MILITARY CASTE OPPOSED.
Admiral Blues Plan Arouses the Small
Navy Men


WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. = Anoth-
er opportunity for military caste in
this country was uncovered Yesterday
by small navy adherents in the house
naval affairs committee while Rear Adj
miraI Victor Blue, L. S. ", chief of
the bureau of navigation, was explain
ing the naval reserve proposals of the
department.
Admiral Blue stated that the navy
would like to see plan whereby an
enlisted man who had served Is wears
either actively or in the reserve should
have preference in obtaining govern
ment jobs under the civil service. He
recommended a system such as now
gives first choice to Civil war and Span
ish war veterans.
'sThat will never do in this coun-
try interrupted Representative Con.
nelly of Kansas. People will never
stand for giving preference to men who
have never been to the front They viii

MOBILE, Ala, Feb. TO- - Operators
from the central competitive bitumin-
Gus coal fields embracing western Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois told
the mine workers in the joint wage con-
ference here that the mine owners are
not sharing in the wave Of prosperity
now prevailing and for that reason they
could not see their way clear to grant
the increase in wages asked by the men
nor accede to the other demands of
the United Mine Workers of America
Instead of making any concessions
whatever the operators offered to re-
new the wage scales now in effect in
the four states when they expired

WANT TO JOIN THE TENNIS
CLUB?

All young fOlks-and older ones
too, are requested to be present at
a meeting at the Dixie Friday
night for the purpose of organic
ing a tennis club.
Several young men are interested,
Allen Wikoff is among the most active,
in promoting the organization of a
tennis club in Clayton, Mr., Wikoff
plans it as a good-sized proposition
consisting say of thirty or forty men,
bers, the club to be maintained and
conducted on the assessment plan
each member paying so much each
month. He sees it as easily possible
to have four court lot and equipped
in the very latest style with a care
taker in charge.
Clayton has many citizens who are
good players of this most fascinating
game, some Of them are eX-champ-
ions. We believe the plan will meet
with success from the start.

tions this year, except it may be that
pupils failing in a minor study will be
permitted to try the examinations
again in September. Several eighth
grade pupils have failed in one or
more studies, but the grades on an
average are higher than usual, as
much good work has been done.
Some field exercises are scheduled
for the last week of school, a ball
game clayton has not been beaten
this year,, races, jumping, and shot
throwing. The smaller children will
have an outing.

CHEAPER ELECTRIC CURRENT

From City Clerk NJ. r. jones The
Citizen learns that upon the instaIla-
tion of the additional electric current
generating equipment at the munich
pal plant, patrons will be urged to pur-
chase electric cooking and heating de-
vices. Under this system, according
to Mr.. Jones, enough "juice" will be
consumed to permit the city to sell
current for 5 cents per kilOwatt in
stead of the present 10 cents per kilo-
watt. 1t is claimed that at this rate
electric current is as cheap as coal
or wood for cooking and heating pur-
poses.

SIX DELEGATES NAMED
TO ATTEND CONVENTION
Holloman Says Wilson is Too
Versatile with Affections
Freak Luck Cannot
Save Democrats

State Committeeman II. J. Ham
mond and E. F. Gallegos, accompanied
by DIR. J. M. Winchester, o. T. Toombs,
Juan Vigil, A. S. Chavez, Carl Elk
lund, N. F. Gallegos, R. @. Palmer and
State Land Commissioner r. P. Ervien
represented Union county at the state
convention at Albuquerque last week,
to elect delegates to the national con-
vention at Chicago.
The much talked of discord in the
Republican party failed to answer
when the roll was called, and Union
county did its part to "chord" with
the harmony. That Union county Re-
publican forces are recognized as a
power in the state was evidenced by
our representatives being on nearly
every committee and that Eufracio
Gallegos was elected delegate to the
national convention, one of six in the
state. These delegates go uninstruct-
ed.
One of the features Of the meeting
was the brilliant speech Of Reed Hollo-
man in which the Santa Fe man point
ed out that if ever the country needed
a Republican at the national helm, the
time is now. He pointed out that
even though the democrats had been
ornamented with horse-shoes and va
rious pieces of freak good luck during
their administration, they are doing
their best to make mess of our ma
tional affairs. Mr.. Holloman scored
the president for his policy toward
Mexico. The speaker while on the sub
ject observed that "Mr. Wilson's af-
fections have been transferred from
one bandit to another so often and
with such utter disregard for our own
interests that we have won and merit
ed the contempt of the civilized
world"
The great point in his speech how
ever, was that the fate of the G. o. P,
rested only within the party. He de-
Tended the motives that caused the
destructive split of 1912, asserting
that it was not for selfish gain, and
while it was destructive, temporarily
he contended that all persons were
very much human and prone to err
The keynote of Mr.. Holloman's speech
is sounded in the following quoted
paragraph:
"Whoever is nominated by our ma
tional convention, whether fortune
should smile upon one candidate Ol
another, or upon that great man who
drifted, let us all resolve in the name
Of our country's welfare, in the name
Of our country's honor, that the nom
inee of the Chicago convention, who
ever he may be, will be our candidate
and will command our loyal support.

NEW CITY OFFICERS TO
START WORK TUESDAY
Spending $55,OOO for Water
Works Extension, Plant
Addition, Fire Station
and City Hall is Task

While the batting order in the city
board of aldermen will be changed a
little, only one man will retire from
the list, Tuesday night when the al
dermen and mayor elect begin the new
term. H. j. Hammond Sr., who has
served as mayor will be succeeded by
T. H. Rixey. Aldermen Ekund, Otto,
and Herzstein will remain on the job
and Fulgencio C. de Baca will begin
duties filling the vacancy created by
the resignation of S. Herzstein. M.
R. Jones, city clerk, paused long
enough in his task yesterday of raking
in the glittering coin to tell the re-
porter that he too, would be found
doing business at the same old stand.
So far as known there will be no
changes in the appointive offices.
Year Promises to be Busy
The coming year promises to be a
busy one for the board. First in order
is the disposing of the $4,000 worth
of water works extension bonds, for
which bids will be received until May
Is.
City Clerk Jones gave the reporter
a brief summary of the improvements
that are scheduled for attention. An
other well will be sunk from which
it is hoped enough additional water
will be obtained to supply the city and
the increased consumption for several
years to come. The water mains will
be extended and additional fire plugs
installed. Another well and pump
equipment will call for additional cleo
tric power, which, if installed, will be
sufficient to carry the overload of gen.
eral current.
With addition of the extra power
producing facilities larger quarters
will be in demand at once. The pres
ent plan, as Mr.. Jones views it, is
to build a brick addition to the NUM-
cipal power house.
u, Though no definite plans have been
made it is stated that work will begin
before the end Of the year on modern
city hall and fire station. The pro-
bable cost of the building has not been
estimated. It is understood if this
building is erected there will be quar-
ters for seven fremen, the fire equip
ment, council chambers, city clerk Of
flee and probably two or three auxil-
array rooms.
Fire Department to Purchase Motor
According to members of the fire
department there is a positive need for
just such a building as the proposed
combination city hall and fire station.
Morgan Harvey reports that the fire
department is now in position finan-
cially to purchase a motor fire truck,
but if they owned it now it would be
like having a bear without a cage
there is no suitable place at present
to harbor a motor fire truck.
Truck will Cost $2,50O
According to Harvey the fire COM
pany has about concluded that the 90
horse power Jeffery motor truck is
about the best thing for the money.
When the truck is installed complete
and ready for business the company
will have expended in the neighbor-
hood of S2,500.

Thrifty White Settlers Needed.

One does not. have to journey IN any
direction very far from the county seat
before he realizes that among the
greatest needs of Edgefeld county is
additional home owners III our rural
districts. There is waste land by the
thousands of acres that needs to be
reclaimed and there are hundreds of
thousands of idle acres of arabic land
that should no longer remain dead cap
ital to the owners.
1t is not probable that any of these
lands will be made to yield a harvest
until there is an influx of outside fam
lilies. Homes could be provided for
several thousand additional families in
Edgefeld county and then no rural COM
munlty would be congested. More home
owners of the right kind would mean
better roads, better schools and stronger
churches. Hasten the day when a
great throng of thrifty immigrants can
be brought into Edgefield county!

Compulsory School Attendance.

The Advertiser would like to see the
local option school attendance law made
operative in every school district in
Edgeheld county. Another session
should not be lost to many boys and
girls who have attained the school age
and yet are kept out of school, or what
is equally as bad, allowed to remain
out of school, by their parents. Hit
eracy will never be driven from South
Carolina until all of the children are
put in school. That white boys and
white girls are daily growing into man.
hood and womanhood throughout South
Carolina who can not read or write
their names is too horrible.to contem-
plate. 1t can be remedied however by
putting every boy and girl over six
years in school. Edgefeld county is
not the only one in South Carolina
whose people need the compulsory
school attendance law. That there are
others is shown by the following pa
thetic incident taken from the Man.
ming Herald, which is ably edited by
Mr.. J. K. Breedin:
eve attended the mayors court
yesterday and saw one thing that
threatens US more truly and more
vitally than the sale of liquor. Two
colored men and two colored women,
after testifying, walked to the desk
and Esigned their names to their tes-
timony-and the women were cooks
about town; white man and young
white woman had to make their mark!
What threatens us-compulsory educa-
ton, or compulsory ignorance? No
civilization or government can be built
on ignorance. The Negroes could read
and write; the white people, of about
the same age, could not!"
