Work on Orangeburg-Bamberg High way rrogresses. Cope, March 14.?Last week the following farmers made a start on the 1921 crop by planting some cotton: F. E. Cope, W. M. Hughes, H. N. Antley, and J. D. Croft for Glenn W. Cope and F. E. Cope says he is practically speaking, planting corn. As the weather continues warm and springlike others are getting ready to put in their cotton as soon as possible so as to be ahead of the boll weevil. The oat crop generally is looking well and so are vegetable gardens. Mr. Carroll, the contractor on the state highway from Orangeburg towards Bamberg, is now working on this side of the Atlantic. Coast Line railroad, about a mile and a half from Cope and will soon join that section of the road that is being built by J.. Fisher Cleckley across Snake swamp. The weather of late has been favorable for such work - and good headway is being made. Baptist Church Notes. A large audience was present last Sunday to hear Rev. Maxcie G. White.

Senator Dial, of South Carolina, last night accepted the defi issued by Ferderal Judge K. M. Landis, of Chicago, and announced that today he will launch a fight in congress for impeachment of the judge. These proceedings will be based on the fact that the judge released Francis J. Carey, a bank teller, who confessed to the em| bezzlement of $96,000, which he buri ied in his mother's yard. Judge Landis stated that as the bank in which Carey was employed paid him only $90 per month, an inadequate sum, it was responsible for his default. Judge Landis intimated that Sena tor Dial's threat made in the senate on Saturday was due to the fact thai he, Dial, is a banker and has only the interests of the banks at heart. He defied the senator to attempt to impeach him. Dial's Statement. "Whether I am a banker or not has no bearing on the case," said Senator Dial last night. "I may be one thing and may be another. I merely want to say that I am proud of what I am. Anything Judge Landis may say cannot make me less proud." "In an address before the American Legion at Des Moines Saturday night Judge Landis declared that the senator's "background" led to the attack upon him for "giving fair treatment to a $90-a-month bank clerk, who in a month, handled millions." The "background" to which Judge Landis referred is set forth in the senator's official biography published in the Congressional Directory. It lists the senator's business connections as ! follows: Dial's Record. "Member of the law firm of Dial and Todd, Laurens, S. C.; promoter of the Peoples Loan and Exchange Bank, Laurens; organizer and president of the Enterprise National Bank and the Home Trust company; organized and interested in other banks and financial institutions; Laurens Cotton Seed Oil Mill; Laurens Glass Works; Laur-! ens Cotton Mills; Laurens Bonded j Warehouse company; Georgia-Caro| lina Power company; Ware Shoals | Manufacturing company; Reedy Riv-I er power company and Sullivan Power company." ? * Senator Dial is reputed to be one of the wealthiest members of the senate. Stand by Welty. "Judge Landis must either divorce himself from the flesh-pots or get off the bench?h? cannot serve God and Mammon!" Representative Benjamin F. Welty, of Ohio, declared last night, in return to the "compliments" paid him and Senator Dial by Judge Landis in his speech at the American Legion banquet in Des Moines Saturday night. "If Judge Landis was justified in accepting a salary of $42,500 a year from the baseball trust when at the same time it had been proved an illegal combine and fined $50*000 by the supreme court of the District of Columbia, then every other judge of the supreme bench is justified in accepting the same salary," the representative declared last night. Case Still Pending. Represntative Welty declared that the case was still pending and had been appealed to the supreme court of the United States. "If the baseball magnates or any other illegal combination have a right to hire Judge Landis they have .a right to hire every other judge in the land," says Welty. Representative Welty said that he would ask for an investigation immediately of the alleged irregularities connected with Judge Landis's acceptance of a salary as arbitrator for the baseball people. He declared that he would invoke an act passed by congress two years ago which prohibits the acceptance of a government official of a salary from a source other than the government of the United States. Attorney General Palmer had informed him by letter, he said, that this act was not applicable to the judiciary, but the representative said that he would nevertheless ask foi another interpretation. Landis's Statement. Chicago, Feb. 13.?Judge Kennesaw M. Landis said tonight he had no fear of impeachment. The judge had just returned from Des Moines, Iowa, where he had answered criticisms of Senator Dial, of South Carolina, in an address before an American Legion post. The first thing Judge Landis did was to read to his audience a biographical sketch of Senator Dial. It credited the senator with being interested in a bank or two, cotton mills and waterpower products in South Carolina. He said: Tells of Fight. "A few years ago, after a fight had been made in the country for fifty years, in the interest of the developA COFFIN OF KU KLUX KLAN. Box Used By York Men Now Valued Relic. York, March 12.?The coffin, used by the Knights of the invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan in initiation ceremonies in 186S-70, was recently found in the attic of a Main street business house. It had lain there unused for half a century. The coffin is now a valued relic in possession of J. Robert Lindsay, insurance man. Ho Cot the Job. An Irishman, an Englishman ,and a Scotchman were out of work. They traveled together in search of employment and came to a farmer's house and applied. The farmer said whoever could ten tne niggest lie could have a job. The Englishman said he went to the north pole in a tub. The Scotchman said he swam to the south pole. The farmer then asked Pat: "Well, Pat, what's your lie?" "Begorra, sir," said Pat, "I believe these lads." Pat got-the job. Fearing for Sister. Ltitle Tommie Brown was always interested in his little baby sister. One day he stood peering down upon it, while the nurse was singing it to sleep. "Nurse," he whispered a: last, "she's nearly unconscious, isn't she?" "Yes," nodded the nurse, and continued singing the lullaby. But mommy whispered in alarm. ' Then don t sing any more or you'll kill her." One Way. A crusty old bachelor had accepted an invitation to spend the holiday with relatives in the east. The fond young mother was rocking baby one morning when, with a confiding glance she said: "I wonder, Uncle Fred, how 1 can ment of men and women?particularly women, the chief detriment was the employing of little girls in cotton mills down south?congress passed a bill to shut out of interstate commerce the manufactured products of the labor of little girls and boys, a cotton manufacturer?I do not know whether it was Senator Dial or not? attacked that act of congress as unconstitutional, and the supreme court of the United States, in the exercise of its duty, under its oath of office had to hold that the law was unconstitutional. "Those little girls and boys were employed down there in this mill at starvation-wages. They were employ-' ed because they were little girls and little boys and would work for low wages, and I can't understand, how, out of all the ninety-six senators in the chamber of Washington, a man with that allignment -would attack a Federal judge who would go slow in imposing a sentence upon a $90-amonth clerk, employed at 19 years of age, handling $1,000,000 of money in the bank every month." Attacks Dial. Judge Landis, in referring to Sena I tor Dial as being president of the Peoples Loan and Exchange bank and the Home Trust company, of Laurens county, S. ., said: "I think he had better get out of | the banking business or else get out of the senate. He also aided in estabj lishing other banks and financial inj terests. I can understand why he is not against this proposition." Judge Landis said he was still undecided what to do with the young bank clerk. | NO!
