prominent among their race, to go to
Martinsburg and testify that Peyton
was In Winchester at the time Of the
alleged assault, but they refused to go,
saying that they had no knowledge Of
the mans whereabouts at that time.
When Peyton broke jail at Martins
burg last week he left a note, saying
he was going to get evidence to estab.
l1sh his innocence. He made straight
for Winchester and sought out a num-
ber of negroes. trying to induce them.
1t was said. to aid him in establishing
an alibi.
Now that Peyton has been sentenced,

former boon companions are threaten
ing those who refused to perjure them

Wise Women

A famous medica1 man of an
cient times states regarding his
writings that they were but a col
lection of knowledge obtained
from the "Wise Women"
Do you realize that in those
times the women, and not the
men, knew about the healing pro-
perties of medicinal plants, roots
and herbs? From the earliest
times, women had a knowledge of
the treatment of disease and of the
healing merit of roots and herbs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was originated by a wo-
man, Lydia E. Pinkham, and is
now known and praised by wo-
men of all ages, 1t is prepared
from roots and herbs having medi-
cinal action of great value in the
treatment of troubles women so
often have.-Advertisement.

Since Mr.. McAdoo, as the chief fnancier of the

q~uestion as to responsibility for the disastrous ca
fleets of defstiun, It Is Pertinent tolook back over the
record and see at what period In our admrnstraGVe
histury ffat definition took place II McAdoo VIII turn
30 page 81 of the report of the Federal Reserve board
dated February 16, 1921, and covering the year l9ZO,
.he board approved an increase in the rate of discount
On loans secured by Liberty bonds, Victory notes and
TRADE aceeptanecs- Toward the end Of January the
rats on paper secured by liberty bonds and Victory
notes was advanced TO 5A per cent and the rates on
an classes of commercial paper including trade ae-
ccptances and agricultural and livestock paper, 20 8
per cent On the following page he VIII find the state
tment that rates on commercial paper and on agreul-
Aural and livestock paper were advanced IN June to
z per cent by four banks and the trade acceptance rate
20 the same level by three of the same banks and the
fourth bank advancing it to 6h per cent. On page
SO Mr.. McAdoo VIII find this increased discount rate
referred to as a means of credit CONTROL which Is, OF
course, another name for defation- That the Federal
Peserve board did not stHrt this deffation program in
ignorance of its effects Is shown by a statement on
mage IL in which the board sayB that it has never
called to take account of the consequences Of its dis
count policies Thus we see That the board began its
increase of discount rates early in 1920 and had raised
The discount rates on commercial, agricultural and
livestock paperto 6A or z per cent IN June of that
yezr7
But there rs other evidence OF the time when the
defation movement began If Mr.. McAdoo will turn
20 page Al of the "Annaist' for January 8, 1921, a
periodical published by : Democratic newspaper, he
will find a chart showing the average wholesale price
of twenty-five food commodities, these commoditier
being the principal agricultural products of the United
States, and the prices given being practically those
which the producer receives he win find from that
chart that in June, 1920, Wholesale prices of agricul-
tural products were represented by an index number
of 329. By the middle of February, 1921, before the
Republicans had come into power, those average whole
sale values had diminished TO a scale represented by
tine index number 1876. This Was a decrease of 144
points or almost A per cent
These are facts which Mr.. MeAdoo must know if
he has made any effort TO speak advisedly. If he does
not know them, he has poor educational training for
such a high office as the presidency If he knew the
facts but misstated them, he has disqualifications other
than educational that would render him unfit either
for the presidency or for amy other office of public
trust

PEPPER SUMS IT Up.

The clsarest and most concise statement of the New
berry case has been made by Senator Pepper of Penn
sylvania, one of the greatest lawyers of the country
and a citizen of highest standing. Senator Pepper
bald:
''The Michigan primary was held August 27, 1918.
hi. Newbery was a candidate for the Republican
nomination Mr. Henry Ford announced himself as a
candidate for the Republican nomination and also as a
Democrat c~ontesting for tho Democratic nomination.
Ford had a statewide industrial organization which
he was able to use for publicity and campaign pur-
poses without the expenditure of additional money.
Eewberry, being without this advantage and being con-
tinuously absent from the state on naval duty, the
committee in charge of his campaign raised and spent
about s195,0oo to bring his name before the people
of the state
"Ths money WAS an spent for purposes authorized
by the Michigan statute governing election expenses.
Whether the money was wasted or wisely spent is a
matter of opinion 1t is likewise a matter of opinion
as to how much money it is j~ustifable to spend on
campaign publicity. Welfare drives and similar cam
raigns involve enormous expenditures for such pur-
poses.
%Newberry received the Republican and Ford the
Democrats nomination. Within ten days, as required
by law, the NeWberry committee published-on Sep
tenber Ga classified statement exhibiting the recent
and disbursement of the sum above specified.
"Thereupon the Ford machine attacked the expendi.
ture as unjustifable, and the subject was vehemently
discussed all over the state for two months.S At the
erd Of two months, namely, on November 5, both can.
didates left the issue to the people. The people chose

Their Daily Bread

DR.. J. w. Daniel in Southern Chris
tian Advocate.
Our progenitors in the Piedmont
lived on wholesome food. though it
did not come to them in sanitary
packages it was clean. When the
Colonlsts first came to Virginia they
found the Indians cu}tivatins corn
and from the first settlement of the
country it came TO be the most UNI
versally used article Of food among
the settlers. They saw how the Ind
ans covered the green ears with the
shuck, in hot embers, t:1en ate them,
The settlers did likewise and calie.;
them ''roaSting-ears. The SaVageS
also taught them how to hol! the
dried grain in lye-wate: filtered
through wood ashes, wash 1t TIL the
husk came off, then boil It III thor
ouehly cooked and they called It big
honniny.'' They also observed the say
ages as they pounded the dry grain
IN stone mortars, then taking the
powdered meal moistened it with Wa
ter and formed it into a round loaf.
then covered it in hot embe-s to cooks
i. Many white settlers learned the
art and cooked these cakes on the':
own hearth-stones and called them
'.ash-cakes." The cooking Uttens:l:
of the Colonists were limited; how
ever, necessity is always the mother
of invention. and they improved the
savage method cooking the corn
dough: they spread it on the blade
of a wedding hoe and laid It on live
Goals and called it ''hoe-cake.' Indian
corn came, therefore, to be the most
wholesome article of food in the
world, food which noar!shes the
whole man. The Scotch pioneers
substituted corn meal for their ne
tive oatmeal, boiled it, adding q Il
tie salt, to the consistency OF q ti:leh
Cruel, then covered it with milk and
ate it, while warm, with a spoon from!
a bowl. They called it "mush." The
simple meal of milk and mush, eaten
for supper, contributed much to their
good digestion and robust health.
The pioneer in few minutes
could, with his trusty rife, bring
down a fat buck and with hot corn
cakes and venison could make a good
meal. The flesh of the deer was also
dried by hanging it over their broad
cabin 6re-plaees. They ate it as we
eat our Clipped beat. They also
learned the art Of drying pumpkins
by thrusting sticks through the pared
