Tolbert May Get Republican Plum. Greenwood, April 28.-According to those in close touch with dispens ers of Republican patronage in this state, the appointment of R. Red Tol bert of Abbeville county as United States marshal for the Western dis- ? trict of South Carolina is almost a certainty now that Maj. J. F. Jones of Blacksburg has been appointed to be collector of internal revenue. Mayor Jones is allied with the Tol bert faction of the Republican party in this state. The appointment of collector has been between Major Jones and Mr. Tolbert, it is understood, and now that Major Jones is collector, Mr. Tol bert is slated for the marshalship. It is stated on good authority that the appointment of Mr. Tolbert will be made in a short time. Charles J. Lyon, at present marshal, has not re signed, but it is rumored that is res ignation has been asked for or that it has been intimated to him that his resignation will be acceptable. Three Hundred Miles on a Gallon of Oil. The day is close at hand when ev ery man and woman will be equipped with his and her own automobile when the workman on the way to the shop, thc saleswoman on the way to the department store; maybe the child on the way to school, will "ride." The story in the paper Friday the Associated Press telegram from Syracuse-about the Elmer invention in part points that way. H. H. Elmer has hit upon an erigine which will send an-automobile three hundred | | miles on a gallon of fuel costing five and a half cents. We are told that internationally known engineering experts, includ- , ing Arthur West, chief engineer of \ the Bethlehem Steel Corporatoin, i have inspected Mr. Elmer's engine, t and are said to have pronounced it 1 hundreds of years ahead of times. 1 The full sized models were tested be fore the directors Thursday. One of the models, a one cylinder, three} ? horse power engine, run continuous ly for eighteen hours on one and one-{ I quarter pints of fuel, the directors stated. The fuel used is oil, either 11 mineral, animal or vegetable. No ig- \ nition or carburetor is used. One of Mr. Elmers' models has attained a speed of from 2,500 to 3,000 revolu tions a minute, he claims. The prin ciple of the discovery is based on the chemistry of oil, according to Mr. F^Brmer^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ S With oil costing less than six cents on three hundred miles, and with Ford promising one-hundred dollar cars, the transportation problem, as applied to the individual, is promis ing enough.-Augusta Chronicle. "What Are You Doing With the Negro You Own?" Ex-Secretary of the Navy Jose phus Daniels was one of the speak ers at the recent unveiling of the monument to Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Alabama. He says that the thing that perhaps impressed him most about his visit was the practi cal, horse-sense talk a colored woman made to the Negroes at a meeting held in connection with the unveiling. This is what she told them: "In the old days'the owners of slaves found slavery profitable to them. That is why they owned slaves and why they opposed emancipation. How did they make a slave profitable to them? They did three things: 1. They made the slaves get up and get out early in the morning. 2. They made them work after they got out in the morning. 3. They made them come in at night and go to bed and get their night's sleep. Now, every Negro who hears me owns a Negro-you own yourself. You can make that, ownership of a JNegro as profitable to yourself as the .slave owner made the slave profitable . -to him. How can you do it? 1. Make the Negro you own g?t up ;and out in the morning. 2. Make the Negro you own work. 3. Make the Negro you own come in at night. As Mr. ?Daniels .said, "This is just about as good advice for white folks :As for Negroes." Every white boy and every white man ought to say to .himself: "I own a white man and it is up to me to train him and treat him so he will be ten times more profitable to me-by inspiring him to use both brain and muscle for me, than the mere muscle-service of a . slave was ever worth to a master."

Here, summarized, are Mrs. Roberta Menges' views of matrimony: "Wifely extravagance is merely self defense. Why? Because with all the amateur 'vamps* that ure running I about these days the woman who helps lier husband save money is mere ly laying up a bankroll for another woman to spend. "For every woman who loses her husband because she is at fault there are a thousand who lose their hus bands because the men themselves are at fault. "It takes a year to discover what a man really is; and the woman who can get on with a man for a year can find him compatible forever. "There is a man, the right man, too, for every woman. If she puts herself out a little she can get two. "Girls, go out and be seen if you want husbands. "Wives, always smile, if you die doing it. "Never complain; don't make him jealous or he will get tired and quit. "If your husband ls flirting a little, pretend not to know about it. Why look for trouble?

"fl9 3s 6d federal Income tax re funded to three journalists on H. M. S. Renown." This item in the annual report of the commonwealth auditor general closes the story of an amusing display of red tape on the occasion of the visit of the prince of Wales? to Australia. With the heir to the 1m periu: throne were three eminent news paper men who furnished the United Kingdom with graphic news of the ?velcome and of Australia's great pos sibilities. From the prime miuister lown to the train guard, every one recognized the sweet uses of this ad rertlsement-every one but a zealous ncome tax official. Before the en ihusiastic visitors could step back on he battle cruiser Renown they were resented with a little tax bill, esti nated on what they were believed to ?ave earned by their contributions vhiie in Australia to their newspapers ? Britain. They paid, but dropped a atirical comment lu the ear of an Uistra?an friend. That comment cent straight to the heart of the prime alnister, whose fiery comments on the ax department appeared in an expur ;ated form lp a smiling and sympa hetic press, and the visiting journal 5ts received handsome apologies and hecks for the amounts paid. All of rhich is not stated in the dry record f the auditor general.-Christian Scl nce Monitor. _ di New Tunnel Through the Alps. The Alps' new tunnel, a great un lertaking of drilling from Switzer and into Italy, begun 20 years ago, k-as completed last month, when the ost stone of the roof of the second unnel was placed in position by repre entatives of Switzerland and Italy. Liter the ceremony the party wenc o Is-elle and placed a wreath on the nemorial stone to 60 workmen killed luring the work of the second tunnel. This new Simpl?n tunnel was pierced jlmultaneously with the first tunnel :o facilitate the aeration of the work ngs. But Us transformation from a nere gallery lni# an international nigh road was started only in De cember 1912. Colossal difficulties were sncountered in making the first tun nel. Great hot springs had to be har nessed and canalized. At a spot about 2% miles from the Italian opening the rock pressure was so great thal 18 months was spent in advancing the boring 50 y?f?s at a cost of $800, [)00. Each tunnel is 12% miles long, of which 5J,3 miles is on Swiss ter ritory. The first tunnel, Including the gnllery for the second, cost approxi mately $17,500,000. The estimated cost of the 3econd was $6,750,000. To Keep River From Freezing. It is possible to prevent a river from freezing over by supplying a small amount of heat, the American Asso ciation for the Advancement of Science at Toronto was told the other day by John Murphy, engineer of the Canadian department of railways and canals. The Rock river In Illinois, a navigable stream, has been kept from freezing for five winters over thirteen miles of Its length by spilling tepid water into lt at the rate of two bar rels a second, he said. Mr. Murphy explained that ice would not form when water was one thousandth of a degree above 32 Fahrenheit, the freezing point of wa ter. _ Women Taught to Shoot A number of good shots have been developed among the women employees of the Post Office department since they have been practicing with pistols at various ranges In the large cities, says the New York Evening Post. The practice Is to familiarize the registry clerks with arms, so that in an emer gency they can protect themselves and the valuable property in their care. Not satisfied with the government schedule of target work, some of them are spending their own time on other shooting ranges, with a view to enter ing amateur competitions. 'Only One of His Kind.

Having sat at their feet, so to say, ad having listened to their elo aence, we do not really see how we tay evad? the clear duty to make ar acknowledgement of a debt new r acquired. One of those rare debts e gladly owe-would go into bank iiptcy in order to continue owing. Dr. Johnson, along with thousands f other masculine writers, did his est to say something mean about romen speakers.

We are sure-have long been sure -that women can talk as effectively in public as in private. And that, if not approbation from Sir Hubert, de serves to be. If we had not been so sure of our ground in this respect, we should be after hearing yesterday two young high school girls of this State handle the abstruse problem of taxation in South Carolina-and give to the sub ject a carrying power and a charm we had never suspected it possessed in any hands, or in any golden mouths. We left the forum almost persuaded to return all the property we do not possess at the very fullest valuation. The scene was the Chapel of. the University of South Carolina, the subject of debate "South Carolina's Tax Problem," the contestants two young girls and two boys frorn^ the High School of ^ock Hill. Rock Hill, having defeated every rival, was left to fight out the final tourney between champions of her own. We do not wish to overpass the fine efforts of the boys, but can not omit recognition of the very astound ing achievement of the two young girls-Catherine Massey and Kath erine Hammond. This is, indeed, the golden-"if I unadmitted"-age of woman. It even seems to be the age of the young girl. Art and literature will doubtless so record it.-The State. "THE BACKSLIDER."
