I Capital Observations (kHTttwnmdcncc) 5.^rjt?n June 19.?The seventy W'ioSSrSl di?urned Ust th,M after passing during its two " r's more legislation which ninifly changed the economic 5"t ure of the country than any *Zr congress in history. Appro-, ions were made to the extent of P vimately $10,000,000,060, the pprp?st 8Um ever authorized during ?? time. and in addition a vaat ,,.?t of contingent liabilities were 'Sired Members of this congress nut of office on the third of Jany insuad of March fourth, as heretofore. Assuming that it will be called in extra session again, has established a record in several particulars. For time actually at Mrk in Washington it was the shortest congress in thirty years, and the "xt shortest within the past huna'a years, having sut during its L sessions only 267 days, during which over four hundred acts were passed. The president expressed his gratification because of the hard work done and the accomplishments attained. ? , , , President Roosevelt may well be felicitated regarding this first "new I deal" congress and the manner in which he and his policies were supported. He. vetoed during the second session seventeen bills, and only one was passed over his diapproval, the I one restoring the allowances to veterans and easing the restrictions upI' on civil employes of the government. The only other instance in which the I president was rebuffed was when the senate failed to ratify the St. Lawrence waterway project, which he I stronglv advocated. I * A congressional committee, in a reI port which may be considered as enI tirely non-partisart, recommends the removal of Major General B. D. FouI lois as chief of the army air corps, I charging among other things that he I is dishonest, incompetent and ineflfiI cicnt. When the air mail flying was I turned over to the army fliers a while, back it was upon the assurance of General Foulois that the army planes I were entirely ample and the fliers were qualified to discharge the duties fully and safely. As a matter of fact I the army fliers lacked necessary exI perience in the greater number of instances, and several lost their lives needlessly. It soon became necesI sary to make other arrangements and resentment became bitter because of the false assurances given the post office department regarding the efficiency and preparedness of the army air corps. It is indicated that appropriations for the corps will be withheld in the future unless Foulois is displaced. * * * * Finland was the only one of the European countries owning war debts to the United States that ipade the semi-annual payment due on the fifteenth. Most of the others have been making small partial payments, but thi< time failed in that respect, presumably because of an act passed by congress declaring in default any | country which did not pay up in full, a> to the installments .Agreed upon , previously. Finland's total debt is | S8.72fi.645, comparatively little so far i a? this country is concerned, but doubtless a severe burden upon a *mall and poor nation such as Finland. * * * * All that Senator Smith accomplished by his bitter and relentless opposition to the appointment of Professor Rex Tugwell as under-secre- j tary of agriculture was a delay of nearly two months. Only five other Ik-m-icrats joined in combatting the nomination made by the president, wh:l. r.ine Republicans and the Far-1 me:-I>abor senator favored Tugwell. The vote in the senate stood 53 to 24. * * * After passing several liberalizing measures for the District of Columbia. over which congress has exclude jurisdiction, among which were ' ne authorization for the sale of liTJ"r? and permission for staging pr:ze fights, a halt was called when ante to racing with permission on betting. The proposition was *arr< ?t!y opposed by various citizens .ations and ministerial unions. A racing bill failed of passage dur:r-g the last hours of the session. * * * Another matter that went to wupht during the session just closed wa; the effort to cause embarrassment because of orders issued by the management of the restaurant under be rontrok of the house of representatives excluding negroes from b*mg served. The committee which f nr. ducted an investigation reported bat r.o member had been discriminated against, and that it was within ?e province of the management to make rules and regulations as they fit. So there was ground for no urther action. r> e Resident Roosevelt's leadership continued as an outstanding feature during the entire life of the sereintypfird congress.. There was not much balking and exceedingly little actual ion as he conferred frbely h leaders and retrained from pass. t J Wife Murderer Again Sentenced I>arlington, June 18.?Peyton Ilrown, young white man of the Pond Hollow section of Darlington county, was today sentenced in the court of general sessions by Judge K. C, Dennis to be electrocuted July 18 for' killing his wife, Gertrude Melton Brown, 26, on January 22. Mrs. Brown was killed while out riding with her husband and a companion, Glester Johnson. When - the body was found she held a pistol in her hand, with a bullet wound over her heart. The impression of a suicide was given but investigation by Sheriff J, H. Coker and Officer Hensey and Hartsvillo officers resulted in the charge thf# she was shot by her hus- ( band with a .82 pistol held in his left hand while driving the car, and holding the wheel with the other hand. The motive for the act was that Brown and his wife quarreled frequently. Brown, who had been in the state" penitentiary, was returned to Darlington Friday to be resentenced in court today. He was tried in last term of court and sentenced to be electrocuted, however, he appealed to the supreme court for a hearing, To Die In Chair Iiancaster, June 18.?Reuben Jones, 18-year-old negro, today was convicted of the murder of Bernard McCullen, filling station attendant, and was sentenced to die in the electric chair July 22. . ^ The trial of the negro consumed less than one hour. He was the only defense witness. On the stand Jones repeated the confession he had previously made to officers. He admitted striking young MoCullen over the head with an iron bar and settingfire to the body. " His motive was theft. Jones took the result of the tHal cheerfully. Sentence was passed by Judge William H. Grimball. "Preparedness" This will be the theme of the address of Dr. Wimberly next Sunday morning before the Bible Class. It will be remembered that this was his subject last Sunday, but this one will have no reference whatever to the line of thought in the last. Don't fail to hear him next Sunday at 10 a. m. This is a^. fine oppotunity for hearing a timely' and valuable address.?Jack Moore, Secretary. Members Called To Meet The members of DeKalib Baptist church and anyone else interested in this church are urgently requested to meet at this church on Thursday, June 28, at 8 o'clock for the purpose of discussing plans to remodel the church. Services have not been held at this place regularly for sometime due to conditions of the building. It is an earnest desire of the committee for a representative number of the members to get together and discuss plans for the .continuance of this church and to start plans for remodeling the building. . Let's all keep the date in mind and be on hand to help in a worthy cause. Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church There will be services at the Mt. Pisgah Baptist church next Lord's Day as follows: Bible school at 10 a. m., church worship at 11 a. m. The Rev. Coy Muckle, president of Wingate Junior College, will occupy the pulpit and bring the message, in the absence of the pastor, who is assisting Rev. P. H. Cowherd at the First Baptist church of Branchville in a meeting. Rev. Mr. Muckle is a great preacher and is usually heard by large congregations everywhere. It is hoped that everyone will avail themselves of the opportunity of, hearing this educational leader. The j B. Y. P. U.'s will meet at the usual time. The public is invited to at- ( tend these services.?Luther Knight, Pastor. ing too strenuously where bitterness would ensue. With statesmanship he combined the astuteness of a season-; ed politician, and has met with unprecedented success. His popularity throughout the entire nation has had very considerable bearing upon the j support accorded to him by members of congress. He obtained favorable action upon nearly every measure that he advocated and prevented most of the things that he opposed. 1 * ? At times it has been suggested that certain European countries, par-1 ticularly England, might turn over j to this nation some territorial pos- > session toward payment on war debts but the idea has not gotten very far. j The other day in the British parlia- j ment it was ironically suggested by a member that Great Britain might be wdlling to turn over the Irish Free State, for hundreds of years a thorn in her side. It is not likely that the idea would meet with much enthusiasm on this side of the water. * * * * Bernard M. Baruch, well known in Camden, wealthy and nationally prominent, has long been a liberal contributor in the interests of the party with which he is affiliated. He hAs just made a generous donation of *4,&00 to the Democratic sena-| tori a 1 campaign committee, which will wage the tight for the election of United States senators in November.
