confidence. enthusiasm-these simple vir-
tues of all great business are the ones
most lacking In government organization.
We have SO many checks and brakes
upon our work that our progress does
not keep pace with the nations require
ments. We could save money for the
government IL We had more discretion as
to how We should use that given us.
For the body of the civil servants there
should be quicker promotion or discharge
and sure insurance when disability
comes. For the higher administrative
officers uiere should be salaries twice a.
high as those now given. and they should
be made to feel that they are the ones
responsible for the work of the depart
ment. the head being merely an adviser
and constructor of policies.
As matters are now devised there are
too few In the government whose busi-
ness It is to plan Every man is held to,
detail. to the narrower view. which comes
too often to be the department view or
some sort of parochial view. We need
for the day that is here and upon US
men who have little to do but study tha
problems of the time and test their ca
pacity at meeting them. In word we
need more opportunity for planning en-
gineering. craftsmanship above, and more
nxed authority and responsibility below.
The employment methods of the gov
ernment could be improved. Under
the civil service law of 1888 a good
system Of competitive examinations
and appointments on merit has been
built up for the classes of positions
covered by the law. But beyond GER
tifcation by the civil service commits
sion for appointment of those appli-
cants who are proved by examination
to be eligible. the merit system is not
fully operative even in connection with
the positions to which 1t applies. Hap

no central authority has jurisdiction.

are discouraging to the workers. This

The readjustment of government

READ LANES DIAGNOSIS

In his final report to the President,
upon completing his work as secre-
tary of the interior, Franklin X. Lane
sketched with a sure hand out of the
abundance of his experience the pres
ent Washington condition:
The call is for thinking, planning, engi-
neering, statesmanship. For we are quick
ly passing out of the rough-and-ready
period of our national life, in which we
haye dealt wholesale with meG and
things, into a period of more Intensive
development, in which we must see.: to
find the special qualities OF the individual
unit, whether that unit be an acre of
desert, barrel of oil, a mountain
canyon, the flow of a river or the capac-
ity of the humblest of men.
ITO conquer and to master-the same
old task is ours; but not in the same old
way We have discovered this land and
made it ours. but this is not the end
OF journey, for now We are to give
thought, the deepest thought, to the ways
in which 1t may be made to yield most
abundantly in the things which COM
plex society with a most imperious Curl
osity demands.
Washington Is a combination OF politi-
cal caucus. drawing-room and civil serv-
Ice bureaus. 1t contains statesmen who
are politicians and politicians who are
not statesmen. 1t is rich in brains and
In character 1t is honest beyond any
commercial standard. 1t wishes to do
everything that will promote the public
good. But 1t is poorly organized for the
task that belongs to 1t. Fewer men Of
larger capacity would do the task better.
Ability is not lacking. but 1t 10 pressed
to the point OF paralysis because OF an
infnitude of details and an unwillingness
on the part OF the great body of public
servants to take responsibility Every

FARMERS ORGANIZE CLUB.
Regular Meetings Scheduled for Dis
cussion of Important Subjects.

Cedar Swamp, Feb. 22.-Just about
a month ago eighteen farmers Of this
immediate community were invited to
dine at the home Of a fellow farmer,
and also added to this number were
our farm and home demonstration
agents, the Red Cross secretary and
the vocational teacher of this county.
After dinner, (truly it was an en-
icyable dinner, for pure bred Durocks
borbecued appeals to the taste of the
most fastidious) at the suggestion of
Mr.. Cathcart the men organized a
community club to meet at the school
building at regularly appointed times
to hear subjects discussed, and to
ask questions and receive all the in
formation that can be had concern
ing matters of vital Importance to
them just now. Miss McMurray very
fittingly suggested that the ladies
meet at the same time and place, and
talk about matters OF interest to them.
We have had two very interesting
meetings since the club organized
with both men and women present.
At the last meeting, sweet potatoes,
preparing seed beds, fertilizing the
first planting from which You expect
to get the vines for planting the mar
ket crops, cucumber planting for
market, beans for market, Grating
and packing, instructions to the pro-
ducer before shipping, etc. We have
NO plungers, but rather conservative
and experienced planters interested
in this new industry.
The ladies will have very enter
tanning subject for the next meeting,
and all who are interested in poultry
raising, home gardening and where
they can find the best market for the
sale of anything raised on the farm
will do we'll to be present at the next
meeting.

FURNITURE STOCK
SOLD AT AUCTION
SALE ATTRACTS MANY BIDDERS
STOCK AND OTHER ASSETS
PURCHASED BY s. ]. DEERY.

The public sale to attract most at
tention. here in many years was that
or Tuesday of the large stock Of the
Kingstree Furniture Company, in
cluding office fixtures and accounts.
The sale was made under bankrupt
proceedings by order of Referee r.
J. Kirk. Mr.. L. D. Rodgers being trus-
tee, conducted the sale, which took
place at noon in the Central Ware
house where the stock of the bank
rupt company was located.
The sale was attended by large
representation of local citizens and
furniture dealers Of more or less
prominence from various parts of the
country, number from outside this
state.
Pursuant to the order of the court
the assets of the company were sold
separately, the first to come under
the hammer was the office fixtures
and accounts which were knocked
down to the highest bidder for 81
225.00. The stock of furniture was
sold in nine separate lots, one lot
consisting Of SECOND hand furniture
that had been reclaimed by the COM
pany. The total amount bid for the
nine lots amounted to only $2,s70.0o.
Immediately following this sale the
entire stock, office fixtures and &C
counts were offered as a whole and
bidding took on a lively attitude.
Starting at $4,195 the bidding was
fast and spirited until it reached the
sum Of s12,350 at which it was finally
knocked down to Leroy Lee, ESD,
fer his client, Mr.. s. ]. Deery.
It is probable that the salesroom
oe the Kingstree Furniture Company,
which has been closed for some weeks
will reopen for business in the next
few days.

Young Man Shot.

A young white man was brought
to the Kelley Sanitarium here Tues
day night suffering from a gunshot
wound in his side and inflicted, it is
alleged, by Bush Brown, a negro man.
The trouble, it appears, is the out
growth of an overload Of bad booze,
which it is said the white men had
OIL. The shooting occurred in the
Fowler community about five miles
east Of town.
Dewitt McCutchen, the young man
who was shot is son Of Mr.. Thos.
McCutchen of that neighborhood. He
was accompanied by brother and a
relative of the same name. Sheriff
Gamble went to the scene of the shoot
ing Tuesday night and placing Bush
Brown under arrest, brought him to
Kingstree and lodged him in jail.
There is evidence of much shooting
around the negro's house, and he
claims that the white men were
shooting up his house, and that he
shot in protection of his home. He
made no effort to escape.
The young man in the hospital is
il. serious, though not necessarily
critical condition.

include so many great players that In
this respect II will be second only ,I
the national championships.
Neer is going back TO stanford to

He has decided that TO be a cham

will drop basketball and football.
