HON. J. 0. PATT] HIGH INC v * The member of Congress from the second district of South Caro lina, Judge. James O'H. Patterson, | has rather upset the popular im pression that a man in order to get Congressional favors must belong to. the regular Republican organ i- | zation. Now while Congressman Patterson is a Democrat and got 8,440 votes in his district in the last election, 'against fifty-eight for the Republican nominee, yet he has done what no Republican has been able to accomplish. The established rule in connection with appropria tions for public, buildings is that they will be granted to only.' cities of ten thousand inhabitants or where the gross receipts of the office exceed ten thousand dollars per year; but 21r. Patterson got ten thousand dollars for a site and fifty thousand dollars for a building for Aiken,-South Carolina, <which is a place of about four thousand popu lation, aild with receipts running far below the usual amount required aud to top off all that, has practi cally arranged for free delivery. This is, of course, a local matter, but simply goes to show what the : right kind of a congressman can ac complish by keeping everlastingly after things. There is a delicious air of the southland about room 409 in the House Office Building, and in it I spent a pleasant half hour with Judge Patterson, while he told me ' of his great interest in the projects to drain the swamp lands of the south. "We are realizing the great ness of the irrigation projects in the west," he said, but it seems to be rather difficult to make our peo ple understand the greater advan tages that attach to drainage prob lems. 1 In the West, the irrigation systems must first be installed, and then it ?8 necessary to get the peo ple to come in and settle on the lands; while in_ my state the people are already there and the . moment the lands are supplied with a satis factory drainage system cultivation begins; and these lands are as val uable as any of the lands that are being talked about so much in the West." Judge Patterson made a ?{. ?J* fflOTOB buying it. But I do want torcycle. They are Brin ure with the trouble cut c fix kind with the top not like to see one, a post card W. S. G.

' "- ' . . 1 ? . ... speech upon this subject that at tracted a great deal of favorable comment among Congressman at the time, and did mnch to enlighten his colleagues in reference to the needs of the south. Judge Patterson has covered his district with rural free delivery routes, and in this matter as well as iii the instance cited of the Aiken public building has demonstrated his ability to ''get things." He has also secured a soil survey for Saluda | County which will be of great value j to the agricultural regions as it will clearly define the chemical and phy sical value of the soil in the differ ent regions, aad show conclusively, the kind of crops to which each section is best adapted. In the way of local legislation it is found that the Congressman has been unusu ally successful in securing appropri ations indemnifying sufferers from outrages perpetrated during the Civ il War, bu* in the broader and more comprehensive field of national affairs he has addressed the House upon the subject of the tariff and threw some hot shells into the 'Re-1 publican camp in his argument along the line that the opposition was trying to' serve the interests rather than the consumers of the country, while his speech upon the Federal Judiciary. System has(been circulated pretty well over the coun try. He elicited. great applause from members of his party when he declared that "federal judges are the 'sappers and miners' of despot I ism." and characterized the system as ' against the policy and princi ples of our government and of all civilized nations" because it places "the machinery of the courts of ju? tice beyond the reach of tho poorest and humblest citizen who seeks re dress for a wrong or remedy for an existing evil." No matter how much one may disagree with Judge Patterson up on his views, yet it is doubtless true that the Republicans in Congress maintain the highest respect for the ability and fairness with which the South Carolina member has present ed his argument from his party's standpoint.-National Magazine. ^VW^%%-%%???? ti ?CYCLE Spell's trquble unless you buy the right kind.
