Some so lution of It will be found in the course of time, and we may be upon the very brink of the great discovery.

Charleston Post. A dispatch tells of a narrow escai>e of the German emperor and his staff from falling bombs while watching op erations In Gallcla. According to a Ihidapest dispatch, a heavy shell burst r?00 yards from the Emperor among iiome automobiles, destroying several, including the Emperor's, and killing Ids chauffeur. The Emperor had left his car only l."? minutes before. As more 'Russian shells were falling In the neighborhood the Emperor and his staff left hastily in machines which they commandeered, and. unfortunate ly were not hurt.

"Tills will in no way absolve . the municipal authorities from enforcing the hnv^ainst the illicit sale of liquor In their city. Heretofore it has hrerr a custom in Charleston to divide the county betwoeiV the municipal authori ties and the sheriff, the police having charge of tin> city, the sheriff having charge of- the country district*.

"I took tills Step as I was forced to the conclusion that permanent re sults were not being obtained lu Charleston."' Mayor Grace, in commenting on tlie statement of Governor Manning an nounced the npiKdntipent of cohstflF -hies in Charleston, said to The Keco(fti this Hftenvrtjtm : "I am now convinced that Gover nor Manning has decided to take a part in ?ur Charleston municipal cam paign. Every act of his has conlirm ed this suspicion. He has also. I be lieve, been playing to the galleries solely for political purposes of his own throughout the state. He has enr^ piratically denied both of these charges^ but I am now couqielied to say that I doubt his word! "My doubts are continued by the fact that he projected into the great est publicity his letters and tele^rnms to me. giving them out even before* they reached my Iwtnd*. <>n the other i hand, he has deliberately suppressed certain exceedingly compromising let ters written by me putting him in a ridiculous , delimna, and, in one iit stanee, when suppressing a letter which he was calle/l upon, to give out,, lie even tried to create the Impression that It had been suppressed through some wish of mine, "Even when 1 4;as in the infiruiaryi stricken, lie expected results from my sick bed. and whatever results I achiev ed. although In one breath he compli mented me , for them, lie would in the next breath criticise me for not per-' forming miracles. "The reason why he has resorted toj the subterfuge of billeting constable*] Ion Charleston ostensibly to assist our sheriff, 1^ because on the one hand he 1^ politically afraid to apply the Ker-i shaw logic to the Charleston sheriff, and on the othct'hand because the Charleston sheriff is himself afraid not to respond to the demands of the gov ernor.

I would have resigned last year hut wished to complete the work of the Public Library which I had begun. Tiie time is rl|?e for some one else to lake in.v place. I have given the League hIx years of my life ? my brain, my heart, uiy time. Six years ago the League consisted <>f six ladies appoint ed from the six wards to assist Mayor Prank Zemp and the Park Committee. Our growth has been wonderful ? (18 names being on our membership list and we have had the sympathy and en couragement of almost all of the citi zens of the town, lint we must keep on progressing and growing until all tin? women of the town are members <>f our League. Mayor Yates complimented us the other day by calling us "the most rcp rosH'Uatlve and important body of wo men in the eity." I feel we have jus titled our motto: "By their work?, y?^ shall know them." Since joining the Federation, the .scope of our work has enlarged to such an extent that we are now like a city federation of clubs. The work bus Increased accordingly and we must now sub divide It- so that the incom ing president will have less to do.
