Gentlemen of the Congress-:
In fulfilling at this time the duty
laid upon me by the constitution of
communicating to you from time to
time information of the state of the
union and recommending to your
consideration such legislative meas

practice. which I hope has been ac-
ceptable to you, of leaving 10 the
reports of the several heads of the
executive departments the elabora-
tiOn of the detailed needs of the
public policy with which IL seems
necessary and feasible to deal at the
present session of the congress.
i realize the limitations of time
under which you will necessarily
act at this session and shall make
my suggestions as few as possible;
but there were some things left un-
done at the last session which there

which il seems necessary in the in
terest OF the public to do at once.
In the first place, il seems To- me
imperatiVely necessary that the
earliest possible consideration and
action should be accorded the re-
manning measures of the program
of settlement and regulation which

First, immediate provision for
the enlargement and administrative

commerce commission along the

of deacons of the church voted unan-
imously to recommend next Sunday
morning to the congregation that Or
White be allowed to accept the presl-
dency, carrying on the duties of pas
tor and president at the same time.
DR.. White has the matter under ad-
visement. In the event he decides to
accept he will cooperate with DR.. III
nard until the end of the present ses-
sion and will become president next
summer.
DR.. White is North Carolinian
by birth and came to the Anderson
church from Atlanta six months ago.
In Atlanta he was the pastor of the
Second Baptist church and is con-
sidered leader in the Southern Bap-
tist convention. He is a graduate of
Wake Forest and degrees have been
conferred on him by the largest
church of any denomination in South
Carolina and the action, of the board
of deacons tonight means that the
church and college, which is under
the State Baptist Convention, will be
even more closely associated than
they have been in the past.

DEATH OF MISS
MARGARET E. GILBERT

On Wednesday evening, March Is,
1915, at her home near Abbeville,
S. c., Miss Margaret Elizabeth Gilbert
departed this lite after an illness of
more than four months. She had
been in declining health for four
years, but not once during all these
years of suffering was there MUIR
muir of complaint.
Miss Gilbert was the eldest child
of the late Rev. Jas. r. and Elizabeth
Ann Baskin Gilbert, being of the old
Huguenot stock. Those who are
fortunate enough to own DR.. George
Howe's "History of the Presbyteri-
an Church in South Carolina" will
find (on pages $4,000 Volume y a
very interesting account of the Gil
bert family and their connection
with the Ruguenot Colony, which
emigrsted from France, and finally
settled at New Bordeau, in Abbeville
County in 1854.
She was born in Abbeville coun-
ty on March 10Th, 1841, receiving
her education at Cokesbury College.
In early childhood she united with
Lebanon Presbyterian Church, dur
ing her fathers pastorate.
AS Christian, Miss Gilbert was i'm
pressive by the quiet repose of her
faith, the earnestness of her motives,
the sincerity of her purpose, the pur-
ity of her life and the steady tenacity
of her efforts to do good. BY her
kind and genial manners, her modest
and retiring disposition, her timely
attention to the poor and the stran-
ger, she secured to herself the vener-
alton and affection of all with whom
she came in contact. At variance
with the general practice of the pres
ent day, she was a strict observer
of the Lords Day and constantly de-
plored the tendency toward laxness
in this observance.
Those who had the privilege of
watching beside her during her last
illness received a beautiful lesson in
patience, humility, faith and trust.
She is survived by her aged moth
er, one brother, James S. Gilbert, and
three sisters, Mrs. John G. Evans,
Miss Annie H. Gilbert, Miss Lucy G.
Gilbert and number of relatives who
mourn her loss.

THE PROPOSED
SAVANNAH RIVER BRIDGE

The Savannah river bridge propo-
sition is one that should not be al
lowed to sleep. People of two of
the best counties in two of the best
states in the best section of the best
country on earth are interested in its
building. 1t would put Elberton
and Abbeville on the national high
way and divert the great stream of
future automobile travel through our
towns and country. That, in itself,
is sufficient reason for building the
bridge, to say nothing of the conven-
ience and benefits to the people liv-
ing on both sides of the river and
the general travelling public. Fer
ries did all right in pioneer days,
when there was very little travel

VIM. Won Praag Didn't
Like Kansas at All.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 10.-When
William Won Praag, of Valley City, N.
D., who is a bangup salesman and has
been most everywhere, got into Smith
Center, Smith county, Kan, he dis
covered that he was in the center OF
the United States. Most of the coun-
try roundabout was loose and in the
air, he said yesterday, at the Nicollet
hotel. He had heard, he said, that
Kansas was dry and was prepared for
eventualities. But he did not know
how dry it really was.
Everybody in Smith Center and else
where in Kansas City had money, he
said, and so it must be, he concluded,
that Kansas is prospecting agricultur-
ally and as the result Of prohibition.
Men, women and children were dusty,
dry and prosperous. 1t was easy to
sell goods. But it kept him broke, he
said, handing out tips to hotel porters
and others for brushing off his clothes
about once every 80 minutes.
William Allen White, who wrote
What's the Matter With Kansas, the
boost article that you hear about all
over the United States, can take it
from me he is the greatest press agent
In the world" Mr. Van Pragg said.
when come back and look at Mime
sofa and realize that such a great
article was written about Kansas, l
could almost cry. Kansas may be all
right-certainly it must be good
state where all the people have money,
and maybe l did not see it at it's best,
but alongside of Minnesota it looks
Just like taking the winters ashes out
Of the cellar.
~ said to a man in Smith Center,
What have you got here anyway?,' as
wiped half an inch of soil off my
face.
"'Got here?" answered that man,
why, we have the richest soil, the fat
test stock, the happiest homes, the
most beautiful women and the finest
climate in the world"
Just then cloud with large Jumps
in It, a dust cloud blew in and choked
him. But it didn't stop him at all.

garden spot of the world, Kansas

came another dust cloud and smother
