The first bill to excite debate in the upper house was Senator Verner's message to allow moving pictures In public schools, 4rhlch came up on second reading. Many of the senators favored the intent of the bill and desired to pass it to third reading with notice of general amendments, pertaining especially to the censorship of the films that may be shown. Debate on the measure was Interrupted by the senate repairing at noon to the hall of the house for the purpose of filling vacancies in offices in state institutions. Senator Nicholson of Edgefield ln> troduced a bill to regulate primary elections throughout the state. For the most part the bill conforms with the" rules of the state Democratic pfurty adopted last May;" the principal difference is that the enrollment books shall open and close one week earlfei-, thus allowing more time for the correction of the rolls after the duplicate has been placed in the hands of the clerks of court. On the convening of the senate, with A. J.. Bethea, lieutenant governor, presiding, many bills, principally of local significance, were introduced Senator Laney's concurrent resolution to meet at noon with the house for the purpose of electing a superintendent of the state penitentiary was passed and t sent to the house. The resolution provided that the election of a superintendent precede the election of other officers heretofore agreed upon. On motion of Senator Brice, of Chester, the president appointed Senators Brice, Walker and Christensen a committee to prepare a memorial on the late Senator P. L. Hardin of Chester, and to arrange a programme for suitable memorial services. Senator Splfener of Richland intro. duced a bill to authorize the school board of Columbia to hold an?election for a bond issue of $250,000. The two bills of Senator Sinkler abolish the office of dispensary constable, and to regulate the holding of primary elections, in Charleston county, passed third reading and were ordered sent to the house. On an amendment offered by Senator Sharpe the abolition of the office of dispensary constable in Lexington count) was also included in the former bill. The first- contest of any duration was brought about by the bill of Sen. ator Verner of Oconee to provide for Doings of the Supreme Court. "> E. G. Brown et al., appellants, vs. Thos. M.

Mr. McCullou'gh, of Greenville, irixoduced in the house a bill to subnit to the electors in the 1916 election in amendment to the constitution to )ermit women to ote in all elections. A similar bill was introduced in the L913 session of the house by Mr. McMillan of Marion. It was unfavor* ibly reported by the judiciary comnittee and was killed without debate. Speaker Hoyt received: a telegram rom W. J.

Immediately on arriving at the colege the members of the legislature vere .taken to the auditorium. Here leVeral girls took charge of the various county delegations and their niests and escorted the visitors brough all the buildings. A cry of li8may was heard from each inspectng crowd as it entered the small r mnaslum. which measured little nore than 35 by 50 feet. It was said >y the guides, students of the college hat the gymnasium was the same as hat used when only 250 pupils atended the college, while during the )resent time the roster1 of students liscloses 896 names. All other buildngs, classrooms and departments of iseful arts were gruatly admired. There followed a three hour session n the large dining hall, where belides an elaborate dinner, served by nembers of the Winthrop chapter of he United Daughters of the Confed;racy, addresses were delivered by Andrew J. Bethea, lieutenant govern>r; Alan Johnson, senator from Newjerry county, and James A. Hoyt, ipeaker of the house. D. B. Johnson, resident of the college, acted as toastrfaster.

Revelations by One Whose Experience in the Business Covers a Ranee Prom Offit e Boy to General Manager e r?=^ i ===?=^1 HOW I WORKED THE CREDIT 8Y8TEM. jit was Always my custom to state In- the catalogue in several places? "money cheerfully refunded." If you sxe dissatisfied, how many times do you get your money back? Did you e?er get it back promptly anil without a struggle? This is fny game?to pretend that your money will be returned in case you are fcot pleased with your purchase anc: then, if you do send in a good hot kick you will get a letter back asking you to select something els a from the catalogue. You will be tired cut with letters and suggestions aj) to what you should take instead of the article you kicked on until you finally decide to save any znare iruut.ie aau Lane Bununiuug wiae, something jrcni didn't want at all. Eut I suppose that really the greatest joke of all is played on the people in the email towns by my socalled "cre<yt" system. I send :wu a catalogue and invito you to buy anything you want and to take your own time to puy#for it; The literature I send out leads you to belifwe that I do not care for money at all. I. try to make you believe that you are a great friend .03? my concern, that you are entitled to great consideration, that,your wants shall be supplied with the greatest possible care and/that you are reliable and entitled to cfedit. K 'Twill not make any inquirien concerning ytttx credit," says my I'ltera* turo. . 5 \ ' ' "Xo questions wHl be asked of your neighbors," says: another paragraph, "Your neighbors and friends will never know that you are dealing with us on credit," says still another section of my. letter. But imost certjiinly do iaqalre about you. For instance: I had an outside concert?that is a concern running under another name and with a separate address froic, the main store. This address was the home of my credit manager or the office of my. "collection lawyer:", When yon wttte in for credit this Is the way I do It. I have you uign, first, of all, a paper which Is a pert of the order blank and is really a legal contract, giving me power and apriority to come Into your home and take out, not only the things you have purchased on credit from me but also everything else. When you sign au order for goodra on credit you unwittingly sign a chattel mortgage on your household property. Then, after this paper is in my possession I can swoop down on you, and drag out every stick of .furniture you hare in the place and sell it at auction to pay the amount still due. 1 ; , ... .... . , If a bookkeeper makes an error in figures, if some clerk stetils a remit-. tance. from you, sent in to apply on your account, you have absolutely no chance to object. It is the law. Now, when you send in your order and application for credit, you must eend, also?for uuch is my rule?an order and tho amount specified as the first payment. You expect to get ..the goods right away but no, there are certain things to be done before I ship the goods. I have your money, so you must wait. r Then my credit man sends a letter, written on the "fake" letterhead of my outside concern, to tome of your neighbors, asking tliem if your character is good, if you are i:a the habit of paying your bills, if yoiir morals are good, how much you ea:rn a week, etc. Your order is held until answers are received from ithose of your neighbors to whom the letters of inquiry were sent. Then if the answers have been satisfactory, you are sent a contract to be signed by you and you must wait itniHI +Viia Haa hciait ranoivaH hw m xr bUlD UHH WVWil * VVV* ? UU WJ Ul/ credit department. Then the goods are shipped. And the awful prices?,goocines8 gracious what prices charged for the very cheapest and most unreliable class of goods. My policy Is to set a price, the first payment of which pays for the actual coBt of the goods. Then all the rest is "velvet." All of the future paymeats are profit to my house. You really pay for the goods, the actual value, when you send In the first payment. . I won't lose anything if you never send in another cent But think of it?you must keep sending in money to meet the other payments for perhaps two years?so much each month.. Any time you fail to meet a monthly payment I Bend title papers to a local lawyer and he can take possession of your household , goods and sell them on the street. Some of the goods I send you are not worth hauling to the cars. I remember one lot of parlor furniture that had a lot of damages, one of which was a broken leg on the divan. It never coulcl be fixed. I sent that Bet out even time I could substitute it for another on an order ami it always came back. We had a lot of joking about that old crippled sot of parlor furniture and, well, it had a lot of adventures. I shipped that' set to nearly ev6ry state in the Union. Whenever a customer would order a parlor set, and I could not get it, for the price, ;[ us?d to uhip this crippled Bet out instead. Of course it came hank, lust as I knew it would, but lit gave me a chauce to turn round and I kept the money in the business, of course. Another strict rule is that you must make your complaints within a certain period of time after you have received the goods. No matter what was sent you, If you do not make a complaint according to the rules I have laid down, it is *.11 off. You have no redress. You must keep whatever was sent to you. I spend a big part of my expenses in the hiring of collectors and in the maintaining of a credit and collection department. Your name Is kept in a card index system. A girl hascharaLg r ** ?. . . ' of a certain number of cards. She works this list every so often. If you are slow pay, and keejp on being slow, your card is taken out and placed in another list and it, you keep on Hot paying, your card is finally placed in the list handled by the house lawyer, who comes after you with all sorts of threats. If you persist in not paying, then there are two things to do. I will send the account to a local lawyer and he will come to yoUr house and demand the payment But if it is a small acr count I will not send it for collection but will continue to send you dun notices for months afterward. Sometimes I sold these small accounts to "shyster" lawyers for a small percentage and they collect whatever they can. They will even follow a son or a daughter with the unpaid bills of parents. And the stuff you get from me isn't worth having. It is the'cheapest stuff imaginable. If it is "Clothing it won't wear well and will, come to pieces the first time you wear it out in the rain, if it is furniture It will break if a neavy person Bits down on it and ii it b hardware It is undependable and will never keep sharp and It probably has a flaw in It so that it will break at the first strain. It's not worth buying in the first place and it Isn't worth, having after you have bought it. Don't order 1i in the first place. Buy from your local dealer, who at least will listen to your complaints and replace any article not up to standard. He keeps a more dependable stock of stuff tha*n 1 do. You can rely on him, too. He cant ran away or seek refuge behind ^ letters and lies. ' \ Yes, it's the best thing to buy What you need of your merchant in your own home town.'

' f The various articles illustrated In my catalogues look good in the pictures, they are made that way to fool you. They ture misrepresented In the written descriptions and they are manufactured so as to cheat you In every possible manner. You will get better value in the. store or your, own mercnant. xnins or wis( when you neit require something. Try him oat, ask him UE he has it or if he hasn't got itin stock if he can't orderN it for yon. He will he. glad to do so. < i . . JOURNEYINGS OF HOUSE FLY ? V- ;V. ?j- OL\ * Household Petto, It la Pound, Seldom Travel Far From the Breeding ' Ground. jbr..J. T. Nash, an English'.physician, who has devoted much attention, to the spread of disease by flies, finds that the common house fly does not readily leave a house in -which it finds protection, warmth and food. Such houses situated near places where files breed?where garbage is deposItorJ nr rofiiso ffnm ctaMaa (a -Vant Tin. duly long?suffer from a plague of flies not found In houses in the next street farther away. , These nearer houses effect a considarable arrestment of the spread of flies. In these infested houses, although fly-paper may kill hundreds, just as many flies are found 24 ?' urs later if the windows are left opr x and the weather is warm. When flies are numerous, they decrease In numbers in different houses, in inverse ratio to the distance from the breeding grounds. Flies fly farther when places of arrestment, in the shape of houses, are few or far off. Where houses are few, more flies will be found than where houses are many. Where houses are numerous, few flies will travel more than i quarter of a mile. } One's Weakest Point The character of the individual stands or falls by its greatest weak nesB. xne cuaaei is never auacKeu by the enemy at its Impregnable points. The assault is bent against the weak places in the foundation or where the workmanship of the walls is defective. Men may stand firm for years, simply because the opportunity that appeals to their selfishness or their wrong tendencies has not come to them. But when the evil habit that has been allowed to develop, unseen and unsuapected by the world, meets that which attracts and calls it into action, too often character crumbles into ruins. Fuel Value of Wood and Coal. The fuel value of two pounds of wood is- roughly equivalent to that of one pound of coal. This is given as the result of certain calculations now being made in the forest service laboratory. which show also about how many cords of certain kindB of wood are required to obtain an amount of heat equal to that in a ton of coal. Certain kinds of wood, such as hickory, .oak, beech, bircb, hard maple, ash, elm, locust, longleaf pine, and cherry, have fairly high heat values, and only one cord of seasoned wood of these species is required to equal one ton of good coal. Cards on the Table. Amusing is the request of a manicure preparation firm for a lady who already has "beautiful long filbert nails," to whom the "highest terms" are offered if she will be photographed for. advertisement purposes. There is a frankness about this which I like. PirBt get the lady; then prove by her pictures how great a part our preparations played in making her what she is! This is laying the cards on the table indeed.?The Sphere. All Fond of Sweets. Honey antedated all forms ot sugar by many centuries and was the only sweet In common use. Greeks loved It and Romans fought for it. The Egyptjans cultivated it, and in far ofT Persia honey was the preferred delicacy. There was none other used by civilized man; savage man doubtless satisfied his hunger for sweats by eating fruits and vegetables containing natural sugar. Daily Thought.
