GREEK LETTER "FRATS."
The esteemed Columbia State, out
of the abundance of its wisdom,
shows clearly to the unsophisticated
students of the State's university (we
mean the institution owned and supported
by the State government) how
easy it will be for ihent to' evade the
law of the land and maintain the organisation
of Greek letter fraterni
lies unaer uuicr namca uiai maj v*
may not smell better to the lawmakers.
And in so doing The State
has performed a real disservice to the
university and the students themselves.
Certainly it is not easy to
prevent boys or men from believing
(as The State would seem to wish
them to) that divine providence has
fashioned them from clay of a little
different kind from the common run,
because there wil lalways be fools
'who fail to heed the march of time
and thought, but it may be difficult
to prevent the taxpayers from refusing
to support an institution which
encourages such a spirit. This newspaper
is no enemy of the University. On
the contrary, it/ is solicitous for its
maintenance and improvement. If it
could have its way it would have the
university expand and progress, in1
/ 1
creasing its field of usefulness until
it could provide for every boy in the
State. But we are equally solicitous
that the institution be kept as free as
humanly possible from the taint of
%
cod fish aristocracy, which for so
long hampered it and prevented it
from fulfilling its true mission.
In the humble judgment of The
Dispatch-News the-: general assembly
was most eminently correct in barring
the snob incubators from the public
? /
institutions of learning. There is no
truer friend of the university in the
State than senator George K. Laney
of Chesterfield, himself a product,
and a creditable one, of the University,
and it was owing to his master
ful plea that the present law remains
in force today. The true friends of
the university will neither urge the
repeal of the law nor encourage its
evasion by the student body. f
NOT~FRIGHT^XED ?
It is often enlightening as well as
< amusing to occasionally look over the
flies of an old newspaper, where current
history is writ from day to day
and week to week. In making a desultory
excursion into the riches of
/ the files of the old Dispatch we came
across the following editorial paragraph
in the issue of January 27,
1904: *
>
The Mexican boll weevil may as
well pack up for a return to his ,
native haunts. The war against
him has begun and the sinews have
been provided by Congress, a round
quarter of a million dollars having
been appropriated by the house of
representatives for the expenses of
the campaign.
In this good year of 1921, just 17
years since the publication of the
above, we find that the boll weevil
was a "dreadful adversary" not to
be frightened by the mounting of such
"barbed steeds" as a "round quarter
of a million," though 17 years ago this
was no inconsiderable sum, and instead
of packing for the return trip,
ne nas sieaany aavancea, unin 10day,
like Sherman, he has "marched
to the sea," devastating, all before
him, and leaving ruin and trouble
behind him.
Let Mrs. Mary Graves Tell You Her
Poultry Raising Experience.
"Three years ago bought an Incubator,
this year I've made money.
Rats stole my baby chicks. Didn't
know until a friend gave me a cake
of RAT-SNAP. Next morning found
two dead rats in hennery. Kept finding
them. Suddenly they disappeared
altogether. It's the only sure rat
killer." Take Mrs. Graves' advice.

AS TO G. O. P.
Special to The Dispatch-News.'
Columbia, May 10.?Considerable
speculation has been indulged in
around the capital the past week as
to what course the national administration
will take towards affairs in
South Carolina. There has been considerable
talk of the formation of a
brand new Republican party in South
Carolina, with the backing of the administration.
Mr. C. C. Campbell,
an Ohioan by birth and a Republican,
who has been living in Columbia for
some years, and who has been engaged
in the lumber business, recently returned
from Washington with the
announcement that such a party was
in process of forming and that 4,000
well known white business men had
i
signified their intention of aligning
themselves with a Republican organization
which would eliminate the
negro entirely from politics. A mysterious
gentleman of high business
standing, never known in politics before,
according to Mr. Campbell,
would be the chief factotum of the
new party and dispense the pie which
will be handed out by the Harding
l
administration.
There was another story earlier
that John L. McLaurin of Bennettsville,
former United States senator,
who at one time had strong Republican
tendencies, under the gentle
name of "Commercial Democracy,"
would act as referee and name the
officeholders for South Carolina.
' Politicians, however, take very
little stock in either of these stories.
Their oDinion is thatN the Republican
party at this time, while anxious to
make inroads in the South, will run
pretty true to form. The "Old Guard"
is more strongly entrenched than
ever, and the "Old Guard" is strong
for keeping in the beaten path. It
knows the chances of organizing a
live party in South Carolina are slim,
and it knows further that the delegations
from this state to national conventions
have been useful for the
Old Guard's purposes in the past and
can be counted on in the future. For
these reasons most observers are
skeptical about the McLaurin and
Campbell stories and are inclined to
believe that the Tolbert wing of the
Republican party will hold its own.
At the same time developments are
being watched with interest. There
has been a good deal of running back
and forth to Washington among those
interested, but it will be a real surprise
to those who think they knowsomething
of the political game if
anything materializes from all of the
visits.
DEATHS AMONG
COLORED FOLKS
Hester Lewie, a highly respected
colored woman, wife of Ben Lewie,
died at her home near Lexington Sunday
and was buried at Bethel A. M.
E. church Monday. A large crowd
attested the high esteem in which
she was held. She had many friends
rt VM * + A A AAI AMA/1
wane auu tuiuicu.
Austin Lorick, a well known
colored man, died Sunday at
his home on the Hagermann place
and was buried Sunday at the Dreher
burying ground. His death -was sudden.
Lorick was well thought of by
both white and colored.
Lucy Smith, colored, was buried
Tuesday near her home in the Dreher
neighborhood in the Fork. She had a
large circle of relatives among well
known people of her race in the
county and was well thought of.
Laughing at Hard Times.
The good people in the boll weevil
part of the state are not sulking.
They feel blue, of course, but they
manage to get a laugh out of life.
One merchant told me that he had
sold nothing this year but a coffin?
and he hadn't got his pay for that.
Another relates that he had gone
to Savannah to sell the hide of a big
steer, an unusually large animal. Incidentally
he carried in his hand the
pelt of a coon. He got more for the
coon skin than he did for the ox
hide. Oh, yes, the farmer must take
his losses like a man, but that is one
thing that he can't understand, why
a coon skin is more valuable than an
ox hide, why an ox hide has no value
and yet shoes are not being given
away.?William Banks in The State.
For a Bad Cough.
When you can not sleep for coughing,
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It will allay the irritation of the
throat and make sleep possible. It
contains no opiate.
Garner Hill, Gladstone, N. J., Sells
Rat-Snap, He says.
*T sell and use RAT-SNAP. Like
to look any man in the face and tell
it's the best. It's good." People like
RAT-SNAP because it "does" kill
rats. Petrifies carcass?leaves no
smell. Comes in cakes?no mixing
to do. Cats or dogs won't touch it.

WITH JtiUtSH IN LiTKOAK
Washington, May G.?Rising to a
question of the highest constitutional :
privilege, Representative TinKnam,
Republican, Massachusetts, threw the
house into an uproar today over a .
demand for immediate consideration
of a resolution affecting the rights of
negro voters in the South.
The battle, mainly along parliamentary
lines, raged for two hours,
but in the end ,the proposal was rejected
on a point of order: by Representative
Mondell, Republican leader-.
Still determined to press the fight,
Mr. Tinkham appealed from Speaker
Gillette's decision sustaining the j
point of order, but the house stood
by, 283 to 46. The Tinkham resolution,
substantially the same as that
presented during cunsxut:ra.iion 01 uit:
reapportionment bill at the last session,
had been expected and Democrats
were ready to jump into the
fray. The Republican leader went
to the front, however, and won the
day alone.
As framed by the Massachusetts
'member, the resolution would have
directed the census committee to
proceed forthwith to make diligent
inquiry respecting* the extent to which
the right to vote is denied or abridged
to citizens of the United States,
prior to preparation of a bill for reapportion
rr\ent of the house.
V:In the course of a long argument
Mr. Tinkham declared the resolution
was in order ahead of all business,
that the . measure offered before
was never reported out by committee,
and that if referred again it
would meet the same fate. He demanded
immediate action, a proceeding
which Mr.. Mondell opposed on
the ground that if the Tinkham plan
should prevail members could come j
in any day with other complaints |
against enforcement of prohibition |
under the 18th amendment and thus
upset the regular business of the
body.
The only Democrat to break in during
the debate was Representative
;
Gallivan, Massachusetts, who wanted
to know how long Mr. Tinkham expected
to speak.
"I want to vote with him but if he
talks too long he may lose a vote,"
Mr. Gallivan shouted, and the house
roared.
Representative Garrett, Tennessee,
acting Democratic leader, sought recognition
as Mr. Mondell concluded
his answering argument, but Speaker
Gillett said he was ready to rule.
This was accepted as conclusive even
before the speaker began a long
statement, that the Tinkham plan
had failed.
It was largely on demand of Mr.
Garrett that' the house voted on a
straight out question of sustaining
the chair, rather than on a substitute
by Mr. Mondell to table the Tinkham
appeal. This settled the issue definitely
so far as action at this session
goes. Members said later the Gillett
decision probably would stand longer
than the lifetime of the average
representative.
Mr. Mondell, in quoting authorities,
recalled that a Republican house
20 years ago refused to rush through
a similar proposal. He declared the
Tinkham resolution was precisely the

Hen Mothers Young Pig
London.- -At a farm at Kelton Hill
a broody hen is mothering a young
pig. The latter, left a few days ago
without its natural protector, made
friends with the hen, which has a
nest in the piggery. The bird covers
the tiny pig, tucking it up completely
with her feathers. When the pig is
thirsty it runs across to the milk
trough, has a drink, and returns
quickly to the protection of its feathered
"mother."
