casion for general Rally Day, the
purpose being to inculcate feeling
of friendship and mutual dependence
between the women of the country
and Abbeyille. Alta meeting recently
of the; County League of Farm Wom-
en- the fear was expressed that the
women of the city might not enter
into the market dey plans with prop
er enthusiasm and that it would
avail them nothing if they came to
town early Tuesday with their pro-
duce. The women of Abbeville ex-
pect to stir up such a feeling of
friendship and cooperation on this
day that there may never again be
question of their attitude when their
cooperation is needed to make any
mutual benefit project success.

bring in produce can be preaviled
upon to stay in town for the meeting

BOTH SIDES TALK
. Of BONUS MEASURE
REPUBLICANS URGED NOT TO
SURRENDER TO DICTATOR"
KENYON TELLS MEMBERS
BILL CAN BE PAID-REFERS
: TO PRIZE FIGHT.

Washington, July. 16.-President
Harding's proposal that the soldier
bonus bill be recommitted to the fin
ance committee was the basis of tur-
bulent debate in the Senate today,
charges of "dictation" being adyanc-
ed by Democrats and denied by Re-
publicans.
In preparation for final aaction,
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa,
offered an amendment which would
instruct the finance committee to re-
port back the bill early in January.
Opposition waas Immediately voiced
from both sides, Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, characterizing the
suggestion as moral cowardice" and
asserting that six months delay would
make no difference to the taxpayers
while Senator Watson, Democrat,
Georgia. described the proposed ac-
ton as "a floral wreath on the grave
of the BILL" m.E. =
Allied debts, tariff and tax revision
figured in the discussion. Democrats
and Republicans joined in declaring
that the Allied debt refunding was
not sufficient ground for deferring
the bill The bill itself was assailed
by Republicans as well as Democrats
Senator Harrison, Mississippi; Nc
Kellar, Tennessee and Reed. Missou-
ri, made the principal speeches a
gainst recommittal for the Democrat
ic side. The Mississippi Senator sre-
ferred to President Harding as a
dictator" and urged the Republican,
not to surrender" He declared the
Presidents course indicated "lack Of
for Congress and warned
the Republicans they could not play
double with the people,"
Senator Reed also declared recon-
initial would be ga polite way of kill
ing the BILL" President Harding's ad-
dress, he said, made no suggestion as
to time .''when the stone would be roll
ed away from the sepulchre."
''If there is a spark of life left in
it when it is filled with the Penrose
embalming fluid," said Mr.. Reed "the
angel Gabriel could not resurrect it"
Senator Kenyon challenged the ar
gument that funds were lacking to
pay the bills burden. He said that
people had paid s1,eo9,ooo recently
to "see a Stacker knock Frenchman
into insensibility" and declared that
means could be foynd to pay the SOL
diers.

FUELLESS ENGINE.
NEWEST MACHINE
GREENVILLE MAN CLAIMS ! TO
HAVE INVENTED MECHANISM
THAT WILL RUN ON GRAVITY
AND LEVERAGE" = KEEPS
PRINCIPLE SECRET. "

Greenville, July 16.-A Greenville
county man, E. E. Pym, claims to
have invented an engine that viii
run without fuel. Gravity and lev
erage" are the two powers that, Mr..
Pym claims to have harnessed in
the engine he says he has invented.
Lubricating oil is all that is nee
essary to its running, the inventor
states. ''Start it and it runs until
stopped; started and stopped like
another engine; for stationary pur-
poses only; capable Of producing
from one to 100 horsepower"-this is
descriptive Of the machine in the
words of the man who claims to
have invented such a remarkable de-
vice. >rs..
When Mr.. Pym told his story here
this week he was asked if his ma
chine was not the long sought for
perpetual motion device. "Call it
what you want to-" he replied, 81
don't call it perpetual motion. People
laugh at me and say I am crazy, but
l am glad to know that I have mas
tered this great problem. Nobody
will believe me but I am glad to
know that I have mastered it just
the same. I may be. uneducated but
I am not crazy"
Mr.. Pym says his machine is the
product of Is years of labor and
study. He says he constructed a
model last year which he harnessed
to a magnetic used in alaunch on the
st. Johns river in Florida to supply
current for lights and thetIaunch
motor. This model ran the magnetic
for 80 days, he claims. An attempt
was made to steal the model one
night, he says and rather than have
the device taken from him he Destroy
ed it and has not had one since.
He. tells Of having had another in
vention stolen from him byra pat
ent attorney. ~ ...
Mr.. Pym has absolute faith in the
ultimate success of his device. He is
confident beyond question that it will
work. He is seeking chance, he
says, to demonstrate his engine to
the. patent authorities in Washing
ton. Financial backing is necessary
to get the engine patented and later
to put it on the market, Mr.. Pym
declares. He is poor man, accord
ing to his statement, and his machine
must remain improved and useless
to the world until some man of means
is willing to back him up.
Mr.. Pym refuses to reveal the ma
ture of his engine, merely stating
that he has harnessed "gravity and
leverage" in a device that will pro-
duce power.
