General Assembly composed of men
of vdrlous professions and occupa- ,
tions. While there will be many lawyers
in both the house and senate, a
majority of the membership, of neither
body will be men of the legal

other work in conjunction with their
farming interests.
In the next house there will be two
locomotive engineers, one railroad
conductor, one street car conductor,
two druggists, one lumberman, two
physicians, one manufacturer, one

- aald L. M. Massey, secretary ot the
association. "We had hoped to get
no average ot 200 -bushels per acre,"
he continued, "but the yield was much
leea than that. We attribute the
short crop to the encessive rains
which tell shortly after the plants

THE LATE w
Some time before he died in Washington
a few weeks ago, United States
Senator Tom Watson wrote for uis
psper, the Columbia (Ga.) Sentinel,
the following article, which he printed
under the headline "The Late:"
Reader, did you ever run over the
pagos of a magazine, scanning items
of news, dipping into heated contro*
versies, pausing at the love stories,
and suddenly find yourself at the last
page, *here the editor chronicles the
line ? 1
?> ! UV AUO 1AIICI
Who are "The LateT" They are the
men who have lived their part, and
have left the stage. They are the
dead. Last month they were full of
life ? working, quarreling, loving,
hating, scheming, dreaming, planning
for. indefinite futures, as though all
Time was theirs. They read the magazine
last month, just as you are dolug
this month. They scanned the
news, dipped into the discussions,
laughed at the Jokes, lingered with
the lovers, and sighed over the
chronicles of "The Late." Then they
closed the book?and now their litebooks
are. closed; and the yjoin the
lists of "The Late," which you and 1
are, this month, to read and siph
ovet. How sad it all is.
Last month here was a scolar, delving
deep into the hidden lore of granite
rocks, of dust laden manuscript,
of ruined temples, of monumental inscriptions
leading back into the hoary
ages 'of the Past?and now his nerveless
hands are crossed, and his eager
feet hurry no longer after knowledge.
Uist month he was a palpitating actuality,
all ablaze with hope and purpose:
this month he heads the list of
"The Late.''On
the other hand there was an
author, one who had long been suitor
to fame: one who had toiled nad
fought grim poverty and coid neglect
Year after year he had strug
giea upward to tne lignt?railing
back again with many a sickening
disappointment.
But at last, as the silver threads
began to Btreak his head, a sudden
sunburst of fame was his- The storm
lifted and the haven was there- The
wilderness ended and the labor of
isaval -was -ever- Pawrty IM aad
golden ducats rained. Neglect vanished
and th^ world crowded upon
him with plaudits, wiCh the eager offerings
of unlversab fame. All this
wab last-month. ?
Your heart went out to the stormtossed
mariner who had so Joyfully^
made port. Your hands clapped in
unison with si! the others to/ the
brave soldier whb had at last won
his fight ,
This was last month.
Where is the author now? Dead.
You will read his name in the li^t of
"The Late." His fame still rings
around the world; but, alas! his ears
are too dull )a hear. You may hand
him over so many crowns of laurel,
ever so many wreaths of flowers; his
closed eyes cannot see,. his frozen
hands cannot hold.
Yonder, again; was the statesman,
the politician, if you like. Last month
what a robust figure was his! How
he bustled, hnw ha ahnvari hnni tie
aspired, how heHntrlgued! With what'
immense vitality did he strive to lift
his voice above the other voices, his
head above other heads! What
schemes did (ill his busy brain!
Throughout all the walks of life there
was not a man more active, more rear
olute, more full of pluck and.ambition.
He clashed against bis toes
with a force that made the * arena
ring. He would shiver a spear with
any ohallenger "Who struck his shield.
Ardently he sought honors, fiercely
he oombatted opposition, tirelessly he
served friends?hoping that they
would serve him, in turn- '*
That was last month. All eyes followed
him as he gallantly rode down
the lists, armed, from golden spear
to plume-dreised helm, seeking in
honorable strife* to ' bear away the
prise, and live a space in the bosses
of bra#e men, in the smiles of lovely
women.
That was last month, and now It Is
all over. Death struck him as be
rode. The lance fell from his hand,
l^is good steed gallops on. riderless.
The brave knight will seek the prise
no more. His' name appears in the
list of The Late."

helped. We hare trodden down the
dead of last month: the living will
tread ns down, next month. Preach
peace as much as jron will and preach
love and charity* May their kingdom
come. May they rule the world.
They do not rule it now.
However moch we wish to disbelieve
it, the race is mostly to the swift,

nation oppresses the weaker; the

Practically the entire force of the

The West road hus been top-soiled to
a point in the Locust Hilt section
near the home of Mr. R. B. Hartnt*.

.euson made more than 3.000 gallons
f syrup and whose total will probably
reach the 4,000 marke before tk?y

of the Presbyterian church in Fort

churches throughout the county. A
minister of the Gospel who preaches

he is generally regarded as one of the

that heard his sermons at Sharon
attest his popularity with the
people of that section.

Watch Ohio Cou? Back.
With election uay almost at hand,
says a Washington special to The
rTimes, the prospects ot a great Democratic
victory* which were bright
'from the beginning of the campaign,
have become a certainty. The Republican
leaders in charge of the machine
can't find any place to park.
The retolt begun by the progressive
Republican States has spread to rock
ribbed Republican States and the latter
are now also in revolt. The ouly
question now is the extent of the
Democratic victory.
In the president's home State, Ohio,
the Republicans will get one of the
w.orst trimmings of their, career.
Everything indicates the reelection ot
Senator Pomerene by a big majority,
the election ot the State ticket
and a Democratic representation in
the next house of representatives that
will be a surprise to the rest of the
country, despite the extraordinary efforts
made by the Republicans, who
huve filled the State with thqir topline
speakers and flooded it with
money.
The manufacturing sections of New
England will help swell the Democratic
victory. The. farm States will
return the same verdict as the manufacturing
States. The farmer has
been trnly described as "gritting his
teeth and biding his time." In the
great business centers, business men
are turning to the Democratic party
for relief from the odious Pordney
tariff which threatens business conditions
everywhere- In fact, no element
of the American people is satisfied
with the present Republican Congress
.
In almost every State the campaign
has been fought out upon the leading
domestic issues of internal and tariff
taxation, at which the people have
arrived at an understanding by sad
experience as well as educational
propaganda; upon extravagant expenditures
and reckless appropriations;
upon the inefficiency and incompetence
of the existing Congress
and the failure of both the Congress
and the administration to keep
their election promises; upon New'
berryisin and the many other scandals
that have dlurrarAS th a loffltlotlva
, aud administrative records of the
party In power.
In the last extremity Republicans
of the stripe of Phil Campbell of
Kansas, who has Just been repudiated
by the dEtepptolleans of his own congressional
district, are seeking to
make it appear that the Democrats
are not trying to carry the house of
representatives. This of course 19
pure mendacity and one of the last
ruses of an already defeated Republican
organization.
The signs of Democratic victory
are everywhere apparent. The people
are disgusted with the Republican
do-nothing Congress and dissatisfied
with the shiftless, drifting pourse of
the administration. They will make
tnat disgust and dissatisfaction manifest
at the polls on November 7.
French to Explore Sahara Desert.
An expedition into the heart of the

by white men, is toeing planned
in Prance, where the p>oject is
arousing keen interest in scientific
circles. Speedy tractor automobiles,

Under the preliminary arrangements
the main expedition will start
about December 1 and will follow th?

LIQUID FOOD SPECIALISTS.

The Volstead act has hatched a ]
brood of specialists in liquid food; in
one respect these birds are wise, they
know it pays to advertise. Wherever <
I may chance to look, in paper, mag- <
azine or book, these hawks are try- )
ing hard to whet my appetite for \
somethig wet. Regardless of the way A
I feel, or bow I fill my leather peel, <
If nty complexion's green or pink, 1 '1
am assured that I must drink a pint i
of this, a quart of that, to make me .
tnin or n\nxe me rat. Whatever my
condition is I need some new and
potent fizz that will relieve my aches
a"hd pains and clean -my grates and
water-mains- They tell me when
I've filled my tank with some concoction,
brown and rank, I'll lose my
calm and thoughtful miei\ and go
and gambol on the green- Instead of
walking slowly round I'll caper like
an unleashed hound. My life will ^be
as full of joy as when 1 was a bareicot
boy and chaperoned a pair of
mules among the burrs and cactus
stools. They do not care u tinker's
d what sad distemper pesters me. if
I'll absorb their fluid cheer, I'll
scamper like a yearling steer. 1 may
be such a fearful wreck that nothing
works except my neck, but if I'll drink
the stuff they sell I'll promptly strut
forth sound and well. Today is not
like yesteryear when men could buy a
keg of beer to put some tallow on
their slats, or drink champagne or
rough-on-rats as they saw fit; those
days are fled and we drink mustang
oil instead. Along the dry and dusty
roads where men must tote their
weary loads, no moist oasis bursts in
view, well stocked with ice and
mountain dew, but rows of bill boards
tell with pride about the worth of
or&nge-ide. We buy a barrel of hornet
juice to wake us' up but, what's
the use? The old kick simply isn't
there and so we moan and tear our
hair.

ROW OVER "RINGERS.**
Rock Hill and Chester Football Play*
erg Said to Ke Ineligible.
' There's a big row brewing in the
Catawba High School Athletic association,
it was learned Monday night,
and a smouldering volcano is likely
to erupt any minute, says the Yorkrille
Enquirer. Probably it will erupt
along about Friday, when Yorkvilie
high and Rock Hill high are scheuuled
to play football here. Other
schools in the association are complaining
more or less about -theater
and Rock Hill. The charge is going
the rounds that both football teams
Include several "ringers," or boys
who are really not eligible to play
high school football. Under the rules
jf the association, u player must bo
in school taking at least four studies
lor u period of 40 minutes a day
each. He must be under 21 years of
age and he must have en rolled us u
student 30 days before the football
season opens.
According to some of the high
school students, Hock Hill and Chester
are not living strictly up to the
lules. Two of the members of the
Hock Hill team, it is cluirged, were
lormerly enlisted iu the United States
navy. One fellow, it is claimed, hus
a job with an express company in
Hock Hill und is being paid to go
to school and play football. Another
player, and a peach he is, b the way,
is a Fort Mill lad who was brought
to school in loock Hill this fall just
to pluy football. It is charged thut
Hock Hill students are taking turu
about boarding him. in their respective
homes and he is being paid
good money to pluy football. This
man,, it is claimed, is a professional
athlete and un ex-soldier who tried
to land u berth on the baseball team
of the Charlotte club of the South
Atlantic league lust summer. And he
is bound to be more than 21 years of^ ?
age, is the claim.
TlidSdory is tb?t Chester is equally
guilty. It is claimed that one member
of the team was brought to Chester
from Great Falls just to play football,
and there are two or three others
whose eligibility is questioned
E. A. Montgomery, superintendent
of the Yorkville school, said yesterduy
that he hud informed H: C. Burts,
superintendent of the Rock Hill
school, that proofs of eligibility""!)*
each Hock' Hill player would have to
be submitted to him before the game
here Friday. Mr. Montgomery said

Hill would not be ullowed to play
against the locals under any circumstances
So much for that
Tho "big two" of the Catawba association
this year are Rock Hill high
and Chester high The dope here is
that when the two elevens meet in
Rock Hill on November 10 nothing
will be said about eligibility, because
both are guilty of playing "ringers."
rhe big idea with each team, or rather
each town, is to beat the other,'and
contracts, rules or regulations of the
association are merely scraps of paper."
But Fort Mill is sore about It.
Yorkville is core about it, und so are
itber schools in the association. The
result of it all may be the dissolution
