 An old voter in Marshall county has Host his candy" an old saying. l, along with many others, were for MeAdoo for president, but now we don't know where we stand. Knowing MT. Underwood's inclination towards monopoly and corpo- rations, and as we feel through his friends in our state have tried so hard to belittle MT. McAdoo that many don't feel as kindly toward him as even at first. I think him honest as to prohibit tion as it stands. True he fought it and voted against it, but since it's the law, to his credit he has stood by it. Even with all this many of our people are not enthused over his name. But I for one don't hardly know who we are for now. We read and reread all MT. McAdoo said of his connection with Doheny and his Teapot commpany, and he did nothing any reputable lawyer might not have done, even though his opponents have magnified it to the skies. But still l never think of it but what the story of old Fray and the terrible whipping he got for keeping bad company. feel that the Teapot Dome and the way its been managed by the Republicans will furnish much argument for public speak CTS, and there is the stumbling block. How can we, if he is nominated, get around the fact that our party has taken up one of their dome corporation law yers as our standard bearer?

 Certainly MT. Underwood himself would be the first to condemn the mis- guided efforts of those who would seek to elevate him by disparaging MT. Mo Adoo, or any otker eminent opponent. MT. Underwood has been guilty of no such attacks on the integrity of any other worthy contestant for presidential hon Ofs, not even Republicans. MT. Under wood should be Alabama's first choice, for his statesmanlike ability has been demonstrated through long and con- structive period of public service. He has done much for the benefit of the people of his own state, and of the na- tion Ed. Age Herald

ing the record of the race; and DR..
S. C.. Mitchell. Of Richmond Uni

sion
This convocation of persons inter
ested in the scientific study OF the
Negro brings to close the work OIL
an unusually successful year. There
has been no@9arge increase in the
income of the society, but the investi
gators at work have been able to
accomplish more than ever before in
the History of the society. A status
tical report on the Free Negro IS
now being published to show who
these people were, where they were
residing, how many of them lived IN
the respective. family groups, and
what relation they sustained to their
white neighbors. Another interest
ing and valuable work. ''The Negro
in South Carolina during the Recon
struction, by Mr.. A. A. Taylor, is
also being published. This is the
first definite history of tine Negro
during this period written by an ed
udated Negro himself, and 1t Will
doubtless elicit a prolonged discus
sion.
Besides this research effort, the
Association publishes quarterly the
Journal of Negro History, edited
from its beginning by DR.. Carter G.
W1oodson; the founder of the Asso
citation. This scientific review reaches
centers of thought not only in the
United States, but in countries OF
South America, Europe, Asia, and
Africa, having been placed in hun
dreds of public and college Libraries.
fAmong it's subscribers are practically
all of the accredited institutions of
learning in this country. Fifty OF
these are white colleges and unlver
stiles of the South, where the publ
cation is used by advanced students
of history and sociology. This mag
azine makes its appeal by scient1fi
carly setting forth facts on the pre-
sumption that facts will speak for
themselves.
Endeavoring to be of assistance in
assuring the continuance of this
work a number of prominent persons
have become life members Of the AS
sociatlon paying fifty dollars each.
Seventeen prominent Negroes still
more interested in the promotion OF
fhis cause have. pledged themselves
to contribute 500 each to the sup
port of the work.
Such pledges have already been
redeemed by Mr.. F. e. DeFrantz,

FLEW INTO HISTORY.
PITY A SAD "ARISTOCRAT."
THE DAYS BEST NEWS.
PERSHING AND GRATITUDE.

The flight around the world is
over, and six young Americans will
live in history when everybody con-
nected with this Presidential cam
paign is completely forgotten.
History will forever record, if
only in two lines, the dates and
names connected with the first hu-
man fight around the world.
Birds did it long ago, but they
are only birds.
That the nation which invented
the flying machine should be the
first nation to send a flying ma
chine around the world seems ap-
propriate. More appropriate would
be adequate flying machine defense
for this country.
Mr.. Granville L. Winthrop, pleas
antly described by the social re-
porter as wealthy, retired
banker, philanthropist and ARTS
TOCRAT,">,is under the care Of
two doctors. His two daughters
clipped, one with a chauffeur, the
other with a young electrician.
For "retired aristocrat" to re-
ceive such blow is painful, but in
his sorrow there is warning and
comfort for other wealthy, retired
American artistocrats.
One of the daughters was thirty
one years of age; she and her sister,
twenty-fcur, had been kept Sc
Guided.
Beware how you keep daughters
too secluded, especially after thirty,
and MORE especially if they are
rich in their own right, as are
these two Young women!
That's the warning.
The comfort is this: The Win
t'.-op family. to which the ere
'.r;t AriSgocrat" belong, may find
rseir improved, its energies
increased and its life On earth
prolonged by the addition OF q
chauffeur and an electrician to the
family lineage.

for the future ages is this. DR..
DAILY, senior professor of chemistry
in the University of Liverpool, says
he can manufacture sugar out Of
plain water and carbon dioxide.
That's how nature manufactures it
in plants, through the green leaves.
It is a deep process, first making
formaldehy:le Of the carbon diox-
ide and water, then applying ultra
violet ight--a color invisible to our
eyes-to make the sugar.
Il science can initiate plants on
a big scale, manufacturing sugar
and protein from carbon dioxide in
the air, and the water in the ground,
one food problem will be solved.
However, don't be in hurry TO
sell your Cuban sugar plantation.

Distinguished gentlemen gave a
dinner to General Pershing in New
York. 1t was nice dinner. Gen.
eral Pershing's share must have
cost sixty cents in the market and
nine dollars delivered on the table.
AS a dinner, it was a success.
But as a reward for general that
commanded three million American
soldiers in the big war, after serv-
icg faithfully for many years be-
tore that, it was not much. General
Pershing is now retired on salary
big enough to get him small fiat
in a cheap quarter.
The English do it differently.
Their Imperial Government made
their General Hague an Earl, and
gave him a million dollars.
Of course, this country isn't rich
enough to afford anything like
THAT, but it might do SOME
THING.
