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.
