There's a question capable of puzzling most of use, don't you think? Of course, some of us can answer it in a single sentence or two. . More of us require large volumes to contain a full reply. -And when we get them written some one is sure to supply a fresh cause for divorce. Take the case of that of a New York man who is demanding the dissolution of the marriage tie because his wife put soap in his soup. He has added some what to the literature of divorce. And \ he has revealed a new form of cruelty. Soap as an article of diet is not to be highly, regarded. By most persons it Is considered not only offensive, but dangerous. And, what is more, the average man probably feels that he eats enough soap in the barber shop to satisfy his needs. Any added by his wife is likely to be regarded as,su perfluons and to arouse a peevishness that may -not easily be stilled.

Growing out of the last textbook adoption row, the Senate passed a measure restricting the powers of the State Board of Education with re I gard to adoption of school books for. the public schools of the state. v House. The hotted fight of the present ses sion was precipitated in the house on the passage of the Fortner bill prohib iting white people from teaching in negro schools or negroes from teach ing in white schools under penalty of a fine not exceeding $500 nr irrmris onment for not more than 12 months. The bill was passed to third reading after a battle royal, the opposition led Establish Nitrate Agencies. Office of the Nitrate Agencies Com pany, one of the largest companies in the world dealing in raw fertilizer ma terials, has been opened in the old state dispensary building. The distrib uting office at Columbia is in charge of Alexander Goulard, general repre I sentative of the company, who came | from New York. Columbia was selected by the com i pany as a distributing point because ! of the low rail and water rates. Mr. 1 Goulard will remain in South Carolina j for several weeks. I Reaches The 1.000 Mark. Governor Blease recently reached j the 1,000: mark in the granting of pa ! roles, pardons and commutations when I he commuted the sentence of 14 pris oners, eight from Spartanburg and six from Anderson, to the public works of those two counties from imprison ] ment in the state penitentiary. In the Anderson batch were five ne groes and one white man. The white man, P.emeleus Banks, was sent up for murder in 1907 and his sentence was commuted to 20 years. State Physician Makes Report. James A. Hayne, state health offi cer, is elated over the results that the cards which he recently sent to 1,300 physicians in the state have brought. These cards were sent inclosing in a letter, which reminded the physicians of the la\y which requires them to re port contagious diseases. Dr. Hayne said that reports had been coming into his office faster than he had ever seen them and he expressed a hope that the doctors would continue their work. Pneumonia seems to be preva lent. by the Charleston delegation. The measure was amended, without a dis senting vote, to make the same pen alty applicable to "the intimacy of the races in houses of ill repute." Another amendment was passed prohibiting white nurses from working in negro hospitals. A third amendment made the bill inapplicable to the teaching ol the Bible" to negroes by white people. By a vote of 59 to 38, the house re fused to strike out the enacting words of the Fortner bill. It is doubtful whether there was any such over whelming sentiment in favor of the passage of the bill in the house as this vote would Indicate. The measure had been recommended by the governor in his message, but beyond question more than 38 members of the house did not believe the measure expedient or necessary, and voted for it because tliov fonroH tho nrpnsntinn In thfi fu ture that, they were "nigger lovers." The administration and anti-adminis tration lines were not drawn in the vote to strike out the enacting words. The fight over the bill lasted for over two hours. The judiciary committee of the house submitted a majority unfavor able and a minority favorable report on the Welch bill allowing the Colum bia Railway, Gas and Electric Com pany, which owns the Columbia canal, to build a railroad, terminals and wharfage and maintain a steamboat line to tidewater, in lieu of carrying out its contract to complete the canal from the foot of Gervais street to the mouth of Rocky branch. The report of the committee came after a public hearing on the bill when, for parties unknown, H. K. Osborne, an attorney of Spartanburg, submitted to the general assembly, through the judiciary committee, a proposition to complete the canal within 15 months, pay the state $100, 000 in cash for it and pay nine-thirti eths of the bonds outstanding on the canal. The house took up as a special or der the Zeigler bill providing for rais ing revenue to protect birds, game and fish, by issuing licenses to those who hunt wild game with a gun and it passed it to third reading. The li cense for residents under the bill will be $1.10 annually and for non-resi dents $5.25 anually. The issuing of the licenses and the disbursing of the funds are placed in the hands of the chief game warden. The bill was pass ed to third reading. After another fruitless attempt on the^art of the Charleston delegation to have their county exempt from the terms of the Fortner bill, the meas ure passed third reading in the house and was sent to the senate, by. a vote of 62 to 40. The bill was passed to third reading by a vote of 59 to 38, after the warmest fight of the present "session in the house. After a brief debate the house kill- j ed the resolution introduced by Mr. Hardin of Cherokee requiring the at torney general to institute suit to de termine whether the merger of cotton mills and other corporations were not in violation of the federal and state 1 t*t Mr UorrHn annlra in fnvnr nf thp resolution and Mr. McMillan of Ma rion against it. The House passed finally the Haynsworth bill providing for indus trial schools. This places the bill on the Senate side. The measure pro vides for the establishment of indus trial schools in any county where there are more than 500 persons em ployed In cotton mills or factories. The schools are for textile instruc tion. The county in which any such school is to be established must pay over 15,000 to be used in the erection of suitable buildings and for the equipment of the school. Each school under the bill would be operated under the direction of a board of trustees of eight members. The trustees are to be selected from among the persons employed as su perintendents of cotton mills; from among those employed, and from those regularly engaged in school work in the respective counties. The board of trustees would employ teach ers as in other schools. For each school so established, where textile industry will be taught, the General Assembly would provide, as outlined in the bill, $5,000 of state funds for the maintenance of the state funds for the maintenance of the school annually. Unsung and to all appearances un mourned, the woman's suffrage bill died in the house. Not a single effort was made to save its life, and dead, no eulogy was said over it. House to Visit Charleston. For nearly half an hour before it receded recently, the house in a hila rious mood debated whether or not it should accept an invitation to visit Charleston before the session ends. Mr. Boyd of Spartanburg vigorously opposed the acceptance of the invita tion. He made his speech under diffi culty, having to contend with a rapid rire of questions, frequent applau.se and bursts of laughter. By a vote of 67 to 30, the house de cided to accept the invitation to go to Charleston. New South Carolina Enterprises.

FRAME FOUR BILLS 10 CURB "TRUSTS" MEASURE APPROVED BY WILSON HAS NO ESCAPE LOOP HOLES. TO BECOME LAWS VERY SOON Penalty for Restraint of Commerce, Unfair Business and Interlocking Directorates ? Ample Provisions Made for Trade Commission. Washington, Jan. 23.?The adminis tration's trust bills, embodying the program laid down by the president In his recnt message, have been present ed to congress. The bills have received the approval of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic leaders of both houses of congress. With little modification they will be nacted into law. Their purposes are: 1. Definition of unlawful monop oly or restraints of trade. 2. Prohibition of unfair trade practice. y 3. Creation of an interstate trade commission. 1. Regulation of corporation di dectorates and prohibition of in terlocking directorates. Unlawful Monopoly Defined. Unlawful monopoly is defined as any combination or agreement be tween corporations, firms, or persons designed for the following purposes: L To create or carry out re strictions in trade or to acquire a monopoly in any interstate trade, business, or commerce. 2. To limit or reduce the pro duction or Increase the price of merchandise or of any commodity. 3. To prevent competition in manufacturing, making, transport ing, selling, or purchasing of mer . modity. 4. To make any agreement, en ten into any arrangeifient, or ar rive at any understanding by which they, directly or indirectly, undertake to prevent a free and unrestricted competition among themselves or among any pur chasers or consumers in the sale, production, or transportation of any product, article, or commod ity. 1 The penalty for violation of the law it fixed at not more than $5,000 or im prisonment for one year or both. Guilt is made personal through a section that whenever a corporation shall be guilty of the violation of the law the offense shall be deemed to cover the individual directors, officers, and agents of such corporation, as authorizing, ordering, or doing the prohibited acts, and they shall be pun ished as prescribed above. A paragraph prohibiting holding companies is to be added to this meas ure. Covers Unfair Trade Practices. The bill forbidding unfair trade practices declares that to discriminate in price, between different purchasers of commodities, with the purpose or intent to injure or destroy a competi tor, either of the purchaser or of the seller,, shall be deemed an attempt to juuuupuii^t) in id d Lctto cumuicfcc. It is specifically declared that the law is not intended to prevent dis crimination in price between purchas ers of commodities "on account of difference in the grade, quality, or quantity of the commodity sold, or that makes only -due allowance for difference /in the cost of transporta tion." Further, it is prescribed that noth ing contained in the act shall prevent persons from selecting their own cus tomers, "but this provision shall not authorize the owner or operator of any mine engaged in selling its prod uct in interstate or foreign commerce to refuse arbitrarily to sell the same to a responsible person, firm, or cor poration, who applies to purchase." An attempt at monopoly also is de ciarea 10 exi3i ior any person 10 mane a sale of goodB, wares, or merchandise or fix a price charged therefor, or dis count from or rebate upon such price, on the condition or understanding that the purchaser thereof shall not deal In the goods, wares, or merchan dise of a competitor or competitors of the seller. Deals With Damage Suits. A Judgment against any defendant In a suit brought under the anti-trust law the bill provides shall constitute as against such defendant conclusive evidence of the same facts and be conclusive as to the same issues of law in favor of any other party In any other proceeding brought under and Involving the provisions of the law. For the benefit of parties injured in their business or property, by any per- ; son or corporation found guilty of vio lating the law the statute of limita tions applicable to such cases shall be suspended. Injunctive relief is accorded against threatened loss or damage by a viola tion of the act under the same condl- i tions and principles that injunctive re lief against threatened conduct which will cause loss or damage is granted by courts of equity. It is required that a proper bond snail be executed against damages ior an injunction improvidently granted, 1 and it must be shown that the danger of irreparable loss or damage is im- i mediate. i Hits Interlocking Directorates. Concerning directorates, the bill on i that subject, which is to become ef- < Their Difference. "Women don't understand men. They are always sympathizing with 1 you or praising you. They think that i is what men like, but it only means i that it is what they would like. Men like to be left alone."?A. C. Benson. 1 Reason He Jokes. When a man jokes about his wife being jealous you may depend upon it i hlB wife has not a jealous bone in her I body. Men with jealous wives do not i joke about It.?Atchison Globo. i I fective two years from date of ap proval of the act, provides: . "No person engaged as an Individ ual or as a member of a partnership or as a director or other officer of a corporation in the business of selling railroad cars or locomotives, or rail road rails or structural steel, or min ing or selling coal, or conducting a bank or trust company, shall act as a director or other officer or employe of any railroad or other public service corporation which conducts an inter state business. t "No person shall at the same time be a director or other officer or em ploye in two or more federal reserve banks, national banks, or banking as sociations, or other banks or trust companies which are members of any reserve bank; and a private banker tmu tx ytrrsuu wuu is a uirwiur iu any state bank or trust company not oper ating under the provisions of the re cent currency law shall not be eligible to serve as a director In any bank or banking association or trust company operating under the provisions of the law." Violation of these sections is made punishable by a fine of $100 a day, or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both. If any two or more corporations have common director or directors, the fact shall be conclusive evidence that there exists a real competition between such corporation" and such elimination of competition shall be construed as a restraint of interstate trade and be treated accordingly. The trade commission bill provides for commission of five members, with Hie wiiiiuiooiuiici ui tui yui auuuB ao chairman, and transfers all the exist ing powers of the bureau of corpora tions to the commission. The principal and most important duty the commission besides conduct ing investigations will be to aid the courts when requested in the forma tion of decrees of dissolution. With this in view, the bill empow ers he court to refer any part of pend ing litigation to the commission. In cluding the proposed decree, for infor mation and advice. | Much Criticism for Bills. The trust bills as framed will be the subject of sharp criticism on the part of progressives of all parties who claim they do not go far enough. It will be declared that the definition of monopoly remains Inadequate that the prohibition of unfair trade practice does not cover this evil in our econ omic life that interlocking stock con trol Is not covered and that the pow ers of the proposed trade commission are insufficient. It is Interesting to note that the proposal to place the burden of proof upon a combination believed to be vio lating the law haa been omitted. No attempt Is made to prevent or destroy monopoly based on patents. The great est difficulty exerienced In the effect ive enforcement of the law has been found to be In the unwillingness of the courts to Impose jail penalty. It remains optional under the proposed measures wiht the courts to fine or imprison. Trade Board May Disappoint. In connection with the trade com mission President Wilson declared in his message that the country "de mands such a commission only as an indispensable instrument of informa tion and publicity as a clearing house for the facts by which both the pub lic mind and the managers of great business undertakings should be guided;" x The bill pi-escribes that the commis sion acts are to constitute a "public record" but the body is authorized to make public the information "in such, form and to such extent as may be necessary" or "by direction of the attorney general." It is apparent that the public mind cannot be guided unless it has the facts, and then it will not get unless the commission or the attorney gen eral deems it politic. In other words, public hearings will not be held as they are held by the interstate commerce commmuiuii. Settlement of Differences. The most important feature of the bill-is that which legalizes the policy of the administration of terminating an unlawful condition by agreement between the combination attacked and the attorney general. This feature is comprehended under a section which requires the commis sion, upon the request of the attorney general or any corporation affected, IU 111 V t?3 LigO-LCJ W ilGUiCl o tumuiuavivu is violating the law. In case the com mission should find the violation to exist it must report to the attorney general a statement of the objection' able acts and transactions and the readjustments necessary for the of fending combination to conform to the law. These conclusions are to be "ad visory to the attorney general in ter minating by agreement with the cor poration affected or by suing the said unlawful conduct or condition." In other words, whatever may be the agreement made by the attorney general with the combination investi gated, it will give the reorganized combination legal standing, so long as It conforms to the term of the agree ment. Thus it is proposed to place by law a tremendous power in the hands of the attorney general. This power has been assumed to attorneys general, and particularly so by Mr. McRey? nolds; Will Give Courts Advice. In a statement accompanying the bill made by Congressman Clayton, chairman of the house Judiciary com mittee, it is said that the "principal and most Important duty of the com mission, besides conducting investiga tions, 'will be to aid the courts, when requested, in the formation of decrees af dissolution, 8hark Easily Scared.

TAKING PICTURES UF BIRDS English Photograper Tells Interesting 8tories of His Adventures in This Work. Prof. Frank Newman, a well known English photographer, tells many in teresting stories of his adventures in this work. He cites one case In particular in which he had lain in wait for a week with his imitation camera going full speed, grabbjfg a meal when he zould, only to have the bird take fright and leave her nest forever, thus wasting all his time. He has, however, been "8napplng" a Condor's Nest. able to catch near pictures of the-moor hen, probably the most timid of birds. Newman has also been very suc cessful In his pictures of large birds, such as the South American condor, the American eagle and the buzzard and vultures of the South. As may be surmised, a different sort of skill is required to get such pictures as As may be seen by the accompany lng illustration, the jeat requires dar ing and nerve. The photographer is lowered over the side of a mountain in a boatswain chair and with a cam era between his knees gets his pic tures. , G. Blake Garrison, a photographer of animals, was baldly hurt in his Initial attempt of this nature in South America. He was attacked by one of the birds while in this precarious posi tion and severely clawed before his partner was able to draw him up. In defending himself he lost l\ls machine, necessitating the retaking of the pic ture under more auspicious condi tions. The smaller quadrupeds, those semi domesticated animals which we meet In our every day life), such as the rab bit and squirrel, are not a simple quarry by any m^ans. Mr. Garrison in his experience has found the best way to get these animals- is with a papier mache cow, or other large ani mal^ which, like the horse of Troy, will conceal men. This, together with the mechanism for imitating the camera's noise, will usually serve to deceive even a wily for. The cow Is life size and has a number of small holes in the sides which serve to allow the camera to center on the sub jept, and also are used for peep holes. FIND AARON BURR'S OLD HOME ? : - Richmond' Hill House, Uncovered by Wrecker*, in New York, Once Used as a Theater. New York.?Remnants of Aaron Burr's famous Richmond Hill house are being uncovered by wreckers, who are tearing down some ancient build ings on the east side of Varlck street In order to widen that thoroughfare. ThA nid Burr nle.ce. in its latter years, was used as a theater and at one time rose to the dignity of an opera house. Years ago it passed to use as a stable. It is this structure that is now being torn down. Fresco work, which is said to have formed a part of the old theater decorations, is revealed. An old resident, of the vicinity ex hibits a play bill of the old theater when it was known as Miss Nelson's theater, in 1836. Miss Annette Hawley Nelson was a popular actresB-manager there for many years. In contrast to present prices and opening hours the bill shows that performances began then as early as 7 o'clock, while prices for the best box seats were only 50 cents. BLACK OBELISK IS iJNVEILED.
