Entered at PickenR Fstoffice as Second Class MaIl Matter PICKENS, S. C.: THURSDAY. JULY 8. 1909 A Network of Wireless Lines. One of the most ambitious schemes in which wireless telegraphy is to bear an important part looks to perfecting a system of transmission by which all the British islands in the Pacific shall be connected with one another and with British Columbia. This includes not merely the relatively small islands, but areas of such magnitude as Aus tralia and New Zealand. An American engineer has the matter in charge. and having just returned from a tour of inspection over the region men tioned he reports the enterprise to be entirely feasible, and his report has been transmitted to the British colo nial secretary. In addition to the daring nature of the undertaking, what will excite special wonder is its amazing cheapness. The engineer mentioned estimates that the total cost will not exceed $500,000, and in view of the extraordinary benefits an ticipated that is a trifling sum. Of course no details are given out, but when one reflects on the vast extent of the Pacific ocean, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times, something of the char acter of the plan may be conjectured. The advantage of direct communica tion between British colonies without control of the apparatus by any other than British hands is of course at once apparent, and if the project is carried out successfully it will add a conspicu ous triumph to what has already been wrought by "wireless." Cigarettes in the Navy. In his annual report, Surgeon Gen eral of the Navy Presley M. Rixey recommends that an order be issued by the navy department forbidding the use of cigarettes by all persons in the navy under 21 years of age. it is stated that in three months the crews of the battleship Missouri (700 men) used 1,500 books of cigarette pa pers, 1,200 pounds of smoking tobacco and 37,000 cigarettes. None the less, remarks the Medical Fortnightly, 8,000 cigarettes and 15,000 pounds of candy, together with 1,000 po'unds of navy plug chewing tobacco and 30,000 cigars, were loaded on the Culgoa in the Brooklyn navy yard as a part of the canteen supply. A new Metropolitan Opera house prima donna is Elizabeth Parkinson, a young soprano who has created a real sensation in Paris and London. She is a protege of Mine. Melba, who pre dicts a great future for the western songster. Her life story thus far has been one of incessant toil and a hard, bitter struggle for recognition. In her fight for musical laurels MIle. Parkina -she is billed that wray now, with Kansas City, her birthplace, far in the background-has had the financial aid and good counsel of an older sister, a school teacher; it is this self-sacrific ing sister who has made the young diva's success possible-the sister andi Mmne. Melba. The ancestry of the late king of Sweden Is a practical H'lustration of the pungent saying: "The first king was a fortunate soldier. He who serves his country has no need of an cestors." Ancestry does not count so much in this practical age as results, and he who can bring results about, be he king or peasant, is the man of the hour. It has been discovered that trunks were used by the Romans in the time of Caesar. There is no reason, how ever, to believe that any Roman lady of that period took more than seven trunks with her when she went away from home to be gone a week or two. New York blackmailers have formed a combination and threaten to hiss grand opera singers unless they are bought off. The opera singers might turn the tables on the blackmailers by accepting hissing as a compliment. Women have been appealed to not to shop over eight hours. Their thoughtful husbands in leaving small change for them to shop with usually see to that. Nobody held it against >rd Kelvin that he was a lord. He wasn't born that way, but was asked to come into the peerage to give the position of lord some standing. There are in New York 27.000 women who are supporting their hus bands. But they would probably rather do that in dear old New York than live in luxury anywhere else. The Terra del Fuegans are going to see the most surprising circus parade that ever passed through their thor oughfares. It is a very bad trait in human na ture that we give each other lavish credit for failure and stingy credit for success. New York's fire commissioner won't have to pay $15,000 for two kisses he stole from a lady. Kisses are not Another !emar1Na -- e- t2 tarkey is its splend.d stay.ig iuah ties. Resist the grip germ by giving t plenty of fresh air, and it will fice from you. It seems that the earl of Yarmouth prefers to bask in the warm rays of the missus' check book. All the presidential boonis ar still friendly enough to exchange the com pliments of the season. The young man who pretends be scared because it is leap ye probably make a poor l' - New York city now C es licen ie fees for dogs and matrii:ony, but pan ics and babies are still on the free list. If the countess of Yarmouth ever succeeds in getting rid of this earl she will be in no haste to annex a new one. To confess the exact and eternal truth, a leap-year proposal would be about as surprising a thing as a man could get. In Scotl~and dctors use carrier pi geons as messengers. The stork, ap parently, is compelled to stand for competition. King Oscar of Sweden left a fortune of $6,250,000, showing. what pikers these kings are compared with our own financial kings. The Boston Herald wonders if we eat too much. This depends, we have observed, entirely upon the amount of food we've put away. The world is growing better, in the opinion of Andrew Carnegie. A man with that much money, however, sim ply cannot be a pessimist. "China for the Chinese," is the new cry in the Orient. With the Jap freez ing to Manchuria there isn't much China left for the Chinese. The duel which now hovers over Boni de Castellane because of a street fight is not likely to be nearly so serious as the fight itself. The reading of the mikado's mes sage to the diet lasted just three min utes. Always improving on what they borrow from the west, those Japs. Spain is to have a new $80,000,000 navy which will be built In England. British shipbuilders should have in creased respect for the American navy. Another foreign nobleman has been captured by an American heiress. The American invasion has certainly put the crimps in the European matrimo nial markets. "Never believe anything bad aboit anybody until you know it to be t ue says Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Does the doctor want to destroy half the pleas ure in life? Capt. Hull of the army says sol diers should be encouraged to marry. Well, this is leap year: but we ex pect higher pay is what the captain Is driving at. An Indian of the name of Howling Wolf is talking of running for congress. If he gets in he will be surprised to find himself among some of the most able howlers- extant. A whole lot of people would be per fectly willing to put up with the incon veniences of being prosecuted as trust owners for the sake of the constant advantages of that position. Jealousy, says a French physician, is a disease. If he wishes to confer a favor upon humanity let him dis cover some method of preventing it by vaccination or inoculation. New York now has a set of sun worshipers. They may be valuable, says the Baltimore American, in counterbalancing the night owls, for which the town has become famous. A woman doctor declares that men's dress clothes are as dangerous to health as peek-a-boo waists. Never having worn the peek-a-boos, we hesi tate to deliver any comment on the subject. The earl of Yarmouth intimates that he is ashamed of his connection with Harry Thaw. The Thaw family got over the folly of being proud of Its connection with his disgrace of Yarmouth long ago. Alcohol may enter Into the food of the body as a generator of electricity. but gentlemen on the water wagon who have done considerable experi menting in their time have observed It only as a trouble generator. A scientist has discovered that a grip germ has barbs. These, in ad dition to the thumb-screws, red-hot pinchers and Ice tongs, give him a ecided advantage over such puerile bacilli as those of malaria and small o0. Observe the cautious, yet character istically luminous manner in which Mr. Cleveland leads up to the proposi tion: "This suggests without argu neit a reciprocal connection between the curtailment of opportunities of ivelihood on one side and a reason able obligation of indemnification on the other." According to statistics there were only 56 lynchings in the United States uring the year 1907, which, compared 73 during the previous year, shows a comimendable falling off In the pxlarity of what is known as the "lynch law."~ It also shows an in Creasing respect for the "law of the ad"a condition that is very cheer lg to those interested in right and rational government. Dr. Osler became famous for what e didnt say, and other college profes sors are trying to butt into his class y really saying fool things. Russia needs $93,000,000.
