WASHINGTON, March 2o-Fa- nous among his colleagues, who have dined with him in his Wash ington horne on Euclid Street, are Sen. Ellison D. Smiths South Caro- lima hams and sausage.
 Cured to perfection, with an art peculiar to Southern plantations, these two articles of food never fail to delight the Senatorial palate and bring forth praise and queries.
 They come from the Senator's plantation just outside Lynchburg, S. c. And they are prepared by the pride of the Smith family Miss Anna Bunson, an aunt. 8z years old, and the supervisors of Senator Smiths plantation while he is in Washington.
 For B years she has been the head of the Smith home. And now. despite her advanced age, continues to supervise the management of the Senator's large plantation in de- cidodly efficient and forceful man ner.

Balfour," but he went on until he began to display the milder side of his character. He evolved the plan of compulsory land purchase for the tenant farmers, whose rebellion had been the outcome of many years If rack renting and absentee land lordism and he introduced q system Of light railroads to assist them in dlgposing of their produce.
 A short period Of qa,-t work as First Lord of the Treasugy ensued and then Balfour retired from of flee with his party in 1882, remain ing on the Opposition benches un- Stil 1895.
 Prevents Var
 An action which did much to
 strengthen the friendly feeling of the United States for the British was attributed to Balfour durinc his next term of office. As First Lord of the Treasury he was tenn porarily taking the place of Lord Salisbury at the Foreign Office when the Cuban crisis arose in 1898. Certain European wers proposed to intervene at Washing ton in behalf Of the right of Spain to govern her colonies in her own way. Britain was approached, but Balfour did not fall in with the plan and notified Washington that Britain would not adopt any policy which might be construed as un- friendly to the United States. This action brought the whole scheme to naught and probably had the effect of preventing great war.
 For ten years consecutively the Conservative party remained in power until 1905. Tn the interval, after Salisbury's death. Balfour had succeeded to the position of Pre- mier, in 1902. In 1905, the ques- tion of tariffs rang the death- knell Of the Tory administration and brought about the temporary eclipse of Balfour but the next year, 19O6, he was elected a member of parliament from the City of Lon- don and served mainly in that ca pacity until the outbreak of the great war in 1914 again brought his abilities as an administrator into recognition. Since 1891, he had served as chancellor of Edinburgh University until, in l91o. he became chancellor of Cambridge.
 The former Prime Minister was an ardent golfer. bicyclist, notorist and tennis player He was fond of travel and once made a tour of the world Author of a number of books, mostly on philosophy, he wrote one volume on Golf" The others, included "A Defense of Phil o5cphic Doubt" (197e); IFS avs and Addresses" d693); The Founda- tions of Belief QS95); Reflections Suggested by the New Theory of 190D; Criticism and Beauty" q9O9); "Theism and Hu- manism," G914).
