should attend the campaign meet

they do, to the lavish expend,

Columbia iu recent years in the
conduct of the State governmen..
They need not depend upon th
daily papers Uk furnish them with
full reports of what the candidates
say should be done to bring
||& about relief to the taxpayers.
Some of the daily papers haven i
the facilities to give full reports
of the meetiftgs; others, with the
facilities, will not print full reports
because it doea not suit
them to do so.

for the next two months, with 1
two short-intermissions. In re- 1
cent years' these political meet- i
ings have not been attended b^ ,
the crowds which formerly went
to hear the candidates and the j
campaign has therefore lost muci.
of its picturesqueness. In tlu
days when Ben Tillman was ,
"shelling the woods" for his op- |
ponents many men went to great i
inconvenience to be present at tlu i
meetings to hear what he had to '
say about-them and to listen to
other candidates reply to hi:
tongue lashings. That was nearly
a third of a century ago. No.
since Tillinan was first elected to I
the United Stutes senate wa.t
back in 1894 has any politica '
campaign approached in bitter i
ness?and consequently in inter 1
est?those in which he took par (

Catching Carp and Catfish. |
The most important thing in
matching carp and catfish is the
baiting of the fishing hole or the
Fish basket. Fort Mill and other
York county citizens who fish in
Catawba river and other streams
in this section will therefore read
with interest the following recipe
for preparing their bait: Mix
.? pint of flour with the same
quantity of meal. Stir in water
until the mixture thickens. Then
idil lint cotton.Morn to small bits.
The cotton holds the dough together.
Roll the dough into balls
fhe size of pigeon's eggs, or larger,
put thein in a kettle and boil
I hem five to ten minutes.
In rivers such as the Catawba
and in the creeks of this section
the dough ball never fails as a
lure for carp and catfish. It is
a good bait even when the fishing
hole or basket is not baited.
Another excellent lure for these
Fish is soft new corn.
Call Ford's Offer Fraud.
Henry Ford's offer for the
Muscle Shoals nitrate and power ,
project is called a "fraud" and
in "outright attempt to rob the
government" in a report filed j
Tuesday with the house of representatives
in Washington by
Five Republican members of the
ommittee on military affairs.
Acceptance of the offer of the
A1..1 -
r\i<iumiiii rowrr cuiupuny was
irgcd by tlie members signing
he report. It was stated that
three other members of the committee
would sign the report,
which denounced- the Ford offer
in hitter terms and urged Congress
to authorize the secretary
of war to call for new offers on
he Muscle Shoals property. The
filing of the report came like a
bombshell in the ranks of tile
Ford supporters "and revealed
fui more serious opposition than
had been expected from the Republican
members of the military
committee. - /
The Snow Angel of Shavano.
SShavano, named tor an Indian
jhief, is one of the higher peaks
jf the Continental Divide in Colorado.
The summit of the peak
s more than 14.000 feet above
.he sea and 7,000 feet above Salvia
valley in Colorado.
The Snow Angel, an apparition
that is caused by the winter
snows packing deep into a hoi?ow
of the mountain, appears to
stand oil the mountain side with
ner face and arms raised toward
heaven in an attitude of prayer
or benediction. The long white
robe trails behind her, but shows
lier feet in front. As the feet are
just at the tiiuger line, the angel
appears to be standing on u rug
of deep greeu.

the snow field say that the form
is more than a wile long. It can
be seen for 30 miles up and down
the valley. In the winter when
the mountain is covered with
snow the form is indistinct or
even invisible. But in April as
the snow on the steeper slopes
melts it comes out vaguely. May
smoothes away tlie rough edges
and makes the outline clearer.
Then for one week in mid-June
the angel is perfect and wonderfully
beadtiful. Through July
and August it slowly melts, but
never wholly disappears.

last year on railroads? The average
was 355 miles for each American.
That was 90 miles 1cm than
for the year before. The decreased
travel may be attributed in part
but not wholly to the high passenger
rates. The people are
manifesting a tendency to cling
closer to home during hard times.
When mon^y is flush, everybody
wants to travel. Hard times are
bringing families and homes closer
together.

WBEVIL BEGINS ATTACK/
Cotton Pest at Work in Every
Section of County.
The boll weevil has attacked
the York cotton crop in earnest,
according to John R. Blair, county
demonstration agent, who says,
tne pest is already at work in
every section of the county ai^l
is puncturing the squares on the
more advanced cotton. i
I Onlv the advance cuard nf the
weevil reached York county La$t
year and very little damage was
done to the cotton crop, which
I caused a big number of farmeA
to reach the conclusion that th?
pest would also do little harm t<o
the crop this year, but the presence
of the weevil this early in
the season 'would seem to indicate
that it is more to be feare^l
than these farmers thought. r
At^ his office in York a day. or
! two ago, Mr. Blair, discussing 'the
on uanvuy auTuvaicu met gcnv
measures to stem the weevil atItack.
He advised the farmers nd|
to underrate the weevil menace
and not to wait until the pest ha?l
gained headway before resorting
ito methods of attaek. The most
' important step, just now, in hw
iopinion, was the gathering and
'destroying of punctured squares,
'as the number of squures left in
the field will determine the siafc
|of the next generation of the
j weevil. i
Mr. Blair thinks the extent of
the damage done by the weevil
in York county this year will depend
upon the measures adopted
to stop its ravages and, to a larger
extent, weather conditions in
Willy and August. With an abundarce
of dry weather and sunshine
during those months, th**
pest's activities can be curbed,
whereas much wet weather will
spell disaster.
HITTING THE BULLSEYE. r
The surest way to beat the rei*t
hog is to build a home of you#*
own. . .
Chewing gum is 'bad enough,
but it is better than chewing the
rag.
Many a man has thought he
was the whole cheese when he
was only the hole. x
Hope springs eternal in the
breast of every man who reuds.a
IfW" Catalogue. * If
Most prices are going down,
but there bus been u rise in thermometers
lately.
People who eat in the kitchen
may not be stylish, but they
ki ow what reul comfort is.
l/fhe white man's burden is to
keep other white men from acting
yellow.
Sometimes u man is a victim of
circumstances, and again he js
just a born goat.
Dull times begin to disappear
as soon as people quit talking
about them.
Men may have as much courage
as ever, but few of them wear
whiskers these days.
^Apparently the coal strike is
not as serious a matter as its press
agents said it would be.
After all, the theory of evolution
is about the only way of explaining
the origin of some people
we know.
? Money isn't everything, but if
you have it, you don't worry so
much about other things.
One good thing about tnkii}g
advice is that vou have soniebodv
to blaine when things turn oiut
badly. Jt
"Europe is settling down,"we
are told in a news dispatch froln
London. If this is true, Europe
may eventually settle up.
When a fellow boasts of his
kin folks they seldom boast of
him. * ?
Knock before you enter, but
don't keep it up after you get
inside.
When a man makes a fool of
! himself- he usually blames some
| woman.
| Speaking of the strike, the pripe
I of coal is always a burning quest
ion.
We never realized how maAy
I luxuries were necessary until
they were taxed.
Another objection to the rising
generation is that. it objects to
cui ijr rising.
Sometimes free spech is an expensive
thing, as many a man has
found to his cost.
And sometimes a man nevfer
knows how little a woman thinks
of him until he marries her. i
