DOWN WITH SECTIONALISM The administration of President Vilson has been such a complete sucess and so filled with great achievements that the Republicans in their ifforts to discredit our great leader, irfc resorting to desperate methods. )nc of them is to attempt to revive he dead and buried sectional issues. | n the present session, of congress Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, reently administered a severe and lecded rebuke to Senators who were ittempting to revive sectional aninosity, to malign the Southern States. Senator Hardwick, who hps >roved himself one of the ablest and me of the most fair-minded statesnen in congress, replying to those :riticisms said: "I am very sorry always when any Senator on either side of this chamber iscs his great position to create, or end to create in any way sectional ivalries or jealousies or enmities imong the people of this country. I hought that in this body, at least, the ay was past when statesmen of broad nind and broad view could regard hat as a fitting position for them to iccupy. Unfortunately there have een periods in the history of this ountry when that sort of thing was ill too common; but what we sow we eap. We sowed hatred on the floors >f both these chambers of congress, ind we reaped a whirlwind before we inished. Surely the time has come vhen the good people throughout this ountry are sick and tired unto death >f all this talk about the North and he South and the East and the West; ind surely the day has come when .he Senate of the United States, at east, and in the Congress of our lommon country, sentiments of that sort are no longer popular, are no longer right, and ought not to be and will not be tolerated." Senator llardwick also administered to Judge Hughes a scathing rebuke in this strong and truthful language : "To my great regret, almost to my shame as an American citizen, this is the first campaign in many years in which I have seen even the Presidential candidate stoop from what I consider his high place in order to revive, or attempt to revive sectional feeling. The result was not gratifying to you on the Republican side. It was not pleasant to us. It seems to me that the sooner we get away from that sort of thing, and the farther we keep away from it, the better off we will be in all parts of this country, North, East, South and West." Every patriot will agree that these words were fitly spoken and ought to rejoice that the South has in the Sonnfn nn?. 1 mv..mvv w..v oiui uuuitjr ciiuu^ii arm courage enough to stand up for the South and to condemn those who malign and defame her. The South has just cause to be proud of her Senatorial representatives and none of them more than Georgia's junior Senator. HON. G. K. LANEY Senator Laney is chairman of the important committees of Education and Military Affairs. Mr. Laney is very much interested in education in this State and in appropriations for rural schools. He is the author of an act to allow agriculture to be taught in the common schools of this State. Senator Laney is, perhaps, the best _ .ersed man in South Carolina on the "" present insurance muddle. He was one of the co-authors of the Laney- d Odom Act passed during the last ses- p sion and was appointed by Gov. Manning on the committee to investigate and report on an insurance code. He ^ is willing to offer every inducement K to the insurance companies to return b to this State and conduct their busi- P ncss in a legitimate manner, but he k stands four-square on the broad principle that the State of South Carolina, through her sovereign powers, t< has a right to protect her citizens c from unjust discriminations and that! w the State alone must have the right to say when an insurance rate is dis- a criminatory or unjust. Senator I,aney has introduced a batch of bills in the Senate carrying out his ideas and the ideas of the joint committee appointed by Gov. Manning, and it is believed that these will be enacted into law. The prospects are, that after the present session of the General Assembly has adjourned, that the insurance situation in South Carolina will be clarified; that the insurance :ompanies will return to this State, but, at the same time, that the rights ->t the citizens of the State will* be ' fully protected. CONGRESSMAN LEVER ON THE JOB Hon. A. F. Lever, of South Carolina, chairman of the committee on Agriculture, has a very responsible position in congress and is discharging his duties with zeal and ability. A very interesting discussion was had in Congress recently upon the question of an appropriation for the investigation and demonstration to obtain potash.
