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.
We think these are matters that
the voters of South Carolina are entitled
to know about. If you have
not, and will not be guilty of such
practices, the voters should know it,
and if you have /been guilty of these
practices, the voters should know it.
Therefore, we shall ask that each of
you gentlemen above named write us
frankly and fully by return mail in
answering to the above.
Thanking each of you for your
courtesy in this matter, we are,
Very truly,

Long Says Can Fpod
Against Winter Need
Clemson College, June 13. ? 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.

Rich Girls Slowest to
Assume Marital "Yoke"
The better off she Is, the later a
flirt marries.
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

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.
The United States..naval .observatory
states that this stream of meteors was
supposed to be the result of the disintegration
of Temple's comet, which
wns not seen when last due In 1900.

FEDERAL SLEUTHS

* ______
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.

Paris.?Paris holds the world's record
for being the city with the greatest
number of missing people, according
to statistics.

the Family, which aids the French police
in tracing missing Individuals, announces
that 27,000 people have disappeared
from Paris during the last
year. This Is an Increase of 7,000
over 1030.
It Is emphasized, however, that many
of these so-called missing have not
fallen victims to crime, nor accident,
Dut nave merely suddenly left town for
reasons of their own.
