SHALL BLIND LEAD BLIND?

Give dollars for pair Of specta-
cles? Absurd If the boy needs
glasses, | can take him down to the
five and ten cent store and get him a
pair"
Sounds impossible, doesn't it? Yet
that is exactly the reception that was
given one school nurse when she
went to a mother in a northern Wis
consin town to tell her that an ex-
animation Of her boys eyes proved
that the sight in one Of them had
nearly gone and that proper glasses
were absolutely essential. The boy
was twelve years old. He was only
in the fourth grade. Yet no one had
evor thought to look into his eyes for
the reason.
The nurse was puzzled. Finally
she asked if the boy might not be
allowed to earn his glasses. The
mother consented. The boy was
eagerly enthusiastic. 1t was up to
the nurse to find the work. She went
about it in the best possible way, by
asking the editor Of the local news
paper if he would print an ADVERTISE
ment for the boy. The editor did
more. He published the story of
the boy who wanted work to pay for
the glasses which would save his
eyes and within half an hour after
the paper was on the street, a bust
ness man had telephoned the school
superintendent to get the glasses
and send the bill to him. Other Of
fers Of help made it possible to pro
vide a little girl, also found to be in
need of glasses, and to outfit a boy
with school clothing.
This little story is a reminder Of
the responsiveness Of humanity to
the appeal Of those in distress, es-
pecially if the burden bearer is a
little child. Back Of it, however, is
another lesson that should not be

WASHINGTON LETTER

from Northern States and only 5
per cent from Is Southern states,
combined, the South. usually gets
the long end of river and harbor
appropriations. Twenty seven of
the principal committees have chair
men from the Southern states in the
same manner as last session The
only exception is with Fitzgerald of
New York who is chairman OF the
Appropriations committee.
In discussion on the floor last
week the writer was questioned by
different members on the subject,
including Cyclone" Davis, minis
terial long whiskered representative
from Texas, who thought that rail-
way rates in his state were held
down by waterways. As Texas has
received about S20,OO0,OOO from
the government for creeks, canals
and rivers, the country at large has
been footing bills ostensibly to re-
duce freight rates there although
rates are not affected except in $50
lated cases Commissions now regu-
late freight rates. The great waste
in this class of legislation is becom-
ing better understood and vigorous
opposition will meet any old time
bill
A rural credit bill is among the
proposed laws that may pass session.
Many bills have been introduced
and while it may not prove Of es-
pecial value to Wisconsin where in
terest rates are only one half those
charged in different Southern states,
q law organized by the government,
and providing for mutual loaning
organizations will give needed re-
lief in those states.
A bill to provide a federal censor
ship of movies" was before house
committee last week. 1t provides
that films which fail to pass the
test will be excluded from copy
right and interstate shipments. 1t
also transpires that forty million
dollars have been invested in the
business. and the managers were
here in force opposing any censor
ship on the ground primarily that
no one commission could pass on
ten per cent Of the films now pro-
duced.
The educational committee report
ed similar bill favorably last SEES
sion but it failed to pass because of
the congested calender. Another
effort will probably be made at this
session.

Titanic" Wheat.

The department has recently been
advised by a correspondent in Califor-
MIA that a variety of wheat is being
advertised under the name Titanic
The assertion is made that it is a new
variety Of wheat discovered in Eng
land about four years ago, and that
a small quantity of seed was brought
to the United States by one Of the
survivors of the ill-fated Titanic. The
wheat is represented as having ex-
tremely high yielding power, the re-
turns reaching as high as 7,800-foii.
A photograph sent by this corre-
spondent shows head identical I'm
appearance with the widely exploited
Alaska" wheat Five acres of the
wheat are said to be growing in the
State Of Washington, and the seed, it
is believed, will be offered at high
prices after harvest The department.
has no further or more definite infor-
nation concerning this variety bat
farmers and dealers are cautioned to
be on their guard concerning This
new exploitation. Fs .pi.

The Speeder.

The speeder is a mistake of nature 8
which accidentally got classed as a
human, and therefore can not be
eradicated with a club. When ma
ture finishes a speeder she gives him
single-barreled brain with one idea
In it. This idea is the belief that
1t Is smart to break the speed laws.
AS soon as a speeder is old enough to
escape from his nurse he takes his
fathers automobile out and fulfills his
mission. Speeders vary from ten to
seventy years OF age, but not very
much in intellect. When speeder is
driving thirty-five miles an hour, i'm
periling life of all description, he is
happy. When ne is driving fifty
miles an hour and buggies are being
driven into the ditch to escape him
he is filled with deep Joy. When he
is driving q mile a minute with the
muff1er cut out and the motorcycle
cop hopelessly behind, his bosom
swells and he would not trade places
with senator. After q speeder has
raced up and down a street for a few
days he has torn up most of the road
and has blown it into peoples faces
and the nearby houses. Whenever a
dense cloud Of dust is seen there may
be found speeder also making him
self as welcome on earth as a chinch
bug.-Orangeburg News.

The Worst Ever.

About the worst play that a South
Carolina newspaper has made in
many years is that which has just
been pulled off by the Lexington Dis.
patch. An article was written, ir
seems, by che associate editor Of
the paper, who, we take it, is over
Jealous in the effort to boost the
fortunes of some other candidate for
governor at the expense OF Governor
Manning and who attempted to up
braid Governor Manning for par
don granted to a Lexington man.
Some two weeks ago The Dispatch
carried an article which was severe
in its criticism Of Governor Manning
for granting this pardon. The article
was rather demagogic in tone and at
tempted to arouse the indignation Of
the voters of Lexington county.
This week The Dispatch carries a
statement from the Office Of Govern
or Manning. and the said statement.
VIC uHUcIStauu, lidI tAc Pelt-
ton for pardon for the man was
signed by the author of the article
in The Dispatch, and also, we under
stand, by the editor of The Dispatch.
You can imagine what a foolish po-
sition this puts the author of the
article and his paper in. The only
excuse offered by the author Is that
men sometimes sign petitions too
carelessly. That may be true, bat
we don't think we ever heard Of a
newspaper man signing a petition for
the pardon of convict. and then
writing an article severely upbraid-
ing governor for pardoning the
said convict. That was a new one
on us, and we think it a new one in
the annals Of newspaperdom.
If the papers who are fighting
Governor Manning so bitterly keep
up such tactics as that they will GER
tainly help him far more than they
will hurt m.-Spartanburg Herald.

RACES WILL FURNISH THRILLS.
Motor Fans Will Have Opportunity OF
Seeing Plenty Of Sport on Fourth.

Motor fans will on Tuesday, July
fourth, have the opportunity Of
feeling plenty Of thrills and seeing a
big crowd for on that day there
will be motorcycle races in the morn
ing and automobile races in the after
noon at the Sumter race track, afford
ing excitement sufficient to feed the
morbid cravings Of almost any of the
speed maniacs. t
The motorcycle races will be at II
o'clock in the morning and the auto
races will be at o'clock in the after
noon. These hours have been select
ed so as to conflict as little as pos-
sible with the visitors here for the
Wesley Bible Glass Federation on
that day, many of whom no doubt will
take few hours off from serious mat
ters to celebrate the Fourth at the
race track.
A feature which has been brought
jointly by the promoters of the races
and committee Of the Bible Glass
Federation is the Jubilee Band from
Columbia of which Prof. w. s. Schu-
macher is the leader and director
This band will give concerts at the
race course just prior to the races
both morning and afternoon.
The race track has been oiled and
there will be no dust to inconvenience
the spectators. as there was on the
occasion of the races in April. The,
grand stand is in good shape and a,
fence has been erected along the east
ern side of the track. Various other
changes and Improvements have been
made and everything is in readiness
for the races, for which bountifuI
prizes have been offered. t.--
