While many sought employment in Wash ington, a number wended their footsteps to the great city of New York, and took up cheerfully what ever work their hands found to do. Among these who are at work in Gotham, we may mention the fol lowing: “Mrs. McNeil, of South Caroli na, venerable and lovely woman, has established herself in a very successful boarding house. “Mrs. Sadler, of South Carolina, a daughter of George Buist, of Charleston, keeps a popular board ing house, well patronized by her Southern friends who summer in Ne w York. “Miss Florence de Treville, whose father was Richard de Tre- vllle, once lieutenant governor of South Carolina, also presides over a popular boarding house.

Lexington, Sept 24.—Lexington high defeated Barnwell’s lighter eleven here this afternoon 14 to 0, in an easy victory. AH point* were scored in the second quarter and 13 of them were made by Tay lor, who starred for Lexington. Schwartz scored the extra point. The first quarter was spent swapping the ball, neither side ac complishing much. The second was Lexington’s throughout. In the third Barnwell made its only threat getting in scoring distance but losing the ball on a fumble. Coach Bird ran in the second team in the fourth and the boys showed up well. Aiken 6. Blackville «. Aiken, Sept. 24.—Taking advan tage of a fumble on the kickoff Ai ken defeated Blackville, 6 to 0, in the opening game of football which was played here today. Verenes, for Aiken, pushed across the win ning tally when Aiken recovered a fumble by Delk of Blackville on the third play of the game. Two passes from M. Still to Delk netted the Blackville teams gains of more than 30 yards. A pass from Delk intended for Still was intercepted by Blake of Aiken, who then caught a pass from F. Major for the only first down for the Ai ken team. Delk was responsible for four of the team’s six first downs. The broken field running by Major who played his first game for Aiken, was the feature of the game. Burckhalter and George and DeLoach* of Aiken and Bodiford of Blackville ma<fc good gains and tackles. P. Ma jor received a fractured knee on the last quarter and will be out several weeks.

It had only a Congress which ths Sts toe didn’t respect much. After some yesrs there were tariffs and trade dis putes among the States—each of which was jealous of its authority snd independence (sovereignty). A conference was called to work out better plans of co-operation. Thi* Conference called another Confer ence. The second Conference took on itself—without authority and without even the knowledge of the States—to prepare a new agree ment or constitution for co-opera tion among the States. This Con ference drew up the Constitution of the United States “in order to form a more perfect union.” It provided for three departments of the government—executive, legisla tive and judicial. The States were not enthusiastic; they wanted to reserve virtually all power tothem- selves. Af^r a great struggle the States ratified the Constitution, the opposition having been due to the fear that Congress might usurp the powers of the States. Within 4 years 10 amendments were adopt ed to safeguard the powers of the States and to hold Congress in check. So greatly concerned were the States to maintain the powers of the states that they incorporated a provision that the States reserv ed to themselves or to the people all powers not expressly granted to Congress. True it is that the Constitution is a document which must respond to the expertenc* and needs of our people, but it can be amended. Why, then, try to steal up on the flank and tear it to pieces by sur prise? It was amended ao as to include the 18th Amendment and then it was amended ao as to strike out the 18th Amendment So why not tq^th* issue to the poople in correctmanner ?

If we cannot produce aa cheaply as the others and still don't want to surrender the market- then what? Now, there’a the rub.

So, you see. how it Is. Not so easy—What? What is the farmer's problem, so far as cotton is concerned? He must produce cotton in s world market and sell it on a world-mar ket price. Now is that correct? No, I fumbled that a bit. Th* farmer rents his land or pays his taxes on a strictly local market, there being no uniformity among the counties in taxes, nor among landlords as to rent. Then the farmer employs “hands." There being no governing standard of wages, nowadays the pay for pick ing cotton ranges from thirty five cents a hundred to a dollar. Con siderable spread-that. Then the farmer buys his fertilizers at a more or less uniform price. Now when it comes to selling! The price is not “fixed” in Ander son and Orangeburg; nor, yet, even in Charleston and Wilmington. Liverpool dominates the cotton market, just as London dictates the metal prices, etc. Well, the farm er of North Providence, in Orange burg County, and the farmer of Pudding Swamp, in Clarendon County, just as truly as the produ cer of Pea Ridge, in Union County, must pull the bell cord over a mule all the year for a price which Liverpool prescribes. It is a world affair, our Horry County cotton selling in competition with the cotton of Peru, Egypt, Brazil, India, and others. If we reduce our production they will increase "ftheir production and grow richer and richer, as we grow poorer, for they can sell at eight cents and mske a fabulous profit If we insist on a price higher than the world price the other coun tries will produce all the cotton and let m hold ova.

Braille System for Ibe Blind A Frenchman of a century ago enabled thousands to lead success ful lives despite blindness. Louis Braille perfected an earlier system of teaching the blind to read raised letters with their fingers. Instead of using raised letters, he used per forations in paper. Briefly, his sys tem is an alphabet consisting of holes in paper arranged in various combinations. For instance, “b” is two vertical dots. Numbers from 1 to 10 are the first 10 letters of the alphabet, preceded by a number sign.
