Germ have not been finally disposed of in this
session. While the house will have passed
railroad bill that is regarded hy many as Ill.
dgested, requiring actual framing in confer
ence, the senate has not yet considered this
piece of legislation Nothing has been done on
railroad legislation, and the country faces the
return Of the railroads at the end of this year
with no legislation for their regulation or fl
nancing after the president releases them.
Another after-the-war problem, the up
building of the merchant marine, is left for
consideration in the coming session. which nee
essarily will be short because of the national
conventions and the subsequent elections. The
military and naval policies have not been de-
cided upon, and the army and navy are losing
some of their best officers by reason of the
failure to provide for the higher pay and reor-
ganization Of the services.

able aliens only recently manifested in the
West and present in all industrial sections Of
the country nothing definite has been done to
stamp out anarchy or bolshevism.
Nothing definite has been done to prevent
the high cost of living, and the promised land

reported from the commtte which long con-

There is much more of the same sort 1t is
long and ghasty record of promises made
only to be broken, Of time frittered away and Of
opportunities neglected. While the senate has
devoted its efforts to mutilating the peace
treaty the house has simply marked time in
doing nothing. 1t is doubtful if in the whole
history of congress there is parallel example
of legislative futility. And this is the wonder

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easlly and cheaply made at home,
but 1t heats them all for
quick results.

Thousands OF housewives have found
that they can save twO-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prepara-
tions, by using the wellknown old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. IL
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
Cor prompt results 1t takes right hold
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
"a hours or less.
Get 2h ounces OF Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make a full pint. II you prefer, use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead OF sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat. and luncs-loos-

dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,

Pinex is n special and highly concen-

pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.

ANOTHER "GOP" SESSION

Nov THAT CONGRESS is in session again
' it is timely to make a few chosen remarks
anent the recent special session-the six months
of peace-kling.
When the republicans came into power in
congress last spring they flambuOyantly an
nounced that they were going to give a striking
demonstration of that wonderful G.. O. P. eff
cheney, that marvellous gift of constructive
craftsmanship, that firm grasp of national prob
lens, etc, of which we hear so much and see
so little. All the knotty questions of recon-
struction were to be taken up and solved, and
democratic incompetency was to be shown up
in its true light in contrast with all-round re-
publican superiority.
Six months have passed since the extra ses-
sion convened in May, and the record has been
made up. 1t is absolutely barren of results.
We would be modest in making such an asser-
ton as a matter Of our own belief, as we might
be accused Of partisan bias, but happily we
have republican authority for the statement
We refer to a Washington dispatch in the Phil
adelphia Press whose G.. o. p. orthodoxy can
not be questioned
From its long catalogue of the failures of
the republicans to make good their pledges we
extract few items to show how complete this
'iasco of the much vaunted republican con-
structiye craftsmanship has been:
"The special session Of the Sixty-sixth con-
gress, called briefly to pass department APP
preparation bills defeated by filibuster in the
closing days of the SXty-fifth, is about to close
with nothing of constructive nature accom-
plshed, with none Of the after-war problems
definitely considered.
Nothing in the way of Legislation to deal
with the great problems Of labor and bolshe
viSm has been enacted.

High and Graded School
Closing.

Friday evening the school audi
torium was filled as it usually is on
such occasions to be present at the
closing exercises. Rev. A. L. Gunter,
principal of the school presided and
the first number was an instrumental
duet by Misses Mary Nicholson and
Elizabeth Rives.
The report of the trustees was
made by Mr.. A. E. Padgett, chair
man, who announced that all the
teachers would return except Miss
Roddey of the first grade whose place
would be supplied. He announced that
Mr.. Brooks of Laurens, teacher of
a number of years experience, would
become principal for the coming year.
An interesting fact was that no
student in the High School had failed
to make their grade, although the
year had been fraught with difficult
ties.
A lovely chorus was givea by the
girls of the High School who had been
trained by Miss Miriam Norris, direc-
tor of music in the school. The girls
were all arrayed in pink and blue
organdie dressessand picture hats.
The feature of the occasion was an
address by DR.. R. G. Lee on educa-
ton. DR.. Daniel of Clemson College
telegraphed that he had been unex-
pectedly prevented from being pres
ent. It had been announced that he
would deliver the address. Everyone
was pleased with the substitute and
forgot all about DR.. Daniel as DR..
Lee proceeded to speak.
The last number was an instrument
tai duet by Misses Eleanor Minis and
Bessie Dunovant.

Dedication Service at Baptist

On Sunday, July 6, we shall have
the dedication services of the First
Baptist Church. There are several
things I wish to say and to ask.
First of all, want, as pastor, every
member of the church to be in the
Sunday School that morning and that
a full attendance be found at the
Baraca class. Then / want to ask that
every family have basket in order
that we may have good dinner on
the grounds. We don't wish to have
an elaborate dinner at all but just
enough to give everybody enough to
satisfy hunger. 1 realize that the
cooking of the dinner is work, but we
have this dedication but once and
dinner on the grounds only occasion
ally; so gladly can we make prepara-
tions and endure any hardness be-
cause of the joy and the greatness of
the day. At eleven forty-fve, DR..
M. D. Jeffries of Memrhis, a former
pastor, will preach the dedication
sermon. At three thirty-fve in the
afternoon DR.. J. F. Mclean of Aiken
will preach. At nine at night DR.. C.
E. Burts, pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Columbia, and former
pastor here, will preach for US.

Students Entertainment.

The College Students Entertain
ment on Thursday evening in the
Edgefeld Opera House was a great
success, and this in sp..e of pouring
rain, half the performers and half
the audience absent. We write this,
because while the Opera House was
about full of people, it would have
been packed if the night had been
propitious. The stage was also full of
those who were to give programme,
and yet if all had been there the
footlights would have radiated upon
a greater mass of beauty and chiv-
airy.
it was altogether very fine occa-
sion, and each number was attractive
and loudly applauded. The hour was
late and sd no encores could be given,
as the heavy rains prevented early
gathering of those from out of town.
About $95.O0 was taken in at the
door, which goes to the Memorial
Tablet fund.
Edgefeld people proved their in
terest and courage by giving large
and representative audience on a
very bad night, but they were amply
by good programme.
