' Gentlemen: There has been so much said recently regarding the United States Senators and Congressmen placing their relatives upon their payrolls, which practice has cost the tax payers of the United States millions of dollars, and for which no service has l,een rendered, and which practics the honest people of this state will no longer stand, we are therefore writing to you gentlemen who are to date the announced candidates for United States Senate from South Carolina to make inquiry if you are elected: Will you place any kinsperson of yours ,or your wife4 upon the payrolls of the United States during the term of your office, As to Mr. Blejaae, we will ask if during the six years you were n United States iSenator from this state if you had any kirtsperson or parsons of yours or your wife upon the payroll of the United States. If so, who and for what period of time and what amounts did such person or persons draw, and what services were rendered by such person or persons. As to Mr. Smith, we will ask if during the more than twenty-three years of your service as United States Senator from South Carolina if you have had any kinsperson or a Icinsperson of your wife, in either event by blood or marriage upon the payroll of the United States, and If so, the name br'h&riies of such person or persons* the amounts such person or persons drew from the United States government, and what services such person- performed if any, and whether such services were performed in Washington or South Carolina.

To help insure employed and unemployed in getting through the coming winter against suffering from hunger, Dr. W. \V. Long, director of the Extension Service, is sponsoring the cooperative canning of vegetables and meats, offering to provide the supervision necessary for efficient results. In a recent letter to Cotton manufacturers Dr. Long thus presents the proposition, which it is hoped will meet with favor in industrial communities and perhaps in cities where Provision may be needed for unemployed. 'Dear Sir: The Extension Service stands ready to cooperate with the in producing such truck crops can be caned for winter use by the operatives. We will gladly furnish xPert -.pervision in production and tanning, provided the nefessary seed, ertiliz,..- and land are procured.

I hut the age of brhles Increases with the social and economic status of their families Is found by Frank *W. Notesteln of the research division of the Millbuiik Memorial fuud, from stuT tlsilcal analysis of the marriugo ages of 17,870 native white women. Among city *" girls, he found, ihe duughter from the professional fumily marries on the average of 24. The daughters of business men tend to go to the altar a year younger,'while the clerk's daughter Blurts a home of ner own lu about her twenty-second year. Ulrls from the families of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers marry, on the averuge, during the twenty-flrst year, but the girl of the* first class tends to put off the ceremony until she Is alyost twenty-two. Country girls marry younger than city girls, but the saipe curious relationship is found of marriage age with social status. Thus the daughters of farm owners marry at an average age of 22.8, of farm renters at 20.0, aud of farm laborers at 20.1. American brides, on the average, are g trifle younger than English brides. Sausage Long Esteemed by Men of Discernment A book dated A. D. 228 tells of sausages 700 years older still. About 500 B. O. Eplchnrmus was so entranced with this savory dish that he wrote a play about sausages. He was not a lone prophet crying In a culinary wilderness, either, for the celebrated Aristophanes wild in the "Clouds," written about 423 B. C.: "Let thenr make sausages of me and serve me up to the students." Charles Lamb was another enthusiast. In his "Essays of Ella" he mentions sausages "as the savoriest part you may bplieve/of the entertainment given at the annual feast of Chimney Sweepers, held in Srnlthfleld upon the yearly return of the Fair of St. Bartholomew." Per'chance this most succulent variety has migrated to America.. There are one hundred varieties' of sausages over there, and Ih one year 770,983,976 pounds of meat was ohopped up to make them.?London Mail. ... O. "Hunger" There l^a common belief that appetite and hunger are the same thing, yet the two are different. Scientists k'lfave ^definitely localized hunger as, a function of the stomach, and find that the contraction of an empty, or nearly empty, stomach is the source of hunger pains. As the stomach Is filled and the walls are expanded hunger dlsappeara Appetite has been found to emanate from the mouth, and throat area and Is influenced by previous tastes or odors of food. Pavlov, the Jtussian physiologist, defines appetite as the flowing of digestive Juices aroused by the memory of food. The familiar watering of the mouth at the sight of what Is considered appetizing food does characterize appetite, he says. ? As a Silver-Tongued Orator -A prominent western Massachusetts politician, constantly seeking ofllce and occasionally succeeding In attaining [ some public position, recently had oc| cnsion to deliver a radio addfess. He is known to thousands of voters In the state and Is not the sort of person to underestimate his popularity or his ability. A studio official inquired of him while they were waiting for his allotted time on the air to begin, how he would like to be Jptroduced to the air audience. He replied: , "O, you don't need to say very much about ine. Just call me the silver-tongued orator of western Massachusetts."?Springfield Union. Wonderful Meteoric Shower ' The meteoric shower which occurred In the early morning of November 13, 1833, Is thought to have been the most brilliant ever recorded. It Is the shower usually referred to as the "falling of the stars." It began about midnight and lasted until dawn, and was visible more or less over half the earth. Including North AmeHm. hut not France. The number seen at Boston was estimated at 250,000 or more.

FEDERAL SLEUTHS SCAN /LOVE CLUBS' * ______ Powers Case Starts Government Probe of Matrimonial Agencies. Washington.?While Harry F. Powers prepares to go to the gullows In March In the skate penitentiary at Moundsvllle, W. Va., federal authorities are making a nation-wide Investigation of matrimonial agencies and lovb clubs such us the one through which Powers met two women he murdered. There are more than 800 such agencies In the United States, It Is asserted, and they have more than a million "members," Including both men and women. The government charges that men and women are not only being swindled by these organisations but also that through them they are also being placed at the mercy of confidence meu, blackmailers, and even killers. Many Others Like Powere. Powers, who was condemned to die for killing a ChlChgo womimuifter he had made love to her and obtained her money after meeting her through a Detroit matrimonial agency? Is not the flrstf to tako life under such circumstances.. a Still remembered Is the case of. Desire Landru, called "Bluebeard," the Frenchman who dlsmombered. the bodies of 11 women to whom he had made love before robbing and then killing them. Landru lured his victims through "love wanted" notices, as also did Bela Kiss, a Hungarian. Kiss became engnged to more than 125 women through various matrimonial agencies and killed 80 of them. Years ago Johnnn Hoch, of Chicago, J became acquainted with 12 women Whom he married, robbed, and then kllletj. Agencies Are Thriving. ?-? The fate met by the victims of Powers has not by any means put a damp- j er on the business of the matrimonial agencies and the love clubs, Investigating agents have learned. Hundreds of letters are put Into the malls every day In all parts of the country as men and women from all walks of life take advantage of honeyed offers of "soul mates" and "connubial bliss." * , Jov#ftUgators assert that .all .ae*-. qualntances arranged through these matrimonial agencies are dangerous. There are numerous cases where "love club" correspondence has resulted In happy marriages, but at the same time the dangerous contacts so greatly outnumber the safe ones that federal-authorities have asserted that there should be more strict federal supervision of the activities of all of them. i . , . } ' Flyer Plunges 16,000 Feet as Oxygen Fails , Mount Clemens, Mich.?On squadron flight 20,000 feet nloft, Lieut.

This Is an Increase of 7,000 over 1030.
