*avv. Entered as second-ciass mativ. postoffice at Chesterfield, South Carolina. inc. musLLt shoals KKUJtCT The two Senators from South Carolina, Hon. Ellison D. Smith a*ul Hon. Nathaniel B. Dial, are entitled to great credit for the zeal and ability with which they advocated the great (muscle shoals power proposition. The bill passed the Senate but. at this writing the other branch of Congress had not acted upon it. There was opposition to the measure by some Senators because of it being located in the South, though, of course, they disclaimed such motive. Hon. J. T. Hetlin, the new Senator from Alabama, also gave the measure the benefit of his signal ability. In summing up the worth to the country and to the farmers of this enterprise Senator Heflin said: "Mr. President, when it is completi ed it will turn out nitrates for fhe i Government and free it from depend"ence on a foreign country for its nitrates. It will furnish fertilizers to farmers, and it will deliver them from tKe clutches of the fertilizer plant, as I said before. Not only that, but the Senator from Utah has shown us that certain power companies are waiting to buy power from this very dam. So it can be made to s"rve four purposes?furnish nitraty to the Government, furnish fertilizers to the relieve farmers from the exorbitant prices now exacted by tin. fertilizer trust, and make money .-ellint; horsepower produced at Muscle Shoals. It will, when finally completed, serve the good mentioned and also prove to Ijh' be a good investment for the CJovern. HELPING THE FARMERS Bk In a inll before ConeTcss Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, seeks to amend the Farm Loan act so that *7* joint stock agricultural banks would be authorized to make loans on cotton and other agricultural products stored in warehouses licensed by the government. j_,oans on agricultural products would be limited to IS months and not exceed <>0 per cent, of value the staple product offered as security for such loan. Each bank must have at least $50,000 stock subscvibed?and ten persons are minimum required for organization of a bank. I WILL By S. E. Kiier I will start anew this morning with a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to stand comp'aing ot my ruthless neighbor's grfced ; I will waste no moment whirring and my heart shall know no tear. I will look sometimes about me foi the things that merit praise; I will search for hidden beauties thai elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment in the paths that 1 must tread I will cease to have resentment when another moves ahead. J will not be swayed by envy when my rival's strength is shown; I will not deny his merit, but I'll strive to prove my own; I will try to see the beauty spread be lore mo, rain or shine? I will cease to preach y >ur duty and be more concerned with mine. fletterheada i Come to Us I vpr^ntj' l |jm/ck/et^re ^ BEGINNING THE DAY | ^ A MAN begins the day In ? goo humor," observed the professo "everything will prosper with him." "You tnlk as though beginning th day In a good humor was as easy a falling off a log," said the low-browe man.

"If a leading business man aske? me to explain my melancholy I eouldn' do it. The world seems to be movini along as though nothing had happened the same old sun is shining on the da; shift, and the scented zephyrs ar blowing through my whiskers as o old.

GEORGE WASHINGTON O i C 1732?(Feb. 22) Born near Fredericksburg, Va. 1753?First expedition to the West. . > 1754?Second expedition. 1755?On staff of Gen. Braddock. 1759?Married Martha Custis. WASHINGTON was made of the same cluy as most Americans ! who have won high leadership and, ' like them, he cnt his teeth on the V crust of poverty. Only four or Ave [ of our presidents came from poorer homes than onr first president and ho , had less schooling thnn fnnr.fiftlia nf I his successors. He was. In fact, the only president In the first forty yenrs I who wus without a college education, i Not starting to school until eight, he had to leave at fourteen to go to work. Thenceforth until the Revolution the _ j woods and fields were his only school- * I room and life his only schoolmaster. I, I We never can truly understand this man If we start with the mistaken Idea 1 that he was the product of wealth and , aristocracy. His people reully were only a plain, though alwnys highly reI spectnble family, living on the outskirts of the cavalier castle which set l, up Its manors In the James river region. George's own father, who at * r . ' Washington's Earliest Portrait. one time hnd been a palling captaip In tlie trade with the mother coun11 try, left his wife and children at his 1/ death live thousand acres of land, mint; ur n-ss unproductive; twentytwo slaves,, a slender purse and a lean larder. While at Mt. Vernon, which his oldest brother, Lawrence, had Inherited, he learned the simple rudiments of surveying, and Lord Fairfax, who lived nearby, employed hltn to survey a vust estate In the Vulley of Virginia. In Ida y6nng manhood Washington found his'"Inclinations strongly bent to arms." To softer arms than those of Mars the young militarist also was | inclined. Prying posterity finds him at sixteen pining for a mysterious "lowland beauty," who would not have the penniless surveyor. He received also by his own confession a "cruel sentence" from a "Miss Betsy," and afterward \vas rejected by Miss Philllpse of New York. At last the oft-dlsappolnted wooer came to the White House on the Pamunkey, and once more he lost _ his heart. The mistress of the manor, I Mrs. Martha Dandridtre Custts. was wisp enough to keep It, being a widow of seven y^ors, the mother of two fatherless children, the owner of large estates. >e When flying embers from the war ,o fields of Europe Ignited the savage forests of the New World, Washington was a militia major, and he was dispatched on a mission to the Ohio, a perilous journey of ten weeks s_ through a wintry desolation. The next year he went again with a hand of soldiers, for now the Seven Years' ? war had spread to America. His campaign was hardly a glorious failure, ^ but he reported that he liked to hear tlie bullets whistle. Now General Bruddock came to scorn the colonial breed while he r' showed them how British regulars fought in proper, soldierly formation. 'F. The undrllled red children of the forest stubbornly refusing to fight on vhe 1e European plan, Bruddock fell amid his panlc-strickcn troops on the Mononga* una. At tne neaa of his prove In the th wilderness the prayers for the dead rc.' were read by Colonel Washington. . I Although Washington had won no battles, he hod made a most Important ,n conquest. When the Seven Years' war r- came he was still an Kngllshman, and I'e to him an Island three thousand miles er away still was home. In his contact n8 with lirltish otlicers he was shocked to find them aliens to him and his New _ World and himself only a colonial in their eyes. With native condescension they undertook to tench him his place, hut with native Independence he objected. iv in*- nme tne seven - Ycars' war wan over the colonial colonel no longer was an Englishman. That lllualon was I gone and had left Washington an American. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured With LOCAL.
