CARtOL.INIAN AF'PER GIRAFTERS
PasMage by the nat1ional house of
representatives several days ago of
th bill providing half a million dol
lar's to pirosectte war grafters may be
ace(Ited inl this comnty as due largely
to the activities of a Laurens county
man, 11. L. lE:alfe, forilerly o1 fi Clinton
but more recently employed. by the
governmewnt as an in vestigator of war
0ont iaCts.
Svveral weeks ago the enormous
amount of gIaft secured by war con
tractors was exposedl in a letter writ
tenl by Air. SCoaife and (iuote(d in a
spi'elh by lI'resentative Timothy L.
Woodrfif, of .\tichigan. In the letter
Mi Scaife charged that every effort to
bngtse rascals to justice had been
frtistirated by Iien high up in the gov
ernment svrvice. To Attorney General

seems from a distance to be one of a

Scaife with undeviating determination
with results so far 'which atlpear very

In view of the fact that prosecution
of these .ar profiteers, if any lrose

largely from tile activities of a South

Iifsilnttasch as there was in the coun -
ty Denmocratic onenton unnious
desire to recogize andI honor the wo
men ; ho have becomie m~emibers of the
party, the same spilrit will animnate
the State Democratic convention.
Thie Piedmont believes that It would
be graceful, just and fitting that a
p'romlinent womlan Democrat be0 electedl
either temporary' or permanent' chaIr
man of tile conventionl.
Trhere are many able womeh wvho

thle real biettermoent of tile State.
Conse luentily, Tile Piedmont nomi
nates a loyal Southl Carolina woman
who, despite offers of far larger comn
rensation In easier .fields of labor for
years has been dievotinig andl Is stIll
(evoting herself to thle splendid task
of freeing the toor 'boys and girls and
men ant~d women of South Carolina
from Illiteracy.
She is entitled tot more credilt thman
any other individual for the glorious
facts that from 1910 to 1920 .white 11
literacy In tIs State was r'educeed 22
per cent, for In that period the num-.
ber of illiterate whites was reduced
"11,500; that thle total dlecrease In Il
*literacy in this .State in that Interval
was 7.6 per cent, the largest aecrease
In the whole United States; that tVhere

women in this State who can neithei
read nor write, so that the task o
these schools is still tremendous.
As a recognition of the mnagniicen

DEMOORATS MAKEAATTACK 4
ON TARIFF MEASURIE
Washington, IMay 6-uevelopments
today in senate consideration of the
pending tariff bill included the filing
of the minority report attacking the
measure, aipproval of the finance coi
mittee amendments, increasing the dul
ties on lactic acid and an iformal dis
cussion among rpuiblican leaders of
measures designed to speed up senate
action.
Night sessions beginning next Tucs
day with a view of forcing curtailment
of debate were among subjects dis
Icussed by the leaders, but no decision
was reached.
Three roll calls were demanded -by
the -democrats on the lactic acid
paragraph but the committee amend
ments under which the rates on this
acid would be from 2 cents to 9 cents
a pound in place of the house duties
of from 1 1-2 cents to 5 cents were ac
cepted by substantial majorities ol al
most strictly party votes.
The minority report on the bill
was filed by Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina, ranking democrat on
the finance committee, who asserted
that if properly entitled the tariff
would !be termed as "an act to mort
gage the country and its resources to
the protected and monopolized indus
tries."
iDeclaring that the atmosphere of
the capitol had been surcharged for
18 months with the "frenzied clam
or of the protected industries for pro
hibitive rates," the report said these
interests believed that the embargoes
and prohibitions would do for them
now what embargoes and prohlibitiong
did for them during the war.
"The rates imposed in this bill,"
the report continued, "are rates that
in their operation, while not enhanc
ing the prices of laboi or operating in
any way in the interest of labor, will
irresistably tend to the maintenance
of high proflts and prices of which tle
people now complain and furnish an
o))Ottility to further increase these
Prices, while the power to further in
crease these rates vested in the presi
dent will operate as an invitation to
invoke the exercise of these extra
executive powers -when the prescribed
rates are not suflicint to safegutrd il
Protected jroducers against tile risk
of foreign competition in case they t
may wish to raise their Iices above
the level of the l)lotection against
sucll competition afforded by the rates
written in the bill."
Senator Simmons further asserted
that prlospects of the bill were actu
ated 'by the 'belief that the only way
to afford protectiol against foreign
competitiol "is to double the dizzy
heights of the vrotection wall and to
so out-Aldrich, as to make him and his
memllory anathema to his quandom
idolatrous followers."
