The Washington correspondent of The Greensboro News sends his pa per the following interview with Con gressman W. F. Stevenson of South Carolina. How is it that you people decided to send Cole L. Blease to the senate '? "You have a Democratic machine in North Carolina, and know what it is," he replied. . "We have a like machine in South Carolina. 'Jimmie' -Byr-nor., we all like him and call him 'Jimmie', reached the conclusion that our Democratic machine had become moribund and that he would create a f new machine by running for the sen ate and getting elected. He was warned that the old machine was not I dead and that he had better not run up against it. "Byrnes took his friends out of I the old machine and defeated Senator I Dial. So when the showdown camel between Byrnes and Blease. th? old machine decided that Byrnes must be properly disciplined for his rash ness. No new machine and especially no new Byrnes machine could be tol- 1 crated in the Democratic party in South Carolina at this time. So part of th? conservative Dial people turn ed in and elected Blease by a narrow majority. Byrnes has to take his medicine and his lieutenants, some of I whom are back here in Congress, will have to take their medicine two years hence. "What Bk-ase will do when he gets I into the senate no one can predict, j He says he has quit drinking and gambling and har, joined the church. Anyhow the Democrats thought it was better to send him here than Byrnes with his revolutionary ideas! of a fife w machine for there is no fearj of a Blease machine.

HUGGINS Corner Lyttle and DoKalh at City Filling Station Dr. J. W. Payne, a prominent phy sician of Greenwood county who be lieves in goats as an investment and in goat's milk as a health-producing fluid, has received his second ship ment of fancy stock from J. B. Mc Laughlin, of Los Angeles, Calif., one of the leading breeders of Swiss Tog genburg milk goats in the world. Mr. McLaughlin produced Polly Mac, the jfamous world record doe that gave more than two gallons of milk a day, for which the owner refused $5,000, according to Dr. Payire. And now Dr. Payne is the owner of Kosemont's Rex Capricornus No. 7753, h royal son of JBoHy Mac, and with the blue blooded. *btfcR to head his ? herd of splendid does he feels that he has as One blooded herd of purebred regis tered- Swiss Toggenburgs as there is in America. Dr. Payne began raising goats on his farm at Epworth about four years ago when he pur chased his foundation stock from a prominent New York breeder, who by the way, offered $5t000 for Polly Mac. About a year later he replenished his stock with a shipment from San Francisco and now he has secured what he believes to be the blue rib boner of them with Rex. Dr. Payne is an enthusiastic breeder, who only deals in the best blooded animals ob tainable and he states that as an evi dence of the increasing popularity of the milk goat in this section where heretofore they have been so little known, Dr. Smith, the baby specialist of Saluda, N. C., had an experienced breeder from Erie, Penm? to bring: a good herd of milk goats down to sup ply his little patients with milk. Dr. Payne believes that the masses aro fast learning the great value of goat's milk as a superior article of diet because it has been found to be not only a delicious drink, but also easily and quickly digested and as similated and absolutely^ free from tubercular germs. ! * ' * ? ? - ^ i A skeleton believed to be that of King Richard the Third, who was killed at the battle of Bosworth Field, in Leicestershire in I486, has just been unearthed and handed over to ,,the Leicester museum.
