TRUCE STANDING , FOR TIME BEING IRISH AND BRITISH MAINTAIN , PEACE STATUS FOR FORT- c NIGHT AND EVERY DAY SEES t POSSIBLE AGREEMENT COM- < ING NEARER. ( i London, July 24.?'The truce be- 1 tween England and Ireland, which lasted for a fortnight is unbroken * and every day gained is regarded as J favorable to a peace settlement. T I There is no sign from Dublin of ap- _ proval or disapproval of the govern- 1 iment's proposal's, but the fact that v they have not been rejected outright s is considered good gTound for hope. s It is said that the government will not insist that the pettlement ibe ef- 1 fected through the machinery of the * existing act of Parliament, but will s be disposed to consider any plan c Upon which Ulster and Southern Ire- i land may be able to agree for attain- i ing the desired end. i Almost all the discussions here, < however, assumes that Mr. De i Valera must be willing to agree to I the maintenance of the present 1 > / 1 status of the Ulster Parliament, and t ! those most favorable to Ireland's * cause express the hope that the Irish < Republican leader and his friends i irffl see the wisdom of recognizing 1 ^ ' the futility of throwing away the i chance of peace by insisting upon any^jjlan calculated to disturb U1- < ; ster's position. Their view is that 1 time will be on their side in bring- j ing Ulster around to cooperation ^ -with the south. <r It is not yet known whether Mr. i Be Valera intends to convene the j Republican Parliament for the pur- t pose of considering the proposals. J The liberation of Countess Maikivicz j suggests that he may be waiting for j more such liberations before^taking < further steps. s WIFE NOT A CHATTEL , i 1 Has' the Right to Be Alone With a J Man Friend. i Tellahasse, Fla., July 23.?A wife the right to be alone with a man friend on a public highway without | interference from her husband, aceording to a recent decision of the t Florida Supreme Court. 8 The. case caipe up through a hus- * band meeting his wife riding alone a with another man. He attacked the * man, and as a result of the fight that * ensued his wife's oompanion was e convicted of assault with intent to I murder. The state supreme court ^ reversed the lower tribunal. ^ j? "There may have been a time when ^ a wife was regarded as her husband's chattel and being out alone on a ^ public road with another man regarded as sufficient provocation to justify the husband in making an assault upon her companion, but this ^ is no longer true, when women en- v joy equal freedom with men" said the 8 opinion l^ad by Chief Justice Brown. a ".The mere walking or driving of ^ a married woman with another man B er a married man with another wo- r , man^ is not sufficient provocation to.v justify an assault by either spouse,? and the greater freedom of inter- 0 course between men and women in c this day protects them from unwar- * ranted attacks by a jealous husband D * % '* or wife, who sees in innocent acts 1 of social intercourse confirmations v strong as proofs of holy writ' that ' they are flagrantly immoral." j * Plumbin n anrl Hpatii MIAU REASONABLE ( PRICES f .

York, July 21.?Don't kiss its dangerous; .tuberculosis and pyorrhea :an be communicated by the osculaory ceremony. Stop shaking hands; lise&se jfroducing bacteria are t*:crhanged by'this foolish custom. This vas the startling advice given today >y Dr. Miles J. Walker, prominent fork physician, in a health lecture ;o the three score girls here taking a ihort course in home demonstration vork. When the doctor registered lis strong disapproval of handshakng the girls smiled their approval; vhen he assailed kissing they sat up I md took notice?evidently this was ;omething serious. i While declining to albate one jot n his opposition to' handshaking, rhich, he insisted, should be alboli- ; hed, Dr. Walker made a slight conession to the osculatry custom adnitting that under certain conditions t might be inncuous.

He stressed the mportance of care of the teeth and rums and enumerated some of the roubles due to neglect of mouth lygiene. He urged inoculation as aj xreventive measure against typhoid | j | J I :ever ana Tueimuiieu wic sviccjuu); : >f homes and a pure water supply as j ieps in the same direction.

[b PHONE 265 1 Calvert Building Vienna Street Turner NEW BOOK, WHO'S WHO [' IN SOUTH CAROLINA The State's Book Reviewer Speaks Well of Crawford's Volume of Contemperary Men. The selection of about 700 or 800 representative South Carolinians for inclusion in this little book has been made with excellent judgment and discrimination. That is not saying that hundreds of others have not equal claims to the so*t of recognition that a work of this kind gives, but no such work can be complete and perfect. The book contains 220 pages and there are three or four : concise sketches to the page, which, 1 in a general way, follow the style and method of "Who's Who in America." The book is not without . typographical imperfections?indeed, ] in these days it seems almost beyond the pale of hope to have accurate printing. In his foreword, the editor says that one of the chief purposes of the hook is to place before students "the achievements of the successful men of the state in the hope that their examples may arouse a spirit of emu- . lation which cannot fail to prove a great practical benefit," and in this we believe that he has succeeded. What is most nqjeworthy is that the selections have been made with the evidently conscientious purpose that they be confined to men of merit as indicated by what they have done. Mr. Crawford has not allowed his work to be commercialized, it is not filled with names of men who have flone no more than pay the price of admission, and the result is that it has genuine value to people interested in South Carolinians, whether they live in the state or out of it. Presumably, "Who's Who in South Carolina," will be published at regular intervals. The edition of 1921, the first, is admirable. The great point , to be said in its favor is that it is an honest attempt to choose the men who have really won a place in a work of the character that this sets out to be. The editor has rendered a real service. He has produced a volume that is worth while. We think ?hat the next edition might contain twice as many names without lowering the standard that has governed admission to the first and in other ways it could be improved. Mr. Crawford could have made two or three times as much money out of his enterprise by accepting the dollars of all of those willing to buy their way into this 1 publication but, because he has not done that he has laid the foundation 1 for a work that should be increas- 1 ingly useful to the public and profit- ( able to himself and his associates. 1 "Who's Who in South' Carolina" j should be indispensable to men of affairs concerned with the people of 1 this Itate.?The State. - . ] Argentine Declines. i Buenos Aires, July 21.-j-The Argentine Republic has declined to mediate between Panama and Costa Rica in the territorial dispute which nnon Vinofilifiac Ladv lUaitil tauo^u uuowmvi^o I between the two central American nations and prompted the United , states to send several sharp notes to the Isthmus before warfare ceased.

Va., coal field between state police and men "armed i with high powered rifles," in which three officers were "shot in the back" were described today before the senate investigating committee by J. R. Brockus, captain of state force. At least some of the assailants were members of the United Mine Workers, he said and denied that the police had acted in high handed manner or destroyed property or excited miners. Enlistments in the state constabulary, Captain Brockus said, were confined to former service men of proved moral character preferably men overseas service. "We insist that the police be- j have," said the witness. "About ' 35 | men in my company have been dig- [ charged for misconduct." i The officer estimated that 10,000}[ shots were fired in one battle and [ 5,000 in another. } I NOTICE OF LAND SALE I By virtue of the authority vested f in me by a certain deed of Trust, I [ will sell at public auction, on the [ 1st day of August 1921 at Abbeville [ Court House, S.
