STREET MKETIN'U View* On I'olitlcH Prevented By National Representative* (By J no. K. Au!l.) Columbia, Aug. 15,?Startling evidence of the increasing intere^* t the people of South Carolina in national politics and policies, and their growing determination to make the voica of the State felt in the national Democratic convention and the selection of national candidates, was given at the big annual gathering at Jolly Street, in Newberry county lust week, when addresses were made by United State Senator Blease and Congressmen W. F. Stevenson and B. B. Hare, with Congressman Fred H. Dominick presiding. South Curolina has total representation in the Congress of nine?two senators and seven members of the lower house?and four of them were at this State-wide assemblage, which included people from several counties besides Newberry. In fact, there was somebody there from neurly one-fourth the counties of the State. From this gathering, fed from other expressions which are regarded as representative of public opinion, the prediction is made that, unless there should be a sweeping change of sentiment, South Carolina is through with instructed delegations to the national convention. Certain it is that Senator Bleaue expressed the conviction of the Jolly Street meeting, including more than 2,000 . voters, when he said he wanted to see an uninstructed delegation chosen by the next State convention. Nothing could ever be accomplished by South Carolina or any other State, he pleaded, by sending what he termed a "hogtied delegation." It may be noted, however, that the people themselves, however overwhelming their seittlment for or against a proposition may be, can never control their State convention unless they attend the club meetings and send to the county conventions men who represent that sentiment?for jt is the county conventions, made up of delegates from the precinct clubs, that decide the complexion of the State convention. The farm relief measure which was passed by the last Congress and lulled by the president's veto, and which will bob up in one form or another during the next Congress, was touched upon in the speeches. The South Carolina delegation split upon this .aad.it, U-4L.xaincidenca that the senator and the three members of the house who wene present were all among those who had voted against the McNary-Haugen measure as it passed and went to the president. Congressman Steyensoru who is a member of the banking committee of the house, discussed the banking and financial problems of the country, along with agricultural needs, and Congressman Hare, with whom agricultural needs are always uppermost, discussed this phase of national legislation, in connection with the tariff and taxation. Congressman Dominick, was in his home county and was presiding, did not jnake a speech, but his views upon the various questions are well known to the people of the State, and he has been a consistent opponent of the so-called farm relief measures since they were broached, having taken the position that it meant the placing of agriculture under federal control, with federal agents and snoopers going around interfering with the farms, ?'?d thut the measure was nut only wrung in principle, hut would be of nun to the Southern farmers, who would have negligible representation upon the administrative board. Congfc-Asman Dominick is chairman of the South < arolinu delegation jn the house, and a member of the judiciary cpmmittee. Senator Ulea?e, touching upon foreign relations, and reiterating his position that the Allies should have been held to the payment of their war debts dollar for dollar, prophesied that war with Mexico, sooner or later, was inevitable. "In dealing with thJ Latin-American nations of the world," he sakl, "mark this prediction: Unless America, dealing with them fairly and justly, holds them at arm's length, they are going to prove menace to oui nation, and as sure as you are living, sooner or later the United States of America is going to have to whip Mexico, and it had just as well go down there now and do it, and get through with it, and take charge of her, as to put off the evil day and let it get worse and worse." Turning from national polities and political economy to yet higher things, Congressman Hare was the speaker here Sunday night at St. Paul's Lutheran church. The services were under the auspices of the men's Bible, class. Mr. Hare is as good religious speaker ad he is political speaker. He is a graduate of the Lutheran college at Newberry. Snake Battle To Death McGehee, Ark., Aug. 15.?Both combatants in Arkansas' first snake fight have passed off the stage. Battle wounds which each inflicted upon the other during 20 minutes of combat in a tented area before a large crowd here last week resulted in the death of both snakes, a six-foot rattler and a three foot king snake. The rattler, to which the crowd awarded the decision, was the first to die. Then a few hours later the king snake breathed its last. The snakes struck each other several times during the fight whic!\ was staged after the reptiles had been captured during the recent flood. Now We'll Ask One Or More Do you think it will ever be possible for South Carolina to elect a really successful, outstanding business man as governor of South. Carolina?^ Do you think South Carolina will ever make any real progress so long as practically all of its officers, from governor down, are elected purely on a basis of the personal vote-getting powers of the candidates for the various officers? Do you know that we haven't a single official in our state administration who is there for any other reason than that he wanted the job, and not because he had any especial qualifications fitting him for it? Do you know that inefficiency in government is costing this state millions of dollars each year? Do you know that we have a tax system in this state that in nothing more than a make-shift? Do you know that we haven't as many as a dozen outstanding, successful business men in the membership of both housq^. ,of our general as-1 sembly ? Do you know that the biggest concern of the majority of our office holders is being elected the next time, rather than what they will do for the weal of the state while serving their present term? Do you know that conditions are not going to be improved in this state until we begin electing men to office in this state who ard as big as the office to which they are elected? Do you khow that while Georgia has a millionaire governor, it would be impossible to elect such a successful business man in South Carolina? Do you know that there are several states in the Union, notably Ohio and California, that are getting more for their tax money than is South Carolina? Do you know that the general assembly has never made a real honestto-goodness effort to solve our tax problems? Do you know that most members oi the general assembly, when voting or any measure, are guided more by how the vote will affect their personal fortunes than they are by how it will effect the state, for good or ill ? Don't yon think is is'about time tc elect a governor of thp character anc standing and success of Ben F. Geer A. Foster McKissick, David Coker o: any one of a dozen other outstanding business men in this state who mighi be named?not aa^a coattail swinger or as reprosentating any ism or partj or clique?but 'for the good of th< state and for your own personal be neflt as" every one else would be ben efitted??Yorkville Enquirer. ?

This refers to the Forxi plants, which, for several months, have been practice II y idle so fur as production of passenger automobiles is concerned. The recall is being sent out and thousands of workmen soon will be on full lime. These skilled and unskilled men have had comparatively idle time since the beginning of the year with an average of two or less days each week, and in thousands of cases no employment at all. Present indications, however, are that within the next few weeks?surely not later than October 1?in excess of $1,000,000 u day will be added to the industrial |>uy rolls of this great au-' tomobile city. This means the Ford industries will climb to the top again with approximately 150,000 employes. I \ Many other sections of the country will feel the effects of it in all lines j >f industry, trade and business as soon as the renewed buying force of the army of Ford workmen is un-1 leased. This, coupled with the fact that General Motors is maintaining a pay roll of approximately $1,000,000 daily in Detroit and its environs, should have a most stimulating effect on business generally. Just when the new line of Ford cars will be known on the market is not known. Officials will give no hint, saying they do not ktxow. This undoubtedly is true, for from sources all except official comes the statement that the change from the well-known model T line to" something radically different is conceded to be the most gigantic assignment ever given to a comparatively few automobile engineers. Here and there, it is said, there is a difference of opinion between Mr. Ford and his engineers. This requires adjusting, with, perhaps an entire change of machinery. Other problems must be adjusted, tried out and accepted or rejected, and many millions of dollars' worth of machinery made and placed and millions more junked. It Is estimated Ford is spending on an average of $1,000,000 a day in his effort to hurry his new lin'e of cars to completion, and while this is being done another $1,000,000 is being practically lost to labor, merchants and other industries. During1 the last month more thun 25,000 names have been added to the automobile pay rolls in this city alone, and most of these workmen have been absorbed by the Ford Plants. Ah soon as the flew car is announced capacity production is assured for the remainder of the year at least, and will run to about 7,500 daily. Curtailed activities of the Ford company since the beginning of the year have had a material effect on practically all lines of endeavor in Detroit. Thousands of men who have left the city and others are existing as best they can until the big whistle blows. Many Ford workers have lost their homes on account of being unable to keep up payments because of enforced idleness. The lure of high wages, however, will be the magnet to draw to Detroit an army of workmen greater than the demand will be even withg the Ford plants wide open and even now employing agencies here are swamped with applications, aTTd-everj^effort is heing made to eulighten outside 'labor as to existing conditions. Belief that about October 1 will be the final date set for production to start is supported in the fact that Ford officials have requested the de partment of street railways to aug ment car service "in the near future because of unprecedented activities in both plants." As a result of this tip, Detroit pluced orders for 125 new street cars?at $14,000 per car. A Sufficient Excuse The excuse that prospective jurors give in order to get out of jury service are varied and often unique. A rugged mountaineer was among* the talesmen in a Tennessee court who asked the judge to relieve him from serving in a case in which a woman was charged with moonshining. "But what reason have you for dodging your duty?" the court asked "I ain't trin' to dodge no duty," was the reply, "but I jes nacherly be lleve it wouldn't be safe." "That's nonsense. The officers of this court will see that you are properly protected." "They couldn't do me no good, judge. You see this lady that's been moonshinin' is my wife."?Atlanta -Constitution. j The six childless Presidents of the United States wore Buchanan, Wash[ ington. Madison, Jackson, Polk and I Harding.
