IAN OPTIMIST FROM GCCNEE."
Columbia Paper Does Not Want Mr..
Mason to Quit South Carolina.
columbia Record, Ian. 17.)

columbia Record, Jan. ~
We salute Senator Mason, of Oco-
nee county. He Is a man Of happy
and sound quality Of mind. He is pal
pably not "gloom," and moreover
he is courageous enough to get right
up in meeting and say his little piece
without wiggling or wobbling. That
is always the sort Of man TO whom
we delight to extend the glad hand
Of fellowship.
Senator Mason Is tired of listen
ing to the note Of distress. The
croakings Of the ravens Of depression
are distressful to him, and he is at
tempting to choke them off, in the
which .commendable enterprise the
Record bids him "God-speed." The
Senator knows that IL you give dog
bad name, every chance passer-by
will give him swift kick Some OF
our notable statesmen and theorists
rose up on their hind legs at Wash
ington some months ago and howled
in such melancholic fashion that the
impression is very widespread in the
East and all over the country that
the South is "broke." Newspaper
publishers have felt the effects Of
this calamity bowling on that occa-
sion in the reduced volume Of adver-
tising that is coming down this way
from the manufacturers Of the East
and North. Manufacturers konw that
there Is no use Of wasting money try
ing to sell goods to self-confessed
paupers.
Senator Mason has introduced Il
resolution in the Senate deprecating
the continued campaign Of depre5-
sion. He wants the Senate to resolve
"That no further resolutions OF a
depressing and pessimistic nature be
received in the Senate, but that such
resolutions be forthwith rejected and
not considered"
Bravo! We say 1t again. Senator
Mason talks like a real he-man. Also,
in order that 1t may be known that
he probably has as much cause as any
to feel depressed. we want it known
that he is farmer, the son Of a
farmer and the grandson Of a farmer.
He says that If we keep on talking
"hard times" he will have to move

HAD MIGHTY SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Washington Correspondent Tells Of
Joke Played by Senators on
Veteran Capitol Barber.

One Of the most remarkable things
afout men, be they of high or low es-
tate, is that they never grow up.
Take for instance, that group of ell
der statesmen in the United States
senate: Here Is the trick they were
caught playing on Sims, the old negro
barber at the capitol, who has been
shaving them and their kind for forty
years.
Sims is a preacher and great Bibli-
cal authority when he is not shaving
senators. He is profoundly religious.
He has confidence in his fellows.
So. when Senator Harry New Of In
diana told Sims that he had present
for him, the venerable barber walked
into the trap all unsuspecting.
The senator said he wanted to be.
stow his present in private. He and
Sims went into an anteroom. The SEN
ator squatted down and Sims did like
wise. The senator took from his pock-
ct large-sized pair of dice and rolled
them out on the carpet. Sims watched.
AZ tu4S luO1ueul SIOup u ScAd-
tors, in the plot with New, burst into
the room. There, apparently, were Sen
ator New and the old barber, despite
his protestations of religion, shooting
craps. The statesmen were Mortified.
An employee of the senate had been
caught gambling. Sims, of all men,
had gone wrong after forty years
Sims, whom they trusted implicitly. 1t
was a case that called for drastic &C.

Ideal Health Certificate.

A very comprehensive form Of
health certificate is proposed for use
in Germany, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. If adopted, it would form
record of the health of each indi-
vidual at any stage Of life, and at
death would furnish complete his
tory of that individuals whole phys
ical life. This record would constitute
a single health certificate, in which
would be combined the certificate Of
birth, Of vaccination, the health re-
ports of school medical examiners,
and in later life the reports Of health
insurance societies, in which all Ger
mans in industrial life are registered.
The result would be of value, during
the life of the individual, in furnish
ing any attending physician with a
complete family history; and after
death, these certificates would be COL
lected in a central bureau, where they
would furnish material for the study
Of heredity.
