Corrects a Rumor To the Patrons of Jackson High School: Contrary to the misleading statement that some one has circulated, the school has lost nothing and our plans for the future have not been changed. The principal will make his report at the proper time. P. B. Mdodana, Principal The Tennessee Bar association has adopted a program intended to eradicate shyster lawyers in that state. ?f?wmm I Capital Observations (Special Corrnpondonci) Washington, June 12.--The senate has passed the silver bill, and in eider for it to become a law there remains Only the adjustment of minor differences with the house of representatives and the signature of the president. Silverites hail the action taken as a step towards bimetalism and the free coinage of silver at a fixed ratio to gold. As a matter of, fact however, so far asv. the present is concerned the law will not amount to very much. It declares the policy of the United States to be the* estab* lishment of a metallic monetary stock of 25 per cent silver and 75 per cent J sold, and directs the secretary of the j treasury to purchase silver in order ( to attain that ratio, but wide latti- J tude is allowed as to the time and method of purchase. So the currency j situation will remain almost exolu- | sively under the control of the ad- j ministration. The measure also au-1 thorizes the president to nationalize! all domestic silver bullion stocks and j provides a tax of fifty per cent on all i profits made by silver speculators. * * * * There has never been much pros-1 pect for the present Congress to au-! thorize the payment of the remain-! tier of the veterans' bonus, and the' last hope went glimmering yesterday : when the senate rejected the proposition which had been passed by the ! house. There has been so much re- j lief granted to those in dire distress, more in need than the generality of the veterans, that the latter will have to wait, but their turn will come in due time. * * + * Senator Smith lias been displaying in a spectacular manner his opposi- J tion to the confirmation of Professor Kexford G. Tugwell as under secre- \ tary of agriculture, charging that he j entertains tolfflSeral views which ap- ' proach socialism, and that the pro-1 fessor is not like himself a "dirt far- I mer." However, it is not in evi- ' dence that the senator ever did a day's plowing or hoeing. As chuir- > man of the committee on agriculture he called Tugwell before it l'o'r grilling. The ability of the latter has not been questioned, and he acquitted himself admirably. Smith was ac- ' fused of endeavoring to smother the j nomination by failure to report it,' but tins he denies. Anyhow, the lea- ! dership of the senate threatened to tn^y the matter out of '.he hands of t)?i' committee and to force action. As Otis is written a vote hits not been taken, but it is confidently pro- 1 dieted that the nomination will be fa-! vorably acted upon, in compliance j with tite wishes of President Koosevelt. + In tlte midst of tite expenditure of billions of dollars in connection with , relief and the recovery program conies the unprecedented drought in the middle West and Northwest. The administration lias announced the purpose to spend a half a billion dollars for relief in the stricken section, if so much be necessary, and doubtless congress will make tite necessary appropriation. Aid has been given in previous instances of drought, but never on such a great scale.. Such enormous expenditures are giving cause for serious thought, In tite end the taxpayers will have to pay all bills, and it is a question how long the government will be able to continue along tite line indicated. * * ? * Uncertainty as to the verdict of a petit jury is proverbial, and the same may be said as to the time of adjoiMQgUicnt of a legislative body. This is told about the late Nicholas Longworth when he was speaker of the national house of representatives. Asked when congress would adjourn, he said in reply: "You had better consult the chaplain of the house. He is nearer to Clod than 1 am, and God only knows." * * * * President Roosevelt has informed congress that he is preparing a vast plan for human betterment, which would include security of. home, security of livelihood, and the security of social insurance. The last probably means some plan for unemployment insurance. Congressional action will not be asked until the next congress meets in January, and that will give time for thorough preparation and the consideration of suggestions that may be made. The plans will embrace numerous details, "Covering practically every class of citizenship. He says that we may look to the future with confidence, just as we may look to the past fifteen month-; with reasonable satisfaction. * * * * | Frank Myers has lu^m_i>*mrnied as Federal judge of the eastern district of South Carolina, to succeed the late Judge Krnest F. Coohrah. The appointee was endorsed hy Senator Byrnes, while Senator Smith, j probably endeavoring to play safe, submitted a list of several whom he 'considered suitable, including (Jovernor Blackwood, who However was the last one approved by him. Senator Smith is considered to have scored in the appointment of Reuben (losnell of Greenville as marshal! of the western district and William Burgeson of j Charleston as marshall of the eastern district, but Byrnes raised no objection to these. Smith has vociferously proclaime<l that he does not believe that the administration will withhold patronage from him because of his failing to comply in all instances with Qie president's wishes. * * Congress has passed several hills calculated to supplement the efforts of the states to prevent and punish crime. One authorizes the attorney general of the l-nited States to offer a reward of $-.">,000 for tin- capture of any criminal designated as a public enemy, and another enables groups of states to enter reciprocal agreements affording police interstate powers fn pursuing criminals across state lines. These laws are all right. What is needed most though is tlie stricter enforcement of laws that haw beet on the books till along. * * * * President Roosevelt obviously in Death ?f Mrn, Mehaffey Mrs. Kli/.abcth Mehaffey, t5H, wif^ of Joseph Mehaffey, of tho Buffalo section, died Monday, May 28, and was buried in the cemetery at.

Grading Completed Grading of the road leading from Kershaw by the Haile Mine was completed last week and the machinery i> being removed to Charleston. Our information is that this road is to bo top surfaced from the paving at tho Kershaw town limits to the Beckham Clyburn gin house which will leave the road urtpaved from that point to where it intersects No. I) at a distance of about three miles and a half. We are not informed as to when tho paving will begin.?Kershaw Kra. I tends to refrain from taking sides in any local partisan contest, Probably be has in mind the case of Wood row Wilson, who when at the height of his popularity did not hesitate in .several instances to commend or denounce as he saw tit candidates offering for office. His efforts wore not always successful, and in soino cases caused considerable bitterness. ;ershaw lodge No. 21 A. F.
