'GOT HIS GOAT" Congressman W. F. Stevenson recently got after a Demoeratc congressman from Texas, Hon. Thos. L. Blanton, for appointing three of his sons to salaried positions in Washington. We will let Mr. W. J. Hollo-j man, staff correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, tell the story: Interrupting the Texan, Representative Stevenson, of South Carolina, inquired, innocently, if the Texas member did not have a son sitting as j a page in the house? "Yes, and I am not ashamed for him to associate with members of this house." Again the South Carolinian inquired if the Texas member did ?not have a son also on the house clerk's pay roll? "Yes" the Texan was oblidged to admit. "How old is he?" "Fourteen!" "And have you not a son in the house postoffice?" The Texan was oblidged to say "Yes." By this time the thing got serious; and the question then was as to whether or not the Texas democrat thus abetting the Republicans, should not, in reality be restrained from nepotism under the terms of the Sherman anti-monopoly law. It got so sesious indeed, that the democrats forced a resolution, also to investigate the relaionship between members of the house and capitol employees. HON. ASBURY F. LF.VER Congressman Lever of South Carolina, although now with the minority party in congress is doing valient work on the Agricultural Committee, of which he was chairman in the last congress. In reply to some criticisms of a Republician member from Illinois, as to the bureau of markets, Mr. Lever said: For four or five years men on the Philadelphia Produce Exchange, for example, get together in the morning and say that the price of eggs shall be 80 cents a dozen, when the producer in the country is selling them for 40 cents. Now, when that occurs there is something wrong. One of the chief activities of the Bureau of Markets is to furnish to consuming public in the cities what the producers in other parts of the country are sell ing eggs for, so that the public it celf will demand that these leeches disgorge. In other words, I am a believer in the great principle of light. I do not believe that evil can long exist if you turn sufficient light on it. The Bureau of Markets under the present activity is furnishing the light. But you can't expect it to cor rect all the evils within four or five years, but if you will give the bureau proper support and proper sympathy on the floor of the House and the Senate, I believe I can guarantee to you that you will have an an organization. ' Entered as second-class matter at the postoftice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. AIDING THE ENEMY Here is one bad effect of the fault finding and criticism of the president that has been going on in congress. A cablegram from Switzerland is to the effect that one reason the Germans are said to be slow about signing the peace treaty is that the idea in Berlin is that President Wilson is discredited at home, that the American people are turning against him and the German leaders think that by holding out a little longer Wilson will be left in the lurch. If those Republican and Democratic congressman could realize that their action is giving aid and comfort to the enemy, in causing the German people to have false hopes they might cease their ill-timed censure. PARDONING A DEAD MAN A puzzling question has presented itself to Governor Bickett, of North Carolina. The question is: Can he pardon a dead man? Forney Williams, an escaped convict, was killed in France and had $10, 000 insurance from the government. As a fugitive from justice Williams was not eligible to serve in the United States army, and there is some question as to whether the government will pay the insurance money to his relatives. Governor Bickett stated he would have pardoned Walliams prior to his death had he known he was serving with the American forces. "If pardoning will get the boy's mother the money, I am going to do it," the governor stated. that will do more for society and the human family in the way of furnishing products at their true value than any other other method of legislation sc of which I am capable of thinking at w this lime. It is simply for the pur- ? pose of gathering information, fur- ai nishing it to the public, nnd under- p< taking thereby to stabilize prices and a* to see to it that no man is gouging the public. If that is not a reputable, w laudable proposition, I would like to know what is one. ^ sa re Uncle Sam is getting ready to count j his folks. The census bureau at aj Washington has over twenty million ^ dollars appropriated to it for taking ^ the census next year. ; FLY ACROSS OCEAN IN SIXTEEN HOURS At last the Atlantic has been cross- jf cd in a single flight of an aeroplane. ol The lucky fixers were two young British officers, Capt. John Alcock w and Lieut. Arther Brown. They "hop- m ped off" at St. Johns, Newfoundland, on Saturday afternoon at 4:13 oclock Q| tnd landed at Clifden, Ireland, at 9:- js 10 o'clock, British summer time, the next morning, consuming exactly 1G ti hours and 12 minutes, for a trip that e< requires a week on a fast ship and tl >ften longer. Before the steam ship e' the fast sailing vessels required about k> forty days. h The distance covered more than tl 1,900 miles. The flight was practi- ti rally without incident; there were no w accidents until the landing in Ireland it and then the machine was slightly a damaged by sinking in the soft bog. '1 Neither of the men seemed any worse for the flight, although the experience h was rather trying. !> Much of the flight was made through ^ a fog with an occasional drizzle. This ? hampered the airmen considerably P luring their journey. Describing the experiences of him- " <elf and I.eiutenant Brown, Captain " Alcock, in a message from (ialway lf to the London Daily Mail, says: a "We had a terrable journey. The wonder is we are here at all. We s1 scarcely saw the sun or the moon or " stars. For hours we saw none of them. s' The fog was \*ery dense and at times 1 we had to descend to within 300 feet of the sea. "Four four hours our machine was s< covered with a sheet of ice, carried oy frozen sleet. At another time the ^ fog was so dense (hat our speed indicator did not work and for a few V minutes it was very alarming. "We looped the loop, 1 do believe, ^ and did a very steep spiral. We did ' some comic stunts, for I had no sense ^ >f horizon. "The winds were favorable all the n way, northwest and at times southwest. We said in Newfoundland that we would do the trip in 10 hours, jbut we never thought we should. An hour and a half before we saw land we had no certain idea where we were but believed we were at (ialway or s hereabouts. t "Our delight in seeing Fastal Is- ^ "and and Tarhot Island five miles west ^ >f Clifden xvas great. t We encountered no unforeseen con- t litions. We did not suffer cold or exhaustion except when looking over j the side the sleet chewed hits out y out of our faces. We drank coffee and c ale and ate sandwiches and chocolate, c Our flight has shown that the thing is i practicable, but 1 think it should be c <lone not with an airplane or seaplane c hut with flying hoals. t "We had plenty .of reserve fuel \ 1 ?*ft, usirur only two-thirds of our suppiy. ' "The only thin** that upset me was to see the machine at the end get damaged. Kmni above the boj; looked ' like a lovely lield, hut the machine 1 sank in it and fell over on her side." % t ELECTION NOTICE I State of South Carolina, > County of Chesterfield, \ To the Trustees of Ousleydale t School, District No. 49; <1 Havirqr received a lawful petition f from the qualified electors and free- a holders of your district you are here- j v by ordered to hold an election at the a school in your distric on Satur- ' I day, the J 1st of June on the question j / of votiny on four additional mills for! f defraying the ordinary expenses of j s your school, and report the results ] of the election hack to the County Hoard.

THE Pit. .^ER'S DEVIL'1 ' J"N Wb'l' H'F*.1 v* ' - * * ^ " SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS / Last year in working out the hool savings-bank system there ere in Richmond 9,793 depositors, f this number 6,680 were white t id 3,113 colored .The amount de- e >sited was $27,164, making an aver- ^ je of $2.77. From this amount $18, 12 was withdrawn, most of which as put into W. S S. s This, it is pointed out, is merely the c suit of the first year of the school ivings-bank system, and far larger ^ suits have already been achieved, though no report is thus far avail- s )le for the present year. However 1 is not only the amount of money < iat these children save that is the t m of the system, but the far more mailable lesson of thrift that it teach- X i. > President Wilson has said: "I doubt many good by-products can come t it of war, but if out of this war our ( ;ople learn to save, the war will be orth all it has cost in money and 1 aterials." ( And it is generally agreed that one i f the best ways to reach the people t through the children. j In the Fifth Federal Reserve Dis ict a banking plan has been invent- ' 1 to simtllifv tVl?> tunfllnrv;' tiorl /"kf ! 1 - -- X J %V^V..V?U V Vi ie saving-bank system. Teachers < verywhere reported difficulty in j ceping records of the small change jrned over to them in. savings for| irift stamps. Various methods were J ried until the penny savings book < 'as devised. For every cent depos- 5 cd the teacher stamps in the book | minature picture of Franklin, with ie reminder "A penny saved." When twenty-five penny payments ' ave been made in this manner the 1 ictures are cancelled, in exchange < or a Thrift Stamp. Pupils are urg- v d to bring savings accounts to a oinL where they can purchase at ast one War Savings Stamp, bear ig interest. The lesson taught by a < ation wide distribution of stamps > j considered of even more import- | nee than number of stamps sold. The penny savings' book is a contant inspiration to the child lo save. 1 tetween its covers, in addition to the ? pace set aside for t he penny recceipts, are messages from Carter j llass and from "Uncle Sam ".Simple mguage is used in urging the child to 1 ave. "What do you want to be when you 1 row up?"is one of the appeals to j tie child. j "You want to be somebody, and t ou want to be somebody important, 1 on't you? Then you must begin to i ave money. That is what all rich I nd successful and important men t nd women in the world have done." 1 Saving is important as a means to 1 n end; hoarded money means no 1 ood to anybody, it is explained. The hild is asked to put away the pennies or a summer camping trip, a college ducation or any one of the thousand nd one things that growing boys and :irls dream of. A sound thrift mesage in lasting form is thus put into he hands of the children in an attractive manner. The interest of the larents is found to he stimulated hv he observance of the thrift habit in he younger members of the family. The War Loan Organization of the Mfth Federal Reserve District has idopted as its goal, in the savings ampaign, "A war savings society in very class room". This, of course, s the simpliest and most direct way if teaching the children? future? iti/.ens?"the habit of thrift of inelligent saving and of careful in'esting." i N MEMORY OF CHARLES P.

' . . ' ' . T * I I J BBS tNTIS GOING AFTER C REST OF THE WORLD William Jennings Bryan -delivered h wo speeches in Columbia Saturday n vening in the interest of the Anti- t! >aloon League, with which he has li ?een connected for some time. The P ubject of the talk was: "Work ac- ^ omplished and tasks before, us." Although approaching GO, Mr. p Iryan said that he expected to live to o lee a saloonless world. The credit c or driving liquor out of the United ' States was given to the League and a c he drinkers of the rest of the world ^ vere openly threatened with annililation. i In contradicting the statement that ^ !:e r turning soldiers would not per- 1 c nit the country to go dry, or to re-ain s >, .the; famous ex-candidate is ' . ! ii.ifVi havinir ill fit. the r soUrorr, themselves helped to make f he country dry and would therefore, r lardly take steps to undo the work 1 hey had already done. In dealing ,vith the "no beer, no work" attitude j >f some of the labor organizations j ie said: "We must remember that the ma- 1 iorily rules in this country. No one * lass controls our government. While r iome labor unions may object to pro- | libitior , votes speak in no uncertain t mice. The biewer of beer and the * listiller of whiskey have lived ?.nd J foujrht together; why not let them , lie together and be buried in the , tame trrave?" i "Heretofore," he said, "when a 1 State would },<> dry, the liquor inter sts would simply move to the nearest vet territory. Now the nation is to >e dry, and the liquor interests will \ lave to move three miles out to sea vhere the water is over their heads ind where it is wetter than wet. "The United States will not jjo mckward. Three preat forward mov- ^ nj; factors are assisting in the fi^ht. rhe first is an awakened conscience; he conscience of the nation has been rradually aroused and it will not ' deep a train. Second, scientific inves.igation shows us that liquor lowers 1 fliciency; that it cuts short life; that 1 t lessons resistance to disease, that it eads to diseases that tend to destroy ' .he race. Science does not move backward. Then there is the patriotic 1 motive. We knew whiskey ' was bail in peace; we ' found it to be still worse in war. It ( was no small tiling when the congress of th United States made it a criminal otfense to sell liquor to a man in the uniform of the country." Ho praised the work of the Democrats in making the country dry and paid his compliments to New Yorl: writers, who have opposed the movement for the national prohibition. In his conclusion he spoke of the missions of the United States in aiding other nations to get rid of the drink evil, saying that a remedy had been found for alcoholism. Total abstinence saved many, he said, but by enforcing prohibition, the breeding place of the ^erms of the truflie are wiped out. Mr. Hr>an spoke Sunday and Monday in Union, Spartanburg and Greenville. DANGERS OF A COLD Chesterfield People Will Do Well To Heed Them Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind in filtering the poison-laden blood, ami backache, headache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow Don't neglect a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills ai the lirst sign of kidney trouble. Here is an experience told by a resident of this locality. A. J. Scarborough, 237 Syracuse St., Darlington, S.

The woman is never expected to, repress beyond the ordinary round j f house work performed by her anestors, then man too, should follow , he primitive instincts of some of his j ncestors and either remain suspend-! d from the limb of u tree or hid ; way in a cave.
