Bill For Postoffice at Lake City

The following bill has been intro
duced in the House of Representatives
by Congressman Philip Stoll, Of this
district. The bill explains itself.
"a bill for the purchase of a post
office site at Lake City, South Caro-
lima.
"Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
sembled, That the secretary of the
treasury be, and is hereby authoriz-
ed and directed to purchase a site, or
acquire it by condemnation or other
wise, in the town of Lake City, in the
State of South Carolina, to be used
for the erection of public building
for the use and accommodation Of a
post office and other government Of
fees, the cost of said site not to ex-
ceed $4,000"

made before this object can be accom-
plished. We hope that the financial
situation will soon be so that this bill
can reasonably pass and suitable
postoffice building erected here. We
thank Mr.. Stoll for putting our
name in the pot."-Lake City News.

NEW YEAR GIFT
Henry Ford Industries Give sS,000,000
Bonus to Employees

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 31.-Henry Ford
and his son, Edsel Ford, announced
today the distribution of $8,000,000
bonus among the $4,000 employees of
all branches of the Ford interests and
the Inauguration of an investment
plan whereby every worker, from the
man who wields a broom to the chief
executives, may participate in the
profits of the business.
Bonuses, which will be paid in cash,
come in addition to the proft-sharing
plan which was inaugurated several
years ago and which will be contin-
ued. 1t is the intention of the Ford or
ganization to make the distribution OF
these bonuses an annual event if the
earnings of the company permit.
In cash and in the number of men
concerned, and without counting the
moral effect on industry as a whole
this act of economic justice surpasses
anything in the history of labor.
The lowest award paid goes to
men who are receiving the minimum
pay of Sc day and who have been in
the employ of the various companies
three months. 1t amounts to $50. The
highest award goes to the skilled
workers who have been with the COM
pany five years and who are receiving
S1O.8O a day. The bonus received by
the latter amounts to S270.
Employees who receive a salary Will
also receive bonuses. Ability and
length of service will be the standard
on which the awards will be based.

U. D. c. MAKES DRIVE
Local Chapter Urges Those Eligible
To Become Members

To all those who so kindly assisted
us in preparing and giving the tacky
party last Friday evening, and to
those who showed us special favors,
the Williamsburg Chapter U. D. C.
wishes to extend thanks.
Just now the chapter has on men,
bership drive. We feel that there are
many others who are eligible and
would like to join our chapter if the
matter were only brought to mind.
Probably there are some holding de-
mits from other chapters. To these
we extend most cordial invitation
to pace their membership with us.
At the last annual convention held
in Columbia in December, it was i'm
pressed upon the Daughters that they
could build no greater monument to
the Confedercy than by joining and
giving their loyal support to the Unit
ed Daughters of the Confederacy.
Our old veterans are fast passing
away. Each year it becomes more diff
ficult to become a member of the U.
D. C.. because the application for
membership must be signed and ap-
proved by two veterans. Also the gen.
eral organization has been working
hard to pass more stringent rules gov
erning membership application.
This is not social organization
principally, as some uninformed seem
to think. 1t is an organization that
strives to show its appreciation OF
what our men did by aiding and as
sisting all worthy veterans and WI
dows of veterans, by making it possi-
BILE for their descendants to secure
good education through our scholar
loan fund, to preserve Confederate
history, and to answer any worthy
call that comes to us.
We need large membership for
the support it gives us. 1t is the duty
of every women in this county who is
proud of her Confederate ancestry to
prove it by assisting US in what we
are endeavoring to do.
Application blanks may be had by
APPLYING either to the president or to
the registrar, Miss Agness Erckmann'
Let US have the support of your in
terest now.

FIGHT AGAINST REDS PROM
ISES TO BE LONG ONE
Radicals Fortified by Strong Legal
Talent and "Slush Fund" to FL
nance Opposition

Washington, Jan. 5.-The govern
ment's campaign to rid the nation OF
the more than 5000 aliens, members
of the communist and communist la
Dor parties arrested in the recent
raids, promises to be a long-drawn
out fight, Department of Justice Off
cials declared tonight. With the radi-
calls fortified by strong legal talent
and "slush fund" to finance their
opposition to deportation and the i'm
migration service inadequately sup
piled either with the men or the
means to handle the situation, the
help of Congress was considered abb
solutely necessary by officials.
Anthony Caminetti, commissioner
general of immigration, appeared be-
fore the House appropriations commit
tee during the day with an appeal for
funds to allow expansion of his force
to deal with the hundreds of details
involved in completing the deporta-
ton proceedings. The commissioners
asked for at east ten more lawyers.
Department of Justice officials have
promised assistance, but the need for
a greater legal staff than is in pros
pect even with the help of attorney
Generals Palmer's staff was keenly
felt, Mr.. Caminetti said.
Officials also explained that
throughout the country the work OF
perfecting cases against the radicals
held would be slow, because Of the
small number of immigration inspec-'
tors. Added to this fact, revealed by
information obtained in the raids, that
the radicals have been instructed to
make use of every form Of delay
known to the legal world.
The problem of prison facilities en-
gagged the attention of the officials OF
both the Department of Justice and
immigration authorities, asEllis
Island, where hitherto all persons held
for deportation were kept while the
routine of deportation work was be-
ing completed, is overcrowded.
Secretary Baker announced he had
instructed Major Gen. Bullard, COM
manding the Department of the East,
to provide detention camp for the
use of the Department of Justice. 1t
was understood this would be camp
Upton, because of its proximity to the
port Of New York, from which the
next "Soviet Ark" will sail. Officials
were inclined to the opinion that a
second camp might also be necessary
as a concentration point. If another
is chosen, it will be in the Middle
West, it was stated.
In view of the departments plans
to continue the arrest of known COM
munist and communist labor party
members, federal agents in the border
districts were instructed to guard
closely against attempts of the radl-
Gals to escape into either Mexico or
Canada. It is apparent that officials
had information that the "reds" were
in fight in many sections, but conf

Mr.. ]. MOULTRIE TRULUCK
Prominent Lake City Business Man
Passes Away

Lake City, Jan. 2.-J. Moultrie Tru-
luck, following second stroke of pa
ralysis at his home about 8 o'clock
last night, died this morning about l
o'clock. He suffered the first stroke
about year and half ago while mo-
toring between Camden and Bishop
vile, from which he never fully re-
covered, but for the past year had
been able to be about his business as
usual, and the news of his death was
a shock to his many friends and rela-
tives when announced this morning.
He was the second son of B. c. and
the late Mrs. Dora Truluck, of the
Olanta section, and besides his iather
the following brothers and sisters
survive him: Martin, L. R. and Mrs.
B. R. Furlick, of Lake City; Mrs.
Knight, of Oklahoma; Fred w. Tru-
luck, of Marion; Mrs. Paul Keels, OF
Hartsville; and B. c. Truluck, Jr., Of
Andrews.
At the beginning Of the Spanish
American war Mr.. Truluck volunteer
ed for service and was with the army
in Cuba. Very soon after the army was
demobilized he engage in the horse
and mule sales business for two or
three years in Timmonsville, but about
1902 came to Lake City as partner
with the late ]. S. McClam, which
partnership existed most pleasantly
and proftably for more than four
years, when Mr.. Truluck took over
the entire business on his own ac-
count He built the first modern brick
sales and feed stable here in 1909,
and subsequently block of several
stores, and also the new Biltmore
Hotel.
Mr.. Truluck was most successful IN
all his business enterprises and on ac-
count of his generous and affable dis
position, numbered his friends by the
score. About 1906 he was married to
Miss Annie Sutcliff, of this place, and
she, with her one little son, j. NJ. Tru-
luck, Jr., also survive him.
At the time Of his death Mr.. Tru-
luck was about forty-onc years of
age and had quite recently been elect
ed to the presidency of the Peoples
Bank, which, with a capital stock Of
100000 fully paid in, expects tc open
it's doors for business on January 5.
The funeral services over the body
of Mr.. Truluck were held at Lake
City Saturday afternoon at the Bap-
tist church. The Rev w. R. Smith
conducted the services. On account
of the late Mr.. Truluck's personal
popularity and his prominence in the
community, there was large attend
ance at the funeral. The body was
placed at rest in the church cemetery.

SUPT. SWEARINGEN
Enumerates Changes He Would Like
To See in Our Schools

In a letter recently received by
superintendent of education, j. G. Nc
Cullough from State superintendent
]. E. Swearingen, in which the latter
sets forth "some of the things he
would like to see in Williamsburg
county," as follows:
Columbia, S. C. Dec. 80, 1919.
Supt. j. G. Mccullough,
Kingstree, S. c.
Dear SIR
/. A more definite, more compact,
clearer marking out of school dis
trict boundaries. This can be done by
the county board of education under
Section 173S of the Code.
2. A program in many districts
for adequate housing accommodations.
Not few of the schools of Williams
burg need building space. Of course
these houses should be properly seat
ed and properly equipped. Some of
the modern buildings already in use
need blackboards, desks, mays and Ii
braries.
8. Minimum school term of seven
months for every white child. This
would require almost uniform vot-
ing of the eight mill tax levy in most
of your districts. This tax campaign
needs to be undertaken at once.
4. Some constructive policy for in
teresting the negroes in the better
ment of their schools. Nearly every
where throughout the State the condi-
ton of negro schools needs improving.
You would, of course, have to work on
this item tactfully, sympatheticaliy
and with the active endorsement OF
your white people. One of the first
steps would be the employment Of an
industrial teacher with the aid Of the
Jeanes fund.
5. The enforcement Of the Com
pulsory Attendance Law has already
shown some benefits. Every child be-
tween eight and fourteen should be
brought into school this year and
should be kept in the classroom four
months or longer
6. An active county organization
of your teachers should be formed Tor
professional growth and community
service. I should like to have an ex-
preston of your views concerning
this item.
7. An association of district trus-
tees ought to prove serviceable and
stimulating. Meetings of the trustees
should be held in May and in August.
The spring meeting could discuss the
results of the year and the August
meeting could plan the program for
the next year.
8. The active cooperation Of the
State Board of Health should be en-
listed in the campaign for an all-time
county health officer. Of course,
money to support these activities
would have to be provided from some
other source than the school fund.

UNDOUBTEDLY the place to look
- for sharks is in the depths Of the
ocean. There are plenty Of them there.
The marine abysses are known to DO
the home Of many extraordinary and
even monstrous species Of animals; but
we have small opportunity to get ae-
Quainted with them because it is only
once in a while that specimens are
found floating or stranded. To cap
ture them with dredge-nets is almost
impossible; even those Of relatively
small size are too swift, too wary and
too cunning.
The pressure at a depth Of three
miles is at least two tons to the square

habitat unwisely ventures too high up,

One Of these finny species, called the
'black swallower," is nearly all mouth,
and is able to devour fishes ten, or twelve :
times as big as itself, climbing over
the victim first with one jaw and then
with the other. Occasionally after such
4 meal it dies of indigestion and is
brought to the surface by the expansion
Of gases in it's stomach. Five speci-
men have been secured in this way.
Another, having no power of loco
motion (say the scientists), lives buried
in the soft ooze of the bottom, only
its head protruding, waiting to engulf
any prey that may wander into its
enormous jaws.
Yet another, with a long, eel like
tail, has jaws several times the length
Of its head, the skull proper being in
the front part Of the upper jaw. Thanks
to this arrangement, it's jaws being
hung like those of a serpent, it can
easily swallow creatures much bigger
than itself.
The so-called ''oarfsh'' Of the depths,
forty feet long, is shaped like
a huge snake and can swim as fast rs
an express train. An extraordinary
species that has been named '~.pelican''
is not in the least like any fish famil-
lar to US. 1t swims Al a whale does,
