THE BAMBERG SPIRIT.
BarnWelI Sentinel Cites Bamberg as
an Example of Progress.

The following is from the Barnwell
Sentinel of last week:
There is a very fundamental truth
that stream can rise no higher than
it's source. A similar truth is appli-
cable to towns. A poet asked once,
what made a state? We might ask,
what makes a town?
sometimes we are apt to think
that the location of town has much
to do with it's making, or the way in
which its streets are laid out. We
think about it's facilities for doing
business, and it's being a central ac-
cessible point to get away from, or to
reach. We also think that the back
country of a town has much to do
with it's being town. Again we are
apt to believe that it's schools and
facilities 60 long way toward max
ing the town a good town.
After all, it isn't anything more
or less than the people who live there
and the use made of their advanta-
Fges. We are very much interested
these days in the census reports and
how many more people are living in
town now than ten years ago. Num-
p; bers do not make town, but the
kind of people.
r Take, for example, the neighbor-
ing town of Bamberg. In ten years
time it will nearly double it's popu-
lation. Somebody there was far
, sighted enough to see the advantage
of making it an educational center.
Last year they saw the advantage OF
making it free of malaria, at a cost
of about S25, 900 They are now put
ting over movement for larger pub
lie utilities. Recently they did a
much needed bit of paving in the bus
mess part of the town. When the
war exigencies demanded that we 60
back to wheat raising in this part
of the country, some of their peo-
pie put into operation roller flour
mill. Now that something must be
done to meet the boil Weevil situa-
ton they encourage the neighboring
farmers to plant peanuts and tobacco
and arrange to handle these products.
What has been done there might
have been done in any or every 9TH
er section of the state. A town may
have all the natural advantages that
! heart could wish for, but it is the
people living there who make the
town. -

COWS GET DRUNK.
And by Their Conduct Tipped The
Officers Off.

Two drunken cows that romped
about their pasture until exhausted
and then fell to the ground in a stu
por led to teh discovery of a large
still on the farm of John King, about.
Is miles northwest of Durham, N. c.
recently. DR.. Petty, a local Yeterina-.
rissn who was called to treat the 5ani-s
mails, found they were intoxicated,
and after a long search the still was
located by the farmer 1t. proved to-.
b. one of the largest in the history Of
Tile unity. The cows had eaten some
of ~~h mash prepared by the moon
sinners. -

: Such lis Fame.

The secretary of periodical pub
lished not far from New York city and
noted for the literary flavor of its
educational page once received a let
ter from a subscriber asking. for the
address of George Meredith, the move
list. The secretary had careful ex-
animation made of the long payroll
of the company, but the search was in
vain. A reply was therefore, sent to
the subscriber couched in this lang
uage:
eve are sorry that we are unable
to give you the address of George
Meredith, or our St. Louis Office. Per-
haps you can ascertain it from him. y

believe the Tennessee legislature will
go on record as favoring it, however
else they might view the matter. But
if they ratify, then the Republicans

Child Wanted to Know.

A little boy in a Pennsylvania town
was industriously engaged early one
Sunday morning in rolling his hoop
up and down before his house.
He was summoned inside by his
mother, who thus ad;nonished him:
''You mustn't roll your hoop in front
of the house, dear1e. 1t is Sunday.
Go and roll it in the sack yard"
'Mother," asked the child solemn
ly, isn't it Sunday in the back yard

Today's Mandate.

Two things may be said at the close
Of this campaign which were never
said or could have been said at the
close Of any previous campaign.
a. The outside world knows more
about American institutions and Amer.
lean processes than ever before. It
has been intensely interested in our
contest. Its leading newspapers Eu.
ropean and Asiatic, have carried lib.
eral reports Of all developments. Some
Of them have had their picked writer's
on the ground in touch with party
managers. and in that way been able
to spread before their readers &C.
counts Of proceedings prepared from
other than American points Of view.

as nation and about the great chart
by which we steer than ever before

Americas cup home and they have
failed to outsail us after many at
tempts.
In boat construction and cut and
set of sails there ought to be as skill
full designers and builders in Great
Britain as in the United States. They
have been at it longer than we have
and have had as much experience. yet,
ialthough they have built many yachts
for the great cup races, not one OF
them has sailed as fast as its Ameri-
can competitor.
And now there comes a contest in
sailorship between the United States
and Canada. In the first race on Sat
urday the American won. and in the
second race yesterday the American
craft and crew outsailed the Canadian
boat. These sailing victories are be-
coming monotonous. To put spice in
the sport the opposition ought to win
now and then.

Continuous Politics.
his is from Spokane. Wash.

This is from Spokane, Wash.:
| THE campaign of the farmerlabor
party is to be continued after the
election next Tuesday. regardless of
Its result. Farley P. Christensen, the
tparty's candidate for President, de-
clared in a statement made public
here today
The organization work of all par
F! ties will be continued after today.
Politics has become a steady thing.
The old plan of knocking off after an
election until within a few months Of
the next election has been discarded.
The show now never stops. The per-
Torrance is continuous. No sooner is
one bout over than all parties. victor
and vanquished, begin preparations
for the next.
Tammany Hall had a good deal to do
with bringing about this change. That
is to say, by making it's own perform
ance continuous. Tammany showed
the value of continuous performance.
That famous organization never
sleeps. 1t is always industriously on
the job. 1t keeps close track of men,
bers. not only at election time. but
between elections. If member drops
out an effort is Immediately made to
bring him back; and when a new men,
Der signs up he is made to feel at
home.
AS result. Tammany is always
ready for action. 1t is not always sue
cessful in action, but it never lacks
for trained leaders or trained follow
ers.
The republicans in the campaign
just closed enjoyed the benefit of thor
ough preparation, and if they win to-
day will owe their success in a meas.
ure to the organization they had for
two years been building. After their
success in capturing Congress two
years ago they went to work at once
on plans for this year, and had them
in perfect state when this years cam
paign began.

American Boat Wins.

The United States seems to be a
steady and consistent winner Of sail
ing races. It would appear that a
picked crew Of British sailors ought
to be about a. good as q picked crew
Of American sailors, and ought to win
. fair percentage Of races. Instead,
the percentage Of "wins'' by picked
American against picked British crews
is extraordinarily high. These British
sailors are presumably Of as good
grade Of natural intelligence as their
American brothers and their educa.
ton in sea and sail matters ought to
be a. thorough. The argument that
in America they are in strange waters,
a. strange climate and strange winds
may have something in 1t, yet to the
landsman 1t must appear that water
md wind in the United States are very
much the same as water and wind on
he other side Of the Atlantic, and still
We beat them there, brought the

great numbers Of voters intensely in.
terested in their deliverances.
The outside world, therefore. may
be certain that the mandate issued
today represents American sentiment
formed upon Information and after re-
hection. and that the officials. execu'
tive and legislative. chosen to execute
it will obey the popular will thus ex.
pressed.

Election Day.

Elsewhere in The Star today election
day is pictured as the day of humilia
tion for the Washingtonian. though
the day Of pride for other Americans
On this day other Americans than
those Of the District exercise as Ameri
can sovereigns each his share OF
American sovereignty by voting fol
: the executive and legislative public
servants through whom his will as to
national and international issues shall
be expressed. Without a constitu.
tional amendment Americans of the
District may not exercise their share OF
this sovereignty.
Distributing American sovereignty
among the American sovereigns the
Americans Of the District of Columbia
will be entitled to the same fraction
Of. total sovereignty as their popula,
ton is of the total population Of the
United States.
All Americans number 1O5,683, ,10S.
District Americans number 431 SCI. OF
the total sovereignty which belongs to
an Americans the District Americans
are, therefore. entitled to 437. .52l-
1e5. .ess, ,1os.
Not all Americans now exercise
their share Of this sovereignty. Ger.
tain conditions must be met before
this power and right may be exer-
cised. Americans in the states have it.
Americans in territory belonging to
the United States may exercise it by
majority vote Of both houses of Con-
gress. Americans in the District of
Colcmbia neither nave and exercise it.
nor have the opportunity to exercise
it, nor the possibility Of exercising 1t,
even If Congress approves.
Our pending constitutional amend
naent merely gives to the District the
same opportunity to exercise this
power and right that is now enjoyed
by the territories. The time when the
District is fit to exercise with restric.
tions its share Of American sover-
eighty is to be determined by Con-
Kress, which under the Constitution
already has the analogous power to
grant the full exercise Of their share
of sovereignty to the people Of any
territory by admitting it to statehood.
II Congress can give US our equita-
ble share Of American national rep
resentation without making sover.
eign state Of the District, and wishes
not to surrender its exclusive legisla-
tive control Of the Capital city, then We
assent to that arrangement. In fact.
we have proposed in our constitu-
tional amendment the procedure nee
essary to bring about this desired re-
suit.
But il Congress viii not or feels
that it cannot consent to this compro-
mise arrangement which preserves
control Of the capital by Congress and
merely gives the District equitable
representation in that Congress, then
the District will demand in equity
that It receive its share Of American
sovereignty as a state Of the Union.
and that the exclusive legislative
power provisio1 of the Constitution
be repealed.
The obligation is upon the nation
through Coagress to cure the eva Of
the cancer Of un-Americanism at the
nstion's heart. II 1t dses nct appreye
eur method and prescription to effect
this cure, then 1t must apply its own
remedy and follow up the case until
the cure Is actually accomplished.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Higher Authority.
AS the little leaves go drifting from
the branches far and near
We note that autumn always comes
at just this time of year.
We have trified with the clocks to
save some daylight by the way,
But the sun paid no attention as he
measured off the day.
We have frequently been tempted to
apply a referendum
To numerous little matters in the hope
that we might mend 'em.
But when the second thought unto the
subject we've applied
We're grateful for the things that an
election can't decide.
We often meet with people who feel
competent to show
Just where the moon should rise and
how the sea should ebb and flow;
And when we listen to their oratory
we confess
That if they called for votes, we'd be
inclined to answer, Yes"
For every exigency we could make
secure provision
By leaving all Of Natures laws to
popular decision!
Yet when we see the strange mistakes
Of intellectual pride
We're grateful for the things that an
election can't decide,

kins. "is going to destroy the faith Of

 As to the Superbas, zack declares great deal rests on the ability of Bernie Neis to play the sunieid. If
 the youngster can. and bats at least .25o, Brooklyn surely will be among the first three.

This makes four releases. as Cooney was sent to Milwaukee and Rose was re- turned to San Antonio the other day. Stryker has made three trips South with the Giants. and previously had been farmed out in the International League. His home is in Atlantic Highlands, N. J..
 Mcguire joined the Giants for the first time here two weeks ago, after a season in the winter league in Cali fCrnia, where he makes his home.

MARQUARD HAS TOO MUCH FOR YALK HIT1ERS

Jacksonville, Fla, March 1s-The Dodgers are much worthier opponents for the Yankees than the worlds champion Cincinnati Reds. Hobbies crew again defeated the Yankees in impressive fashion at South Side Park, shutting out the New Workers by to in the second game of their Spring ser1es yesterd day.
 The Brooklyn lads swung much more dangerous bats than did their opponents from the Polo Grounds. The Dodgers again outhit the Yankees two to one, making nine safeties against only five for the Yankees. The Brooklyn men met the ball more sol idly and with apparently more conf1- dence.
 Rube Marquard and Al Marnauz also were in better form than the Yankee pitchers. Both Rube and the former Pirate used curve after curve, and again the Yankees fell before them. Marquard went four innings, and the only time the Tanks got to base on the Rube was in the second inning when Ruth and Wick io!ted him for singles. However. Vick's hit was only a scratch,
 Mamaux was just as good. Three hits were made off him in five inn lnSS and ne fanned IOuf- lie ap- reered to he in fine form for this period of the training season. McGraw pitched pretty good ball for the Tanks after runners got on the bases, but a wild pitch let in the only run which was scored by Brook Iyn in his five innings. Mays was ir nothing Ike the form that he show ed against the Cincinnati Reds, wher only one man reached base on him ir 1 five innin-es The Robins started of ] on Carl with three straight singles 1T ! the s.xth inning. which, with a sacri- i flee fly, enabled Brooklyn to score twt ! runs Five hits were made off Carrs ] submarine ball in three innings.
 The work of Neis. Brook1yn's new right fielder, again was conspicuous This youngster cracked them on the nose. He drove out three clean hits in four times up. In both the firs and third innings he met the frs ball and sent the sphere whizzing tc the outfeld.
 Ruth got only one hit, but hs cracked the ball very hard. Neil pulled down a fly from the big feI lows bat in the fourth inning tha would have landed in the upper tiel on the Polo Grounds

Brownsville, Tex March Elf the law Of averages worked in baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals would win the penna mt this year, and the next, too, for they never have won one and they've been playing all these years. But Major Hickey, who runs things on the St Louis outfit isn't counting on the law of averages to do one thing for him He's, concerned only over his pitching staff.
 If he can get any kind of pitching that would class as major league stuff he might create quite a stir in the coming fight. If he doesn't get any kind of pitching he's likely to be a trailer once more.
 Major Hickey has a strong hitting club. No one can doubt that when it contains such men as Roger Hornsby, Milton Stock, Jacques Fournier and Bert Shotton. besides a couple of live looking youngsters in Clifton Heath cote and Austin McHenry. He has a speedy club in base running.
 The major says Heathcote is the fastest man in baseball and is willing to wager a new hat he'll lead the league in stolen bases. Shotton, Four nier, Hornsby, Stock and the rest of them are ffeet-footed, too He has a team capable of doing some great of fensive playing, but the defensive power of the club is doubtful.
 Unless a couple of youngsters come through as pitchers, the Cardinals are likely to trail along with the tail end clubs just as they did a year ago: They had the worst pitching staff of them all then. They were last in everything that it was possible for pitchers to be at the bottom.
 The St. Louis staff al owed more hits than any other staff during the 1919 season. They allowed more runs per game than any other staff. They gave more bases on balls. They hit more batters. They made more wild pitches and they famed fewer batsmen- Ma jor Hickey has all tue dope to prove it, and down in his. bord erland train ing camp he is working desperately to correct these faults.
 "Pze got to improve my pitching staff or I can't see much hope for us this year. frankly admitted the St. Louis leader. "But at the same time I have a ball club that can do a lot of business if the staff is improved only slightly, and it looks as if one or two of my old pitchers will have
