COLE L. RLEASE WILL
FURNISH BRAVE BRIGADE
Within 30 Days, Provided Men are
Permitted te Select Their Own Oifi-
GERS, From Commander to Corporal.

Columbia, April Pin proof Of
my good faith, if those who hold the
properly constituted authority will
guarantee to me that they will allow
my men to elect their own otncers, l
will undertake to, and l believe that l
can, furnish within 80 days, as brave
a brigade of men as ever marched
upon a field of battle said former
Governor Blease today, in an inter-
view in which he opposes the plan OF
conscription for raising war army,
and strongly advocates the volunteer
plan. 81 do not ask to appoint the
officers" he said, NOR do l ask for
any Office myself. All that l ask is
that the men who volunteer to 60
into this brigade with me be allowed
to select their own officers"
In view of the discussion in con-
gress upon this question, and OF the
divergent views which are expressed
in South Carolina, the former gov
ernor was asked for statement.
Conscription sUndemocratic.
81 think conscription is cruel, un-
fair, undemocratic and against the
entire spirit of our Institutions, he
said. every war that this country
has ever fought has been won by the
volunteer soldier. When Patrick
Henry delivered his great speech, the
volunteer responded to the sentiment,
"Give me liberty or give me DEATH,
and established our independence.
In 1912. when again it became neces-
sary for our nation to engage IN bat
tie, the volunteer soldier came to the
front, and again American arms were
victorious. In the Mexican war,
Cherubusco and the Alamo were made
famous by the volunteer, and 1t IS
needless for me to say one word III
reference to the War Between the
States. All the northern historians
are loud in their praises OF the vol
unteer springing from the fields and
from the towns, like ants from red
hill, in response to Lincoln's call, and
all the world knows and forever VIII
know the gallantry displayed by the
soldiers of the southern Confederacy
who were volunteers In the Spanish
American war the volunteers from the
south, uniting with the volunteers
from the north, gave Cuba her inde'
pendence and carried the Stars and
Stripes to victory in battles which are
Still so fresh in our minds that We
can almost hear the echo Of the guns.

NO SATISFACTORY
WEEVIL CATCHER
Writes State College President-All
County Agents Should Warn
Farmers Against Fakes.
Athens, Ca, February Is.

Athens, Ca, February Is.
To the Farmers of Georgia: Sew
eral county agents have written me
with reference to mechanical devices
for catching the weevil. In response
thereto, have prepared the follow
ing letter:
In so far as we have been able to
gather, there is no mechanical de.
vice on the market for catching boil
weevils which has proven either eff
Gent or satisfactory. Hundreds of
such devices have been put forward
and | believe good many of them
have been patented. They have been
extensively used and exploited by
many agencies in other states, but
they have all proven unreliable. The
government has issued warnings con-
corning this matter on many occa-
sions, hence we believe that agents
should bear these facts carefully in
mind and not be led to endorse ma
chimes which it is claimed will catch
and destroy the weevil. We believe
that a county agent who tells the
truth about this matter and informs
the farmers and thus protects them
from misrepresentation and the pay
ing out of large sums of money for
worthless machines, is performing a
most important public service work.

COLLECTOR PAYS $500
FOR A POSTAGE STAMP
1t Is Relic of the First Series Issued

1t Is Relic of the First Series Issued
by United States in 1s47.
A United States postage stamp
which is seventy years old, said to
be the only copy in existence, sold in
New York recently for 5000, a price
declared to be the highest ever paid
for an American stamp in this coun-
try. A New York capitalist was the
purchaser.
In the government archives at
Washington this stamp was found
among package of dusty documents.
1t is one of the first series which the
United States postal authorities is
sued, in 1847, after the discontinue
anceN of the practice Of individual
postmasters printing their special

to that which has been enacted bv the
legislature OF West Virginia. This law
prohibits the shipping and transport
ing OF liquor into the state by any
fundamentally.
The only way a person can bring
liquor into West Virginia legally is to
bring it in his grip, and then only one
quart at time can be thus brought
IN for the law prohibits person from
having more than a quart on hand
at any time, and then the LIQUOR must
be Kept and consumed in the home.
There are many other stringent
features of the West Virginia laws,
one of which is that they provide for
a prohibition commissioner to have
charge of the enforcement of the
laws and to direct all prosecutions
growing out of their violations.
New Office to Be Created.
If the new office is not combined
with an existing Office the law will
most likely leave the appointment OF
the commissioner up to the governor
In that event it is believed by many
that Governor Harris will appoint
Thomas B. Fielder of Atlanta, who
has been prominent in prohibition ac.
tivities during the past two years.
In some quarters there is an ap.
prehension that the law will meet
with opposition from many of the so.
licitors of city and superior courts in
the state. These officials, it is said
may view the creation of the office OF
prohibition commissioner as a ref1ec.
ton upon them and as implying that
they are not faithfully performing
their duties in prosecuting violators
of the liquor laws.
Solicitors May Oppose.
1t is also feared that some of these
solicitors may resent the taking away
from them of the fees which arise in
their courts.
Mr.. Fielder is strongly in favor OF
the creation of the office of prohibi.
ton that this is the only way to eff
fectively enforce the prohibition
laws, and points to the results &C.
complished in those states which have
such officers.

CONGRESSMAN FALL
FOR WOMAN'S JOKE
FIRST COMPASSIONATE I'M.
PERSONATED BY ANOTHER.
GETS BIG RECEPTION.

WASHINGTON, D. CA hoax
played on members of the house and
the crowded galleries in the dying
hours Of Congress today over-shadow-
ed the singing, cheering and speech
making that mark the end of every
session.
1t all centered about interest in
Miss jeanette Rankin of Montana,
the first woman ever elected to the
United States Congress-, who will
take her seat in the next house. She
was expected today, but did not ar
rive, and Mrs. George w. Edmonds,
wife of Representative Ednaonds of
pennsylvania, received the Humorous
ovation that awaited her. So well
did Mrs. Edmonds play her role that
hundreds of persons who shook hands
with her IN an impromptu reception
which she held after announcement
from the floor of the presence of
Miss Rankin, went away unaware of
her real identity.
Representative Britten of Illinois.
by Encouragement with Mrs. Ed
monds, perpetrated the hoax. Half
an hour after Speaker Clark had adj
Journed the session and after the US
ual singing and jollification, Mr.. Brit
ten passed word to Representative
Gallivan of Massachusetts, that Miss
Rankin was in the chamber. CALI
van sprang to the top of table, an
nounced that the first congresswom-
an" was present, and named Repre-
sentative Britten to escort her to the
front.
Tremendous applause followed as
Mrs. Edmonds walked down toward
the speaker. Acknowledging the
greeting with bow, she said in clear
tones:
my friends, l prefer to make nv
first speech in the next house."
Bowling again she sat down. From
every part of the chamber members
and their wives and children-the
floor being open to families by this
time-rushed over to greet the "con-
gresswoman." Mrs. Edmonds began
shaking hands with smiles and thanks
and the galleries turned their entire
attention to the demonstration which
lasted some time until Mrs. Edmonds
finally stepped away.

BARS ARE Up AGAINST
LIQUOR IN THE SOUTH
is ARID TERRITORY EXCEPT
FLORIDA, LOUISIANA AND
TEXAS-SIX STATES.

The Reed amendment, passed by
congress, which makes absolute the
statewide prohibition legislation of
Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
DINA, Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi, allows liquor in quantities to be
imported only into Florida, Louisiana
and Texas. Tennessee and Arkansas
are not affected by the federal law as
they already had passed "bone dry
laws, which now are further fortified
by the recent enactment.
The Florida legislature, which con-
venes in April, is expected to adopt
a resolution for a referendum on
statewide prohibition, although there
are only five counties in which liq-
uor may be sold legally at the pres
ent time. Louisiana forces are pre-
pairing for a prohibition fight in the
legislature in 1918. Already half of
Louisiana is dry. Texas recently lost
a chance to become dry by failure of
legislative measure.
Remainder of South Dry.
Virginia became dry on Novem-
Der l, 1916, by a 10000 majority.
North Carolina became a prohibition
state on January /, 1909, by $4,000
majority. South Carolina has been
dry since January 1, 1908. Alabama
enlisted under the prohibition banner
in 1915. Mississippi has stopped the
manufacture and sale of liquor since
1908. Arkansas became "bone dry"
by a majority of $4,000 in 1915.
Tennessee adopted prohibition in
1915 and became "bone dry" on
March l, 1917.

INTERESTING MEETING AT
The CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The Collis-R oatright meetings at
the Christian church have been at
tracing record breaking crowds
during the past week. From the
very first the house has been filed
with people and deeply spiritual
atmosphere has prevailed. Sunday
night the other churches in the city
dismissed their services and the
crowd overhowed into the Bible
School annex. 1t is the common
comment that Mr.. Coils is doing
even better preaching than when he
was here three years ago. And Mr..
BOatright has been a wonderful
success as song leader, as well as
touching all hearts by his solos. A
number of additions to the church
have already resulted from the
meetings and the baptistery is be-
ing used each night. The revival
will continue at least over next
Sunday.
