Cope, May 20.-The commence

school were held last evening in the
presence of a large number of pa
irons and friends, and while things
were not as elaborate as they had
been on former occasions, it was
quite success in every way, and
quite interesting to all present. The
principal, Mr.. G.. G. Stewart, has, had
the whole school to pass rigid exam
nations during the last week or ten
days (which by far was more in
structive than exhibitions) and it
was only a few days ago that it was
decided to have any exercises, but
with such a short time for preparat
ton the children, large and small,
very clearly showed their ability and
training.
Just at the close of the exercises
the Hon. J. T. Lilies, of Orangeburg,
addressed the school and audience in
most pleasing and earnest man
ner!

DOESN'T WANT HIS SHARE.
S. @. Senator to Vote Against River
and HarbOr Measure.

Washington, May 20.-"1 do not
want my share of the stealing in this
bill; and while South Carolina has
items in it amounting to 100000 |
shall vote against it and hope it will
not become law
In these words Senator B. R. Till
man began his remarks on the senate
floor when he arose today to say that
he would oppose the passage of the
pending rivers and harbors bill.
Eve need the money so much
more for more important things that
it is criminal in my mind to hesitate
for one moment or to discuss this bill
at ALL Senator Tillman continued.
The senior senator then said that
if the bill should pass s4O,000,00O
would be wasted.
s'I would be ashamed to go home
and tell my people that I have voted
100000 for South Carolina and left
unprepared and unprotected the mo-
mentous question of a greater navy, y
he said.
Continuing his appeal for less river
and harbor waste and more money
for real preparedness, Senator Till
man said that he wanted more battle
ships and cruisers. He said he ia
vored a lump sum for river and har-
bor work and did not desire to see
new surveys for waterway develop
ment always being proposed.
t'I pray God," Senator Tillman
said finally, "that if this bill should
pass the president will veto it"

FIRE UPON AMERICAN TROOPS.
AS Pershing's Columns Retrace Steps
NOrthWard.

Field Headquarters, Mexico, May
20.-Thirteen troopers of the 7th
cavalry were fired upon yesterday
near the town of Temosachic and one
was wounded. The attack is ascrib-
ed to bandits hiding under a bridge
near the town, which is a few miles
southeast of Madero, on the Mexico
Northwestern railroad.
After a few shots the Mexicans fled
and the Americans continued on their
way.
A small group of Mexicans is fall
ing in behind the American columns
as they move northward, always
keeping out of sight, but telling the
natives that they are chasing the
"Gringoes' from Mexican soil. They
stop whenever the Americans halt
and hide or disarm if Gen. Pershing's
men approach them.
Two suppositions are prevalent re-
garding the identity of these men.
One is that they are Carranzistas
trying to give the American move
ment the appearance of a retreat.
The other is that they are bandits
seeking to annoy the Americans by
sniping. The latter conjecture is re-
garded as the more probable.

BYRNES MADDENS G. O. p.
Mann So Angry He Threatens to
Fix Jimmy.

Washington, May 20.-When the
house passed the shipping bill today
it found the Republican part of that
body mad as a March hare and ready
to do vengeance to member Of the
South Carolina delegation, Congress
man James F. Byrnes. This came
about because Mr.. Byrnes has been
most active in framing the bill in
committee and in helping to pass it
on the floor of the house.
All day yesterday the Republicans
had filibustered and were charging
gag rule by the Democrats.
The rule under which the bill was
being considered provided that vote
should be taken at o'clock on Fri
day. The Republicans on Thursday
and Friday killed time in order that
when the time for closing the debate
had arrived only part of the bill
would be considered and they could
charge the Democrats with gag rule.
Mr.. Byrnes had kept record OF
the time used by the Republicans and
by the Democrats and in closing the
debate for the advocates of the bill
he charged that while the Republic
cans talked of gag rule they had in
fact consumed more than twice the
time consumed by the Democrats in
the discussion of the bill. It is sell
dom that Minority Leader Mann loses
his temper, but when in response to
repeated Interruptions by him Mr..
Byrnes charged that Mr.. Mann knew
nothing about the bill, because in
stead of attending to his business he
had deserted the house and gone to
the ball game, leaving some of his
assistants on the floor with instruc-
tions to filibuster, the Republican
leader threatened the member from
South Carolina that In due time he
would Fix him. and with the MEM
Der from the second district declar-
ing his Indifference to the threats of
the Republican leader, amid applause
from the Democratic side the debate
came to a very stormy close.
It has been evident all along that
the Republicans would do anything
in their power to defeat this great
administration measure and the sit-
uation came to climax here today,
as stated, when Mr.. Byrnes so taunt-i
ed the G. O. P. leaders that they lost
control of themselves entirely and
began to make threats as to what
they would do. Just how Mr.. Mann
proposes to elk" Mr.. Byrnes has not
yet been disclosed and is one of the
interesting situations yet to develop.

Getting Ahead.

There are lot of things in this
world more important than money
and material prosperity, but money
and the getting Of money, or the
lack of it, are matters of universal
concern. A little, prosperity is es-
sential to the average mans happi-
ness, for the average man is not a
philosopher.
All of us make little money.
Most of us spend all we make. We
spend it all because our minds are
primitive. We are ruled by the mo-
ment's desire, and not by the logical
conclusion that tomorrow will bring
like desires. And so it happens that,
whether we make much or little, old
age finds us as poor as we were in
youth. Then our poverty makes us
bitter, and we denounce our neigh
Dor whose ease and prosperity are
based on the very thrift we refused
to practice. We become Socialists
and cuss the corporations.
Continued poverty is personal
fault. The world is full of oppor-
tunity. There is labor for all, and
habitual labor in any field brings a
recompense that is more than SUI
ficient for the actual cost of exist
ence. Any man who will can save.

I do not say he will, I say he can.
Respectable clothes can be bought
for very little money. Simple food
is not dear.
But he will not deny himself. He
will buy high-priced food and high
priced clothes-on credit. He will
have his tobacco and his dram.
And because he isn't man enough
to endure every necessary privation
while getting start, he remains poor
and blames conditions and the gov
ernment for his poverty.
l once knew a young fellow who
earned five dollars a week. Out Of
that sum be kept up his little family,
gave little to his church, and paid
cash for everything he bought. La
ter his wages were raised to eight
dollars a week. Instead of saving
the extra three dollars, he allowed
himself little more latitude in buy
ing, and even began to buy on credit.
His wages were raised to ten dollars
a week, and after that he was never
able to meet his obligations at the
store.
