I0RR0R AND COST OF WAR
|udge Elbert H. Gary Tells of Con
ditions as He Saw Them in the
Wake of Armies.
On Sunday, August 30, In company
I'ith another, I rod? by motor car
[bout two hundred miles in a semi
lircle on the north and east of Paris,
loing within ten or fifteen miles of
le line of battle, but taking good
lare, of course, to keep beyond the
limits of danger. I was forcibly im
pressed first with the horrors of war
id secondly with its enormous cost,
saw everything pertaining to war
[xcept actual fighting; large numbers
If re-enforcements going to the front
Lnd many wounded returning to hos
iltals^ troops of all kinds, and arma
ne^t, ammunition, supplies, facilities
if every kind for offense and defense;
ingineer corps, aeroplane corps, etc.
Thousands of refugees were fleeing
rom their hones to places of sup
>osed safety.
. The next day much of the territory
raversed was occupied by the forces
ingaged in deadly conflict. The in
truments of destruction, the methods
>f using them and the facilities for
noving armies have greatly changed,
ind therefore as the destruction of
ife will be so large and rapid it
mild seem as though the war must
lecessarily be sooner ended than in
'ormer times and under different con
litions. I saw temporary hospitals in
>rivate houses, under the control of
ted Cross societies, on every hand,
tnd many ambulances in use.?

27 Chapters Represented.
(
Rock Hill.?With an open session ,
at which the exercises were beauti
fully typical of the real work of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion, the South Carolina conference
of the order adjourned, after a session
marked by a long step in the direc
tion of its patriotic educational pur- ,
pose. That step was the final ar
rangement of plans for tho mountain
school, to be conducted by the order.
The details were left in charge of a
committee, which will report on fur
ther arrangements. Landrum has of
fered a site for the school and George
town has also offered a site and a
building.
The final business meeting, preced
ing the open session, which brought

election for these places resulted as
follows: Second vice regent, Mrs.
W. B. Ardrey of Fort Mill; auditor,
Mrs. J. B. Johnson, Rock Hill; assist
ant historian, Mrs. E. C. von Tresck
ow, Camden.

Twenty-seven of the 36 chapters of
the Daughters of the American Revo
lution in the state were represented
when the session began. The session
was filled with business and was fol
lowed by the final business session,
preceding which the club women of
the city served an elegant luncheon
to the visiting women in the high
school building, where the sessions
of the conference have been held.
Two important items of business
received consideration at the session.
The '*wear cotton" movement was
indorsed and it was decided to estab
lish an industrial school for moun
tain girls.
The mountain school was discussed
at unirfh ?nd the details of financing
it were entered into and local chap
ters pledged to aid in carrying for
ward the work. The work of estab
lishing the school, according to the
action taken, was placed in charge of
the state executive committee, the
state officers, three members at large
and the patriotic and educational com
mittee of the state organization.
These will compose a committee to
plan the establishment of the school
and direct the work.
Girls Sell Tomatoes.
Marion.?The tomato club girls of
this county are offering for sale their
products. This is the first year that
the work has been conducted in Mar
ion county, and notwithstanding that
it was started late a creditable show
ing was made at the state fair and
some of the girls have realized neat
little sums of money from their ef
forts. Arrangements are made to add
he poultry work for next year.
| Oregon Hotel Opens.
Greenwood.?The Oregon hotel op
ened with an informal reception ten
dered the citizens of Greenwood by
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Brinson. Over
1,000 p'ersons availed themselves of
the opportunity to visit the handsome
n?w hotel. Some 50 guests were reg
istered for the first night. Breakfast
was the first meal served in the new
hotel. Everybody who called seemed
charmed with the arrangement and
furnishings of the hotel. Light re
froohmonfc were served during the
evening and music by an orchestra.
Ask State Banks to Bid.
Columbia.?The governor refused
to attend a meeting of the state's fin
ancial board, when the question of
borrowing $150,000 for the current ex
jenses of the state government was
considered. S. T. Carter, state treas
urer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller
general, attended the meeting.
The board decided to ask the banks
of the state for bids on the loan. The
bids will be opened at a meeting of
the board to be held November CO.
Comptroller General Jones said tha'
he woul dhold up any warrents now
Contract Let For Sanatarium.
Columbia.?The contract for the
construction of an administration
building and a lean-to for tuberculosis
patients at State Park was awarded
to R. A. Graveley of Florence at $8,232
which does not include plumbing. The
buildings, which will probably be
ready for occupancy by the end of
February, will be of frame construc
tion. They will be located on the
Boyleston tract, which is on the east
side of the Southern railway tracgs
and about a mile from State Park sta
tion. Eleven contractors had in bidk

QUESTIONS FOR CONFERENCE
Dr. Kllgo Talks of Some of the Meth
odist Problems to Be Taken Up
At Sumter.
Columbia.?The annual meeting of
the Somth Carolina conference, Meth
odist Episcopal church, South, will
convene in Sumter, November 25, with
Bishop Collins Denny of Tennesse
presiding. It Is expected that Bishop
Wilson will be present during the
conference to represent the cause of
church extension work. All the Meth
odist churches throughout the state
are now actively engaged in closing
up the work of the year.
Each district will elect four lay
men as members of the conference.
The Columbia district has chosen J. L.
Quinby of Graniteville, I. N. Eubanks
of Aiken, D. H. Ellis of Columbia and
J. L. Smith of Johnston as its repre
sentatives. J, Fuller Lyon, C. D. Stan
ley, F. H. Hyatt and W. J. Murray,
all of Columbia, will attend the meet
i n nrr, twVllr?V? fllOV flfA
LUgO \Jk kJXJCLX UO U1 T> w vj v
members during the conference. Sum
ter will entertain fully 400 Method
ist ministers and laymen while the
conference is in session.
The Rev. J. W. Kilgo, D. D., presid
ing elder of Columbia district, outlin
ed some of the work before the confer
ence as follows
"Several questions are before this
session that will make it of intense
interest to the church throughout
the state. Of course that of prime
importance to the individual church
is the appointment of its pastor.
Many will receive new pastors, many
more expect no change of pastors.
That which provokes more anxious
thought than any other questions that*
will come before the conference con
cerns the division of the body. Though
a majority of those voting ror di
vision was given a year ago, yet the
affirmation was not a majority of the
conference. It is generally under
stood that the laymen as a rule are
opposed to dividing. These facts ren
der it very doubtful that the confer
ence will be divided. Yet the ques
tion must be decided in Sumter.
"Another matter of concern regards
the church organ, The Southern
Christian Advocate. The Rev. S. A.
Netles, who has edited and publish
ed the paper for nine years, has re
signed both as editor and as pub
lisher. Those who opposed the pres
ent plan of bringing out the paper
necessitating a change will no doubt
have a better plan to suggest. Any
way the church will expect them to
do. so. To repeat, it is a matter of
great importance to the church."
Many Baptists in This State.
Charleston.?The Baptist state con
vention, which will meet in annual
session in the Citadel Square Baptist
church in this city on December 8,
represents the largest religious de
nominations in South Carolina. The
figures show that there are 141,363

tion. There are 527 pastors, besides
more than 100 missionaries, the latter
of whom are employed by tho state
mission board. The Baptists con
tribute $45,000 annually for state mis
sions.
All Amendments Carried.
Columbia.?After canvassing the
returns on the general eelction, the
state board of canvassers announced
that all of the 11 proposed constitu
tional amendments had carried.

GETTING OVER.YOUR SENSITIVE
NESS.
I know a bright, well-trained young
lady, whose Intimate friends, and even
her near relative^, have to be continu
ally on the watch for fear of wound
ing her. She broods over a joking re
mark until she magnifies it into an in
sult. She makes herself miserable for
days over a fancied slight and ex
hausts the patience of her friends by
asking them to explain what they
meant by certain expressions, looks or
gestures. People who are at first at
tracted by her many amiable quali
ties soon fall away from her because
of the exactions imposed by her over
sensitiveness.
Over-sensitiveness is really an ex
aggerated form of self-consciousness.
It is far removed from conceit or self-,
esteem, yet it. causes one's own per
sonality to overshadow everything
else. A sensitive person feels that,
whatever she does, wherever slle goes
or whatever she says, she is the center
of conversation. She imagines that
people are criticizing her movements,
making fun at her expense or analyz
ing her character, when they are
probably not thinking of her at all.
She does not realize that other people
are too busy and too much Interested
In themselves and in other things to
devote to her any of their time beyond
what is absolutely necessary. When
she thinks they are making remarks
about her, putting slights upon her,
or trying to hold her up to the ridi
cule of others, they may not even be
conscious of her presence.
Thousands of young women are
held back from undertaking what
they long to do, and are kept from
trying to make real their life-dreams,
because thev are afraid to loetle with
the world. They shrink from ex
posing their sore and sensitive spots,
which smart from the slightest touch.
Their supersensitivenesB makes cow
ards of them.
The great majority of people, no
matter how rough in manner or bear
ing, are kind-hearted, and would
much rather help than hinder fellow
beings; besides, they have all they
can do to attend to their own affairs,
and have no time to spend in min
utely analyzing the nature and feel
ings of those whom they meet in
the course of their daily business. In
the busy world of affairs it is give
and take, touch and go, and those
who expect to get on must rid them
raW An /\# nil vm oanofHtran ACfl
DC!? CD VI an ui^l Uiu OCUOIUTCUUDD.
If they do not, they* doom themselves
to unhapplneBs and failure.
A college course is of inestimable
value to a girl of over-refined sensi
bilities. Oftentimes when girls enter
college, they are so touchy that their
sense of honor is constantly being
hurt and their pride stung by the
unconscious thrusts of classmates
and companions. But after they have
been in college a term, and have
been rubbing up against other girls,
they realize that it would be the
most foolish thing in the world to
betray resentment. I! one showB that
she is hurt, she knows she will be un
popular and will often be laughed
at. She is simply forced to drop the
foolish weakness. Girls who are mor
bidly sensitive on entering college,
often come out at the end of their
four years' course with their exces
sive irritability cured by repeated
doses of common sense.
There are many, however, who must
go through life without going through
college; and if these are troubled with
sensitiveness, they must be their own
healers. They must learn that real
nobility and courage and effectiveness
as a world-worker, as well as per
sonal happiness and success, are im
possible to one who is crippled by a
supersensitive nature.
"What shall I do to get rid of it?"
a girl a6ks. Think 'less of yourself
and more of others. Mingle freely
with the people. Become interested
in things outside of yourself. Do not
brood over what is said to you or
analyze every Bimple remark until you
magnify it into something of the
greatest importance. Do not have
Euch a low and unjust estimate of
people as to think they are bent on
nothing but hurting the feelings of
others, and deprecating and making
light of them on every possible occa
sion. A girl who appreciates herself
at her true value, and who gives her
neighbors credit for being at least as
good as Bhe is, will not be the victim
of oversensitiveness.
HOW TO GET THE BOY'S CONFI
DENCE.
Not long ago a boy was arrested
in New York and tried in the chil
dren's court. The first thing he said
to the officer was: "Don't tell Mr.
Watkins." Mr. Watklns is a man
who had taken a special interest in
this boy from the slums and was try
ing to help him. He would often call
? ?> ,
at tne Doy b uuuue auu mm
out for a good time, or take him
with him to his home. While in
court the fear that Mr. Watkina
would find him out seemed to trouble
the boy moBt. He did not seem to
care much that his parents knew of
his arrest, because he had been scold
ed and nagged Dy tnem until ne uau
become calloused. He knew that Mr.
Uses Sand to Clean Bottles.
A Swiss inventor makes use of
sand and water to clean bottles in
which there has been a deposit and
which defy the ordinary brush to
reach. Such bottleB are often dis
carded because of the impossibility
of removing this matter. The new in
vention is supplied with the shape
of a rather large metal basin with a
middle upright tube. Sand is put in
the basin and a hose connects with
the water supply. A simple arrange
ment allows of projecting sand and
Watklns believed In him, saw some
thing in him which even his parents
did not see, and he could not bear
the thought that t?e man who had
trusted him and believed in him
should think that he had gone wrong.
When you have obtained a boy's
confidence and affection, when he feels
that you have a real interest in him,
and that you believe that there is
something in him, you have a tremen
dous hold upon him.
The head of a Chicago business
house has a large number of boye
under him. For years he has felt a
kindly interest in these boys, taking
particular painB to notice them, tc
watch their work, to praise them
when thdv Hn well tn correct them
gently when they fail, and to mani
j fest In general a kindly interest in
their affairs. He says the results
have been marvelous and that the
boys have shown wonderful develop
ment under the influence of his ap
preciation and praise.
This man told me that he corrects
the habits of his boys without theii
realizing the influence he brings tc
bear on them. He enters their sports
plays ball with them, and by his ex
ample makes them feel ashamed o)
doing things that are unbecoming tc
gentlemen.
Children are especially susceptible
to praise. A boy will work harder tc
get the appreciation of those whc
trust him and believe in him than foi
almost anything else. Nothing ex
cept blame will so dampen his en
thusiasm as the lack of recognition
of good work or failure to appreciate
his attempts to please.
I know a mother who reared hei
children upon the plan of praise. She
never missed an opportunity to com
mend them for doing well, or to show
appreciation of their efforts to dc
right. This, Bhe says, has had in
finitely more influence for good than
perpetual scoldings. "Don'ts" harm
discourage and dwarf more children
than almost anything else.
Many a child has been nagged
bullied, scolded, for every little fault
or mistaxe, unui it ueuamw uiowm
aged, when a little timely praise and
commendation would have worked
wonders in getting the best out of it
Highly organized, sensitive children
have often been Beriously injured, 01
their characters even ruined, by th?
harsh methods of those who do nol
understand the child nature and whc
scold and nag and bully them intc
obedience. Such children become buI
len, obstinate and irresponsible.
The greatest thing in the rearing
and education of a child 1b to de
velop ljis natural, normal self-ex
pression. The youthful mind long*
for activity; the pent-up forces with
in are struggling to express them
selves; but if spontaneity is repeat
edly crushed out, if the child's expres
slon is constantly repressed wltl
"don't do this" and "don't do that,'
the ambition may be ruined, the pow
er of self-expressioq lost, so that the
best in the child may never be devel
oped.
When a child does not show en
thuslasm in study, in work, there i<
something wrong, for enthusiasm ant
bubbling buoyancy are as natural t(
child life as song to the bobolink.
Spontaneity is absolutely neces
cary to originality?yet the buoyancy
the enthusiasm, of many a youth L
absolutely crushed before majority ii
reached, because of constant reprea
sion.
The chief duty of the father Is n(fl
only to feed and clothe his son ant
get all possible work out of him un
til he is twenty-one, but he is bounc
to watch with tender care the menta
unfoldlngs, the aspirations, the ben
planted by the Creator himself in th<
breast of the child. It is a great mis
fortune that so many parents feel ai
ownership in a child. They look upoi
him as a sort of chattel Instead of i
sacred gift, which they have receive<
in trust, for which they asBumd re
Bponslbility, and enter into an lmpliec
agreement to care for mind as well ai
body; to guard, guide and rear witt
the tenderest care and greatest solid
tude.
It is a father's duty not to try t<
bend the human sprout to suit hit
notions, but to watch the tendency o
the child; to encourage, not stifle, hit
natural bent \
Every father should regard th<
child as a sacred trust, bringing witt
him into the world a sealed message
which he is bound to deliver like i
? ? -?J - Vowi TV.ln oonlpH mpasact
within him is sacred; it is not evet
for the father to read. But it is th(
parent's duty to prepare his child tc
deliver the message he brings, to J>eli
him to live up to his ideals.
Perversity of Human Nature.
The perversity of human nature wil
assert itself even with the best reg
ulated disposition. When we shoulc
work, we want to rest, and when w?
are enforced to rest, then work i:
craved. In the midst of pleasure dayt
or vacation days, the exhilaration oi
busy days seems more alluring. Ir
sweltering summer the cool winds ol
winter are recalled as a welcome mem
ory, and in the biting frost of wintei
the sweltering days of "the good olc
summer time" mellow into a pleasanl
recollection. The days of leisure, lonj
anticipated as a haven of hope when
it was planned to do so much of thf
neglected work and reading, slip awaj
under the spell of doing nothing?anc
again we realize the age-old truth thai
the lash of necessity and pressure ol
the duties of the present accounts foi
many things accompJJshed that woulc
not have been achieved if one fell un
der that inherent impulse to loaf thai
inspired Omar Khayyam, and the fas
cinating spell of lethargy captures its
willing victim.?"Publishers' Depart

Gen. Arthur Murray said at a din

height of soldiers:
"The British army has raised the
height limit for volunteers to five feet
five. Short Britishers object to this

"For consider the Japanese. They

Some time ago a little girl not more
j than six years old, rambled into a
grocery store and asked for five cents
worth of animal crackers. The clerk
was about to put the purchase in a
paper bag, when the youngster sud
l denly interposed.
t "Just a minute, Mr. Smith," said
she. "Are there any elephants among
5 those crackers?"
"Oh, yes," was the Indulgent (re
joinder of Mr. Smith, "I put In a whole
. lot of elephants."
, "Then you must take them out
j again, please," decidedly returned the
, -small customer. "My little brother is
dreadfully afraid of elephants."
Superior Knowledge.
Little Walter and Gerald had
ceased to wonder at the arrival of an
other baby brother after a few weeks
had elapsed since that eventful oc
casion. Their attention was now di
rected to an importation of baby kit
tens.
"Where do you s'pose those kittens
came from?" queried four-year-old
Gerald. "Did the stork bring them
just like baby brother?"
Seven-year-old replied with ponder
ous precision:
"Of course, not, silly. Storks couldn't
bring kittens. God made them. God
said, 'Let there be kittens and there
was kittens.'"?Harper's Magazine.

Drove Back British Raiders.
i
One hundred years ago one of the
marauding parties of British that con-,
tinued making depredations along the
shores of Chesapeake bay after the
departure of the British fleet for the
South, landed at Deep creek, 15 miles
below ^nnapolis, with a view to hav
ing "a frolic with the Yankees," as
one of their officers expressed it. But
the "Yankees" were on the watch and
gave the invaders a warmer reception
than they had bargained for. Small
detachments of cavalry and infantry
attacked the enemy as soon as they
had stepped ashore and drove them
back to their boats with considerable
loss. No American was killed in the
engagement, though Captain Burd of
the cavalry was seriously wounded
and narrowly escaped being made a
prisoner.

The Surprise Ending.
Two young men, ''Mr. Smith" and
"Mr. Jones," were talking at a danc
ing party when a pretty young woman
passed and spoke to "Smith."
"Gee," said "Jones," "who's that? I'd
like to meet her."
"You can," said Smith; "she's a
relative of mine." The Introduction
followed. "Jones" was enthusiastic
and captured a couple of dances.'Then,
feeling better acquainted, he urged
her to permit him to accompany her
home.
"But, you see, I must go with my
husband," she said.
"Your husband!" ejaculated "Jones."
"Who's her
"Why, he introduced us; didn't you
know?" she asked innocently. Exit
"Jones."
