Go to Aid of Women
In Ford In the Rain,
Gallants Are Drenched

Shade of Sir Walter Raleigh, chiv-
airy and valor are not forgotten arts
Ihe mad race after money and wild
! scramble in pursuit Of business have
not turned mems minds from. the
courteous acts Of kindness toward
the weaker sex, as was proved dur
ing a recent drenching downpour Of
rain.
Two young women were caught In
the shower in Ford. The zone man"
top was neatly folded back Of the
| rear seat, and nicely encased in a
patent cover at the time they were
overtaken by the deluge. Fearing
more for their summer hats and their
naturally" curly tresses than they
did for the Ford, they deserted the
car and sought refuge in q nearby
doorway.
1t happened that at just this time
two men also were waiting for the
showers to stop in this same door,
way. After waiting few minutes
until she thought their association
in the doorway was of the necessary
length required by convention, one
OF the girls. asked II the men would
be so kind as to put their top UP
for them.
Thoughts Of wet B. v. DIS, together
with wet feet and the cost of getting
a suit pressed entered the mind Of
the one man. but only the vision Of
Queen Elizabeth tripping lightly
across the velveteen coat of that
pioneer ladies' man. jumped before
the eyes Of the other. He Immediately
accepted the charge for he and his
companion, and they proceeded to
dodge the rain drops to the street
where they found the Ford somewhat
damp but not dissolved.
Now the patent cover had direc-
lions for removing, but In the haste
OF the young women to seek shelter
they had mislaid them. It would not
come off. They tussed and they
pulled for a half hour In the rain,
and the wetter they got, the less
valiant they appeared.
Finally after a period of great nm
rest on the part Of the women, one
OF them ventured forth to show the
two men how to turn the trick. The
top was up at last, and thinking their
assistance was no longer necessary.
the men turned to leave.
Wont you crank it for us7"
chirped one, who had started the at
fair.
Now, whether one of the men who
had displayed reluctance at the start
was the owner of Ford, or whether
the descending watsr had dampened
his none to fervent ardor, is not
known, but be did not offer any as
sistance to his companion, who turn
ed the crank with an unyielding
tenacity that was remarkable.
Now 1t is generally known that a
wet Ford is as hard to start as q
hard coal base burner, and, as the
rain fell. the man cranked. The
Precipitation that should have stood
out on his brow, WAS washed into the
gutter. But, in spite OF the woman,
who toyed with the spark and gas
lever. the Ford started
Good bye" called back the driver,
as the Ford sailed down the street
leaving the Lotharios to drip "un-
wept. unhonored and unsung."

Better Retire From Letter
ship OF Party Says
Nebraskan.

Greenville, Jan. 22.-William Jea-!
nings Bryan, when shown the state
ment of Homer S. Cummings, chair
man of the Democratic National
Committee, tonight, declared the
position of Mr.. Cummings of i'm
partialty as regards candidates for
the Democratic nomination for Pres
ident was not sufficient to justify
his presence at the inaugural din
ner given Governor Edward l. Ed
wards, of New Jersey, Tuesday
night. Mr.. Bryan characterized Mr..
Cummings presence at the dinner
"inexcusable" ands said that if
Mr.. Cummings thinks it his duty
to lend his official presence to the
starting of such boom, he had bet
ter retireSs the management OF
the party long enough to get ac-
quainted with the sentiment, of the
party and the country"
Says Edwards is Insult.
Mr.. Bryan, in formal statement,
declared that reports of the Edwards
banquet indicated that the inaugcn'a-.
ton was incidental and the starting
of the Presidential boom was the
important thing. with three-fourths
of the Democratic members > voting
for submission and with every Demo
cratic State. ratifying the prohibition
amendment, and with the liquor traf-

nation, Mr.. Cummings ought to
know that the Edwards candidacy is
an insult to the Democratic party"
said Mr.. Bryan.

The former Secretary of State said
Mr.. Cummings knew Governor Ed

"as wet as the Atlantic ocean," and
announced after his election that ne
would prevent, if possible, enforce

New Jersey. He declared that If Mr..
Cummings had any sympathy with
the Edwards boom, he was not fit to
be the head of the Democratic or
ganization, and if he was not intelh-
gent enough to recognize the injury
he was doing the party by processing
impartiality between the Edwards
boom and Legitimate candidates.

NEW MOVES ARE
MADE IN FIGHT
FOR PEACE PACT

Washington, Jan. 21.-Three new
treaty compromise moves are in the
making in the senate, where the best
informed observers now have given
up hope that the bipartisan confer
,ences in Senator Lodges Office will
get anywhere"
This belief persisted today in spite
of mysterious assurances by Lodge
that the conferees had "agreed on
something" at yesterdays session. He
would not divulge what the agree
ment covers, but said It is pot Article
1O or the Lenroot reservation on vot-
ing power. This leaves the Monroe
doctrine and Shantung, the other
chief points of controversy, and it
vas generally believed that if any,
thing was agreed on, it was Shantung
The three compromise moves which
are to be tried when the failure of
the Lodge conferences has been DEM
onstrated are:
Mild reservationists propose to
move that the treaty be called up in
the senate, to give everybody who
has reservations an opportunity to
cffer them in open session. This
would involve reopening the whole
treaty debate.
2-Senator Underwood announced
he will seek a vote on his resolution
for an official conciliation commit
tee, stating that such a committee
could at least poll the senate and
present conclusive evidence as to
the possibility of compromise. If the
polls showed no compromise possible,
the senate could then turn in earnest
% some other means of bringing
about, officially, state of peace with
Germany, Senator Underwood said.
Ex-senator King and other demo-
Gratis, with some republicans, will
circulate a round robin for caucus
Of the treaty's friends, regardless of
party. Senator Kings plan would
get the support of a dozen or less,
senators predicted today, pointing
out that it involved an insurrection
by democrats against Senator Hitch
cocks leadership and by republicans
against Senator Lodge.

MAJOR FULP REELECTED,
MRS. SHELLEY NEW
TEACHER AT MILL

Major James D. Fulp, the present
efficient Superintendent Of the city
schools, has been reelected as super
intendent of the schools for another
year. His salary was increased from
$4,000 now paid to $4,000, which is
considerable increase, but the
Board was not willing to lose his SER
vices, and he was offered this amount
elsewhere. The fact is that he wa.
offered considerably more for the
present year than we have been pay
ing him, ,but he stood by the terws of
his contract made with the trustees
earlier in the year, which is not ha-
bit with some school teachers.
Prof. J. M. Daniel has been re-
elected as Principal at the. High
School for another year and will &C
cept the position. Mr.. Daniel has
made most acceptable teacher and
the patrons of, the school generally
will be pleased, we think, to know
that he will return next year.
Just as soon as the legislature acts
on the bills looking to increased reve-
rue in this school district the trustees
will begin the selection of teachers
foy the grades. 1t is the purpose of
trustees to vote substantial increases
in salaries for all teachers next year,
and to make the salaries paid here as
high as they are in any of the schools
Of the state.
Mrs. James Shelley has accepted a
position as teacher in the Abbeville
Cotton Mill school and took up her
work Thursday morning. Mrs. Shell
