Ilia service at home and abroad in peace and war has mude him an international character and when he was appointed to organize the Reconstruction Finance Corporation the appointment was giv-1 en general sanction. His sudden rys-) ignatjon from the presidency of that body was the cause of considerable regret and the explanation was that Mr. Dawes was going home to look after his private affairs, It now turns out that since Mr. Dawes left, the finance corporation his Chicago banking house has secured a loan from it amounting to ' $80,000,000 and it has been charged by Representative itfabnth of jLllinois, ^ that this loan was mado while loans to more than 30 small banks in the Illinois district which closed their doors, were refused. ^ Congress has left a committee, headed by Senator James Couzens of Michigan, to investigate the activi J ties of the corporation and it is expected that the Dawes loan will figure .prominently in the investigation. The transaction may be shown to he along sound business lines, and it is hoped that it will be, but it may be well to learn whether small banks have been overlooked in the desire to bo of service to those doing business in millions of dollars. If, as Mr. Sabath declares, little i banking concerns huve been unable t<> got assistance from the. corpora-! tion one wonders whether Mr. (Jar- j ner's proposal to lend to individuals would have been benefici^b " the! small banks cannot qualify for loans' .what chance would the individual have ? ?Spartanburg Journal. IHfVBK I I.EE FROM DORCHESTER The People There Live on the Excitement of Hot Politics Alwavs ( The Calhoun Times Wis been taking a glance at its neighbor, Dorchester county, and sees a picture there like this: Down in poor old Dorchester county they live on sensations. Politics is (arc in this case) the chief product, but it is spiced with other sidelines.! They still have Sunday schools,'but small collections. Last Sabbath, in broad open day, the Rev. Dr. Wimber- J ly's Sunday school managed to herd six dollars and. strange to say, risked it in a box behind the altar until the j night services. Thieves, in the mcan. . i time edged in and took four of the six eagles. Easing up to heathen Herkeley where church pillage iV'common. The fiery weekly newspaper sheets tell us that thousands attend the cam-, paign meetings of the "three factions. Where all those bipeds come from is a mystery. And they roar their applause like a screeching steam whistle. From the fuss and feathers we look to see 20 thousand votes polled! down there in August. Another rip-jumping episode is the circus parade, led (by the irrepressible "Ifbssy" Limohouse, dethroned anil demoted leader of the old-time rirvgsters. "Bossy" is under a deplorably serious Federal charge of debauching "Uncle iSam's" mails with horribly vulgar tirades against his enemies. It took so long for Judge Cochrane to tell the difference between filth and purity that "Bossy" couldn't wait on the outcome. So his hat is again in the ring. He hail precedent t.' back him. t'p in (Jreein ille, Carlos Rector,! convicted of conspiring, aiding and1 abetting llie killing of a former sher-1 dl. and ...-.L on but.

I/onn was one of the "g l<ien spenders" in the senate, and stow riding all the factional horses at once, in order to blunder back into the old familiar haunts under the dome of the state house. He and his legislative partner, Randolph Lee, no longer speak, and Ix>nn passed the lie the other day. No fists mvung into motion, so far as known. One thing you can say to Dorchester's credit. In politics, they turn loose the greatest output of "hot air," * ' "bull," insults, bilingsgato and bilgei^ater, in proportion to nrea, anywhere south of the Mason and Dixon line, but they never fight with fists, ticks, bullets, or tear-gas 'bombs. No "broke bones." Just overstrained windpipes, and vocal cords. Forestall A Shortage Feed and Food Crops Olemson College, July 25.?'^ very effort nhould bo miido to avoid sacrificing what ha? already been accomplished in making livestock a source of cash income," fdvise Olemson extension and resekkh workers, in a statement issued from a meeting July 22 at the Sandhills station, ?ontiac, where a study was ma<le of experimental work with livestock and feed 'crops. Tips statement was issued in, view of the continued hot dry weather and the consequent possible shortage of feeds for fall and winter and curtailment of income from livestock torprises. fo this end as well j*? to provide necessary foodstuffs for the ordinary work stock and cattle, hogs and chickens, kept for home supply purposes, it is suggested in corn,, hay and othei crops should the .drought continue. To save corn for hogs, other grains on hand such as oats, rye, wheat, barley, soybeans, cowpeas and velvet beans may be substituted partly in feeding workstpek and cattle. Even with hogs it percentage of the ration may be made up of other grains. A green grazing crop such as soybeans in the fall or small grains fatten hogs. Many successful farmers have already found that barley and oats seeded in the early fall bring a grain and hay crop early in the spring to supplement short corn and hay fiops. Plans should be made to seed an ample acreage of fall grains for green grazing, hay and grain. Farmers with surplus corn, oats or other grains when possible should de-' veTop a system of marketing their feeds through livestock channels. Additional speciftc^ecommenilations made include: The planting, as soon as moisture conditions permit, of food and feed rops that will mature before frost j such as cowpeas, Sudan grass, mille^t, soylxmns, sorghum, sweet potatoo??.. turnips and other root crops, 1 here seems to be on hand especially a good i supply t>f cheap cow pea seed. In ; special cases quick-maturing corn may be planted on good land. Some farmers will be able to save dioughtstricken corn and sorghum crops by using the cheap trench silo. The planting of garden crops including col lards, ruta bngas, Irish potatoes, snap beans, bunch limas, tomato plants, to be followed later by additional plantings of beans, mustard, turnips, spinach, beets, onions aqd conserving surplus vegetables by canning, drying or brining. j _ Outdoor Good Manners It is too bad that the visitor to I the forest does not more often carry with him the good manners and-eon-j | sidoratior for others that be prac- i ' tices at home, lie should know that | it is unpardonable to throw down the lighted match or cigarette in the for-j rT'st, just as well a> he knows that | ; he must not throw tin cans and old j i clothing into the street at home. Hoi should learn how to behave in the, 1 forest just ic he learns it for the drawing room. The smoker would^ not throw his match or cigarette stump or empty his pipe on his host's i rug or table cover, but, without giving it a thought, the same smoker tosses a burning match or ashes on the floor of his host, the forest, where it threatens property worth millions and even human lives.?Kershaw County Forestry Association. TJLR SENATORIAL CANDIDATES ^femehow or other we fail to get enthusiastic over any of the four men who are candidates for United States senator.
