tumorous gqjartmrnt. Tha Fracture.?"You know what a crank by brother Lucas is," said Miss Fretty Tamms. "He's so queer a body can't get along with him in any com fort, skurcely, and have anything to say. I don't know why an old bachelor should be so ranktankerous, but so 'tis * in his case. If I get a comfortable sauahble started with him?and it's a| real pleasure to quarrel with a relative at times, you know?he'll say his say, and then shut right up and pout to himself for half a day. He's terrible unsociable, that way. ' "Well, this morning I was telling him what I thought of 'most every- , thing: in general, and he sassed back for ten minutes or so, and then he snapped shut like a turtle and wouldn't say another word, and went upstairs to his room. I was scrubbing the floors, and after a while I got upstairs Into the hall, and was still kinda discussing things with myself, that being { more interesting than keeping still. And he came out of his room and started down stairs, prob'Iy to get out of hearing, or something and he stepped on the cake of soap, and flopped up in the air, and went down stairs on . the middle of his back, and broke his silence." ii|Vi ? ? 1 Soma Liars.?An American traveler entered into conversation with a Boer t fanner during a long arid tiresome ] train journey, as an Englishman tells i It ( As is the way of Americans, he i started boasting on the U. S. A. i "Believe me," he said, "we had a 1 cabbage so large over there that its ( shadows darkened Broadway. Sud- j denly it faded and decayed, and In i time it was found that the rabbits in t Australia had eaten away the roots." I "Some cabbage!" said the Boer. 1 "But when I was on the farm in South i Africa we had an ostrich that ate an t *- ?J ~ ?machlnP. and 1 illJV pau aiiu UUU1MV4>..0 for the next three years every egg was dated and numbered." The Joke.?"A funny thing happened over beyond |Tount Pizgy tuther night," related Gap Johnson, of Rumpus Ridge. "A bunch of Whitecapa drug a feller out of bed and whaled him mighty nigh to v. frazzle with hickory withes." "What for?" inquired the neighbor to whom the incident was being related. "That's the funny part of it! They went back the next night and owned right up that the joke was on him. j They'd made a mistake and?yawhaw! haw!?gone to the wrong house." Hew About Thio One??They were thrown into each other's society in a country house, without common interests or the least attraction for each othor. -Finally, after casting about for a fertile subject of conversation, only to fail in every attempt, he said, desperately: "Will you marry me?" She considered long and deeply. "I think HI say yes," she replied at last. "It will give us so much more to talk about wnue we re nere. Almost Perfect.?Movie fan, after reading the names of the author, the scenario writer, adapter, director, supervisor, photographer, art-titler and property man on the screen: "Now, if I knew the name of the man who sweeps out the studio or who brings the onions for the star's tears, I could set right back and enjoy the picture." It All Doponda.?"Forty years ago," declared the self-made man, "I got my real beginning. I started out in New York with one hundred dollars. What do you think of that?" "Well." returned the New Yorker, "it all depends on where you were going.", I A Ruling Passion.?"Why in the world did she marry him? He has lost one leg, his hair is gone, one eye is out and he hasn't any teeth." "He was her final, grand success. That woman has always had a mad passion for remnants." His Wail.?"My nephew, who lately graduated from the state university," a trifle ruefully confessed Farmer Bentover, "complains that I am so illbred that a gentleman can hardly live | off from me without losing his belf- ( respect." , ] Seeing How to Sleep.?"Why do you < want a light left in your room when i you go to bed, dear?" asked little i Lela's mother. "Are you afraid?" 1 "No, mamma," replied Lela, "I want ] it so that I can see to go to sleep." ] , 0 I More to the Point.?"An ounce of prevention is woith a pound of cure," quoted the Parlor philosopher.

She: I was just thinking this is the last evening we can be together until tomorrow. PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS. (Continued From Page One.) and appeals to minimize the likelihood and throw off the crushing burdens oi armament. It is all very earnest, with a national soul impelling. But a people unemployed and gaunt with hunger face a situation quite as disheartening as war and our greater obligation today is to do the government's part to ward resuming productivity and promoting fortunate and remunerative employment. Something more than tariff protection is required by American agriculture. To the farmer has come the earlier and heavier burdens of readjustment. There is actual depression in our agricultural industry, while agrieultural prosperity is absolutely essential to the general prosperity of the country. Relief for Farmere. Congress has soi/ght very earnestly to provide relief. It has promptly given such temporary relief as has been possible, but the call is insistent for the permanent solution. It is inevitable that the large crops lower the prices ind short crops advance them. No legislation can secure that fundamental aw. But there must be some economic solution for the excessive variation in "eturns for agricultural production. It is rather shocking to be told, and :o have the statement strongly supported that nine million bales of cot:on raised on American plantations in i given year, will actually be worth nore to the producers than thirteen million bales woulc' have be"3.1. Equaly shocking is the statement that 700,>00,000 bushels of wheat raised by American farmers, would brin.j them nore money than a billion bushels. Yet hese are not exaggerated statements, n a world where there are tens of milions who need food and clothing vhlch they cannot get, such a condiion is sure to indict the social system vhich makes it possible. In the main the remedy lies in distri>ution and marketing. Every proper sncouragement should be given to the :ooperatlve marketing programmes. These have proven very helpful to the :ooperating communities in Europe. In Russia the cooperative community has >ecome the recognized bulwark of the aw and order, and saved individualism 'rom engulfment in social paralysis. Jltimately they will be accredited with he salvation of the Russian state. There Is the appeal for this experinent. Why not try it? No one chalenges the right of the farmer to a arger share of the consumer's pay for lis product. No one disputes that we annot live without the farmer. He is ustlfled in rebelling against the trans>ortation cost. Given a fair return for lis labor, he will have less occasion to ippeal for financial aid: and given asturance that his labors shall not be in ,*ain, we reassure all the people of a ^reduction sufficient to meet our naional requirements and guard against iisaster. Labor Problem. While this set of problems is comnonly comprehended under the general >hrase, "capital and labor" it is really r-astly broader, it is a question of so:ial and economic organization. Labor las become a larger contributor hrough its savings to the stock of captal, while the people who own the argest individual aggregates of capital ire themselves often hard and earnest aborers. Very often it is extremely iifficult to draw the lin4 of demarcaion between the two groups. To deermine whether a particular individual s entitled to be set down as a laborer )r as a capitalist. In a very large proportion of cases he is both, and when le is both he is the most useful citi:en. The right of labor to organize is just is fundamental and necessary as is the Ight of capita) to organize. The right it labor to negotiate, to deal with and solve its project problems in an organzed way, through its authorized agents Is just as essential as is the right of capital to organize to maintain corporitions, to limit the liabilities of stockholders. Indeed, we have come to recognize the limited liability of the citisen as a member of a labor organization closely parallels the limitation of liability of the citizen as a stockholder in a corporation for profit. Along this line of reasoning, we shall make the greatest progress toward solution of our problems of capital and labor. In the case of the corporation which enjoys the privilege of limited liability lit stockholders, particularly when engaged in the public service, when recognized that the outside public has a large concern which must be protected; and we provide regulations, restrictions and in some cases detailed supervisions. Likewise, in the case of labor organizations, we might well apply similar and equally well-defined principles of regulation and supervision in order to conserve the public's interests as affected by their operations. Just as if it is not desirable that a corporation shall be allowed to impose undue actions upon the public, so it is not desirable that a labor organization shall be permitted to exact unfair terms on persons or subject the public to actual distresses in order to enforce its terms. Finally, just as we arc earnestly seeking for procedures whereby to adjust and settle political differences between nations without resort to war, so we may well look about for means to settle the differences between organized capital and organized labor without resort to those forms of warfare which we recognize under the name of strikes, lockout, boycotts and the like. As we have great bodies of law carefully regulating the organization und operations of industrial and financial corporations, as we have treaties and compacts among nations which look to the settlement of the differences without the necessity of conflict in arras, -so we might well have plans of conference of common counsel, of mediation and arbitration and judicial determination in controversies betweer labor and capital. To accomplish this would involve the necessity to develop I a thorough-going code of practice ir ' dealing with such affairs. It might bt 1 well to frankly 'Set forth the superior s interest of the community as a whole . to either the labor group or the capital 1 group. With rights, privileges, Lmmu nities ana moaes or organization inus carefully defined. It should be possible to set up judicial or quasi judicial tri' buna!s for the consideration and determination of all disputes which menace the public welfare. Homes for Soldier*. After each war, until the last, the government has been anabled to give homes to its returned soldiers, and a large part of our settlement and development has attended this generous provision of land for the nation's defenders. There is yet unreserved approximately 200,000,000 acres In the public domain, 20,000,000 of which are known to be susceptible of reclamation and made fit for homes by provision for Irrigation. Famine in Russia. While we are thinking of promoting the fortunes of our own people I an sure there is .room for the sympathetic thought of America for fellow human beings who are suffering and dying of starvation in Russia. A severe drought in the valley of the Volga has plunge<l 15,000,000 people into grievous famine. Our voluntary agencies are exerting themselves to the utmost to save the lives of children in this area, but it iii now evident that unless relief is af> forded the loss of life will extend intc many millions. America can not bt deaf to such a call as that. We do not recognize the government of Russia, nor tolerate the propaganda which emanates therefrom, but we do not forget the traditions of Russian friendship. We may put aside our consideration of all international politics and fundamental differences in government. The big thing is the call for the suffering and the dy^ng. Unreservedly I recommend the appropriation necessary to supply the American relief administration with 10,000,000 bushels of corn and 100,000,000 bushels of seed grain,*not alone to halt the wave of death through starvation, but to enable spring planting in areas where the seed grains have been exhausted temporarily to stem starvation. Many of us belong to that school of thought which is hesitant about alternig the fundamental law. I think our tax problems, the tendency of wealth to seek non-taxable investment, and the manacing increase of public debt? federal, state and municipal?all justify a proposal to change the legislation so as to end the issue of non-taxable bonds. No action can change the status of many billions outstanding, but we can guard against future encouragement of capital's paralysis while a halt in the growth of public indebtedness would be beneficial throughout our whole land. AgreeaDie 10 our expreaauu ucauc and in complete accord with the purposes of the legis'ative branch of the government, there is in Washington, as you happily know, an international conference now most earnestly at work on plans for the limitation of armament, a naval holiday and the Just settlement of problems which might develop into causes of international disagreement. It is easy to believe a world hope Is centered on this capital city. A most gratifying world accomplishment is not Improbable. Affairs of South Carolina.?The state of South Carolina never faced more difficult problems, economically than it faces at the present time. And for this reason the approaching session of the general assembly in which body these problems will exert an Influence, may become either the most constructive or, the most neglectful body of South Carolinians ever assembled in the state house. Because of agricultural conditions, in the greater area of the state, presenting difficulties unknown before, coming at a time when the furidamen4"1 f tnvntiAn /ImrnlAnArl n n Sharon, S. C. I ? J. Clyde Plexico A. B. Plexico J Uli JJIUUICU1 1/1 lUAanvu acute stage through pressing demands of progress, the next legislature will have its hands full. Wh le one element in the stnte cries out against the burden of taxation, falling upon lands unproductive under boll weevil conditions, another clement calls for greater expenditure, for schools and highways. There are even those who talk of great state bond issues for highway building and are prepared to press their argument. Those who study the situation realize that tho fundamental business before the next session of the general assembly is the revision of the tax system of tho state. Hut these same students of the situation have been urging that for several years without results in the general assembly, and it id possible that again they may march up the hill and down again. Because the state is really flaring a revolution in its agricultural methods, it is all the more important that its affairs, be set in order and its resources assembled for the light that is ahead. The state must make progress and it can afford to make progress, if its revenues are ilicri'uacu llliuii^ll ?III H|UIUUMV W.?tribution by all elements of property. Tho present condition can be made the starting point towards greater ' things in the state, if the representa' tives of tho people of the state, who assemble in Columbia this winter will fully comprehend their opportunity for i constructive statesmanship.
