BUSINESS MEN NEEDED
Senate of United States Has Plenty of
Fine Takers.

Writing to The Fort Mill Times
from Washington, where he Is now
making his home, Zach Spratt, Fort
Mill man, expresses the following
opinions relative to the sort of men
needed in the United States senate:
"The senate of the United States is
well supplied with excellent speak
ers. who never have an audience.
There seems to be a lack of construc-
tive action and leadership.
South Carolina needs the services
of level headed business man to rep
resent her in the United States SEN
ate.
Senator Dial has been successful
in the cotton mill business and other
business enterprises. His council, in
committee, will be needed. He should
be reelected"
Along with his letter to The Times
Mr.. Spratt sends the following clip
ping from the Washington Times of
last. Thursday:
IAN advantage which England
possesses over this country is that she
has a Parliament of business men,
while we have congress of lawyers
Lawyers by their training and eX-
periencc arc too likely to be obstruc-
tionists, devotees of precedent, wor-
shippers Of the past. Lawyers are not
to be depended upon to supply leader
ship in a changing progressive world
where the past must he put behind
and new precedcnts must be made.
This is business country. II
ought to have Il business congress
1t will he a great thing for America
when our ablest business men fee
an obligation to devote to the service
of their country the leisure afforded
them by their largo share of the coun-
try's prosperity.

GUIDE TO WATER
How They Locate Springs in the Des-
ert

How They Locate Springs in the Des-
ert.
In travelling over the plains of west
ern Texas one now and then comes
upon little isolated heaps of rock, in
twos, that at first glance seem not at
all remarkable.
After q time, however, one notices
that one heap is generally about three
feet high and the other about foot
lower. The two are always within Il
few feet of each other and usually on
an elevation or a plateau command
ing q view of the country for five
miles or more. The rocks are roughly
hcapcd together, rs if left by children
at play.
In time one learns the significance of
these rock heaps, as he talks with some
of the Indians, who know by heart all
tho legends and customs and deeds of
their people.
According to these Indians, when
the Great Spirit Tapped up the mighty
rivers Of the plains, he left springs
and water basins here and there for
the antelope and the Indians. These
the antelope easily found by scent,
but the Indian had to search long and
anXiously for them. Once found, they
were seldom lost, thanks to these rude
rock heaps.
You may see an Indian crouch down
behind the taller heap, sight over the
low one and mark the farthcst object
in a straight line, which is likely to
be a clump of bushes on the horizon
Then he rides toward these bushes
and tinds-not water, as he expected
but two other heaps of rocks.
Sighting as before, and taking a
rock faced cliff, perhaps toward the
southwest, as a goal, he rides a couple
of miles farther and there, tricking
out from beneath the cliffs rocky
brow, is Il spring of fresh, clear water
1t is said that whenever a band O
Indians came upon Il new spring the!
built the rock heaps along the trail
At any rate, it appears that tEes'
rude Signposts lead either to water o.
TO places that show traces of Il fOrmc
Monitor.

BLOW TO OLD GUARD
Defeat of McCumber Gives Important
chairmanships to Prosressives.

The defeat of Senator McCumber oi
North Dakota, in Wednesdays pri-
mary will make a deep dent in the
"Old Guard" control of the senate.
BY Mr.. McCumbers failure TO Sc
cure denomination, the two most i'm
portant committees in congress may
fall into the hands of ProgressiVes
within short period.
Through the operation of the sem
iority rule, Senator McCumber, veter-
an of twcnty-three years service in
the senate, Is chairman of the Finance
Committee and second in rank on the
Foreign Relations Committee. These
two committees in recent years have
come to be regarded as the most pow
erful in congress.
The craftsmanship Of the Finance
Committee will go to Senator Smoot
of Utah, who now occupies second
place, but there is no telling how long
Senator Smoot will remain in con-
gress. Persistent reports are in cir
culation that at no far distant date
Senator Smoot will be called to head
the Mormon church, summons which
he, as a devout member Of that de-
nomination, could not ignore.
1t is at this juncture that the sem
iority rule comes home to plague its
most devoted adherents. Next to
Senator Smoot in point of seniority
is Senator Robert M. La Toilette of
Wisconsin, who has just embarked on
a campaign of radicalism exceeding
anything IN his stormy career. If the
seniority rule is upheld Senator La
Toilette would become chairman of
the Finance Committee.
An equally disconcerting prospect
TO the "Old Guard" rises in connec-
ton with the succession of the For
elgn Relations committee. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican
leader in the senate, is chairman, and
Senator McCumber is second in COM
mand. Senator Borah of Idaho, is
third on the list. If anything should
happen to Lodge--death or defeat this
year-Senator Borah, under the senior
ity rule, would step into the chair
'nanship of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Another possibility growing out of
the elimination of "old- timers" and
the operation of the seniority rule is
that senator La Toilette may become
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee, which has charge of all
legislation relating to the railroads.
Considerable agitation has become
apparent recently in favor of the abo-
ltion of the seniority rule in the SEN
ate. Regulars" are torn between two
emotions-desirc to preserve the vcn-
cradle seniority rule, and fear of rad
ical domination.
