Congress is a live issue just now. ANOTHER IRISH PATRIOT Hon. Geo P. O'Shaunessy. Congressman from Rhode Is land, comes from a little old State, but he talks sensibly as if he came from TexasSpeaking of the Republican party. recently, he said: "In its quest for a candidate it would violate the sanctity of the Supreme Court and remove from that august tribunal a distinguished jurist and embroil him in the mulestorm of politics. No greater compliment was ever paid vVoodn-w Wilson thau the mad quest of his opponents for a competitor worthy of him." 3 Referring to Roosevelt he said: "Had tie been President instead of Wilson we would loug ago have been iuvolved in war." And then this genial Irishman added "Wilson has done more for preparedness in one year than the Republican party did in halt a century." Mr. O'Shaune?sy has an Irish name but he is not a hyphenated citizen. He is ^ a thorobred American. THE SHIPPING BILL ! Hon.

He showed that since the war began freight rates have increased enormously -in some cases lOoO per cent. That's going some and shows that coinpetition by American otyned ships is needed and needed j badly. { Advocating the shipping bill, llou. .1 li. Aswell, of Louisiana, said "An adequate merchant marine is a question of commercial necessity, of national honor, and of American right. 1 a in for a merchant marine owned by Americana, built by Americans ? in American yards and sailing under the American Hag." SOUTH CAROLINA STATESMEN Congressman Whalev, of South Carolina, in an able speech in Congress upon the Rural Credit and other legislation favorable to farmers said that more important legislation has been enacted during the past three years in the interest of agriculture than during any fifty years combined in the history of the country. Referring to Hon. Asbury F. Lever's cotton future bill he said when the act went into ef feet it resulted in the raising of the pri<-e of cotton nearly $2.00 a bale, hut recently a New York judge declared the act unconsti tuliona) upon technical grounds. The agricultural bill this.year re enacts the cotton future bill so as to meet the objection of this decision. The chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Hon. VV. (i P. Harding, the only Southern member of tin; board, declares that the acf was one of the means of saving the cotton situation during the critical period of the pas' two years \ 1111 f'A t\ uluMMJu rlnnAW/1 . v.w V/..H 111 TT(?,T n ur liCllU U|M;ii {rood old South Carolina's Statesmen to bring us through dangers, se< n and unseen.

( Now and then, and quitq freuently, in noli complaint is teard about mail order houses aking Out* money. There will .lways be some mail order business, for in the great field of nerchandise there are many artoles which may not be found in >very community. There are so nany hundreds of things that leople will buy when their at.ention is called to them that no ocal merchant can anticipate he fact and have the goods on nand. It would not pay him to tiave them for the irregular demand. But the great m<;rchan[lise staples in every line can iiways ue supplied by local merchants and the people will buy from them in preference to mail order houses if the local merchants do their part. Merely cussing the mail order houses gets nowhere. Any town which has a bunch of live merchants who are atert to attruct. their natural trade will not be troubled much by mail order houses. Mr. Ropenfield of Sears boebuck & Oo. is said to have stated at a recent meeting of the American Ad. Club that his company makes a careful survey of fcl.e counly to ascertain what communities are dead on the advertising proposition and that where local merchants are not advertising in their town paperB. Right there is sent a Hood of Sears-Koe^uck catalogues. He said,,llt alwayp brings results far in excess of the same efforts put forth in territory where the local merchants use their newspapers."?

PRESIDENT We solicit youi business, n call on us when yon are inoi The Peop ropDfti Admittedly illiteracy is an. It is a detect of circumstance, nut of character or moral worth Of white literate make in South ^ Carolina there were 17i599. aocording -to the census Of 1910. Ten and eight-tenths per cebt.. of the voters in the Democratic primary in 1914 were unable to sign their names on the iolls, or approximately 14,000. The State Federation of Women's Clubs has for its slogan : "No illiteracy in South Carolina in 192*0.'' In the State, 5,072 white teachers are employed in tne public schools. If, therefore, each teacher will redeem from illiteracy one white man and one white woman each summer, uii- A til the end of the period this would account for over 40,000. The problem white of illiteracy at least would be solved. During the winter the teachers could see to it that no illiterate chil dren remained in ignorance in th? district. Night schools have already done much good. The same sort of effort, organized or uiiorgaiiiz* ed, throughout, all the counties would wipe out illiteracy and make life pleasanter for thousands of our citizens. Those who can not read and write would doubtless be willing to le am. That has been demonstrated. They cannot however'read this proposal for their benefit. A discussion along these lines, then, at county political gatherings would probably be heard and listened to by the ones to be reached. Nothing that really will benefit people should bo politically sacrosanct or kept in the background like the family skeleton. A health of pure water to the toast: "No illiteracy in 1020."?The State.
