Thus far the new republic includes

The Albanians. accustomed to sum-

regime, and considerable unsupported
oratorical talent has been discovered
in this land where power only has

The idea Of forming the Skipetar
Republic is due to Colonel Descoins.

mand Of the post he called all the
notables Of the town together and
talked to them in this vein:
"Skipetars, my friends, until De-
cember, 1912. you suffered under
the Greek army that mistreated you;
then until March. 1914. you became
familiar with the Inconvenience Of
Greek civil administration; in July,
1914, 1t was the noxious buffoonery Of
Prince de WED that was imposed up
on you; in December, 1915, 1t was
again the Greek military occupation;
in October. 1916. 1t was the Greek
royalist civil administration. and in
lowed in December by the French
military occupation with Greek civil
authorities. You ought to have
enough Of all these experiments, and
I have a very simple suggestion to
make to you. Why don't you govern
yourselves? You are Albanians. Be
Albanians, then, and. nothing else.
Cease all intrigues and occupy your.
selves with your own self-government.
French troops are here to defend the
territory. that's all. Be honest men,
I'll be the gendarme.'

A FINE TRIBUTE

When they were disputing in CON
gress the other day about the cause of
the Democratic triumph in the recent
election Congressman Fitzgerald gave
this as the explanation:
''The President was reelected be-
cause his administration of the affairs
of the United States has been the
most successful, the most statesman
like, the most progressive and the
most admired of any President since
the time of Washington.
AS Mr.. Fitzgerald is the chairman
of the great committee on appropria-
tions and is one of New York's great
est statesmen, his eulogy of the Presi-
dent is an evidence of the high regard
in which President Wilson is held by
leading men of the nation.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating calo-
mel when SO cents buys a bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect sub
stitute for calomel.
1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver Just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't mall,
you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It ia
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take dose Of nasty calomel to-day
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose day's
work. Take spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more bilious

ache, coated tongue or sour stomach.

A GOOD MOVEMENT

On another page appears the an
nouncement of an important meeting
to be held in Pageland on Monday,
January 8th.
This meeting is arranged by the
c. & l.. and S. A. l.. Railway Com
panies and is part of an extensive
movement for industrial improve
ment in all the territory traversed by
the Seaboard Airline Railroad.
1t is said that much of the soil be-
tween Chesterfield and Pageland is
we'll adapted to the growing of water
melons and cantaloupes, but the
marketing facilities for these pro-
ducts have been lacking. 1t is under
stood that the railroads mentioned
will offer to find the market if sufii-
cient lands can be pledged for the
growing of these crops. 1t is also
said that the S. A. l.. will supply the
farmers with seed.
We believe it will amply repay the
farmers of this section to attend this
meeting.

VELVET BEAN

Clemson College, S. c., Dec. -.
With the steady and rapid increase in
he acreage planted in Velvet Beans
IN this state, there are many inquiries
Tor information regarding this crop.
The Velvet Bean has been grown in
Florida for over 40 years, but first
only as an ornamental plant. AS soon
rs its value as forage and soil inn
proving crop became known, expert
mcntS were made to compare it's value
with the better known leguminous
'ropS, peanuts and cowpcas. AS a

farmers AT present are not as familiar

feed the additional stock which must
necessarily take the place Of much Of

drainage, vegetable matter is the
most important thing in building up
our soils. The leguminous crops, ow-
ing TO their nitrogen gathering prop
critics are the most valuable for SUD-
plying humus to the soils. The velvet
bean, owing to the enormous amount
Of growth will outrank all other le-
sumes in supplying this needed veg
ctablc matter. In addition to it's val

forage crop. The seed can be ground

MINORITY LEADER MANN

Congressman Gardner, of Massa-
chusetts, wants to rcpudiate the lead
ership of Cor ;ressman Mann, the,
minority lead.rbe trouble with
Mr.. GardnSS, mat he cannot realize
that hughes was defeated and Wilson
elected. Mr.. Gardner thinks, or
thinks he thinks that Mr.. Mann is too
quick to accpet results of the late
election. Mr.. Gardner wants to su-
persede Mr.. Mann as leader in the
House of the Republican party. His
candidate is Congressman Len-rooL,
OF Wisconsin, (not related, by the
way, to Ex-senator Elihu Root, Of
New York;. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Mann will retain the leadership Of
the Republican party in Congress as
he has shown himself to be more lib
eral in his views than some other Re-
publicans in congress.
AS sample of Mr.. Mann's kind
ness of heart and freedom from po-
litical prejudice we quote the kind re-
marks he made upon the occasion of
the first anniversary Of the marriage
of the President. Mr.. Mann said:
"Mr. Speaker, the beauty of Amcri-
can politics is that we accept the re-
suits and retain friendly personal re-
lations. Mr. Wilson has been re
elected President Of the United
States. | did not contribute in that

very important day in his life, and ]
wish to felicitate him and Mrs. Will
son on the happy union which occur
red one year ago and to wish for them
a continuance Of that happiness and
long and pleasant life"
Another instance of Mr. Mann's
broad mind. and liberal heart, is the
reference he made to the long service
in congress Of Mr. Page, of North
Carolina, who is voluntarily retiring
from congressional life. We quote
from the Congressional Record:
