FOR THE LEGISLATURE

To the Voters Of Newberry County:
AS a candidate for the unexpired
term for the legislature, I have been
asked for my platform, if elected. |
candidly give it here, to wit:
l am against any and all high sal
aries of state and county officers;
against all high appropriations.
If you want the now fearful ex-
penses of the sheriff's Office, don't
vote for me; if you want the high
salary of the superintendent of edu-
cation, don't vote for me; if you want
the useless and high salaried office Of
rural policeman, don't vote for me;
if you want the useless office of farm
demonstration, don't vote for me; If
you want the useless Office of canning
demonstration, don't vote for me; if
you want high appropriations for
Clemson college, Winthrop college,
South Carolina college, Charleston
college, Negro college, don't vote for
me; if you want the useless and fear
full salaried office of health unit, don't
vote for me; if you want the useless
office of health clinic, don't vote for
me; if you want the coming leglsla-
ture to vote referendum for the con-
templated fifty million dollars bond
issue, don't vote for me.
/ have an idea that Clemson col
lege, Winthrop college and South
Carolina college should either be CIV
en- or sold to those grand old Chris
tians, the Baptists, Presbyterian and
Methodists, and let them be made de-
nominational institutions.
Your Obedient Servant,

FISH AND GAME CHIEF
GUEST OF COUNTY LEAGUE
Major Sheldon Will Deliver Address
at Spring Meeting

Secretary P. E. Crane of the Addi-
son County Fish and Game league has
sent out cards announcing the spring
meeting of the league, at the Stevens
house, Vergennes, on Friday evening,
April %, at 7:30 o'clock. Major H. P.
Sheldon of Fair Haven, the newly ap-
pointed fish and game commissioner,
will be the guest Of honor, and will
address the league
Commissioner Sheldon will speak on
Conservation and Common Sense" at
the annual supper of the Fish and
Game League to be held in Nergennes
on April % The new Commissioner is
a strong believer in the axiom that the
true sportsman is the best conserva-
zionist, and that the worst enemy of
wildlife is the short-sghted individual
who refuses to see that respect for the
game laws is essential to the better
ment of shooting and fishing He be-
lieves that the best work can be ac-
complished through organizations re-
presenting all classes interested in
shooting, fishing and natural history,
and that these organizations can be
made effective in influencing public
opinion to a saner view of the limita-
tions of our natural resources.
The farmer is entitled to a great deal
of consideration from sportsmen, and
way must be found to bring the in
terests of the two classes together. The
Fish and Game Commission has de-
veloped a plan in Windham County
with regard to stocking trout streams
which is regarded as highly satisfac-
tory to the farmer, the fisherman and
the needs of conservation AS out
lined, the plan provides for natural
hatchery in the headwaters of the
stream to be cared for by the state. 1t
also provides a private fishing pre-
serve for the farmer and plenty of
well-stocked water which will be open
to the general public 1t is hoped
that organization sentiment can be
devesoDed sufficiently in Addison
County to permit work Of this nature
to be started here

NEW CABLE IN CHAMPLAIN
RESTORES BRIDPORT SERVICE
Telephone Connection Resumed with
New York on Tuesday

After an interruption of several
mnths, direct telephone communi-
cation between Bridport and Crown
Point, n Y, was resumed Tuesday
with the connection of the new cable
in Lake Champlain recently laid by
the Champlain Telephone Company
The original cable had ceased to func-
ton in November 1920. Since that
time it had been necessary to relay
messages from Bridport to the New
York shore through Rutland and other
southern points,
The cable was laid Monday evening.
1t was necessary to work at night in
order to avoid the interference of
traffic on the lake. Two thousand
feet of the lead cased wires were un-
rolled from the huge reels that were
borne on ferryboat. Manager A. A.
Preble personally superintended the
work With him worked six men. A
strong light was set up on the New
York side as a guide in keeping the
cable straight in line with the course
mapped out. The distance had been
measured carefully. If the party had
drfted out of that course the cable
might be found too short.
The original cable that was laid
twenty-five years ago had been spliced
in several places. The water leaked
through the splicings and formed short
circuits on account Of the wires lack
ing individual insulation, or Timing"
in the language of the lineman. So
great had become the interference with
the service that the management of
the Champlain Company decided to
lay the new cable There are two
other cables in Lake Champlain, the
property of the Shoreham and New
England companies.

GETS ONE HANDICAP

the features of Wilson were shown
incidentally with the title "Our
Own Great War President. 1t

one held his breath in expectation.
The hum of the spinning protector

Then lone handicap from the
rear of the hall, almost in the
corner, broke the tenseness. The
single retainer of the once popu
lar idol quickly appreciated the
lonesomeness of his position and
ended his plaudits where they had

SOCONY MULES REPLACED
BY MODERN MOTOR TRUCK
Standard Oil Builds 10000 Gallon
Tank and Spur Track

The familiar mules of the Standard
Oil Companv's wagon tanks are nc
more in Middlebury. The growth in
business with the increase of automo-
biles and tractors has necessitated
their substitution by a large motor
truck. The four long cared and short
tailed servants had never failed to get
their heavy load to the towns sur
rounding, in spite of the almost impos-
sible spring roads But theirs was a
slow il faithful service at best and
they have been shipped to cover pio-
neer routes where speed will be OF
little account
A large tank of 10000 gallons capa-
city has been built by the Standard
Oil Company Immediately north of the
Cooperative Creamery. The smaller
tanks will be moved to a site adjoin-
ing. A spur track had been laid there
some time ago in anticipation of the
erection of the big tank.
Several of the garages in Middle
bury have been supplied with the five
gallon pumps, much larger and easier
of operation than the style that they
replaced. Large signs, twenty feet and
more in length. have been painted by
A. c. Taber for erection on garages
throughout the county. Now that the
company has better established the
monopoly it holds locally in the sale of
gasoline by these improvements, the
motorists hope for another step more
vital to their pocketbooks, a reduction
in consumer costs.

A Stitched Heart.
mission.

A few years ago it was the common belief
that the human heart was such a sensitive
organ that mere touch upon it would re-
suit in death The slightest wound was be-
lieved to be necessarily fatal. 1t is evident
that. in view Of what can be done with the
human heart today, the surgical profession
did not know very much about the organ.
In these DAYS, when surgery has leaped tar
ahead. it is possible to treat the heart with
almost as much freedom as any other vital
organ 1t can be operated upon, laid bare,
touched and even massaged, Wounds in 1t
NAV be healed with stitches taken to close
incisons. Patients recover today after sui
fering injuries that, before the war, would
have been enough to doom them.
Several stitches recently were taken in the
heart of New York youth who had been
stabbed He wanted to sit up and then get
out Of bed Immediately after the operation.
It was not permitted, OF course, as it was
known that his recovery was in doubt. Today
he is getting we'll The wound is healing and
the surgeons in attendance are congratulatng
both the boy and themselves. He may be an
invalid for the rest of his life, but, with many
persons, that is far better than death. On the
other hand, it is said he has an even chance
to make complete recovery and develop into
a strong man, just as though his heart had
not been laid open with knife and stitches
taken to close the wound.
The war was a curse on mankind, but a
great boon to surgery Much was learned on
the battlefield and in the base hospitals that
will be applied for humanitys benefit in peace

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Remove Dead Trees From Orchards.

Editor Dawson News: Peach trees that
have died since last spring are to be found
in practically every orchard in the Georgia
peach belt. These dead or nearly dead trees
are very detrimental to the remaining healthy
ones. Theysare breeding places for contagious
free diseases but more especially do they offer
breeding places for fruit tree bark beetles or
pinhole borers. These small beetles often feed
upon healthy trees especially near the buds,
causing droplets Of gum to exude
All dead or dying trees in the orchards
should be removed at once. Do not wait until
fall or winter. Furthermore, do not just re
move the top, but all large roots as well. Al
low the hole from which the roots were re-
moved to remain open at least 80 days before
rehlling. This will give the sun time to do
some disinfection work. Growers will be well
repaid for giving this matter immediate at
tention, as many trees that are now healthy
will soon succumb to the ravages of pests
liberated from dead trees.

LIVING ON THE SURFACE.

Editor Dawson News: DR.. Henry Van
Dyke in a recent article discussing the pres
ent condition and the future of this country
said: "If America is to be good tomorrow
the people of this generation must cease to
live on the mere surface Of things"
The citizen, statesman, patriot and Chris
tan needs to have this statement constantly
before their eyes md in their thoughts. Our
people are living too much on the mere sur
face of things. The seriousness of life is too
remote from their thought and their conduct
Life is serious thing, though all of life
should not be devoted to seriousness. Mere
things cannot work for us the higher and bet
ter conditions for which all people should
strive Man shall not live by bread alone but
by every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God. That is the statement OF the
wisest teacher this world has known, and i
reveals the one safe philosophy OF life.
The one safe and comprehensive rule OF
life: Psalms -Wherewithal shall a
young man cleanse his way? By taking heed
thereto according to thy word.
The word of God is the one complete chars
for useful and happy living. It's truths are
adaptable to every condition and every emer-
Igency of human experience.

ANOTHER CALL FOR WATER.

Editor Dawson News: l wish through your
paper to call attention of the city fathers OF
public which they have evidently overlooked.
Last year there were several good places on
Main street where we could water our stock
while in town on business which was espe-
cialy helpful in hot weather There were also
two deep wells where we could Stake our thirst
with cool drink any time of the day or
night without price. Not all of us care for
soda water drinks, even if money was plenti-
full, and that seems our only recourse since
the supply of pure water from the wells has
been cut off. l feel sure the mayor and cOun-
Gil will somehow provide a remedy for sit
uation so inconvenent and unpleasant to the
farmers having business in Dawson.
