'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. ^

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." %

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."

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.

CALOMEL SALIVATES
AND MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver
and you lose a day's work
There's no reason why a person
hould take sickening, salivating cal>mel
when a few cents buys a large
>ottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely as calomel, but it doesn't make
you sick and can not salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated
tomorrow. Don't lose a day's
work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will wake
up feeling great. No more billiousnoss,
constipation, sluggishness, headache,
coated tongue or sour stomach.
Your druggist says if you don't find
Dodson's Liver Tone act better than
horrible calomel your money is waiting
for you. Adv. 3.
