IN GOOD COMPANY.

One of the men away from here
wiio is watching the outcome of the
present congressional race in this
dic.rict and who wonders whether
the voters Of Abbeville will vote as
he would vote, if he could, is Mr..
W. P. Beard, now of the Federal
Prison in Atlanta. Will you vote as
he would vote, Mr.. Voter?
Perhaps, if Mr.. Beard were here
he would now be giving you some
reasons why you should vote for
Mr.. Aiken through his publication,
which could not get back into the
mails under the name of The Peo-
pies Advocate, but which might
stand a better chance under the
name of The Sewerpipe.

GAVE PULLETS FOR
FALL AND WINTER LAYERS.

Columbia.-The Food Administra.
tion urges that wherever possible the
flock of farm chickens be increased.
Every farmer, or for that matter.
every person who raises chickens
should provide to carry as many pull:
lets that were hatched IA the months
Of March and April As possible.
These will make good layers for the
late fall and winter months.
What the situation with regards to
food will hs during tho months to
come none can say definitely, but the
Foed Administration is always look.
Ing ahesd, and the necessity Of ia
crsasing the hocks Of all who raise
poultry, either for market or for homo
consumption, Is urged az Z measure
to assure poultry products in suf-
heient quantity to meet the demands
at home.
While the temptation OF fried chick.
en- may be strong at this time, ths
March and April pullets should be car
ried over to provide layers for tho
fall and winter.

FRIDAY, AUGUST %, 1918.
EQUALLY LOYAL CD

We have made inquiry of the
Democratic National Committee and
we are advised that the books of the
Treasurer of the committee for con-
tributions to defray the expenses OF
President Wilson's last campaign DO
not show any contribution from
candidate Wyatt Aiken who was at
that time still member. of congress
from this district.
The books do show that Hon.
Fred H. Dominick collected in this
district, along with his own contri-
button, the sum of one thousand
dollars which helped to re-elect
President Wilson.
These records are on file with the
Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives in Washington and are open to
the public.
From this it appears that Mr.. All
ken never contributed cent to the
election of the President whose ad-
ministration he so fervently endors-
es.
Mr. Dominick's loyalty to the
President and his cause seems to be,
not the lip-service sort, but the cold
cash brand.
..-fs:.c- all, are they equally loyal?

SUGAR ALLOTMENT
IS BUT 0NE.TH|RD
Two Pounds Per Person Per Month. Is
Patton For Auqust-But 10 Made
Necessary BY Present Critical
Shortage.

Columbia-Two pounds Of sugar
per month per person.
That is the allotment for the month
Of August
Because of the present critical sit.
uation as regards the sugar supply, the
Food Administration has found is
necessary to cut down the ration from
three pounds per month per person tc
two pounds per month per person.
In further limiting the sugar sup
ply for home use, tho Food Admins.
tration calls attention to the fact that
already the makers Of soft drinks and
candy have been cut down to so per
cent Of their normal supply, or 80 per
cent Of their consumption last year.
Hotels, restaurants and public eat.
ing places are likewise further limit.
ed. Public eating places may not buy
more than two pounds of sugar for
every 90 meals served.
Sugar bowls. are disappearing from
the tables Of public eating places, and
the sugar furnished guests and Gus:
toners is carefully measured.
1t becomes necessary, therefore, for
the home consumers to cut down the
consumption Of sugar. Only a certain
amount has been allotted to South Car
olina for the month. The merchants
cannot buy more than certain
amount. Unless there is the most rig
i'd economy practiced in the use of
sugar in the home, there will be su-
garless meals before September 1.
Two pounds per month per person.
That is the allotment That Is twice
as much as the people Of fighting
France or the people Of Italy are al
lowed-when they can get sugar at
all.
The Food Administration makes
these suggestions to save sugar:
Do not leave sugar In tho bottom OF
coffee cup.
Substitute molasses or corn syrup
for part of sugar used in cooking.
Make cakes without frosting.
Use fruits for dessert In the place
Of dishes requiring sugar.
Cut down the use Of candy and
sweet drinks. They are Injuries.
Portion the sugar used on the table.
Sugar Is precious.

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

-.c are supporting Mr.. Fred H.
Dtaaiaick for Congress. Some of
cur friends, while voting for Mr..
Dcminick on the quiet themselves,
are afraid that our public support of
Mr. Dominick will help Mr.. Blease.
But they overlook the fact that
the records of Mr.. Blease and Mr.,
Dcminick are two separate and
widely divergent records.
Mr.. Dominick voted against the
declaration of war, and so did Mr..
Claude Kitchen, the Democratic
floor leader and many others. But
Mr.. Dominick did not make the Po-
maria speech four months after the
war. The Greenwood Journal was
opposed to war.
Mr.. Dominick voted against con-
scription and favored the volunteer
system. So did Champ Clark, the
Democratic speaker of the House.
But Mr.. Dominick did not make a
Filbert speech. The Anderson Daily
Mail endorsed his position.
Mr.. Dominick has since the de-
claration of war voted for every ap-
preparation which the administration
asked, and you have not yet heard
that Mr.. Dominick has been going
around abusing the president and
the democratic party. No man can
quote disloyal remark he has made
Mr.. Dominick did not at York make
a speech re-affirming the Blease
statements at Pomaria and Filbert.
Mr.. Blease is opposed by loyal
American of recognized ability, ir
every way qualified to represent the
state of South Carolina in the sen.
ate with fidelity, painstaking indus
try, and honor to the state. He will
measure with any of his predeces
sors and not suffer by the compari
son. Mr.. Dominick is opposed by {
man entirely unworthy of the sup
port of people who want to be pro
perly represented in the halls o:
Congress.
MIR. Blease is stated by the Presi
dent to be no friend of the admin
istration. The Presidents spokes
man in political matters says tha
Mr.. Dominick is equally loyal wit
Mr.. Aiken.
Therefore, we support Mr.. Domi
nick. We could not support MI
Blease.

CHALLENGE UNANSWERED.

In our last issue we challenged
Mr.. Wyatt Aiken and his friends to
produce any evidence that MIR. All
ken was the friend of the admins
tration in Washington, and is to be
regarded as more loyal than Mr..
Dominick. They have not sought to
do so. They cannot do so.
We are offering the Democratic
voters of the city and county of
Abbeville, in this issue, the Washing
ton view of the loyalty of Mr.. Domi-
nick and Mr.. Wyatt Aiken.
Postmaster General Burleson is
the political spokesman for Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson. He speaks
the view of the administration on
public men and public measures, in
so far as politics are concerned.
Knowing this we have taken the
trouble to inquire of him the ad-
ministration's conclusion as to the
loyalty of the two men.
The statement is that as between
candidates equally loyal, the admin
istration has no choice, and that for
this reason the administration has
no candidate in this district.
Does this not mean that. Mr..
Dominick is loyal if Mr.. Aiken is
loyal?
Does it not mean that if Mr..
Dominick is disloyal, that the ad-
ministration considers Mr.. Aiken
equally disloyal?
Mr.. Dominick has not accused Mr..
Aiken of being disloyal, but Mr..
Aiken has accused Mr.. Dominick of
being disloyal, and, in the Washing
ton view, when he accuses Mr..
Dominick he likewise accuses him
self.
Mr.. Aiken made the issue as to
disloyalty, but it seems that the ad-
ministration has settled it. The ad-
ministration knows it's own friends.
The administration also knows the
men it DOES NOT WANT in Wash
ington.
Mr.. Aiken was congressman for
fourteen years. He was in congress
during the first administration of
Woodrow Wilson. Can it be posi-
BILE that Woodrow Wilson believes
that the country can be run without
Mr.. Aiken? -. y
Even though the administration
believes that Mr.. Dominick is loyal,
we are yet of the opinion that, had
Mr.. Aiken been the right kind of a
congressman in Washington, the ad-
ministration would prefer him to a
former law partner Of Cole L.
Blease. The president of the Unit
ed States would likely have taken
some means to let the voters of the
third district know this. The presi-
dent and his administration, so far
as we are informed, have indicated
no preference for Mr.. Wyatt Al
ken. They will not indicate any
such preference.
Does the president and his admin
istration, therefore, think that Mr..
Wyatt Aiken is not a proper man
to send to congress, and do they
prefer that he be kept as far away
from Washington as possible?
The thinking people who read this
paper will answer these questions
for themselves. They know the
! truth already.

New Dormitories i'm
Capital Inadequate
Rooms at Union Station Will
Accommodate Only 1000
Girl War Workers
Especial Dispatch TO The Tribune

Especial Dispatch TO The Tribwne)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-New dormi-
tories at the Union Station soon to be
completed in an effort to solve the
housing problem for girl war workers
will be inadequate to meet the needs.
States Housing Corporation, only a
ployes will be able to find places there,
Several weeks ago the housing off,
cials wrote to twenty-six Federal bu-
reaus asking them to submit lists Of
their employees who desired accommo-
dations in the dormitories, and six bu-
reaus alone sent in 5000 applications.
In the dormitories there will be room
for not more than 1000 girls.
Work has been started on additional
dormitories and number of apart
ment houses scheduled to be completed
in February. The dormitories at the
Union Station are expected to be fin
ished next month.
Many of the 5000 employees who have
asked for places in the new dormitories
are already housed in Washington. If
they move it will mean the local regis
tration service will have its hands full.
War workers are complaining the
minimum rate at the dormitQries is
making boarding house keepers raise
both rent and board. The lowest priced
room in the dormitories rents for S45
month, including board. There is
supposed to be no real profit in this,
simply an accommodation to the work
ers. Landladies whose rooms are cold
and cheerless are now saying i the
government dormitories cannot be run
for less than $46 month they cannot
supply rooms and board to war work
ers for less than that themselves.

creased production resulted when each
STUDENT operative was studied and as
signed to the branch of work for which
she seemed most fitted
During this period Of training the
women are paid the same wages that a

iike circumstances. At the end of the
training women receive wages accord
ing to the union scale for the kind Of
work they happen to be doing.

company and the Billion Machine and

According to the manufacturers
women are excellihg in all kinds of
work previously done by men alone,
and prove as adaptable as man in

truck, or working on automatic ma
chlnery. Many women Of the city who
