The man who loves a square meal doesn't always love a square deal. The legislature went through a session without hauling nut the steam roller. That "gallon n month" law will nave many man a peck of trouble a month. What has become of the old fashioned man who used to dig his sassafras root in February? Mexico is falling into a rut?they haven't trotted out u new pres. in nigh on to three weeks. Wo are paying 0 cents for bread hut have failed to seo so far that "we will niuke our loaves much bigger." Now that tho legislature has udjourned there will bo a big demand In all counties of tho State for square meals. "Fall to Regain Lost Trenches.'?Headline. We imagine a lost trench would bo about aa hnnl to locato os a lost buttonhole. We suppose some folks arc figuring already how under that "gallon a month" law they can unter for oil twelve months at one time. Having missed its regular Sunday killing for sev eral months, Anderson is apparently trying to make up for the blank page* of her record. It Is claimed that food la cheaper in Gaffney than anywhere else. Well, It would take some big in ducement like that to got us to livo there. Gov. Manning announced last night that he had fired four members of the asylum board. Which shows that our new governor has got the s puni;. Our Idea of one with a cross to bear Is that comedian in "The Prince of Tonight ' who has to fill that big stomach with food at present prices. SVlth that new "gallon a month" lnw in effect, we suppose the.fellow who has been In the habit of urnlng you to "have a drink" will half-heartedly ai.ggcst that you "take a smell." Some folks may.not have been In the habit of giving Baptist measure, but with that "gallon Month" law in effect bet they will hope and pray that whiskey dealers stand by it. j Wo are fearful that Anderson Is going to hove a j ticket scalpers' scandal before that "handsome now theatre" is a month old.?

LAW ENFORCEMENT. With tho legislature program out of (he way. It Is possible Governor Manning is going to set him self'to the task of tightening up the machinery of! taw enforcement. He made his campaign for gov ernor on this platform.

The heart is a very delicate vital part. And when it rtops It stops. And when it slops, there is a pro found silence, a long eternal silence.

Do wo not need the one day that is called the Lord's liny as a reminder? Do wo not need to listen to men who apeak to us of other things than those as think of all the other days?

In tbe elation ot sudden success; at times when his soldiers were deserting by hundreds and when maligner.-, plots were formed against bis reputation, amid the constant quarrels, rivalries and Jealousies of his subordinates, In the* dark hour, of national In gratitude, .and in the midst of tho .moat universal and intoxicating flattery, ho was always the same calm, wise, just, and single minded man, pursuing the course which ho believed to be right without fear or favor or fanaticism;, equally free from ,the passions that-spring from Imagination. Ho never ncted on tho Impulse of on absorbing or uncalcuiat ing enthuslam, and ho valued very highly fortune, position, and reputation: but at, the command of duty he was ready to risk and sacrifice them aN He was, in the highest sense of the words, a gen Cleninn and a man or honor, and ho carried Into public lite tlio severest standard of private murals. It was at first the constant dread ; large sections jot the American people that it tin i Id government wer-- overthrown they would lall int.? the hands <>i j military adventurers and undergo ?.. yoke of mill ; lary despotism. It was mainly i irai . parent I integrity of the eharttcter of Washington thai ilis . pelieil tin' tear. It was always known by his ' friends, anil ii was soon acknowledge! hy the whole I nation, and hy the English them* Ivea, that in Washington America had fourni a 1 ader who could he induced hy no earthly motive t<. : II a falsehood or to break an engagement or to commit any dis honorable act. Men of this moral I,*.ne ar?. huppilj not rure. and we have all met ihem in our ex perience; but there is scarcely another instance i:-. history or Hitch a man having reached and main tained the highest position in the convulsions of civil war and of a feat popular ugitalion.?Lecky's "American Itovolui ?n." W.t It , Mlr.ii I HK SF..1. When I he three British nrmored cruisers Aboiiklr. liogue and Cressy were nil sunk within the apace of about an hour by on? German subma rine, the world was given a startling demonstra tion of the possibilities of this type of underwater lighting craft. In the subsequent lighting at sea these vessels have played such an important part as c.? give considerable justification to Admiral Sir Percy Scott'.; prediction that when submarine!! have been f ii if y developed they wli! entirely dis place the great dreadnoughts that form the prin cipal light Ing strengt h of the navies of the present lime. During the five years preceding the war. sub marine fighting crafts hail been developed to a high state of elflclency. Among the new vessels, submersibles had almost entirely superseded the original type that bore the name of submarine. For understanding the character of the lighting craft that has come into such ,> eminence it ii; necessary to distinguish between the two types of VCcScln. The original submarine v/as designed pri marily lo operate under water and was far from being r ??eaworthy craft when running on the sur race. These vessel:; were therefore valuable main ly for coast ilrfense and for operation's within re r.lrleteil limits in connection with a licet -of wur Bhips. The submarine, while having all the under water efficiency of the submarine, is built to op erate on the surface as well, and is practically as tcaworthy as a destroyer. Such vessels are cap able of making long voyages and or taking the of fensive Independently and not simply an auxiliaries to a fleet of warshipB. All the later vessels, while commonly called submarines, are in fact sub mersibles. The original submarines still in service are used almost exclusively for coast defense. The submarine In shaped like a cigar, a cross section nt any point along the hull being practically circular. In the submersible thin shape Is retained Tor the Inner shell, but over this Is built a hull that gives the completed vessel the shape of a torpedo boat. The inner shell contains all the working parts o? the boat, while the space between the two sheila Is utilised for the water-ballast compart ments which, when filled, overcome the buoyancy of the craft depth beneath the water. Tl>< interior or a submers.ll .le impresses one as being a Ihiug or supreme nervous energy, with every detail devoted to the accomplishment of just one thing?that of slipping In close to the enemy's ship arid sinking it with a torpedo. So completely is the vessel filled with machlnei*y and equipment for this purpose that only very limited space can bo ' utilized fqr! quartering and feeding the crew. While the newer submersibles are equipped with tubes for firing torpedoes from the stern and even from the side, the principal fighting equipment Is at the bow. Here ore located either'two or four torpedo tubes. Unlike the ;:uns of a battleship, these tubes must be aimed at the mark by aiming the entire vessel. Each tube is closed by a trap door that opens automatically when the torpedo Is fired and closed the Instant the torpedo has started on Its journey of destruction. Hack of the torpedo tubes Is r. comportment for storage of torpedoes and In this arc also sleeping quarters for the of ficers of the vessel. In the deck above this com partment is a hatch for taking in the torpedoes. Next 'crues a compartment containing one of the two electric storage batteries which furnish pow or for propelling the vessel when it Is under water. Back of this, at the center of the vessel. Is the central operating compartment, from which every movement of the vessel Is controlled/ Next comes a compartment containing the second set of stor age batteries, then the engine room and workshop, and finally the compartment at the stern containing the propelling and steering machinery. The crew, which often numbers from 20 to 30 men on a sub mersible, are usually quartered In hammocks In the compartments containing the storage batteries. Of all the equipment of submarine vessels the most Important Is the periscope, a simple devico that serves as the eyes of the craft when it is run ning submerged. On the latest submersibles two of these instruments arc used, one being fixed to give a view straight ahead and the other being so mounted that It can be turned to face in any direc tion. Although serving such a vital part in the"op eration of a submaHne the periscope is exceeding ly cln.plc In construction. The light enters the hood of the. periscope horizontally. : It then passes through a prismatic lens that deflects it downward at right angles into the vertlcie shaft of the per iscope. At the bottom of the shaft Is a second lens that again turns the rays of light,to a horizontal direction. This is the simplest to; in of the per locbpo. Usually there arc add it le nul lenses for magnifying the view. After pasSiug through the bottom lena the Image Is either thrown on a Serien or is viewed "directly through a teloecovo by the officer in command. The' one disadvantage in the periscope is that it gives only a limited view in the one direction In which it happens to be facing. At tempts have been made to develop n panorama per iscope that uses n "flsh-eyo" lens and giveB a view of the entire horizon, but this device has not yet been developed sufficiently lo come into general ?iso. When the submarine Is submerged, only the tops of the periscopes are visible above the surface. These are difficult to see and still moro^dimcult to hit. and this accounts .for the apparent case with which a submarine can steal up w)thin range of a battleship add* flro its torpedo without being dis covered. .'^X-l^^^-OA^is* These Real Reductions on Evans Quality Clothes are Reducing Stocks Rapidly?Your Best Opportu nity Is Now. 12 15 18 20 25 ,00 Men's Suits .... $6.95 .50 Men's Suits .... 8.95 .00 Men's Suits . . , .00 Men's Suits . . .00 Men's Suits . . .50 Men's Suits . . .00 Men's Suits . . 10.95 12.95 14.95 17.95 ?3.50 Men's 4.00 Men's 4.50 Men's 5.00 Men's 6.00 Men's 0.50 Men's All $2.50 and $2.00 Men's Trousers some blue serges in this lot, now All $3.50 and $3.00 Men's Trousers Ail $3.50 and $3.00 Boys' Suits now Ail $4.50 and $4.00 Men's Trousers All $4.50 and $4.00 Boys' Suits now All $5.00 Men's Trousers All $5.00' Boys' Suits reduced to All $6.50 and $6.00 Men's Trousess All $6.50 and $6.00 B?y's Suits now All $7.50 and $7.00 Men's Trousers All $8.00 and $7.50 Boy's Suits now All $9.00 and $8.50 Men's Trousers All $9.00 and $8.50 Boys' Suits now All $10.00 Boys' Suits with extr i special showing in large sizes now All $12.50 and $10.00 Boys' Suits featuring some new plaids, now Shoes.$2.75 Shoes.3.25 Shoes.3.45 Shoes.3.75 Shoes.4.75 Shoes.iy.lS $1.75 $2.45 $2.95 $3*75 $4.45 $4.95 $5.95 $7.45 Other Interesting Reductions Men's Overcoats Boys' Overcoats Wool Shirts Sweaters Auto Gloves Fall and Winter Underwear The Store with a Conscience ANOERSON-UBERTY 111)10 TRUCK LINE PLANS HALTED UNTIL BOND ISSUE FOR COUNTY IS DISPOSED OF a V Ci ii FAVOR THE ISSUE Liberty Man Interested in Truck Line Says Farmers Are for Bond Sale Trust Company That residents of that section of tho county between thiB city nnd Liberty are enthusiastic over" .tho proposed bond issue of $750,000 for good roads and aro going to support it almost to tho man. is tho cheering news brought to the cltv by Mr. S.
