The Sana Sills," Will

Washington?The appointment of
! Senator E. I). Smith to the committee
! on agriculture, investigations in the
civil service, conservation of the national
resources, manufactures, immigration
and patents, note of which
I was made a day or two ago, indicates
| that South Carolina, from all appear!
ances, is to get the very best possible
i results from her members .of congress
during the next few years. Sen'
ator Smith will now be in a position
to jump right into the congressional
fight, if necessary, in ord^r to get everything
there is for his constituents
at home.
With Senator Smith on these committees,
Senator Tillman on appropriations
and naval affairs, Representative
Lever on agricultnre, Mr. Johnson
on buildings and grounds, Mr.
Finley on postoffices and postroads,
Mr. Patterson on claims and Mr. Ellerbe
on rivers and harbors, South
Carolina, would, indeed, appear to be
as well fixed as any other State in the
Union so far as committee places are |
concerned.
Senator Tillman and the members
of the house have already demonstrated
from time to time their efficiency
as committee members, and there is
not the least doubt that Senator
Smith will make equally as good a
showing. When he was asked how he
managed to secure such excellent
places when he had been in the senate
only two or three weeks, he modaaflir
fhaf Via xnrtnl/l laava tVial".
t-DWJ iV^lAVU UU?V AiU TVVU1U ivw ? V WA4WV
for others to say. The troth is that
the great work that Senator Smith
had already done for the farmers of
the country preceded him, so that
when he got to Washington and his
colleagues found that he was the
Smith from South Carolina that they
heard about?"Cotton Smith"?the
natural thing wa9 to land him on the
committee on agriculture, where his
talents might be best employed.
Senator Smith expects to devote
much of his time tp the work of the
other committees also, but it is to
that on agriculture that he will give
most of hi9 time. He came to the
senate with a heart throbbing and
beating with hope and expectancy j
that he might prove a real friend, io
the farmers of the South, and We |
chance is now his. In no other capacity
could he be of more practical
use to his friends in South Carolina
and elsewhere than as a member of
the committee on agriculture. With
the excellent work that he will accomplish
in the senate, aided by Representative
Lever in the house, "the
little giant from the Sand Hills,"
South Carolina farmers are ?n a better
way today to profit from the work
of their men in congress than they
have ever been before. Then there is
Senator Tillman on the appropriating
committee to watch the financi
il end of the Smith-Lever work.?

Liquor And The Sspross.
A week or so ago we spoke of the
large profit derived by the Southern
Express company from the shipment
of intoxicating beverages into the prohibiton
states of the south; but we
are informed by one of the officers of
the express company that as a matter
of fact the receipts of the company
from tins source having fallen off at
least 50 per cent. There has been, it
is admitted, a large increase in the
in-bound shipments of liquor into
such towns as Atlanta, Macon, Augusta
and Savannah in our neighboring
state of Georgia, but at the same time
there has been a corresponding loss
n the outbound shipments so that it
is estimated that the express company
is about 50 per cent short in its earnings
on account of the liquor trade*
We do not know how this is, but from
what we have heard the illicit traffickers
in spirituous liquors in the prohibition
states of the south have been
making a great deal of money out of
the business. Possibly the express
company would be able to render ma
terial assistance to the officers of the
law in the enforcement of the law
Their defence now appears to be that
j everything is coming in and nothing
is going out, but all the while the
blind tigers are making piles of money.?News

List week our community was vis- '
ited by a severe wind, rain and hail I
storm, the wind blew from the South j
at a terrible rate, the hail was soon
over. So far we have not heard of
casualties arising therefrom.
Our people are behind some in their
farming, so much rain, no plowing of
much extent can be done.
The oat crop |is fine and we hope
will oontinue good up to harvest time.
The annexation agitation has somewhat
simmered down, but still water
runs deep and the question is liable
bubble up again.

at White Rock, have by subscription
been able to raise a nice sum of money
which will enable them to install a
phone in their parsonage, and the far

Death of Kiss Sola Wingard.
MissBela Wingard, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Thnmas Winorai'ri of
the home of her parents, about tw#
miles north of Lexington, on last
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock after
a very brief illness.
Her remains were laid to rest in fcke
cemetery at Pilgrim church on Saturday
morning at 19 o'clock, the last '
sad rites being performed by the Rev.
J. A. Cromer in the presence of a
large congregation of sorrowing relatives
and friends.
Miss Wingard was just 19 years of
age. She was one of the most popular
young ladies in the community,
and her sudden demise has caused
genuine sorrow to her relatives and
friends. She is survived by her parents,
one brother and two sisters.
Dead As Result of Ziss.
. Cumberland, Md, March28.?Having
become infected from a kiss bestowed
by requst on a patient drying of blood
poisoning, Marion C. Spier, a trained
nurse, died here last night. Miss Spier i
nursed Mrs Virginia Callan Carder, J
wife of Dr Geo L. Carder, a prominent 4
society woman at the Allegheny Hospital,
and was so kind to the sick woman
that the latter a9ked her to kiss
her as she was dying. The request
was granted and, in a few days, Miss
Spier wa9 s'jickea with the sama
malady.
