IV Hutchinson, had been given two p<-4tionn with the Home Loan Hunk Hoard two jobs ami two salaries in j all totaling $l?,0O?. The article was sent., out under a Washington dato line ami was copied from an exchange. While Mr. Stevenson has paid no attention to these charges and is not making any reply to same, we have information upon good an-j thority that the statements contained in said article are wholly untrue?7 Oiat the exact figure for the salary item is $<5,954.24. This sUtcn\ent is published in justice to Mr. Stevenson. , who still has many friends in Camden * and Kershaw county and throughout the district who hold him in high regard and believe in his integi ity. IT MIGHT BE YOUR CHILD MR AND MRS. MOTOR IS I Thirty million children, ranging from near-graduates to kindergarteners, will converge on our streets and highways this September, all ?P- j proaching central points. Through , the summer they have been scattered I throughout the land; now tllV.v are to j be mobilized, crossing our city th?r-j oijgh fa re or country lanes in long j lines going to school or/rrtming home. ; It is 'the duty of eveVy motorist to see to it that these youngsters have a safe passage. Hy following a few; simple rule-, he can help cut down the toll of ",400 children killed arid 1 .YJ,550 injured in 1WJ. I'.very driv-: 4.r should remember U> approach a school zone with care; to slow down at intersections; to watch his speed on curves in the country. Children who meet after two months' separation, become so absorbed that they forget about the danger of dashing into the roadway,darting from behind parked cars, or j trying to retrieve a ball from under j a fender of a moving vehicle. The! motorist must do their thinking foi them. The reduction in motor accidents to children of school age in the United States, is the brightest picture in the. safety movement, but there still re-J mains much to be done. Ninety per! eent of these tragedies are avoidable. ( Tampa Times.

[Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) ... i Washington, Sept. 12. The people of New York have Ion# considered a visit to their city as indispun.sible to a desirable knowledge or understanding of our country, hut one is impressed there most by the noise and the bustle, and the immensity of the lofty skyscrapers. Washington is ranking foremost among the national touring objectives, as no other place offers the visitor such a wealth of sights of educational, historic and artistic interest, and in addition the city is one of the most beautiful in" the world, Nearby, also, are,, many places of. general interest. .Arlington National cemetery, with the loiub of the unknown soldier, is jusH across the Potomac Itiver; Alexandria,' a1 ver> old historic town, is a short was down in Virginia; and Annapolis, the seat of the United States N'^al Academy, is only a few miles off in Maryland. There are adequate transportation facilities to all points that may be desirable to visit. . The people of the Latin-American countries to the south of us would rather tight than to cat, and far rather than to work. After the Spanish-American war, when Cuba was made free, the United States required the adoption of a provision in the Cuban constitution giving this country the right to intervene, when necessary in order to quell disturbances which might result in danger'to stable, government. Such action was deemed to be only a national duty, after requiring the Spaniards to leave the island. Intervention became necessary once nearly twenty years ago, and it seems that possibly j such U remedy may become necessary again. Cubans haye been revolutionizing for some months now, having had three presidents, within a, month'.- lime, and conditions as regards law' and order are .-till far from sat is factory. James M. Raker was secretary of the United State* senate when the Democrats were in control of that body during the administration of Wood row W il.Jbn, and he has now been appointed minister to Siam. 11 is selection is understood to be the result of friendship with Daniel C. Roper, secretary of commerce, who is credited with wielding much influence with the appointing powers. Maker is reputed to be a South Carolinian, <>r once was, and presumably his ' appointment is credited and charged to the state, but like the status of Roper, his association and connection with South Carolina affairs harks hack in the memory of only the oldest inhabitants. The state of Maine, the bed rock of prohibition, the state which has been dry for seventy-live years, which is far longer than any other state, has voted heavily in favor of the repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Within a couple of months the prohibition amendment will have l>irii voted out of the constitution of the United States,. It i- understood that Maine, like a great ntanj other -lutes, will re maim dry within its own border.-. The proposed constitutional amendment whereby congress would be given the power to regulate or abolish labor on the part of children or * young people under the age 'of eighteen years has now been ratified by fifteen states. To become valid it must be approved by lib states, and the ratification by the necessary number does not seem to be likely at any early date. However, no time limit is fixed for action, and there is no telling what may happen in the future. Only one southern state has so far ratified, that is Arkansas, whilg two farther t<> the southwest. Arizona and Oklahoma, have given approval. The legislatures of 20 -'ate- had voted disapproval.

They ought to be paid up now\and paid as quickly as possible.?(lastqm.tl (N. (' ) Gazette. . PLAIN ROBBERS There is no sympathy in our op in- j ion for the profiteer in times of w$r and there is even less for the profiteer working under the guise of>>tho NIvA during the present time. We know of many cases in Sumter where excessive charges have been added to the price <?f the article which in many cases amounts to as much as 7f> to 100 per cent. Such a price fixing is outrageous and unless we havp this practice halted immediately the entire purpose for which the various codes wore formulated will have been thwarted. . This week on the streets of Sumter a reliable party told us that in one store in this city the price of men's shirts had advanced from 40 cents to OH cents in less time than two months. We do not know of any reason why any shirt, regardless of its quality should be double in price because a tax of about four cents a shirt and additional overhead Copts in the way of employment, merchandise, etc., have been added. In our way of thinking 75 cents should certainly be a reasonable price, not too high, neither too low. Hut to increase- the price 4U cents when the only visible increase in costs in addition to possibly a higher original cost of four cents. We could enumerate dozens of cases where j food, fui'I1, clothing, etc., the very necessities of life, have hud so much added costs to them locally that the very man whom the XRA was adopt-,-d 'feu help i> ACTUALLY HU#Tj AND RIGHT MURK ON THE STREET OF SUMTER. TOO. That type of profiteering is low down, it is contemptible, it is confiscatory, it is criminal and should be punished as such. And no slacker when it comes to adding excessive costs to his other merchandise should have a Blue Eagle adorning their place of business. * A buzzard or vulture should be pasted atop of the Blue Eagle. Maybe that blue eagle will be torn down ?Sumter Herald. VIEWS WITH ALARM State Senator W. L. Riley views "with great alarm" the fedeval government's activity. "When it is so easy for a man in distress (sometimes only apparent) to run to a generous government for assistance, very so-m every spark of independence in him is dead. We mud not forget that every dollar thus handed out must be returned with interest by'the future taxpayer and some who will pay this tax are not accepting aid and arc as worthy as some i receiving it. Every newspaper in the nation should begin now to build, .sentiment against ' this thing that, Unless checked, will soon land us on a permanent dole. Our last condition then will be worse than the first. ' If the voices of the American newspapers had been heeded the American congress would have reduced the burden on the solvent taxpayers instead of greatly increasing it. The newspapers have tried to build the sentiment Senator Riley advocates, but tileir voices have fallen on deaf ears in the congress and in legislative assemblies. Senator Riley is, of course, right m emphasizing that every dol.ar spent by government must be repaid with interest, that a burden is being placed for future taxpa\eis. Government has never been, is not now-and never will be a great < hr.sima tree. It is all right to lie..eve | t he light - -it of Santa Ciaus. ?ut 1 Santa i iaa- no government ne.

Henry Savage, Kershaw County Repeal Condidate Gorarda Marhado, deposed president of Cuba, now finding haven in Mon- j troal, Canada-, now says that he willnot return to Cuba for civil or military trial.
