USE OF PENNANT ON WARSHIP J
Writer Traces Its Origin to Days ?
When' Vessels Were Generally f
Commanded by Soldiers. a
A contributor to Chambers' Joump.l c
Is authority for the statement that the c
naval pennant, or pendant, came Into r
use long before the days of Admiral t
Blake, who commanded the English y
navy In the war with the Dutch In the f
seventeenth century, we are told, when (
seamen were mere nobodle*, At that
time there were no such things as reg- j
ulaf men-of-war, and ordinary mer- t
chnnt ships were hired or commandeered
for use as fighting vessels E
whenever the necessity arose. The
requisitioned ships were commanded *
by military officers, gentlemen In ar- f
mor, who transferred thg slnglo-trnll
pennons borne on their lances to the s
mastheads of their ships. o
'In 'larger vessels or squadrons the v
commanders might be knights onaj a
knights banneret, who flew their swal- t
lowtnlled and square banners when c
they risked themselves aflont. Clolng p
to sea in those days was something of a
an adventure, especially If a man fell t
overboard In armor; but these em- o
blems of command lmve been handed s
down to posterity In the commodores' y
broad pendants and the admirals' ree- o
tonsillar flags of the present day.

Loans on Livestoj * Advocated.
Dr. W. K| Lewis, director of the
bureau of animal industry under the
United States department of agriculture
in ColumbiA, has Just returned
from a trip into a number of the
:oastal counties.
Dr. Lewis is vitally interested in
irousing the people of the state to
'he menace of the boll weevil, which
is invading the southwestren corner
?f the state. The invasion of this
?ost will compel the farmers to turn
'nm the cultivation of cotton' to livo- j
stock raising, as the presence of the
.veevil means that for many years,
>ncc the post has arrived, production
>f cotton will be practicaly impossi>le.
Land values will commit the state
o two distinct elTorts to meet the
emergency, ur. Lewis says that in
he lower half of the state the lands
ire cheaper and the growing of livestock
for beeves will be the natural
equence of conditions.
Inability to finance purchases of
tattle for fattening purposes is one
if the greatest handicaps the farmers
low face. Dr. Lewis says. To meet
his condition, it will be necessary,
le snys. for a few banks at strategical
lolnts to appoint a livestock expert
n their banking organization, which
vill take care of loans for cattle,
tanking houses in the West follow
his plan. *

senator Dial's Assignments.
Washington (Special).?Among the
committee assignments which have
been given 8enator Dial ot South Car
olina are two or three which will be
of special benefit to him in his official
work. These are postoffices and post
roads, the District of Columbia and
national banks.
The former ts especially important
for two reasons. Thb postoffice committee
of the senate is the one which
is just/ now putting legislation foi
new and good roads, into workable
shape. This committee also is the one
which handles all poetoffice nomina
tions and which makes its report tc
the senate after they have come from
the White House.
"I am especially glad to be on this
committee." Senator Dial said. "1
consider that the question of good
roads is one of the most far reaching
economic problems of the present day.
Unless we go forward in this movement
we must necessarily go backward.
"As a member of the postoffice committee
I shall use my best efforts to
see that the good road question is not
only brought to the front but kept
there alwnys.
