proprietor recently said that if the

work establishments of other places
was distributed among Sumter lob

men employment to rent houses. buy
groceries. coal, wood, ice, clothing. or

The same rule applies in almost en-

Austin, Texas, May 3O-Replying to
an appeal from the American Red
Cross for aid for Mexico, Gov. Ferau-
son today asked that assurances be
given by the Red Cross organization
that distribution of the relief would
be directly under it's control and
supervision before the issuance OF
his appeal to the people of Texas.
While Texas greatly regrets the
deplorable conditions Of women and
children in that war wrecked coun-
try" Gov. Ferguson said in his reply.
1--WE must not become blind to the
fact that provisions sent there most
likely will fall into hands of buc-
cancers and robbers. For this reason
do not feel justified in appealing to
the citizenship of Texas to contribute
sustenance to the Mexicans unless I
could be assured by the proper author
ity that the distribution of aid would
be under its direction and control"

Writing implements changed consid-
erably for the better during Sir Walter
Gilbey's long spell OF life. Though
quill pens are still In use," he remarks
In his "Recollections of Seventy
Years." II remember the time when
one seldom saw any other kind. Steel
pens I'm their early days were expen-

them. The paper we had seventy
years ago may have been partly to
blame: 1t had neither the substance
nor tne surface we take as a matter Of
course nowadays. l remember when
envelopes came into use, and what a
boon they were considered after the

PISGAH NEWS AND VIEWS.
Rains, Floods, Winds and Grass Cause
Lamentation.

Pisgah, May 31.-Today is a VIM
ter one. Friday it rained all day, and
Saturday flood after flood fell i'm the
afternoon with heavy wind. In the
Rembert section the rainfall was tre-
mendous. So the farmers are in it.
The fine wheat crop is severly in
Jured by the rain Oats are almost too
low to cut and the country is full of
grass. This is a dismal future, but
maybe the bright sunshine will come
and We will forget the troubles of the
day.
There is much sickness. Dysentary
is raging and the usual remedies are
not available. 1t has got to a fine pass
that a man can't buy a bottle of laud-
anum owing to the fool law that de-
prives the mass of people from buying
as they used to in order to keep some
who might use them for self-destruc-
ton. In other words injure the great
mass Of people for the benefit Of a
few to keep them from committing
|self-destruction. Whenever people are
bent on suicide they are going to car
ry their point in some way for We
have never seen as much self-destruc-
tfon as what is going on at the pres
ent time.
The writer heard with great pleas
ure the closing Of Bob Jones meeting
and most candidly and honestly say
that Bob Jones left no stone untruned
for the betterment of the people. That
the work so honestly and earnestly
done will ever be a bulwark to all
the sincere hope Of the writer.

I told him that in my opinion there was nothing the United States could do to fnteiligently deal with the shipping emergency that existed. Senators Burton and Lodge merely asked me about certain rates and foreign ships held in American ports. which I supplied"
 MT. Franklin said he had discussed his suggestion for government aid to a pri- vate shipping company with Secretaries McAdoo and Garrison. The plan. he said, probosed that the government guarantee bonds for the company which Would pur- chase or build 30 or 40 steamers for sery- ice in the American foreign trade

---- ADJUSTMENTS
At the Majestic


 The second weeks offering at the Mai estic theatre was enthusiastically received ty crowded houses yesterday and the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the bill is superior to that of last week. It is bill made up almost entirely of comedy acts and the laughs were fre- quent. The bill opens well for Sutton, Mcintyre and sutton in a comedy fantasy iitrdoducing acrobatic stunts. comedy dancing, feats of contortion and other srecialties kept the audience amused and interested during the entire act.
 VIII Weston. we'll known to Birming- ham audiences as a versatile and enter taining singer, made good from the start. He has an original line of conversation and some very clever songs which he knows how to sing. His song "rhe Devil and His Son." made a hit.
 The topical comedy sketch, Red Cross Mery," with Paul Burns in the leading role, easily heads the bill It is original in it's conception and exceptionally well staged and acted. The scene Is wayside inn on the Belgian frontier temporarily transformed into a hospital The incl dents change rapidly from comedy to dramatic action which serve to keep the interest at high tension throughout the act. Paul Burns proved a comedian If much ability, and Miss Winter as the nurse proved an admirable foil.
 As on her previous appearance Baby Helen fairly captured the audience. The dainty little miss is full of cleverness and very versatile for one so young At tile special matinee for school children on Thursday Baby Helen will hold a recep- ton on the stage at the close of the per formance.
 Stan Stanley is simply wonderful as a hourcer-when he gets at 1t. He has some good stuff preliminary to the bouncing act, but he heightened it out until it be- came tiresome.
 Motion pictures open and close the bill
