A SCRUB CONGRESS.

The New York Times is almost
moved to tears in speaking Of the
present Congress and its pusilaniml-
ty and mediocrity-tears of shame
and chagrin. Speaking of the pro-
posed measures to raise Generals
Pershing and March and Admirals
Sims and Benson to permanent rank,
it says:
''In raising these four men to per-
manent rank as generals and admir-
ais, congress will be honoring through
them the army and navy, for which
the people of the United States have
no halfhearted enthusiasm. Why
cannot it for once do something in
big, generous way?"
The fact that Congress does hesl-
tate and haggle over comforting de-
erved honors and preferment on
these heroes of the World War but
shows that it is running true to the
form to be expected of its scrub
pedigree.
Congress goes to no end of trou-
BILE to impress upon the people that
it is scrub congress, mongrel mix
ture of all the selfish and petty po-
litical aims and schemes that spring
from unworthy motives.
At the very time when the Re-
publicans could have made name
for themselves by passing up the
hackneyed political game of jockey
ing for position in the next election,
and, unconsciously accomplish their
purpose, they follow precedents OF
the most vicious kind in their efforts
to discredit President Wilson and
the Administration-and succeed
only in discrediting themselves.
They have established the fact
that they are incapable of doing any
thing really big and generous.

REV. L. ROSS LYNN.

Rev. L. Ross Lynn, the Superin-
tendent of Thornwell Orphanage, an
institution in which the people of
Abbeville are greatly interested, paid
a visit to Abbeville on Wednesday,
coming here to preach the annual
sermon before the Abbeville District
Bible Society.
Rev. Mr.. Lynn made most favor
able impression on our people. He
is an accomplished public speaker,
and a man learned in theology. Ac-
cordingly his sermon was good in
substance. and we'll delivered. He is
rot only a good preacher, but he
strikes one as business man of fine
parts.
The new Superintendent has had
charge Of the work for nearly a year.
The first year was hard one for
him because the work was new and
:::.7c--- problems presented themselves
which greatly taxed his ingenuity.
Bu: as time goes on he is growing
into the work, and he hopes to make
the institution keep its place in the
affections Of the people who are in
terested in it, and we believe he Will
succeed.
The people of Abbeville very
much hope that Mr.. Lynn will make
it convenient to come this way again
at an early date and often, where he
may always expect welcome. r

 Mrs. LyneS asked permission to tell the court a remark made to her by a witness Of the accident. The court was not inclined to admit the evidence as testimony. but on learning that every effort had beep made to secure this witness and that it was not possible to locate him since Saturday, as he is on a run it was finally decided to ad- init 1t conditionally.
