ORANGEBURG, 8. C.—With some
thing like 250 delegates in the city,
the thirty-second annual Sunday
school convention of the state, was
called to order in this city. The
preparations for the convention, have
gone through nicely, and the dele
gates seem to be having a pleasar’
stay in the city as well as derlvi* - *
much benefit from the many ad
dresses that are being given by some
of the leading men of the country in
this social line.
One very sad incident of the con

accident happening to the 12-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Wado, of Green
wood, who is a delegate to the con
vention here. Tuesday morning,

If you haven’t heard her yet, by all
means make it your business to hear
Miss Edna Farlow in a singing and
dancing act this week at the Area
dium.
If you have any music in your
make-up at all, you will find yourself
admiring the petite young soubretto
who sings as good as she dances, and
dances as good as the best in her
class.
Miss Farlow is as attractive as she
is clever. She is the possessor of a
voice of surprising volume and
strength, and sings with warmth and
taste. Her dance is artistic and of
the sort that commands admiration.
In addition she is of an attractive
personality.
Sne has some new songs for today
and the balance of the week. You
must hear her. The Bingham and
Gable instrumental team will also put
on new music, and their reputation
for “making good” is now well estab
lished.
And as to the Wren Trio, why if
they can’t please you, then you mu»l
be hard to please, indeed. The Ar
cadlum has gone to extra expense to
secure this list of talent for your
delectation this week. A better uro
gram couldn’t have been arranged.
You will say so when you see it.
There Is certainly no better vaude
ville place in the state than the Ar
cadium—"the people’s amusement
house.”

Mrs. Wade received a telegram to the
effect that her little daughter, Irene,
while on her way to school had been
run over by a locomotive, and her
leg had been horribly mangled. It
necessitated an operation. Mrs.
Wade attempted to catch the train
for Columbia, and got to the depot
just in time to see the train disap
pearing round the curve.
An automobile was secured, and
she was taken through the country to
the nearest station on the Seaboard,
which train she caught. Shortly
after Mrs. Wade left another mes
sage was received announcing the
death of the little girl.
Prayer was offered at the afternoon
session of the convention, and a let
ter of sympathy was sent to the be
reaved family.
COUS TARIFF
FRMICJETHODS
Former President of Farm
ers Congress Says the Un
heard Majority Should
Have a Hand in Rulings.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—John M.
Stahl, _of Chicago, was one of the
speakers at the National Tariff con
ference. His subject was: "The Un
heard Majority.”
"In advocating a tariff commis
sion,” said Mr. Stahl, ”1 wish, first oi
all, most emphatically to disclaim any
criticism of members of congress that
would impute to them unworthy mo
tives or accuse them of ignorance or
vnintelligence. The faults in our
tariffs can be laid at the door of con
gress only to the extent that it has
resisted changes in the methods of
making tariffs—changes that we be
lieve would result in a better tariff.
Our tarlffß have been faulty, Mr.
Stahl said, because it Is not possible
for members of congress to dig out,
arrange, systematise and digest the
very many facts and circumstances
that must be considered, and be con
sidered logically ic the preparation of
a wise and Just tariff. A tariff com
mission could put before congress
men, in such form that they could b
easily understood and logically used,
the facts that must be rightly used to
form a sane tariff.
Tariff Without Tariff Commission.
"Because we have so far made our
tariffs without a tariff commission is
no reason why we should continue to
do so,” said the qafeaker. "There may
be progress in framing tariffs, as in
other things. Other nations have
made use of tariff commissions, and
we must confess that they have
framed tariffs that do not contain as
many inconsistencies and inequalities
as our own.”
Mr. 9tahl condemned the methods
by which our tariffs have been
framed, and said (hat very varcly, if
aver, is any organization of farmers
or of city workingmen represented at
the hearings before the ways and
means committee of congress.
He continued: “It is In behalf of
the unheard majority and large ma
jority of the American people that we
would plead for a tariff commission.
Such commission would have time to
hear all classes and ail industries. As
tariffs are framed now, the rich and
powerful are heard and considered
Present and past, methods, which
hear and consider the few and strong,
are in their nature monarchial, con
trary to our scheme of government,
abhorrent to the spirit of democraov
and justice supposed to animate the
American people. A tariff commis
sion woul<J make possible a tariff in
accord with our form of government
and our political ideas—a tariff of the

Unheard Majority.
“And cetainly It Is appropriate that
a farmer should present the case of
the unheard majority, for farmers
constitute the most important part of
that majority. We are more numer
ous than any other class. Of all
classes, we are the greatest pro
ducers and the greatest consumers.
. . . Yet wo have found that as
tariffs have been framed there was
very little time or disposition to con
elder us in adjusting duties. Be
cause of this we feel especially the
need of a commission that would give
our business as producers and our
claims as consumers, fair considera
tion; that would not consider only the
facts presented to it forcibly and
shrewdly by able men, but the facts
presented by workingmen and farm
ers, and even the facts not presented
to It; a commission that would it
self seek out the facts until It had all
of them. And while we plead for
such a commission for ourselves, we
plead for it in behalf of every unit of
the great unheard majority. Wo have
in mind, not only farmers, but every
class. We do not want a tariff to
favor farmers it the expense of
others, but a tariff that will be Just
and helpful to every legitimate In
dustry and every honest man."
