GREAT GlsSEn BnGu1HT
 EM kiE' EE. DORADO
Flow Estimated at 60.GG0.00 to f0G, ,O0O.- 00O Cubic Feet; Is Big
 Surprise.

Fl Dorado, April 22.-A gasser with flow estimated at from 60,000 ,000 to 100,000,00 cubic feet day. was brought in unexpectedly at 2:10 o'clock this afternoon at the Constantine we'll two and quarter miles southeast of Fl Dorado. J. J. Soleau, driller, and his assistants barely had time to leave the platform before the flow started. The well was being washed out when the gas began to pour out
 When the gass shot out of the hole. which is 2,200 feet deep, the column reached a height of about 130 feet. The roar could be heard several miles. Hundreds of persons flocked to the scene to see Union county's first gas ser.
 No efforts to check the flow were made. Machinery to be used in stop ping it, however, was ordered tonight. It may be several days before it ar rives. Until then the gas will have to be allowed to go to waste.
 The we'll was drilled on property owned by Frank Hill It had been leased by Arrendale, Tunt and others. The Constantine Refining company of Tulsa, Okla, developed it.
 AS soon as news of the gasser reach ed Fl Dorado, prices of leases in Un- ion county went skyward Property in the vicinity of the hole could not be leased or bought for any price. The gasser also had the effect of increas- ing interest in the Trinity we'll, in the extreme western end of Union county where oil drilling operations still are being carried on.
 Several oil men, who have been in Ill Dorado for some time, tonight said that indications are better than ever for finding oil in this vicinity It is probable that another well will be started on the same lease as soon as the gas flow is stopped.

Mineral Springs, April 22.-The lar gest bonded cotton warehouse in the state was completed in Mineral Springs this week, the dimensions be- ing 100 by 260 feet.
 The original building was 100 by 15O feet, but was never large enough to handle the cotton crop marketed here, hence the addition. It was erect ed as a Farmers Union warehouse, but later was bonded under the state laws.

 MERCHANTS COOPERATE
With the Golden Rule aS tie Keynote
 an Entire Community is Welded Into Center of Confidence.
(By A. B. Macdonald, in The Country
 Gentleman).

What is the Neosho Plan?' asked William Bailey, a banker of Clarks- vile, Tennessee, in letter he wrote last summer to the Associated Adver- Using club of the World in New York City.
 That Is plan by which the busi- ness men of Neosho, Missouri pooled their efforts and brought trade of the farmers of their county to their own town and held it there" answered the secretary of that club. Write to A. c. McGinty of Neosho; he is one of the big small-town merchants of this country, and he will tell you all about it.
 Bailey, the banker, wrote to McGin ty, the merchant, and got this reply: "The Neosho Plan is too big thing to tell about in a letter. Come out and bring a delegation of three or four business men with you, and we will show you the plan in operation"
 Two weeks later McGinty received this telegram from Bailey: We are coming on special Pullman car to in vestigate NeoshO Plan. Party of twenty-five business men the county farm adviser; several farmers, and Presbyterian preacher for good luck" The Golden Rule.
 The core of Neosho is the brick court house, in the exact center of grassy square studded with trees and i i1olosed with an iron fence. The town pump, or rather, artesian well, for it is 400 feet deep and flows con stcntly, is in this square; and there is nearly always a group of townsfolk round it with jugs ard pails and bot ties for it is clear puny and limpid, a famous drinking water. Bordering the four sides of this square are wide paved streets, and facing them are tie fo0r blocks Of business houses.
 The visitors from Tennessee arrived on Monday morning, and they saw hundreds of motor cars parked in the streets of this town square, and the sidewalks and stores were filled with country people.
 1 Whats going on today?" asked Bailey.
 This is sales day. the welcoming committee explained.
 "Is that a part of the Neosho Plan?'
 "A big part of it. answered McGin- ty.
 Visitors Saw Strange Things.
 The visiting business men saw sey- eral things that day they never could have seen in Clarksville. For exam pie, in the Eagle Store farmer was examining pair of overalls and found the price marked $1.50.
 Isn't that the same overall We saw over in McElhaney & Tatem's store marked one dollar?" the farmer asked his wife.

OUR COUNTRY.

One of the South Carolina candi-
dates for United States senate this
year is calling the attention of our
people to one of the most vital is
sues that confronts the American peo-
pie today.
1t is the issue of states rights
against a centralized federal govern
mcnt.
State sovereignty is absolutely neces-
sary to protect the rights and liber-
ties Of the people under our form Of
government. The founders of this re-
public so recognized it and it is
apparent now.
No one will deny that our govern
mcnt is becoming more centralized
in Washington.
The sovereignty of the states is
gradually being undo rmined and taken
away.
continuance Of this practice will
inevitably and absolutely lead to an
autoc@cy in this country.

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

George Warren is a man Of ability,
courage, common sense and sterling
worth. He is deep student OF polit-
cal economy, yet understands it's
practical application. His knowledge
Of government affairs acquired by
close study peculiarly fits him for the
office of United States Senator. We
fear to express in these columns the
high regard we have for George War
rem as man, as a lawyer and as a
statesman. However, we can and do
commend him to the people with the
assurance that, in the event, of his
election, South Carolina will be proud
of her young senator. ,I
, 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 Warren
by the possession Of those qualifica-
tions and by the power of his person
ality will be elected Our State can
not afford to refuse the services of
such a man."
Warren for Senator.
Gcorgc Warren Of hampton has
been growing in popular favor since
his cntry into the race for the United
States Senate.
A few weeks ago the prediction was
fr"c'v indulgcd that Senator Smith
woall defeat his three opponents in
the first race.
New it is generally conceded that
there will be a second race and that
Gorge Warren will be in it.
In a second race with Senator
Smith, the advantage "':ll be with
Warren.
The boastcd Smith strength is fast
dwindling away. 1t has largely been
myth.
Not all the farmers are Smith menG.
This is the day of the young man.
Warren is young, but he has a re-
cord of achievement behind him.
Smith is no longer young, but there
is little to which he can point, de-
spite 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
the casual student of political history
can detect that the federal govern
ment is steadily infringing upon
states rights. Particular instances
are pointed out by Mr.. Warren, candi-
date for the United States Senate. We
are among those who do not like this
idea. The states should be free to
regulate their own affairs. The nine
teer tn amendment of the constitution
Of the United States stands mighty
good chance of becoming operative
Only one more state is required to
ratify the woman's suffrage amend
ment, and the Governor Of Tennessee
has called special session of the leg
islature in his state which will con-
slider this amendment. If Tennessee
ratifics the nineteenth amendment
ther we will have woman's suffrage
and the individual states cannot help
themselves. We believe each state
should be allowed to regulate this
matter independent of the federal
government. If the people Of this
state want woman suffrage they
should be allowed to adopt it for
themselves. If they are opposed to
if they should not have it thrust upon

belonged to an everyday American
