The Girl OF Cheer.

If things go wrong, she don't complain
Just tries to see the joke.
She's always finding little ways
OF helping other folk.
She sees the good in everyone,
Their faults she never mentions;
She has lot of confidence
In peoples good intentions.
No matter if the sky is gray,
You get her point of view.
The clouds begin to scatter
And the sun comes breaking through
You'll know her if you meet her,
And you'll find it worth your while
To cultivate the friendship of
The girl behind the smile.

The Revival Services.

Great interest is being taken in the
preparation for the Revival Services
to begin at the Methodist Church on
next Sunday. The hours for service
during the week will be 1O:3O A. NJ.
and P. NJ. The morning service will
last just one hour. The evening ser
vice will last about one hour also.
The excellent Choir of the Metho-
dist Church will be assisted by sever
al of the best singers in town and BY
a Junior Choir which is being organ
lied for the occasion. The Pastor,
DR.. Watson B. Duncan, takes the posi-
ton that a Revival, in whatever
Church it is held, should be blessing
TO the entire community. Otherwise
it should not be held at all. He is
making an earnest appeal to all good
people of the community to help make
the meeting a general blessing.

Civic League Notes.

On Friday afternoon, March oath
the Civic League held its first meet
ing since the election of new officers.
The retiring officials should be tender
ed vote Of thanks by the town, for
two years of exceptionally fine work.
Mrs. L. A. Kerr, who was unani-
mously chosen president, has many
plans for needed Improvements. In
carrying these to completion she will
be efficiently supported by Mrs. Ernest
Duvall, vice president, Mrs. Henry
Whnnamaker, secretary and Mrs. R. R.
Hickson, treasurer.
The town authorities are to be COM
mended for the fine spirit of coopera-
tion they are displaying in civic ser
vice. A light has been placed in front
of the school building where it was
greatly needed, and another has been
promised.
Next week, the first week in April,
is Cleanup Week. The town truck
will be available for hauling off re-
suits, if said results are placed on or
near the street-not later than the
first week in April. Everybody is
expected to help in making Cheraw a
healthy town, by removing from their
premises all homes for disease bread
ing germs and mosquitoes.
A railing has been placed around
the Green, and painted-this for the
safe guarding Of shrubbery planted
there. But alas! The railing cannot
fence out the papers that year by year
continue to gambol at their own
sweet will over Green and adjacent
streets.
Would it be unreasonable on the
part of the League, to ask those who
are responsible for the generous and
impartial distribution of these papers,
to follow the example Of the Cheraw
Hardware Store, and confine all waste
and unsightly debris in pen or box
at the rear of buildings instead Of the
front? They can be just as easily re-
moved from that location, and the
business section of the town would
then make us glad instead of sad " hen
our visiting friends accidentally catch
a glimpse of it on Sunday afternoons.
The Library is growing steadily in
interest, number of books and subscri-
bers, having considerably over num-
dred members, who are promptly ON
hand every Saturday afternoon.
A deeply interested committee is
working out a plan for a beautiful
memorial to our boys who lost their
lives in the World War. 1t is to be
hoped their plan will soon crystalize
into a certainty, and that this memo
rial so earnestly desired by all our
people may be delayed no longer.

Harding could not control the House
on the bonus proposition; the men,
bers of that body have to answer to the
voters in November. The President
can only control the House when he
asks it to do something which the peo-
pie desire President Wilson was call
ed a dictator when he put one meri-
torious measure after another through
a willing Congress, cooperating with
him day after day for six years, until
the Republicans got control of the
House. Then Wilson said: "Those
who call me dictator should wait
until propose to Congress something
opposed to the interests of the people.
Then they will realize how little pow

Fringed tweed skirts, worn very
short, are being seen about town, In
the very bright colors of checks and
plaids.
A great many pearl gray hats are
seen in both the straw and felt,
trimmed in ostrich, ribbon and POM
pom Of feathers.
Red heels are seen more and more
on the avenue.
More of the green tones in hats
are being seen, but II is more on
the reseda and the apple green tones
than the Kelly green.
Worn by young girl was comb
Of bright red novelty feathers in fan
effect. This was very large and
worn low at the side. With 1t was
worn a dance frock of red chiffon.
At Pierre's dining on a recent
evening an unusually number Of
smartly gowned women were pres
ent, and green, black and white pre-
dominated. The green dresses were
usually of jade, in velvet or satin,
very simple, one having only sun
ray effect of diamente trimming on
one shoulder and one hip.
The younger set are wearing most
simple robe de chemise type of
frock, with an allover beading in
unnoticeable pattern and a narrow
girdle of beads at the natural waist
line.
A type of black frock seen at both
Pierre's and the opera had a plain
skirt, the waist bloused with bateau
neckline and no sleeves, and span
gled with small silver spangles
sewed on with crossed black stitches.
Beige footwear and stockings are
prominent.
A variety of tweed hats, developed
in the same material as the suit,
trimmed in flowers. feathers or cher
ries are noticeable.
Mimosa and red are the favored
shades for evening.
Hats, very large and turned up In
front are popular.
Skirts are ankle length except
when worn by dancers.
At the Plantation plain black
Canton dinner dresses of sleeveless
mode predominated.
A black dress had the bodice eun-
broidered in morning glories and
two rows OF this trimming embel-
lished the skirt.

POLITICAL GOSSIP FROM
THE NATIONS CAPITAL

Washington, D. c., March 25.-The
House has at last passed another
bonus bill though almost identical. in
form with the one passed two years
ago and which the Senate laid on the
shelf at Harding's request. 1t remains
to be seen what will be done with the
present bill, with all Of Wall Street
opposing it. The bill itself is satis-
factory to no one. The soldier whose
adjusted compensation" entities him
to less than $50 can get it in cash;
the others have to take a certificate
of Indebtedness which finally becomes
due in 20 years. Meanwhile, if he
wants to get money, he has to borrow
it at bank and pay larger rate OF
interest than the certificate bears,
though the certificate is as much the OBJ
legation of the government as is a
Liberty Bond and should entitle the
owner to the lowest rate Of interest
at which money can be borrowed. 1t
is difficult to understand why the SOL
dier should be allowed to borrow only
so per cent of the face value of the
certificate; almost any bank will lend
10 per cent of the market value of
certificate of stock in a railroad or
industrial corporation if the stock is
listed on the New York Stock EX-
change, though these stocks at times
luctuate wildly, and, of course, have
much less stable value than the OBJ
legation of the United States IO' 'srn:
ment.

The Republicans made a great deal
of noise, about year ago, over the
question of reorganizing the Govern
mental Departments, cutting out much
duplication of work and thus saving
the taxpayers many millions of dol
lars. A most excellent Congressional
Commission was made up for the
work, but some time ago the Presl-
dent insisted that he be allowed to
place a personal representative on
this Commission, a suggestion which
was opposed by the two Democratic
members, Senator Harrison of Missi-
ssippii and Representative r. Walton
of Virginia. Nevertheless, the Presi-
dent appointed Walter E. Brown of
Ohio, and the Commission made him
chairman. Up to that time the Com
mission was making excellent progress
and gave promise of saving many mil
lions, but Brown served as an anaes-
thetic of the most powerful sort and
the suspicion is very strong that this
was the purpose of his appointment.
Since that time there has been abso-
lutely nothing done; reorganization
is chloroformed. No meetings are
being held and work is at a standstill.
Thus the administration escapes two
embarrassmeents many hundreds of
jobs are saved to the party and a
number of inter-deparUmental wrang-
les are hushed up. Agriculture and
Interior were ready to fly at each
others throats over the question of
which should control the Forest Ser
vice; Interior and Commerce were at
daggers points over Alaska; Treas
ury and Justice both striving to get
control over prohibition enforcement;
Commerce and Agriculturs divided

"All things are pleasing to him. A
circus or funeral is equally enjoy
able, but a protracted meeting follow
ed by a big baptising, or term of
circuit court followed by public
hanging, is his chiefest delight.
Whenever a negro tires of country
life he moves to town, acquires char
coal bucket and tailor's goose, forms
an alliance with some white mans
cook, and with his living thus assured
opens a cleaning and pressing estab-
lishment. He then goes out Monday
morning and gathers in the Sunday
clothes of the white clerks of town,
and after wearing them himself every
night during the week, he gets up Sat
urday morning and treats them to u
gasoline bath, fiatens them out with a
red-hot iron and rushes them home
to their owners, so that they may
wear them Sunday; collects $l.50 for
his services in their behalf and goes
on his way rejoicing. But should
there be any special occasion in town
on Saturday night which he wishes to
attend he holds back the best suit that
he happens to have on hand and
wears it to that, and carries it home
Sunday morning if he wakes up in
time; otherwise its owner can lay in
bed over Sunday, and he will bring it
back sometime the following Monday.
"If perchance his fancy does not
run to cleaning clothes, he gets him.
self a gasoline stove and other para
phernalia wherewith to defeat the
vagrant statute, and sets up a lunch
counter, where he serves all such as
care to come his way, irrespective OF
race, color or previous conditions OF
servitude, with hamburgerS, hot cat
fish and beef sausage, and sometimes
sweet spirits of fermenti on the side.
But should neither of the locations
appeal to him, he usually opens a col
ored barber shop with poolroon
crap table in the rear.
"As soon as the city authorities be-
come obnoxious to him, however, he
again goes back to the quiet country
life, usually right after the Christmas
holidays and joins himself TO cotton
planter, and by his certain written con
tract duly executed in duplicate, OBJ

There can be no question
where the responsibility for the
conscienceless robbery to which
the American people are to be
exposed lies. Only three demo-
cratic votes were in the senate
for this brazen iniquity. Only
three republican votes were cast
against it. 1t is a republican
measure and has passed under

AN INDISPENSABLE TARIFF

The Washington correspond
ent of the New York World
gives the following estimates
made, he says, by treasury and
customs authorities of what cer-
tain of the new tariff schedules
as passed by the senate will cost
the American public:
Cotton manufacturers $685.
100000.
Wool manufacturers $685., 000,-
600.
Silk manufacturers $l5O,OO0,-
900.
Clothing $6OO,O0o,OOO.
Sugar, $3.50, 100000.
Cutlery and hardware $780,
100000.
Chinaware $12,0OO,0OO.
There IS scarcely a necessity Of
Life which will not rise in price
as a result of this outrageous
tariff. Women will have to pay
it, it is said by experts, from
$3.50 to $3.50 more per pair for
leather gloves and there will be
similar increases in the price OF
gloves Of all sorts. Wool suits,
especially of the rougher grades,
worn by men of small means, are
due to 60 up SIS or more a suit
on an average. The price of
sugar will be boosted from seven
cents up to ten cents or more
almost certainly more. The
woman who goes to market must
have substantially increased
allowance or set a very much
poorer table.
Outside Of the halls of con-
gress no responsible voice has
been raised in defense of this
monstrous measure. The two
leading Republican newspapers
of the country are probably the
New York Herald and the New
York Tribune. The Herald says
that the schedules Of the Ford
ney-McC umber bill s'by shutting
ont foreign competition utterly,
leave the consumer ct the mercy
Of price-fixing manufacturers. /"

Promises to Cooperate in Getting Coal Distributed
HAS TWO MEN IN MIND
Declines to Say Whom He Will Apk point. But Will Make Announce ment After He Has Consulted With Prospective Aides.

Hartford. July Ex-Governor Ever cit J. Lake said today that he had received a telegram from Chairman Hoover of the United States govern ment coal control committee asking the cooperation of the state govern ment in arranging for the equitable distribution of coal in Connecticut. Al noon the governor authorized the fol- lowing statement:
 The governor will do all in his power to assist the federal govern ment in obtaining equitable dstribu- tion of coal in the state.'
 Has Two In Mind.
 The governor stated that he was awaiting conferences with two men and could make no further statement until after those conferences. He de- clined to name the men he had in mind and stated that he did not know just when the conferences would take place.
 Although no specific request to that effect had been received 1t is under stood that this may lead to the ap- pointment of committees similar to those which were in operation during the war.

VARDAMAN REPLIES
 TO WILSON'S CHARGES
Mississippi Candidate for Senate, in 1900 Word Statement, Says No
 Advice Is Needed By Voters.

Jackson, Miss July 27.-Aroused by criticism of his candidacy for the C. s. senate contained in a letter of former President Wilson former Sen ator James K. Nardaman issued a 1900 word statement today in which he Said he did not believe Mississip- plans need to be told by MT. Wilson for whom they shall vote.
 Mir. Wilson's letter contains the as- sertion that he thought that 1t would be a great detriment to Miss issippi if he tVardaman) were re- turned to the senate" The former senator said;
 T can only assume that his oppo- sition is for the same reason that he opposed me in 1918. He then said in discussing the question that he would be obliged to accept my election as a condemnation of my (his) administration
 MT. Vardaman said Mir. Wilson's opposition is founded upon the fact that T performed my duties as sen- ator with the intention of pleasing end serving the white people Of Miss iss.7pi and not please or flatter the occupants of the White House.
