Dr. Daniel Makes Big Hit at Textile Men's Banquet. Dr. D. W. Daniel, the nation ally known Chautauqua and ly ceum lecturer and humorist, and now i member of the faculty of Clemson College easily played the stellar role on the entertainment program at the banquet given last night at Christ Church Parish house to members of the Southern Textile Association, gathered here from three or four southern states for the annual fall convention which opened yesterday afternoon. The "Sage of Calhoun" convulsed his audience again and again as he led them through one of his inimit able lectures, entitled "The Measure of a Man." The audience was filled with wholesome thought, but always punctuated by the shots of mirth and fun which usually predominate in the public appearance of Dr. Daniel. The speaker paused at two or three intervals to pay tribute to the far-sighted men in the spinning in dustry and declared that the field of- . fers wonderful opportunity to young men who are willing to work and ''measure up" as men. "After all," said Dr. Daniel, "the measure Of a man is simply the gaug ing of his service to his fellow men through God. The best man is nev er necessarily the man who sits high and dry on a front pew at church every Sunday, but the fellow who in the mill, the factory, on the farm or in the office treats his fellow man and himself fair and square. "The time is coming when the Gol den Rule man is going to most near ly measure up as the ideal man. The chap who does others as he would himself be done is -by all means a man. "The measure of a man is not how much he knows, not how many diplo mas he has or how many encyclo pedias he has folded away in his brain, but it is to what extent his labors profit his fellow man, how 1 much he is willing to do and how ' honest he is willing to be with the [ fellow at his elbow. "The men who stand up to the 1 measure in the textile world I fancy, J are the fellows who run their ma- ' chines the best, turn out an honest ; day's work for their pay whether it 1 be for service in the lowest or high-' est quality. "What a man wears or how he ? looks amounts to but little-fortu- 1 nately for most of us here-for if to ; be ugly was to be mean about half of us would be in the penitentiary , sure, instead of being here tonight, i "That reminds me of the man who j was to be married. He got all dolled , up in silk hat, cane and spats. Going down to the house of old Sam, his 1 negro servant, he asked Tom hotf ho ; looked. ? v "You sho' do be look bold, the ne- , gro admitted. "No, I don't, Sam. I feel nervous as can be. I am not a bold man." " 'Oh yes, Boss, you look bold as a lion.' " 'YouSre a fool, Sam. You never . saw a lion.' " 'Oh yes, Boss, I saw one down in the medder dis mornin, boss.' " 'Why, you're wrong, Sam, how did it look?' " 'It had 'em long ears, Boss, and swatch hits tail when I come close to de place.' " 'Why Tom, that was an ordinary jackass, not a lion. We don't have lions in this country.' " 'Make no diffunce, Bo?fe, dat de way you look.' " Dr. Daniel declared that applica tion of the "man measure" plan to the textile industry would eliminate strikes and other troubles which have marked the history of the in dustry in the past. A number of visiting textile celeb rities were introduced by Toastmas ter Dave Clarke, prior to the intro duction of Dr. Daniel. Snappy music was furnished by a quartet, with piano accompaniment.-Greenville News. Country Damaged Cotton. The country damage to cotton amounts to many million dollars an nually. The cotton producer pays for it Buyers of cotton the world over make allowances for country dam age. It comes with such regularity every season that docking the entire crop has become a regular habit. This dockage is reflected in the price paid on every bale marketed. No matter if one farmer or a hundred farmers place their cotton in ware houses or protect it from the weath er on the farm, they contribute to the sum paid for damaged cotton brought about through neglect and carelessness of others. Before the practice of docking for country damage can be broken up, the method of handling cotton on the farm and at gins must be changed in all parts of the cotton belt. Farmers will have to cease the practice of hauling a hale of cotton home and dumping it out on the ground at the most convenient place. Cotton yards will have to be dispensed with or used only as a temporary place to store the bales. Not until those who produce or handle the staple in America show a disposition toK give adequate protection to this valuable product will the practice of penaliz ing the American crop become ob solete. Another reform is needed in the handling of the American crop, and that is the method of sampling, which method contributes largely to the ragged appearance 6f the bale and is responsible for much country damage. Every buyer or other per son who inspects a bale feels called upon to slash the bale in a different place and drag out a pound of lint. Samples should be drawn at the gin and certified to. Why cut a bale into shreds so that when it reaches the port it looks like a wornout mop? Farm and Ranch. Saluda Eleven Has Clean Slate So Far. Saluda, S. C., Oct. 21.-Four in a row in as many games is the record of Saluda High School'football elev en. The last victim .at the hands of the local high school team was Edge field on the local field yesterday af ternoon, 38 to 6. In che first quarter the game was very tame, neither side showing any special interest. Within the first iew minutes of play Coleman for Saluda ran the end 40 yards for a touchdown. Edge field the n tightened, tip and held the local boys for a couple of first downs and scored in this quarter their only touchdown of the game. In the sec ond, Coleman again carried the ball across the gold line for Saluda, while Edwards kicked goal. In the third quarter Edgefield re ceived the kick-off but fumbled the ball on Saluda's 20-yard line and after a few plunges, Corley, for Sa luda, went through the line for an other touchdown and Edwards again kicked goal. In this quarter, Mitchell Por Saluda received a forward pass and ran for 40 yards for another touchdown. The last quarter found the home team going strong and it completed several passes. Foy, for Saluda scor ed after carrying the ball for 30 yards. Day for Edgefield played an ex cellent game for the visitors. His in terference and tackles were excep tionally good. The game was a clean one throughout and deserves nothing but praise for the Edgefield eleven. The boys were about evenly matched in weight. Saluda may have had the edge a few pounds. The weather was clear and cool and a fairly good crowd witnessed the game. Appointment of Tolbert Made to Prevent Gossip. Washington, Oct. 20.-Word came to Washington today that Senator N. B. Dial of South Carolina will con tinue his fight against proposed con firmation of Joseph W. Tolbert, ap pointed by the president to be mar shal of the Western district of South Carolina. It is regarded here as certain that against the opposition of Senator Dial, Tolbert's confirmation will be impossible. That the president gave him a recess appointment, in spite of the fact that the committee which investigated complaint against him was understood to be disposed to re ject him, greatly surprised official Washington. He will serve until such time as his nomination is rejected. It is un derstood that the senators who stand for the administration will delay as long as possible the crucial test. It is known that Senator Dial, simply by explaining that Tolbert is person ally "'obnoxious" to him, can bring about his defeat. Some time ago the president an nounced that he would make no re cess appointments unless necessity compelled him to act. It is under stood, however, that the president was informed that it was a reflection against the Republican party that a member of the national committee, the oldest member in point of ser vice, could not secure an office un der the administration. Thus moved, the president, it is said, has agreed to act. Notice. All persons indebted to the estate of J. M.
