District U. D. c. Conference.


The Edgefeld delegate was never
more delighted than to find herself
domiciled with that delightful Barn
well-Aiken-Edgefeld family, the Ham
monds. Old Major Spann Hammond
lis the last remaining son of the nota-
BILE Governor James H. Hammond
and while IS years old, has mind Of
great brilliancy and his retrospect
was as clear as in a man many years
younger.
There surrounded by the many
evidences of his families former
grandeur, he lives quiet life with
his devoted help mate, who was Miss
Hanson Dunbar of Beech Island.
They have two sons, DR.. Dunbar Ham
mond of Blackville and Mr.. Jas. H.
Hammond of Columbia.
The conference was entertained
at a delightful informal reception at
the home of Mrs. Rich, after which
automobiles were provided to take
the visitors and delegates to the Ma
sonic Hall where a lovely, lovely
luncheon was served. Never was there
more tasteful and simple decora lions
or a more sumptuous feast served in
three courses-canteloupes Tor the
frst-for the second, half chicken
on toast, peas en- casserole, creamed
potatoes, tomatoes with mayonnaise
dressing, dainty rolls, ice tea. For. the
dessert, ice cream in red blocks and
square white cakes with a Confeder-
ate flags done in the icing. There was
merriment and jollity in spite of the
inclement weather.
Mrs. Black gave very happy
toast to the Davis Lee Chapter,
which is the baby chapter in our
District and numbers only "a men,
bers. Here's to health, wealth and
growth"
At the school building our session
was held. The reports were all very
good, but the principle thing for
which this conference will be remem-
bered is that it was decided to give
a hundred ,.ollar liberty bond, which
the district purchased last year by
25 cents subscriptions to the 1917
1918 Hero educational fund. That
leaves us with fifty dollar bond and
a bonus of about S14 in the district
funds. Our Winthrop scholarship for
this year is assured. This scholarship
is vacant now and it would be good
thing if some of our girls would ap-
ply for it. 1t is worth $100 and free
tuition. Admission is by examination,
the applicant being descendant of
someone who served in the war be-
tween the States. The application
has to be signed by the chapter pres
ident and sent to Miss Armida Moses,
Sumter, S. C. Any girl wishing to
apply for the scholarship should stand
the regular Winthrop examination
on Friday, July 4th, and write to Miss
Moses for application blanks.
The Aiken women got ahead of us
in the matter of entertaining the con-
ference next spring. They did a good
deal of lobbying so when a call was
made for invitations Edgefeld only
received 23 out of the 67 votes cast.
Thev voiced the wish to come here
next time however. Altogether, it
was a most delightful and successful
conference.

Ship With Green Flag,
Built by Irish Hands,"
Puzzles U. S. Officers

Officials of the United States
Shipping Board are discussing a
cablegram received yesterday to
the effect that an American
steamship, built by Irish hands"
entered the harbor Of Queens
town, Ireland, flying the Irish
flag of green, orange, and white
from her masthead.
The cablegram gave the name
OF the vessel as the "Ashburne,"
and stated that when she entered
the harbor at the Irish port she
was given a rousing welcome by
the Sim Feiners. Now the cues
ton which presents itself to the
Shipping Board is who is the
Ashburne?"
There is a vessel OF American
registry, the "Ashburn," which
left New York July IS, bound for
Copenhagen. And the name Of
this vessel might easily have been
garbled in cabling. and she might
have put into Queenstown en-
route for Copenhagen. for repairs,
though the Irish port is not on
the route from New York. And
as for the vessels being built by
Irish hands, officials Of the Ship
ping Board point to the fact that
the majority OF shipyard workers
are Irish.

The People Have the Right to

For this resson we have felt it our
duty to use every fair and legitimate
means IN our power to interest the public
In these bills. Letters have been written,
pamphlets mailed, and a sincere effort
made to promote discussion In the
columns of the press. Those particularly
interested m the proposed measures have
been asked to give their Senators and
Representatives the benefit Of theirvie~s.
We have done this recently and we
shall continue to do so. And we are
quite willing for those who have been
carrying on organized propaganda IN
favor of the bills to continue their efforts.
They have the same right Of public
appeal that we have-and It all helps
to interest and inform the people who

WYE have been accused IN the Senate
w Of carrying on an organized prop
uganda against certain proposed legisla-
ton, as though there were something
wrong in our doing so.
We are glad this charge has been
made, because it gives US an opportunity
to tell the public just what our position is.
The bills in question are understood
by many people as being harmless legis-
lative measures, designed only to license
and control the packers"
In reality they are bills Of the most
radical and extreme nature, which, If
passed, will mean practical government
operation of the meat packing business
under the direction Of temporary political
appointees lacking industrial or COM
mercial training.
In the light Of the nations experience
with railroad and wire systems, otmany
voters will sanction such an experiment.
This legislation would set a precedent
for the licensing and restricting of every
sort Of business.
In the ordinary course Of events few
persons would have fair opportunity
to understand the real nature and mean
ing Of these bills.
