At first the house was fie may lose a lot that he actually sympathetic and the senate mildly (spends trying to alleviate suffering. hostile. There wa >s a chance for the governor to win the senate by a little diplomacy, tact and magnanimity.

What was the trouble? The gov ernor is ambitious to Ire a worthy lead er of the State; personally he i s a clean, likeable man, but he doesn’t seem to understand nfen, or know how to accommodate himself to them or them to him. He is a crusader spend-" ng his energy and forever on small ob jectives; and in fighting these little skirmishes he lost so many of his without insurance. Senator E. D. Smith walked out of the National Democratic Convention in Philadelphia because a negro minister was called on to offer a prayer and later a negro congressman wa s on the program for an address. It may be all race prejudice end unworthy, but the reason for inviting those two negroes was nothing moie nor less than very. soldiers that he had no army left | cheap politics. Was the prayer an ex- when he went in b-tt'e. As soon as pression of spiritual yearning, or was the politicians took his measure they it a plea for Divine guidance? The cut the cloth accordingly. The worst whole prog]am was cut and dred. To of it i s that he precipitated the fight my mind causal prayers on occasions .rnd th.n wa s beaten. Seme adherents of the governor will say that he was' beaten by all sorts of influence and what-not. Perhaps there wa s some influence and what not; but even in the senate there were of this s ort have not that spiriual fer vor that, is supposed to characterize an appeal to the Great Jehovah. T suppose if we all worship the same God- a fervent prayer should be accept able by whatever peison m£y offer men who had supported him in the it devoutly,—the prayer was not to primaries, but who could not rally to him as governor. Those men—some of them I know intimately—are gen tlemen and worthy of all respect. Well, when you analyze the situation you must conclude that the governor ha s made a very unhaptpy beginning. Has the governor lost his oppor tunity to acheive distinction as a use ful leader? I think not. There wdll pe a new house elected thi s summer voters, and half the Senate will be new. 1 That, taken by itself does not me>an so much, for the governor began with the house and nearly half the senate the delegates, but to God—but it seems that the invocation to his colorec 1 min- iser was not a tribute to him, but a subtle appeal to the negro vote in the North. The invitation to the negro congressman was for the same pur pose. There i 8 nothing in the record of the negro congressman to justify the invitation to him except that he is a negro and may influence negro EDISON AND YOUTH. It was typical of Edison and his -—and lost nearly all hi 8 support. But vitality that in the midst of all his new men will come who have not been labors he was always considering the embroiled in the row; they can work future of indlustry, that which lies in with the governor. But the governor * he hands of the oncoming generation, himself must put aside his prejudices He said: “I want to bring unusual and work to build the State. There youth and unusual opportunity to- aren’s any saints connected with the gether." That explains why at the highway department; and no one there of eighty he took so deep an in- bas wings; but to deny that there are terest in the education of youth, even honorable gentlemen connected with devising new educational tests and that organization is to be too narrow- sponsoring the plan for seeking out ly paitiaan to see clearly.

The pioneering quality of Edison’s personal chaiacter, his democracy and unselfishness, and above all, his courage, constitute a bright star for youth to follow.

To insure crops is not fan tastic, though it will turn some very ordinary farmer 8 into bumper crop producers, whenever « recognized occasion come for a settlement.

Even the play of the wild chimpanzee iloes not include the ingenious “mon key-shines” so characteristic of the an imal In captivity. In the bush, this ac tivity Is mostly running, jumping, play fighting and similar exercise. Migrant Shrike Unlike the sly Cowbird, the Migrant Shrike is frank in his ways.

Washington.—^Vgaln the roll of the war dniras is belhg heard on the other side of the world. In 1018 those dnims had been stilled forevef, so a great matj.y \>eople said. War-torn areas needed healing badly as did the peo ples of the earth. Americans had thrown their weight Into the ending of the war. The heal ing of wounds was to be a longer process. So, on a January day In 1020, millions of American tree seeds, sacked and ready for shipment, were started from historic Boston common on their way to do their part toward healing the scars of earth. They were pre sented to the consuls of Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium by Charles Lnthrop Pack, president of the Ameri can Tree association. These messengers of International good will, after the*routine of germi nation under the watchful eye of for esters. were to tind their way as seed lings not only to the battle areas but to the areas where forests had beeh cut down to meet the demands of war lor timber supplies. Heal War Scars. Today those Douglas fir and Sitka spruce, millions upon millions of them which made up the bulk of the first shipment and others that followed in the next four years, are standing In the mothering soil of other countries than their own. Reports received by the American Tree association tell of some of them lo and 20 feet high and growing better than many native trees. They are thus doing their part admirably in healing the ground scars of the last war. “Their girth does not bring them Into a war market,” said Mr. Pack In go ing over the reports he had received, “but they are doing the Job for which they were Intended; healing the scars of the last war. Soon they will have grown large enough for commercial use. “These trees are now standing In France where forests were blasted by shell fire. They are standing In Bel gium. too. They are growing In Great Britain where virtually every tree which could be transported was cut down for war needs. “The British forestry commission repol-t* the growth ot the tree* and where they are located. They dot the famous lake country In Scotland iand area* along the C'aledonlnn canal. They are growing in the forest of Dean In England on the border of North Wales. Other tree* are thriving In the King George Jubilee forest In In Wales. The forest of Dean Is the famous “crown property" and It was this forest which supplied timbers for English ships of war In the old days. The commander of the S|tuni*h Ar mada was ordered to burn It If he landed In England. Do Well In Scotland. “Locations of the plantings In Scot land read like an index of a Sir Walter Scott novel. Some of the tree* are at Ahoyne. Clengurry. South I^iggan and I<och Katrine and dozens of other places. John Munro, the forester at IxH-h Katrine, reports Sitka spruce of 20 feet in height and Douglas lir nearly as high. “At Inverness James Fraser of the commission reports the American trees follow the line of the famous valley to Onich. They are also thriving in ninny plantings in northern Ireland where the climatic conditions are similar to those where these species grow best in this country. “The British forestry commission Is now clmcking the plantings as It does every two years. The re[>orts Indicate the Sitka spruce has exceeded any Eu ropean species In growth and the Douglas fir has done almost as well. The seed was gathered In the Pacific Northwest mostly on the coast side of the Cascade range.” ling, Judge of Probate for Barnwell County, State of South Carolina, and will petition the said Court for an Order of Discharge and Letters Dis- missory upon Saturday, July 11th, 1936, at 10:00 o’clock in the forenoon.
