FRANK LEVER SOME LEADER.
Wins Stubborn Fight for Administra'
tion i'm Conference Committee

Washington, August 2.-Represen-
taive Lever, chairman of the house
conferees on the food control BILL
emerged from that committee this
afternoon worn and haggard in an-
pearance, but with a smile on his face.
He had won the great fight of this
season as between the senate ana
house. Sitting almost day and might
for week he had cautiously and
shrewdly sized up the senate situation
and yesterday with the whip hand,
read the ultimatum to the senate. 1t
seemed as if he was playing dang
erous game, but his daring was vind1-
Gated today when the conferees met
again and on poll of the senate posi-
tion-Senator Smith of South Caroii-
ma. Smith of Georgia, chamberlain
OF Oregon (Democrat) and Senator
Warren of Wyoming (Rdpublican)
coming over udO dS1C0o IAA@1 hS IVA
ate provision for the war committee
which the president had denounced SC
vigorously, should go out. All other
provisions had been agreed upon.
Thi was the climax and end OF one
of the most spectacular fights in the
history of congress. Photographers
stood outside to catch the pictures OF
the men who are making histoy.
1t was a Democratic victory under
the leadership of the Seventh District
representative. He is receoving the
hearty congratulations both of the
senators and representatives where
ever he goes tonight.
Of peculiar interest to South Caro-
lima is the nitrate amendment. 1t was
largely due to the quiet influence OF
the house that caused them to agree
to join in the report favoring the pro-
position.

cotton will take their turn in every
well planned farm.
The scant oat crop should be hus-
banded for seed this year. No oats
are as good for planting in the South
as those grown in the South, especially
if they are grown in the region where
they are to be planted. The same is
true of wheat unless in given Sec
ton the best variety for that section
has Lot yet been used.
Good seed should be ordered early.
Unless fertilizers are ordered early,
so that dealers can ship only in full
carload lots it is quite probable that
farmers will be disappointed when
seeding time comes. The railroads
will probably have more than they can
do even with full carload shipments.
It is a national necessity to see that
no freight car space is wasted

TIE PEOPLE CONSTITUTE
THE GOVERNMENT WITH Us
Charleston American.

Charleston American.
1t was rather a presumptious
meeting held in Columbia Tuesday by
the so-called Stae Council of Defense.
It undertook to lecture those who
dare to differ with the policies of the
administration, and to denounce them
as disloyal to the government of the
United States. These enlightened
statesmen, consisting of such hlga-
brows as Mannings, seem to confuse
the administrator" of government
with the government itself. No doubt
Governor Manning believes that he is
the government, and not merely the
governor of South Carolina. Fortu-
nately he will become an ex-governor
next year, but the government will
go on forever.
AS to Mr.. CoKer and the other IN
dignant patriots who are about to
start campaign of education for war.
they too, while all estimable and
honorable men, are identified with the
national administration, but are not,
after all. the government of the
United States.
Perhaps it might be well to give
these learned propagandists a few
primary lessons in what is govern
ment. to which citizens owe loyalty IN
this land of blessed liberty. We owe
allegiance to our Institutions, not to
mere transcient, accidental and easi-
II dispensable persons who run the
government. Back of these institu-
tions are the sovereign people, whose
power founded and whose right in
the language of the Declaration OF
Independence it is to "alter or baol-
ish'' them whenever in their srover-
eign judgment they deem it wise.
These institutions which the peo-
ple founded are "butted, bounded and
surrounded on all sides by certain
guarantees of liberty intended prima-
xily to remove from the mere persons
and administration of government
the character of sacrosant Not ev-
en- George Washington, the first and
greatest, of our Presidents-wnose
name, as Jefferson said. is entitled to
the "fairest page of faithful history"
and who was president of the con-
vention which framed the constitution
and who, therefore, must be presumed
to know something of what that doc
rInent meant, imagined that he was
the government and that the sover-
eign citizenry owed loyalty to him.
Lest the idea might grow tina we were
a nation subject to men ana not insti-
tutions. he declined to allow himself

Rats and Fires.

At a time when everyone is COM
planning of the high cost of living 1t
might be we'll to see If we cannot elm
mate two great sources of waste-fres
and rats.
Most fires are needless. All rats
are so. Some years ago a study Of the
rat problem in Philadelphia arrived at
the conclusion that the rodents Of that
city ate more than q million dollars
worth of food each year. At that rate,
the disgusting creatures can hardly
cost less than $1O0,OO0,O00 per year
10 the whole country. This is pref
ty high price to pay for the compan-
ionship of impish pests which, besides
their other bad habits, undermine
floors and carry the most dreaded Of
all diseases, bubonlc plague.
Yet fires are more expensive than
rats. In 1915-the last year for which
figures are at hand-the American
people paid out in premiums for fire
insurance $419,361, 346. OF this vast
sum at least three-fourths could be
saved by reducing our fire record to
the rate prevailing in England, France
or Germany; and even In our time and
nation S300,000,O00 per year is saw
ing worth noting, and one which
would have a perceptible effect on the
cost of living.

Such warning symptoms as sense Of

gether, when they expected to tread the
path Of life, hand in hand, until its
close.
Then again she began thinking of
Ravengar, the mysterious man who
seemed to come so opportunely into
ner Of Jerry. She knew that If 1t
had not been for the memory of her
dead lover, she could have cared for
Ravengar But when she turned to
Jerry's letters Ravengar faded into a
phantom.
No, 1t was Jerry who possessed her
heart, and soul, and memory, and must
until life ended. But she thought ten
derby of the other, too. He had saved
her life when the lighthouse was
struck, and that established bond be-
tween them. If she could keep that
bond one of friendship only!
And she began living over again
those awful hours In Pilot Light, and
the scene rose up wildly before her
again.
| The fash which had shaken the
structure from its base and buried the
lighthouse keeper and his wife deep In
the ruins had passed them by owing to
an extraordinary chance. While Lee
ontine and Ravengnr were seated In
their room the lamps began to go out.
Ravengar went down into the cellar
TO get more OIL.
Reaching up for can, he had mad
vertently knocked down another can
aud this brought down third and
fourth. They fell into his arms, and
he was caught like man In the story
with an armful of eggs. He could
neither replace them nor set then
down.
LaughIngly, he shouted up to Leon
tine to come and assist him. Sh'
heard him, and went down to his aid
took the cans from him and places
them upon the shelf. AS they turned L
20 up the stairs the lighthouse wa
struck.
As they crouched under the shock
Ravengar shielding Leontlne with hi
arms, u huge piece Of masonry cam
down, blocking the exit. The Who'll
lighthouse was going to pieces. The
followed n final rendlng, and the
were thrown to their knees and pinne
under "a. wooden snoring.
