II was pointed out that diseon-

have reached the stage where they

THE Boston massacre" and the
j Boston tea party" aroused
the American patriots Of Other
colonies to action.
And when Parliament punished
the city of Boston by putting an
embargo on all its commerce andn
ending all its privileges. the HOust
OF Bursesses OF Virginia passed
resolutions of sympathy and pro-
posed the assembly OF q general
Congress of all the colonies.
Revolution was on its way.
In England, while the Earl Of
Chatham defended the colonies,
fat and fatuous DR.. johnson called
tho Americans "rascals, robbers,
pirates" and asked the govern
ment to "burn and destroy them.'
Said he brutally:
"Sir, they are q race Of
conrjcts and ought TO be
thankful for anything ne
oHoWed them short Of hang
iNg."
So naturally those who were
considered traitors by England
were considered patriots In Amer
lea.
hni naturally, too, the time for
men OF words was passing, and
the time for men of action was
arriving.
John Adams wrote admiringly ~
the kind of oratory that counted in
this crisis.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10
President Roosevelt told his press
conference today that it would not
be fair 10 interpret the new all
out aid 10 Britain bill as a repeal
of the Johnson Act.
Asked what was meant by the
phrase in tho bill which author
ICES him 70 act not withstanding
the provisions Of any other law.
Nh Roosevelt said that was
merely tho usual phrase which
goes into legislation 10 overcome
what is known as conflict of laws.
and make clear that latest legis-
lation passed supersedes that put
on the books earlier.
Mr. Roosevelt spoke with great
.earnestness in urging Congress TO
act as fast as possible. The United
States must have methods Of
speed if il is to help democracy
survive. the President said.
UP TO CONGRESS
He pointed out that the British
aid measure is merely an au-
thorizing bill Tho government. he
noted can not do a thing until

tions 10 finance action.

fully to the labor of running his
estates.
This was indeed a labor, al
though q pleasant one.
And II was not always a very
remunerative labor.
The planters Of Virginia were,
all Of them. land poor.
They had broad acres but little
money.
They made on their estates
nearly everything they used, and
occasionally sent to England for
some small luxury.
It is hardly believable but Wash
ington. with all his fields of corn
and tobacco, was so short of cash
at times that once he had to beg
the extension for thirty days OF a
note for ninety pounds-S450.
Washington gave the utmost at
tention to every detail of his
farms.
He raised horses. sheep and cat
tie, and supervised the conduct of
shoemaker's shop, black
smiths shop. flour mills. and vari-
Gus looms producing fabrics for
the use of his own people and for

Collections Ranging From Snuff Boxes
To Campaign Buttons Found In Bluffton

Whether the urge to collect comes
from an innate human desire to
bring order out of chaos is not
known for sure, but it is certain that
there are number of unusual hob
bies in Bluffton.
Ranging all the way from the col
lection of old snuff boxes to political
buttons of the recent presidential
campaign, an extreme variety of pur-
suits are followed by the lobbyists
of the town.
The snuff box collection is owned by
Stanley Basinger, local undertaken,
who also owns q collection of multi
colored barber bottles dating back to
the gay nineties when the barber
shop shelves were lined with gilt
lettered shaving mugs and gaily-
colored bottles of hair tonic. His
mother, Mrs. Francis Basinger, OF
South Lawn avenue, has one of the
outstanding doll collections in this
section of the state.
Although there are many hobby.
lists in Bluffton who follow the more
customary lines such as stamps
coins and arrowheads, one of the
most unusual collections is that OF
Jesse Bracy of South Lawn avenue
who collects milk bottles bearing
names. of different dairies.
There are two known collections
