VOLUME XXXII. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1917. NUMBER 32
64TH CONGRESS IS
DRAWING NEAR END
LEADERS ARE BENDING EVERY
EFFORT TO GET BIG LEGISLA
.TION THROUGH.
DO NOT WISH EXTRA SESSION
All Else Must Give Way to Appropria.
tions and Measures Relating to Na.
tional Defense.-To Hasten Action.!
- I
Washington.-With the end of the
Sixty-fourth Congress but two weeks
off, Administration leaders are concen
trating their ehergies to the enactment
of revenue and national defense logist
lation. Much long-pending general
legislation overy one recognizes must
give way to appropriations and mntiW
ures that relate to the preparations
of the Nation for eventualities which
may grow out of the diplomatie breach
with Germany.
In the Senate, the revenue and
naval bills are to be given the right
of way as soon as the espionage and
anti-conspiracy bill, now under con
sideration, is out of the way. The
House will )ass the Army appropria
tion within a few days, and then devoto
its attention to the sundry civil and
general deficiency appropriations.
What emergency legislation may be
enacted before adjournment depends
entirely upon the decision of the Pros
ident. Many believe he will communi
cate within a few days lile plans for
handling the international crisis. Pre
vailing opinion is that he will asic
Congress for authority to use the
armed forces of the Nation for the
protection of American seamen and
American rights on the high seas, not
with the purpose of making war, but
to open the sea to shipping.
To Hasten Action.
While waiting the next step, what
ever it may be, the Stnato is deter
minod to hasten action on the reveniiO
bill, the naval appropriation bill
amended by the naval af'airs commit
too to carry $533,000,000, an increase
of $165,000,000 over the House bill,
and the Army appropriation )Ill. In
addition to these measures, the ship
ping bill, urged by the shipping board,
extending the powers of the Goverit
ment to control commercial shipping,
is of paramount interest.
Whether there will be ti le for- pa.
sage of railroad labor Ie slation and
other general bills, in ifew of tht
congestion of essential i easures 4
seriously doubted by 6:-.rs' di 'both
parties. It ha , be'en deternined to
proceed \vith.the most urgent matters
regardless of the possibility of an
extra session, and there is confidence
that all the appropriation nieasurei
except possibly the rivers dnd harbre
bill, can be enacted by March 4.
ALL NATIONL GUARDSMEN
ORDERED TO QUIT BORDER
Southern Boundary Patrol Will Be
Left to Regulars.
Washington.-Orders were issued
by the war depart ment directing Glen
eral Funston to begin the immediate
demobilization of all the guard units
remainintg in border camps, and it is
expected that the last troop. train will
be on Its way north by March 7.
General lFunston will have on the
border nearly 5i0,000 regular troops
disposed along the~ line from lrowvns
Vylle to Yuma, Ariz., on plans worked
out by the general staff.
Secretary linker emphasized that
the ithdrawal of the state troops is in
nio way conneted with .the crisis with
Ghermiany, lbut carries out at policy do.
termlined to long ago. The order wv i
issued after General F'unston had re
ported that he had enough regulars to
meet any border exigencios that might
arise. Many guard unIts already had
h)o0n ordeoredl home (luring the past few
weeks, and the number of guardsmen
remaining aned to be demuholi:zed un
der the order is about 53,000..
Adminbit rationi offials are under

reports of special observers for the
state departnment and the army that

The Hague, Feb. 34.-(Via London,)
-Consternation was caused here by
the announcement of the torpedoing
and sinking by German submarines of
seven Dutch cargo vessels, two of
which, the Noordcrdljk and the Zaan
dijk, grain laden and bound for a
home port, belonged to the Holland
American line.
Two others, the 'eniland and the
Gaasterland, were enroute for the
United States for grain, while the Ja
cntra also was grain laden. The Ban
doeng was coming from the DIutch
1'ast Indies with a cargo of 14ece
goods. All the vessels left --

HISTORY OF ALFALFA PLANT
Records Show It Was Carried Into

Spreading Eastward.
Alfalfa Is i very ol plant. It waNs
taken from Persia to Greee by Xerxes

dreti andi fifty years later the Itomans
alrrietl it froIn (ree(ce to IHome. I'liny,
the iltmuin naturalist, who lived ti
first: century after Christ, tells of its
value.
It. wvas probably takenl from Rome
to Carthage and the surrounitng Ier'

whein or how it spread over the West
is not clearly established, but it gained
a foothold inl Utah, Montana, Idaho,
Colorado and the semiarld states, and
from there is spreading eastward.
Some farms In the Carolinns, New
York and 'ennsylvania have grown it
ever since these sections were settled,
an11d its vialie is kiowni there, so that
it is strange its cultivation has not
become more general, but there is very
little grown in the eastern states.
