GREENvILLE

Greenville, August 25.-(Special)- F. Mack has let a contract with the Bodiford Contracting Company to re- model a residence owned by him To- cated on the corner of Adams and Posey streets. The building is two story one and will be converted into an apartment house with three separate apartments. Work will be commenced within the next few days. When com pleted it will be one or the most at- tractive buildings in that part of the city.
 Edward Wilkinson, son of Mir. and Mrs. H. z. Wilkinson. ST, of this city, returned yesterday from Hoboken, where he received his discharge from the army. Young Mir. Wilkinson is the last of the Butler county boys who served with the American expedition ary forces in France. Since the armi stice was signed he has been connected with the provost marshal service and has seen duty in various parts of France and Germany. He left Coblenz during the first part of August and later sailed. arriving in the states about a week ago. He has the distinction of Serving longer than any other But Ter county boy in the A. r. F.
 The farmers of Butler county are again reporting favorable weather, which is being heartily welcomed by them. Rains for the past three weeks have greatly damaged the crops and have given the boil weevil an oppor- tunity to devastate large quantities of young bolls and squares. The crop ex- perts at one time estimated the cotton crop for Butler county at 15.OO0 bales, but unfavorable conditions have caused them to lower their estimate to 12,S0O hall

WANT BUILDING FOR
 NATIONS ARCHIVES

Washington, August 25.-(Special)-- When Congress is next in session, there will be no reason for either party unduly exerting itself in an effort to conserve, for political argument. the financial resources of the country. And it Is anticipated that Congress will appropriate a sum as large as $1,500,000 for the preservation of the priceless records of the government, the very old, and those which resulted from the late war of the nations of the world against Germany.
 This idea has been considered by Congress for many years. In 1913. Congress went to the extent of appro- priating 5000 for the preparation of plans. The plans were prepared, pro- viding for the construction os 6 build Ing costing $1,500,000, offering 100000 cubic feet of floor space. and embrace ing the ideas of the best archive struc- lures of Europe. It was so arranged that from time to time additions could be made whenever judged necessary.
 But the democrats were anxious to make a good financial showing, and the appropriation for the building was postponed The war caused the tenn porary abandonment of the plan. Then the republicans, coming into rower on the eve of presidential campaign, ab- solutely refused to appropriate for anything that was not of the most pressing necessity.
 The priceless records of the govern ment of the United States are stored in boxes inethe old Land Office build- ing, the old Ford theatre. and in tenn porary war structures. It is admitted that the location and delivery of any one of these documents in given length of time would be almost inn possible, or at best dependent on luck There Is grave danger, too, that fires might play havoc with papers which could not be duplicated. or the value of which Is not measurable in terms of money.
 James A. Wetmore, acting supervis- ing architect of the treasury. prepared the plans for ethe proposed structure and Is very hopeful that Congress early in December will furnish the money for the construction of the building. He contends that 1t Is matter of the utmost importance.

SEEDLESS ORANGE TREE HAS UNIQUE HISTORY

Washington. August 25.-(Special)- It is the fiftieth anniversary year of the navel, seedless orange in the United States. The offspring of the dozen shoots sent to Washington fifty years ago is still tenderly nurtured in a de- partment greenhouse.
 The majority of seedless orange trees in the United States have de- scended from this tree. and last year 13. 900. 900 boxes.
 | Here is the history of the local tree: In 1869 the Rev. F. I. c. Schneider. . Presbyterian missionary with head quarters at Bahia, Brazil noticed some very fine oranges that were distin- guished by lack of seed. He obtained dozen sprouts and sent them to a fSiend in the department of agricul- ture, Washington. When they ar- rived, they were dried-lifeless Di- fectons were sent Dr. Schneider as to shipping, and the following year a dozen moist, healthy sprouts were re- ceived.
 One of the trees deVloped from these
 sprouts is that which still exists. and
 which Is the father of all the other
 trees In the country. It has had one

 dry rot But E. M. Byrns tree surgery
 expert. saved it. As orange trees live
 sometimes to be 100 years old. Mr.
 Byrns expects his old favorite to re-
 main on the scene at least another
 fifty years.
 The Rev. pr. Schneider. some time before his death. four years ago. visit
 ed Washington. and the tree. the birth
 sprout of which he had sent from
 Brazil. He announced his satisfaction that his missionary work in Brazil had resulted in material as well as spiritual
 good.

HOUSE WILL WORK
 HINDER RIIDGET SYSTEM

Washington, August 25.-(Special)
 Representative James w. Good of Iowa. chairman of the appropriations com mittee of the House. announces that despite Nadverse Senate action on the House resolution providing for the es- tablishment of a budget, the House, be- ginning December, will appropriate Tn accordance with the budget plan. Under the plan. all legislation carry
 ing an appropriation, will be reported by the appropriations committee. This committee, in order that it might be large enough to embrace all ideas, will be increased to thirty-five members All other committees may recommend appropriations to the appropriations committee, but none of them can put before the House a bill actually pro- viding for the expenditure of money. Committees which from time imfhemo- rial have presented appropriation legis- lation but which will no longer exer- else such function are those on agrl- culture, rivers and harbors, foreign af- fairs, public buildings and grounds and military and naval affairs. Advocates of the budget plan con- tend that under it's operation appropri- ations. will be made in business ike manner It is contended that if one committee passes on all appropria- tions its members will have-and thus Congress will have--a more compre- hensive view of "the situation, aid that business methods will result ih money preservation.
 The Senate will continue under the old system. House members favoraple to the budget plan, however. firmly be- | lieve that the Senate in the inng TUT will come to the House way of think ing. and that Congress. in its entirety will be transformed into business in l stitution.
 Representative Good is most optimis' | tic in his expressions as to how th' 1 budget system will operate. He pre-
 diets that a new era IS about to dawn

Since women will soon be voting In the southern states, the disparity Tn actual votes and number of people oi voting age will not be so great But in all the southern states certain very large percentage of the population finds 1t exceedingly difficult to meet the suffrage requirements, and a con siderable number which otherwise might vote disfranchise themselves rather than pay sthe necessary poland other taxes.
 However, the tinkers" contend that the south in the long run will not De guided by expediency, but will sacrifice its power, if need be, in an effort to do the right and the moral thing.

It Is argued that twice In American history have presidential candidates received the larger popular vote and the smaller electoral vote. The Tilden "steaP' is referred to, and the race in 1888. when Cleveland received 1000, 900 in excess of the Harrison vote. THE FIGURES GIVEN
 Despite the fact that both of the losers in the electoral college were democrats, it is regarded as highly probable that southerners in Congress will violently oppose the amendment
 The following figures show that on strict population basis, southern states, with a popluar vote very much less, are just as powerful In the elec- toral college as normally republican states. the popular vote of which is vastly greater-these figures being the poulation. male and female, of voting ages

WANT AMENDMENT ID DO AWAY WITH ELECTORAL COLLEGE Now Proposed That Presi- dents Be Elected By
 Direct Vote of the
 People
By HUGH w. RoBERTs

Washington. August 25.-(Special.)- Ilnkers of the constitution of the united States are stin dissatisfied, al- though recent amendments were thought to have served their every purpose. Very seriously they are now engaged in plans to put across still an- other amendment. Under this amend ment, they would elect Presidents of the United States by the direct vote or the people In other words, they would do away with the electoral col lege.
 Many leaders on both sides of the po- ntlcal division favor the proposed amendment and are ready to go into

the several legislatures, and on the statute books. Representative Thomas D. Schall, the blind member of Con- gress from Minnesota. a progressive" in politics, in Washington today. de- clares that he already has the neces- sary legislation drawn. William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treas ury. and William Jennings Bryan, are prominent democrats openly advocating the amendment.
 SOUTH TO OPPOSE
 While no statements have as yet em- anated from more than half dozen members of Congress, it is believed that the representatives from southern states will oppose the amendment Under the present system, representa- tion in the electoral college is based on the population of the several states. As result, state which is numerically important hit the vote of which is com paratively light, has power equal with those states the voting strength of whichais several fold greater If the system is changed, southern states win be compelled either to lose their pres ent political power or suffer the in- discriminate voting of all people with in their borders. For this reason, it is believed in Washington that the south will oppose the amendment. But with women voting. and the national inclination seeming to favor one change after another. and each change more radically different from the views of the original fathers than the other. ad- vocates of the amendment believe that as result of "education" and a long, well sustained fight. they will be able the ditches to put 1t through Congress. to put it across
