White House of COnfederacy.
MOBILE, Ala.,-For all time the
first White House of the Confederacy
of Montgomery, about which much
southern history has been constructed
since 1861. will stand as u monument
to the cause for which southern men
gave their lives in the conflict be-
tween the American states. The re-
moval of the building from its old po-
sition on Bibb and Moulton streets to
a site purchased by the state brings
to an end an effort started by the
first White House Association many
years ago. Legislature after leglsla-
ture was appealed to for assistance In
the purchase of the building and a
site, but each refused the request.
Finally. an effort was made to OBJ
tain funds by private subscription
and the devious ways womens asso-
Citations use. This process too SLOW.
another appeal was made and the
legislature of 1919 made an appro-
priation sufficient to purchase the site
and move the building.

ANOTHER MELON GROWER

In our last issue we had a few re-
marks to, make about Col. P. D.
Klugh as a melon grower. All we
said about him, and little more, is
true, but even at that he has nothing
on Col. Jim Taggart, of Mccormick
County, who is really an Abbeville
man. Col. Taggart has furnished the
editor of the Press and Banner with
watermelon for Son Bill for every
Sunday in this month. 90.
It is true that Son Bill did not get
the last one, but that is due to no
fault of Col. Taggart. He brought the
melon all right. but he left it at the
wrong place. Not finding the editor at
hcne, he entrusted the melon to the
red-headed and bobbed headed girls
in the, front part Of the Press and
Banner office. When the editor got
back home, he found that they were
saving the seed, and had drawn up
al set of resolutions to be forwarded
to Col. Taggart. The resolutions fol-
lowed several clauses commencing
with the usual Whereas" in which
clauses it was stated that the water
melon had been left as stated; that
bobbed head had looked at it so hard
that it "busted;" that red head then
proposed>that it be eaten, which was
done; that the editor made demand
for his watermelon which could not
be delivered; that a fuss was started
but a compromise reached as recited
in the resolution which was and is as
follows:
Resolved: thai in order to settle
all disputes about said watermelon
the whole matter be compromised on
the following terms, to wit: Col. Tag
CART is to bring two more water
melons to town, one of which is to
be delivered to red head and bobbed
head in satisfaction Of their griev-
ances, and the other is to be deliver
ed to the editor to take place of the
one busted; and when Col. Taggart
has so done everything will again
be "n'icely."

Bond Bids Too Low

900 worth of Santee bridge bonds
were opened here this week, but the
proposals submitted were not salts
factory to the commission, it is un-
derstood, and this second and final
issue will likely be. disposed of
through other channels, there being
little difficulty in placing these
bonds advantageously. An issue for
100000 has already been sold. No
delay in construction will develop
in any case, as the financial end of
the big project is fully arranged for
at a pace to keep up with the prog
ress of the work itself. ALI neces-
sary contracts for the bridge have
been let and it should be opened
to traffic in 1923, forming valuable
highway link for the coastal section
of the state and in the Atlntic

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 6.-The

NOBODY AT STATION " =
TO CLAIM REMAINS
Bodies of Two Soldiers Brought
From France-One Inferred
In Washington. "

Laurens, Aug! 6.-Some days ago
the body of Private Wexford Knight,
age %, who was accidentally killed
in Germany May 22, last, was re-
ceived by kinsmen living in the
Mount Olive section Of Laurens
county. The following day the re-
mains of the soldier were laid 10 rest
with suitable exercises at Poplar
Springs church. Private Knight was
with the army of occupation on the
Rhine. It is understood he was fat
ally injured when he fell from, a
second story window. He died at the
base hospital. A singular coincident
in connection with the arrival of
Private Knights body is the state;
ment as given here yesterday by
citizens of that part of the county,
to the effect that the body of Ed
ward Knight, brother OF Wexford
Knight arrived from France at about
the same time, being brought to
Shoals Junction, near Ware Shoals,
but as there was no one at the rail
road station to take charge of the
body or claim it, it is said the officer
accompanying the remains carried
the body on to Washington and had
it inferred in the National cemetery.
Edward Knight was member of the
Thirtieth Division and fell i'm action
in 1918. These soldier boys were the
sons of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Will
B. Knight, formerly residently of the
Brewerton section of this county,
and only the younger children of
the family now reside anywhere in
that section.

PASSES
FARMERS BILL
RELIEF MEASURE SENT TO
HOUSE is SUBSTITUTE FOR
ORIGINAL NORRIS MEASURE
WHICH HAS NOW BEEN LAID
ASIDE. .

Washington, Aug. 6.-Another
farmers relief measure, the admin
istration plan for government aid in
supplying credit for expectation Of
agricultural products, was passed by
the senate today and sent to the
house. .....
The bill was a substitute for the
original Norris bill and provides for
the war finance corporation to fur
nish the export credits. The Norris
bill, which proposed a new govern
ment credit organization was laid
aside formally and the substitute, in
charge of Senator McNary (Republi-
can) Of Oregon for the agriculture
committee was passed without roll
call. #
The substitute plan was drafted
by Secretary Hoover Of the depart
ment of commerce and director
Meyer of the war finance corpora
ton. It was adopted virtually intact
today, the bill authorizing the war
finance corporation to make loans to
'agriculturalists' associations, banks
and trust companies. The bill makes
no change in the corporations cash
capital of $5OO,OOO,OOO, but reduces
from ss,OoO,ooO,eOo to $2,ooo,ooo-
900 the authorized maximum Of
bonds it may issue. This, according
to Director Meyer, WIFI be more
than sufficient.

CROWBAR USED TO PRY
BOY LOOSE FROM MULE

Long Greek, Ore, Aug. 6.-Clar-
enc Porter had to be pried loose
from a man eating mule with a
crowbar, when the recalcitrant ami
NAL sunk it's teeth in his leg and
efused to let 60.
Clubs, stones and knives had no
more effect on the mule than SITS
cuss words on the famous Maud, and
the iron crowbar had to be inserted
between the jaws and the mouth
forced open before te boy could be
released.
Young Porter was seriously in.
jured, the flesh on his leg being torn
away from the bone.
