meeting.

We were glad indeed to hear last
week that the railroads are willnm
and ready to carry all Confederate
soldiers to the Fair at Columbia
free of charge and that they will
be admitted to the fair grounds by
their Crosses Of Honor. This is a
noble act on the part of those who
honor the old soldiers. We realize
that as the sunset Of life approaches
he thinks and talks Of "The War"
more than anything else, and it be-
hcovcs Us who are younger to listen.
Just a very few more years will be
left them and let us try to make
these years comfortable and happy
and show cur appreciation and fealty
to those who fought fer us and who
in the dark days Of reconstruction,
when the SouJherner was shut out
from all participation in nation
life, when he was regarded as 4
sheep to be shearcd for the profit
of the masters of the fold, and when
he was treated for long time as
an alien. These men are the last
of those whose brain, faith in truth,
in God and in themselves, at last
brought victory complete All honor
to the Confederate Veterans! May
they enjoy this trip to Columbia.

Says Prominent Man
The Long Branch Community Club
in P:ckens County staged another
one of its successful meetings in
August. This time the club was
honorcd by having as it's guest Dr..
&. B. Smith, Of Washington, D. c..
Chief of the Office of Extension
Work. Dr. Smith did not hesitate
to compliment the boys for the sue
cesstul work which they are doing.
The regular monthly program was
carried off in fine style, each mem
Der contributing his full support in
making it such. One by one the
boys told the condition of the corn
and pigs being grown under their
management. 1T was unanimous that
the ccrn club corn in The community
was better than other corn grown
side by side.
A striking feature Of this club
meeting WAS The presence Of fifteen

in our farming, but in everything
else, IS more system. That is why
the Ford automobile plant can turn

SCIENTISTS IN HAWAII
FIND ANCIENT SKULLS
May Explain Mystery of Ori-
gin of Island Race.

HONOLULU, i. H., Aug. 5.-Informa-
tion which may throw valuable light on
the mystery which surrounds the origin
OF the Hawaiian race was obtained in
explorations on the Ma Pail side of the
island Kauai by a party of scientists
under the direction OF DIR. III. L. Gregory
Of the Bishop Museum 1t was revealed
when the party returned here
The finest type OF terracing for agri-
culture in the Hawaiian Islands was
found in the valleys on Kauai and the
irrigation system displayed great engi-
neering skill on the part OF the early
Hawaiians who lived there. DIR. Gregory
said A prov OF an ancient outrigger
canoe was found in one Of the caves
high up on a cliff. The PROV contained
three skulls. which. on first examina-
tion, appeared to belong to some race
other han the Hawaiian. probably to a
race originating more TO the south. The
skulls may hold the secret of the origin
of the Hawaians, Dr. Gregory said.
According to ancient Hawaiian
legends the people of the Nualolo and
kalalau valleys--the scene OF the recent
exploratons-were the only ones in the
islands who were not mastered by
the archipelago into 4 kingdom. The
only entrances to the Isolated valleys are
up LADDERS or on narrow trails and il
was easy for the inhabitants to repel
attempted invasions.

The experience gained in issuing prop
asanda to turn public opinion against
the British during the Anglo-Irish war
stands the supporters of the Free State
IN good stead now. when the anti-treaty
i'arty is attempting to use the same
methods against them.
The weekly paper the Irish Free State,
edited by supporters OF the Government,
anticipates an attempt to make martyrs
out of the irregulars who were captured
in the Four Courts. The anti-treaty
party started the tale that the prisoners
in Mountjoy prison were being poorly
fed
In its reply the Free State prints the
'Mountjoy martyrs menu, and In de-
scribing the accommodations says there
are two martyrs 10 each CELL They

The ancient custom Of charivari led
to the tragic ending of a romance this
week. For more than week following
the marriage Of a wealthy Pyrenees
farmer and a young widow the residents
OF the district serenaded them nightly
But the newlyweds refused to give the
traditional purse of silver
Finally becoming exasperated the
farmer warned the unwelcome visitors
to keep away and when they paid no
attention TO him fired two shots into the
crowd, killing one youth and woundinG
another. When the police arrived they
found that the husband had committed
suicide. His young wife was beside his
body laughing Historically and physi-

Ancient Problem.

From time mmemorial the agrarian
problem has been the most important
ard the most perplexing in the penin-
snla. Conditions of climate, OF dry or
mountainous areas. alternating with
marshes. have complicated it, But from
the agricultural point of view the worst
complication has been the fact of polit-
ical competition for control of the coun-
try's farming system and workers which
has grown UP since the war.
The Socialist party was the first to
interest itself IN the peasant. beginning
sf least thirty years ago to dominate
the farm workers in the Po valley.
Hundreds Of collective farms which now
dot central Italy were the product of
Socialist teaching. Most of these grew
nl In natural fashion and have had
more or less success

The Italian farmer, who not so long
ago was a serf. is now the most inn
portant political element in the coun-
try. He got the vote in 1918, but it is
only since the war that he has come
to be the most courted of all groups.
dramatic proof OF this new posi-
tion is the fact that the Chamber Of
Deputies has just passed by a large
majority law calling for the appro-
priation by the Government of the
large uncultivated estates, putting
them into the hands of cooperatives of
farm workers. The measure is a
radical one, entailing the socializing
of any large tracts the Government
may decide and involving the expendi-
ture of at least 200. 0.o00,o0o lire.
The measure was supported by
the Popular (Catholic) party, the So
cialists and most of the other parties,
who desired to win the favor of the
farmers. And this measure is only the
last one of scores enacted by the Gov
ernment in the last few years for the
