with the idea of purchasing q silk
shirt. He said that he had never
owned one before. He asked the clerk
the price of the shirt, and was told
s12. He said, II would consider it q
reflection on my intelligence to pay
$12 for shirt" He asked the clerk
"who buys that kind Of shirts?" and
was told the BARRIERS and the hack
drivers and the boys who want to blow
in. That is the trouble with the
country; the people have quit work
and are going to the towns, and yet
we expect prices to go down. What
we need Is to have cur people get
some tools and go back on the farm
and produce something to eat.
I am not going to take up much time
in the discussion now, but we all
know of the inflated condition Of the
currency; we know of the war de-
struction and everything Of that sort,
and I'VE know that prices are bound to
be high for considerable time. am
not merchant, and the privisions Of
the bill will not interfere with me at
all except In a general way, but I
think that the way to bring about
natural and normal conditions is to
quit being abnormal and to quit pass
ing unnecessary laws and to adjourn
the>senate as soon as we can get the
treaty ratified and some much-needed
reconstructive laws enacted. That
would do as much to quiet this country
and satisfy our people as anything
else that could be done. I would not
appear critical Of my colleagues, but
it is my honest opinion that every
legitimate interest Mould be served If
the sessions Of congress were shorter,
say not longer than four months in
the year. think then there would not
be so much unrest in this country.
hope this proposed law will not be
extended any further than to articles
originally embraced in the food control
act Let us get back to normal and
not enact so much legislation in Wash
ington. We have set a good many bad
examples here.5, The way to do is to
let the people 50 backlto the country
pay their debts. pay for the expenses
Of the war, and forget about 1t.

RETURN OF INFLUENZA.
Miuht Come Back and Then it Might
Mot

Not.
"Probably, but by no means certain
ly, there will be recurrence of the in
tluenza epidemic thiE year. Indications
are that, should it occur, it will not be
as severe as the pandemic of the pre-
vious winter"
This is from a bulletin issued last
week by the United States Health Ser
vice. The bulletin also says:
"City officials and state and city
boards of health should be prepared in
the event of recurrence. The fact
that a previous attack brings immunity
in certain percentage of cases should
allay fear on the part of those afflicted
in the previous epidemic.
"Innuenza is spread by direct and in
direct contact. 1t is not as yet certain
that the germ has been isolated or dis
covered, and as consequence there is
as yet no positive preventive except the
enforcement of rigid rules of sanitation
and the avoidance of personal contact.
"a close relation between the influ-
enza pandemic and the constantly in
creasing pneumonia mortality rate
prior to the fall Of 1918 is recognized.
1t is now believed that the disease was
pretty widely disseminated throughout
the country before it was recognized in
its epidemic state. This failure to re-
cognize the early cases appears to have
been largely due to the fact that every
interest was then centcred on the war
These observations are the result OF
an investigation of last winters cpl
demic, carried on in every state and
even in foreign countries. 1t was
found that the disease was most pre-
valent among children from 5 to ID
years of age.
Among the suggestions made by the
health service is that cities operating
on the budget system avoid delay in
meeting possible return of the cpl
demic by setting aside an emergency
epidemic fund.

Thurston U. Vaughan, former sup
erintendent of the Odd Fellows Or
phanage in Greenville, escaped Mon
day night from the State Hospital for
the Insane in Columbia, where he has
been confined for more than two years
by order of the court on the ground Of
insanity. The man was to have been
taken back to Greenville county with
in few days for resentence to electro
cution for heinous crimes which he
confessed to have committed in 1911
while he was superintendent Of the
South Carolina Odd Fellows Orphanage
near Greenville. 1t is believed that he
escaped with the aid of an automobile
which was waiting outside the asylum
walls. Governor Cooper has offered a
reward of 5000 for his capture.

however, when they got into the
neighborhood where the plant was
supposed to be that the lad was not
so sure after all and all that the Of
ficers could find was place where a
molasses mill had been in operation
some time before. 1t was a crowd of
footsore and sleepy-eyed officers who

Sunday morning.
Old Land Marks Removed.
They are gone-those four granite
posts that stood at the cross streets
for so long that few there be who re-
member when they were put up and for
what. Mr.. ]. @. Wray took them down
last week to make way for the curb
ing Of the new street work-to get
them out of the way. Those stones
were put on the corner about forty
years ago, during the administration
of the late Frank Happeraeld as mayor
for the purpose OF keeping the wagon
wheels of the street traffic off the
corners of the earthen sidewalks Of
those days. In the course of time they
began to be looked UPON as ancient
and there grew up an idea among
some people that they were mileposts
.milcposts "0," marking the beginning
of movements from the courthouse.
The tops of them were smooth, yes
even slick. This circumstance also
had Significance. It was evidence that
a most excellent quality of granite
they came from the Major T. P. White
sides quarry-would take polish from
cloth. The cloth was of the kind used
for tho making Of seats Of pantaloons.
Hundreds, yes thousands of men have
assisted IN the work of polishing the
tops of these posts, and the job was
we'll DONE Had this work been more
practically diverted, it would have
been sufficient for the grading Of q
railroad from Charlotte to Yorkville.
But the old posts are to be seen on the
corner no more from now on. Mr.. Hall
of the street committee, gave them to
Mr.. Wray and 4'I ganny," says. Mr..
Wray, II am going to use them to
make a set of Kitchen steps,"

BRITAIN IS GRATEFUL
Big Compensation Granted to Com
manding Generals.

Sig Compensation Granted to Com
manding Generals. =
There has been so much discussion
and comment about the grant of mon
ey made by the parliament Of Great
Britain to the ,latter's principal COM
manders on land and sea in the late
war that 1t may be Of timely interest
to call attention to the rate ,of pay
which they receive while on active
service so as to AFFORD an opportunity
'of comparison between the treatment
accorded by England to her principal
military and naval servants, and the
remuneration bestowed by the great
republic Of the United States upon its
commanders in the titanic conflict
which has just been brought to close.
Thus, Field Marshal Lord Haig. who
has just received the grant Of an
Earldom and of a lump sum Of $780,
900, drew in pay and allowances some
thing over $4,000 during the war;
that is to say more than s25, 900 year.
Field Marshal Lord French was paid
at the same rate until year ago. when
he was appointed Viceroy Of Ireland
with salary of 100000 year and
allowances Of as much more. Lord
French received grant from parlia-
ment Of $4,000.
Field Marshal Lord Allenby, whose
name will live for all time in history
as the liberator Of Jerusalem from the
centuries of Ottoman thraldom and
oppression. drew pay and cash al
lowances at the rate of $4,000 year.
He too received grant from parlia-
ment Of a quarter, of a million dol
lars.
RawIinson and Byng We're Given
S150oo0 Each.
Gen. Sir Henry Rawlinson, Gen. Sir
Julian Byng, who have both been made
peers and received grants of $150,0G0
were paid at the rate Of $1,000 a
year throughout the war.i Gen. Sir
William Robertson, who rose from the
ranks, and who is now a baronet, with
a considerable grant of money from
parliament, drew $4,000 year
throughout the war, and Gen. Sir Will
liam Birdwood, who commanded the
Anzacs, got along with $4,000 year.
He too has received baronetcy and a
grant of money from parliament.
Since none Of the principal COM
manders of the American army and
navy in the great war are men Of
large private fortune, and as it is i'm
possible to reward them with heredi-
tary honors such as peerages. the
United States government and con-
gress, which have been ladling out
money in billions during the past two
or three years and indulging in the
most colossal expenditures and reck-
less cxtravagances, might do we'll to
devote relatively small sum Of none
tary grant in favor Of the principal
American commanders on sea and land
in the great war by way of recogni-
ton of their services.-New York Sun.

PRICE FIXING PLANS
House Judiciary Committee Monkey
inn With Trade Machinery.

ing With Trade Machinery.
Permanent legislation for a more
strict regulation Of business, particu-
larly to prevent. extortionate profits
and trade practices generally. consid-
cred unfair but not Illegal under laws,
will be framed by tho house judiciary
committee, Representative Volstead
(Minn.), chairman announces, accord
ing to Washiaaton correspondent.
The demand for this regulation
comes from the fact that prices of so
many commodities have increased
since the signing Of the armistice,
which was the practical end Of the war
time excuse for boosting the cost to
the consumer, Mr.. Volstead says.
Believing that many little fellows" are
responsible for the present high prices,
Mr.. Volstead said the committee would
not devote all its attention to big bus
mess as some law makers have in the
past, but will strive to frame laws that
will benefit the consumer and at the
same time allow all business fair
margin of profit.
Hearings on the proposed legislation
are under way and already the fol-
lowing proposals have been placed be-
fore the committee by various repres-
entatives and members of the federal
trade commission.
A permanent government licensing
system, such as was used by the food
administration and other government
agencies during the war, with the pro-
vision that any business can be stopped
by the government revoking license
for violation Of regulations.
A general system Of price fixing for
the major commodities.
Extensions of the Sherman and
Clayton antitrust acts to prevent evas-
ions of the law, which the federal
trade commission claims are growing
more numerous.
Compulsory arbitration Of industrial
disputes by both capital and labor to
prevent loss in production.
Broadening Of the definition Of "un-
fair practices" in the federal trade
commission act in order that this body
may exercise a greater control.
National blue sky laws to prevent
the fraudulent sale Of securities.
Requirements that investment con-
Germs must advertise the profits they
mark on the sale Of securities with
the view of showing the public their
actuaY value.
Stricter regulation Of all speculation.
Although some sort Of permanent
licensing system was recommended by
President Wilson in his address to con-
gress on the high cost of living senti-
ment in the committee apparently is
rather strong against such a proposal.
Likewise there is considerable doubt if
an effective system of government price
fixing can be worked out, although the
committee is watching the results OF
Attorney General Pnlmer's volunteer
fair price committee.
1.-The committee" Mr.. Volstead said,
''is in favor of strengthening the laws
so that prices cannot be enhanced as
they have been during the last few
months, apparently without a reason
able cause. Just how this is to be done
we hope the hearings will show.
1.-The committee plans to consult not
only government officials but as many
representatives Of business as possible
to find the best constructive legislation
possible, but 1 am inclined to believe
stricter regulation must come"
