HON. ASBURY F. LEVER

Congressman Lever Of South Caro-
lima, although now with the minority
party in congress is doing valent
work on the Agricultural Committee,
of which he was chairman in the last
congress.
In reply to some criticisms Of a
Republican member from Illinois,
as to the bureau Of markets, Mr..
Lever said:
For four or five years men on the
Philadelphia Produce Exchange, for
example, get together in the morning
and say that the price Of eggs shall
be 80 cents a dozen, when the pro-
ducer in the country is selling them
for 40 cents. Now, when that occurs
there is something wrong. One of the
chief activities of the Bureau of Mar
kets is to furnish to consuming pub
lie in the cities what the producers
in other parts of the country are sell
ing eggs for, so that the public it
celf will demand that these leeches
disgorge. In other words, / am be-
lever in the great principle of light.
/ do not believe that evil can long ex-
ist if you turn sufficient light on it.
The Bureau of Markets under the
present activity is furnishing the
light. But you can't expect it to cor
rect all the evils within four or five
years, but if you will give the bureau
proper support and proper sympathy
on the floor of the House and the Sen
ate, believe can guarantee to you
that you will have an an organization

PARDONINC A DEAD MAN

A puzzling question has presented
itself to Governor Beckett, of North
Carolina. The question is: Can he
pardon dead man? Forney Williams,
an escaped convict, was killed in
France and had $40, 600 insurance
from the government
AS fugitive from justice Williams
was not eligible to serve in the United
States army, and there is some ques-
ton as to whether the government
will pay the insurance money to his
relatives. Governor Beckett stated
he would have pardoned Waliams
prior to his death had he known he
was serving with the American for
ces.
"lf pardoning will get the boys
mother the money, l am going to
do it, the governor stated

GOT HIS GOAT"

Congressman w. F. Stevenson re-
Gently got after a Democratic con-
gresham from Texas, Hon. Thos. L..
Blanton, for appointing three of his
sons to salaried positions in Wash
ington. We will let Mr. w. J. Hollo-
man, staff correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution, tell the story:
lnterrupting the Texan, Represen-
tatlve Stevenson, Of South Carolina,
inquired, innocrntly, if the Texas
member did not have son sitting as
page in the house?
Yes, and | am not ashamed for
him to associate with members of this
house"
Again the South Carolinian in
quired if the Texas member did mot
have son also on the house clerks
pay roll?
"Yes" the Texan was oblidged to
admit.
How old is he?"
"Fourteen"
And have you not a son in the
mouse poStofhce!'
The Texan was oblidged to say
yes"
BY this time the thing got serious
and the question then was as to whc-
ther or not the Texas democrat thus
abetting the Republicans, should not,
in reality be restrained from nepo-
tism under the terms Of the Sherman
anti-monopoly law.
1t got so sesious indeed, that the
democrats forced a resolution, also
to investigate the relationship between
members of the house and capitol en-
ployees.

AIDING THE ENEMY

Here is one bad effect of the fault
finding and criticism of the president
that has been going on in congress.
A cablegram from Switzerland is to
the effect that one reason the Ger
mans are said to be slow about sign
ing the peace treaty is that the idea
in Berlin is that President Wilson is
discredited at home, that the Ameri-
can people are turning against him
and the German leaders think that by
holding out little longer Wilson will
be left in the lurch.
If those Republican and Democratic
congressman could realize that their
action is giving aid and comfort to
the enemy, in causing the German
people to have false hopes they might
cease their ill-timcd ccnsure.

GIRLS REPLY TO HIGH
SCHOOL BOY

Since the personnel of thew. w. l..
s. is conceded to be composed of 7h
members l wish to state right here
that while thoroughly enjoyed their
last reply, still l was little disap-
pointed too, for / was hoping this
this time for a reply from the other
members.
The woman is never expected to
progress beyond the ordinary round
of house work performed by her an
ccstors, then man too, should follow
the primitive instincts of some of his
ancestors and either remain suspend
ed from the limb OF tree or hid
away in a cave.
1t is only the men of this prim-
tive type who fail to recognize or ad-
NIT the mental equality of woman,
continu" to throw all kinds of obsta-
cles, especially derision and discour-
agement in her path of progress.
All kinds of help and encourage
ment have always been handed out
freely to boys and men,. and the wo-
men especially have done all in their
power to help them make place and
a name for themselves in the world,
while these same men watch with
jealousy and derision every step of
progres made by woman.
All that woman has done and is do
ing has been against wind and tide,
and it's contrary to nature and the in
tent Of natures God for it to be so.
Take the birds for example when they
mate and begin to build home, does
the male bird do all the work while
his mate sits and sings and looks
pretty? No indeed; together they
build their nest; together they feed
and teach their young and when
grown strong cnogh, together, both
male and female, they leave the nest
to fly out into the world to do their
life's work, no holding back the one
and sending out the other.
Are not women taking advantages
IF every opportunity that comes their
| way? If not why were over a thou
sand hard working girls at Winthrop
College this year, while hundreds
more were turned away for lack of
room?
Why we're there two hundred in
| Winthrop's graduating class this
year? Does the record prove that
women are afraid Of hard work?
| challenge any man to say that he
can finish High School along with his
| sisters, and suddenly over night, de-
| velop such strong mental capacity
that he can lump two years, or even
| one year ahead Of her in entering col
lege.
| believe, and shall continue to be-
ticvc until it be proven untrue, that
the girls finishing High School along
with the boys can enter the same
| classes in the same colleges and do
/ he same work as we'll and just as
| iuic!:ly as the boys do, not only thru
| College, but the university as well.
Poor, jealou man, fear for thee
A mental alteration
This is the day of woman's work
Her mental celebration.

FLY ACROSS OCEAN
IN SIXTEEN HOURS

At last the Atlantic has been cross
cd in a single flight of an aeroplane.
The lucky flyers were two young
British officers, Capt. John Alcock
and Lieut.. Arther Brown. They chop
ped off" at ST. Johns, Newfoundland,
on Saturday afternoon at 4:13 o'clock
md landed at Clifden, Ireland, at o.
10 o'clock, British summer time, the
next morning, consuming exactly 16
hours and - minutes, for trip that
requires a week on a fast ship and
often longer. Before the steam ship
the fast sailing vessels required about
forty days.
The distance covered more than
1900 miles. The flight was practi-
cally without incident; there were no
accidents until the landing in Ireland
and then the machine was slightly
damaged by sinking in the soft bog.
Neither of the men seemed any worse
for the flight, although the experience
vas rather trying.
Much Of the flight was made through
fog with an occasional driZZle. This
hampered the airmcn considerably
during their journey.
Describing the experiences Of him
self and Lieutenant Brown, Captain
Alcock, in a message from Galway
to the London Daily Mail, says:
owe had terrable journey. The
wonder is we are here at all. We
scarcely saw the sun or the moon or
stars. For hours we saw none of them.
The fog was very dense and at times
we had to descend to within 300 feet
of the sea.
'FOur four hours our machine was
covered with sheet of ice, carried
oy frozen slcct. At another time the
fog was so dense that our speed indi-
Gator did not work and for few
minutes it was very alarming.
"Wc loopcd the loop, do believe,
some comic stunts, for | had no sense
Of horizon.
"Thc winds were favorable all the
way, northwest and at times south
| west. We said in Newfoundland that
we would do the trip in l6 hours,
but we never thought we should. An
hour and a half before we saw land
we had no certain idea where we were
but believed we were at Galway OF

ANTS GOING AFTER
REST OF THE WORLD

William Jennings Bryan delivered
two speeches in Columbia Saturday
evening in the interest of the Anti
Saloon League, with which he has
been connected for some time. The
subject of the talk was: Work ac-
complished and tasks before, u.s."
Although approaching 60, Mr..
Bryan said that he expected to live to
see saloonless world. The credit
for driving liquor out of the United
States was given to the League and
the drinkers of the rest of the world
were openly threatened with ami
hilation.
In contradicting the statement that
TIC r. turning soldiers would not per-
nit the country to go dry, or to re-
main s., the famous eX-candidate is
edited with having said that the
soldiers themselves helped to make
the country dry and would therefore,
hardly take steps to undo the work
they had already done. In dealing
with the mo beer, no work" attitude
of some of the labor organizations
he said:
eve must remember that the ma
jority rules in this country. No one
class controls our government. While
some labor unions may object to pro-
hibitior, votes speak in no uncertain
voice. The brewer of beer and the
dstillcr of whiskey have lived md
fought together; why not let them
die together and be buried in the
same grave?"
"Hcretoforc," he said, "when a
State would 20 dry, the liquor inter
csts would simply move to the nearest
wet territory. Now the nation is to
be dry. and the liquor interests will
have to move three miles out to sea
where the water is over their heads
and where it is wettcr than wet.
"The United States will not go
backward. Three great forward NOV
ing factors are assisting i'm the fight
The first is an awakened conscience (;
the cOnscicnc. of the nation has been
gradually aroused and it will not
sleep again. Second, scientific invcs-
tigation shows us that liquor lowers
efficiency; that it cuts short life; that
it lessons resistance to disease, that it
leads to diseases that tend to destroy
the race. Science does not move back
ward. Then there is the patriotic
motive. We knew whiskcy
was bad in peace; we
found it to be still worse in war. 1t
was no small thing when the congress
Of th2 United States made it a crimi-
nal otfcnsc to sell liquor to man in
the uniform of the country"
He praised the work of the Demo
Gratis in making the country dry and
| paid his compliments to New York
writers, who have opposed the move
! ment for the national prohibition.
In his conclusion he spoke of the
missions of the United States in aid
ing other nations to get rid of the
drink evil, saying that remedy had
| been found for alcoholism. Total
! abstinence saved many, he said, but
| by enforcing prohibition, the breed
ing place Of the germs Of the traffic
are wiped out.
Mr.. Bryan spoke Sunday and Mon
} day in Union, Spartanbura
! and Grcenville.

panies as rental for the use OF tneIr

teed return-and the net ncoRle
which the government will rece5Fe

There should be a good-sized power
ehurn, driven by a gas engine or an
electric motor, preferably the latter,
in your principal work room. The
chufn should always be considerably
larger than the amount of milk or
cream you expect to handle. A hun
dred-gallon churn would be about
right to handle SO gallons of milk.
However, if you run this milk
through a separator first, which we
would advise you to do, you will re-
duce it's volume greatly and possibly
a 75-gallon churn would be ample
for your purpose. The milk room,
as a rule, should not be built in the
barn, but some distance from the
barn, and the two buildings connect
ed by a covered walk-way. The milk
room should be built of cement, in
side and out. All corners and joints
should be rounded and all the room
occupied should be so constructed
that the hose may be turned on all
parts thereof. 1t should be finished
off so that hot water or steam could
be applied to the walls or ceiling il
necessary. In structure of this
kind you can keep cream at a proper
temperature between churning and
so ripen it at will to the right de-
gree of acidity. This will enable you
to churn it more effectively and Sc
cure larger returns of butter from
a given amount of cream. You should,
of course, have a Babcock tester and
test your cows milk regularly. Those
cows which do not give a milk con-
tanning 4 per cent and upward of
butter fat should be disposed Of A
