South Carolina. j , democrats win a point Score a victory for the Democrats and the Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only. When the proposition came up in the Senate to continue the dye embargo in favor of the 1 dye monopoly in the United States 1 thirteen Republicans joined with j twenty-three Democrats in opposition to the proposal. The dye industry has been coddled and petted and favored in every way, because it was an alleged infant industry. It has become a full grown giant and does not need protection. Coal tar and other similar products that have been so highly protected should now be cheaper. the senate commands the sun to stand still An inspection of the Congressional Record reveals a very peculiar situation as to the proceedings of the Senate. In order that the tariff may be discussed and nothing else interfere with it, the proceedings of the Senate are headed, "Legislative Day of Thursday, April 20, 1922." Day after day thiH heading appears in the Record. Instead of adjourning after the days work is done the Senate takes a recess until the next day. So there is no prayer by the chaplain as he is only supposed to pray every day but this day in July or August is, in legislative fiction, April 20. The tariff bill is responsible for a great deal of nonsense but this idea of saying this hot day in August is not August at all, but is in April! Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, referring to the situation, said in a recent speech: "It is astonishing to state that while the calendars unanimously inform us that this is the 10th of July, 1922, as a matter of fact in the Senate it is the 20th of April, 1922. In order to facilitate one particular subject of legislation the Senate of the United States has disregarded the scientific laws which regulate the expression of time. Like Joshua of old, it has commanded that the sun stand still. While the people of the United States and the world look on with amazement at these proceedings, the clock, which governs them, reflects the hour of 12 noon, April 20, 1922. CONSOLATION FOR HARDING Of course President Harding knows . that he cannot be re-elected to the high office he now holds but the Flat head Indians have made him an honorary member of their tribe.

'HUMAN INTEREST" IN THE DAILY NEWS Washington, July 27.?In New ?a mnn?> i ui i\, ? iiutc aiijiiini^ niaj f uiiu uiaujr things do, happen, a woman was shot live times by her husband because he . aught her going out with other men. Most people shot even once will complain about it, but Mrs. Margaret Maher not only refused to swear out information against her husband, but defied the judge, who orderd her, in vhe public interest to do so. "I deserved to be shot !* she answered. If you have a supposed "dud" or dead shell which you have brought as a souvenir from "over there," make sure it isn't loaded. A Watertown, New York, man had a shell used as a door weight, and the sun heated it and it exploded and killed eight children. Two woman stowaways who managed to conceal themselves until they reached this country from Russia, claimed to be opera singers and able to support themselves. They were ordered deported back to Russia. Whereupon both of them said that iooner than return they would kill themselves, as death was infinitely preferable to the dishonor, torture ind degredation which would be theii lot if they went back to the land of Bolshevism and Soviet government. A Maiden, Mass., man was cruel to his horse, failing to provide it wtih proper shelter and food. The wisejudge, before whom the man was orought, ordered the horse turned out to graze and the man to be confined for two days and nights in the horse's stable to see how it felt to be a horse. President Harding hasn't come right out in meeting and said that daylight saving without a clock change tried out on ofiieial Washington, D. C., is a failure exactly, but he has said, to the utter relief of every one concerned, that as far as this administration can rule it, daylight saving in Washington is dead in the future, unless Congress acts. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, D. C., July 31.?The coal strike demonstrates that Harding has little force?probably les sthan raft?but it also proves another thing?that he has no sympathy in his heart for the man who toils. His every move, weak and undecisive though it may be, leans toward the interests of the big corporations. Eighteen weeks ago 000,000 union coal miners were put out of work by the concerted action of the mine owners, due to the simple fact that the simple fact that the existing wage igerements had reached their expiration and the owners refused to meet i delegatio from the workers and fix ap a new schedule of wages for the coming year. In all this time no coal has been mined by union miners except in Kentucky. The result is there is not enough coal to supply summer needs of industry, and not a ton on hands for the coming winter. If all the miners should go to work tonorrow there would still be a scarcity >f coal all winter long. As this is writ:en there is no immediate prospect of vork being resumed. In 1902 Roosevelt faced a similar situation and he promptly ordered the nvners to open up their mines at the >1(1 rates of pay and he would appoint i ommission to look into the matter of wages and bring the owners and workers to an agreement; he did, and thus settled the problem. Harding had that xample before him, and all of the nvners in the country knew of it, but hey did not want this done. What hey did want was that the workers should come on the owners' terms and non<? other. A good many of us have become impatient at times with ome f the more extreme attitude of oerain labor leaders, but this is some.vhat rlitforfnt An <.v..n.:n..n..? .u? balance sheet of some of the biggest oal producing companies will show hat they have profited well, while nany dealers have grown rich off the irices obtained for soal in the last 'ew years.

Spotted Tail, drunk with power, misused Ids high office for personal ends. His people murmured hut were powerless. Then he coveted the wife of Medicine Hear and, coveting. took her. Crow Dog, a relative of Medicine Hear, remembered his vow. On August .ri, 1881, he met Spotted Tail and shot him dead, after which he gave himself up. He was tried at Deadwood, S. D? convicted of murder and sentenced to tie hanged. Crow Dog asked permission to say farewell to his family, promising to return on the day set Tor the execution. When Crow Dog did not show upfhe icxt day, Indian police were dispatched to get him. He was not at home and 5 lis wife told them that the chief had wished to return to prison alone and would surely keep his promise. The ext day the chief walked Into the |uil at Rapid City.

"In fact, in traveling over several ates of the South and West I have et to see a livestock section which is ot prosperous," continues Prof. Starey. There are many farmers in South arolina who believe that on the averse beef prodution does not pay. Peraps they are right. But we have the ight to ask who is it that it does not ay? There are several things which light contribute to the correct anwer to this question, some of which re poor soils, poor pastures scrub attle, free range, iseasea, and the ke. Prof. Starkey is of the opinion, owever, that when we get the right ort of pasture, beef production will ay.

IEALTH, HAIL, LIVE STOCK BANCS 11 11 11 1 1 ? 1 11 ?? agricultural credit and insurance Clerason College, July 20.?The ^ United States Department of Agriculture, through the Bureau of Farm Economics, has begun a new phase of Extension work in South Carolina in the form of a project in agricultural credit and insurance, which will promote the credit union among farmers as a method of obtaining a short term personal credit; and mutual fire and livestock insurance as a protec-" tion against fire and death of livestock by disease or accident. To carry on this work, Dr. W. H. Mills has been secured as specialist in agricultural credit and insurance. South Carolina has had a credit union law since 1915 but this law has not been used, chiefly because it did not have anyone charged with the duty of promoting the organiation of credit unions and also because it is defective in several particulars. While there are some twelve or more farmers' mutual fire insurance companies which have proved through 25 years to be of great benefit because of the low cost of protection they have given, there is room for perhaps as many more, thinks Dr. Mills. ?? ? ? : i_ l r ?ura?t.o u? "KThe state now leads the South in the number of purebred cattle, but very few of these are insured, and of course still fewer high grade cattle. The cost of such insurance is so high to be practically prohibitive, while in Europe, mutual cattle insurance is almost universal and the cost is low. Again, as the expense of raising tobocco and other crops increases with the higher cost of land, labor and fer- t:lizcr, it becomes more and more necessary that farmers shall protect themselves against other losses, such as that by hail. Only two mutual live- , stock companies and two mutual hail companies now exist in the fjt.ate. To study the whole subject of mutual insurance and when feasible to organize new companies is the purpose of the Department of Ariculture in j appointing Dr. Mills as special agent for this work. County agents and others, who remember that Dr. Mills was formerly specialist in rural organization, will be glad to know that he comes back into the Extension Service in this new capacity. He will be stationed at Clemson College and will be available for engagements through . the county agents for work as indicat| cd above. ONE THOUSAND MEMBERS MORE Two million pounds of tobacco we**e signed up with the Tristate pool in South P.nroli nn lficf uroalr 44 A TVinn_ ! sand Members More" is the slogan | for the few days that remain , until July 31st, when the last contract from South Carolina will be signed. 'the closing up of all auction warehouses in a number of the large market towns is aiding the landslide of contracts which pours into headquarters. The business men and bankers of Florence set the pace in the campaigning last week during which forty to ^ fifty business men of the headquarters town solicited contracts for the As' sociation with highly successful re! suits. One hundred contracts mailed in from Lake City last week have added to the thousands of acres of Association tobacco which now surround the biggest market of the State. Mullins is another market which is now surrounded by cooperative growers who have been backed steadily by leading bankers and merchants of the town, for more than a hundred I contracts were signed there recently. J Opposition to the Association with| ered throughout South Carolina last week, as field workers from four States advanced on the east side of the Pee Dee river under the leadership of W. E. Lee, Field Service Representative of the Asa'n. for South Carolina, and on the west side of the river with L. E. Rogers directing the attack. Manning is another town which is ; heavily backing the cooperative mar keting movement. The recent transfer of R. D. Clark has made Manning mother strong cooperative center. With 78,000 members in the Association today, with forty million dollars behind the Association, with town after town closing the auction houses, with a landslide of new members join iiik uany, me slogan of "A Thousand Members More" should become a fact by the night of Monday, July 31st. Next Monday marks the last chance for the farmers of South Carolina to sign the contruct which hns been called their New Declaration of Independense and the best form of demoracy practised in America.
