THE RIGHT OF PETITION.

When the American Loyalists had
won the Revolutionary Wal they
adopted a constitution for the gov
eminent of the states forming the
union. Recognizing that the con-
stitution was not perfect they pro-
vided for amendments to suit the
demands of the people. The first
amendment adopted by the states
provides:
congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment OF
religion, or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; or a.
bridging the freedom of speech,
:. or of the press; or the right
of the people peacefully to as
semble, and to PETITION
THE GOVERNMENT FOR RE-
DRESS OF GRIEVANCES"
In 1895 the people of South Caro-
lima demanded another constitution.
There was a similar provision in the
old constitution, as there is in the
constitution of every other COM
monwealth in the union, so far as
we are informed. Abbeville' Coun-
ty sent to the constitutional con-
vention l.. H. McCalla, Frank B.
Gary, Robert R. Hemphill, R. F. Nc
Caslan, W. C. MCGOWAN and James
C. KIugh. They along with the
delegates from other counties con-
structed \ a constitution which the
people adopted. In Article l OF
that constitution, embodying the
Bill of Rights, it is provided:
h. The General Assembly shall
: Mmake no law----------------
&kridging ----------the right
6f the people peacefully to as
semble and to petition the
Government OR ANY DE-
PARTMENT THEREOF FOR
REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
We may be a little hazy on his
tory but if our recollection serves
us right, when Thomas Jefferson
penned the Declaration of indie
pendence, one of the grievances set
forth was that we had petitioned
the English Government for relief
and they had turned a deaf ear to
our ~entreaties.
So highly is the right of petition
regarded that it has even been sug-
gested in this state by those whose
loyalty cannot be questioned that
no man should be allowed to run in
a democratic primary unless he
first files a petition signed by a
certain number of voters asking him
to run. In some states, we believe.
it is a law of party management
that this must be done.
And everywhere, and in all lands,
where freedom is respected, the
people have acknowledged the right
of the people to petition the au-
thorities that be for relief. This
right carries with it the right to Pc
tition for anything else not forbid
den by law. Nobody except the
King of England in the eighteenth
century, despots in public. office, and
the Abbeville Medium, has ever
looked upon the right of petition
with disfavor.
The County Executive Committee
is the government of the Democra-
tic party in Abbeville County. Ger
tain taxpayers in Abbeville believed
that they had grievances against the
way business has been run in Abb
b%eville, and they petitioned the
government of the party for a pri-
mary in order that the business of
the city should not be turned over
to a few men to be run without
regard to the wishes of the people
generally. Are they guilty of trea-
son?

under the petition filed will have an

1t is no doubt true that Abbeville
and every other community suffers
from factionalism. But what is
responsible for factionalism? The
effort of n crowd to hold all the
Offices, and of another crowd to
get them. The parties who vote to
keep certain people in office regard
less of efficiency, are as ~reprehensi-
BILE from the standpoint of faction
alism as those who vote to turn
them out regardless of efficiency.

The training OF bakers for service
at sea is a novelty In the merchant
service. 1t originated In the great
demand for skilled breadmakers on
the hundreds of new ships being built
by the shipping board for the govern
ment. Fundamentally II was prompt
ed by the requirements of the mod
ern sailors diet, which is vastly better
than his sea-going ancestors ever
dreamed of having.
In grandfather's day a ship took on
her supply of bread for a voyage In
casks, before leaving home. This sup
ply was to last until the end of the
voyage, though that might be a year or
two. The bread vas in the form of
hard biscuits. 1t kept fairly well
when dry, but often II got damp and
moldy. or wormy.
The old-time American sailors ideal
Of dietary luxury therefore was plenty
of soft" fresh bread. Coupled with
that he had daily visits of pies and
buildings such as mother made back
In Nantucket, or New London, or New
Bedford but these he tasted while
at sea In fancy only, for his sole des-
sert, after his meal of hard bread and
salt pork or beef. or of "scouse' or
"salt-horse" hash, was a portion once
a week or so Of duff. which n sailor
author of so years ago described as
nothing more than -four boiled with
water and eaten with molasses."

loaf could be sold at IL cents. with
a resulting profit of SIP on each bar
rel of wheat flour used, after 100 per
cent has been added to the cost Of pro-
ducing the bread for overhead" ex-
penses.
On the Meade the following COM
blnation has been tried successfully,
In quantities sufficient to make 90
two-pound l~oaves: rs pounds wheat
flour. five pounds cornstarch, five
pounds white cornmeal. five pounds
barley, five pounds rye, two pounds
corn sugar, two pounds rendered fat,
one can (pound) condensed milk. one
and a half pounds of salt and Is
ounces OF yeast.
The young sea bakers being trained
by the shipping board are under the
direction of skilled instructors, who
give them not only verbal advice. but
supply them with written directions
covering the more obvious points In
their new work.
Here are a few 'hints" issued TO the
student bakers on the Bradford:
To achieve success, the baker must
use judgment and care. Some flour
requires more water or milk than 9TH
ers. so that the quantity may have to
be varied to make dough Of a proper
consistency.
Different bakings will vary as to
time and heat required and should.
therefore, be examined occasionally.
To ascertain whether the bread or
cake Is sufficiently done In the CEN
ter Of the loaf. thrust a clean straw
or long. thin splinter into 1t IN
done. there win be no dough on IL
when drawn out.
Measure the -four and be careful to
mix with II the baking powder in a
dry state, and before sitting.
You can always substitute water for
milk or milk for water, butter for
lard or lard for butter.
In cake the number OF Eggs may be
increased or diminished. or In a plain
er cake dispensed with entirely.
Where fewer eggs are used than
directed, always use a little more bak-
Ing powder. Never use soul milk.
In baking loaf cake, remember that
unless you place a piece OF paper over
for protection at first. a top crust will
be formed at once, that prevents the
raising. When cake is well raised re-
move the paper for browning on top.

Any man whose ambition is to own
q whole town will have an opportunity
to satisfy his desire.
BY direction of Lord Staibridge, the
owner. the entire town OF SALISBURY,
England. will be put on the auction
block. including private houses. banks,
postoffices, stores, offices. hotels and
three saloons. The town is In a pic
turesque part of Derbyshire, perched
on a hill in the midst of rolling farm
country. The nearest railway station
is three miles distant, at Semley.
Sales of great estates are frequent
in these days. when taxes are eating
up profits and many of the younger
generation OF the nobility are losing
their lives on the battlefelds. This is
the first sale OF al entire town which
has been arranged.

appeals to the beginners, because of
the subtle and unseen influence OF
temperature and handling hat makes
for success or failure in breadmak-
Ing. Once the student masters this
part of the art, he finds the rest of
b~readmaking plain sailing.
Baking Is done In quantity. An or
binary baking oven on a training ship
VIII take 80 loaves at a time. The
average time for baking a batch of
bread is three-fourths Of an hour. On
the Meade the ovens work "a hours a
day, with three shifts of 80 students
each on the job.
War Recipes Used by Sea Bakers.
One reason why the sea bakers
bread is not exactly like the old-time
home product is that war recipes only
are now used on the merchant fleets,
as on land.
While these recipes restrict the use
Of wheat flour and require the use
of substitutes, they encourage initia-
tive on the part of the instructors
and their students In the shipping
boards breadmaking schools.
Experiments made by the sea bakers
with various combinations of ingre-
dents have produced some excellent
war bread, and also have shown some
interesting economical results.
On the Bradford, for example, a
standard bread has been produced by
the use of 70 per cent wheat flour
and % per cent of combined cornmeal
and potato -four. This is baked in
loaves Weighing a pound and a half
each. 1t has been found that this

had steadily improved. Now a sailor
lives as well as most workingmen
ashore, and better than many. He has
soft bread daily, and both puddings
and pies In their place.
To provide for the needs of the crew
in bread and pastry each large Ameri-
can merchant ship carries a bakeshop
and a baker. The bakeshop is equipped
with the latest type Of oven for bak-
Ing bread and pastry In quantity. The
baker Is skilled not only In his trade
but In working under ~sea-going con
ditions-and that means not only his
ability to keep a steady stomach In

The sea baker can do these things
because he Is trained to do them. The

from schools for sea bakers. maintain
ed by the United States shipping
board. One of these schools is on
board the boards training ship Meade
at Boston, another on the training
ship Bedford. at New York.
The students In these schools are
volunteers from among the 5000 or
more apprentices that the shipping
board is training each month on a
squadron of II training ships, for serv-
ice In merchant marine crews.
Art and Mystery in 5~readmaking.
