Praise for Senator Dial.
eGreenville .Rews)-

tS1fSSHS1llC -tNSNSt-
The Augusta Chronicle believes
that Senator Dial IS. one of the
hardest working and most capable
men in the upper house Of con-
gress.'' .sHe works early and late
and is doing a, most constructive
work in behalf of the south ana
the. country" it adds. What The
Chronicle says about the junior
senator from this state has been
repeated many times by individuals
who have noted his steadily grow
ing influence and ability in the
senate. In Washington he is known
as an indefatigueable worker who
may. be found on the job all the
time. He is punetual in attend
ance and courteous to his eonst;t-
uents in anything that is asked Of
him. Senator Dial does. not pos
sess the unfortunate asflietion of
many senators in Washington. of
looking no farther; than his own
state. He thinks of his state first,
of course, but he has the nation
very close at heart. Soath Caro-
lima has rarely had a congressional
Representative who took as much
interest IN national affairs an1
could digest them as intellisently.
The people Of the state should feel
proud that they have SO capable a
man in the upper body.

Farmers Lose
Senator Smith Says Cotton is
Being Sold Below Cost Of

! With middling cotton bringing
( around twenty centssa pound the

/ United States Senator E. D..:Smith,
South Carolina, declared at, Flor

| The figures show that the average

will amount to, "a to 25 cents "a

( is grown in the, great cotton pro-
lducing belt. The figures are. as
astonishing as they are alarming
Ideclared Senator Smith.
Therefore, at the present for
naiddling cotton, the cotton pro-
duced in South Carolina. and sold
at present prices is. according to
tthe departments own figures, sold
below the cost of production for the
reason that a large per cent Of cot

is from. three to four cents a
