CONNECTS GIVEN \ FEAST
JEFFERSONVlLLE, IND., SHOWS APPRECIATION OF SERVICES.
Prisoners Thank Citizens for Their Treatment and Promise Better
 Future Behavior.

Jeffersonville, Ind, April 22.-The most literally provisioned banquet ever erved in this city, the chief feature of an event at the-Indiana re- formatory here, is believed to have been unique in American prison his tory.
 The banquet was arranged by pro gram committee representing the citi- zens of Jeffersonville who asked per mission of Superintendent Peyton for an opportunity to thank the inmates for their efficient aid in repairing the levees when the break occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad embank- ment during the flood Is is generally conceded that the work of the con victs saved the city from disastrous thrush of water.
 Prof. Rufus Bernard von Kleinsmid, assistant superintendent, presided and stated the reason for the visit of the 70 residents of Jeffersonville, who had seats on the platform. After several musical numbers, former Mayor Burtt voiced the thanks or the citizens and read a resolution adopted at a mass

ATTACK ON SIMS TAKEN UP
Washington Banker in Danger of Be- ing Punished for Contempt of
 House-lnvestigato Named.

Washington, April 22.-Formal no- tice will be taken In the house of the attack upon Representative Sims of Tennessee by Charles C.. Glover, a Washington bank president.
 A dozen members of congress, in cluding several members of the Ten nessee delegation, conferred at the capitol and determined that an attack upon member on account of an ut terance on the floor of the house was too grave to go unnoticed.
 Representative Garrett and Hous- ton of Tennessee were appointed a committee to draft a resolution when the house convenes.
 It is proposed to have the resolu- tion provide for an investigation by a committee of five to ascertain wheth- CT the facts warrant the arrest of MT. Glover on a charge of contempt of the house

come will have no vital effect on the result of the vote. The Democrats have approximately 150 majority in the house. The bill is a party meas ure. It could be passed tomorrow so far as the required number of votes is concerned But party policy and parliamentary custom demand that a large number of statesmen be given opportunity to air their views and opinions. While some of the speeches by leaders will be Illuminating in thought, sound in reasoning and na- tional in scope, most of them will be exclusively for home consumptioM that is, congresmen from every sec tion of the country will pour out un- counted millions of words designed for party and personal effect in local districts.
 May 15 is now set as the approxi- mate date for taking the vote. Thir- teen Democratic members have been released from the party pledge of sup port adopted in caucus, because of the demands of their protected local industries These are Br0ussard, Du- pre-, Lazaro and Morgan of Louisiana, on account of sugar; Ashbrook, Witte and Francis of Ohio, on account of wool; Bremner and Kinkead of New Jersey, cattle; Donovan and Kennedy, Connecticut, hats; Burke.

meeting. MaJ. Peyton responded. A letter from Gov. Ralston, who had ac- cepted an invitation to be present, but was detained, was read, in which he praised the conduct of the men.
 Then Jerome Council, an inmate, was introduced and delivered a lively speech. Lynden West, another in- mate read resolutions signed by 996 inmates. The paper was 21 feet long. The resolution thanked the people of Jeffersonville for the excellent treat ment accorded to the men while at liberty for flood work and promised future behavior that would merit such treatment always.
 A chicken dinner, cooked outside the prison, was served in the dining room, but the menu item that most attracted the prisoners was a liberal allowance of homemade cake, sent by women whose homes would have been flooded except for the services of these men. There was about one third of cake for each man and he was permitted to take to his cell what he did not eat at the table More than 100 gallons of ice cream was served, most of the men making dessert off that and saving the cake.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS BELIEVE STATE CAN HANDLE CASE
 WITHOUT FEDERAL AID.
HOLDING LAND A PRIVILEGE
California Would Merely Follow Pre- cedents Established in Other States and Settle Problem
 Once for All Time.

Washington, April 22.-Secretary Bryan of the state department thinks that the final solution of the Japanese question will be along the line sug- gested by him to Gov. Johnson. He has received a telegram from Gov. Johnson acknowledging his wire, and said that the telegram contained in formation about the California bills, which he is not at liberty to disclose.
 "The people of California desire said Representative John F. Raker. "The Japanese own large blocks of land and the price of surrounding land goes down, forS the whites do not want to live with or near them. This matter will be settled satisfactorily. Legislation with reference to the hold ing of land by aliens will be enacted, if my information from the state is correct. The white citizens of Cali fornia are bent on having some sort of an end to the question that keeps bobbing up to stir up trouble"
 "The Japanese have strong desire and disposition to acquire land. said Representative w. D. Stephens of Cal ifornia Tn the Sacramento valley there are some of the richest lands in the world. Naturally, the California people do not want to see these lands pass into the hands of foreigners. The | Japanese, on the other hand, are eager to get them"
 Representativ, J. l. Nolan of Cali 1 fornia said that the people of Cali | fornia are able to handle the Japanese question and would do so without passing any bill in violation of the | federal constitution. Nolan favors the anti-alien bill.
 | Representative William Kent of California made the following state ment: Permission 1to hold land is not a right, but a privilege. Admis- sion to the country is upon an invita- l tion, just as to a private house. Per mission to vote is sharing of sove- reignty. Should foreign governments demand these privileges they thereby | deny our right to manage our own | internal affairs.
 Says No Alien Need Apply"
 "The federal domain is disposed of in the interests of the citizenship, of homemaking and democracy. No alien need apply Many states have passed anti-alien land laws without foreign complaint or federal interference. For the disposition of lands that have l passed under the sovereignty of the states, they should assume full re sponsiblity Within certain well-de- , fined limits, the states may regulate the qualifications for citizenship.
 "To me it seems obvious that Cali fornia possesses the right and the duty to regulate land tenure. that Cal ifornia, knowing its own problems best, should pass the anti-alien land bill which our people desire, and thereby save its future as a demo crtic community from complications that would forever be provocative or friction and strife"

Views of the Minority.

With introduction of the bill, views n, the minority attacking the meas ure were presented to the house by pepresentative Payne and his Repub- lican colleagues of the ways and means committee. They maintained that the bill was uncalled for, that its uroyisions have already alarmed the country and that, should it pass, it would bring down the wages to the level in foreign countries. The majority report by Representa- tive Underwood will perhaps be made to the house today.
 President Wilson told callers he be- leved the low rates of the tariff bill justified, even though not permitting of many further cuts for reciprocity agreements.
 The president told his visitors the primary consideration was the advan- tage of the consumer and not neces- sarily the retention of tactical advan- tages for future negotiations of reef procity treaties.

We do not know of a physician

true that he resides Is miles from

biles, either Of which can take him

the small car in his practice and
Mrs. Self Jays claim to the touring
car. They have very reliable ne
gro man of mechanical turn who
drives their car. DR.. and Mrs.
Self have beautiful home ON the
Martin Town road which is but a
stones throw from the home of
Mrs. Callie Self, DR.. Self's mother.
Their only daughter, Callie, is at
tending Lander college at Green
wood. Az she comes down practi-
cally every Sunday in an automo-
bile and returns Monday morning,
she is not missed from the home
circle as she would be if she were
attending college 100 or more miles
away. Then too they have tele-
phone connection with Greenwood
and can call up Lander college at
any time. Mrs. Self is great low.

Something to Sell Entire Year.

The chief reason why money has
been tight" in this section for the
past six months or longer is because
the one crop system Of farming is
adhered to too closely. Cotton is
practically the only mone7 crop
that is produced in Edgeield coun.
ty. Occasionally one sees potatoes
or small lots of home.raised corn
offered for sale. But such instances
are rare. When the source from
which actual cash is obtained ia con-
fined to one crop and that crop fails
either in yield or in price, there
mus, necessarily follow financial
depression.
If the farms were diversified, Civ
ing more attention to stock raising,
poultry, fruit growing and truck,
cash money would be put in eircula-
ton to some ex ent every month in
the year, instead of being confined
to the tall months, the time when
the bulk of the cotton crop is mar
keted. We would like to see q
farmer bring something to town to
sell every time he comes to buy
some article sof merchandise. The
Advertiser heartily agrees with the
Farm and Ranch in the following:
1T is just as honorable and just
as important that you s=ll on the
streets cabbage, eggs, butter. milk
and fruits, articles that you have
produced, as it is for merchants TO
sell nails, soap and lye, things that
they did not produce. Both are
honorable and there is no use Of
false modesty in selling what we
produce. %

Pear and Apple Blight.

Can you give me a remedy for
blight in pear and apple trees?
There is no remedy or preventive
known. The only thing To do is to
cut out the blighted wood into
sound wood and burn it. The
bacteria that cause the fire blight
get entrance on the feet of bees and
other insects at blossoms and
they grow dow 4 in the cam
blum layer and c. oke the growth.
II you watch the trees closely IN
the early summer, you can detect
the first start of the hight by the
shriveling Of the young bark on the
shoots before the leaves turn dead,
and it you then cut out ahead OF
it you can save TIE limb. But ster-
ilize the knife blade at every cut by
dipping it in weak solution of
carbolic acid to prevent carrying
