In the afternoon we drove out to
Broadlands, new town. This is GER
tainly beautiful place, with few
scattering pine trees, which afford
beautiful building spots. Near this
town Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. Falls both
purchased themselves beautiful
farms. The National Highway passes
between them on the section line and
is the most beautiful drive in the
whole country. From these two
tracks of land, bought by Mr. Falls
and Mr.. Snyder, we counted eighteen
new houses completed or under way
which are being built by northern
men. This particular part of the
country has only been on the market
seven months, and gives us an idea
of how rapidly it is being bought and
improved by northern men. Mr.. Pen
nington and Mr. Pysher are so taken
up with the country that they also
purchased land for themselves and
we doubt If that part of our party
will ever return to Liberal or not.
We are going to bring back speci-
mems from this country and will have
them on display somewhere in Liberal
where folks can see what this country
actually produces. We saw fine reg
istered cattle and hogs and thousands
of sheep. We believe that this coun-
try affords more opportunities than
any country in the world. The land
is good, grows anything that is plant.
ed in it. Has good pure water, good
railroad right thru the tract now SELL
ing, a real California climate, cool
balmy breeze from the gulf. CHEAP

There are so many advantages of this
country that we can not attempt to
mention them all in this letter, and
land here is selling at the exception
ally low price of $500 per acre, and
terms to suit the purchaser. As we
have written a rather lengthy letter
we will close and talk to you more
in detail when we get home.
Some of our party are going to
New Orleans tonight, the rest of US
will be home about Thursday.

BYRNES LOSES HIS FIGHT.
Nitrate Amendment Not Attached to
Lever Bill.

Washington, May 2S.-Representa-
tive James F. Byrnes was defeated
today in his attempt to attach the
nitrate amendment to the Lever food
control bill. His motion to strike out
the language of the law which makes
his amendment not germane was lost
by majority of something like 112
to 81.
Chairman Lever, of the agricul-
tural committee, in charge of the bill,
voted against the Byrnes motion. All
the other South Carolinians voted for
it. Mr.. Lever felt committed to the
language of his own bill, but prom
ised Mr.. Byrnes to help him put the
nitrate amendment on a subsequent
food control measure.
The Aiken congressman believes
that he will yet manage to secure
consideration from the House on the
merits of his modification of Senator
Smiths proposition to have the gov
ernment furnish nitrate for the farm
er at cost.

Byrnes Fighting Hard.

Washington, May 26.-After be-
ing twice foiled by points of order
today in his effort to amend the
Lever food control bill by providing
s1O,00O,000 to be used by Secretary
of Agriculture in purchasing nitrate
and selling it to the farmers at cost,
Representative James F. Byrnes was
still fighting for the proposition when
the House adjourned this evening.
The sustained points of order were
that the Byrnes amendment was not
germane to the language of the para
graph in which it was to be inserted.
The third Byrnes motion was to strike
out the words which made the amend
ment not germane. If this motion
should prevail Monday it would be in
order to propose the Byrnes amend
ment on it's merits.
Leading the parliamentary fight
against the South Carolinan were:
Fitzgerald, of New York, Anderson,
of Minnesota, and Mann, of Illinois.
Judge Saunders, of Virginia, ably as
sisted the Aiken member.

FIRST AID FORGOTTEN.
Charleston Lessons GOOD Only in

\ first aid class in Charleston is
said 10 have gone into bankruptcy
since its last meeting. Called for
quiz by the examining physician. ac-
cording to the story reaching Cc!un-
bia Yesterday. the - or 80 ladies
present answered all questions per
fectly and showed conclusively that
they knew what to do in applying first
aid. The physician asked one Of the
ladies to hand him glass OF water
as the meeting proceeded but before
he could drink it he turned pale,
placed it on table and fell faintlng
to the floor. With one exception
every member Of the class rushed
from the room. The one remaining
tore sheet of blotting paper from
table, soaked it in water and placed
it under the doctors head before
following her companions and leav-
ing the physician alone and uncon-
scious on the floor. He remained in
this condition for some moments but
was finally able to stagger to his feet

Killed in Auto Accident.

Bishopville. May 27.-The usual
quiet of the country Sabbath was
rudely broken into today and the
whole country shocked when it be-
came known that in an automobile
accident. which had befallen the car
of Mr.. James E. D. McCutchen, Sr..
his wife had lost her life and Mr..
McCutchen himself and his only
daughter. Minnie, had sustained in
juries and shock that it is feared
may prove fatal to both, especially
to Mr.. McCutchen, who is nearly sew
enty years old.
The accident happened while re-
turning from services at old Mount
Zion church. Making sharp turn
in the road the front wheels ran into
a hole or washout and this caused
the car to turn turtle. The shock
was so great that Mrs. McCutchen
died almost instantly. Mr.. McCutch-
en- is suffering from shock and it is
feared that the daughter, who was
driving. and was pinned under the
motor is suffering from internal in
juries which may prove fatal.

Wood stated today that the list OF
sites is not yet completed. The de-
nartment is now devoting most OF lts
time TO finally determining on the
best camp sites.
Gen. Wood said today there was
little use of delegations visiting MIN
in nerson to advance the claims OF
their cites for training camps as
Mats and other data would suthce' II

most consideration. because the de-
nartment was just as anxious to get

Most Suspicious.

1T is a rule, to which most good
LAWYERS adhere observed a we'll
known attorney, never to tell more
than one knows. There was an in
cident in a Western town wherein
a lawyer carried the rule to the ex-
treme.
Counsel for one side objected to a
person whose name was on the courts
register for some purpose or other on
the ground that he was dead. The
counsel on the other side declined to
accept the assurance and demanded
conclusive testimony on the point.
'Whereupon counsel for the other
side arose and gave corroborative evil
dence as to the decease of the man in
question.
But, sir, how do you know the
mans dead?' demanded opposing
counsel.
".Well. was the reply, I don't
know. 1t is very difficult to prove.
"'As | suspected. You don't know
whether he's dead or not.
"'No, but l do know this-they
buried him about month ago on
suspicion! ''--Case and Comment.

Requires Only Little Time to Come
Into Full Effect, Says Writer.

London. May 26--The Westmins-

correspondent. who says the subma-
rine menace is being mastered by a
simple method. which the correspon-
dent indicates is the invention of an
American
1t is giving away no secret, the
correspondent writes, TO say that the
method which is reputed to be in

come into full effect and wear the
German submarines out. 1t is a
model OF simplicity. The press has
been liberal in its announcement of
Marconi's device. but while extend
ing encouragement to Marconi. it
must not be overlooked that the gen.
ius who perfected one of the most
monumental advances in maritime
navigation has devoted his unremit-
ting consideration to the menace and
this resourceful American, too, has
worked toward the device along in
dependent lines.
Asserting that the British have bet

BREED THEATRE
..Piasin isIand," Five Part Metro WonderPlay, Starring Harold Lock- wood and May Allison, Feature for Today and Thursday.


 Today and Thursday Harold Lock wood and May Allison will be seen on the screen at the Breed theatre in the five-part Metro wonderplay, 'Pidgin IslanG."
 The story, which has been pictur- ed by Fred J. Balshofer, from Harold McGrath's famous novel of the same name. is laid on the rugged shores of the Canadian border, where woods and waters form a wild scene making the proper background for the meeting of two such daring spirits as John and Diana Wynne, played by Miss AL isor.
 MT. Lockwood, as John Cranford, has one of the strongest parts of his entire career, and Miss Allison in the faSci- mating part of Diana Wynne, has an opportunity to fish, swim and hunt, and indulge generally in the out-of- door life which appeals to her so strongly.
 sPidgin Island" is a screen play for those who love adventure, romance, and the great outdoors.
 The famous Burton Holmes travel series and a roaring Christie comedy will complete the bill for today and Thursday.
 The management of the Breed has completed arrangements for the presentation of the mightiest picture of world conflict that the brain of man has yet conceived and realized The Fall of Nation" his pro- duction will be shown in the near fu- ture the announcement of which will appear in the daily papers.
