GENERAL wAsHINaroN's FARE
WELI. AnnREGG

Every year on Februay % some sena
tor and some congressman rises i'm mis-
place and reads aloud the farewell adj
dress .of General WASHINGTON, and every
year those who listen and those who
read this document i'm the Congressional
Record are profoundly impressed with
two things-frst. that his wisdom was
so great that he seems to foretell what
is coming TO us and a way to meet IL
and second to place his advice i'm such
a way as to take from his words all ego
tism and assumacy of authority 1t was
written or delivered OF September Il,
1856, and he died i'm 1893. On July 8,
1875 the Declaration of Independence
from Great Britain was published abroad
while congress was sitting in the city
of Philadelphia. Twenty years later this
farewell address was published abroad.
and when we consider there had been
only twenty years intervening, the scope,
breadth and depth of this paper is SIM
ply amazing. II is perfectly finished,
and although there are critics who insist
that Alexander Hamilton or somebody
else had really written or composed the
farewell address, the paper has too many
esrmarks of its real author to be easily
discredited.
General Washington was a well-edu-
Gated man, a good speaker and well in
formed on all public questions, and also
a man of large means and varied expert
ence, and il is easy to see how he had
studied the problems of government
when his hand was on the helm. and
great issues involved.
Easily was he the first citizen of the
new republic. and while he had enemies
who talked about him, and spread evil
TO his private life and chara-
aCter. he seemed to bear A CHARMED life
up and above petty partisan squaDbles
and recrimnations He could not please
everybody. Nothing is palmer to those
who are acquainted with the cares and
perpleXities of the presidential position.
While the honors are great, the cares
are multitudinous and most eXacting. and
for the time being. a president can
scarcely call an hour his own.
Ambition is a powerful master, and l
feels sure there is a sigh of relief when
a president can retire and hear the well
come plaudit. well done!'
l do wish all our school children were
required to listen to Washington's fare
we'll address on February %. 1t was so
intended when the national holiday was
instituted. 1t will soak in after many
readings, and nothing could be more per-
tinent to the days purposes.

SH|PBUILDERS DECLINE
TO BUILD SUBMARINES
Declare They Can't Meet. Sur
face Speed Requirement
of 20 Knots

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Amertcar
shipbuilders have declined to build the
two fleet submarines authorized by con-
gress last year because of a stipula-
tion that the vessels shall have sur.
face speed of twenty knots. Secretary
Daniels wrote Chairman Padgett, of the
house naval committee, today that he
had been unable to obtain satisfactory
bids and the only alternative. would be
to construct the submersibles in navy
yards, upon steam driven designs.
"The department, however" the let
ter says "as at present advised, does not
favor steam driven submersibles and
feels that il was not realized at the
time of the passage of the act that the
provisions for speed would necessitate
construction containing thus undesjr-
able feature" .
According to naval officers expert in
the construction of submarines the
speed requirement of 20 knots is i'm
possible TO attain. The maximum
speed of such craft with the most mod
ern engine equipment, they say, is on
an average of less than twenty knots
and that cannot be sustained long
Steam propulsion would be required to
give a sustained speed of twenty knots
and this is not believed to be fit for
submarine use.
Contracts for the two. vessels were
opened recently. Only one bidder, the
Electric Boat company, came within the
limit of S1,500,0O0 set for each vessel
Its bid has been nullified by the depart
ment because it would not meet the
speed requirement.
Secretary Daniels wants the money
re-appropriated and submarines similar
to those of the coast defense type built.
These have proved their usefulness. ne
says, and the larger craft are still in
the experimental stage.

There is a certain type of mind in
our day which assumes habitually that
it is able to improve anything and ev-
erything that has BEEN. and, that after
such Improvement all future improve

able. Men of this sort have been en-
gagged for time in the effort to amend
and improve the divine revelation. and
some of them now profess to find the
moral LAZY defective and propose to
frame a new and better code. - =.
They find that the world can not get
on without morality, but. they desire Il
moral system which shall be separate
ana apart from religion. They desire
an theistic morality, an in the place

BETTER MARKETS FOR ASPARAGUS
association Formed BY Growers of Five Towns Will Handle

Cooperating with the Office of Mar

Is working out some practical and ef-

IL is up 10 all concerned to consider
ana determine upon some plan of ac-
tion that will solve the problems Of
marketing the states products AL
thouSh the marketing situation has
not by any means, been definitely
worked out, some very significant
work has nevertheless been decided
upon and begun. One of the market
Ing schemes now under way is that
adopted recently by the asparagus
growers in the vicinity of Ridge
Spring, Trenton, Williston, Elko and
Blackville.
On July 10 about twenty of the as
paragus growers met in an informal
way at Columbia with W. w. Long,
director of extension at Clemson. The
meeting was in the nature of a round
table discussion, and the growers took
1t as an opportunity to exchange their
IDEAS and experiences. 1t developed
that, with very few exceptions. the
growers were operating at loss. The
consensus was that the growers sys-
tenn OF marketing was wrong. They
were unanimous in the belief that they
ought to get together upon some united
and concerted scheme of sorting, grad
ing, packing and selling their product
The growers next invited the mar
ket agent at Clemson College and c.
e. Basset of the Office of Markets and
Rural Organization, U. S. department
OF agriculture. to attend an informal
meeting of asparagus men at Ridge
Spring and another at Trenton. At
the Ridge Spring meeting it soon de-
veloped that the growers had not sort
