'I lie friends of Governor Cooper m Ito are behind the movement to luive him elected lo the supreme court at the session of the General Assembly which meets in 'January have an uphill fight on their hands, not because there is doubt in the minds of any considerable number of the legislators of the governor's ability to make a learned and fair jurist, but because of the view many \ ill hold that by electing hiin to the supreme court the will pf tin people is choosing him governor would be set aside, involving the elevation of the lieutenant governor to the governorship in circumstances which were not contemplated when this latter official was elected. For this very reason '1 he Times concludes that the General Assembly will be slow to transfer Governor Cooper from the executive office to the judiciary. although it can be said in all truth that he is much more to In desired as a member of the supreme court than some other men \\ e know of who have been chosen for that exalted station.

We . are not quite certain that so much can he said of every man who has been a member of the supreme court of South Carolina. The Newberry Observer bus a poor opinion of Armistice day. in which a considerable number of people will share. In the lust issue of that excellent paper to reach this office we read: "What .?ipnificance is there in the name 'armistice?' It does not mean tin* end of war; it only means a suspension of war while tin combatants may debate the question of peace. When future genera t ion > hi America shall celebrate 'Armistice day' they will have to he told why?that is, if the celebration shall he kept up. The ever recurring question will he.'Why?' Who ever heard before of a nation celebrating an 'armistice?' It is something altogether new and strange in this world's history. Already people are beginning to have a distaste for the word 'armistice' and 'disarmament/ and for the word 'peace' itself seeing to what base political and partisan uses they have been brought by the ruling party in America." Fires Burning 130 Years. For more than 130 years fires have been burning continuously near Fort Norman, not far south from the Arctic circle. Man did not light them, nor does man tend to their burning. They feed en immense seams of lignite that, like some coal seams, have ignited spontaneously. Alexander Mack< lizie. the explorer, first reported them in 1789, and at the time lie noticed that the heat from the subterranean fires had burned to a brick red the shales that outcrop along the banks of the river that he named after himself. In facl. the shale beds had been converted into massive red bricks. Jt is likely that the fires had been biiriiint* iiihiiv vmi ru Imfur." r* x " ' *"* * Mackenzie saw them. Virtually all th? explorers who have visited that part of the Mackenzie river basin have noticed the underground fires, which make themselves known hv the huge periodic bursts of smoke. Armistice Car War Memorial. The car in which the (lerman plenipotentiaries, headed by Mathias Erzberger, signed the arm is. tiee which brought to a conclusion the hostilities of the World war, was reeeutly installed in the Museum de Armee, in Paris, as [ the French national memorial of victory. For three days the German representatives had considered the terms of the allies, while the two trains lay near the ruined village of Senlis in the forest of Compeigne fiiully affixing their signatures at 5 o'clock. French time; on the morning; of Novem ber 11, 1918. The armistice be came effective six hours later. Few 'documents in all history have been of greater consequence than the armistice, and the car ir which it was signed is considered a memorial worthy of being preserved for future generations The interior of the car is arranged just as it was when the armis tice document was signed on the battlefield. Americans Invade Mexico. A* A rA ivu m IIW?? r?\|u i u in im greatest influx of Americans since the outbreak of the revolution in that country in 1910. The newcomers. for the most part, are new to the country ami are what the Mexicans, in mining terminology. designate as "buscones" or "hunters." Judging from uppearanees, few of the Americans have an over abundance of money of their own to invest in en terprises, but many of them un doubtedlv represent capital in the l:nited States. Supper For Junior Order. An oyster supper was enjoyed by members of the local council of the Junior Order II. A. M. ami a few visiting Juniors from Rock Hill yesterday evening in the Masonic hall.
