Complimentary Opposition.

The New York Socialists, at the open
ing of their national convention in New
York City, on Saturday. gave enthusiastic
applause to the addresses that were
made, especially to one in which the
speaker made the most vindictive as
saults upon President Wilson. They ac-
cepted his denunciations as fully express
sive of their opinions. and howled with
delight at the bittercst invectives the
speaker hurled at him.
How rejoiced Senator Lodge. Senator
johnson, Senator Borah, Senator La
Toilette and other partisan Republicans
who are now engaged in the congonial
task of fighting President Wilson,
must have been on reading his wholesale
and sincere Endorsement of their position
by the representative Socialists OF the
country in national convention assembled
How they must have impulsively held
out their hands to this open and bitter
opponents of vicious hostility to our
popular form of government, and welcon-
ed them to full comradeship in a common
cause
The Socialists nominated Eugene v.
Debs as their candidate for President, not
withstanding he is confined in prison
under sentence for offences against the
honor and integrity of the United States.
There may be possibility, however, that
this nomination will be withdrawn later,
and the candidate for President salts
factory to Lodge, Johnson, Borah and La
Toilette indorsed in his stead. The feeling
Of fellowship between these four Senators
and the Socialists is such that action OF
this kind would be only natural. They
stand on common ground, and are actuat-
ed BY similar motives.

Money for Mothers Pensions.

The Senate unanimously passed the
bill increasing the appropriation for
mothers pensions. giving 5000 extra

each 10 Kent and sussex New Castle
county is giving 46 pensions, and has
waiting list Of 81 names, for which, under
the old appropriation, nothing could he

need, and II was the plain duty Of the
Legislature, if il Is 10 have Mothers
Pension law at all, 10 give large enough
appropriation 10 make II effective.
Sussex county has waiting list Of SIX
names and Is giving So pensions Kent

permanently an invalid. or . deserter, Is
eligible, if OF good character and mental
fitness. toreceive nine dollars a month Tor
one child. and FIVE dollars for each addi-
tional child.
The work Of the commission has been
seriously handicapped by lack Of sufficient
funds. II is hoped that the House will
follow the good work Of the Senate and
vote for the increased appropriation. The
present appropriation is $1,000 year 70
each county, with each Levy Court
authorized to spend like amount. This
sum, however, has proved inadequate in
New Castle county and also has been out
grown in Sussex county.

pointed very able one in Henry Morgen-

But partisan Senate refuses to confirm

CITY SHOULD
HAVE A PEANUT
SMELLING PLANT

Sooner or later some one is going
70 put in a Peanut Shelllng Plant in
Americus. 1t is bound to come simply
because It Is needed, and because it is
Z good thing. 1t will not only be a
good thing for Americus and for the
farmers Of Sumter county, but is an
enterprise that viii prove very profit
able 20 the man who is wide awake
enough 10 recognize this opportunity.
Going into the shelling business
does not require any great outlay of
money. You d. not even have to go
&c the expense Of erecting a special
building. Almost any warehouse build
ing can be used. The space occupied
viii be 80 small that you will still
have the greater part of your building
left for storage.
Peanut shelling machinery has be-
come 50 thoroughly standardized that
now It IS built in Units. A man start
ing in this business usually puts in
only one unit, and later adds more
units as conditions justify. These
units are each composed of a number
Of highly efficient machines, and each
machine has a special duty to per
form. The peanuts after being deliv-
cred on the first machine are car
ried rapidly through the different op-
eratIons OF Cleaning, Stoning, Shell
ling, Grading and picking, and are
then discharged right into the bags
ready for shipment to the Northern
markets.
The class of work turned out by
NE
than that turned out by many of the
older and larger Shelling Plants. Most
of these older Plants were built and
equipped before modern and up-to-
date machines now used were dsign-
ed. With one of these modern She'll
ing Units and your supply of peanuts
night at your door, you need not wor-
ry about competition for you will
| have such big saving in your cost of
| operation and the saving in freight
charges on your raw material that
l you will be in position to compete
with the best of them.
With the large crop of peanuts be-
/ ing grown in this and adjoining coun-
ues' Americus is the logical place for
a modern Shelling Plant. No doubt
the big interests in the shelling busi-
ness already have their eye on Amer
/ lcus. Why not build yours first and
/ keep out competition? Why not talk
tins proposition over with some of
your friends and put in a plant in
stead of allowing outsiders come in
and build one and carry off all the
/ profits?
Let us furnish you with blue prints
and detailed information as to cost,
etc. of one of these Smelling Units,
also the big profits that are made in
Smelling peanuts.
