A PERTINENT QUESTION

Congressman W. F. Stevenson oc
casionally gets after the Republicans
with sharp stick. When the discus.
sion was on regarding ii ,0O0presden.
tial postmasters and $4,000 fourth
class postmasters, Mr.. Stevenson said
to Mr.. Walden, Republican leader of
Illinois:
DO | understand, then. that the
gentleman is in favor of letting the
new administration fill all the presi
dental offices and then cover them
with civil service, which will protect
them, regardless of the administration
that comes in thereafter"
Sharp practice that by the Repub.
hcanS, but perhaps it won't work

AN HONOR WORTHILY
BESTOWED

In Birmingham, Alabama, {, few
days ago there was loving cup valu-
ed at $4,000 awarded by the Daily
News of Birmingham.
The paper made the offer of the
LOVING cup to be given to the city's
greatest benefactor. 1t was decided
by the committee that the cup should
be awarded to DR.. James A. Bryan,
pastor of the third Presbyterian
Church. Out of 81 nominations for the
cup, DR.. Bryan was selected. His kind
ness of heart in relieving distress was
shown in the relation of many pathe-
tic incidents. DR.. Bryans worthiness
was not based on any spectacular
deed; no large gift of money was
credited to his account; no single deed
of heroism, but rather the summing
up of thirty-two years of humble SER
vice to his fellow man.
The good Doctors deeds were done
quietly and just where they would do
the most good.
This incident among many others
was related:
DIR. BRYAN was going out in the
country one day, in Ford car, when
he came upon an old man weeping
over the loss of a mule which had Just
died in harness. The preacher was
soon in possession of all the facts,
which briefly, were, that the old
farmer had no money or credit to
buy another mule. Without MON
ent's hesitation he put his hand on the
old mans shoulder and said, Come
on, brother, I'll sell the Ford and buy
you mule, which he did"

Take Pepto-Mangan, The
Red Blood Builder
Either you are in good health or YOU
are not. There's no half way. You
may think nothing of being a little
run down. 1t may not worry YOU if
you look pale. You may think you'll
be all right tomorrow or next day. But
will you?
Certain it is when you do not feel
just right, you are not right. There is
probably something the matter with
your blood. And while you can get
around and do your work YOU are
leaving yourself open to any of the
diseases that are always waiting to
take possession of run down people.
When you are pale and easily tired
"hen you cannot enjoy your meals.
when you lose enthusiasm, your blood
needs attention.
Take Pepto Mangan for awhile. 1t
is great tonic. 1t will build up YOUR
resistance to disease and you will soon
feel stronger. The little red corpuscles
are fighters. They battle with disease
germs and win out when there are
enough of them. Keep your system
well supplied. Then you will keep well
and you will enjoy life.

Pepto-Mangan. Ask for it by the full

Columbia, Feb 21.-Speaking at a
meeting of the South Carolina Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society on
last Wednesday night, former Cover
nor Richard |. Manning declared that
financial ruin faces the South unless
there is a material reduction in the
cotton acreage this year. He declared
that there are thousands of people
, who do not yet realize the seriousness
of the situation.
Mr.. Manning said that there was a
large surplus of cotton on hand and
that the production of anything over
half crop this year would mean ruin
Gus prices next fall. He said that the
truth of the situation ought to be driv-
en- nome to every citizen of the State.
A letter which is being sent out ov-
er the country by the thousands by a
prominent New York banker in which
the statement is made that the well
fare of the whole country rests on the
outcome of the cotton depression was
quoted by Governor Manning. The
banker warned the South that credits
| extended it by the bankers of the
North would be regulated by the re-
duction in cotton acreage.
Governor Manning urged the Socie-
ty to lend its hearty support to the
acreage reduction campaign being
conducted by the American Cotton
Association.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Manning's
remarks, the society unanimously
adopted resolution offered by Capt.
q. n. Nickles of Due West, endorsing
the acreage reduction campaign of
the American Cotton Association and
calling on every farmer of the State
to not plant over one-third of his cul-
tivated land in cotton. The resolution
asks every organization in the State
20 support the campaign being con-

ham declared never had It's superior
anywhere in history.
AS he went to the front he met a
courier on a lathered horse, bearing
the dreadful news of Bunker Hill. "DId
the militia fight" was all he wished
to know. "Yes" 'Then the liberties
OF the country are safe" Although It
Is said that Washington never in his
life read but one book on the art of
war, he knew that II the people would>
only stand up to the kings regulars,
they could lose every battle and still
defeat an enemy who was 5000 miles
from his base.
The Revolution was not won by the
sword Of Washington. but by his in
domitable character. 1t was his char
acter. slowly built up by poverty and
struggle. which had given him from
the start the leadership over men
who talked more; yes. and who knew
more.
The invincible fortitude Of q people,
heroically embodied in him. Overthrew
the kings army and navy and his
Hessians. The unconquerable spirit
OF the 5000 hunted, hungering, shiv-
ering, ragged Continentals of Valley
Forge wrested from the British crown
an empire greater than all the con-
quests made by Napoleon's grand
army.
AT the last, as the Americans leaped
tfose last hurdles to independence. the
British redoubts at Yorktown, Wash
ington only said: 1.-THE work is done

Ihe war was over. but the noblest
victory was yet to come. Having re-
ceived the surrender sword of Corn
wallis, Washington surrendered his
own. unstained by personal ambition.

him and went back to his farm, from
which he was called to become the

TO THE MEN OF AMERICA
BY Rose Trumbull, Scotsdale, Arix

BY Rose TrumbuI, Scotsdale, Arix.
You talk of your breed of cattle,
And plan for higher strain,
You double the food of the pasture.
You heap up the measures of grain,
You draw on the wits of the nation,
To better the barn and the pen:
But what are you doing, my brothers,
To better the breed of men?
You boast of your Morgans and Here
fords,
Of the worth of calf or a colt,
And scoff at the scrub the mongrel,
AS worthy fool or dolt;
You mention the points of your road
ster,
With many a wherefore" and
"when,"
But, ah, are you coming, my brothers,
The worth of the children of men?
And what of your boy? Have you
measured
His deeds for growing year?
Does your mark as his sire, in his
features,
Mean less than your brand on a
steer?
Thoroughbred-that is your watch
word,
For stable, pasture and pen;
But what is your word for the home
stead?
Answer, you breeders of men!
