AN HONOR WORTHILY BESTOWED In Birmingham, Alabama, a fewdays ago there was a loving cup valued at $">00.00 awarded by the Daily News of Birmingham. The paper made the offer of the lovng cup to be given to the city's greatest benefactor. It was decided by the committee that the cup should be awarded to Dr. James A. Bryan, pastor of the third Presbyterian Church. Out of 57 nominations for the cup, Dr. Bryan was selected. His kindness of heart in relieving distress was shown in the relation of many pathetic incidents. Dr. Bryan's worthiness was not based on any spectacular deed; no large gift of money was I credited to his account; no single deed of heroism, but rather the summing up of thiity-two years of humble service to his fellow man. Thy good Doctor's deeds were done quietly and just where they would do the most good. This incident among many others was related: "Dr. Bryaln was going out in the WM..VI J wuv UUJ , ill <1 I UlU L tll , WIIL* II he came upon sin old man weeping over the loss of a mule which had just I died in harness. The preacher was soon in possession of all the facts, which briefly, were, that the old farmer had no money or credit to buy another mule. Without a moment's hesitation he put his hand on 'he old man's shoulder and said, 'Come on. brother, I'll sell the Ford and buy you a mule,' which he did." | IT WAS NOT A UNION BOLT An incident illustrating the absurdity and the expensivenss of some of the rules of the Labor Union as applied to railroads, was related by Congressman Blanton, of Texas, in a recent speech in Congress, as follows: "An engineer stopped at a little station and found that a bolt hail been lost out of some part of the engine. He had such a bolt in his engine cab box that cost about 8 cents that lie could huve put in there in three minutes and put it in good, his engine would have been in lirstclass shape; but under the rules of his organization he could not touch the bolt, and he could not touch the engine. He had to stop that engine and that train full of passengers at that little station, and wire in to the next division,some thirty-odd miles and have them send an engine and a r>.i I...... -I : * - ? mi m u iin.-enaiuc.-s hi 11, oui there for a little 8-cent bolt to put into tile engine. The train was delayed four hours and a half, and that one little bolt cost the railroad company an immense amount of money, which the people have to pay in thL. increased taritls." A PERTINENT QUESTION Congressman \V. F. Stevenson occasionally nets after the Republican-with a sharp stick. When the discussion was on regarding 1 l.OOOpresidential postmasters and 42,000 fourth class postmasters, Mr. Stevension said to Mr. Wadden, Republican leader of Illinois: "Do I understand, then, that the gentleman is in favor of letting the new administration till all the presidential offices and then cover them with civil service, which will protect them, regardless of the administration that comes in thereafter?" Sharp practice that by the Republicans, but perhaps it won't work.

Columbia, Feb 21.?Speaking at s meeting of the South Carolina Agri cultural and Mechanical Society or last Wednesday night, former Cover nor Richard I. Manning declared thai financial ruin faces the South unless there is a material reduction in thr cotton acreage this year. He declarer that there are thousands of peoplt who do not yet realize the seriousness of the situation. Mr. Manning said that there was s large surplus of cotton on hand and that the production of anything ovei a half crop this year would mean ruinous prices next fall. He said that thr truth of the situation ought to be driven home to every citizen of the State A letter which is being sent out ov or the country by the thousands by s prominent New York banker in which the statement is made that the welfare of the whole country rests on the outcome of the cotton depression was quoted by Governor Manning. The banker warned the South that credit* extended it by the bankers of the North would be regulated by the reduction in cotton acreage. Governor Manning urged the Society to lend its hearty support to the acreage reduction campaign being conducted by the American Cotton Association. At the conclusion of Mr. Manning's remarks, the society unanimously adopted a resolution offered by Capt G. N. Nickles of Due West, endorsing the acreage reduction campaign ol the American Cotton Association anc calling on every farmer of the Statt to not plant over one-third of his cul tivated land in cotton. The resolutior asks every organization in the State to support the campaign being con ducted by the South Carolina Divisor f the American Cotton Association.

Nothing in the deeds of this militia colonel, who had lost every fight that he had fought, pointed him out as the one and only man to meet the armies of the greatest empire in the world. Nothing in the words of this farmer, who never made a speech, inspired , the congress at Philadelphia to turn to him by unanimous consent as the lender of the young nation. Yet' Putrlck Henry testified that this si- * lent member was "the greatest man" In an assemblage which Lord ChatI 1 ' George Washington. hnm declared never had Its superior anywhere in history. As he went to the front, he met a courier on a lathered horse, bearing the dreadful news of Bunber Hill. "Did the militia light?" was all he wished to know. "Yes." "Then the liberties of the country are safe." Although it Is said that Washington never In his life read but one book on the art of war, he knew that If the people would only stand up to the king's regulars, they could lose every battle and still defeat an enemy who was 8,000 miles from his base. The Revolution was not won by the sword of Washington, but by his Indomitable character. It was his character, slowly built up by poverty and > struggle, which had given him from the start the leadership over men, who talked more; yes, and who knew more. The Invincible fortitude of a people, heroically embodied In him, overthrew the kloir's nrmv nnd nnvw an* Mo Hessians. The unconquerable spirit of the 3,000 hunted, hungering, shir- ^ erlng, ragged Continentals of Valley Forge wrested from the British crown an empire greater than all the conquests made by Napoleon's grand amiy. At the last, as the Americans leaped those last hurdles to Independence; the British redoubts at Yorktown, Washington only said: "The work is done and well done. Bring me my horse," The war was over, but the noblest victory was yet to come. Having received the surrender sword of Corawnllls, Washington surrendered his own, unstained by personal ambition, to the people who had entrusted It to him and went back to his farm, from which he was called to become the first president of the republic. No president has been more bitterly abused than the first, nis cabinet quarreled until Jefferson, his secretary of state, resigned, and his next secretary, Edmund Randolph, basely betrayed ldtn. His vice president, John Adams, called him "an old mutton head." who had "not been found out only because he k?'pt his mouth shut." "Treacherous in private friendship and a hypocrite In public life," Thomas I'nlne pronounced him. Because he refused to take the side of revolutionary France, "10,000 persons in the streets of Philadelphia"?then the capital? "threatened to drag Washington out of his house." John Adams tells us. Notwithstanding the outbursts of partisanship, he retnlned the confld? nop of the country to the last, when the people at the Inauguration of hfsf successor followed the retiring president Into the street and left the new president ull but deserted. The long task of the homesick exile from Mount Vernon was done. He had found the Union s theory and he had left It a fact. Tie had found the United States paper and he had left It a rock.
