DeLoache, Jr., Mgr. HALF AKK FARMERS Fifty IVr Cent of General Assembly Come* From The Farmer* One-half uf all the member* of the South Carolina state legislature are farmer*, a compilation shows. Of the 40 .senators in the state leg islature, 18 are farmers, and 08 out of the 1 21 members of the lower houM,? list themselves as agricultur ists. A few divide their time between farming and banking, farming and insurance, or some other profession or occupation in addition to their farm interests. Iowa with a farm population of 10 per cent has members in its legislature membership of 158, the highest proportion of any of the states studied. Pennsylvania with its H per cent farm population, has On* ly If) farmers in its legislature out of a total of 258 members. Mrs. Mabel A. Gillespie, of Gretna, a mem ber of the Nebraska lower house js the only farmer's wife on record hold? ing a legislative job. The ratio of representation of far mers in congress is lower than the average found in the state legisla tures.

M rs, Burnett has been superintend (lit of nurses for about two year^r She was the center of -a controversy which raged here for some weeks, a petition being circulated among phy sicians of the county protesting against what they termed her undip lomatic methods of handling patients and her "discourteous" treatment of physicians attending cases at the hos pital. The storm subsided after a few j weeks and no revival of it has been I reported. Killed On Crossing Bennettsville, July 22. ? M. B.

Clarence Da r row Clarence Darrow came into Tennes see from the notorious Leopold* Loeb trial with a reputation as a great criminal lawyer; supposedly a man of ability, pai.se and brains, lie will leave the little town of Dayton, where hr has exhibited for two week#, known of all men to bt< a mediocre, irritable, quarrelsome law>Vr. He Came into a country of plain folks of the pioneer type, wholesome and cordial to their guests, direct and outspoken in their beliefs. He mis took their simplicity and deference for weakness of character, and per* baps for ignorance, or lack of a senso of the consideration due them.j by those who might entertain views contrary to their views. He came in intolerant and arrogant, imjjft tient to annihilate his opponents fend change the habit of thought of a commonwealth, ll' Darrow is capable of further enlightenment, he should leave Ten nessee u man of broader understand ing and with a new appreciation of the character of the people who have contributed most to the building of the nation. He dug into some of the bedrock. Coming from the gang ridden, thug-infested city, of Chicago into the simplicity of Tennessee life in a small town, it is not surprising that Darrow had to be taught that . even among very simple folks, as he might have judged them, there is a very clearly definite sense of the fitness of things. If Darrow is a : man cjf any capacity he will ponder j over his Tennessee experience. As he . stands today he just isn't anybody. And the great Chicago lawyer met his Waterloo in a little country court down in Tennessee, where he came in contact with a gentleman judge. ? Spartanburg Herald.
