to have giants strength, but not to
use 1t as a giant.
Two OF the best boxers ever In base
ball were Giants, Al Bridwell and Ar
thur Devlin. Devlin could hold his own
in a hand hand fight with anybody
in baseball. He knew how to hit and
could hit hard. He was lightning quick
and clean hitter. He was tall, long
of reach, fiery, but clear-headed, as
| capable in a stand-up, man-to man
combat as anybody baseball has had.
Jim McAleer, tall, slender and not ro-
bust looking, was nevertheless good
man in his day, with his cool head
long and well developed arms and
quickness of hand and foot.
Kid Elberfeld was one of the best

best Of the big. If scrap he must. was

this country to apply under normal
manufacturing conditions one of the
big lessons learned from the war
1t was found that when factories
were short of help during the emer-
gencies of the war it was possible, by
applying direct training, to develop
higher efficiency in employees whose
thorough all-around knowledge of their
work raised their own earning capacity
and resulted in increased production
Based on this experience, the new
plan of the WHY'S Company
is one of unusual foresightedness in
it's relations to present national labor
conditions, as it provides virtually an
unimpaired income to men during, a
period when they are learning new
work-a period of instruction rather
than production.
The company is interested in turn
| ing out the best product made. This
| means bigger business-more work
but the company realizes that the
best product comes from the bes
workmen-the best know how"-ant
this new opportunity for advancement
Is being offered to the WHY'S Overland
men solely for the betterment of theil
own opportunities.

THINKS NEW CONGRESS
WILL VOTE FAVORABLY
ON WATER POWER BILL
fcanital News Special Service


Washington, March Ex-senator
Jones of Washington, who has been
active for several congresses in the
effort to work out legislation that will
permit the development of water power
resources in the west, believes that
the new congress will not be slow in
enacting the necessary legislation.
He says that failure of the legisle-
ton in the congress which adjourned
on March 4, was due to failure of the
conference committee of the two
houses to bring out a report until the
last days when there was such jam
that nothing could be accomplished.
The coal, oil and phosphate land leas-
ing bill, he says, would have been en-
acted in some satisfactory shape had
it been brought out of conference ear
lier. This bill was killed by the La
Toilette filibuster, but no filibuster
could have killed it had it been
brought before the senate 80 days ear
lier 1t is understood that Senator La
Toilette did not find SO much fault
with the water power bill and would

Ferdinand Stubblefield Schupp has
signed his contract with the Giants
for the coming season. The Louis
Vile kid fingered long before signing
after receiving his contract from the
club, but no alarm was felt because OF
this, for Ferdie is usually dilatory in
such matters and had no complaint to
make over the terms offered to him.
He reports that his valuable left arm
Is in good condition, and that he eX-
poets to regain his old form this year

lowing year.
I'VE already have our plans for APP
proved road projects sufficiently
shaped up SO that a prompt start will
be possible as soon as the weather
permits. In some cases, however, these
plans must necessarily be suspended
on account of pending proposals for the
creation Of national parks affecting
national forest lands. 1t would be ODD
viously improper to expend the FUNDS
intended and voted by congress Tor
the development and protection OF the
national forests on areas which may
soon cease to be national forests.
WILL BENEFIT SETTLERS.
This legislation will not only make
it easier to protect the forests without
costly expenditures to fight bad fires
in inaccessible localities, but will also
help enormously the many small com
munities and scattered settlers in ana
near the forests who now suffer for
lack of roads. 1t will also enable the
construction of important trunk line
roads crossing the mountains, witf
suitable provision of subsidiary roads
One result unquestionably will be a
marked development of recreationa
use of these great national play
grounds, with their wealth of too little
known attractions. Altogether, the
Opening up of the forests to more
complete and varied use by the pub
lie, which is the fundamental object OF
their administration will be tremend'
ously advanced"

WHAT TO DO WITH HUN
HELMET CACHEi LOAN
BOARD SEEKS SOLUTION

San Francisco, March 22.-Do west
ern patriots wish to use German hell
NETS for cuspidors? or just what do
they think is the best use to be made
OF the 5000 Hun head protectors that
are to be distributed in the Twelfth
reserve district during the Victory
loan campaign.
This is question the loan commit
tee wishes answered. 1t Is open to
suggestions as to the method of dis
tributing the souvenirs. Owing to the
limited number, there will not be
enough helmets to provide one or even
half of the bond buyers And opposing
the suggestion that the souvenirs be
given to buyers of $1,000 or more in
bonds is the charge that such a plan
would be discriminating against peo-
pie of smaller means, who gave as
much proportionarely as the wealthy.
The question may be decided by Civ
ing one of the war relics to communi-
ties SURPRISING their quotas as a

pOSTOFf|CE APPROPRIATIONS ACT GIVES
HUGE sum FOR ROADS WITHIN FORESTS

The development Of the national
FOREST road system is given great inn
petus by the terms of the postoffice
appropriations act which the president
has just signed. Besidey increasing by
+ 3200.000.O00 the total fund available
under the federal aid Rad act, the new
law makes available fot expenditure by
the secretary of agriculture $9,o00,00O
for roads and trails within or partly
within the forests. %
The law also authorizes the secre-
tary of war to transfer to the secretary
Of agriculture, mateial, equipment and
supplies suitable foy highway improve
ment and not needed by the war de-
partment. While most of this will be
distributed among the highway COM
missions of the states for use on fed
eral aid road projects, not to exceed 10
per cent may be reserved by the secre-
tary of Agriculture for use in building
national forest roads or other roads
constructed under his direct super
vision.
The $4,000, 900 fund may be used for
maintenance as well as survey and
construction. The new legislation. like
the federal aid road act, authorizes
the building o. roads and trails neces-
sary for the use and development for
the proper administration, protection
and Improvement of any forest where
cooperative local contributions can be
obtained;i but in addition it contains
q new feature of much Importance.
Will DEVELOP FORESTS.
This new feature permits the score
tary of agriculture, without the CO.
operation of local officials, to build
and maintain "any road or. trail with
in q national forest which he finds
necessary for the proper administra-
ton, protection and improvement of
such forest, or which in his opinion is
of national importance" In the view
of forestry officials this law is the
most important step ever taken for
rapid development of national forest
roads system, and will be of lnestl-
naable benefit to the local public.
THE measure gives us much broader
scope for fully developed program
than we have had before says Henry
S. Graves, chief of the forest service,
in commenting on the new law. I'm
der the federal aid road act we had
for roads within or partly within the
forests, one million dollars year,
available until expended. Owing to the
war, which practically halted the work
We have an accumulated balance OF
$4,000, 600 unexpended and another ST.
100000 which will become available

IMPORTANT STEP TAKEN.

The WHY'S Overland plan, therefore,
is of the greatest Importance both to
,he workman and employer, as 1t ena-
bles employees desiring training for
advancement to get it with the con-
Germ while earning virtually as much
as thew would receive at their regular
Jobs instead of having to leave the en-
play of the company ana search LOT
such an opportunity in another place
at great personal expense and perhaps
sacrifice of health, associations ana OF

step in manufacturing developmenta tl'e

ence in rate which is established dur-
ing his period of training to insure his
sincerity Of purpose.
This step by the WHY'S Overland
Company IS as far reaching In its
grasp of the future requirements Of
industry as any step that has been
taken tn relation to employees and
employers in a long period. It shows
a serious and intelligent purpose on
the part of the company to work in
the ultimate interests of the en-
ployees with the realization that in
the end this means the best interests
Of the company as we'll
1t is being generally recognized that
with the decline of the old appren-
ticeship and the rapid development of
specialization In modern industry
which the keenness of competition
made unavoidable the individual
workman became handicapped. The
result has been that our American in
dustries as whole are now feeling
the bad effects of this, and 1t is neces-
Join hands in appreciation of the fact
that all industry will suffer where the
workman does not know every part of
his Job" 1t makes him more efficient
as a workman and more independent
as a citizen.
! In the past much stress has been
laid upon collegiate and university
education. This has been effective and
has accomplished excellent results, but
the advantages of this form of educa-
ton were limited largely to those who
could afford to remain eight years In
grammar school, four years in high
school and four years in college--a to-
| tai of sixteen years with little or nc
earning until twenty-one or twenty
| two years OF age.
| Upwards of 80 per cent of the peo-
pie of this country. however, are I'M
able to continue with these advan-
tages and about sixty-flve out of every
hundred have been leaving pubic
schools throughout the country in the
sixth and seventh grades fourteen te
sixteen years Of age, to enter CONNER
cial and industrial pursuits.
| Those men who have come "uI
through the ranks" know what 1t has
meant to learn their work with M
interested instructors. They know
what great sacrifice, expense and los
| of time was entailed in obtaining theil
training for advancement in the schoo

THIS CAN HAPPEN
TO ANY TOWN

Overconfdence is deceptive
fault that has wrecked many ambi-
tious undertakings. It is SAD, but
true, tha tmany communities. after
energetically working for their de-
vepopment and seeing their efforts
rewarded with a fair measure Of sui
cess, have stopped for little rest
and dropped off to sleep. Some are
awaking with a shout, but, alas!
many are moving along drowsily.
No wise business man who has Ia
bored to make his enterprise a large
and prosperous one, would sit back
and say to himself, my concern has
grown so fast and is so well known
that it needs no further help from me
in the way of encouraging trade and
securing new customers" Yet that is
tacitly the attitude of successful
business men in a number Of cities
and towns, though Individually those
men are working with might and
main to increase trade and enlarge
their operations. They have utterly
overlooked the fact that, except in
rare cases, they prosper only as their
community prospers.
A typical illustration Of how a
city allowed itself to become over
confident afttr creating population
of over 10000 in less than 90 years
is given in an article in the Tampa,

Antreville, July 1S.-Misses Al
thea and Winton Keaton returned
home last Saturday from Chaplin, s.
c., where they attended the Frick-
Bullock wedding. During their stay
there several entertainments were
given in their honor, one being q
party given by Mr.. and Mrs. R. w.
Frick. This was greatly enjoyed
and will never be forgotten, for with
such happy people pleasant passed.
Fruits and candies were served.
It seems that some Of our older
people do not realize that the young
folks should have a pleasant time
during vacation, they forget that
they were ever young and therefore
care nothing for their pleasure. But
when we see people who enjoy pleas
ant occasions as well as bhe young
people, then we will have more
pleasures; for "those who go thru
life with smile, are, after all, those
worth while"
Mrs. J. w. Fulmer of Chaplin, is
visiting her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. r.
A. Keaton.
The young people enjoyed two
moonlight picnics last week, one at
Gaileys Mill and the other just be-
low Mr.. D. L. Haddon's, where
Blacks mill once stood. Both of them
afforded much pleasure to all.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Suber of VIII
lians+on, and Messrs. Frank and El-
more Suber of Piedmont, spent Sun
day with Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Suber
and family.
Miss Elizabeth McCarter is visit
ing relatives in Birminghom, Ala.
Mrs. J. E. Cheatham and son, Ar
chic, of Douglasville, Ga, are visit
ing the formers parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. R. A. Keaton. We were sorry
Mr.. Cheatham could not stay longer.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Gordon and

lanta last week and spent several
days, returning home Sunday.

MANY ASPIRANTS
FOR LEVERS JOB

Columbia, July 1.-THE press dis
patches today stating that Asbury F.
Lever, of Lexington, Congressman
from the Seventh district, had been
nominated by President Wilson for a
place on the farm loan board and
would resign his office August 1. has
revived political gossip and specu-
lation here, which had somewhat SUBJ
sided during the past few days. The
field is full of candidates, prospec-
tive candidates and those whom their
friends think it is necessary to send
to Washington to save tie nation IN
this critical time of readjustment. OF
those definitely announced to sue
ceed Mr.. Lever are John Hughes
Cooper, an attorney, Of Columbia;
Hampton P. Fullmar, of Norway, for
merly a Representative in the South
Carolina House of Representatives
from Orangeburg County; Geo. Bell
Zimmerman, of Lexington, solicitor
of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit and
Ed. C. Mann, of St. Matthews, solcl-
tor from the First Judicial Circuit. Of
those who have been mentioned as
possible candidates are: Tom b.
Pearce, of Columbia, State Senator
from Richland County; Colin S. Mon
teth, city attorney, of Columbia;
William Banks Dove, of Columbia,
Secretary of State; Thomas G. Nc
Leod, of Bishopville, formerly Lieu
tenant Governor; B. Hart Moss, an
attorney, of Orangeburg; 7. M. Ray
sor, an attorney of Orangeburg and
Thomas Brantly, a lawyer of Orange
burg.
There has been some talk that the
"reform faction" would put into the
field w. A. James, of Bishopville, for
mer member of the House from Lee
county and chairman of the Blease
convention here October 25, 1916,
which launched the so-called IRE
formed Party" However, there has
been no confirmation of these ru-
mors.

(Fla.) Times by Hugh G. Macfar-
lane, chairman of the Tampa Indus
trial Bureau. Under the heading,
''Tampa Became Too Sure Of Her
Future and Has Been a Loser" Mr.
Macfarlane states:
| Ten years ago one class of citi-
zens argued that the foundation Of
the city was firmly laid and that it
was no longer necessary to offer in
ducements for new industries, for we
were Of sufficient importance to hold
everything that we had and that 9TH
ers would come without expense to
US. That if anything was done in
the way of city building It should be
along other lines. They secured a
following because their projects were
portrayed in pleasing language, and
the unthinking will always follow the
man or set of men that promises to
give something for nothing, but
thinking men know that things Of
value can only be had for a price.
We all now realize that a mistake
was made; that since we slackened
in industrial development we have
not increased our wealth and popu-
lation at the same rate; that many
of our merchants have suffered dis
tress and have been praying for re-
lief, and that whatever relief they
have had has come from an increase
of industrial workers during the past
two years
The Industrial Bureau promises to
bring diversified industries into Tam
pa that Will give employment to a
great number Of people at fair wages,
and that these industries, shall be
such as can operate here as success
fully as elsewhere. They do not IN
tend to part with the ownership or
deliver to any manufacturer anything
of value until he has an established
business in successful operation and
sufficient capital to operate that busi-
ness. They intend that every dol
lar bestowed as an inducement shall
be spent in the erection of perma-
nent factory buildings, so that II
one manufacturer from any cause
suspends operations another can oc-:
cupy the same building. They pro-
pose that these factory buildings
shall be erected on a tract Of land
owned by the industrial corporation,
and that the appreciation in value
and sale of the adjoining lands will
pay fair profit to the stockholders,
as we'll as the expense Of building
the factory. The business men. of
Tampa should be the stockholders in
this corporation, for they will derive
all the benefits accruing therefrom.
The foregoing clearly indicates
that one city at least which has been
charged with neglecting its oppor-
tuniteis is beginning to throw off its
drowsiness.
