Very Important.
"Speaker Cannon, of the House Representative?,
has given Congressman
Lever an assignment as a member of
the committee on agticulture. While
this is the only appointment Mr.
Lever received, it is upon an important
committee and places him where
he can be of benefit to the great
majority of his constituents. And
there is no doubt that he will use
every opportunity that offers in the
interest, not only of the farmers, but.
those of every other occupation.''
?Sumter Herald.
We take the above from the Sumter
Herald. Toe District should congratulate
itself upon the fact' that
Congressman Lever has been assigned
to a committee of so much importance
to its agricultural interests,
and to th<? industrial development of
the State and South. This Committee
takes rank with the most important
of the House Committees, and
there is always an earnest contest
< for assignments on it, especially
between members from the South,
representing Agricultural Districts.
Through the recommedations of this
Committee to the house, the Department
of Agricultural which is doing
mnoh fnr the education of the
farmers and the development of the
farming interests of the country, receives
its power.
It is particularly gratifying to have
southern members on this Committee
for they well understand the peculiar
needs and possibilities of the southern
farmers; and we feel sure
Congressman Lever will devote his
best efforts to briDgiog to the attention
of the Committee and Congress
the vast agricultural resources, both
of his District and the entire State.
It was upon this same Committee
that the late and lamented Dr. Stokes
/
served with so much benefit to his
people duriDg his. congressional
career, and it is very pleasing to the
f friends of young Lever to know that
the leadership of the House'regards
his ability so favorably? as to place
him in the same seat at the committee
table which bis distinguished predecessor
occupied?and this after so
brief a service in the house.
.RepresentativeAVUliamp, tne present
Democratic leader on the floor
of the House, left this Committee
only this year when he was elevated
to the minority leadership. That
our Representative should be selected
for this place is a high compliment,
both to the District and to
him, and the Dispatch wishes to
extend its heartiest congratulations
to our young Congressman, and to
wish him a career on the Committee,
brilliant for himself, and beneficial to
his State and District.?[Editor

On Panama Soil.

is, "I don't feel half ?"""

The McDaniel Case.
Ia order to correct an error which!1*
appeared ia the printed brief, Judge
Klugh has filed an order granting
an amendment in the case of the
State vs. McDaniel. The arguments
in the case will probably be
heard before the supreme court during
the next week.
McDaniel is the young man who
was given a life term in the penitentiary
by the Lexington court for
murder. The case has been carried
through a series of legal proceedings
and the order just received
means that the question of whether
the case shall be re-opened or not
will be decided by the Supreme
court.?State 2i.

What the Moon Can Tell.
A clear moon indicates frost.
Aduil looking moon means rain.
A single halo around tbe moon
indicates a storm.
If tbe moon looks high, cold
weather may be expected.
If the moon looks low down, warm
weather is promised.
The moon on her back always denotes
wet weather.
A double halo around the moon
means very boisterous weather.
If the moon changes with the
wiDd in the east, then shall we have
bad weather.
If the meon be bright and clear
when three days old, fine weather is
promised.
When the moon is visible in the
daytime then may we lock forwaid
to cool days.
When the points of the crescent of
the new moon are very clearly visible,
frost may be looked for.
If the new moon appears with its
points upward then will the month
be dry, but should the points be
downwarn more or less rain must be
expected during the next three
weeks.
