We are glad to publish the newsy letter of our Kershaw county correspondent. We welcome all such correspondence from within or without the county. The appointment of former Governor D C.

The war department has again designated the Citadel in the "Dls, tinguished" list of the military schools or the nation, ah souin Carolinians take pride in our "West Point of the South." If the farmers of Lancaster county predate demonstration lectures agriculture by experts, let them ,ow it by turning out in full force ;t the institutes to be held at Pleasant Valley, Dixie and Heath Springs. The Greenville Piedmont says it ws a bald-headed man named y. That's nothing. We know ore of such men in Lancaster, for fear of giving offense will not ntion their names. Some men undertake tasks too lg for them; scorning the humble irk for which they are fitted, they itempt something which looks big and thus fail, where otherwise they might have succeeded.

We trust the senate will not confirm the appointment of the Okla- ! homa negro by President Wilson to be register of the treasury. It is true that the custom has been to appoint a negro to the position, but we think it one that would be more honored in the breech than the observance.

PlfcfrMPT^ ADM IX 1ST RATION OF ?J JUSTICE. We agree'with The Newberry Observer that to stop violations of law, what is needed more than anything else "is prompt administration of justice, and sure punishment for violation of law." This is something we do not have in South Carolina. Ti The laws are all right, but they are nl not administered as they should be. J'' - ?... . r51 judges orten allow cases to oe put oft for trial ou insufficient grounds, ma We have known them to be postponed ou some flimsy showiug that certain material witnesses were absent, and these grounds failing, at- p< torneys often get up and state to the J|{ court that tliey are physically unable 5 to go ou with the case oud the trial a( judge usually continues the case. The defendant is in the meantime out on bond industriously influencing ?' public sentiment in his favor. So usually the case in brought to trial m whenever it suits the convenience or ? health of defendant's counsel. If , fc violators of the law knew that they jtl would be glveu a speedy trial aud tc perhaps remain in Jail uutil they j tc were brought to trial, there would ^ not be so many crlmiual cases on the r court docket for trial. n< pi WHAT TO EAT AND DRINK. fa Surgeon General Rimert Blue of Hi the public service offers the follow- tl ing suggestions as to what to eat and fr drink during the summer. Says he: j* "Medical men are a unit in advis- pi ing that one eat plenty of fruits, tl green vegetables and as little meat ai as possible during the days when | the sun sizzles. ai "Eat' sparingly of starchy goods. o< like potatoes, but oat plenty of such pi vegetables as agree with you. The i>< individual may find that certain veg- r etables are not easily digested. Car- a? rots and turnips, it has been said, pi are excellent food for sheep. They are not excellent food for all hu- n< mans. "The advice given by physicians )>( on drinks in summer has not chang- hi od nor will be. Leave alcohol alone, d If you will drink alcoholic drinks, su take them with the greatest possible th moderation Most of the soft drinks pi on sale at the soda fountains are Yi pood. But buttermilk is a grand <sr summer drink, and sweet milk if pr pure is excellent. | "White clothes are the coolest as every one knows, and that light suits ^ are being worn more and more in hot weather is a good thing for the p, public health as well as for the laundryman and the dry cleaner. Rlue underwear is really seriously recommended by scientists who study CI the composition of light waves." fo su A CHECK TO TYPHOID. re ch Typhoid fever, that scourge which W! has so long afflicted mankind and vii which is liable to break out in al- ^ most any community which is not tl1 kept in a sanitary condition, is now being treated successfully by the in- an aculation of a serum which neutra- m lizes the effect of the typhoid germ ^ tnd immunizes the person inoculated t)P from fever for a period of three Hi rears. As a preventative against a" fever one injection of the serum is ^ not enough as in the case of small p, l>ox and diphtheria, but three injee- pa Lion ten days apart. The efficiency ?f if the treatment is now well estab- pr lished and it is altogether likely jp that in a short time the treatment m will be general as it is now in the ta L'nted States army. THK Ml UTAHY EMIllWXiMO. In reference to the recent contro- SiS versy now on between Governor Blease and Adjutant General Moore 0f about the mustering out of certain tii companies of the national guard. of The Yorkvill Enquirer, in discussing ^ the matter, says, "We do not feel m inclined to take any side in this M controversy because we have a feeling that neither of these fn officials are entirely right or entirely wrong." And further it is our opinion that if Governor Blease and General Moore would do the best thing for the military service they ^ will get together and insist that J,) hereafter the whole business shall N he conducted on a strictly military basis, according to law or not at j? all." tf If The Enquirer had kept up with w the controversy it should have c' known that the whole trouble has 01 been caused by Governor Blease's p lax ideas of discipline and Insisting it on certain companies being retained ? in the service which General Moore w w had recommended to the war de- g pnrtment to be mustered out because d of inefficiency. So according to the c Yorkville paper's own argument Governor lilease is at fault.
