d FLAG FOX EVERY SCHOOL

Greenville Piedmont.
Newberry county IS credited with
two unique achievements during the
observation Of American Education
week.
First, as heretofore mentioned, the
Newberry Herald and News, edited
by County Superintendent Of Educa-
ton Ebert II. Aull, issued the first
and only American Education Week
edition published this year in South
Carolina. To this accomplishment
the ladies Of the Newberry Civic
league contributed much.
Second, the members of the Amer
lean Legion post Of Newberry last
Tuesday, which was set apart as Pa
tliotisrl day" during American Edu-
cation week, visited every school in
the county and presented it with
handsome American flag. At most of
tae schools towering flag poles had
already been prepared and. when the
ex-soldiers arrived, the national en-
sign was hoisted. These flags will
wave every day during the session,
save when the weather is bad. Doctor
Knots IN the NeWberry Herald and
News makes the excellent suggestion
that the teacher IN each schoo ap-
point some boy every week who will
act as color bearer, responsible for
the raising, lowering and proper care
Of the flag.
The members Of The American Le-
gion in Newberry county have set /
most commendable example. The
day should not be far eff when over
every school in this state will float
not only "Old Glory" bit also the
historic palmetto flag of South Car
olina. 1t is good thing for our COM
/ ing citizens to behold these flags cv-
cry day. Il will be better still Il ta@y
are everywhere taught II the schools
what those ensigns reDgese@t &"d IN
what tender reverence and affection
they should he held.

NEWBERRY BREAKS
THE RECORD


The Carolina Club Boy.
What was probably the best corn
show ever staged by club members
in South Carolina, and what would
easily rival the best i'll the Southern
states, was the show held at Novenl-
ber 10 and II. County Agent Tom
Mills proved that, with 81 lO-ear eX-
libits and IS single-ear exhibits, a
corn show can be made a beautiful
as we'll as educational display. 1t
would have been an inspiration to the
corn breeder to have looked at these
exhibits of corn. The decorations
and arrangements of the entire club
show, Of both the girls and the boys,
were very credi:a5!e.
Falling upon the day of the Arnis-
tice parade, probably 1000 people
looked in at the club show, and no
doubt a majority Of them marveled
at the fine corn which they saw. A
distinct honor was given the club
girls and club boys, in the parade by
the members Of the American Le-
eion. The line Of march was led by
band This was followed by the
club girls, some in costume, some CIV
ing demonstration, and others follow
;ng in columns of four. 1t was very
,ine for the ciub 5oys that they came
Immediately behind the club girls, for
surely the thirty or more youngsters
kept their correct place in ranks and
marched a. if they too had been
members Of the Legion itself. I'm
doubtedly the boys would not permit
the girls TO excel them in marching
and It is reasonable to suppos" that
New5er~y County club wor: will be
crca..y STRENGTHENED because Of the
fact that TIE lab boys Will expect
ano:h@" parade next year.
County Acen; Mills says that clab
worl: in thai COUNTY has been sue
cess tl:s year. The Carolina Club
Boy was already aware Of this fact,
because Of the good reports which
nsvc coMc in from time to time.
Three cheers FOR the Newberry

Quota Of SOAP.

IF all the soap that is manufactured
annually in the United States could be
f1oated-and much Of it could bet
would represent a tonnage not greatly
less than that of the United States
navy, battleships, cruisers, destroyers
submarines, transports and all. The
bureau of the census has just issued
figures for 1919, according to which p
432, 591, 900 pounds of soap was manu-
featured in the United States that
year. That is 1,216,295 tons. These
figures are for all forms of soap.
Figured on the basis of the present
estimated population of the country
there is produced each year twenty
two pounds of soap for every person
in the country, although there is per-
haps no commodity which varies more
in point of individual consumption
than this one. More soap is being pro-
duced in proportion to the population
than in the output of twenty years
ago-about five pounds more for every
individual in the country.-New York
Herald.

from Rome. The new cardinal is ex-
pected ia remain in Chicago.
Shortly afterward, it is expected, he
win leave for Rome.
Archbishop Mundelein has been
prominent among American church
men for a number of years. His
greatest successes, perhaps, have been
in organizing and correlating the
many-sided activities of the church to
the fullest modern standards. Greatest
of all, probably, has been his work in
developing the Catholic schools and
universities.

the poison was administered, and Cath
crime de Medici was freely named as
the instigator Of the murder, though
ne direct proof that she was ever con
nected with the affair has ever come to
light.
WraXWell, continuing his account of
the strange illness of the queen, states
that "Davilla asserts, in the most posi-
tive terms, that the queen of Navarro
was poisoned. The deadly dose was
administered, it was reported, in the
trimming of a pair of gloves, bat in
manner so imperceptible and in SO
nice a proportion that after having
worn them for only few days the
queen mother was seized with vio-
lent fever, which put an end to her
life in five days"
When news of the death of the queen
mother reached the Huguenots, whose
cause Queen Jane had espoused they
instantly made the charge of foul play,
and the king, cognizant of the fact
that the poison had left no traces, or
dered the body to be publicly exam
ined. Historians whose accounts are
accepted as authoritative declare that
the two persons who examined the
queens body We're not permitted to
touch her head, where it was supposed
that traces of the poison were. still Wis
ible and D'Aubigne makes no secret
Of the statement that the queen was
murdered though he is rather vague
as to the means used.
During her entire life Queen Jane
had been subject to violent head
aches, attended by an extreme itch
ing sensation, and repeatedly ex-
pressed the wish that the cause of
this malady might be looked into,
with the intention of relieving her
children If they should be subject to
the same disorder This may have
explained the reluctance of the king
to permit an examination of the head
of the queen mother, though popular
opinion at the time lays it to fear of
the discovery of the poison used to
hasten the death of strong-minded
woman who was extremely antagon.
istic to many of the ruling Catholic
families of Europe.
In spite OF the death of Queen Jane,
the royal nuptials were celebrated at
the cathedral Of Notre Dame, Margaret
of Navarro being in the full bloom of
Der youth, and just at the completion
of her twentieth year, inheriting the
full charm of her grandmother, Mar
garet of Valois, the mother of the
queen, whose death is attributed to
the pair of poisoned gloves. Apart
from the unusual instrument supposed
to have been used in this case, mystery
also surrounds the type of poison used,
for there is no chemical known to sci
ence which would produce death
without a trace merely by application
to the outside of the skin, and the
tragedy took place several centuries
before the discovery of the existence
of bacteria-though the Borgias are
commonly credited with having known
more about some types of poisons and
germs than even the scientists of mod
ern times.

"THE RIDDLE OF THE POISONED
GLOVES"

THE author of even the most SEN
\ sational type of detective stories
would probably balk at introducing
into his fictional romances the means
of murder generally supposed to have
been used to accomplish the death of
Jane, queen of Navarro, for here was
an instrument of death worthy of the
Borgias-a pair of poisoned gloves
which left not the slightest trace of
their deadly purpose.
Just previous to her death, the queen
came to Paris to attend the ceremonies
connected with the marriage of her son,
the prince of Navarro, to Margaret.
sister of the French king. While en-
gagged with preparations for the ap-
preaching ceremony, Queen Jane was
overtaken with a malignant fever
which ended her life after an illness
OF only five days, and Nathaniel Wrax-
well, in his Memories of the Kings
of France" writes: "The Multitude,
ever disposed to attribute the death
of great personages to unnatural
causes, held to the belief that poison
had been used in this case. A per-
fumer named Rane who had followed
the queen mother from Florence, of
which place he was a native, was ac-
cused as the author Of the crime, and
If is stated that he even avowed him
self as such, and boasted of it pub
licly-declaring that those who had
instigated the crime would protect him
from punishment.
Some perfumed gloves, which Queen
Jane had purchased from this Floren-
tine, are generally credited with hav-
ing been the medium through which

ID EPUBLICAN control of congress
N was almost swept away in the
Democratic landslide at the election
on November z. According to the re-
turns at this writing, the G. O. 2. in
the next congress will have So sena-
tors, compared with so now, and the
Democrats will have ~ compared
with SO now. Doctor Shipstead, who
defeated Senator Kellogg in Mime
sofa, represents the Farmer-Labor
party.
The lower house of the Sixty-eighth
congress- win be composed of 225 Re
publicans, 207 Democrats, one Social
list. one Independent and one Farmer
Labor member. If these figures are
not changed by the revised returns,
the Republicans will have majority
over all of 10.
Nine senate seats were lost by the
Republicans, by the defeat of Sena-
tors Dupont in Delaware, France in
Maryland, Townsend In Michigan,
Kellogg in Minnesota, Frelinghuysen
In New Jersey, Calder in New York,
Poindexter in Washington, and Suth-
erland in West Virginia, and of Albert
J. Beveridge in Indiana. The Demo
Gratis lost two seats through the down
fall of Senators Hitchcock in Nebras-
ka and Pomerene in Ohio.
Among the outstanding results of
the election was the great victory of
Al Smith in New York. He defeated
Miller for the governorship, which he
once before held, by plurality of
more than 100000. This makes him a
logical possibility for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency in 1924,
and already his enthusiastic admirers
are booming him for that honor. One
possible rival, Senator Pomerene, is
removed by his defeat for reelection
by Tess, Republican, but it is likely
Cox will want to try again. Another
man who may be put forward by the
Democrats is S. M. Ralston of Indiana,
who defeated Beveridge for the senate
and who is very popular among the
Hoosiers.
Necessarily the election has it's eff
fects, also, on Republican presiden-
tiaI probabilities. Some politicians in
Washington think President Harding
will not seek another nomination be-
cause the great reverses sustained by
his party are interpreted as the ex-
preston of dissatisfaction with his
administration. However, if he should
wish to lead the ticket again, two
likely contenders for the place are
now out Of it-Beveridge of Indiana
and Miller of New York. But there
are other strong Republican POSSIBLE
titles. Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia was returned with a big plural
ity; Clifford Pinchot won the COVER
norship Of Pennsylvania by 255,000
plurality; and Senator Pepper of
Pennsylvania easily won reelection.
Any one of these may reasonably ask
the presidential nomination, and So
too, might Governor Allen of Kansas.
There is some talk even of Senator
Mccormick of Illinois as the choice
of the progressive Republicans; and
Jim Watson, now restored as the boss

of his party in Indiana, might get am
bilious and offer himself. His fol
lowers, as well as those of Senator
New, are accused of having knitted
Beyeridge at the polls, and the charge
seems to be true, as Republican CON
gressmen were elected in nine of the
thirteen Indiana districts.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
Just managed to weather the storm.
His plurality over CASTOR was about
8,O00-a fourth of what it was in
1916. w. N. Ferris, who defeated
Senator Townsend in Michigan, an
nounces that his first effort when he
gets to washington will be to unseat
Senator Newberry.
Irrespective of partisan feeling,
there will be widespread regret over
the defeat of Senators Kellogg of
Minnesota and Poindexter Of Wash
ington, FOR both have proved them
selves able, honest and Industrious
servants of the people. The same
may be said for Hitchcock of Nebras-
ka. Senator James A. Reed Of Mis-
souri,, who was repudiated by his
party two years ago, goes back for a
third term with majority Of $4,000.
Shortly before the election former
President Wilson wrote a letter say
ing that if Reed were returned to the
senate he would "of course be there
a man without a party"
