Wnahinffton, Feb. 26.—The McNery* Haugen farm relief bill, the handi work of the Western Harm bloc and the' Southern Democrat*, was con- aifned to the waste basket today by presidential veto. ' ,rv With it died all hope of greneral farm legislation at this session of tongreaa. The senate will vote to- mornotw on the question of overriding || the veto, but the pnocesa will be * Merely a gesture. No one expecta the bfil to muster the two-third* necea- •ary for passage. What.it* Mipporiers do expect i* that the roll cafl will give notice to to the White House that they Have not surrendered but aire prepared to a<%ept the issue. A new battle over a McNary-Haugen hill is promised when congress meets again ip Sep tember, and political leader* on both •ides are prepared to see the contest parried over into the 1928 campaign. President Coolidge took hi* stand against the bill in unequivocal fash ion. In a long veto message dissect- ~——• * ing the measure, he declared it an “economic (oily" to attempt to regu late farm surpluses by levying an equalization fee on basic farm commo dities; pronounced the proposal dis criminatory because it did not apply to all farm products; said in plain terms that it was a scheme for price L ’S-Matter Pop? . -> r Improved Uniform International BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, MARCH 3RD, IfT.

For good measure, he sent •long to the capital iyi opinion by Attorney General Sargent, declaring the bill unconstitutional in its vital proviaion*. As «n alternative, to meet an agri- cuttural condition which he conceded to be unsatisfactory, the president re newed hi* recommendation for pas- Mge of other plans proposed in con- gress foe- the recovery of agriculture. He declared these programs “offer promise ci sound aassistance to the fanners without' these unronstitu- tionalitiev invasion of executive au thority, thus contrasting with packer* and flour miller and other manufac turer*. this overproduction with its inflation and inevitable crash, with out this indirect price fixing, huyin.* and selling, this creati n of huge bureaucracies,” involved in the- Me- N^ry-Haugen mosaare Graup Favoritism. While stating that myiy other rat- •onie exisU-d why the measure should tot he approved, the imrsident said the most decisive one wws that it was gnccnHitutional. He also pointed out that the hill singled out cotton, corn, rice. swine, tobacco snd wheat “for •pecial favors’* at the expense <f other farm products, and contend'd that it was “for certain gnaipe of fanners in certain sections of the country." “The me* sc re disci irtin ten deftni- tely against product* which make un what is universally considered a pro gram of safe farming," he said. “Can It be thought that auch legislation could have the sanction of the rank and file of the nationV farmers?” At another point in hia mc*.*ngi-the president said it “foeais almost in credible that the producers of hog*, com, wheat, rice, tahucco and cotton should be offered a scheme of legis lative relief in which the only persons who are guarunteed a profit are th® exporters, peckers, millers, cotton ials, and added that “{government price fixing, once started, has alike no jus- >tice and no end." ^ — “It is an economic folly from which this country has every right to bo spared," he said. Characterizing the equalhalion fee to be paid by producers of the basic farm commodities 5*0 that -surpluses might be exported as a tax for the •pecial benefit of particular groups, the executive said that “as « direct tax on certain of the vital necessaries of life it represents the most vicious form of taxation." Board Defect Stressed. Another defect in the judgment of the president was thiat a board of 12 men to be selected !»y t^e farm ’groups could not only fix the price ; which the producers of the basic crops named would receive, for 'their goods but*could also “fix the price which the consumers of the country shall pay for Hfetae commodities." "The chief objection to the biU is it would not benefit the fanner," ir. Coolidge said at another point, Jdkli ■i Asserting that the administrative difficulties involved were sufficient t® wreck the pen <rf the bill, the execu tive said the measure would mean "an enjrmous builder up of govern ment bureaucracy to let and inspect the hillkm* of dollars worth of con tracts which would have to be en tered int^ in cairyingout the plan." Another bureaucracy would have to t>e built up to collect and distribute the equalization fee. he continuid, adding that there was no reason why -ther 'industries should not receive the *un<- tiraiment as agriculture in “every occasional difficulty." "Such action would establish bu- reaqrracy <*n such a scale ai to dom!- ni'e npt only the ec^noyi? life *>u* the moral, social and political future of our people," Mr. Coolidge asserted. West Alienated? The mes* »ge was sent to the sen it« immediately after it met at ryxm hut ^ it was not read until mid-afternoon because of the parlimentary situation. It* purport wae known long in ad vance »f the reading and most of the | farm leader** had made comment on the president's action. Pndiction* that the veto would alienaite n large part of the West from Mr. Couiidge politically were support ed by the comment of leaders in sym pathy with the bill. While they Hid not say anything about the politi cal effect, they emphasized that the vet would prove highly disappointing to the people of that section of the country. * , * Similar expression was made on the fft>or of the senate during discussion of the message after the reading. Senator McNary, of Oregon, chairman of the agriculture committee and co author of the bill, moved to- refer the message to this entymittee. This brought protest from the Demo-' cratic leader, Robinson of Arkansas, and Senator Moses (Republican) of •pinners and others P-ofifng on some- New Hampshire, charged that the of the nation's basic foods and mater- purpose was to pigeonhole it there, McNary <ienied that this was intended. Earlier in the day the Oregon sena tor had said that there wiould bo no effort to override the veto, but after the senate debate he announced he would have to override immediately after the senate convenes at rt:cm to morrow. * Upbn its original passage, the bill carried only, comparatively small ma jorities in both the senate and hou*e and its authors freely conceded th^t there could be little hmpe of overrid ing the president in either branch of congress. -> The senate vote livas 47 to 39 and the house vote, 214 to 178. If the senate fail 3 to give the notion to •override a two-thirds majority of those present and voting that will definitely kill the bill for thl* session. Missionary Society Meets.

Following the stoning of Stephen, the enemies of the Lord were more active than ever In their efforts to stamp out the uew faith. With Saul as their feeder they dragged men and women from their homes and Impris oned those who confessed Christ The. devil overreached himself in this for this persecution scattered the be lievers everywhere and they preached the gospel as they went. The time had now come for this witness-bearing to extend beyond Jerusalem as the Lord had Commanded. The Lord permitted this persecution so as to scatter them. II. Philip Preaching the Gospel in Samaria (vv. 6-8). ~ Philip was one of the seven so-called deacons. He was not an apoatle, nor a 111 In Inter In the accepted sense of that term, but a layman. He ie the only man called an evangelist In the New Testament. He Is an example of what a devoted layman can do In preaching the gospel in the evangeli zation of the world. He went to the city of Samaria and preached Christ, allowing'that the purpoae of God In cluded these despised people. The fact that Philip preached Christ unto these people shows that the true evan gelist's message Is Jesus Christ. He did not preach Christ as an ethical teacher or an example merely, but Christ as the Savior from sin through the substitutionary offering of Him self on the cross. This Is shown by the fact that he preached Christ to the eunuch from the fifty-third chap ter of Isaiah. He not only preached Christ as the SavldT from -the guilt of sib. but from* the power of fin as symbolIxed In baptism, which means not only Ideutlflcatlon with Christ In His death, but to arise in the power .of Ills resurrection, to walk In new ness of life. Then, to*, according to verve 12 he preached Chri*^ as a retgnlng king Philip's preaching was fruitful, for mntitude* believed hi* message which was accompanied with numerous miracles. He cast out un clean s|4rlta. healed the palsied and the Ipme. Great joy accompanied the reception of the gospel by these Sa maritans. * III. Raul an Example of a Tn«* Preacher of th* Gospel (II Cor. 5:9-2U). 1. Ilia supreme aim was to please God (v. 9). -Vo live or to die was Imma terial to him If bis service was but acceptable to God. This transcendent aim was strengthened by the cop- sriousneaa that every one must one day stand before the Judgment seat of Christ Tills aim explains Paol's de votion. 2. lira consciousness of responsi bility (v. 11). His seqse of koiemn responsibility was the explanation of Paul's bs- havior. Some thpught that he was mentally unbalanced. His knowledge of God's holy nature and of man’s sinful condition moved him earnestly to persuade men to be reconciled to God. No one who knows God’s terror will be half-hearted In his ministry. -3. He whs constrained by the love of Christ (v. 14). This means that lie was governed by Christ’s love. Ministerial®devoilpn' Is the expression of replcrocal. love. Christ’s supreme love was expressed In H’s death for us. Our love in re turn is expressed in our devotion to Him. . *. Consciousness of the God-wrought change In Him (v. 17). It was because he was wrought upon by God and was therefore a new crea ture that he sought to do His will. 5. The content of the gospel which die preached (vv. 18, 19). The recooriHatlon of God through the death of Christ was his central message. In the incarnation God was In Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself. >* . 6. Paul was an ambassador sent from God to appeal to the world to be reconciled uulo God (v. 20). He was the ambassador'from the high court of heaven sent to this re bellious world.
