Pnckrcy's immortal Declaration.

Charles c. Pinckney was one Of
three ENJOYS sent by the United
States to France in 1897 to settle dis
putes wh!,e kad arisen betN cen France
and the United States. Tbs American
grievance was caused by the seizure
of American vessels by Frnnce. The
French grievance was that commercial
privileges had been granted to Eng
land. Talleyrand, the French foreign
minister, refused to receive the ell
voys, but it had been conveyed to
them by secret agents that before any
settlement could be reached it would
be necessary for the United States to
pay large sum of money. which was,
in fact little more than bride. 1t
was then that Ptnckney made his
famous declaration, that the United
States had millions for defense, but
not one cent for tribute"

Museum Of Art contains quarter Of

that skillful armorer might make

fifty of these links day, you can see
that this mail would have cost its

three years wOrk-a low estimate for

AFOOD BOARD
Secretary Hoover Suggests 1t as
Means of Relief to Both
Farmer and Consumer.
(By The Associated Press.) !

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-Creation
of national food marketing board
under the chairmanship of the Sec
retary of agriculture and with the ex-
listing bureau of markets as it's exec1-
tive arm was suggested today by Sec
retary Hoover as a means OF relief TO
farmers and consumers.
In a letter to Senator Capper, of
Kansas. the commerce secretary out
lined as one OF the functions of such
board "the formation of regulations
or voluntary agreements with the pro-
duce exchanges in such manner as net
20 undermine the very necessary pro-
cess of hedging but ct the same time
to control that tyne CO speculation
which is able through powerful drives
upon the market to crush the weak
holder Of grain and force him upon the
market"

Other services to he performed by
the proposed board. Secretary Hoover
said, would be the determination and
publication of facts as to distribution
and prices of vegetables and fruit. and
the development OF warehousing prac-
tices with respect to grain and other
less per;shable agric altural products.

TALLAHASSEE, April 2S The ap-
pointment matter has at last been set
tied in the senate, that body by viva
yoce vote of Is to Is, this morning,
concurring in the house amendments
to the senate joint resolution for a
constitutional amendment allowing the
people to vote in 1922 on reapportion-
ment.
The matter has laid on the table in
the senate since Tuesday morning.
when the Phillips amendment to the
Campbell resolution allowing 80 mem
bers of the house instead of 72, as the
Campbell plan originally put it, came
over from the house, where it passed
Monday night. Campbell was a little
afraid to- bring it up, knowing there
was some objection to the resolution.
This morning he was willing TO
chance the passage of the amendment,
and Senator Lindsay moved that the
senate concur in the house amend
ments, urging that the house should
be granted the right to fix it's own
membership without objection from
the senate and saying that if this bill
did not pass it would be extremely diff
ficult to put another through.
Senator Taylor spoke briefly against
concurrence, saying the amendment
placed the house membership too high,
in his opinion. He felt that the matter
was up to the senate as well as to
the house. Senator Bradshaw, of Ham
ilton county, whose county is the only
one in the state losing a representa-
tive, tried to offer an amendment, but

the motion was on concurrence and
his amendment was not received. He
wanted Hamilton county left with its
two representatives Senator Mapoles
also spoke briefly in favor of concur
renee. When the vote was taken the
president could not determine the pre-
ponderance, and called for the yea
and nay vote, which was announced
by the clerk as 10 for concurrence to
13 against.
The resolution provides that the mat
ter of reapportionment on the lines in
dicated, SO representatives and not to
exceed 80 senators, Shall be submitted
to the people in the 1922 election If
they vote for it, then this resolution
becomes a part of the constitution.
The senate passed number of bills
on third reading, among them Sena-
tor Stokes bin amending the pilot
laws of the state. His bill cut down
the number of bar pilots at Pensacola
from Is to 10 Senator Malone offered
an amendment, which was accepted
cutting the pilots at Key West from
10 TO 8. The bill passed without trou-
BILE. as it made nc other changes IN
the existing laws s.nd the pilots of
both these ports warG.ed the legislation.
Senator Hulley's bill providing that
time shall be set apart for the physical
education of children in the state
schools, also passed, as did Senator
Johnson's bill calling for an appropri-
alton of $4,000 for an experiment sta
tion in Gadsden county to work on
tobacco pests, providing the people of
the county donate lands.
