there Appeared ah article captioned j
'Stevenson , T???et I,(,r Cajuto
Scribe" in which un attack .was made ,
upon Former Cortgrcssman W. b- i
Stevenson, of this district, charging
that his former secretary, A. 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. (

[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. South

pay your just debts
One of the best things that could
happen to this community now with
prices and wages going up would be
a debt-paying campaign.
There are hundreds and thousands
of minor accounts with our merchants
and other business men
scattered over the town and community
which have been allowed t?>
drag along since last March. 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
