M. Simmons, of I'Jorth Carolina, showed its injustice and unfairness in a speech that oc-! t upied nearly thirty pages of the j \ csmiuuui ut'turu. in concluding; ne said of the tariff: "It is a bill in the interest of orofiteering. It is a bill in the interest of the trusts and the monopolies. It is a bill which especially favors the convicted trust. It is a bill which will add additional millionaires in this country. It is a bill which will a.dd enormously to the trusts and the combinations which already prey and i'atten upon the people. It is a bill which will hold down the laborer and the consumer in this country with a grip of iron, and make them, more than they are to-day, the galley slave?>f the protected industries of the "United States, laboring, toiling, producing, and seeing the fruits and the | usufruct of their toil and their life'sblood garnered by a few men who liave made fortunes upon fortunes. , and added millions upon millions, their wealth rises and tours like I'e"iion on Ossa piled, representing he i'ruits of the toil of millions of men who have been ignored in the framing of this bill. "It ought to have been the people's bill, Mr. President, but she profiteers and monopolies have controlled the writting of its schedule. It means burdens, it means swe.it. it means blood to the American consumer. It means wealth, it means fortune to the already rich and nowcrful." DEATH OF SENATOR THOMAS E. WATSON The sudden and unexpected death of Senator Watson, of Georgia, was a shock to his friends and to the people everywhere, for lie was universally known. Like all strong, aggressive characters, the deceased senator had his enemies and his friends, the latter "bound to him as with hoops of steel." It was a stormy life that the great populist led. He had, through his paper, on the stump^ and in the United States Senate enunciated his views on public questions without rear. YY hen he went to the Senate he did not hesitate to take ?ssue with the ablest men in that august and famous body. He had his faults?he was human. But at the grave his faults are buried. The following extract from an editorial in The Atlanta Constitution expresses the sentiments of this paper: "Senator Watson's career ir. many respects one of the most remarkable in the history of this State. "He was a man of unusual magnetism, of outstanding ability, and he possessed rare genius for leadership. "No man who has figured in the public affairs of Georgia, certainly within the last quarter of a century, ever enjoyed such a devoted personal following as that which Snator Watson maintained throughout the vicissitudes of his political career, and it was composed of men and women whose confidence he held by the sheer force of his remarkable personality. "His intellect was not always directed along constructive lines, but regardless of where he went, the rank and file of his following invariably went with him, and were always to be found standing in solid'formation and ready to obey his command." WHAT CONGRESS DID AND DID NOT DO When Congress adjourned Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississiippi, delivered what might be called a funeral oration over the departing Senators. He made this appropriate tribute to the members of the Sixty-seventh Congress: "This Congress closes in a shroud of disappointment. Its failure to solve vital and pressing problems is pathetic. Democrats are not hilarious because they have the interest of the counry a heart. It is a case of disappointment, sympathy, and chacrri n mr?rr? rlolicsht "The Congress ends with a record of increased taxes on the already burdened masses. It ends with increased cost of living to the con: timers. It ends with a failure to carry out pledges to the valient soldiers of the late war. It ends with reorganization and efficiency in th? govern- i ment untouched. It ends with stronger guarantees and broader i freedom to the protected interests to extort in greatt ? degree higher prices I to enslave and rob the many. It ends l with the assurance to the laboring ( )nan that the Republican party will < continue to favor the employer ? Against him and to disregard his ev- i cry interest with respect to reason- ( vble hours, fair wages and humane consideration. It ends in an orgy of 1 extravagance and reckless disregard < ?f economy. c "It ends with an utter repudiation f It ends the most reactionary congress since the time of Atdrich and the most subservient to executive dictaLion since the days of Roosevelt. It tag proven itself to be spineless, leaderless, without courage, program or purpose. It adjourns in a blaze of returning to their respective constituents with their morale broken, ineir lines uiviaea and tneir hopes dissipated. A sad reception awaits you?an insurmountable task of explanation confronts you." SWEET POTATO MARKET SHOULD BE ENLARGED There are undoubtedly tremendous possibilities in sweet potato industry in the South. The people of America as a whole are not using more than one-tenth of the sweet potatoes they should use, and would use if they f\illy undersood how delicious, wholesome, and economical a food the sweet potato is. But if this development is to be realized, the farmers of the South must make plans for advertising and developing the Northern market instead of merely organizing marketing associations to supply the demand thut already exists. < There ought to be a federation of sweet potato curing and marketing associations and a large fund raised for advertising sweet potatoes to Northern customers, just as the growers of raisins, oranges, and prunes have advertised and developed .he market for their products. If Southern sweet potato growers are content to organize simply to supply the present national demand, they a*ill soon be wrestling with an unmarljetabie overproduqtion. But if they will set out in a really effective .vay to teach the Northern market the many and varied uses of the sweet potato, just as the raisin growers have taught the use of raisins, then we have only "touched the hem of .he garment" of sweet potato possi unities.? ine rrogrcsive farmer. 7,000 AT FUNERAL OF SENATOR WATSON Thomson, Ga. Sept. 28?All that was mortal of Thomas E. Watson, junior United States Senator from Georgia, was laid to rest this after.10011 beside his mother and father in a local cemetery. State officials joined the honorary jseort of colleagues of both branches of Congress which accompanied the oody from Washington. The funeral services were conductad al ter a line of approximatly 7,000 nen, women and children had filed past the coffin containing the body it the home ("Hickory Hill"). Dr. E. J. Forrester of Sparta assisted by ilev. J. T. Eakes of this city conducted the services. The official Senatorial party ac-companing the body from Washington was composed of Senators Dial of South Carolina, Fletcher of Flordia, ileflin of Alabama and Harrison of .Mississippi. Congressman Charles F. Crisp of Georgia joined the party in Augusta. CIRCUS USES MODERN METHODS No longer do the working crew of the circus have to tug and pull at .he hig top to roll it up for shipping to the next town, at least not on he majestic Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus which will appear in Bennettsville Wednesday, October 11, T his season the circus has this labor performed by a machine and a 'spool," which saves much time and work The big tent is dropped to he ground after the final performince and the workmen place the . arious flaps and ends in place. The 'spool" is then attached to one side jf the tent and rolls the big top onto t, with the result that much time md labor is saved. This is not the only labor saving levice that the Hagenbeck-Wallace arc us carries. No longer do stakes have to be driven by man-power. Stake driving machines are now earied and there is another machine .vhich puils them up, when ready for lie tearing down of the tent. The circus is carried on three pecial trains and much of the paraphernalia being placed on 70-foot steel flats. There are more than 1,000 men, women and animals carri, /I .... tVw>u<> tfolnu tnuiili.. th.. rt.'inu billposters, programme*--,, baitnermen, mailers, press agents and ctlu-s who 'ravel on the advance enrs. Another ntorosv'.g fuet pertaining to the inner working of the circus is hat between 500 and 000 pounds of beef are needed each day to feed the animals. This great amount is separate from the many pounds necessary in preparing the meals of the performance and working crew. ABOUT THE NEWSPAPER Speaking of what a newspaper does n a community the late United hates Senator Davis, of Illinois, made an address in which he said: "Every year each local paper gives 'rom $200 to $1,000 in free lines to the city or town in which it is lo atcd, praising, and for lodges, . hurches, schools, societies, etc. The ditor in proportion to his means, Iocs more for the town than any oth>r man in it, and he ought to be supported, not because you like or disike him, but because a local paper is >ne of the town's best features. Toiay the local papers are doing more 'or less pay than anything on earth, wd its a fact many cases of froo no I -WHAT HA' YE DONE?" : And they came to the gate within the wall, where Peter hold* the keys, "Stand up, stand, now, TomlinRon, and answer loud and high The good that ye did for the sake of men or ever ye came to die? The good that ye did for the sake of men in little earth so lone!" And the naked sopl of Tomlinson grew white as a rain-washed bone. "This I have read in a book," he said, "and that was told to me. And this I have thought that another man thought of a prince in muscovy"? And Peter twirled the jangling keys, in weariness and wrath "Ye have read, ye have read, ye have thought," he said, and the tale is yet to run: By the worth of the body that once ye had, give answer?what ha' ye done?"?Rudyard Kipling. uinnri nin nirr I MAnUEL DAU DUI I WILL TRY AGAIN French Orphan, Mascot of A. E. F. Brigade, Determined to Be American Citizen. HAS BEEN DEPORTED TWICE Return* as Sailor, Deserts Ship and Enlists in United States Army, but Will Be Sent Home a Third Time. Snn Antonio, Tex.?Petted as the mascot of a brigade oi tlie American army In France, Marcel Jules Dupuya, u French orphan hoy, longed to become a citizen of the United States. Through a series of misfortunes he Is now In Jnll here pending the arrival of a steamship at New York whleh shnll carry him back to Franc* His deportation has been ordered by the government. Although he has had many adventures during the last few years, Jules Is still a boy. He declares th.it his determination to make this country his home has not been changed and that he will coine over again as a stowaway the first chance he gets. The recorded history of the hoy be gan when a government transport re? turning to the United States In 1910 was found to have a little French stowaway among Its soldier passem gei . The youngster, decidedly blond', with pale blue eyes, was so very smal) that he was taken to be ten venrs old! I while In renllty he was fourteen. Adopted u Army Maaoot. Before that data his story was that of many of the children of France. His mother was dead and his father, an officer In the French army, was killed at the battle of Verdun. He was a homeless waif until adopted as a mascot by a company of the French army, and later on by a brigade of the Amerlcr.il army. So, when hla khnklclad friends boarded a transport for home he al^> sneaked aboard. When the transport reached New York, Jules was held by tbe Ellis !? land authorities to be sent back to France Immediately under the Immigration law, which provides thai minors are not eligible Into this conn try unless accompanied by a parent 01 guardian. But through the Intervention of a generous American, Jule> was allowed to stay. Ills American benefactor took the matter np with the Immigration au thorlties at Washington, promised to support and educate the hoy as his own son, and was allowed to take hint In <4iurgc. It was then that trouble began, for Jules proved to be not only bad Sii Silo usual boy fashion, but -developed tendencies which nlnrmed his guardian. He was cared for and treated for two ye rs and finally prnnouneod to he liable to become a social menace at any time. He was then turned over to Immigration authorities and deported as an undesirable allop, his benefactor paying nil the expense*. Deported 8econd Time. The boy came back to the United States immediately as a stowaway and was deported the seeond time. Fie then signed up as a member of the crew of a ship coming to Halveston from FTamburg. Germany, and when the bortt reached port he de| sorted It, eluding Immigration officers, and got as far as Stephenvllle, Tsx. From there he went to Fort Worth and enlisted In the signal corps, United States army, and was sent to Camp Travis. "I learned that h? was at Camp Travis nnd that he had mnde Illegal entry, and Investigation of the case disclosed the hoy's peculiar history and the fact that he has been deported twice before. The fact of his Illegal entry Into the country makes Ills enlistment in the army void," E. W. Smith, Immigration Inspector explained.

A reader asks: "Will orange cane or sorghum kill or injure horses or , cattle in any way?" Under certain conditions the sor- ' ghuins develop a deadly poison (pruBsic acid) in sufficient quani- ^ ties to kill livestock that eat even a q small quantity of the plants. It is also b claimed that Sudan and Johnson < grass, which are non-saccharine (not ^ sweet) sorghums, also sometimes de- v velop this poison, but it is probably u safe to state that the sweet sorghms c more frequently develop the poisog than do the non-saccharine sorghums, t although it is comparatively rare that J any of them poison livestock. ! The poison seems more likely to ( develop in the second growth, es- |, peciallv if this second ornwtli i? ? ted by dry weather or other causes. In fact, a stunted growth, or injury! of the growth from any cause seems to favor the development of the poison. It is rare, if it ever occurs, that there is any poison in sorghum when it makes a free, or rapid^ or natural growth. There is no record, so far as we can find, of sorghum made into hay or silage injuring livestock in this way. It is so rare that poison develops in sorghums that it is doubtful if this should lessen the growth or use of this excellent forage crop for the South. But when the growth is stunted and especially when the second growth which comes on after it has been cut once is stunted in any way care should be exercised in grazing such stunted growth while it is green. It should not be grazed under such conditions unless first tried out with an ammai 01 nine value, possibly ' the best plan is not to pasture a stunted growth of sorghum, but to wait . until it starts growing freely again j or to make it into hay.?The Progres- ) sive Farmer. I GLARING HEADLIGHTS ' Death by the glaring automobile 1 headlight is becoming more and more I common in South Carolina and else- j ] where. Ruin to the automobile itself is an ordinary, every day affair, resulting from the frequent collisions, caused by the,blinding of the drivers' t ayes when meeting another car. Gross ' carelessness and thoughtlessness is at the bottom of it. Surely no person of sane mind, however heartless he might be, would intentionally blind the eyes of another car driver whom 1 i- 4 n-* '* * ? us knautcu m iiivei, uui 11 is aone | every day of the year, thousands and j thousands of times, in thousands and thousands of places. Laws of stringent character have been enacted to control the dangerous practice. They have been given little publicity and have become of almost unconscious and universal knowledge. Arrests and convictions of offenders are rare. Perhaps this is because it is so difficult to catch them. While the thing is so serious that any thing like fun is all out of place in discussing it, we vvould suggest that the law be amended to permit the sufferer to smash the 'blinders" with a brick or anything else he mav have at hand, with impunity to his pocket book or person. ?Florence Daily Times. KILL 1923 WEEVILS NOW C. A. Whittle Soil Imporvement Committee One of the most effective steps in ^ boll weevil control is the early destruction of cotton stalks, just as soon as the cotton can be harvested, or rip them up with a plow. The object is to destroy the cotton plants. ?' * - t? ccvns tun noi ieea on dead cotton stalks. When their food is destroyed they migrate to where they can feed or else go into winter quratters. Whether they are thus driven ^ away from your farm or into winter! quarters the probabilities of their damaging you again next season are greatly reduced. Over most of the cotton belt it is possible to gather the cotton early enouph to permit of the destruction of the cotton stalks three to four weeks before a killing frost will destroy them. Three to four weeks I eurlier in going into winter quarters! j means that death of weevils from1 ^ starvation and cold will be greatly in_ ' creased. It is the last weevils that go into 1 winter quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop the next year. If all of these were starved out by destroying cotton stalks early there would, of course, be an end of the weevil. While one can not expect that cotton will ever be destroyed early and completely enough to accomplish a complete eradication of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done the number of weevils and their damage will be reduced. Chopping down stalks leaves stubs that sprout new growth on which the weevil can feed, therefore, the only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn them completely under the furrow slice. Knowing that many cotton farmers do not plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks the safest general advise is to uproot the stalks with a plow and to watch that no new growth start# up. mrnsmSk ^ Tin ' T CTORIES or QREAT INDIANS By Bbno Scott Watton op/rlfht, Mtl, Wntira W?wip?p?r Union. :hief rain.in.the.face got undeserved fame [ ITITH the possible exception of V sitting Bull and Curley, Custer's* 'row scout, more misinformation has een written about Raln-In-The-Face Itlomagaju) chief of the Hunkpapas han any other Indian who ever lived. Vhen he died September 12, 1006, tlie irord was flashed all over the country but "the Indian who killed General taster Is dead." During the Stanley expedition up be Tellowstone in 1878, Raln.In-The'ace murdered two civilians who had tru.ved from Custer's command, a rime for which he was arrested by Japt. Tom Custer a year later and mpflsoned at Fort Abraham Lincoln, f. D. He escaped and after Joining he hostlles under Sitting Bull he Is aid to have sent word back to the ort that he would have his revenge in the whole Custer family and on Captain Tom In particular. Out of this threat grew the story hat Raln-In-The-Kace after the battle if Little Big Horn had cut out Tom taster's heart and eaten a piece of It. ilrs. Custer in her book "Boots and Saddles" makes such an assertion, but Kain-In-The-Faee In telling his life itory to Dr. Charles A. Eastman, the iuicu oupua writer, aemeu any sucu leed and It ia reasonable to believe .hat the Hunkpapa warrior would tell i member of his own race the truth. More than that. Dr. Porter and Gen;ral Benteen, who found Tom Cuser's body after the battle, have stated jositively that he was not mutilated n this way. In Longfellow's poem "The Revenge >f Rain-In-The-Fuoe." he repeats the itory, although he makes Gen. George duster the victim of the atrocity lnitead of Tom Custer. This may be the >rlgln of the yarn that Rain-In-TheFace was the slayer of Custer. The circumstances connected with tils killing the two civilians from Custer's command showed that he was a ruthless, savage warrior. His bold attack on Fort Totten, N. D., in 1866 ivith two companions, an act of sheer tirnvado growing out of a dare, and tils endurance of the worst, tortures of the Sun Dance without a murmur proved that he was a man utterly indifferent to pain, danger or death. After the Sioux wars were over Unin-In-The-Fuce settled on the Standing Rock reservation and in 1886 applied for admission to the Hampton school, an effort which inspired a second poem labout him?this time from the pen of another great American poet, John G. Whittler. On the reservation Ralnln-Tlie-Face became an Indian pollceinuu.
