sort of family affair"
Mr.. McGowan insinuases that
am the most interested, and that
only those near to me, perhaps
relative" of mine, will get the best
plum-the clerkship.
His statement is 80 full of errors
and malice that / am constrained,
against my will, to tell just how the
bill became law. 1t has The ap-
pearance of Dragging too much for
lne to enjoy it, but the credit, if
there be credit, for this piece of
legislation, is due almost entirely to
Congressman Byrnes. He got it
through the house-this, too, by
my help-and perhaps | was the
only man in Washington who could
have accomplished it.
Wyatt Aiken introduced the bill
early last year. hut it lay asleep in
the judiciary committee of the house.
j introduced Aiken's bill in the SEN
ate and tried TO get it out of the ja-
dietary committee there, hut failed
because of an unfavorable report
from the encouragement and the
objections of western senator,
whose state needed a Judge much
more than South Carolina" he said.
After the primary election was
over, ana all were safely elected,
the members of the South Carolina
delegation in the house got busy on
the court bill. An agreement was
reached amoug themselves as to
where the court should be held.
This was the rock upon which the
bill eoundered once before. Finley
and Latimer could not agree as to
where the court should be held, and
the bill died in conference after
having passed both houses. s..s;

some essentials Of food, which had
never before been definitely under
stood. The excessive meat diet OF the
Esquimos has come in for study; while
a recent Scotch investigation, which
has attracted wide attention, was
based on the apparent greater preva-
lance of cancer among Scotch people
who lived in districts where coal is
burned.
The officers Of the American navy
have been pointed out as remarkably
healthful class by DR.. L. L: Won Wede-
kind, commanding the hospital ship
Solace; and he has advanced as the ex-
PLANTATION, the fact that these officers
drink distilled water when on sea duty.
The health records Of the navy show
that the officers are remarkably free
from old age or premature old age
troubles.
Blood pressure tests show such fine
figures among the officers that DIR. Won
Widekind declares navy officers to be
youths at sixty-five years. Blood pres
sure increases with advancing age, and
high blood pressure for ones years in
dicates abnormal conditions, though
not necessarily serious conditions.
The navy officers give figures rather
under the normal. Hardening of the
arteries, the old age disease, is mark
eddy absent in the navy; and in 1913
there was only one death from apo
plexy among all the officers.
On board navy vessels distilled water
is used almost exclusively, and DR.. Won
Widekind's studies have convinced him
that this is the explanation.

WITHOUT SLEEP
FOR Three DAYS
IN DARDANELLES
(London Observer, June g.

Lieut. Commander j. c. Wedgwood, r.
N. V. R.. Member for Newcastle-under-
Lyme, who was wounded at the Darda-
nelles, has returned to Borlaston. Stats
In an interview he described the landing
in Gallipoli and the exploit of the River
Clyde, which has been styled the British
Wooden Horse of Troy"
He was in charge Of squadron Of ar
incurred motor but when the en-
trance to the DardanelleS was
reached it was found that they could not
be used owing to the difficulty Of land
ing. Lieut. Commander Wedgwood and
his men, therefore, mounted their max
inns aboard the River Clyde to cover the
landing party. Bristling with guns on
deck and ,crammed full Of men in the
hold. the ship moved to "V' beach, be-
tween Cape Helles and Seddel Bahr, with
eerie silence which presaged the storm
Of shot and shell to follow.
An attempt to land was made. AS the
vanguard reached the shore the infantry
and machine-guns poured lead on them
like rain. The fire was then turned on
the smaller craft, and the troops, to save
themselves, jumped into the sea, but
there they became easier targets. Three
hundred men gained a foothold ashore,
covered by the machine-guns of the
River Clyde. They held on. but at a tre-
mendous sacrifice. General Napier and
his brigade-major both fell, and many
more officers shared their fate.
All this time the foe was invisible. 1t
was not until dusk that real progress
was made. Then 1900 MINISTERS and
Hampshires got ashore. and the strip
Of beach from the waters edge to the
rise in the ground was taken. This posi-
ton was held at great cost, but event.
ually the Queen Elizabeth and other
vessels came to give assistance.
Three thousand French troops landed
the following day and afforded relief to
those who had held on so tenaciously.
