MEASURES TO DIE IN CONGRESS
Poor Show for Philippine and conser-
walton Bills to Pass.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Congress set
out on a six-day ace Monday with the
waiting array of appropriation bills.
The senate must dispose of the big
supply measures at the rate of nearly
800, 000, 900 a day, if, according to
agreement among the leaders, it is 20
bring the hard-fought administration
ship bill from the conference closet on
February 81 to debate it until noon, on
March 4.
Partly because of this congestion
the death of some big measures at this
congress seems certain. Among them
are the bill to give a greater measure
of self-government and promise indie
pendence to the Philippine islands and
the conservation bills, which have
been much pressed, to unlock the re.
sources of the west for development.
In the house the crush of the appro'
priation bills is over and that body can
work without pressure.
The plans for the ship bill in the
senate are more or less mysterious
Leaders on both sides agreed to put il
into conference until next Saturday
with the understanding hat the supply
bills should be passed meantime. Its
opponents declare, it is said, that if il
is not they still have the means OF
talking it to death. That the confer
ence could make the bill acceptable to
administration democrats, the insur
gent senators Of that party and the
neutrality-suspicious. as we'll and
pass the changed bill in both houses
is looked upon as doubtful.

league by all existing fruit market
ing organizations of the Pacific north

The organization meeting will be
held in Seattle and every shipper in

The establishment of this league, to

tive basis. 1t is with this league thai
the growers executive committee will
have all dealings.
The purpose of the cooperative
plan between the growers executive
heads and the shippers league are

TO obtain for fruit growers the
maximum amount of service in return
for the compensation paid the ship
pers by the growers.
ITO secure the adoption of such
uniform methods for the transaction
Of business between the shippers and
the grower as will furnish a fair
basis of comparison.
ITO establish such practices with
regard to the selling and marketing
of fruit as will tend to eliminate
consignment and auction sales, pre-
vent unwise and unfair competition,
and in every manner stabilize the
market, and secure for the grower
the greatest possible net return fol
his product.
SIN conjunction and comparison
with the shippers, to proceed as oc'
casion offers by conservative ano
weil-considered measures to improve
the condition affecting the production
and marketing of fruit, and especial
ly to promote the interests of the
boxed apple industry of the north
west.
"To arrange for the collection
through the shippers of a tax, to bt
paid by the growers, not to exceed Il
cent per box IN apples and pears, l.
cent per box on strawberries and IL
cent per package upon other small
fruit shipped, to provide for the cos
and expense of this organization al
: such funds to be subject to disburse
ment by the executive committee
who shall make periodic reports Il
the board of control.
"To make agreements with tn
shippers for the carrying out OF tn
purposes herein outlined, and 70
other purposes as the same may az
pear to be mutually advantageous
and to enforce the same; and to tina
end they are authorized to establisl
headquarters and engage such en-
ployes and assistance as may b
necessary"

Death of Charlton H. Sondley.

Charlton H. Sondley died at the
home of his brother, Richard Sond-
ley, in this city, on last Saturday af-
ternoon at " thirty o'clock. He
had been sick for several days, but
was thought to be improving until a
day or two before his death.
Mr.. Sondley was a native of COL
umbia. He removed with his par
ents to Abbeville county when he
was about sixteen years of age, and
lived on the farm near Abbeville
since that time. He was a bachelor.
Mr.. Sondley was a nan of retiring
disposition. He was warm hearted
and genial and loved his friends, but
on account of the fact that he visited
very little, he was not known well by
many people. By his friends he was
greatly loved and respected.
He was one of the most constant
readers of the Bible, we presume, in
the county.
His funeral services were held at
the home of his brother, Richard
Sondley, on Sunday afternoon, at
six o'clock. A great number of peo-
pie assembled out of respect to the
deceased and his kindred. The ser.
vices were conducted by Rev. H. w,
Pratt of the Presbyterian church, af.
ter which his remains were laid te
rest in Long Cane cemetery.

brothers, Richard Sondley, Auditor
for Abbeville County, and Levi:

The fact is that the farmers have al
lowed the control of their industry to
slip out of their hands, and they are
squeezed because the organized in
dustry always unloads it's burdens up
on, the unorganized. If farmers are
to retain a surplus of wealth beyond
the bare necessities of life; if they
are ever to see in the rural districts
any of the Injuries and comforts of
the city, they must make it their per-
~sistent and fundamental policy to
work toward complete control over
the manufacture and sale of all the
products of the farm-its stocks, it's
crops, its by-products, and the manu-
featuring business connected with
these, so that they can act in their
own interest through their own
agents in district markets, and push
their produce with the energy of
self-interest.- George w. Russell,
