Should be Given Employment.

Tue board of charities and correc-
fions recently made an inspection of
the Richland county Jail as required by
law, and found SO inmates, II of whom
are white. The board recommended
that some kind of employment be pro-
Eiied for the inmates. The Advert
ser commends the suggestion. In coun-
ties that are densely populated and
have considerable number of prison
ers in Jail some way should be provi-
ded for their making the expenses of
maintaining the Jail. Better be en-
ployed than lolling around the jail all
idsy.

Shower For Miss Mamie West.

On Saturday afternoon last, a
the home of Mrs. s. B. Strom, tht
Woman's Missionary Society of Re
hoboth church entertained with 9
miscellaneous shower in honor oi
Miss Mamie West.
The interior Of this pretty coun
try home was decorated in very
tasty manner, the hall being il
green and the parlor in red and gold
On entering, the guests were greeted
by Misses Martha and Ethel Strom
who took charge of the gifts.
A table containing the brides
book was presided over by Miss An
ME Lou Morgan. In this book each
guest wrote wish for the bride, q
prize being offered for the bes'
wish. So after the wishes had al
been written and read by Miss Nor
gan, three judges, namely: Mrs.
Paris Culbreath, Mrs. E. G. Winr
and Mrs. T. C. Culbreath, were ap'
pointed to decide who should be
the winner. There We're three
wishes selected, one equally as good
as the other, so these were placed
in a hat and disinterested party
had to draw to decide the lucky win.
ner. The prize fell to Mrs. Gus
Winn.
Little Misses Florence Culbreath
and Mary Julia Winn passed
through the crowd and pinned dain.
ty souvenirs of tiny red and gold
bells on each guest. A large bas-
ket decorated in red and gold and
filled with various articles of linen,
was borne into the parlor by the
above named little girls, where
each article was displayed on a rope
stretched across the corner of the
room.
A table placed nearby was also
filled with china, glassware, ETC., all
of which bespoke of the universal
popularity of the brideto-be. Ice
cream and cake was served at in
tervals throughout the afternoon.
Just as all were gathered around
the tables and about to partake of
these refreshments, toast to the
bride, written by Miss Carrie Tai
bert, was read by Miss Annie Lou
Morgan.
The social feature of this occasion
was indeed helpful, as it brought
together a large number of friends
who enjoyed a few short hours of
fun and merry-making; and as each
one left they felt very much in
debted to Mrs. Strom and the Wo.
mans Missionary Society for the af'
ternoon's entertainment.

Letter From ''Lone STAR State.

Editor Advertiser:
see from your paper aud Uncle
Tvs" letter you have been having
high winds and dry weather back
there. have been living here for
ty-nine years, and don't believe I
ever have seen such a spring and
winter as we have had, We did not
have great deal of cold weather.
January was mild and nearly every
morning was cloudy and drizzling,
just enough to keep the top of the
ground wet and sticky so We could
not plow, About the first week in
February we had good rain and
then the wind commenced to blow
and has kept it up ever since, it is
blowing so hard to day, you can
hardly keep your hat on. From the
time we had the fain in February,
we did not have anymore until April
l, and since then we have had about
twelve inches. 1t was so dry in
March it was very difficult to get a
stand of corn, and in April it was
too wet and cold to plant cotton,
some did plant with the ground too
wet but had to plant over. The
weeds grass and cotton all came up
at the same time, ard the custum
out here when grass and cotton
come up together, instead of trying
to work it out they plow it up and
plant over.
The bulk of the cotton crop is
May cotton and a good deal oft was
planted last week and is not up yet,
some will not finish planting for
two or three days yet. The corn
crop is very promising at this time,
part of it has been plowed the Sec
ond time and laid by and all of it
will be laid by this week, as it will
be too large to plow in few days,
everybody has good stands Of cot
ton and are blowing it over this
week.
The grain crops are looking we'll.
The only trouble there is rot
enough of it planted. All fall oats
was killed by a freeze about the
first of February, and most of them
did not have the money to buy seed
to SOW again. On that account the
cotton acreage will be increased.
I hope you have had good rains
before now. We will not need any
here for ten days or two weeks, by
that time the cotton will be chopped
out.
Well will close for this time.

If elected, 1 pledge myself to stand
for the principles of democracy for
which the Democratic party has stood
in the past. l would advocate partic-
ularly the following:
A further reduction of the tariff on
all the necessities of life and an in
crease, if necessary, on luxuries. l
would supplement our revenue by tax
on large incomes and by an inheritance
tax when colossal fortunes pass from
one member of family to another.
would advocate a Rural Credit Bill
upon the amortization plan-a bill with
out unnecessary red tape end strings
tied to it, as in the present bill in Con-
gress, allowing the borrower, on his
real estate, five to thirty-six years to
repay tie amount borrowed at rate
of not more than FIVE or six per cent.

would check all extravagant appro-
priations. Fifty years after the Civil
War the number of pensioners and the
amount received by each is still in
creasing, and the amount paid out OF
the treasury of the United States for
those who overpowered the South
amounts to S162, 100000 annually.
Nothing like this has been known here
tofore in the history of the world.
The United States should put itself
upon record as favoring concert of
the nations, submitting all differences
between them to arbitration or an In
ternational Court, the DEGREES of which
are to be enforced by peaceful means,
if possible, by force if necessary.
These and many other questions are
before the public of to-day, and a wise
solution of them will make for the
peace and prosperity of the nation.

MIR. Tillman's Brave Words.

Senator Tillman has spoken like
a sound-hearted, clear headed Amer
can to his fellow-Senators on the
abominable River and Harbor Bill
which, in year of greatly incress-
ed expenditures for essential things,
approximates s40,O0O,000 largely
for things that are not essential.
The River and Harbor bill is al
ways more or less of scandal.
This year it is worse than ever.
The lump sum appropriation"
which Mr.. Tillman suggests should
be passed TO keep the really i'm
portant projects from going to
ruin, would be comparatively small.
A moderate sum is required to
deepen the East River channel for
the good of the whole country, as
not only commerce but the United
States Navy will nrott by that i'm
provement. There is essential river
and harbor Improvement which
should not be neglected, but most
of the proposed appropriation is a
grab for political purposes.
As Mr.. Tillman says s4O,OoO,-
600 would build two battle cruis-
ers." That amount of money could
more than supply our present need
of destroyers submarines and sup
ply ships in addition to the small
allowance made for them in the
House Naval bill. Senator Till
mans honest and powerful argu-
ment against the River and Har.
Dor bill is based on his recognition
that we need all the money we can
afford to make an adequate navy,
second to none except England's
both in number of ships and their
armament" His warning is in ear
nest of his intention as Chairman
of the Senate's Naval Committee to
ignore the influence of Padgett,
Hensley and kltchin, which has
served to botch the plans for naval
preparedness in the House, and to
give the country an effective naval
bill. At least two superdread-
noughts should be added to this
years list of authorized warships,
and Admiral Perry, in communi-
cation printed on this page to-day
argues convincingly in favor of
eight instead of six battle cruisers.
Doubtless with his clear knowl-
edge of our naval needs, Senator
Tillman will see that the bill con-
tains provisions for the expenditures
building of new ships, and for plac-
ing the strategical control of the
navy where it belongs, in the hands
of experienced officers. His denun-
citation of members of Congress
who attained such a time as this
are ievoting all their energies to
pork" was timely and vigorously
and all patriotic Americans will
share his hope that the President
will vote the River and Harbor bill
if it is passed.-New York Times,
May %, 1915.

tended Richmond academy in Augusta,
aftcrward going to Furman, where he
received his B. S. degree. later taking

MRS. LARS NELSON DEAD.

One of the saddest deaths that
has occurred within the boundries
OF the new Phillips county since it's
creation was the sudden taking
away Sunday of Mrs. Lars Nelson,
wife of Lars Nelson, a homesteader
living few miles south of Wagner.
Peculiarly sad is this case in that
the deceased leaves two motherless
little girls aged four and two years
respectively. Neighbors were very
kind and assisted in every way dur
the short sickness and death of Mrs.
Nelson but the happy home has been
broken up and while the father does
not care to part with the children
he expects sister of his wife will
come to look after them in the
future.
Mrs. Nelson was born in Norway
and came to Iowa in 1908 and to
Montana in the spring of 1911 when
she was married to Mr.. Nelson and
has resided ON their farm ever since,
Besides the two little tets she leaves
two sisters in Dakota, one in Mont
ana and two brothers in Duluth,
Mimi.
Funeral services were held from
the Tucker undertaking parlors
OF the Methodist church, alternating
and the remains were buried in the
Malta cemetery. The sympathy of
the entire community is extented to
the bereaved family in their sore
affliction.
