Jordan of Dillon, Presi-I dent of South Carolina Press association, united with Governor Robert A.! Cooper in inviting a representative' of each of the newspapers of South j Carolina to attend a luncheon in | Columbia on Tuesday, May 11. Mr. j Jordan is a member of the State. Executive committee which has active j management of the expansion cam-' paign which has been announced by j ~ i ? J tne soutn Carolina ucvciupmcui. board. Below is a portion of Mr. Jordan's remarks at the luncheon: Gentlemen, I have listened with a great deal of interest to what has been said here today. The impression that has been made upon me is that this is a great work which has been undertaken by a few patriotic men in South Carolina. I have been reading the literature [ which has been sent me from day to day, and, if the South Carolina Development. board can accomplish half as much as they have undertaken to a^nmnlish. the ueoDle. not only the! farmers, but the business men of all! | professions and industries, will have J been greatly benefited. | I am not sufficiently familiar withj , the subject to make any extended re-) ? marks, but, in glancing over the program that the development board has mapped out, next to the matter of j education, the subject which appeals t to me most is drainage and dra'nage projects. This is due probably to the i fact that I live in a section that is badly in need of drainage and I was raised in the lower part of this State. I realized years ago that the only way that section could be successfully developed was through drainage. My mind goes back to my boyhood: days. Twenty-five or thirty years) ago, I used to find in the negro cabins] two or three frogs tied to a bed post, j T ' ~ *"*4-Vsa -PvAOr I It W3S a supersuuuu lativ tuc xiv/ft j kept off malaria and all manner of; diseases. Science came along and told us that the mosquito transmitted mala-1 ria. As boys you and I sat on the, bank of a pool and watched the frogs devouring mosquitoes. We know now'that the ignorant negro was struggling upward to make living conditions better. Now there is no way of estimating what it has cost South Carolina to permit stagnant creeks and swamps to exist. If through the work of this board those swamps can be drained, if the low lands can be made more productive, that work alone will have accomplished something that will increase efficiency 100 per cent, and will add millions to the wealth of South Carolina. It is going to require a big effort to put things through, and I don't say that success is impossible without tii? assistance of the press, but the v/t?rk that these gentlemen have undertaken can be made a great deal easier if they can get the cooperation of ev?ry newspaper man in South Carolina. My friends, with the assistance of the Press, this work which has been imriaftalroTi hv rt few natriotic citi zens will be made easier of accomplishment, and 1 feel sure we will all giadly lend our assistance. ?? Z. F. WRIGHT TAKES STRONG MESSAGE The State, 27tn. The Newberry College club of Columbia held its regular meeting in Friendship hall Tuesday night, and a goodly number of the members were V t.< -U7\,;?U+ MaurKovvv ' jJZ'Cddli,. tj. J.-. V? ilgILt VA il w ll uvi i j ; brought greetings from the club at Newberry and extended on invitation to each and every member of the ; Columbia club to be present at com; mencement, and especially to attend the banquet to be given on Tuesday of commencement week. Mr. Wright spoke of the great good Newberry col| lege had done and the importance of giving young people an opportunity to get^a Christian education. i The club is doing something tangible now in the way of assisting Newberry and the young women and men who have an ambition and determination to get an education. A finance committee was appointed and plans will be worked out for carrying forward some beneficial work. The club contributed $200 to the support; of the college athletic team. It is j hoped that the plans now on foot will be heartily indorsed by the entire] membership. ,A good, enjoyable! meeting was held this time and those in the future are to be made? more so. Clemenceau Coming a* Screen Author Georges Clemenceau, "The Tiger of France," the strongest man of the world conflict who, although he has passed the allotted threescore 6nd ten years, still retains all the vigor of a roan in his prime, has put into his story, "The Strongest," which William Fox will present in its film form at the opera house on Tuesday, all the force, all the strength, all the j personality that made him dictator of j formo wlnVli thp Allies im-! LUC WVA AAAfcJ ?? posed on the Germans. Georges! Clemenceau knows the world, he. knows life. His own life has been a! struggle, continuous and successful,! against opponents of unusual skill and j resourcefulness. He has put into his one and onlyj novel, "The Strongest," which is a powerful story with a thrilling theme ?a story of France today?characters which he knows thoroughly, with which he has come dn contact, j They live, breathe, and have human j faults. Clemenceau does not make his hero a demigod who can do noj wrong, nor does he make his villain a' blackguard who can do no right.! There is good in the bad of the world, j and in making his only photoplay,' from his only novel, Georges Clemen- j ceau has kept this ever before him. Tnfamofmnallv fflmnns artists will! liitCi. liW4 f interpret the story which R. A. Walsh! has directed?the same Walsh who! directed "The Honor System," "Evan-| geline" and other great Fox successes, j THE MEANING OF THE FOOD SHORTAGEj We shall need now to conserve food and to preach increased food produc-| tion to a much greater extent than; during the war. Patriotism stirred the farmefrs then to do their utmost ^ nA nnnnt nnt fhp r?nst_ and patriotism! OI1U W Uii V 1AVV WUV x t brought about food conservation in; nearly every-home. But now the call' of patriotism is not so appealing, | though it is just as much needed. If j American people can not get food, or if they have to pay an ever-advancing price for it, there will be turmoil, food riots and anarchy to threaten: our government. The need of more) food production is clearly stated by j the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer-Sun,! which clearly senses the whole situa-j tion. In discussing this question the Enquirer-Sun says: "And yet the situation that con-; fronts the people, not only of the i O knf n-f ftio ontirp TlAtiorj. is1 OUUL11, LSl&U V/JL bav - , ? , serious. It would be useless to undertake to disguise the fact. No one can afford to close his eyes and refuse to see that the situation is serious. "Yes, we are aware of the fact, that there is much money in the j country. We know that the per; capita circulation is greater, perhaps, j than it has ever been in the hstory! of the nation, but that fact does not get us anywhere when we are con- ; fronted by under-production. The demand for the necessities of life is greater than the supply. Too many, people are undertaking to reap where they do not sow. There are too many consumers and too few producers, j "It doesn't matter how much money a ma^i may have with which! to pay for something if that some-j thing is not to be had. We have seen j this fact demonstrated during the past two or three years. "At one time wheat flour was so scarce purchasers were limited to so much, and it was the same way with sugar. At one time, for instance, it didn't matter if a man had a barrel j of money he could buy only three ! podnds of sugar. So it is not always j the case that the man with the money I can do all that he wants to do. I "It is a great problem that is confronting the country. It is the problem of production. "Unless there shall be greater production this year than indications now point that there will be, the people of the entire country are going to experience real hard times before another crop can be grown after the crop of this year has been harvested. By hard times, we do not mean a scarcity of money. It isn't going to make so much difference about the money part of the proposition if there is not sufficient supply of things jthat are needed. One Can't Buy Bread if There Be No Bread for Sale. "It is true that the man with plenty of money will he able to pay . the higher price that will be asked ' for these things as long as they last, j while the little fellow with only a ==f= J small amount will begin to suffer nrs1 "But unless there is a revolutio ! in the manner of doing things in thi ; country, it isn't going to be so grea ! a while before everybody?the ric as well as the poor?will begin to fet j the pinch that is certain to come. ! ATTACK ON SOUTH i BY REPUBLICAI | i Democrats Shout "Lie" at lllinoi Member But He Escapes Physical Injury. i P. H. McGowan in The State. ' Wa cIiititrtr>n. Mav 18.?The hous almost broke into a riot here todaj and for some time there was every ap pea ranee of serious trouble, whe Representative Madden, Republicar ; of Chicago, got the floor and denounc j ed Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jacksor ! and others who wore the Confederat uniform as traitors who tried to des troy the union. The trouble came about when Rep resentative Steadman of North Care lina, replying to Madden's interrup tioRs of a speech endeavored las Saturday by Upshaw of Georgia a which time Madden made his firs statement relative to Confederat soldiers. | Mr. Steadman denied that any sue] infamous name should be given th? Confederate soldier, especially men o the type of Lee and Jackson. H< o cnlonr^iH in renlv t< | luauc: u 1 Madden's attack. When Steadman had conclude! Madden took the floor and in some o: the most bitter words ever heard ii the house denounced Lee, Jacksoi and the Confederate soldiers in gen eral. Immediately there was a rusl of Democratic members from theii seats and Kepresentaxive numjue oj Missouri, ran for Madden. Th< speaker declared that members mus? remain in their seats. Instant^ when Madden had again repeated hi! word, "traitor" and said that h< apologized to no one for its* use there was a mad rush from th< Democratic side and at least a dozer members shouted "lie, lie, d?n lie.' Pandemonium broke loose and it was not until Republican leaders gol Madden back to his scat and demand ed that there be an end to his tali that a good sized riot was averted. There is severe condemnation oi Viai>A nivt- nn]^ int? v^iucagu mcmuci U^IE, UW by Democrats, but by practically ql Repub(icans also, first, because of hij preventing: Upshaw from making hi* speech in the hou^e Saturday to pen sion Confederate veterans and foi his attack on Lee, Jackson and othei Confederate leaders and soldiers Madden's remarks were the worfci ever uttered in congress against the Southern cause. "IS YOUR GIRL SAFE?" Dr. John A. Rice, pastor of Trinitj Methodist church, Sumter, preachec a sermon recently that is attracting attention. We have picked out a fev paragraphs from the published ser mon: "If the community encourages combing the hair in a certain way your girl will comb hers that way. h the community makes dresses in i certain way, your girl will make hei dress that way or there will b< trouble. No matter what it cost your girl must do as others^ do anc you must pay the bills. That gir must have things considered right b] those she goes with, which being in terpreted means by the community ai a whole. "You are aware of the rumor: current on our streets the last fev weeks. They disclose certain alarm ing symptoms of putrid social condi tions that demand instant and heroic treatment. ? "One of our perils is the automo bile. It is alarming to see a group o: a half dozen girls and boys staving through the streets at breaknecli sneed without a chaperone. It is ap palling to see a girl in. her teen! start to the country alone with 2 boy, who, like herself, is immature It is unspeakable to .see a girl sitting on the front seat of an automobile be> tween two boys while the back seal is vacant, her arms in the attitude o1 embracing both. It is unthinkable that girls out of our so-called besl families are allowed to go into grove! where automobiles assemble or else where under cover of night, to c.om< back in the wee small hours of th< morning with the blackness of eterna night in their souls; come back, I sayto go the rest of the long way in the grip of the consciousness of an hour*! moral shame. "I could speak of dress as anothei indecency. It looks as if women o: the land are losing, if they have no lost, the sense of modesty. Dresse: fashioned in the underworld of Parii to reveal rather than conceal, are n< proper patterns for decency. I "We have been hearing' rumor lately as to certain dances. Look a .that girl yonder; her head is fallinj on the shoulders of the man she i hugging to her bosom. The musi stops suddenly, she slowly raises he head and lets her hands down to he side. She has desecrated the holies thing a woman has in this world o any other world. She has tempte that young man, carried him to th j very gates of hell, and she hersel has gone there with him. Look a | that boy and girl reeling out of th 1 dance hall to the sidewalk, their arm I <*^>1 rttVipr. Look at thei again, as they are hugging and kissin on the street. Nobody may have see these pictures, but somebody sa^ ' something that suggested that sue things were going on. | "Men now may talk as they pleas< may suggest what thoir foul mind concoct and nobody objects, nobod criticises?there is no field of honor. Good Definition. | Teacher (to young Miss): "Pars the word 'kiss.' " j Young Miss: "This word ? nour but is usually used as a confunctioi It is never declined and is more con men than proper.
