MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
NAMES GO ON BLACKLISTS
That the life of n congressman la no
sinecure la evidenced by the fact
that scarcely a member of the present
Congress la free from attack by
elaaa groups for voting contrary to
their wishes. The "blacklist" of various
organizations, urging the defeat
of members who voted "against our
interests," includes In one degree or
another virtually every senator und
representative. There is reason to believe
that candidates for seats held by
the members In disfavor stand no better
in the good graces of the organizations.
so thnt if the several active
propagandists hnve their way hardly
any one can be elected in November.
The "blacklisting," however, works

a candidate for the unfavorable
stand he has taken in the matter in
which it is vitally Interested, while
another group may he supporting the
same candidate for this very stand,
and still another class casting their
ballots for him because of his efforts
to benefit thell* desires.
The campaign by the American
Federation of Labor, led by Samuel
tlompers, to punish members of Congress
who would not follow labor's
dictates In their votes, especially on
the railway bill, is not faring very
well in the primaries. Thus far no
member of the house or senate who
was conspicuously picked out as a
"foe of labor" has been defeated for
renomlnation.
In some instances balloting resulted
exactly opposite to the desire of the
labor union. For example, Thetus
Sims of Tennessee.wbo was the dyedin-the-wool
government ownership advocate
in the house and introducedfor
the railroad men the "I'lumh'plan
bill," was slaughtered in his Tennessee
district by his party.

violently objected, was marked to he

Slate Highway Commission Comes to
Relief of Fort .Mill.
A Columbia news item states that
the State highway commission has
agreed to take over and maintain
the mile and a half of public road
l-etwocn Fort Mill and Catawba river
connecting wjth the concrete-macadam
road from Itoek Hill to the river.
No information was given in the
news dispatch as to how much work
the county would have to do on the
road before the highway commission
would accept it. hut at tire meeting
the commission held in Itoek Ilill a
few weeks ago when the proposal
was put forward that the commission
take over the road the impression
went out that a considerable
sum of money would have to be
spent in straightening the road and
building a steel bridge across the
branch near the river before the
county would lie relieved of the
road. Very little attention has been
paid to the upkeep of this road this
year and as a consequence it has
been in bad condition most of the
time. Recently, however, some of
the holes aid deep ruts have been
tilled, hbut the road yet kicks much
of being what a public road should
be.
