Keep Busy at the Capitol.

Vigilance must not be relaxed for a
moment in the District fight for
square deal in Congress. 1t is gratify-
ing. of course, to observe a growing
sentiment in the House OF Representa-
tives against piecemeal legislation cal
culated to kill by inches the organic
act of 1873 and the half-and-half prin-
ciple. True, Representative Underwood,
the majority leader, has reiterated his
opposition to destroying the pres
ent system without providing sub
stitute, which shall be the result of a
searching investigation and careful de-
liberation; but it must be remembered
that hostile legislation has been put
through the House with the greatest
ease since he announced these same
views last December.
Mr.. Underwood is opposed to the
Johnson-Prouty amendment to the
George bill, but his time is fully oc-
cupied with other matters and it is,
not reasonable to expect him TO be con-
stantly on guard in the Districts be-
half. No opportunity to win a friend
among the members of the House, who
have not hitherto been interested in Dis
trict affairs must be lost. A great
change has been wrought in the past
few weeks and Washington's interests
have won a respectable representation
on the floor, sufficient, at least, to pre-
vent the enactment of legislation by de-
fault, without even roll call. But the
ranks of the Districts friends must be
strengthened daily. 1t must be remem-
bered, too, that this is District day in
the House. DR.. Wiley's committee of
one hundred should be alert today and
on every District day throughout the
session.
A new danger may arise at any time.
For instance, Representative Prouty,
weakened in his position and scenting
possible defeat for his amendment to
the George bill, announces that he will
try to attach another amendment to the
bill providing for commission to in
vestigate the relations of the District
and Federal governments, the commits
sion to be composed exclusively of men,
bers of the House and Senate. Mani
fcstly it would not be fair to deny the
District representation on the commits
sion. if it should be decided that one is
necessary or desirable, so Mr.. Prouty's
latest project must be closely watched.
Above all, the fact must be borne in
mind that the wise action of the Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations in
killing section and the Borland amend
ment and restoring important items to
the District bill, is yet to be sustained
in both Houses and in conference.

The great danger of kidney trou-

farce. He favored protective meas
ures along this line that will protect
our game and fish. He was not op-
posed to appropriating money to
public institutions, but thought pub
lie funds should be more wisely and
judiciously spent. He was in favor
of rural policemen and better sys-
tenn of taxation.
The two candidates for the State
Senate were the last of the ora
tors to be heard. and while it was
noticeable that the crowd had be-
come little restless, they all re-
mained quiet and respectful. The
first of these to speak was the
present incumbent.
&c EPPS.
Mr. Epps said that conditions
which existed four years ago invited
him into public life, but he did not
yield until after other capable men
had been solicited and declined. He
spoke of the deep personal interest
and pride he feels in the county's
progress and her splendid citizen
ship. He said he had been Sem
ator from Williamsburg county and
not from Kingstree and had worked
for what he thought were the best
interests of the whole county. He
fought the compulsory education
bill because he did not believe the
people wanted it. He was in favor
of education and was ready to give
his support to any measure that
would, in the opinion of his consti-
tuents, improve the educational ad-
vantage of the county. He felt
that he was in a better position to
serve his people in the Senate cham
Der than ever before. Had no per-
sonal motives to crafty, and if he
should be reelected he would al
ways look faithfully after the inter-
ests of the people of Williamsburg
county and that he was under no
obligation to any class or faction.
HUGH McCUTCHEN.
Mr. McCutchen thought the audi
ence was tired and promised not to
detain them much longer. He said
that Chairman Davis had not stated
all the facts in introducing him, in
asmuch as he had failed to state
that Il will be your next Senator.
He told of his boyhood days in the
vicinity and pleasant recollections of
the community. He said that IA
years ago Epps and himself and sew
eral others started out for the place
Britton holds. Epps dropped out,
but he remained in the race and
was beat out-which cured him of
sucking eggs for IA years. Friends
had solicited him to enter this race,
he said, "and if you zee fit to send
me to Columbia, I'll do my part
He was interested in the county's
prosperity, was president of four of
the leading concerns in Kingstree
and each one was far from failure.
He closed by telling a good joke on
an old negro preacher.

Mr. P H Stoll made a short speech
and the first meeting OF the 1914
campaign closed in peace, good Will
harmony. w

morrow.

FIR HEMINGWAY.
Mr. Hemingway said believed in
education and stood for good schools;
didn't want to see money wasted
and believed in liberal support of
public institutions. Did not think
we need Statewide compulsory ed;
ucation law, but favored it in local
option form. He favored good roads
and the law providing for rural po-
licemen. He was in favor of better
laws for the working man and a
more liberal pension to the old SOL
diers. Did not believe in false econ
omy, but full benefit should be had
for all money spent. He advocated
a tax reform and equalization that
will make the large property-holder
pay in proportion to the small one.
In concluding his remarks. Mr. Hem
ingway said he stood for law and
order, that we cannot afford to stay
the progress of civilization by disre-
garding law, and upon those princi-
pies he asked the support of the
people at the polls August 25.
HA KENNEDY.
Mr. Kennedy said he was no speak
er but had come from the plow and
as a poor, honest farm boy was there
to appeal to the farmers from the
depth of his heart. He believed
they had been tramped on long
enough and asked them to cast
their votes for man who would
stand by them in the Legislative
halls.
R J KIRK.
Mr. Kirk thanked the people of
Johnsonville for the splendid vote
given him there two years ago and
made it known that he felt at home
in their midst. He told of measures
he had been instrumental in placing
upon the statute books that were
beneficial to the people of the coun-
ty, and promised, if re-elected,to do
his utmost towards the passage of a
6 per cent interest law. In regard
to compulsory education, Mr. Kirk
said he stood now just where he
stood in the Legislature during its
last session. He was in favor of
compulsory education in local option
form but would not advocate a COM
pulsory education bill such as Mr.
