SENATE PASSES
BILL Of RIGHTS
FOR AMERICANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. s.
The senate this afternoon adopted an
amendment to the revenue bill author
izing the president by proclamation to
deny the use of the mails, express,
telepraph, wireless or cable facilities
to citizens of nations which do not ac-
cord to American citizens all the ia.
cilities of commerce, including un-
Pampered traffic in mails. The reso-
luton was introduced by Senator Phe
len, of California.
1t is declared the resolution is aimed
particularly at British interference
with American mails.
Another amendment adopted during
the days session authorizes the presi-
dent, during any war in which the
United States is not engaged to with
hold clearance papers from all vessels
which discriminate against American
shippers, to withhold from the ships

corded other nations from American
ships and to use the army and navy
i necessary to prevent the departure
Of offending vessels from ports of the
United States.
This resolution is not aimed partic
ularly at any nation, but is declared 70

eign bottoms departing from the Unit
ed States, which in the past have re-
served certain cargo comparth for
freight to be taken on board in Can
ada and other countries.
The senate after adopting the two
amendments above referred to agreed
that final vote should be taken upon
the completed measure before adjourn
ment tonight. The passage of the bill,
which now seems certain, will open
the way for adjournment not later
than Thursday.
The adoption of the senate amend
ments created CONSERVATION among
the Entente Allies diplomatic corps
here, it being declared that their en-
actment into law would mean nothing
less than non-intercourse between the
United States the European belligerent
ssnations. The act was characterized BY
some as preliminary to beginning a
commercial warfare with far-reaching
possibilities, and there were energetlc
assurances that vigorous protests
would be made if the amendments be-
come law, inasmuch as the Entente
governments have heretofore decide /
upon relatiatory legislation in protec-
ton Of their own interests. Most of the
z4eytraints upon commerce, howeve' :,
have been imposed by diplomatic pro-
eedure which correspondence has been
unable to have removed, and it was,
therefore, generally expected both the
amendments would be put through
with the revenut bill.

THREE MEETINGS.
On BOIL MEEV|[.
FOR THIS WEEK.

Boil .Weevil Preparedness" was the
subject of the lecture at the Chamber
OF Commerce offices last night by Dem
obstrator J. G. oliver. A meeting Of
citizens was held and large number
were present. MIR. Oliver illustrated
his lecture by stereopticon views of the
Ipest-how he first makes his appear
ance, and his different stages, to-
gether with pictures of his work of de-
struction.
Gradually the menace is becoming
apparent to the people of this section
and the work of Mr.. Oliver now is
mainly to interest the farmer and bus
mess man to proper realization OF
preparedness in battling the boil wee
vii. One suggestion was that all farm.
ers turn under their stalks this fall be-
fore frost, which will have a great ten
dency to deter the work of the weevil.
Several talks were made on actual
experience and sights as to the work
of the weevil. They were distressing
stories of the damage brought about by
the pest. Demonstration Oliver said
that this county and section could
make one-half bale of cotton to the
acre if they followed the directions
and instructions of the competent ali
thorities which the state and federal
government had in the field.
The fight on the boil weevil is grad
uaily getting under way in Sumter
county. The lions share of the work
| is placed upon the shoulders of Dem
onstrator Oliver, and to him goes the
praise for the progress already made
With the cooperation of the people
and especially the farmer and bus;
ness man, Sumter county would not
fsuffer materially under the blows yl
the boil weevil.
Three Meetings Now.
Three meetings will be held this
week. The time, place and dates are:
Tuesday night, O'Clock, New Era
School House.
Thursday night, o'clock, Concord
| School House.
Friday night, o'clock, Plains.
Every citizen is expected to DIDO his
part in this great work.

DO 1T NOW!

There is an urgent need at this
time for funds to assist the dependent
families of soldiers who are now at
the front. 1t is a deplorable fact that
this great government is wasting the
public funds in pork barrep legisla-
ton while the families of her soldier
boys suffer from hunger and want. To
guard against this very contingency
a tidy sum was subscribed by our cit
liens prior to the departure of Co.
D, but all available funds have been
exhausted. The matter of collecting
this money has been neglected, the
committee having their time taken up
by the press of business cares and de-
pending upon the subscribers to come
forward each month with their quota
Steps should be taken at once, not
alone by those who subscribed to this
fund, but by every citizen, to see that
these families lack nothing in the way
of supplies and necessary money for
rents and other needs. From what we
can learn the soldiers have received no
compensation for their services up to
this time and as a consequence have
been unable to provide for the loved
ones at home. The need is imperative
and relief must be provided at once.
Let everyone get busy. Do it now.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

While our schools are being con-
Quoted very satisfactorily, we believe
many of the problems in mathematics
are not practical. Why not have prob
lens useful in everyday life? For in
stance, like the following:
If it takes a boy twelve years of
age twenty-five minutes to bring in
six small sticks of wood, a distance OF
seventeen feet, how long will it take
him to travel a mile to see a circus
show procession?
A woman places four pounds of cold
meat and eight slices of bread before
a tramp. At the end of 20 minutes
how much is left7
A housewife sold a coat to a ped
dler for a vase worth nine cents, a
pair of boots for a china dog worth
six cents, and vest for glass bottle
worth four cents. How much did she
receive for all and how much over SO
clear profit did the peddler make?
A man pays thirty cents for three
pounds of evaporated apples and gets
them to an orphan asylum. Does he
gain or lose, and how much?
Two females, each 80 years of age,
ale SlILIllS Oii SOld. 1SclIIlcI VI CIlGlu
has husband One is worth hun
dred thousand dollars and the other
teaches a district school Which is
the unmarried lady and which is the
old maid?
A man winks his eye an average of
10000 times a day and a woman's
tongue makes $4,000 motions every
twenty-four hours. At this rate how
long will it take the man to catch up?
If it costs 5000 for young lady to
learn painting and she turns out two
landscapes worth 40 cents apiece,
what is the net profit
1t takes twenty blows of hammer
IN the hands Of woman to drive a
ten-penny nail three inches She
misses the nail twice where she hits
once. How many blows does she
strike in all, and how far can her
voice be heard when she strikes her

A few weeks ago two girls, 10 and
16, stepped up to The information desk
at one of the New York railroad sta

across the counter.
"Can you tell US how to reach that
address," they asked.
The information man was about to
direct them when the wording of the
advertisement caught his eye. 1t was
clipped from country newspaper and
offered an opportunity for girls Of
ambition to go on the stage. The ad-
dress given was in disreputable part

GENERAL. Won KLUCK !

An interesting report current in
Germany and brought over to America
by a young American doctor who has
been serving in the German army hos
pitfalls is that General Won Kluck is
soon to take the field again, this time
on the east front, in command of a
new army. The story which gained
wide circulation, had it that Won
Kluck, now entirely recovered from
the wound he received in the early
days of the war on the west front, was
to be placed between General Won
Bothmer in eastern Galicia and Gen
eral Won Linsingen in Volhynia. Ger
man military men expected him to
stiffen considerably the resistance to
the Russians.

The passage of the eight-hour law

The passage of the eight-hour Law
may be of service in averting the i'm
pending calamity of nationwide
railway strike. But lodging calami
ty is not settling it or preventing it:
return. Similar situations will arise
in the future to perplex the nation
They will arise also, as they have
arisen during the present year, with
ruinous effects in various great com
munities. New York has settled one
transportation strike, or at least has
averted it for the time. Hardly has
the smoke of that affair cleared away
before the threat of walkout in an.
other branch of the rapid transit sys.
tenn looms up. .
The present-may we call, it pass.
ing-situation between the railways
and the government might have been
should have been, foreseen. But il
was a problem in which vested inter
ests and political fortunes were deep
~ involved. Statesmen preferred tc
await an evil day for themselves
Thus the country barely escapes, "by
the skin of it's incisors," a calamity OF
ruinous and widespread effect.
Various ways of protecting the pub
lic-the third party in disputes that
tie up our public utilities-have been
proposed and discussed They range
all the way from compulsory arbitra-
ton to government ownership. Most
present leaders of public affairs are
openly in favor of neither of these ex-
tremes. Senator Newlands, for in
stance, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee of the upper
chamber of Congress, maintains that
compulsory arbitration reduced to
lowest terms means involuntary servi-
tude. On the other hand, he is oppos-
ed to government ownership until reg
ulation is a proved failure
We merely state the problem-the
problem of dependency of the public
upon interrupted utility service. We
merely insist that the suffering of the
third party to these disputes is wrong
and intolerable. We merely point out
that the time to provide for these pos
slble calamities is before they happen.

HAVE YOU A LADDER?

This is a very practical question
asked by the editor of the Louisiana
Agricultural College. He further
asks:
eff your home should catch fire to-
day, or worse, tonight, have you lad
der handy to get on the roof? Many
Of the fires in the country start from
sparks setting fire to the roof; a
bucket or two of water would ex-
tinguish the blaze and prevent the de-
struction of the house, but how to get
on the roof is often no trifing mat
ter. Every one owning house sho:lld
have a good ladder and keep it in a
convenient place for use in case Of
