Mess Line

When Cotton" Ed Smith, and a
little band of staunch followers met
beneath the statue of Wade Hampton
to celebrate their victory, we wonder
what there was in common.
Wade Hampton, as defender of
South Carolina, had real menace to-
combat. For if ever there was state
submitted to misrule after the Civil
War, this state could vie with the best
of them.
Carpet baggers had ridden the citizen
ry, in some cases out of homes and
possessions, confiscated this worlds
goods in the name of righting great
wrong.
Hampton had been chosen to lead
the state out of the mire in which it
found itself in 1876, and he had the
staunch support of many substantial
Negroes as we'll as whites.
Cotton Ed came forth and waved,
perhaps for the last time, the bloody
shirt.
1t must have been interesting to have
lived in those days and nights when
the red shirts rode in South Carolina
Many Negroes on both sides were
misguided. The 'Red Shirts" in them
selves did not represent the horrible
abuses that were to follow their sue
cess at the polls.
According to the legends of the day,
some of the first of the group painted
their shirts the proper color.
Negroes who chose to be Democrats,
had to be furnished body guards by
the Democratic party, and yet it was
almost impossible to have party with
out them.
At the time, the census reports
showed 289,667 white; 4l5,8l4 Negroe.
Every unbiased historian of the present
date proves, conclusively, that some
Negroes were godsend to the state
during this period, although larger
number were all too eager to heed the
carpet bagger in his plea for Vengeance
and blood.
Persons of the Cotton Ed variety,
who still stalk the swamplands and
mountainsides, in behalf of long dead
issues, who attempt to raise the blood
lust in those who have long since
proved their need of decent wages and
housing; whose ragged half starved
children need schools and, training,
must make it extremely embarrassing
for those on the "othersde" like Wade
Hampton, love to see the progress OF
the state for which they did much, to
which they gave much. Cotton Id
Smith, and all his ilk, who have rid
den into political favor by reviving and
discoloring old issues that are now his
tory, cut the throats of those leaders
who followed the wake of the disaster
of the war between states, who would
no doubt have eventually brought the
South out of the rut, that makes new
deals, wages and hour bills, and no
the least, child labor laws necessary
Had it not been for the unconsciou:
aid given them by the post war schoo

WASHINGTON, July 12. - The sensational Senate lobby committee, which in it's three years of life has made more headlines than the Dionne quintuplets, is being llqui- dated and there is good opinion available that it will not be re- Vived.
 The barn-like office it has occu- pied on the bottom floor of the Senate office building is to be taken over by the Senate Civil LiD- critics Committee, which is still a going concern. The Lobby Commit tee is boxing and sacking It's voluminous files, and it's chief m- vestigator, Herbert Blomquist, lone survivor of battalion of investl- gators, is likely to be absorbed into some Government Department.
 Technically the committee lives on and it's chairman, Senator Min ton of Indiana, says he will re- new the effort early next session to get the money which he lost in the closing filibuster of the session just ended.

Senate Lobby Committee
 May Be Only Memory Soon

Burke of Nebraska in sort of comic opera conclusion to the 18th congress. During the filibuster sev- eral Senators expressed dismay at the idea of the Senate mixing into matters which might involve free dom of the press.
 The committee was created in 1885 at the behest or Senator Black, now Supreme Court jus tice, to inquire into the loby against the public utility holding mpany bill The committee promptly disclosed that thousands of telegrams flooding Congress had been forged by opponents of the utility legislation. Names signed to opposing telegrams had been copied off gravestones and out of telephone books. It reused its first real criti- cism when it subpoenaed files of telegrams from local telegraph of- fees. Subsequently 1t had long period of inactivity.

ROU Boat Pickets Make Appearance ct Ketcl'ikan
 Tn Strike of Fishermen

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, July 12.- Novel row boat pickets have made their appearance here in the strike of fishermen, carrying unfair signs.
 The boatmen pickets rowed in front of the canneries and others paraded in front of the land en- frances.
 The CIO groups have refused the price offered by the canneries for seine caught salmon.
 AFL fishermen who previously signed an agreement to accept the prices, continue fishing.
 Eddie Sukow, Secretary of the AFL group said: "The AFL seiners will sell fish to Metlakatla, Wran- gell or other canneries nearby if necessary, if things get to tough here. All AFL men will gather here too, if the call is issued"

 Jastrom, psychologist.
 There is absolutely no virtue in early rising" Dr. Jastrow writes in "Hygeia," published by the Amer ican Medical Association. What you need and crave is enough sleep to start the day right. If you don't get refreshing sleep-which millions do not-no night is long enough for recovery.
 "The best you can do is to get all the sleep you can in the morning, for you are then in the most re- faxed condition for sleeping and to make it up during the day by as many maps as you can"
