BAPTIST, WAY YANDER!

The gentlemen who came all the
way from Vera Cruz to Hester, S. c.,
to buy over two thousand dollars
worth of good game roosters from
Col. Hester were interesting takers
and gave the latest news from the
republic which has been in the pub
lie eye so long.
They bring the news that Villa has
settled down on a government grant
ed estate and is engaged in the pur-
suits of peace. They tell also that he
is member of the Baptist church
along with Lloyd-George, Harding,
Coolidge, Uncle Jim and the other
big men. All of which brings to mind
the old story of Hon. Josh Ashley,
told during his first year in the leg
islature. Mr.. Ashley was speaking at
length on the good qualities of An
derson county, when some miserable
"anti" from Charleston asked, "Mr.
Ashley what is the altitude of An
derson?" to which Mr.. Ashley re-
piled with a wave of his arms, "Bap-
t:st, way yander."

PRESIDENT WILL URGE
TARIFF REVISION,

Washington, Dec. President
Hardinss message to the new Con-
gress next week, it was declared in
high official circles today, will deal
principally with two subjects: The
tariff and the merchant marine.
OF the tariff. Mr.. Harding is ex-
pected by those close to the White
House. to say that its revision and
passage at the earliest date is neces-
sary and that it should be stripped
OF such provisions as would endanger
or unduly delay its passage
Concerning merchant marine ques-
ton. Mr.. Harding is expected to take
a definite stand for the granting of
some sort of ship subsidy, probably
in the nature Of preferential rates
and routes. as supplementary to the
granting of free tolls to coastwise
shipping through the Panama canal.
was expected also in the same quar-
ters that the President would discuss
section "a of the Jones act, dealing
with the abrogation of trade treaties
ny IiS CACSuIisC. oIuuy VI luc
tion was said to have developed a
feeling on the part of administra-
ton officials that it would be diff
cult if not impossible to carry out the
provision of this section.
!. Tariff matters, senate leaders in
sisted, will occupy the prominent po-
sition in the massage. 1t was asserted
that Mr.. Harding would ask that
rates in the house bill, now in the
hands of the senate finance commit
tee, be fixed on the old basis of in
voice values rather than on the
house provision of American whole
sale valuation. His reason for that
stand, according ito some of his
councillors, was that he had been
assured it would be better to apply
the new system piecemeal than by
employing the plan on all commo-
dities at one time.
To that end, it was stated also, the
President is expected to urge an op-
tional provision in the measure. en-
powering him to apply the home
value basis where, after certain sur
veys. it is found to be advisable or
necessary. Such course was regard
ed by congressional tariff builders
