Indianapolis News. Senator Nelson of Minnesota !j;. gests that the newspapers could save Ba great deal of paper if they would ^Reliminate altogether the pages now L devoted to sport. Undoubtedly they t?r?H snrrip of them misrht well re v VVUiUjl MAAV* v dufce the amount of space devoted to iihis department. But sports are news of abounding interest to many people. Life is not all politics, religion, fashion, science, literature, etc. The interest in the great yacht race next summer will be international. The press associations will carry the fullest accounts of the fight between Carpentier and Dempsey, they will do it because there will be a legitimate demand for them. Football, basketball, golf, tennis, and baseball all make demands that can not be ignored by papers that would serve " their constituency. The senator is demanding the elimination of sporting news and assumes j that because he is not interested in it \ no one else is. The loss would not be I felt by him. The problem, considered from the newspaper point of view, is not so simple. Nor is it simply a . question of ''giving people what they i want." but of printing the news. There are many people who will fol-1 low with great interest the fortunes i of their local ball club during the / coming season. Unfortunately there , are some people who read little else but the sporting page o? their paper. These would gladly consent to" the k suppression of all congressional news, -'1 J ~+- ?lnoou t Vi Alin uiai wuuiu i!vi v..>. resota senator. At the bulletin boards the baseball j I score commands a jrreat deal more at- j tention than the senate score and who j shall say, considering the number of j people interested, the number that it< affects directly and indirectly and j considering the comparative achievements of the two activities, it is not equally important? There were no doubt sports before there were senates and there probably will be sports after senates have passed.

WALKER WILL QUIT SENATE < i - 1 I Veteran Georgetown Lawyer Not to Offer for Reelection?Long Legislatuve Service. i ^ I ( i , The State. , Georgetown, March 25.?At a re- 1 cent meeting of the chamber of com- , merce, Senator L. G. Walker and i Representative H. L. Oliver were pre- , sent by special invitation to address , their constituents upon the acts of the general assembly at the recent |, session. |? Mr. Oliver spoke first. He said j that no former session had ever put j upon the statute books legislation of such magnitude or of such far reach- , ing consequence looking to the upbuilding and welfare of the state. Senator Walker gave a resume of j his long legislatuve service of 26 I years, declaring that he had endeav- j ored to reflect credit upon his county j, as its respesentative and senator, and /i for several years as president protem of the upper house. He believed that < he had never shirked or failed to do ; his duty as he saw it as a public ser- < I vant in all that time. Senator Walker i discussed state questions and local is-1 $ sues at length, told some amusing j anecdotes of legislative experience, j < and closed with an eloquent tribute ! to the people of this county, who had ; for so lone- reposed unquestionable j confidence in him. j Before concluding his remarks, I ( (Senator Walker gave his friends a dis- {1 j tinct shock when he said: "This is | ' I I my swan song."

Good this sale and hear t al Re* cent. Efficiency 'shows an annual loss to the Ameri :an cotton crop of around $75,UUU,300 from country damage. AH of this loss falls upon the shoulders of the producers. In addition to this the producer pays on every bale of :otton he sells marine insurance, the cost of which is deducted from the ariginal bid so that the loss in country damage to the producer is of course far in excess of the $75,000,000 per annum. While it is the general conception that the carelessness of the producer is responsible for all of this loss, for the purpose of ascertaining the true facts a most painstaking investigation has been made by this association; the result of this investigation has just been filed and it is found that the following causes contribute largely to country damage: (1) Cotton lying on the ground at the gins; (2) CottOn lying on the prround at the home of the producer; (3) Cotton lying on the railway platform for days and. weeks, unprotected, waiting for transportation; (4) Cotton standing at the compresses; (5) An enormous amount of cotton shipped to concentration points for storage standing for days, weeks and ?ven months on the ground, unpro :ecteci, tne producer paying <x storage charge on the same."

Columbia, March 26.?Should the nineteenth amendment be adopted before the next general election, the women will not have to pay poll taxes in order to be allowed to participate, according to an opinion rendered today by Samuel M. Wolfe, Attorney General, in answer to a letter from Mrs. Eulalie Salley, of Aiken, president of the South Carolina Equal Suffrage league. Mrs. Wolfe takes the position that, as the :aw requires I the payment of poll taxes six months I prior to a general "election, it would not apply to women because the law permitting them to vote would not have been passed in time. The attorney general suggests to Mrs. Salley that for women to be allowed to participate in the primary elections there will be necessitated a I change in the rules of the Democratic party, which could be made with slight modificaton at the convention, which meets here on May 19 JUDGE SEASE MAY SIT AT TRIAL OF GOSSET BOYS Columbia.
