judicial departments of our
government are supreme in their re-
spective spheres. The authority of
'ne should not be encroached upon
by that of another.
There are numerous minor re-
forms that I might mention, but this
in brief outlines the principles upon
which shall ask the support of MY
party as candidate for governor in
the Democratic primary in 1914

in the general election. No man
should be allowed to participate in
the naming of a State and county
ticket as a Democrat and then sup
port some other party in the general
election for president and vice pres
ident, as was done in 1912 by certain
alleged members of the Progressive
lrty.
"Second. / believe in the thorough
reform of our financial system. If
properly regulated, the personal
property tax can and should be elm
mated. Under our present system, d
citizen can not hide his household and
kitchen furniture, his live stock if a
farmer, his stock of goods if mer-
chant, but he can and very frequent
ly does hide his personal property if
it is principally invested in mort
cages, stocks, bonds and the like.
This tax should be tax on income
and thus you will reach those most
able to pay and those who receive
the greatest protection from govern
ment
Third. l shall advocate a thor
ough reform of our school system
The constitutional school tax should
be made a State fund instead of a
county fund. Thus the richer coun-
ties would aid the poorer counties,
and all the children of our State
would receive equal benefit. Each
school district should, as at present,
be allowed to supplement this State
fund by local levies for their indt-
vidual benefit. The State, however,
should guarantee that each school
run certain period and if the pres
ent constitutional school tax does not
raise sufficient revenue for this pur-
pose, the State levy should be in
creased.
Fourth. l believe in a thorough
reform and simplifcation of our Judi
cial procedure, whereby justice may
be obtained in a reasonable length of
time. | am sure that the present con-
gestion of our dockets could be re-
leved, were there commission of
three, whose decisions would be final
as regards all damage suits. This
would be hard on few lawyers, but
it would benefit greatly the poor en-

corporations, provided the decisions

According to the following special
dispatch to the News and Courier
from Washington, seven and a half
pound potato is the largest ever rails
ed in the Palmetto State. Following
is the dispatch:
president Wilson today received
by. parcel post a 1 1-2 pound sweet
potato from J. H. Riley, of Buffalo,
S. c., with the explanation that it
was the largest member of it's fam
lily ever raised in the Palmetto State.
Some weeks ago a nine-pound yam
was presented to the executive by a
citizen of North Carolina. The White
House cook is almost hysterical with
glee."
But Mr.. Riley's achievement, while
fine, must take second place. There
is on exhibition at the Spartanburg
County fair potato, raised by DR..
Jesse f. Cleveland, that weighs ten
pounds. 1t is whopper.-Spartan-
