Thus far "fappers" haven't CLAP
ped" very much in Edgefeld. It is
well not to be abreast of the times
sometime.
The Apostle Paul wrote frequent
" Of the "bond and the free" but
certain it is that Edgefeld people are
more bonded than free.
Water, one of life's essentials, is

The reason most of us are having

sBetween the toll claimed by SWIM

nip and tuck in some sections as to

Now, If Henry Ford will call Linn
self a Democrat and not an Independ-
ent, he can put us down as one of his
campaign "rooters" for the Presiden-
cy in 1924.
"If every other mar in this town
were just like me, what kind of a
town would this town be-" Is this not
a pertinent question for every NAM
and woman, too?
In his candidacy for the Presiden-
cy, if Mr.. Ford can get the support
of all Ford owners and all who want
to be, he will have a sure passport to
the White House.
Edgefeld county polled 1,540
votes in the primary two years ago
and should poll $500 this year. How
ever, the number depends upon the
enrolment. Only those who enroll
can vote in the primary.
The individual who thinks no
more of the welfare of his country
than to be Indifferent about voting
is not as good citizen as he or she
should be. Measured by this standard,
are you a good citizen?
Blessed is the mar who has a

is a fine thing to store away some

In fact, a bank account is a mighty

How strangely they do things over

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 17.-ln spite

cratic leaders and many influential fc-
publlcans maintain tonight that con
hrmatlon by the Senate, next Monday

Is a certainty. Mr.. Nugent's nomina

publican member from Essex, succeed
cd IN having action deferred until next
week.
Leaders of both parties express doubt
that Senator Parry, a newcomer in
pol't'cs, can command sufficient sup
port to bring about the defeat Of Mr..
Nugcnt, who numbers among his per
sonal friends Just as many members
OF the opposite political faith as Of
n, ms own party. These Republicans
"hom Mr.. Nugent has considered
among his friends and for whom he
has done good turn or two in the
past are expected to come to the mark
when called upon to produce the six
hepuollcan votes required for confrma
ton. O''''' 1T"
Mr. Nugent's extreme stand as an op-
ponent of prohibition, and in particu
lar TO the Van Ness enforcement act.
PROVIDES sufficient justifica ton, Sena-
tor Parry believes, to deny him posi-
ton in which he would be called upon
TO enforce the Van Ness and other pro-
hibiton laws.
May Embarrass Republicans
II Senator Parry persists in his att
tude, 1T is said he will make the posi-
ton Of his colleagues in the Senate
embarrassing. Parrys persistence in
MS claim that Nugcnt is "personally
obnoxious can hardly be disrcgarded
by the Republicans in the Senate, who
probably would not care to be placed
IN the position of turning their backs
on member of their own party in the
interests of one Of the opposition.
Mr. Parry has received assurances Of
support from the Newark Federation
of Churches and other religious organi-
cations and pressure from these sources
will increase steadily until the Senate
meets next week. In the meantime
however, the friends Of Mr.. Nugent in
both parties will be active, in the hope
Of lining up the six votes needed.
Organized opposition to the con-
Grmation of the appointment of James
r. Nugent, Democratic boss of Newark,
as prosecutor of Essex County, is
under way as the result of the action
taken by the Federation of Churches
in Newark telegram was sent yes
terday addressed to Governor Edwards
and the Senate objecting to the ap-
polntment.
Three members of the federation

amendment compelling the Reserve
banks to ask Congressional consent for
instruction of banking houses, sought
to have the measure include a provi

Of per cent on all transactions. His
motion was defeated by a viva voce
vote, as was a proposition by Senator
McKellav, Democrat, of Tennessee, to
have defined notes. drafts and bills of
factors making advances exclusively to
farmers on products in their raw state.
This class Of paper previously has been
held ineligible for rediscounting by
Reserve banks, through an opinion OF
the Reserve Boards counsel.

The Alabama Senator charged that

planned to Senators against what nc
termed "the deflation policy which he
said the board had lnaugurated after

Senator Glass, resuming a speech be-
gun yesterday on proposed changes IN
the Federal reserve act which wouid
place a farmer on the Reserve Board,
said there was "absolutely no excuse"
for the barrage of attacks which had
been levelcd at the reserve system.
"Why not tell the farmer the truth
once?" queried the speaker. "Why in
sist on drawing the picture of defation
and credits as the monster which
brought reduced prices, not alone on
the farmers products, but on all COM
modties? Why not show that a lot Of
banks did not take advantage of the
resources of the reserve system and
thereby impaired and limited their
own ability to aid?"
Mr.. Glass declared that s"instead of
the nonsense" spread among the
farmers about how they had been vic
timized, the farmers should be told to
.organize" not to become the plaything
Of fanatics, but for intelligent re-
search, for cooperative marketing and
to investigate and meet the influences
which may affect the prices of their
products.

-Four Policemen TRAPPED
In a Booth by Lahev

Chief Inspector William ]. Lahey,
Of the Police Department, rode in a
limousine across the Manhattan Bridge
on the night of January T. one of the
coldest this year. He had been to
Brooklyn Headquarters and was hurry
ing to Manhattan Headquarters. As
the spacious car sped across the span
Lahey looked to the right and left; in
fact, he searched with his eyes the
entire bridge for member Of his COM
mand. He found none.
AS the big car approached a police
booth on the Manhattan side the
chiefs detective instincts were
aroused He ordered the chauffeur to
stop. Buttoning his heavy coat across
his chest, the chief inspector left the
car and walked several feet through
the cold to the booth. Three patrol
men and sergeant were already
crowded into the small shack. Lahey
entered.
Patroman John J. Sullivan told his
chief that it was his time to eat.
Patrolman Owen Curnyn said it was
his time to signal the precinct. Patrol
man Peter Malahan said that he, too,
was scheduled to report to the station.
Sergeant John O'Relly said he
dropped in to see what was doing.
The chief said he would make charge
against all. He did, and yesterday

Lockwood Committee to
Resume Work Tomorrow

A special investigation of the prac-
tees of the General Electric Company
as revealed before the Lockwood Hous-
ing Committee will be begun by the
Department of Justice this week, it
was announced by Attorney General
D"ughcrty in Washington yesterday
Mr. Daugherty explained that the
governments decision to step in was
o"sed on the charges of Samuel Inter
mn9er' chief counsel to the Lockwood
committee. that the General Electric
was an 'intolerable monopoly" and was
violating Federal laws.
The Lockwood committees claims.
W OF course said the Attorney General
were observed, and nasmuch as vio-
'ations OF the Federal laws arc charged,
ana after conference with the general
committee, we have decided to make
separate investigation. There has
neen spondencc publishd between
the General Electric Company and this
department, and l think some corrc-
sspondence between the company and
tne Attorney General of the State of
New York"
In connection with this correspond
cnce it is known that the General Elcc-
trlc Company, after the disclosures be-
tore the Lockwood committee last week
seht communication to the state and
fedcral prosecutors requesting an i'm
mediate investigation of Mr.. Inter
myers charges.
ut is charged" said Mr.. Daugherty
that the company has created and is
maintaining monopoly; that it has ex.
torted large sums of money from the
public by illegal sales methods; that il
has juggled its accounts to hide its
earnings and prevent paying full in.
come taxes, and that it has violated q
Federal court decree. The company
claims not to have violated any part OF
the decree, and claims its methods and
returns arc complete and in good faith
II have decided to cause an investi-
CATION of all these and incidental af
fairs connected with the General Elec
trio Company. think it fair that, these
charges having been made, we should
investigate. If there should be any
thing in them we shall very promptly
find out"
While the government inquiry will
be entirely separate from that of the
Lockwood committee, Mr.. Daughcrty
said that he would cooperate with the
latter to the fullest extent. Any cvi
dence in the hands of the states in

Weeks Sharply Rebukes
Ford for Criticisms
Charge That Action on Muscle

Declared Untrue

From The Tribunc's Washington BuYcou
WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Secretary
of War Weeks to-day issued a sharp
rejoinder to the criticism advanced by
Henry Ford against what the Detroit
manufacturer characterized as delays
i'll the War Departments consideration
of Ford's offer Tor the Muscle Shoals
water power project. In his reply Sec
rotary Weeks said, in part:
THE facts are that after Mr.. Ford
left my Office he sent his secretary to
me to say that he did not wish to make
any statement to the press, and asked
that make whatever statement seemed
necessary relating to our interview.
This | did within a very few minutes,
as representatives Of the press were
waiting in my Office. The statement in
effect, was that l proposed to transmit
Mr.. Ford's offer to Congress, the only
action / could take, as even Mr.. Ford
knows that | cannot sell real estate
without authority of Congress.
apparently By the time Mr. Ford
reached his hotel he had forgotten the
message he had sent me through his

icsm. regret that Mr.. Ford, by this
action. seems to have put himself in
the class of those who go to the press
with that kind Of sentiment rather than
saying it to the individual concerned
1t would have been easy for MIN to
have done so, as he had been talking
with me within half an hour and had
not sugge sted any such thought; neitn-
er has he or his representatives ever
made any complaint to me that was
unduly delaying action. If they had
done so, I could easily have demon
stratcd that there was no basis for the
