feet Of the majors face, the senator,
his voice pitched high, exclaimed,
''F'or two pennies I'd slap your jaws"
The officer did not bat an eye.
Instantly Chairman Brandegee was
on his feet, calling for a sergeant-at-
arms to protect the officer from "an
insult" Then, declaring that he him
self had been insulted, Senator Wat
son announced that he would retire
from the meeting.
Taking hold Of the situation, Sena-
tor Shields declared the committee de-
sired to proceed in order and suggest
ed TO Senator Watson that he had not
been insulted
eve expect you to conduct yourself
here in the same manner you want
others to conduct themselves towards
you," said Senator Shields.
mnsult by Looks"
AN insult can be given by looks"
Senator Watson declared, wheeling
quickly again to face the officer.
IF he looks at me again that way,
III slap his face won't stay here
and be bulldozed by these ofcers-by
this hull iawed brute"
Major Cocheu looked straight ahead
at the senator as Chairman Brandegee
! endeavored to- get the proceedings
within orderly senate bounds. After
repeating his command that the sena-
tor sit down or leave, Chairman Bran
degee and Senator Watson had fiery
exchange as to just what had been
promised In keeping officers out OF the
room while any of the latter's wit
nesses were testifying.
Finally the chairman shouted to the
Georgia senator, asking If he wanted
the officers sent away, and on being
informed that he did, they were told
to get out.
After that things settled down a
bit. Smiles came back to Senator Wat
sons face as he explained that he
wanted to beg the pardon OF the COM
mittee If he had acted in an unseemly
manner. He added, however, that the
officers, sitting there and gazing at
him in an ins0lent manner" had
aroused his Southern blood"

The State.
Greenwood, Dec. 9.--In March, 1925
the Marquis de Lafayette, while on a
triumphant tour of the land which he
had helped to make free, entered
South Carolina near old Cheraw and
proceeding by coach made his way to
the sea. At every stop he was ac-
claimed by grateful people and to
this day the residents OF Camden, Co.
lumbia and Charleston speak Of cele-
brations held in his honor, and other
places point with pride to the fact
that the distinguished Frenchman in
cluded them in his itinerary. The
houses In which he was quartered,
the chairs in which he sat, corner
stones which he laid, are still treas
urcd.
Today, nearly 81 years afterwards,
South Carolina was honored by the
presence Of another great Frenchman,
another man who helped set its pco-
pie free. And from the time Ferdi-
nand Foch, commander in chief OF the
allied forces, first saw the light Of a
Carolina sun near Calhoun Falls this
afternoon until he left the Palmetto
State in the historic Waxhaws to-
might he was acclaimed with the same
warmth Of feeling as was expressed
to his illustrious predecessor.
Only Short Time
South Carolina did not have the
generalissimo within It's borders but
q few, all too few, hours, but In that
short space he travelled over half as
much territory as was covered by the
marquis In about two weeks. The
contrast that time has brought in
transportation was never more vivid
ly impressed than by the two visits.
Lafayette travelled overland, the
roads at times being so bad that MEN,
bers Of the party would lose their
way and carriage bog axle deep. On
more than one occasion serious acci-
dents were narrowly ayerted. The
route from Charleston to Savannah
was reported in such miserable con-
dition that this trip was made by
boat. the craft travelling by inland
waterways. An official stop was made
on Edisto island, where the general
spent 80 minutes, the exact time Mar

PUBLIC OPINION
GREATEST FACTOR
REIMBURSEMENT Depends Upon
Better Understanding

Los Angeles oct. 5-Public opin-
ION Will do more than either railroad
men or bankers can do to bring
about that Improvement in condi-
tons which is the need of the time,
William Sproule president of the
Southern Pacific Co, told the Ameri-
can Bankers association here today
In its 47th annual convention.
The public needs to understand
the banking business better than il
does" he said. Hence the banks
nave gone into the business of pub
lrclty. The people need to under
stand the railroads better than they
do and we need the help of the
bankers to put the case of the rail
roads before the people as something
important to every financial institu-
ton.
"All the railroads got out of the
federal period of control is, first, a
load of debt because of ctptal cx-
penditures incurred by the govern
ment; secondly, the promise of a
guaranteed return, which promise in
large remains unfulflled and tn ,
railroads are without the money and
thirdly, they were left with a huge
labor bill, so huge as to be 10 the
present day a burden upon trans-
oortation that is only partly borne by
increases in freights and fares. And
although but partly borne is causing
keen criticism from the people who
pay those freights and fares.
| The trans continental roads are ir
| a hopeless fix of competing with The
| United States Shipping board vessel:
which do business between the ports
| of this country at loss and for those
| losses the railroads have been taxed
THE roads were taxed to build The
ships in the first place and are being
| taxed to continue their operation a
a loss in the second place. Thes'
high costs Of shipping enter into thu
| railroad difficulties and are part o
the increased freights and fares tn
people have to bear.
9TH railroads were taxed to built
highways are being taxed to main
tain them,' he said and pointed on
that in the meantime the highway
are being broken down under TIL
pounding of ponderous motor tru *
and motor buses.
! with the railroads in this fix,
is idle to talk Of remedy by reduc
tons in rates. he continued.
