HON. C. X. LANEY

Senator Lancy is chairman of the
important committees of Education
and Military Affairs. Mr.. Laney is
very much interested in education in
this State and in appropriations for
rural schools. He is the author of an
act to allow agriculture to be taught
IN the common schools of this State.
Senator Laney is, perhaps, the best
!erscd man in South Carolina on the
present insurance muddle. He was
one of the co-authors of the Laney-
Odom Act passed during the last ses-
sion and was appointed by Gov. Man
ming on the committee to investigate
and report on an insurance code. He
is willing to offer every inducement
to the insurance companies to return
to this State and conduct their busi-
ness in legitimate manner, but he
stands fOur-square on the broad prn..
ciple that the State Of South Caro-
lima, through her sovereign powers,
has right to protect her citizens
from unjust determinations and that
the State alone must have the right to
say when an insurance rate is dis
criminatory or unjust Senator Laney
has introduced batch Of bills in the
Senate carrying out his ideas and the
ideas of the joint committee appoint
ed by Gov. Manning, and it is be-
lieved that these will be enacted into
law. The prospects are, that after
the present session of the General AS
sembly has adjourned, that the in
surance situation in South Carolina
will be clarified; that the insurance
companies will return to this State,
but, at the same time, that the rights
of the citizens of the State will. be
fully protected.

demand of the American market for
potash, according to expert authority.
For fertilizer this potash is indis-
pcnsable and Mr.. Lever is doing a
great work for the country at large
by getting these government appro-
prlations to manufacture potash from
kelp, or seaweed.
On the same day Mr.. Lever intro
duced an amendment to add $4,000

CONGRESSMAN LEVER ON

Hon. A. F. Lever, of South Caro-
lima, chairman of the committee on
Agriculture, has very responsible
position in congress and is discharg-

A very interesting discussion was
had in Congress recently upon the
question of an appropriation for the
investigation and demonstration to
obtain potash. A plant is to be erect
ed on the Pacific coast, where potash
is to be manufactured from kelp, or
seaweeds In the discussion it was

"The department is spending this
current year $4,000 in experimental
tions on the boil weevil-experimen
that have for their purpose the devel-

With Mr.. Lever at the head of this

all feel sure that he will leave moth

the power Of this committee to con.
quer this great enemy of the cotton
planters of South Carolina and the
South.

DOWN WITH sEcTIoNALIsm

DS"N Will SES ESlIONALISM
The administration of President
wilson has been such a complete sue
cess and so filled with great achieve
ments that the Republicans in their
efforts to discredit our great leader,
are resorting to desperate methods.
One OF them is to attempt to revive
the dead and buried sectional issues.
In the present session. of congress
Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, re-
Gently administered a severe and
needed rebuke to Senators who were
attempting to revive sectional ami
mostly, to malign the Southern
States. Senator Hardwick, who has
proved himself one of the ablest and
one of the most fair-minded states
men in congress, replying to those
criticisms said:
Il am very sorry always when any
Senator on either side of this chamber
uses his great position to create, or
tend to create in any way sectional
rivalries or jealousies or enmities
among the people of this country. I
thought that in this body, at least, the
day was past when statesmen of broad
mind and broad view could regard
that as fitting position for them to
occupy. Unfortunately there have
been periods in the history of this
country when that sort of thing was
all too common; but what we sow we
reap. We sowed hatred on the floors
of both these chambers of congress,
and we reaped whirlwind before we
finished. Surely the time has come
when the good people throughout this
country are sick and tired unto death
of all this talk about the North and
the South and the East and the West;
and surely the day has come when
the Senate of the United States, at
least, and in the Congress of our
common country, sentiments of that
sort are no longer popular, are no
longer right, and ought not to be and
will not be tolerated."
Senator Hardwick also administer
ed to Judge Hughes scathing re-
buke in this strong and truthful Ian
guage:
"To my great regret, almost to my
shame as an American citizen, this is
the first campaign in many years
in which | have seen even the Presi-
Dental candidate stoop from what I
consider his high place in order to re-
vivc, or attempt to revive sectional
feeling. The result was not crafty
ing to you on the Republican side 1t
was not pleasant to US. 1t seems to
me that the sooner we get away from
that sort of thing, and the farther we
keep away from it, the better off we
will be in all parts of this country,
North, East, South and West"
Every patriot will agree that these
words were fifty spoken and ought
to rejoice that the South has in the
Senate one with ability enough and
courage enough to stand up for the
South and to condemn those who ma
lign and defame her.
The South has just cause to be
proud of her Senatorial representa-
tives and none of them more than
Georgia's junior Senator.
