Chief OF Police Barwick announced

speeding that is being done on the
streets OF Sumter. He has tried to be
lenient on offenders hoping that they
would mend their ways and give him
a square deal for the one nc was Civ.

they do not know how to take it and
he Is determined to put on the screws
and stop the SPEEDING by going the
limit of the law ...
There have been several accidents
and narrow escapes in town lately.
The writer OF this article was at the
railroad crossing on Manning avenue

up the street at a high rate OF speed.
a freight train was coming and an en-
ployee OF the railroad was about 10
feet beyond the tracks waving the
speeder down. The driver paid no at
tention to the warning however, until
he was right on the employee and saw
the train. He then put on the brakes
but could not stop before he ran into
the train which proceeded to turn the
car around. the driver narrowly es-

OPPONENTS OF SUFFRAGE
RECEIVE SETBACK
Chief Justice Smith Denies Pc
tition of Opponents of Ratifi-
cation

Nashville, Sept. AT the request Of
'he house of representatives Governor
Roberts late tonight forwarded to
Secretary of State Colby i certified
copy Of the journal of that body Of
last Tuesday when the attempt was
made to rescind its previous action
upon the federal suffrage amendment
by nonconcurring in the action of the
senate in ratiiying.
In transmitting the papers the gov
ernor merely attached a statement that
the attached paer is full, true and
correct copy Of transcript of all en-
tries appearing on the journal upon
Tuesday and that the clerk had,
authority to- make and certify to the
correctness of the transcript which
was sent.
Transmission of the journal to
Washington was not regarded tonight
by. the suffragists as affecting the
validity of the proclamation previously
issued by Secretary Colby Of the rati-
hcation Of the 10th amendment They
pointed out that Governor Roberts did
not certify what action the house had
| taken or as to legality of effect but
merely that the papers attached to
| his certification were a correct copy
| of the journal on the day mentioned
therein. Rx&
The anti-ratiflcat tioniSts, however,
were jubilant tonight because they in
terpreted this sending of the statement
OF the house action to Secretary Colby
as meaning that this record would be-

be used in the courts to overthrow
the validity of the suffrage amend
ments ratification by Tennessee.
| Washington, Sept. 3.-Opponents OF
woman suffrage received a temporary
/ setback today in their efforts to expe-
dite appeal from the decision of JUS
tice Bailey Of the District of Colum-
bia supreme court refusing an in
junction to prevent Secretary Colby
| from promulgating the 18th amend
ment Chief Justice Smith of the dis
l trict court Of appeals denied the pc
tition of amendment opponents as rep
resented in the American constitu-
,tional league for certiflcation Of the
case to the United States supreme
| court without waiting for decision
by the APPELLATE tribunal.
The chief justice held that he lacked
Eauthority to certify under decision OF
the United States supreme court which
held that such ccrtification could be
made only where the decision Of the
local appellate tribunal was final. AS
there is a constitutional question in
volved in the suffrage case there
would be a right TO appeal from de-
cision of the court of appeals to the
United States supreme court.
Counsel, however, have not aban-
doned hope Of getting the appeal to
highest court before election, and
when the supreme court meets on Oc-
tober Is, an effort will be made to get
! the appeal before the court.

GRADER !.
!. IN SUMTER
Sims Succeeds Burts as Official
g. For County
FARMERS SHOULD PA
TRONIZE LOCAL OFFICE
Should Have Cotton Graded,
Placed in Warehouses and
Sold Comparatively

Mr.. B. Sims, the new government
cotton grader has arrived in Sumter
to take the place Of Mr.. r.. L. Burts,
who resigned to accept q position else
where. Mr.. Sims has had eight years
experience in grading and handling
cotton and should be fully competent
to arbitrate between the farmers and
cotton buyers. 1t is up to the farm
ers Of Sumter county to patronize the
government cotton graders office and
inform himself, so that he may be in
as good position TO deal with the
buyer as the buyer who always main :
taihs- a specialist in cotton grading.
Mr.. E. 1. Seiford the government
rgrader who made the Orangeburg
market so popular last year, has
been appointed to have charge OF the
government graders in South Carolina
and will visit the offices of all the
government graders from time to- time
and check them Up to see if they know
their business, and that they are
grading according to government
standards, and not in the interest of
either the farmers or the buyers The
government cotton graders office is
located on Liberty street in the Rear
don building, two doors from the City
National banE building. =. 4
The time has arrived when we
should have our cotton graded, plac I'd
In warehouse and sell it cooperative-
ly I'm lots to the man who will pay
tho highest price. We have heard
buyers say that they could afford to
ray more for hundred bale lots OF the
same grade and staple, and as the
market looks at present the farmer
certinly needs all he can get at pres.
Ient for his cotton and then some
more. t~-a E.. .".... .af..

| Clemson College, Sept. 2.-The ex.
tension service of Clemson college act.
ing for the bureau Of markets and the
South Carolina Cotton association, has
appointed 10 official cotton graders 70,
as many counties in South Carolina
| These graders are to give disinterested
information to farmers and cotton
buyers concerning the grade and
length of staple of cotton presented
tothe grader for that purpose. The
standards Of the bureau of markets
VIII, of course, be used in this work
The work is supported largely by the
local county cotton associations. and
In many instances, small fee per bale
VIII be charged to help meet the ex-
penses of the grading work. ~.
A point of Importance to Know is
that the graders will be of service and
value not only to the cotton market a,
the town in which the graders are
located, but also to the other cotton
growers Of the country and section
Farmers from other parts of the coun-
try may bring Or send samples OF
their cotton TO the official grader, and
thus get the benefit of his service.

THEk1ER's ORIGIN FAR BACK
May 81 rraced to Festival. Held in
Honor Of the Psychological
God Bacehus.

Thinking back for the origin Of any
theatrical performance our pinds mt
uralIy revert first to Shakespeare and
his Globe theater. Some Of us would
60 back a little further; and many Of
us would choose Moliere, the plays he
wrote and staged, often; in the open,
for the vain Louis and then, in his own
theater, where. while he was the ia.
vorite Of the king, he was the rage Of
France. y Il;
But these were only steps in the
evolution Of the theater and the play.
For the origin Of all dramatic repre-
sensations we must go back TO the
days ofidol worship, when many gods
were thought to rule the destinies Of
man.
Two brothers, Danaus and Aegyptus,
sons Of Belus, shared the throne OF
Egypt. After particularly heated
quarrel, Danaus,. with his followers,
set sail in. search of a new land where
hScould rule alone. They landed near
the Greek city of Argus, Of (which he
shortly became king.
Here. to celebrate. his good fortune,
he instituted festivals in honor of the
god Raccl,us, who was supposed to
have, Helped TO make his undertaking
successful. These festivals consisted
Of nothing more than riotous reyelry,
interspersed with songs, which, after
the manner Of the day, were most
primitive and often coarse.
But the festivals soon became very
popular and We're held periodically all
over Greece. From this beginning, In
the form of kind Of public worship,
which was the first entertainment or
performance knoy1l- evolved, the the
atrical projects of1ater t,ges which de-
veloped into the institution of the
theater as We know it today. y.

SEEING With the Soul.

What YOU see with your soul helps
determine what you are. The mind
cannot contemplate visions without re-
actions. The deeper the vision the
more potent the reacting influence.
Only surface men. men Of the non
thinking type so through life without
moments of sober sitting at the shrine
Of conscience and there weighing the
problems OF life. When man sees his
power and appreciates that every un.
used vestige detracts in multiplcs he
seeks to turn it to account. And 1t
blesses in proportion to the cnthust-
asm with which 1t is advanced. The
good we do returns with greater power
when it il done without thought of re-
ward. We are In the worldto make the
most of It. We must sec the soul X
we are to gather the full reward of our
possibilities This Is every mans
right.-Grit.
