Fun IN CONGRESS

The discussion of grave questions
of POLITICAL economy and of states
manship in Congress is sometimes en-
livened by wit and humor. In recent
debate in the House on the sO-called
maternity bill Congressman Lowry
of Mississippi related this anecdote:
Bishop Hoss used to tell a story
like this: Down at the foot of the
Tennessee mountains lived Metho-
dist preacher. In the course of time
he got ratified a little on his doctrinal
views and Joined the Baptists. After
preaching for the Baptists for while
he quit them and joined that de-
nomination which the profane of the
community called 'Campbellite.' A
year later he had undergone another
complete reversal, and was found
in the ranks Of the Universalists
preaching the no-hell doctrine with
starts going down there is
no telling where he will stop. There
came hot political campaign and he
quit preaching and went to stump
speaking. Not only, that, he fore
sock the party of his father and
joined the Republicans. One day a
group of men sat about the village
store discussing this fallen evangel,
and some of them in their bitter criti-
cism seemed rather inclined to leave
off the dis. But charitable farmer
who had known and loved him in his
blameless days came to his defense
be too hard on him. If you didn't be-
lieve there was any hell, you might
be a Republican too

TOO MUCH TUMULTY

Joseph P. Tumulty, private secre.
tary to President Wilson, is writing
a history of the administration, or
rather personal sketches and Incl
dents connected with affairs of State
under the title of "Woodrow Wilson
as / know him."
AS private secretary of the Presi-
dent during his entire term Tumulty
had rare opportunity of knowing
the inside history of the administra-
ton from start to finish. While
nothing new or startling has been
disclosed by Tumulty up to this time,
the comment of the press generally
is that there is too much Tumulty in
the narrative.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TOM AND
THE BLOODY ESPINoZAS"
g. Western Newspaper Union.

Back In the sixties In the Colorado
gold camps around Pixies Peak the
warning "The Bloody Espinozas are
coming" struck more terror to the
hearts of the miners than the dread
cry of Indians! Indiansl" The
Bloody Esp!noZas were two Mexicans.
brothers. The older, Juan Espinoza,
believed that he had a special mission
to Kill all Americans. He ambushed
them in the daytime and crept upon
them at night. His record of murders
10 said to have totaled 80.
In 1853 he killed two well-known
prospectors Of California Gulch, near
Leadville. Their comrades vowed
vengeance on the Espinozas, and after
. long chase and q hard battle, they
killed the youngest brother. Juan es-
capped and the next year he was back
in his old haunts In the Sangre de
Cristo mountains robbing stage
coaches and wagon trains and MUIR
dering settlers and miners. He took
his nephew with him on these raids,
and they grew 80 bold that q reward
OF $500 was offered for their capture,
dead or alive.
At this time there was living at
Fort Garland a little Irishman called
Rocky Mountain Tom. Tom Tobin
was his real name. and he was a close
friend Of Kit Carson. He was one Of
the best mountain trailers.
When the report OF the Espinozas'
latest murder was brought to the fort
ToDin Immediately volunteered to 70
after the bandits. Setting out alone,
ne took their trail and stuck with Il,
although 1t led into the widest parts
OF the Sangre de Cristos. Late one
evening he saw from distance two
! men encamped under the shelter of
q shelving rock above a little stream.
Stalking the two bandits as he
would wild animals, the scout crept
closer and closer. He knew they could
not be taken alive, and he dared not
take the chance of missing his first
shot. The Mexicans were erouched
over tiny flame warming their hands,
but In the dim light they offered poor
target even for so good a marksman
as Rocky Mountain Tom.
At last Juan Espinoza rose. He
stretched both arms wide. forming with
his body prefect cross and present
Ing target which loomed up plainly
against the background Of q sky aglow
with the sunset. Tobin fired instantly
and the Mexican murderer fell dead
across his camp fire. The nephew
scrambled to his feet. The scout fred
again, and the last of the Esplnozas
dropped dead.
A few days later Tobin walked into
Fort Garland. carrying a sack, and de-
manded a reward of $500. The sack
contained the heads of the Bloody Es-
pinOzas.

MEETING DECEMBER 2 TO BE
LARGEST OF FARMERS EVER

Columbia, Nov. 28.-Officials of the
South Carolina Division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association say that the
annual meeting of the Association
which will be held Wednesday, De-
cember 2 will be one of the largest
gatherings of farmers ever held in
the State. Reports received from over
the Stete indicate that there will be
thousands in attendance.
The Sumter Chamber of Commerce
has taken it upon itself to see that
Sumter county is represented by not
less than $50 farmers. Merchants,
bankers and business men are also
expected to attend.
The meeting will resolve itself
largely into conference on the boil
weevil and how to best meet the in
vasion of that pest. Prominent plant
ers from the boil weevil districts of
other states have been invited to be
present and tell how they solved the
problem created by the coming of the
weevil.
The meeting on December will
begin promptly at noon and an invi.
tation is extended to every farmer in
South Carolina to be present.

CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE

Among the 100000 persons killed
by tuberculosis in the United States
last year, nearly 1000 were South
Carolinians. This point with other
facts is made known in statement
made recently by the Rev. Hugh R.
Murchison, Campaign Director of the
Christmas Seal Sale in this State.
Mr.. Hutchinson gives as the Of
fetal estimate of active tuberculosis
in South Carolina 10000. During
1920 there were 1,914 deaths, yet
there are only 100 beds to care for
patients. With only one bed for ev-
cry hundred active cases the people
of the State are being asked what is
to be done with the 90 cases out of
every hundred who through lack of
treatment either die or continue the
spread of the dread disease through
out the remainder of the population.
Death calls 10000 children under
five years of age each year in this
country. More than so per cent of all
children are infected with tuberculosis
before they are 10 years old and the
percentage increases until at 18 years
it reaches it's maximum of from 60
to 90 per cent.
One of the aims of the South Caro-
lima tuberculosis Association, states
Mr.. Hutchinson, is to seek out and
record all cases of tuberculosis, and
to provide treatment as a matter of
protection to the rest of society, who
daily are endangered by the germ
which kills thousands of the best
citizens. The prevention and cure of
the disease depends largely upon the
sale of health bonds and Christmas
seals. The drive for the safe of these
bgins tn first, of the month and will
continue until New Years.

Life Prolonged by Radinm

DR.. E. Stillman Baily of Chicago,
in an address before the Therapeu
lists convention in that city q few
days ago, declared that radium ad
ministered internally could prolong
human life and make old age almost
a delight. He cited as an example
the renewed youth of the men work
ing in the radium mines of Colorado.
During the epidemic of influenza, he
said, those workers were immune.
Ailments such as rheumatism, gout
and neurites were unknown. He
attributed the excellent health of
those men to their drinking water,
which was charged with radium.
He says that he dispensed thousands
of radium tablets in Chicago and
their results especially among old
people, was marvellous. Zone of the
principal causes Of old age" he said,
'sis the hardening of the arteries, due
to increased blood pressure. This,
the radiun tablets prevent. Their
effect on the human system is start
ling. Acute pains disappear and in.
validism characteristic of old age
vanish. Jaded appetites become keen
again. Radiun is wonderful tonic
and blood remedy. It's possibilities
are still undreamed OF"

Twelve Mistakes.

There are innumerable mistakes
that people can and do make IN life.
A writer in current magazine
enumerates twelve mistakes which
he says are most common but which
may easily be avoided. They are:
q. To attempt to set up our own
standard of right and wrong.
"2. To try to measure the enjoy
ment of others by our own.
"3. To expect uniformity of
opinion in this world. ....
"a. To fail to make allowances
for inexperience.
"5, To endeavor to model all dis
positions alike.
So. Not to yield in unimportant
trif1es. :.
"7. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
"8. To worry ourselves and 9th
ers about what cannot be remedied.
80. To consider thing impossi-
BILE which we ourselves cannot per-
form.
40. Failing to help others when
ever, however, and wherever we can.
al. To believe only what our
minds can grasp.
"12. Not to make allowances for
the weakness of -others.
There are many @other mistakes
that we can make, of course, but if
we try to keep from these twelve in
particular we will be headed in the
right direction. And in striving to
avoid these twelve we will no doubt
avoid many others.

TO MAKE MILK FROM RICE.
Machine Has Been invented Which
VIII Prove Boon to Mankind.

According to an article which ap-
peared in the October number Of the
Rice Journal, the day is not far dis
tant when the public will be enabled
to obtain pure and unWatered milk
manufactured from rice. The ar
tic1e explain that this is not new
kind of vegetable drink, but the
genuine life-giving liquid, with seven
per cent butter fat, from which the
very best kind of butter can be
made.
"sA machine for making milk from
rice has been invented, and soon will
be placed on the market the jour-
nal states. 1T may be possible, it
continues, 'for each cellar to have
one of these, and therefore, every
home fresh dairy products at an IN
significant cost: Not only that, but
it may be possible to construct the
machines so they can do other cellar
work when they are not being milk
ed. In this way, baby may receive
nourishment, and dad comfort and
safety, for there can certainly be no
law passed which will give govern
ment officials the right to break up
the family cow
ssThis new invention may not only
revolutionize the dairy business, but
the whole eating. world. The Asso-
ciated Rice Millers of America are
teaching people through national ad-
vertising to eat rice as staple food
and feed it to their children as soon
as they cut their first teeth, and now
it may be possible to start on the
coming rice eaters at little earlier
