Sandy Hook, N. J., July 27.?De- i fender Resolute gave the British challenger, Shamrock IV, the worst! drubbing of the 1920 regatta in the v final race of the series today, nvin> ning boat for boat by 13 minutes and / 45 seconds?and the America's famous yachting cup remains American nmnertv. * ' - J ~ ? A rOvercoming a 40-secona leau anu. the advantage of a windward berth J which Shamrock IV had taken at the < start, the fleet defender held a lead of four minutes and eight seconds at the halfway stake of the 30-mile course, and crossed the finish line 13 .minutes and five seconds ahead. Including her handicap of six minutes and 40 seconds, which she did not j p^cnlute won by 19 minutes accu, T -and 4w seconds. T In capturing.ihe series and retaining possession of the America sxtrophy, Resolute had taken two races and won out by -, registering three .sttaight and impressive victories. Shamrock TV mjm the initial race when the de*ender was forced chit by . 1 an accident to-her rigging, and captured the second in a fiickle wind left Resolute becalmed most ofj *-- Krrl VUWw ? ?? the .way. Resolute .won tne uau ^ her time allowance of seven minutes and one secbnd,1'running a dead heat with the challenger. Her other two victories were won bbat for boat.' ; "Best Boat Won." . Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of the green challenger, voiced what appeared to be the unanimous verdict of yachtmfen who had seen the"five races when he declared tonight that /'the best boat won." When Resolute flashed across the golden finish line that the setting sun J riDDlinsr _wa ftaa iaia aowu wi jr - ~ . ter, Shamrock was a mile or more behind, her own great sails bellying "broadly, when the signal ball of "the committee boat dropped and the screeching whistles and sirens from the little fleet of spectators' craft proclaimed Resolute's victory. The beaten Shamrock swept quickly down the course, striving to shorten the intervening ^ip and salve as much as she could the bitterness of her defeat. But as if to emphasize the great difference in time between the two finishes, the flaming sun dropped like a plummet into the deepening: haze and a pale moon, which had been but dimly traced against the sky when Resolute finished, stood out with increasing radiance when Shamrock finally got over the line. Resolute by this time had described a great circle and had come back to the mark to see her rival finish. As the challenger crossed the mark ' -i. n ? _ _i ner crew lei; out inree ringing.cneers and the victor and conquerors responded with lusty cheers for Shamrock and her crew. Sir Thomas Lipton, who built the challenger in his itfurth . effort'to lift the bottomless old pewter mug that is the America's cup and take it back to its original home in England, turned away from his hUmble sailing beauty and sent his steam yacht Victoria full speed ahead to overtake and congratulate the Resolute's crew. He returned just in time to gee shamrock cross the line. The aged sportsman's gameness as he drew away from his own sloop to congratulate the winner elicited a salvo of cheers from those on board the spectator craft, and Sir Thomas responded as jauntily as if he had not seen his own fondest hope once 73iore baffled.

Birthday Celebration. Whitmire, July 27.?One of the most enjoyable social functions of the week was the party given by Miss Mary Metts to her% many trienas. j Games, of different kinds and dancing i were indulged in and enjoyed as only boys and girls of' this age are capable. The refreshments consisted of delicious^ cake and ice cream. The young people went home with enough happy thoughts and day dreams to , last them a week. Whynot do more to make life' pleasant for the young folks? Another pleasant occasion of the week was the musical gotten up by ^ Miss Mary Lou Douglass in honor 01 Miss Annie Barnett of Paeolet. Each of the fortunate young men escorted his partner to the movies. After enjoying a good picture they all assent' bled at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth t Douglass. Here Mr. Albright presid-j ed at the piano and charmed a'll jyith his music. The latest songs were sung and some enjoyed tripping the light fantastic toe. The young people enjoyed .meeting Miss Barnett ? j wHl attain gladden ourj arm uupc _ o ^ town with her preseniee. The choir practice was held this week at the home of Mr. E, E. Child. Here the members prepared a beautiful selection, which they rendered in the Methodist church at the Sunday morning service. Good music adds much to the church service#and many appreciate it quite as much as a good sermon. Perhaps the congregation would be larger if the music was really inspiring. Mr. and Mrs. R. L.

"Let me congratulate you upon | your slogan of 'Dollar Democracy.' j We want the public to know where i every dollar of campaign fund comes j from and where it goes, and later : challenge comparison wfah the enemy j with a result not to his advantage, j "The use of a campaign fund j which comes from sources unknown i and in amounts so vast as to be un- j believable, such as employed by our j adversary, is not good for American j institutions." The campaign in South Carolina ; to raise funds for the support of the ! national campaign is shaping up i rapidly. Money is being received j f/oni many sections of the state, j The county Democratic chairmen j Jiave begun to appoint solicitors and it will not be many days before several hundred dollars will be received each day. It is the plan to secure as much as $1 from each Democrat in South Carolina. "The dollar campaign/' said Mr. Sparks, "meets with the Approval of the national Democratic leader and there should be no hesitancy m giving \>n the part of the South Carolina Democracy."

Washington, July 28.?Unless the membership of the house- is increased from 435 to at least 500 to meet the increased population shown by the 1920 census, 10 states Will lose 3ne or more representatives, according: to Representative Siegel of New York, chairman of the census com-' whirVi will frame the new ap- j portionment bill. Those states are: j Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri, which I will lose two congressmen each; and j Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia, which will lose one congressman each. Mr. Siegel explains that if the house membership is retained at its present figure it will be necessary 1*) increase the population basis in each nryrn?.smnjil district beyond the' 211,000 or major portion thereof now fixed. If this is done, he says, the 10 states named will lose one or mtore of the present districts because their populations have not increased in proportion to those of oth-, er states. On the basis of the estimated population of 106,000,000 for the whole ; country in 1920, an increase of ap- j proximately 14.000,000 in 10 years, j Mr. Siesel says 65 or 66 new seats in j the house must be created if the 1U j states are to retain their present nu-} merical representation. While pre- J cdent warrants the increase, Mr. Sie- j gel declares there is strong oppjosi- j tion to it on the part of some of the; present representatives, while others j favor reduction to as few as 300 j members. Mr. $iegel expects the work of framing the new apportionment bill in accord with the new population to begin with the reconvening of congress in December and. he anticipates that the measure will be passed early in 1921. - ??/% 'it ( Every decade since Jtv.yu, witn me, single exception of 1840, the house! membership hss been enlarged to! keep pace with the growing popula-j tion. Now the house floor is crowd-; ed when all. members are present;: seats nearly fill the chamber; the old individual 'depks have been discarded and an increase in membership probably will have- to be solved by narrowing the width of the seats. Ten years ago the house membership was increased from 391 to 435 on the basis, of a population of 91,972,266 and; the only exception fo such a procedure occurred .in 1S4U " when 10 congressmen were knocked out by the apportionment, the membership being-fixed at 232 after having been 242 for 10 years. The last apportionment kept intact the numerical strength of all state delegations besides providing for certain increases, but even then several congres.Vnal districts fell short of the maximum basis vof 211,100 population. T"?J DDAAn PTVFR BRIDGE. 1 nn 1 UIWrn/ ni V Mr. Suber Seems to Think the Editor j Does Not Ksow Much About | Bridge Building. Editor The Herald and News: I note that you say the bridge across Broad river should be built where it would serve the greater number of people. This is right and exactly what we want.- But then you go on and say it should not be the purpose to build the bridge where it can be built for the least money and where the approaches to the river are the best. Allow me to say that in this you are lacking in the practical part. If the banks are not considered for the approaches and they put on low land when the river is up no one can get. to the approaches ana the water would soon wash them (the approaches) away and a bridge without approaches would be no more good to the people than a superintendent of education would be without schools or teachers. I am sure you would make a good superintendent of education, perhaps one of the best, but t am equally sure now that you would make a mighty poor bridge builder. You made me say in my letter that the people of Fairfield could cross the river at Shelton and reach the Columbia road within a mile. I said they could cross at Strother and reach it within a mile, j No not Shelton. For no one can hardly get to Shelton nor away from there at any distance and some are talking of putting the bridge at Blairs. Impracticable, for there is half mile ?f sand bar there 40 feet deep and a long pond between the hill and river that was once said to have no bottom. Anyway we want ki-Mtro in nr near the centre of OliC UX iu^v *? ?- ? the two counties. It can not be built | below Strother on account of the back water from Parr Shoals dam. Therefore Strother is nearest center point and Strother is the id^al place. It has ail the advantages. J. S. J. fibber. ? Pojaaria, Route 3. NO ADVANCE NOTICE GOV.

The governor has stated that he desires to have his address "live copy" in its news features as delivered August 7, without being discounted by advance statements. While some of his main subjects, like the league of nations, industrial affairs, campaign contributions and others are patent, the governor is keeping close counsel regarding their details. Also he has yet given no intimation \xfrether he would discuss prohibition Questions in the address. With the party platform silent on prohibition, friends of the governor . who have been associated with him v for years express the belief that he will not mention it in the speech of acceptance, but that, with what they say is characteristic fearlessness, he will have no hesitation in discussing the subject in his campaign speeches. Z^ecause of his newspaper training, the governor was reported today to , be making fast work of his address. But he is exercisiijg great care, as indicated by composition of a few of the main subjects in pencil. Length of the address was today said to be still problematical.

Ludendorff pleads that his message not fall on deaf ears. "Then it will be too late/' he declares, and the present civilization will crumble as did that of Greece and Rome. And the cause will be the o-btuseness of government and the lethargy of vthe burgeoise, as the latter always and everywhere liked to stay quietly at home en days of decisive events. "Bolshevism is a monster that must advance to exist It is advancing now and in a gradual progress from East to West and is crushing everything between the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic ocean. *"; j "The world at large must,, therej fore, figure with a Bolshevist. ad- , j vance in Poland towards Prague.

My warnings were a cry in the wilder1 ness. These- menaces are now a realj ity. Lenine has advanced his lines to the frontiers of China, Afghanistan* Persia and India and is now preparing to continue his victorious progress. "The prodigious combative resources of Bolshevist propaganda tackled both its far-flung fronts ltyig ago with perfect logic. "Poland and Roumania are under mined. The Bolshevist propaganda operates with more caution in Finland, Sweden^nd Norway; these countries expect to drop in tke lao of Bolshevism without noticeable effort.
