STEVENSON GIVES REASON FOR CHANGE President's Measure Does Not Disturb Tirre Zones Observed by . Railroads. xt 1 n?? 1NCW5 <2I1U V/UiUllCX. Washington, Aug. 19.?There was only one change in the attitude of the South Carolina delegation today in the vote overriding the president's second veto of the bill to repeal the daylight saving law, as compared with the attitude of the delegation on th? first vote, July 14, when the | house failed to override. Representative W. F. Stevenson voted to sustain the first veto and today voted to override. Representatives Whaley and Nicholls, who voted in July to override, were absent today, but ^ wpre both Daired in favor of overrid ing. Congressman Stevenson gave the following explanation of his apparent change of view: "The senate rider on the agricultural appropriation reported the established time zones to which the railroads were required to conform. The present bill does not disturb the/zones, retains a part of the former act that is good and merely repeals that part which requires the clock to be turned forward in April and back in October. The reason this affects South Carolina is that the Seaboard, the Coast Line and Southern railroads all Dass throusrh Columbia. The Sea board Air Line changed its time at ? Columbia, the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern changed their time at the Savannah river, eighty-five miles west, all the territory between Cow lumbia and the Savannah river. Under the old custom we had had three , kinds of time?sun time and two .kinds of railroad time. Under the zone system all the railroads have to change at the same place and con* fusion does not occur." Mr. Stevenson will speak at a barbecue and public roads and cotton organization rally at Winnsboro next JL" X iUl*J The Printers of the Ante Bellum Times. By F. H. Gerk. Dear Reader: Our last remarks had reference to-the old printing office which had been our habitation > over half a century ago. A more substantial edifice has taken its place, which is quite commodious, and presents a handsome appearance. The old printers, of whom we love dearly, have long ago disappeared from our view, and there is nothing left but the pleasant memories of the past. The work that had been accomplished by these veterans years ago is still bearing some fruit, though in times past they- labored under disadvantages. Even the newspaper, though it has changed its name on several occasions, still shines in illustratious splendod today. ? The name of Dr. J. J. Bonner has long been at the helm in journalism, i It seems to us that during his career he had a two-fold purpose in view? namely, being at xne neim in journalism and a noted educator, besides being a distinguished misiter of the ggospel, ha wielded a great influence 'iiir.cng all classes of people which will go down to posterity for ages to come. Starting out on the Erskine Miscellany, then the Due West Telescope, and finally the A. R. Presbyterian, which is the organ of that denomination, is still continuing its weekly visits in many homes, which . is always hailed with delight. Dr. Bonner, in conjunction with others, made a success of the newspaper, and their untiring energy deserved some praise from the host of readers who peruse the sacred pages of a religious newspaper. No doubt there are a host who derived some benefit from the newspaper under Dr. Bon* ner's guidance, for it contained such beautiful thoughts from his facile pen, for he was a man with a brilliant mind, and he had no peer in the field of journalism. When the Due West Female col* lege was established in our young days Dr. Bonner was elected its *irst president and remained in this position until he was translated. Not only conducting tne duties ot an editor, but likewise he took a deep interest in educating the female sex who are today inhabitingg our Southern land. it was a sad day when Dr. Bon. ner's life work came to a close. He ' was instrumental in doing a good work and while he was an instrument in God's hand he accomplished wonders for the Master's kingdom. Even while he was president of the Due West Female college, in our young Why People Buy Rat-Snap'in Preference to Rat Poison. rn RAT-SNAP absolutely kills rats and mice.

We hope that his sun did ' not go down under a cloud, and like ; Job of old, after serving his time and generation among his people, he j jwent down to the grave like a shock ,] ! of corn fully ripe which cometh in in i its season. When Dr. Bonner laid aside his pen, which had been wielded with so j ; much power and success, after a life; ; well spent in instructing the masses, j : then there came others upon the i ! field to engage in literary work. The ; j name of Dr. W. R. Hemphill was fa; miliar to many in the A. R. P. church 5 j in our young days, and his articles j ; over the nom de plume of "H" in the j i Telescope always had a conspicuous j place in the newspaper. I; | Time has made many changes in j the last decade or more. The old i | printers, where are they? Even the|: i landmarks have passed away. Now j : we are confronted with so many au-1 tomobiles, flying and talking ma- j I chines, lynotypes, and other devices, ! which show very plainly that we are I ; living in a progressive age, and that 'wonders never cease. And the power of the printing j press is still going on sending its lit- j | erature to different parts of the j globe, and in the meantime enlight-!. | ening those who remain in darkness ! : with the glad tidings of salvation. j I All hail the printers of the ante} ! bellum times. We no more hear their j voice like we have in the olden times. Thy footseps we no longer see. And like the old soldiers who have passed beyond the meridian of their lives ?' here, have pitched their tents on fame's eternal camping ground be! fore they enter those Elysian fields, j Due West, S. C. i HARD TIMES AHEAD j FOR PROFI i "1 c i Committees to Name Fair Prices on j Food?War on Hoarders?State j' wide Action Begun. i I The State, 19th. Effort began last night at the fair! price for food and articles of wear I meeting are expected to round up the , hoarders and profiteers in Columbia f 'and establish prices on all goods that ' 1 will be fair to the purchaser and seller at the same time. The meeting was called by Frences H. Weston, \ district attorney, in order to arrive , at some means of curbing the profit-1 eer and hoarder and to see what could be done towards reducing the , cost of living. After the purpose of the meeting had been explained by Mr. Weston | he severely arraigned food hoarders i and characterized them as would be | producers of a revolution in America. ! The profiteer came in for some hard j blows from the district attorney. He i said there were merchants in Colum- j bia today who were charging exorbit-' ant prices for their goods and others ; who were hoarding in the expecta- ! tion of fleecing the public. Mr.: Weston said he received r*ports from ; j four sections of South Carolina yes- j I terday that sugar was being sold for : I ->?v>+o o UTVIOTI I for lnnrl was ?*\J a y VU1AU M vw.1. T. , sold at wholesale in Columbia yes- j terday for nine cents a vpound. He j was most severe in his criticism of j such merchants and said the federal! government was going to prosecute these men relentlessly. Mr. Weston said he called the meeting in an effort to protect the merchant who was i dealing fairly with his customers as l i well as the man who bought. After considerable discussion from . the floor a fair price committee on foodstuffs and another on shoes, j J clothing, wood and coal and rents j was nominated and unanimously J elected. These two committees are to investigate goods said by the mer- ; chants and name what they consider ! prices just to all concerned. They will be backed by the federal agents, ' but themselves will have only a con- j ciliatory duty in the hope of arriv- j ingg at a fair price for the goods of- i fered and to put the profiteer out of j 1 Dusiness. The committee on foodstuffs is composed of J. E. Timberlake, chairman; T. B. Pearce, J. B. Penland, S. L. Montgomery, J. D. Perry, William Stork, Mrs. Carrie F. Brice, Mrs. William Houston, F. H. McMaster! and Thomas F. McNally. The com- ! mittee on shoes, clothing, coal, wood ' and rents as elected last night is com- j posed of A. F. Davis, chairman; W. D. Lever, J. C. Ccpeland, Sol Kohn, ' A. S. Manning, ?Jrs. F. S. Munsell, : ! .John L. Davis and J. M. Bateman.; 'These committees will meet ir. the' ! city hall th's afternoon at G:o0 t ; o'clock to arrange for their first j price suggestion and to complete dtj to be ioiJowed in their investi- ; ' gaiion. j | A feature of the meeting wis op position by John Hughes Cooper, who was against the idea of publishing the fair price lists as it might hurt merchants who were innocent of wrong doing. Mr. Cooper wanted to see the profiteer do\Vned, but did lot like the plan put forward last night. F. S.

Fie thought labor was the cause of the high prices. Thomas F. McNally took exception to Mr. Terry's words and said, "If that is the kind of a meeting that is going to be held, why excuse me," whereupon he left the hall. Mr. Terry moved that the meeting go on record as favoring a 25 per cent, profit for wholesalers as a maximum^ His motion was seconded. "iUfflBDH W. N. Graydon said if the - ? ......1 J A O aittorney wuuiu uiu^eiutc <* half dozen profiteers and hoarders and place them in the federal prison it would do more than appointing a thousand price committees. He was roundly applauded. All former iood administrators have been called back to duty and are expected to hold meetings in their counties similar to the one last night. The hoarder and profiteer will see little rest as indications now point. F. A. Davis, acted as chairman of the meeting and A. D. Oliphant as secretary.

You can rely r>n fVipir statements. Mrs. S. Thompson, 512 Wright St., Newberry, says: "Too much heavy work and lifting brought on a bad case of kidney trouble and broke down my health several years ago. If I tried to straighten up after I bent over, a pain went through me and almost took away my breath. I got dizzy occasionaly and would almost fall to the floor. Everything would get black before my eyes and I could hardly stand. Nervous headaches bothered me and I was so tired morn ings, I could hardly go. All this, together with my kidneys not acting as they should, kept me in pretty bad shape. Hearing of Doan's Kidney Pills at the time, I got a supply ut Gilder & Weeks Co.'s drug store ar.d they relieved me from the first. I kept taking them until I was entirely rid of the trouble and I know they are just as represented." COc, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. j Stomach | Out of Fix?
