OCONEE JEANS CAPITAL FAD. President Wilson Will Wear Suit of the Foothills Cloth. * %r Washington, Feb. 15.?W. S. Brea^ zeale, a well known Anderson tailor, was in Washington this week taking omnncr mpmhers of Congress UX UCii O wuiv..n for suits of homespun woolen jeans. The cloth is made by the mountaineers of Oconee and Pickens counties by the old-fashioned process, or hand looms, and. aside from being of the very best possible quality, is very attractive in appearance. Mr. Breazeflle sold several of the suits and was told by members of Congress that if he would come back to Washington early next fall he could sell all the suits that he could make. He will buy all the jeans that he can get hold of between now and then, and the mountain women will make many hundreds of dollars as the result. Among those wearing a suit of jeans in the capital is Representative L?ver. Mr. >ls&ver is very proud of the dav that he put it \ ?UO Ou*v, w on he boasted that he was now "a better dressed man than Wyatt Aiken." meaning by that, perhaps, that his suit was newer than Mr. Aiken's. But Mr. Aiken went him > one better, for he has had an overcoat made of the material. Now, an overcoat of woolen.jeans would be eonsnicuous anywhere, but on a man of Mr. Aiken's size, it is not merely a sight; it is a piece of scenery. Representative Levy, of New York, who is a millionaire, used to wear an overcoat which he claimed cost $30,900, and it prabably did, for it was made of the most expensive furs. Mr v Aiken's overcoat probably did not cost as much as $30, but it attracts more attention than Mr. Levy's ever did. It is really a handsome garment and is admirably suited to the rigors of a Washington winter. Mr. Aiken THE TEACHERS OF / THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST COUNTY, WITH NAME OF SCHC JAN. 25th, 1916: District.

Mr. Aiken has been wearing suit' of jeans during the winters for a lonj time, ever since he was a court ste nographer. "I used to have to weai jeans clothes when I was a boy," h< said the other day, "and I hated th< stuff then with a hate that I though would be enduring. It just wouldn'i wear out, and new suits were fev and far between with me. I can re member that as a boy, when I woult take off my clothes at night, it woult not make difference whether ] hung my breeches up or not. I coult just stand them up in the middle ol the floor and they would stand ther< until morning. I swore then thai when I got to be a man I would dc my best to abolish jeans clothes. Af ter I got grown I wore other stuff foi a long time, but finally, after I goi to be court stenograher, I was a1 Walhalla one day and met an olc mountaineer who had on a suit ol jeans. The sight of it carried m< back to my boyhood, and I got tc | talking to the old nam and he prom' | ised to get his wife to make enough cloth for a suit. I had it made anc liked it, and haven't worn any othei kind of winter clothes since." When Mr. Aiken first came to Congress the Republicans were in powei and Uncle Joe Cannon was Speakei of the House. In those days th? Speaker was the absolute boss of the House. No bill could pass unless il had his approval. Mr. Aiken's jeans suit attracted Speaker Cannon's attention. He admired it very much and said it carried him back to his boyhood ir Guilford county, North Carolina. Mr Aiken wrote to a friend in Oconet [county and got enough of the clotl to make Mr. uannon a sun ami made him a present of it. The Speaker had it made up by one oi the finest tailors in Washington anc was as proud of it as he could be kBBEVILLE COUNTY. OF THE TEACHERS OF THE )0L AND POSTOFFICE ADDRESS School.

A few days later the Speaker me r Mr. Aiken in the lobby, "Aiken, 5 he asked, "haven't you introduced i public-building bill for some town i t your district?" t "Oh," replied Mr. Aiken, "I b( r lieve I did introduce a bill for a pul - lie building at Anderson^ but I ha 1 nlmnst fnrcnHen it.. Voil see. W 1 Southern Democrats have to intrt [ duce bills of that kind in order t 1 pass muster at home, but we rarel f Bret them through, for we are in th i minority." t "Uh, huh," replied the Speakei > and took another puff at his cigei - This was all that was said, but th r next time the legislative mill got t t grinding the Anderson bill wa t among the grist that was turned ou 1 and the appropriation went througl f Of course it is not to be said that M i Aiken bribed Speaker Cannon with > suit of jeans, but the fact is that th - Speaker got tbe eiothes and l Aiken got his bill through. 1 Mr. Aiken was at the Whit House a few weeks ago, and Pres: dent- Wilton admired- his -suit an overcoat and asked him where he go them. Mr. Aiken told him and the sent down to Oconee and got enoug of it to make a suit and sent it up t the White House with his compli t ments. The President hasn't had i made up yet, for he has been bus 1 with other matters, but he has e> pressed his appreciation of it. ] may be that he is saving it to wea i on his campaign trips next fall. As a matter of fact, the old hom( ! spun jeans, such as our grandfather i wore, seems to be coming back i I vogue. Made of pure wool, by th | hand process, it has everlasting weai ing qualities, and when made into I suit by a tailor who knows his bus: ness it is not at all bad looking . Many of the mountaineers of Ocone and Pickens counties grow sheej and the women card and spin th wool, and w6ave it into cloth. U ; until now, they have been makin , just enough of it for home needs, bu if the old cloth comes back int fashion, as it promises to do, the ir dustry may become very profitabl indeed, .r-r- j. r USE POWDERED BORAX FOR FLY PREVENTIOl Clemson College, March 6.?A pir of prevention in the form of pov dered borax is better than a hui dred fly-swatters when the aim i to relieve the world of as large number of houseflies as possibb Experiments made by the federj bureau of entomology establishe the value of powdered borax in fl prevention, and Clemson College at vises the people of this state to us it Horse and cow manures are th principal breeding places of flies an the fight on the housefly should bi gin there.
