Very Patriotic People.

MIR. and Mrs. Z. j. Norris and
the editor of The Advertiser went
up to the Sullivan and Fruit Hill
schools Monday to present the War
Sayings Stamps to the good people
of that section. About ten O'Clock
a representative body of white peo-
pie gathered in the Sullivan school
house, the meeting being presided
over by Mr.. j. p. Sullivan, who re-
quested Mr.. Jasper j. Mayson to
offer a prayer. The occasion was a
very inspiring one. AS a result of
the rally pledges to the amount of
more than $1,000 were taken for
War Savings Stamps. The people
manifested such a loyal. patriotic
spirit. The committee from Edge.
field enjoyed every moment spent
with them. The ladies also organ
lied a War Savings Society.
We accepted an invitation to
take dinner at the beautiful and
very hospitable home of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. T. Sullivan near the school
house. We enjoyed a beautiful
feast, notwithstanding the fact
that Mrs. Sullivan made it conform
in every detail to Mr.. Hoover's
regulations. The great variety serv-
ed attested MIR. Sullivan's energy
and successful management, and the
beautiful manner in which it was
| served reflected great credit upon
! Mrs. Sullivan.
In the afternoon, accompanied by
MIR. J. P. sullivan, Mr.. s. w. Sui
|~livan, Mr.. &. r. Mayson, Mr.. Gus
VIM and several other patriotic
white citizens, the committee went
to meet the colored people at Fruit
Hill school house. They were
promptly on hand and likewise
manifest a loyal and patriotic spirit.
After the War Savings Stamps
Iwere explained to them, following
la patriotic appeal, they responded
generously, pledges being received
flor more than $4,000 worth of
stamps. We do not believe, consider

New Red Cross Auxiliaries.

On last Thursday afternoon Mr..
Shannonhouse, chairman of the Edge
field Red Cross chapter, went with
the extension committee to organ
lie an auxiliary at Roper's Cross
Roads. After short talks by Mr.. Shan
nonhouse and the ladies, the auXil-
larry officers were elected. Mrs. W. L.
Zimmerman was made chairman
Miss Sallie May Miller, secretary;
Miss Emmie Lanham, treasurer.
A very pleasant discussion of the
different departments of work now
being done by the chapter resulted
in a request for a number of gar
ments to be given at once to the aux
iliary.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. J. r.
Zimmerman again placed his car at
the service of the extension commit
tee, thus helping in the organization
of an auxiliary at Cleora.
A number of ladies assembled at
the schoolhouse, Sficers were elected
and a request made for immediate
work. The Cleora officers are: Mrs.
w. 7. Reel, chairman; Miss jamie
Reel, secretary; Miss Alma Williams,
treasurer.
The Edgefield chapter is happy to
welcome these two auXiliaries whose
enthusiastic interest at their initial
meeting gives promise of earnest,
faithful service to the Red Cross.

the Northwest is menaccd by the re-
ported plan of the railroad and fuel ad-
ministrations to send coal from Illi-
nois, Indiana and Arkansas to this ter
ritory in open cars, and then have the
cars returned empty, according to =
telegram sent Messrs. McAdoo and
Garfield to-day by the presidents of
four railroads here. The telegram
says that bringing coal from those
states is n transportation waste in any
kind Of car, because the rail haul is
600 miles, while the average haul from
Michigan and Superior docks is only
$50 miles.
The presidents explain that the pres
ent rail transportation scheme is ideal
because coal moves west from lake
docks in box cars which are sent back
loaded with farm products, and de-
clares that farmers cannot supply the
East and the Allies with grain if the
box cars arc taken from them. . 1t is
pointed out that the problem is one

"Patriotism and thrift demand that

the city and Of the counties amounts to
millions of dollars, and have no doubt
that the rank and file of the employees
will be glad Of this opportunity to do

Senate Gets Bill
Permitting Wilson
To Seize Property

WASHINGTON. March 2O.-Under
bill sent to the Senate Military Com
mittee by Acting Secretary of War
Crowell, the President would be en-
powered during the war t. take over
private property OF any kin /, personal
or real estate, with compensation for
the owner, whenever deemed necessary
for the national security or conduct OF
the government.
The chief object of the Legislation is
TO enable the government to get quick
possession of real estate, Office build
ings and other property needed in con-
nection with the conduct of the war
In a letter to Chairman Chamberlain
Mr.. Crowell said it is desirable to avoid
delays of condemnation, to save money
and at the same time do justice to
property owners.
The bill provides that the President
by proclamation or through any eXecu-
tive agency might designate property
to be taken over. 1t would be ap-
praised, and in case owners were not
satisfied. they would be paid rs pei
cent of the appraised value and the
Federal District Court would decide
disputes as to the balance.
Attorney General Gregory. Mr.
Crowell said, approves the Legislation
as most satisfactory to all concerned
He said at present laws limit and EN-
barrass the government in securing
property needed. He pointed out thai
there is no power, under the nationa
defence act, to enforce preferential or
ders upon manufacturing establish
ments for materials on hand or to be
manufactured in the future, while un
der the food and fuel control law EN-
barrassment has been caused by limita
tions in securing property.

By Ralph Block

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The sat-
irists of the Senate are not always of
the keenest edge, but they do manage
to add color to the dun stretches of
legislation. Satire for Senator is the
snap Of his mind, stretched taut too
long on the dull banalitics of some of
his colleagues or across the intricacics
of constructive craftsmanship. 1t usu-
ally comes in odd and unexpected mo-
ments.
1t was Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
who did his share to-day toward the
amusement of the galleries. The Sena-
tor had been listening to another plan
to end the war which would not in
volve fighting, advanced by Senator
Owen, of Oklahoma. In the tiny ST.
lence that followed the end of Senator
Ovens address Senator Sherman adj
dressed the chair to the question of
pigs and their part in the stimulation
of food sources. Doubtless the Con-
gressiona Record will show more ele-
gancies Of speech than this hasty
transcription but at least in effect this
was what Senator Sherman had to say:
II have noticed many places around
Washington where pig pens might be
comfortably installed without any det-
riment to the public health. The other
day l had forcibly called to my atten-
