Mr.. Aiken's "Obituary."

MIR. Evans and Mr.. Horton have no
political record. Mr.. Aiken is sup
posed to have one as he mas been IN
congress for Il years, but upon inves-
4igation it viii be found that he has
a very small record. II discussing
Mr.. Aiken and his record, it might be
well first to use his own words in
what is known as his obituary"
Wnicn is published in the Congress
sional Record. He says in that, which
ne claims to have written with his
own hand, that he is a Democrat, was
born 81 years ago in Abbeyille county
and was reared on farm in Abbeville
county. That he received a common
school education at Cokesbury and at
Washington while there with mis- faith
er, Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, representa-
tive from this district for 10 years;
was official court stenographer in
South Carolina for 19 years; has been
a farmer all his life and has always
taken a keen interest in everything
pertaining to agriculture. Now that
is what Mr.. Wyatt Aiken says about
himself They are not my words but
his. How in the name Of comon sense
can man have the nerve and audac-
ity to say that he has been farmer
all his iife'' when he admits in the
same breath that ne has been holding
Office for a period of 81 years, ever
since his 10th birthday
Over 100000 from Public Treasury.
1t is all right for man to hold
offce-it is all right for man to be
kept in Office provided he delivers the
goods, but what do We lind about
Mr.. Aiken? During his II years in
congress he has and will receive a
salary of $SO,O00.0O; he will have re-
ceived in mileage S2,640O0, making a
total of $S2,640.00. He was official
court ste9ographer for 10 years and
received as a salary in addition to his
tees for transcripts, S1,200.00 per an
mum, which amounts to $22,S00.00, max
ing a total of $1O5, $4,000 that Mr..
Wyatt Aiken has received from the
Federal treasury and the State treas
ury in the past 81 years, and that, my
fellow citizens, is pot including the
amount he received as an officer in
the Spanish-American War in 1898.
This, if you will figure up, will show
that he has been drawing since ne was
a 20 year old boy an average Of s3,-
10000 per year, and yet Mr.. Aiken
says Il have been a farmer all my
life" Now, what is the record there?
Has he rendered any adequate ser
vice for the enormous amounts ne has
received?

Serve"

Did Nothing for His Own Town.

What else did Mr.. Aiken do? He
was elected from the third congress
sional district to the house; he is from
Abbeville county; ne is from the town
of Abbeville, yet he served in con-
gress six years as congressman
from this district and did nothing for
mis- own town. You all know that up

A. C. Latimer your former congress
man, who was afterwards promoted to
the United States senate, that the

Vote Against President Wilson

Mr.. Aiken started of, at NeWberry
and devoted most of his time
to praise OF his own record
and to an explanation of his
vote against President W 4son on
the exemption from tolls of the Ameri-
can coastwise vessels. l shall not at
this time enter into a discussion Of
this matter or the merits Of the ques-
ton because to a certain extent it is
a matter that has been settled. Mr.,
Wilson, the president Of these United

gress and stated that this was ques-
ton that involved great deal in so
far as this country was concerned;

CHARACTER Of
EXPORTS Change

Washington, D. c., March 2S.-Ac
cOrding to a monograph just issued
by the Department of Commerce, the
exports Of the United States illustrate
very sharply the changing character
of our commerce and of the occupa
lions Of II people. Agricultural pro
ducts, which formed, in 1880. 84.3 pei
cent of the total domestic exports,
were, in 1913, 46.1 per cent of the to.
tai. Manufactures, exclusive. of food.
stuffs, which we're, in 1880, 14.78 per
cent of the exports, were, in 1913,
4S.8 per cent. The actual figures are:
Exports of agricultural products. In
1880, 684.3 million dollars and, in 1913
1,121.a million dollars and: exports
Of manufactures, in 1880, 1918 mil.
lion dollars and, in 1913, 1851 mil
lion, the increase in agricultural pro
ducts being 427 million dollars, and
that in exports Of manufactures con-
siderably more than ! billion dollars.
This transition of the United
States from an exporter Of natural
products to an exporter of manufac-
lures has been a steady movement
during the last third OF a century.
Crude fo0dstuffs which formed, in
1880, 3".2 per cent of the exports,
gradually diminished in their proper
ton, and were, in 1912, but 4.6 per
cent Of the total. In 1913, however,
their percentage was slightly larg.
er, 7.49 per cent, due to q large wheat
crop and unusually heavy exports Of
that article. FOodstuffs partly or
wholly manufactured show a less
rapid decline, especially during the
period from 1900 to 1900, when there
was but little change, the average
share which they formed of the total
exports being about Is per cent. In
the early part of the present century
however, the sudden decline in the
available supply of meats for expor-
tation reduced rapidly the share which
this group. f0odstuffs wholly or partly
manufactured, formed Of the total,
this share having fallen from 1926
per cent In 1902 to 1928 per cent in
1913. The share which crude mater
ials form Of the total exports has re-
manned practically stationary, having
been In 1880. 2S.98 per cent and in
1913, Boil per cent. In both manufac-
lures for further use in manufacture
ing and manufactures ready for con
sumption, the advance has been con.
tinuous. both in total value and in the
percentage which the respective
groups form of the total exports. The
share which manufactures for further
use in manufacturing. form Of the
grand total Of domestic exports was
in 1850. 1852 per cent and in 1913,
1888 per cent; and that Of finished
manufactures was, in 1880, 1925 per
cent and in 1913 3l.97 per cent.
The monograph, which is entitled
annual Review Of the Foreign Com.
merce Of the United States. 1913" is a
discussion Of the notable features OF
our import and export trade in the
fiscal year 1913 in comparison with
the trade of earlier years. Copies may
be obtained upon application to the
Department of Commerce.

How TO save
YOUR EYES
nv rhIa I'VE presentation.

Do your eyes give you trouble? Do
you already wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles? Thousands Of people wear
these Windows" who might easily
dispense with them. You may be
one Of these, and, It is your duty to
save your eyes before 1t is too late.
The eyes are neglected more than any
other organ Of the entire body. After
you finish your days work you sit
down and rest your muscles, but
how about your eyes? Do you rest
them? You know you do not. You
read or do something else that keeps
your eyes busy; you work your eyes
until YOU go to bed. That is why so
many have strained eyes and fin
ally other eye troubles that threat
en- partial or total blladness. Eye.
glasses are merely .crutches; they
never cure. This free prescription
which has benefited the eyes of so
many, may work equal wonders for
you. Use 1t q short time. Would you
like your eye troubles to disappear
as II by magic? Try this prescrip-
ton. Go to the nearest w%ideawake
drug store and get q bottle Of Diploma
tablets: fill a two-ounce bottle with
warm water. drop in one tablet and
allow it to thoroughly dissolve. With
this liquid battle the eyes two or four
times daily. Just note how quickly
your eyes clear up and how soon the
inflammation will disappear. Don't
be afraid to use it: 1t is absolutely
harmless. Many who are now blind
might have saved their eyes had
they started to care for them in time.
This is simple treatment, but mar.
velously effective In 'multitudes OF
cases. Now tha. you have been
warned don't delay a day, but do
what you can to ave your eyes and
you are likely to thank MS as long as
you live for publishing this pres
cription.-Adv.

1mAN6uLA1|ON
ON TEXAS | \, COAST

Washington, ID. C., March 2S.--The
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey. Department of Commerce. has
published as Special Publication No.
II. the results OF the triaagulation on
the coast OF Texas and Sabine Pass
to Corpus Christi Bay. The purpose
is to furnish to engineers and survey
ors the geographic positions Qatitudes
and l0ngitudes) of a large number OF
points determined by triangnlationi
and correlated to one ge0dtic datum
known as the North American Stand
art datum. which is now also in use
in Canada and Mexico.
The observations involved were be-
gun in Galveston Bay in 1850 and the
latest work was finished in 1912.
Owing to lapse Of time and other
causes many OF the original surface
and reference marks in this triangula-
ton have been obliterated. hut many
OF the underground marks placed at
the early stations can be recovered
by reference to other known points
in the scheme. New triangulation has
been necessary In some cases to re-
place and supplement the former
work. The triangulation by the U. :.
Army Engineers has been connected
with the work Of the Coast and Geode
tic Survey wherever available.
The triangulatiOn for Corpus Chris
ii Fay to Point Isabel, including the
positions of new stations established
will appear in another publication.
The present volume is one Of a SER
les which when completed will show
TIE results Of the triangulation BY The
and GeOlnt:c Survey in all )pis
OF the United States. These results.
are OF great practical value, as, he.
the primary object of affording
q basis for the charts of the coast,
they furnish 4 framework of accurate

Old Road to Capital Fast Be.
IOQ Closed; Section Line
Road Necessary
Two Routes From Emmons
County Town Have Already
Seen Suggested

Hazslton, N. D., March 2S.--For
years the trail between Bismarck
and HaZelton has led angling across
sections of land with no regard for
section lines, and the time Is fast APP
preaching when this old trail will be
entirely closed up by wire fence and
traffic will be forbidden. The ques-
ton new is for a road to Bismarck
which will follow section lines and
which will become a permanent high
way.
Durleigh will build a road this year
east from Bismarck to the east line
of. 'Burleigh county which will be
fixed up in the finest of condition
for automobile or team traffic, and an
agitation has been started here to
build a permanent thOrOughfare to
connect with this road.
Two routes out of HazeltOn are sug-
gcsted; one on the section line just
east Of town which would go straight
north, thence a mile west into Motif,
and the other is the range line n
mile west of town which is in q
straight line northward of Moffit.
Either of these routes would an
swer the purpose equally we'll, and
besides affording a good road to the
capital city would open up consider
able trade for Hazelton merchants
which nov goes to Motif. Many liy-
ing in the north end of the county
now so to Moffit to do their trading
for no other reason than that the
roads are poor or crssed .by numerous
pasture gates-and in some instances
there are no roads at all. The nav
road should be opened IN and put
in the best possible shape for auto.
mobiles and other traffic as soon as
possible and thus do away with thu
necessity of opening numerous gat:
es and travelling unl<ept trails which
are not public thoroughfares. The
several civil townships along the
route, we believe. will be more THAI
willing to do their part Of the work.
