SUMTER WOMAN REJECTS
FUTURE PRESIDENTsSSUfT

Referring to the story printed in Tho
Times last week ,about the boyhood
days of Andrew jackson ip-the Was-
haw settlement on the line between
North Carolina and South Carolina.
Mr.. G. c. MeIlwain of Fort Mill re-
lated another interesting story of a
president of the United States.
Did you know, 2 asked Mr. Nell
vain, that Andrew johnson, who
succeeded to the presidency upon the
death OF Lincoln was once q resident
OF South Carolina7 We'll, he was, and
an incident occurred in his life while
he was making his. home in thisn State
that may be worth telling. johnson.
as all know, was a tailor. About the
time he reached his majority he moved
from Raleigh, N. c., to Sumter and
set up in business for himself. He
was a good looking. affable young man
with a bright mind and consequently
made friends quickly in his new home
town. Among the number was an
especially attractive young woman, q
member Of one of the. .community's Is
highly esteemed families. She en-
couraged the attention johnson wished
to show her and in short time their
friendship had developed to the point
which often leads to marriage; but
like a dutiful daughter the girl told
her parents of the feeling she and the
'handsome young tailor had for each
other and sought an expression of
their wishes in the matter.
S"Johnson's social status and his
occupation did not appeal to the girls
parents, but they hit upon a. better
plan of convincing her that he was un-
desirable as q husband by telling her
he was an ignoramus who could not
even read or write. The thought Of
becoming the wife of an illiterate man
was not at all attractive to the girl. 80
she made up her mind to learn whether
her parents had been misinformed.
The next time johnson called to see
her she discovered, byaa simple little
ruse that IL was-' indeed true that he
could neither read nor write. The
fact SO impressed the girl that she did
not lose much time: in telling him that
he need not press his suit further.
| E''Shortly afterwards Johnson closed
his tailor shop in Sumter and returned
to Raleigh, where he found the future
Mrs. johnson who taught him TO read
and write after their marriage And
behold!-a future president of the
United States.
'The career of Andrew Johnson is
one Of the most remarkablei In the
history Of the country. Hes was a
strong man and had wonderful
memory. otherwise he never could
have reached the highest Office in the
gift of the American people. johnson
was not popular in the South, because
he was a Union mans at8the time the
Union was decidedly unpopular in this
section, but he was nevertheless man
Of unusuaf mentality. , IShayej often
wondered in what esteem the Sumter
girl and her parents held their judgment
in rejecting the friendship of the
handsome young tailor. II he thought
of the incident at all in after years it
was perhaps to thank the good Lord
for leading his footsteps 70 the woman
who as his wife helped and encouraged
him as few women could have done. -

FOOD PRICES GO
 UP, CROPS ROT
Farmers and Consumers Suffer at Profiteers Hands While
 Government Looks On.

While the prices of 22 food articles were jumping two per cent. ln price at Washington during July, truck farmers of Maryland and Virginia were com pelled to leave farm products rot in the fields because they could not com mand a price for them that would jus tify their transport to the capital, says Labor" in a recent issue.
 While the farmer at the one end and the consumer at the other were being exposed to shameless extortion, the middlemen between were reap1ng large and steadily increasing profits. The Federal Bureau of Labor statistics, in its summary of food price trends for July, explains that the consumer is paying two per cent. more for food, but it does not attempt to explain why the producer, oppressed by the middle man, is forced to sacrifice his year S labor because he cannot market his pro- duce at a price that will make him square.
 Farmers receive 10 cents as the high price for tomatoes and the consumer gets them at Is to 20 cents per quarter peck. Sugar corn brings the grower 25 to 30 cents a dozen and the con- sumner is compelled to pay"75 cents for
 
 40 cents per ear is charged by prof. teering food vendors.
 Farmers are compelled to pay $l.25 to have a barrel of beans picked and when they get them to Washington they are offered $1 for them. The con- sume pays from $o.50 to $8 a barrel for beans. Cabbage brings the farmer so cents a barrel and the middlemen retail them at from 10 to 20 cents per pound. ~
 Since 1913 retail prices have increased 121 per cent in Washington and 139 per cent. in Detroit, where the highest food prices hold. Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Portland and San Francisco showed less than 100 per cent. increase. During the past year the highest in crease was recorded at Springfield, H., where the kings of the prohteers ev1- dent1y have their headquarters.
 The farmer cannot be held responsi- duced food to his own detriment In his desire to feed the race he is in danger of starving himself. The con- sumner, always helpless, is not blamable for the high prices, since he IS anxious to buy as cheaply as possible. The trouble, then, must rest with the mid dlemen, and finally with the Govern ment, which permits two large and worthy classes of its people to be held up and robbed by comparatively few of heartless privateers who stand be- tween the farmer and the ultimate con sumner. s...-s ~r
 While the consumer is wrestling with increasing costs and the farmer with starvation wages, the Department of Justice remains inactive. Since the prohteer Is immune right under the dome of the national Capitol, it is scarcely possible that he is in danger at more remote points. -.

GoMPERs SOUNDS WARNING

Employers of labor must make no further attempts to force the working people to vote as they want them by frightening them by shutting down of factories and the reducing of wages, de- c1ared Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, at the opening session of the New York State Federation of Labor recently.
 "We found such condition recently existing in a number of plants" said the labor chief, "and particularly in the woolen mills of New England and in the Pennsylvania Railroad company's affairs, where attempts are being made to shut down factories and to reduce wages. There is not now in the store houses of the country sufficient to meet the needs of the people and the shutting down is for the obvious pur- pose of repeating the old policy of the corporations and big business to fright en the people by telling them if they vote one way they will be kept out of work.
 We shall see further such attempts as the weeks go on until election day." he declared. If such attempts are made he was satisfied that the working people of the United States will give the an- swer:
 Either take off your coercion or you'll have to do your own work"

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
Of HOT WATER
Wash poisons and toxins from
system before putting
food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb ilnpuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food taken into
the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste
material must be carried out of the
body. If this waste is not eliminated
day by day is quickly ferments and
generates poisons, gases and toxins
which are absorbed or sucked into the
blood stream through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment.
drink, before breakfast each DAY,
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
OF limestone phosphate in it, which
is harmless way to wash these poi
sons from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and freshening the alimentary
canal before eating more food.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
store, but is sufficient to make any,

are expected to carry on some form of
practical farm work under the direc-
ton of the agricultural teacher, usual
