Business Men Plan Big Campaign

Columbia, May 2.-Plans for the
statewide campaign of the South
Carolina Development Board are go
ing forward rapidly. The object OF
the drive. which will be made be-
tween May "a and June S, is to ell
roll total of 5000 individual men,
berships and pledge an annual in
come of $250,O00 for three years.
Members of the campaign forces say
there is no doubt Of success, for the
average in each county need reach
only 100 members and $5,433.
"Do 1t for South Carolina will be
slogan of the campaign. Officers of
the development board point out that
this is not promise to do something
but a justifable boast of having al
ready done several specific things.
They say that it is the success which
has been attained already with a
small membership and income which
has prompted the effort to do more
and in a larger way for South Caro-
lima
The tentative program Of the or
ganization contains 18 projects OF
statewide interest, none OF which
has heretofore been possible of ac-
complishment, but which will be GER
tain to go through with 5000 South
Carolinians behind them. Most OF
these relate to the states agriculture.

The Dillon County Teachers Asso-
citation is now. compiling an Educa-
tional Issue of the Dillon Herald.
This edition should be Of interest to
all, since it is to take up and survey
every phase Of school work that is
found in the County.
The financial side is to be outlin-
ed, the individual effort of each
school shown, along with this indi-
vidual effort, the aims of the School
Clubs will be listed. By comparing
the two. it can easily be seen how
many of these aims have been real
lied.
The illiteracy work of the county
is to be given from the very first
Night School ever taught in 1915.
This work is still only begun, and
the plea from Miss viii Lou Gray and
Supt j. E. Swearingen to the DEM
ocratic Convention, that will be
found in this issue should be care
fully read and the call answered by
each individual to whom such may be
possible.
The medical inspection that the
county has ben fortunate enough to
have during the past year is also out
lined by the County Nurse. This was
made possible on petition from the
Dillon County Federation Of Wo-
mems Clubs, to our delegation. A
long with this medical inspection can
be classed the work done in behalf
Of better Sanitation. Septic Tanks
have been installed at every school
and each teachers home. An article
concerning the value and care OF
these will be found in this issue, it

SCORES MEET DEATH
IN OKLAHOMA
Tornado Romps Through Rural
District and Races Many Homes
as 1t Passes Away.

Muskogee, OKLA, May 3.-Fifty
persons are reported killed and more
than $50 injured in storm that
swept the little town Of Peggs, Okla,
in Cherokee county, last night.
A special train carrying doctors
and nurses and equipment left Mus
kogee for Pegs this morning. All
doctors and nurses in Tahlequah also
have gone. Practically every store
in Tahlequah which is the county
seat of Cherokee county, has closed
and several hundred people have
gone to Peggs to do rescue work.
Direct communication with the
stricken town was impossible this
morning as all wires from Muskogee
to Peggs are down.
Chelsea, Okla, May 3.-Searching
parties today spread out over the
country north of here to ascertain
the full extent of a tornado that
struck just before dusk last night
bringing death to at least five per-
sons and serious injuries to dozen
more.
No estimate of property damage
has been made, although it was in
dicated it would be heavy.
The district affected is rural and
as wire communication was paralyz-
ed it was believed here the exact loss
of life and property damage might
not be known for some time.
The storm passed near Chelsea and
many persons here watched 1t twist
its way out Of sight.
Reports were, current here that the
storm had struck other nearby towns,

vik contempt for production.
There is no way to compromise
the dispute between the philosophy
of little production and large pro-
duction. There is no middle ground.
One side is right and the other
wrong-one side is the real friend
Of labor and the other merely thinks
it is.
Those interested in industrial
harmony should devote themselves to
education with respect to the source
of real wages. The decision could
safely be left to the unionists alone
if they would but seriously consider
it. Every union should debate the
question: Resolved, That the way
permanently to increase wages is to
increase product per man." The
unions would have no difficulty about
recruiting from their own ranks

A Noise Like az, Offer

At last, after nearly two months
OF pressure, some Democrats of the
Senate have been induced to make a
noise that sounds like an offer.
Like the music of Gilbert's bag
piper, it wanders around in several
keys and wheezes and stumbles and
halts, but nevertheless it family re-
sembles the tune of an offer. In
form it is obviously basis for trad
ing, but it has the merit of being
something definite, and if backed by
any considerable number of Senators
an obligation rests on the other rati-
fcationists of the Senate to give it
serious and generous consideration.
The finding of some formula Of
agreement is as important as the
contents Of the formula. The main
points, as many times remarked in
these columns, are to preserve to
Congress the constitutional preroga-
'tives which block .one-man rule and
to give fair notice to the world that
this country does not surrender it's
sovereignty. If these are conceded
the verbiage may well be conceded.
There is no reason to restate that
which is already covered in general
terms and by necessary implication.

missioners of the Confederacy, at
Hampton Roads he said that all he
asked was an abandonment of re-

A Standard Residence Lease

An obvious remedy for many evils
which cause landlord-and-tenant con-
troversies would be furnished by a
law prescribing a. standard form Of
lease. A precedent for this is in the
laws which prescribe standard forms
Of insurance policies. These laws
were the result Of the general feel
ing that the old insurance contracts
were unilateral and inequitable.
1t would, Of course, be unwise to
attempt to write a standard lease
covering all re1f contracts. There
probably should be no attempt to
cover long-term leases, business
leases and indefinite tenancies of a
temporary character. The effort
might well be limited in the first in
stance to leases for residence pur-
poses for fixed terms: 1t is these
chiefly which cause social friction.
New York is city Of renters. There
is scarcely family which has not a
grievance because Of lease provi-
sions, whose acceptance is practi-
|cally mandatory and which the
courts construe as free contracts.
The standard lease should have for
its purpose the clear definition and
protection Of the rights of both land
lord and tenant. The right of a
landlord to terminate lease when a
tenant fails to perform his obliga-
tions should be recognized and safe
guarded, but upon reasonable terms
as to notice. On the other hand, the
right Of tenant to elevator, heat
and other services which the land
lord undertakes TO furnish should be
lequally recognized and protected.
Tenants who are obnoxious to their
co-tenants and the law should be
subject to custer, but this privilege
should not be permitted to be used
to assist a landlord to screw up his
rent. These are only few Of the
general matters which need to be
considered.
The town is full Of men and women
who advertise a great desire to help
the public, but who too often spend
their energies in merely talking and
in trying to find a place where
spotlight is shining. Here is a
chance for a group to do something
definite and practical And the more
carefully and patiently the work be
done the greater the likelihood of
beating the organized selfish opposi-
ton that would be encountered.

ways; the women will do duty in
professional and trade schools or in
the manufacture of articles of the
Bulgarian home industries, above
all the colorful embroideries we'll
known in Western Europe.
The Bulgarian Premier is candid
enough to add that the reform is
due to the abolition Of military con-
scription in his country by the
Treaty of Neuilly. Were q similar
plan proposed in Germany, there
would be ample ground for suspect
ing behind it some sinister dodge,
something in the line of the mill
tary units camoufaged as gymnastic
societies, which had their vogue in
Prussia after the Peace of Tilsit.
Bulgaria, on the other hand, has
been weakened to such extent, has
paid such terrible price for the
wicked folly Of her leaders, that she
may be given the Benefit of the
doubt at least. eve have been called
the Prussians Of the Balkans" Stam-
bolisky said in Paris. "We shall
now exert ourselves to become the
Swiss Of the East instead. The

shall make ploughshare out of it,"

seems no bad departure in that d.
rection.
