sometimes think the crop OF ad
vice is altogether too great for one
little world. I have so many letters
asking advice that ought not to
feel overburdened with that crop;
but the letters run q good deal on
the same subjects. and 1 cannot but
feel that Of advising and COUNSEL
ing there Is too much in the world.
Just look at yourself Think Of
your own daily experience.
Can you wear a new hat without
being advised how IL might be
changed. or what you must do when
you get a new one?
Can you have a toothache without
being loaded down with all sorts Of
remedies. to say nothing Of the
recommendation TO the pet dentists
OF your various friends2
Can you go to the library without
being advised what books TO get and
whether TO read the said book care
fully or to skip through 1t like a
grasshopper in "A June meadow?
Advice grows all the year round.
1t comes up too soon and grows too
fast, and never comes TO an end. 1t
would be all right-tbis advice-if it
were of a fine, discriminating quail
ity; but most Of II is Of the kind that
does not discriminate.
Ny neighbor over the way has
had three husbands. and I imagine
she was a fairly good wife TO all Of
them. They say she's looking for
fourth. now. and. whether this be
so or not she certainly talks Of
nothing but the married state, past,
present and future.
Now. she is great friends with my
maiden aunt and goes over to talk
with her three or four times a week.
Aunt Tabitha. who is a goodhearted
creature, sometimes gives a little
grOan when she sees the much wild
owed coming-then she sits content
eddy down with her embroidery and
let's the storm of "Reminiscences and
gossip drive over her devoted head.
She remains passive until her neigh
Dor gets to the advising stage, and

WALIiALIA, S. G.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1920.


The interest OF the South in DEM
ocratic success this year is not mere
ly academic and sentimental. 1t is
vital.
The second paragraph Of the Four
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton is very clear in providing that
when the right to vote is denied by
a State to its citizens for any other
reason except participation in rebel
lion or other crime the representa-
tion Of that State shall be reduced
in proportion. Tho constitutional
power Of Congress to reduce the
Southern representation in Cong ,ss
proportiOned to the number Of citi-
zens deprived Of the vote is undoubt-
ed. Moreover, census has just been
completed, and the question Of re-
apportioning representation in Con-
gresS is Imminent. Representative
Seigel. Of New York, the Republican
chairman Of the reapportionmont
committee Of the House Of Repre-
sentativcS, has received a number Of
letters advocating the reduction Of
Southern representation in Congress
and in the electoral college. and he
announces publicly that his commit
tee will take up seriously at the
coming session Of Congress the ques-
ton Of cutting down tho representa-
tion in States where negroes are dis
franchised. He does not propose cut
ting down Massachusetts represent
tation, although it has a very re-
stricted electorate. The Republican
papers all over the country are agi-
tating the question and showing that
in some Northern districts a Con-
gresham represents many times as
many voters as some Southern Con-
grcssmen represent. The question
has been accentuated by the doub-
ling OF the number Of voters by wo-
man suffrage.
This strikes at the very heart Of
the South's share in the government
of the United States. The Southern
people, like those of Massachusetts,
understand that a large class Of illit-
crate citizens Is great govern
mental burden-more Of govern
mental burden than an equal num-
her OF intelligent voters, and that
representation in Congress, based ON
their numbers, Is just apportion-
ment. But the Fourteenth Amend
ment puts power in the hands Of
Congress which may be abused. The
South's interest In this election IS
vital, and Southern Democrats
should do all in their power toward
Democratic success. Tho best way
they can help is to subscribe literally
to the Democratic campaign fund.
Every Democrat ought to bear
this in mind when asked to contrib
ute to the Democratic fund Re-
member the Lodge Force Bill, and
think OF the tremendous influence
Lodge will have with a Republican, IL
administration.
Drop your dollar for Democracy. "

Fant, Iva, S. c.
In the spring of nineteen twenty.
1t had rained most every day,
And the bro0klets, creeks and rivers
Rushed in torrents on their way.
II was on the fifth Of April,
In the Easter eventide,
That eleven youngsters ventured
Ger Savannah, wild and wide.
They have crossed, but not Savannah,
Yet beyond this vale Of care:
When their friends have crossed the
river
May they find their loved ones
there.
Not dream of lurking danger,
Not tear stood in their eye
Not a farewell kiss from mother,
Not fathers last goodbye.
For they went in quest Of pleasure,
AS so often youngsters do,
In the bloom Of youth and beauty
Brave young men and maidens
true.
They had gone to Harper's Ferry,
For they lived not far away,
And the boatman's wife was teacher
or their district school, they say.
LET us cross the brimming river"
Someone yelled in youthful G. e;
"lt is WELL" the others echoed,
In il voice OF ecstacy.
All were on, and then the boatman,
With his young and lovely bride,
When the fiat was loosed from anchor
Started for the other side.
Now strong and goodly cable
Held the fat-boat in it's place,
But the rough and angry waters
Showed that Time had left his
trace,
When they reached the mighty cur
Which with wondrous swiftness
ran,
Then the cable post was broken,
This deiied the work Of man.
AS the fiat swung down the river,
Half restrained and partly free,
Then the air was rent with screams
And with cries Of agony.
Soon the goodly fiat was sunken-
They must sleep, but not to dream.
Eleven started and ten are missing
On that voyage cross tho stream.
One was left to tell the story
Thomas Bradshaw is his name
But the missing live forever
In our memory hall Of fame.
Two Of them were Misses Bradshaw,
They were sisters, understand;
Mannings three-two girls and bro
ther-
And boy named Switzerland.
Lester Waters, too, was missing,
With his young and lovely bride;
Charles Mecline, and Alice also,
Perished in that loss of life
Easter night was swiftly falling
AS the tragic news was borne
To the loved ones Of the missing
And their friends who came to
mourn.
After days Of tireless searching,
Through the sunshine, rain and
chill,
In the bosom Of Savannah,
Three Of them are sleeping still.
Gone they are, but not forgotten
Change Is wrought by fleeting
time,
And the bloom Of youth and beauty
Is the temper's sweetest cline.
Let us heed this note OF warming
AS the path Of life we plod-
Then, my precious friend and reader,
Oh. prepare to meet thy CO.
