According to u speaker who ad- '
dressed the National Council of J;
Teachers in English in Chicugo recently,
grammar is an almost usless b
sludy. and the time given to It in n
public schools is almost wholly ci
wasted. d
"Grammar not only does not teach T
correct speech, but often is a hln- al
drance to it. When a man is think- P
ing of syntax and trying to talk at ?
the same time, he's doing too much. ?
There is a collision that is fatal to

This is the season for the inventory.
Every well regulated business,
at least once in the year, takes
stock, sums up the liabbilities, writes
off worthless accounts, and strikes
a balance which shows, sometimes, a
profit, and sometimes, a loss.
And there is nothing which is so
good a abalance-wheel in a business
as this self-examination. All the
governmental supervision, and all
the control of directors, sought to be
injected into business in these later
times are nothing as compared with
the honest, intelligent examination
of affairs by the managing head, because
to him we musi look for the
correction of errors of administration
and management in the future.
And a man should make an inventory
of his own busiaess. A
lair valuation placed upo i his own
property, and a list of hiA outstanding
obligations, carefully studied and
f
intelligently analyzed, w. it? *JArhircs

there In useless expe* murcs ail,l
wasteful habits, that ww ^ 111 the

more than ailing we should
y ttake an account of bur own lives.
As we approach the mile rock on
life's journey, it will help us to make
an Inventory of ourselves in a:i
honest effort to determine whether
our lives balance in favor of good
or evil. Charging against ourselves
as liabilities the evils done in the
body, there are few of us who can
show assets of good deeds suflieient
to make the books balance. And
there are so many liabilities in the
way of evil deeds which we might
erase from the books of account.
There is so much of selfishness, so
much of thoughtlessness, so much
of envy and hatred, so much of petty
jealousy, so much of evil thinking
and evil talking, to say nothing of
our graver wrong-doing, that might
be written off the books.
And then, too, look at the good
things we think we do. Are they
in reality done for others, or for
ourselves? Is the person who os
tensibly dispenses charity, really
charitable, or it vanity and selfseeking?
De we really love others
that wo do good to them, or are
we rather seekers after the plaudits
of tile unthinking, in an effort to
bolster our own popularity? De we
seek to help others, or are we mere
slaves to the footlights?
The man who lias not gone off to
hjmself, and really thought, and
searchingly investigated himself, his
own life, his own thoughts, his own
acts, his own motives?who has not
taken a full inventory of himself, ie
not yet a man?not according to
that final taking-of-stock which all
of us look forward to in some form
in that summing up which is to follow.
And while we would wish for our
readers a prosperous new year, we
wjbii tne more tliat they take an account
with themselves of the deeds
done in the past; that they make a
searching examination of themselves
and look forward to the future with
a determination to get rid of the
hard stock and worthless accounts
of life.?Abbeville Press and Ilann

w Restoration of Palentine.
Palestine is essentially an agricultural
country, as it has absolutely no
other resources, and in past times supported
a large population. But it
should be understood that to restore it
to its former prosperity would require
considerable capital and a radical reform
of government. Though the
^ Israelites came out of the very productive
land of Egypt, their destination
was described as a land flowing with
milk and honey. This statement is
most Interesting in the light of facta
concerning the nwrfuMinn
-vra 1IVUO/
here. It ts well Known to botanist*
that Palestine Is the meting place of
flora of three different continents, and
this circumstance combined with the
varied altitudes produces a condition
most favorable to bee culture. -Scientffle

It's a matter of common observa- S
tion that the pupil who parses and o
diagrams with the greatest facility lj
in the school room is as likely as not si
the one that uses the poorest English tl
on tlie playground. It doesn't seem o
to occur to him that the grammati- li
cal rules have any application to F
I hlfe ordinary speech. Or if it does, ei
I he refuses to make tlie effort to
I speak correctly. .,
! People use language in the way n
that's naturul to them. The child s]
whose parents speak good English a
speaks good English himself. The j \
child who is accustomed to bad En- ta
glisli at .home and among itis play- n
I mates may arrive irt a fairly cor- r;
I ret t manner of speech in the course it
of years, through a gradual drop- p
ping of his errors. But that reform p
is cbietly a matter of unconscious or >
I luilt -conscit^s imitation. It is our j t<
| eumenti^that forms our speech. ; r
Only the very exceptional child, who o
is a precocious prig, instead of an or- a
dinary human, reforms his speech it
by rules taken out of a book. t<
The personal example of teachers f'
has far more to do with shaping the n
speech of their pupils than the bock h
of grammar they teach. And the fl
grammar rebel who shocked the a
English teachers at Chicago was h
probably right in saying that read- 1
ing aloud does infinitely more good
than formal instruction in grammar. I

Little has yet appeared iu print, 1
ut a great deal of discussion is 1
evertheless going on as to politiil
eventualities in South Carolina 1
uring the new year soon to be born. '
he Summer of 1916 will see us '
gain in the throes of a state-wide
olitical upheaval for the selection !
f State, County and Congressional <
Ulcers. (
Very naturally the interest centres 1
lost generally in the choice of the '
tate oitlclals, yet there is no dreth 1
f interest in the prospect for a live- 1
r mix-up in several of the Poneroa
lonal Districs, including, perhaps,
lie Sixth, while the local County
imipaign is most likely to be tlie
vest proposition of its kind thai
lorence County lias ever expqr'c-n- '
a.
From nowhere in particular bbut
ervading the air nevertheless witht
persistance that suggests some inpired
origin there conies ever and
noil the intimation that Governor
tanning will not be permitted to
ike his seat for the proverbial second
iip term without a struggle. Former
overnor Hlease has openly avowed
is purpose of contesting with 111
resent inenmbebnt the coveted
lace, while persistent rumor credits
lr. Cooper with the intention of
pssiiig his hat in the ring. Mr.
'.lease's declaration lacks somewhat ,
f the tire of enthusiasm that usuallv
ccompanies his promulgations and
: is possible that his essay is more
o keep him in the public eye than
o press his claims for Mr. Mailing's
seat. It is just as likely that
e may step aside, throwing his inuence
to some other candidate?
nyone save Manning?and groom
imself for the contest for Senator
illmaan's togo four years hence.
But Blease is an astute politician,
le finds himself confronted with
he two horns of a very serious diBiuna,
and his realization of his amiltion
to sit in the halls of the
nighty in Washington will depend
cry strongly upon his ability to seed
the one that leads on to vict rv
atlier than that which beckons but
o defeat. If he himself stays in the
ace for Governor lie stakes all on
he result at the August polls. Deeat
then would mean defeat in the
senatorial race four years hence. It
natters not whether Blease should go
lowu before either Manning or some
itlier candidate?say Cooper. Doubtess
he would be in the second race
vtth one or the other, but that ho
ould win on the second primary
igainst either is extremely problenatical.
At the same time to peruit
Manning to go back to Colurr
>ia would he to invite a very formidible
contest for Mr. Hlease in the
L918 race for the senate. It, thereore,
seems on the boards that

Hiere can be little doubt that Manling
would have the advantage over
hooper for the force of tradition
onibined with the force of already
'omplete organization would be difIcult
to overcome. It must be remembered
that Cooper and Manling's
platform must be the same.
Hie question will be one strictly of
nen and not of issues. In this
hallenge Cooper has no advantage.
Manning has played the part am':

las made have been mistakes of
udg*nent and not of purpose. Cooper
vould, therefore, have to convince
he people that he was the better man

Italian Lemon Gardens.
The Italian lemon gardens vary in
area, being commonly extremely small
in comparison with California's groves.
About Palermo, however, there are
gardens having as many as 2,000
acres. Fertilizers are used, but thero
is little or no system. Nor is there
agreement as to the proper intervals
between trees. Irrigation is employed.
In the Sorrentine region, where the
water supply is short, a tree averages
not over 400 lemons, but well-bandied
Sicilian groves may produce 1,200 or
more per tree. The most northern
gardens produce less than those of
Sorrento.
