I believe I left us in that inagiilleent
building, the Library of Congr'ess. This
'was burned at the burnng of the cap
ital by the British, but received a new
start with tho puirehase of the libra ry
of Thos. Jefferson. It Is the largest
library in the Western I temisphere
and the finest in the world. The build
ing alone cost $6.500,000 and has a
floor spac e of more than S acres. The
building is of Concord granite on a
framework of steel and the interior
walls are wholly stucco and marble.
So altogether beautiful it is I thought
not irreverently of the "City not iade
with hands"
For half of that city's bright glory
To mortal has never been told.

that Sen. Dial Is not going on' the
principle of rewarding friends and
Ignoring those who opposed him, but
is at all timnes willing to hep those

this will prove the assertion that our
Laurens county man is going to live
up to expectations of his friends and
as Senator do his full duty.

we saw our first sight of the war work

played a big part in the war and we'll
not forget
"it was the navy took them over,
Alnd the navy brought. them back."
When I returned home andi the
farmer asked, "Did you see Samt

say I didn't and lie looked at mue with
an air that said, "Inll my opinion you
failed in seeing Washington!"
