Another Drop German Mark. Berlin, Aug. 15.-The dollar at more than 1,000 marks was the sen sational news that passed from one end of Germany to the other today. The newspapers of Germany handle the story like they did the big news of victories and defeats during the war. The plight of the mark is the fea ture in the headlines of practically the entire German Press, and noth ing better illustrates the pound ster ling as the yard stick in the world of finance. Although the sterling today was relatively higher than the. dollar, none of the German papers mention ed the point. The failure of the London con ference caused the mark to take an unprecedented plummet drop from 832 to 1,024 today. There are many predictions that it will reach 2,000 and there is gloom in banking, gov ernment and industrial circles. Restaurants and hotels are busy marking up the prices on their menu cards and boosting their room rates to conform to the new exchange rate. Shops and stores are also trying to keep pace with the "onward march ing dollar." The government is shuddering at the prospect of heavy demands for wage increases. Official reports from Vienna are that the cost of living has increased in Austria by 124 per cent since the middle of July and the prospects are that this record will be surpassed by Germany. An Election Prediction. Of course there are going to be a few scattering votes for all the can didates, but the leaders in the first race are going to be Blease, McLeod and Laney in the order named; and the second race, of course, is going to be between Blease and McLeod. The machine calculates on electing McLeod over Blease in the second primary with the votes that go to Laney in the ' frst primary.-The York Enquirer. The above is from the Yorkville enquirer, always a supporter of for mer Governor Cole L. Blease, and, of course, supporting him again this year. The Enquirer is a trained and hardened observer of political affairs in the state and its political opinion is perhaps as worthy of con sideration as any. Of course it has always predicted the election of Blease. It has been wrong more times than right in that, of course. The Herald has no idea that Blease will be elected this year. But perhaps it is just as well to say that in all probability McLeod will be the candidate who will beat Blease and upon whom all the anti-Blease voters will concentrate for that purpose. This not because McLeod is a better man than Laney, but because Mc Leod had more political strength to begin with than Laney. It is simply a case of to him that hath it shall be given. South Carolina is not allowed much choice among her sons. It is al ways a matter of either electing or beating Blease-and that's all there is to it.-Spartanburg Herald. Swift Justice For Criminals. The Anderson (S. C.) Tribune holds to it that lynching will disap pear promptly that speedy justice is meeted out to criminals. It points out the North Carolina case. For quick dispatch of the law, that state is to be complimented. A short time ago three negroes were arrested there, charged with crimi nally assaulting a white woman, shooting her husband and looting a tent under which a Miami, Fla., cou ple were camping for the night. Two weeks has not elapsed since that tragic occurrence, but three negroes have been apprehended, tried and two of them sentenced to die in the electric chair on September 15th. The third, a minor participant, was given twelve years in the North Car olina penitentiary. Two of the negroes confessed their guilt upon arriving at the death house in Raleigh Wednesday. The law was triumphed; mob rule does not predominate in North Carolina. "That was the orderly way of do ing things" contends The Tribune." A lynching was avered by the work of the officers of ene vicinity of Carthage. Today there is no regret among the people of the community in which the crime was committed that a lynching did not occur. In stead, there is a higher respect for law, as there should be. When justice is dealt and dealt swiftly, there can be no disrespect for the law as there is when delays creep in."-Augusta Chronicle.

CARELESS DRIVER WARNED Instructions to motorists who dis regard signs merely calling attention to steep hills or railroad crossings must be explicit, according to the Trav elers' Standard. Any novice should be able to make a safe crossing If he follows the advice set forth by this warning near Ithaca, N. Y. Grow Flowers With Vegetables. There is no reason why flowers and vegetables should not be grown to gether. It is difficult to draw the line anyway. The dahlia, now one of the most popular flowers, was originally planted with the intention of using the tubers as a potato substitute. The scarlet runner bean, grown by the acre on the farms of England, Is most often used in America as a climbing vine around the house; in fact, there aro many persons not aware the beans are good to eat The ideal garden ls one which com bines flowers, vegetables and fruit Such a garden should have a place c* every farm and back of every sub urban home. Oftentimes the vegetable plot can be surrounded with a border planted on two sides with small fruit like raspberries, currants, gooseberries and grapes, and on the other two sides with annual and perennial flowers. May Restrain Billboards. Many people, especially those that go down to the country in motorcars, will welcome the efforts that are be ing made In Maine to deal more faithfully than ever with the billboard. If an amendment to the state bill board regulations now before the sen ate Is carried, no billboard or advertis ing sign may In future be erected at any point where lt can obstruct the view of a curve or angle. It ls a good amendment so far as lt goes. A better one would be to abolish the billboard In th* country, altogether. Christian Science Monitor. Four-Handed Twin-Grand Piano. A twin-grand piano, the first of its kind ever constructed, was recently demonstrated at an orchestral con cert, at Leipzig, Germany. This novel Instrument, of which a photograph appears In Popular Mechanics Maga zine, is like two grand pianos placed end to end and Inclosed In one frame, excepting that It hns only one soundboard.
