He is also licensed by the laws of South Carolina through examination before the State Board, to do business in this State. SAILORS' RESPONSIBILITY While the laws of nations are full and complete, as a habberdasher would say, there are yet some inter national laws to be enacted looking toward the preservation of life on high seas. It seems inhuman that a ship could see another in distress and refuse to go to its assistance. And yet if we are to believe the reports this has been done more than once. Any man or set of men who have no more regard for human life should be required by law to take cognisance of and render assistance to any boat in distress, which they might meet on the seas, and upon refusal or neglect to render such assistance, should be found guilty of a crime. Human life is too precious a thing to allow it to be lost when there is any possibility of preserving it. For one ship to pass another in distress knowingly without attempting to ren der assistance is simply beyond the pales of civilization, it is unbelieve able. Let the nations see to it that an in ternational treaty is provided by tne terras of which any vessel passing an other in distress and withholding aid shall be found guilty and punished therefor. ''"ss must be a hard hearted set to care so little for life. We are inclined to think that it is not so much on account of the attitude of the sailors themselves, however, as it is on account of the greed of the own ers, who require quick trips, little ex pense, and no delay and big profits. Hereafter let it be known to the shipping fraternity that they are their brothers' keeper on the high seas and that the laws of the nations are going to require their blood at their hands and many a life will be saved that otherwise would probably be lost.

Sanwiched between Blease and Jones literature in the Piedmont, we find a very edifying paragraph on dig ging bait, something new and unique in that line discovered by Col. Bill Sherrette. It is a great labor saving device in bait digging and is as fol lows: "You take a broom handle three and a half feet long" says Sterrett, "drive it into the spot likely to be inhabited by angle worms.Leave an end sticking up about six inches. 1 KaomI on*i nih It iutJU. m&c a luugu uuuiu uuu ?ww ? over the top of the broom handle. This causes a vibration of the earth and the worms, angry and disturbed, will work their way out of the ground. A fellow can get a pail full of worms in a short time." "gut, Colonel," asked a reporter, "doesn't it take work to rub the board on top of the stick?" "Get a negro to rub the board!" exclaimed the Colonel. It is very clear that Booker wants to get down to Reedy and flsh for mud cat and homey heads. You can't do it, Harold, you've got to stick Blease and Jones and Wilson and Harmon and scissors and glue. Its the price we pay for being worth while. No can of bait and fly hook for us with "areless hours of sunshine and rest. Only the happy folks can enloy such beatitude. But we will remember how to dig bait hereafter any way. MUST INSPECT LIFEBOATS. Otherwise Firemen and Seamen Will Re fuse to Sail. Liverpool, April 27.?The Liverpsol brach of the Seamen's and Firemen's union adopted a resolution today that on ann after April 29 the men will refuse to sail on any steamer unless representatives of the union are allowed to inspect the lifeb.ats.
