WHAT OTHERS SAY
ABOUT GEORGE WARREN
THE HAMPTON GUARDIAN EDl-
TORIALLY STATES

George Warren is man Oh apll'
ity, courage, common sense and ster'
ling worth. He is a deep student OF
political economy, yet understands
it's practical application. His knowl'
edge of government affairs acquired
by close study peculiarly fits for the
office of United States, Senator. We
fear to express in these columns the
high rgard we have for George War
rem as a man, as a lawyer and as a
statesman. However, we can and dc
commend him to the people with the
assurance that, in the event of his
election, South Carolina will be proud
of her young senator.
We are not given the power OF
prophecy, but knowing the man and
his ability, his ideas of government,
his respect for the Constitution, his
beliefs in the doctrines OF Calhoun,
we are convinced that George War
rem by the possession Of those quail
fications and by the power of his per-
sonality will be elected. Our State can
not afford to refuse the services OF
such a man."
WARREN FOR SENATOR.
George Warren of Hampton has
been growing in popular favor since
his entry into the race for the United
States Senate.
A few weeks ago the prediction
was freely indulged that Senator
Smith would defeat his three oppo-
nents in the first race.
Now it is generally conceded that
there will be a second race and that
George Warren will be in it.
In a second race with Senator
Smith, the advantage will be with
Warren.
The boasted Smith strength is fast
dwindling away. 1t has largely been
a myth.
Not all the farmers are Smith men
This is the day of the young man.
Warren is young, but he has re-
cord of achievement behind him.
Smith is no longer young, but
there is little to which he can point,
despite his long years in the United
States Senate, as his accomplishment
for the public good-Aiken Standard
STATES RIGHTS.
There can be no doubt but that
even Cne casual student Of political
history can detect that the federal
government is steadily infringing up
on states rights. Particular instanc-
es are pointed out by Mr.. Warren,
candidate for the United States Sen
ate. We are among those who do not
like this idea. The states should be
free to regulate their own affairs
The nineteenth amendment of the
constitution of the United States
stands a mighty good chance of be-
coming operative. Only one more
state is required to ratify the wom'
ans suffrage amendment, and the
, Governor of Tennessee has called g
| special session of the legislature ir
his state which will consider this
amendment. If Tennessee ratifies the
nineteenth amendment, then we vii
have woman's suffrage and the indi
vidual states cannot help themselves
We believe each state should be al
lowed to regulate this matter indie
pendent of the federal government
If the people of this state want WON
an suffrage they should be allowed tt
adopt it for themselves. If they art
opposed to it they should not have i
thrust upon them. In various way
the federal government is infringing
upon states rights and the tendenc!
in this direction should be checked

GIVING An Elephant , Bath

II would be rather az expensive
thing for the owner OF an elephant
To give hYm a bath as often as once
a month, much less as often as the
small boy has TO indulge in one
There are three things very neces-
sary to this bath-soap. sandpaper
and oil. 1t also requires the services
of three men: the time required is
usually three weeks SO now YOU do
not wonder that 1t is impossible for
this to be an every Saturday night
affair. First. from 100 to 120 pounds
OF soap is needed. according 10 the
sire Of the elephant. This must be
worked into a good lather. and the
whole Of the immense body is then
washed, the ears alone taking several
pounds Of soap. as they have to be
given special care. After this wash
ing and drying 10 finished, the docile
creature il thoroughly sandpapered
from trunk to feet to give the entire
body a smooth surface. After thie
comes the most expensive part of
the process. The very best oil must
be massaged well into the skin until
IL shines like gray satin Although
this would seem a very long and te-
dious bath. IL is unusual TO have any
trouble with the elephant during the
time. He really seems TO enjoy IT
very much. and no doubt feels re-
freshed and invigorated just as we do
after q Turkish bath.

The concession first was asked, it
is asserted, by a genuine Mexican

last year. Two other companies be-
sides the reported shipping board

applications also.

better prepare for them~at least by
the first week in October.

Why Hens Don't Eiy

Did you ever wonder why the COM
mon barnyard fowl doesn't ny like a
bird? II has wings so why not use
them more? They sometimes make
a fiuttering pretense at 1t. but as Tor
real flying they don't make a sue
cess of it. They have almost lost
the use of their wings through long
neglect The reason is. they are
valued for their eggs and meat for
food; consequently. they are well fed
and protected. There 10 no need for
them TO fly from place to- place in
search OF food when II 10 placed be-
fore them daily. They are put in
good houses as protection from an
imals that might modest them: so
flight by flying is not necessary. On
the whole. they lead lazy lives. and
the result is their wings have be-
come almost useless. II is not Alto
gether impossible that their
wings may not disappear alto
gether in the future They are grad
ualiy decreasing in size all the time.
Take courage: the time may not be
far distant when the wing of the fowl
will not have to be accepted as
cheerfully as il YOU really preferred

University of Pittsburg
Through With Georgia Tech

Pittsburgh. PaS Oct. 24-Charles S.
Miller. director of Athletics Of the
University of Pittsburgh. tonight
gave out a statement that no future
football games with Georgia Tech
would be scheduled. He explained
that this decision did not constitute 4
severance of athletic relations with
that institution as the contract be-
tween both colleges expired Saturday
when Pitt defeated the Southern team
10 to 3. He added. however. that the
decision regarding the future was ac-
tuated by wha. he construed as
violation of the contract provisions
by the Georgia team al the game
Saturday in insisting upon permit
ting three men who had played more
than four years TO take part in the
game. and also because the usual ELI
gihiiity rules observed by all frst
class colleges are not observed by
Georgia Tech.
These rules provide that every
player must be candidate for q de-
gree and be resident of the college
for one year prior to joining the team.
