ONE GOOD BILL While the late Republican Cong ress did some things that ought noi to have been done and left undone many things that ought to have beer done the water power bill was on< creditable thing done. According to Secretary Lane, thi: bill will be of vast benefit to th< country. The legisaturc will enabh the government to control the flooc waters, large and small streams am to develop much needed hydro-elec trie power. This power can be gen i,..i ..?.i .1-a..,.. i ? vicitvu UIIU UIMI IWULt'll UJ llIUUMl lt'n towns and railroads. As Shakespeart remarked, "Give the devil his due,' this much we can give to the lat* lamented Republican Congress, i Congress "unwept, ur.honored an* unsung." WARREN IS WISE A Washington dispatch says tha Warren G. Harding has decided noi to resign his seat in the Unite* States Senate, although, nominate* for the presidency. See where he i: right. A bird in the hand is wortl two in the bush. When the Democrats elect the next President Harding wil not be out of a job. Hold on to youi seat Warren, you will need it in De cumber when Congress meets, an* then, too, you will be in Washingtor Ibarch 4th, when the Democrats in n.:gurate their president. In fact, a . v.u may get a reserved sea tfo'-m and see some goo* Democrat take the oath of oflicc fo ti e next four years. HARDING A PUPPET SAYS WORLI This is t' e estimate of the tw Democratic newspapers of Ne\ to the nomination of Hardin; ' ' Republicans. . e Now York Times says: on a platform that has pre ' general dissatisfaction, th < ' . go convention presents a can (i who o nomination will be re cel. : with astonishment Mid disma; by the party whose suffrage he in viU-.

MeAdoo. He . leeently made this significant statement as to the relative importance of motor trucks and highways as compared with railroads: "I heartily approve of every measure or effort to promote good roads throughout the United States . and to enlarge the usefulness of the motor truck in order to increase needed transportation facilities in the country. This is highly important to business and industry of all kinds and especially to the farmers of the Uni' ted States. The country has outgrown our railroad facilities and it J will be a long time before railroads can be brought up to the needy of the country. The most practicable, as well s as the most immediate, relief that can 1 be provided is through good roads and the motor truck." A Kentucky jailer has decided to convert his jail into hole! as he has - 10 prisoners. There are thirty gallons I -f whiskey, however, in the building. ' l'hat might add to the popularity of 1 lis hotel, at least as long as the liquor - asts. 5 General Pershing has announced ? that he has had enough of army life ? and will retire. The Germans could 1 lot make him retire, but the war be1 :ng over, he retires voluntarily. He - is a brave old scout and is entitled to - lave his wish.

CHILD STOPPED TO PRAY It occurred at noon within the din k and scramble of a cafeteria. She was about 12 years old. Her d comely features were given a studir ous aspect by the horn-rimmed '* glasses perched upon her nose. Her '* bobbed olack hair was caught up by " .1 l>lue silk ribbon bow carefully exact. y She carried her tray to a table in " the center of the room, t The rattle of the tables went into n diminuendo and ceascu. Men and women carrying trays gasped with open mouths. Persons seated became rigid with attention. The dining roojr s was hushed. e For the child had clasped hei n hands before her, bent her head anti ;t closed her eyes. Her lips moved foi 1. ,i full minute. She was b*Mv%/ ?

With fiv< e million, six hundred and twenty-one e nousand. one hundred and fifty one 1, souls, according to the new census e the American metropolis outnumbers d most of the States of our Union, equ I als the population of several Europe 11) countries, more than doublinj that of Norway, and exceeds what hitherto has been its sole rival Lon don. The claim for nearly a decade that New York City proper was "at least ere {iter in nonulntinn thnn ?Vw City and County of London" now runs: "Census figures for the five boroughs, combined with those thus fai given out for cities and towns of thif population zone, indicate that the Metropolitan District has passed decisively beyond the count for the City, the County and the Outer Ring of London." It is truly an amazing phenomenon, this incorporation of upwards of five million six hundred thousand persons--more than the total population of the United States in 1800 and nearly twice that of Georgia today, Auserica is heartily proud of this gis gantic daughter of the east with her r marvela of industrial and commercial 1 power, her vigor and genius, her int comparable wealth of human interi. eat?Atlanta Journal. 1 SLAT'S DIARY Friday?Went swimming with .la & Bli:-ters today.

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN SITUATION: TWO THINGS TO E All business of the Federal Fai .oan system has been suspended per ing action by the United States ? preme Court as to the constitutiona ty of the act. The Federal Land Ba can get money for farmers only selling its bonds to investors; a investors will not buy low-intere rate bonds until the Court declai they are tax-free. And the Suprei Court will make no decision ur next fall. "In my community," as one frie writes The Progressive Farmer, number of people had applied 1 loans, and now find themselves in very embarrassing position, w their loans held up, and imports farming projects blocked at a tii which will mean a whole >ears losi From all parts of the South simil reports are reaching us. Foth to and country should be interested this matter, for every handicap farm work and farm progress met higher food for city consumers. There are two things which b< . city and country readers can do 1 help remedy the present seiious si atioft: ' 1.Write to your Congressmen. 1 them the facts and ask them Ur hi the United States Treasury t ' enough farm loan bonds to take c 1 of all farmers' applications now proved or that may be approved, 1 til the Supreme Court acts. Congr ' has voted to have the United Sta r TrOHHurv l?liv hnnils pniHifrh In * care of loans approved by Fedc ) land banks prior to March 1, 19 ' but we should ask it to go further ' just indicuted. 7 2. See your local banks. Most ^ our banks have hundreds of fan * depositors. Much of their money farmer money. Now let these bai lend to farmers who iinj themsel temporarily unable to get funds fr a Federal land bank. The banks each county should at least agree carry until fall all loans approved Federal land banks but temporal held up; and since Congress does offer any relief whatever to jt stock land banks, our local ba should try to carry loans which hi * been approved by them and are li wise held up by the Supreme Cou delay.?The Progressive Farmer. 1 RECRUITING STATION ROCK HILL, S.

Look out for kidney troubles and backache. Colds overtax the kidneys ?nd often leave them weak. For weak ; kidneys?well read what a faithful i user says: A. J. Scarborough, 237 Syracuse St., Darlngton, S. C., says: "Some years ago I caught cold from exposure and it settled in my kidneys and made my back lame and sore. I could hardly hend over and when I did so, my back pained terribly. I felt tired and languid and my nerves were in awful shape. At times I would be dizzy and my sight would blur. Nights the kidney secretions would pass too often, although they were scanty and caused a burniing sensation. When I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, I used them. After I had taken the first box, I had fine relief and four boxes cured me of all the kidney complaint." Price 60c., at all dealers.
