^tumorous department Where He Belonged.?One of the wealthy members of a fashionable church in Boston approached her pastor with the complaint that she was greatly disturbed by one of her neighbors. "It's positively unbearable." said she. "The man in the pew in front of us destroys all my devotional and pious feelings when he attempts to sing. Couldn't you ask him to change his pew?" The good pastor was sorely per plexed. After a rew moments renrttion he said: "Well, I naturally would feel a little delicacy on that score, more especially as I would have to give a reason. But I will tell you what I might do." Here the pastor's face became illuminated with a happy thought. "I might ask him to Join the choir."? Harper's Magazine. His "Personal Devil."?We have been told about a prominent business man in Cleveland who "got religion," as the phrase hath it. Billy Sunday hadn't been there, and no sawdust trail of heaven had been laid out. But this fellow was convinced of sin, nevertheless. After that, though he didn't become a saint, he remembered his conversion. Whenever he fell from grace, which was often, he said: "That wasn't I? it was the devil." And he got so used to laying his sins on satan that he got to be a pest. So one day a neighbor asked him: "How does it come that whenever you do anything wrong, you blame it on the devil?" "Well, gee whiz!" answered the saved soul. "Ain't that what he's for?" Object of Suspicion.?Senator JelT Davis of Arkansas, used to tell this one on himself, says the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph: "I had an appointment to speak at a town in eastern Arkansas on Saturday, and I arrived on a late train the night before, carrying nothing but a small hand grip. I went to a hotel near the depot. There was no one on duty at the hour except the night porter, and he was acting as porter, clerk and general overseer. I registered and he showed me to a room; but in a few minutes he came back and said: " 'Boss, my 'structlon is, when a gemman haven't any baggage, to collect in advance." " 'Why, I've got baggage," I replied, pointing to the little grip. '"I know, sir. boss," he said; 'but you've stayed too long on that already.' " Receiving the Discard.?One of our trenches in the first line suddenly received a fire of shells. The occupants perceived with distress that the projectiles came from the rear and were from our own batteries. The battery was telephoned: "You are firing upon us!" iNOi ai an. we are units uii iuc German trench." "But we are getting all the pruneaux," (the prunes, that is the shrapnel.) "At what distance are you from the German trench?" "Twenty meters." The battery commander then replied with mathematical sangfroid: "Twenty meters? Ah, you are probably getting the discard!"?Le Cri de Paris. Matter of Opinion.?"Mary!" Father's voice rolled down the stairs and into the dim and silent parlor. "Yes, papa, dear." "Ask the young man if he has the time." "Yes, George has his watch with him." "Then ask him what is the time." "He says it is 11.48, papa." "Then ask him if he doesn't think it about bed time." Another moment of silence. "He says, papa," the silvery voice announced impersonally, "he says that he rarely goes to bed before one, but it seems to him that it is a matter of personal preference merely, and that if he were in your place he would go now if he felt sleepy." Had Him*?One day the archbishop of Canterbury was to officiate at an imnnrfonf o ?i/-?in T nn/lnn nPVui main entrance to the abbey was opened, and a great space roped off so that the dignitaries might alight from their equipages unmolested. When a dusty four-wheeler crossed the square, driven by a fat, red-faced cabby, bobbies rushed out to head him off. "Get out of 'ere," one of them called briskly. "This entrance is reserved for the archbishops." With a wink and a backward jerk of his thumb, the irrepressible cabby replied cheerfully, "I have the old duffer inside." As the Judge Saw Them,?One day while walking with a friend in San Francisco, a professor and his companion became involved in an argument a3 to which was the handsomer man of the two, according to the Chicago News. Not being able to arrive at a settlement of the fun, they decided to leave it to the decision of a Chinaman who was seen approaching them. The matter being laid before him, the Oriental considered long and carefully, then he announced, in a tone of finality, "Both are worse." Father's Idea.?Gertrude was home for the Christmas holidays, and in her honor the old folks were holding a reception. And in their honor Gertie brought forth her new garments. Picking up a delightful creation, she held it up before the admiring crowd and said: "Isn't this perfectly scrumptuous? Just think, all this silk came from the little, insignificant worm." Her hardworking father looked a moment, his Drows rurroweu. "Gertrude." he said, "that is not the way to refer to your father." Ju?t Would.?A mother trying to get her little daughter three years old, to go to sleep one night, said: "Dora, why don't you go to sleep?" "I am trying to," she replied. "But you haven't shut your eyes." "Well. I can't help it: dey comes unbottoned." A Wonderful Stove.?In the picture a cook was using a gas stove. Two housemaids in the audience were watching the scene with great interest. "Sure. Mary." said one, "do you know a gas range is a foine stove. We have one where I work.

Stone of Newberry. I)r. C. J. Oliveros, a prominent eye, ear and nose specialist of Columbia, who was well known throughout the state, died last week. Governor Manning has asked for the registration books of the city of Spartanburg following the filing of recall petitions from that city with him. Elliot Sally, colored, was killed at a saw mill in Colleton county last week when he became entangled in the shafting and gearing of the mill. The steeple of the Baptist church at Norway was overturned by the high wind Thursday night. The damage is estimated at about $500. Prof. R. N. Brackett of Clemson college, was elected president of the association of Official Agricultural Chemists in Washington last week. Sixteen out of twenty-one applicants who appeared before the state pharmaceutical board in session at Greenwood last Thursday and Friday, were given license to practice. Greenwood Journal: Taylor brothers and 20 of their hands killed 87 rabbits last Tuesday on their river plantation near Ninety-Six. This is unquestionably the record hunt of the season in Greenwood county. Feaster Jones, a well known young farmer of Star, Anderson county, was acquitted In the court of general sessions in Anderson Friday afternoon, of the murder of Dr. Lawrence O. McCalla. Jones accused Dr. McCalla of criminal relations with his, Jones' wife, approached McCalla with a pistol, gave him two minutes to pray and then shot him dead. The South Carolina College Press association, which was held in Spartanburg last week, came to a close Friday night, after selecting Greenville as the place or the next meeting, ine winners of the four medals offered by the association were announced Friday as follows: Best poem. Lucius Johnson, University of South Carolina, "The Lassie O'er the Sea;" best short story. Florence Glass, Converse college, "The Double Bondage;" best sketch, Howard Danner, University. "The Author, Thou Thyself;" best essay, A. L. Pickens, Furman, "The Humming Bird." Nearly 200 carloads of coal from the Clinchfleld mines arrived in Spartanburg yesterday over the lines of the C. C. & O., for movement over connecting lines to various southeastern points, says a Spartanburg dispatch of Wednesday. This is one of the biggest coal movements of the year for the Clinchfleld, though it does not break the records of the railroad for coal movement. About 45 carloads came In Saturday on a special train, to be moved from this point via the Southern railway to Charleston where it is being loaded this week on the International, one of the steamers of the Clinchfleld Navigation company, for the export This in ?Via raonnri loadlnar of the International at the Charleston piers. The cars of coal received over the C. C. &. contained each about 50 tons of coal. Greenville Piedmont, Friday: The complaints in ten of the 75 condemnation suits brought by the United States government to obtain possession of a large area of wooded land in Oconee county for forest reserves were filed yesterday in the office of pie clerk of court. Another batch of complaints are near completion and, according to information from the district attorney's office, will be filed probably the first part of next week. It is the expectation of officials to have all of the cases in readiness for trial at the next term of the Federal court in February. Thousands of acres of land in the mountains of Oconee county are involved in the condemnation suits, and if the government gains control of the property the owners will undoubtedly receive much money. Federal officials have been working on the cases for months. The state convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, which was neia in Aisen, came 10 a ciose rriday night, after selecting Union as the place for holding the 1916 meeting. Mrs. J. L.

A ^ resolution indorsing Miss Poppen- 1 heim was adopted with marked enthusiasm and a rising vote. HAS GOVERNOR LOST GROUND? j Review of Events of Governor Manning's Administration. There are many rumors in circula- J tion to the effect that Governor Man- , ning has lost ground. Perhaps no one has traveled over the state more 1 thoroughly than has the writer of this 1 editorial and he has inquired the reason for the governor's loss of influence, if there has been an appreciable loss of influence. We found some dis- ' satisfaction in Anderson and Union 1 that may cause Mr. Manning some ' concern, but we think that has been ' offset by conversions of some men who ' were not his supporters last year. Mr. ' Manning: has lost some votes in every 1 county, perhaps. But that was to be ' expected. No man can hold all of his 1 supporters in line if he tries to ac- 1 complish anything; for those support- * ers represent their occupations. < tastes and viewpoints a great contra- '> riety of sentiment, hence a conflict of < interests. Since each man feels more i than he thinks, there is inevitably some ' disappointment however earnestly a governor may strive to serve the best interests of the state. Mr. Manning has made some mis- I takes that show exceedingly bad i judgment, as his controversy with the < attorney general, in which the gover- J nor is badly in the wrong; in the ap- < pointment of Dr. Williams to the asy- | lum position at a salary double that al- l lowed by law; in which case the gov- j ernor's heart was right, but he had | overlooked the fact that such a course t would bring upon him. and deservedly, ( too, the censure of those who regard ' the salary of an official the proper con- ( cern of the legislature, not the governor. Then, again, Mr. Manning should not have asked for or permitted the special counsel fee. The attorney general is the law officer and was elected by the people. Furthermore the governor gave his sanction to an inquiry in the guise of local legislation relative to Clarendon county that was not consonant with the just expectations of right thinking people, and his rea *? " a whnllv Imnroner ?UI1 lui aj/j;luMiip, v* ?? x m act did not control him when something affecting the Sumter business men came before him, though we agreed with him in that instance. But we have stated the case against the governor. Is there nothing in his favor? There is. He has honestly striven to enforce the law, and this Is the chief function in his office. He has backed up the officers of the law and has required them to take the initiative in bringing offenders to Justice. He acted like a man in the Charleston trouble and probably prevented riot and wholesale slaughter. We have information that the arrival of the militia prevented a clash that needed but the signal to begin a statumalia. He has devoted his best thought and his private means to the state. He has fostered every institution and every agency that we have for the education of our boys and girls and for the development of our resources. He has stood before us a man who has made mistakes, but who honors his state in the faithful performance of his duty. He is a Christian gentleman and a fine specimen of our citizenship. We can commend him because he deserves It. We can forget the little mistakes In the larger accomplishments for the state. Whether Mr. Manning is reelected or whether he is defeated does not alter this fact?he has tried to do the right thing for the whole of the state. Made mistakes? Oh, yes! We too, make them sometimes; don't you? ?Manning Herald. GENERAL NEWS NOTES Items of Interest Gathered from All Around the world. Pennsylvania crude oil has advanced In price to $2 a barrel.

It is stated that on his recent visit to Quebec on a hunting ' trip he declared that he would like to be fighting at the front in the same cause as the Canadians. Canned Editorials.?A gentleman remarked to us a few days since that a ' certain newspaper used canned editorials. We inquired what kind of an editorial a canned editorial was. He stated that these productions were furnished by some concern that had them prepared to hand, and they were sold to the newspapers. He soon afterward picked up two newspapers and said, "Look here, and I will show you.what a canned editorial is," and he handed us two reputable daily papers each of which had edito-r rials in the same day's issues that were exactly the same word for word. Dne of these editorials was headed, 'Hated by the World," the other was bended, "Railroad Mortgages." One of these papers is published in South Carolina, the other is published in another state, and both of them cover x part of the same territory. Canned editorials are of course much easier Tor the editor to handle than it would be for him to work out real live ones Trom his own brain, but we greatly prefer the latter, and we should think that they are likely to be more adapted to the situation than the ones that -> ?<<?

SUPERINTENDENT SWEARINGEN Beautiful Tribute to One Who is Doing Much for South Carolina. Away up near the top of a skyscraper building in Columbia, South Carolina, is an office whose windows overlook the country for miles around. On a clear day?and clear days in that gentle climate are many?the vista from these windows is a delight and Joy. Beyond the quaint old homes and gardens of the beautiful little ll~ *V?<v minorla/1 nfhif A souiueni uuj no mc uuue.vu and gold patches of cotton and grain, interlaced by winding ribbons of green where purling, tree-lined streams meander idly through the farm lands; and in the far distance the purplehazed outline of the Piedmont rises gently to meet the fleecy, sun-flecked clouds overhead. At a huge, document-strewn desk near one of these broad windows with its charming view sits a man in whose hands, more than any other, rests the future welfare and prosperity of the old Palmetto state. Other officials, from the governor to the holder of the humblest office in the gift of the people, come and go with the political tides: but in the many upheavals that have torn the state politically since this man's installation seven years ago no candidate has ever entered the lists against him. So day after day he sits in his high, sunny office, guiding with patience and skill the destinies of the four hundred thousand children intrusted to his care. But of the sunlit fields, the blooming gardens, and the misty range of hills rising to meet the everchanging clouds, John Swearingen may only vaguely dream. He is stone blind. It was the century-old tragedy of the small boy and his first gun. Twenty six years ago, when Dr. Swearingen was thirteen years old, he pleaded so persistently for a shotgun that his father, a well-to-do planter, reluctantly gave him the coveted weapon with many an admonition on the accidental shooting of other people. Almost immediately the accident happened. The gun, carelessly handled, wrought its terrible havoc; but on the lad himself, maiming his right hand and destroyed his sight. A year later, when all efforts to restore the boy's sight had proved fruitless, he was sent to the state school for the blind, near Spartanburg, South Carolina. Graduating from this institution, young Swearingen returned home to continue his studies under his mother, a woman of more than ordinary talent and culture, who kept his courage and ambition alive, and by her efforts fitted him for entrance to South Carolina college, now the state university. The faculty were somewhat dubious over admitting a blind youth to the college work; though they were keenly sympathetic with the unusual ambition that inspired him. Young Swearingen determined to enter, finally overcame their opposition. He had brought his cousin with him, and eventually the boys were permitted to matriculate. This was in 1895. For the succeeding four years the blind student worked unceasingly, suprred on by his set determination to complete his education despite the handicap. State Superintendent of Education Swearingen began his fight against poverty, ignorance and Indifference. Thoroughly familiar with the splendid work being aone in many oiner siaies ne iearlessly attacked conditions in his own. There was scarcely a branch of the existing system that did not need heroic treatment, and to accomplish anything he must have money. It was an uphill struggle; but Swearingen's blood was up, and the result, as shown in hundreds of modern schools, extended terms, equipment, etc., forming too lengthy a statement to be given in detail here, may at least be expressed in the most congent of all terms, money. During his first year in office the extra appropriation allowed him was a little over six thousand dollars. Continuously waging his war for more money, Swearingen forced an increase each year, until last year the extra appropriations was two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. This year he i* demanding nearly four hundred thousand dollars in extra appropriations? and he will get it, too. South Carolina is yet far from a model in educational work. There are scores of things to be done, and done thoroughly before she can rank among the leaders. But dollar for dollar? and without these self-same dollars the greatest educational genius in the world would fall dismally?the improvement in the educational standards and equipment in South Carolina during the last six years will rank with any state in the Union. Perhaps it is just as well for the public weal that John Swearlngen is blind. He cannot see the charming vista beyond the windows of his lofty, sunny office, nor the faces of the thousands who love and respect him for the work he is doing. But back jf those sightless eyes, undisturbed by .he thousand daily trivialities that distract us from our tasks, lies a vision far more real than is given us to Iream. Legions of healthy, happy children people it, and the land is lotted with schools where health and happiness may thrive. And behind :he vision, powerful, fearless, confident lay by day crystalizing it into fair eality, sits John Swearlngen, blind guardian of South Carolina's future.? f. W. Church, in Anderson Daily Mall. Fighting by Night. A nocturnal attack 011 the firing line looks like an exhibition of fireworks magnified a thousand fold, says a writer in the November Populai Science Monthly and World's Advance, lescribing the various devices used by he warring armies to illuminate the battlefields. At the lirst shot in the black-us?, brilliant searchlights, mounted on notor trucks, criss-cross the battleleld with their blinding shafts of ight, confusing the attackers and exbofing them to the death-dealing fire >f guns and rifles. A sound like a riant skyrocket is heard, and over he opposite trenches a huge rocket bursts, and, descending slowly under i parachute, an incandescent ball hrows down a fan of light, which iluminates the surrounding territory for several minutes. Before it goes out >thers take its place, keeping the field inder a brilliant light during the enire engagement. A glance down the ength of the line reminds one of the lrop lights of the stage, magnified a housand times. As far as one can see hese lights are dropping, shedding heir lights the better to allow their nakers to kill. The whirr of an aeroplane's proleller is heard overhead. Another longer is added to the melee, and bombs drop in rapid succession from the swift machine. The searchlights tlash upward, sweeping the sky, and finally focus their pencils of light upon the fragile, flying thing. Ofne beam holds the range, while the rest returns to the battlefield. Guns fire in quick succession and a series of fireballs chase across the sky. The anxir is gunners follow their shots with their eyes, only to see them fall wide. By watching the course of the illuminated projectile, they are sometimes able to reach their mark, and the aeroplane crumples and falls to earth. From three-legged standards, much like our own skyrocket holders, rocKeis are shot out over the field and explode In a great glare of light. The soldiers defending their trenches place small grenades In the barrels of their rifles and, resting the butts against the ground, pull the trigger. There Is a violent recoil, and an illuminating bomb is shot, to explode over the heads of the attackers and bathe them in light for nearly a minute. Joseph Hillstrom, condemned murderer, whose case attracted attention throughout the country and prompted the intercession of President Wilson, the Swedish minister to the United States and the American Federation of Labor, was put to death by a firing squad in the Utah state prison at 7.42 a. m., Friday. His death was instantaneous. Hlllstorm's final words were: "Fire! Let her go!" uttered a moment before the rifles cracked.

Look Before You Leap DURING the past six or eight years I have frequently heard the 1 statement made that people had learned a great deal more about Life Insurance than they used to know, and that the Individual who had made up his mind to Insure his life was pretty V - W-A TT- r Uv apt to ix)ok r?eiure no uoa^u. m/ observation is that "some" people have learned that all legal reserve or \ so-called "old line" companies, ARE NOT "About the same." They have ( learned that all of them DO NOT treat all of their members In the same way, ' and that all have not records extend- ( Ing over a long series of years of a 1 Square Deal to each policy holder, ' whether he knew what was his dues ! under his contract or not?such a rec- j orl, for instance, as the Mutual Bona- : fit HAS. It Is a fact that the average ! buyer of Life Insurance buys from an Agent who "goes after him," regardless of what company the Agent rep- | resents, or the nature of the contract ; he sells. Comparatively few seem to understand that while there is little ' difference In the net cost of Insurance 1 in any of the old, established, legal reserve companies, there Is a vast difference in the Contracts. In view of the < fact that the Individual who buys the insurance "Pays the freight," it would seem to be only common, business ( sense for him to "Look Before He 1 Leaps," even though his own brother 1 was the Agent who first caused him to become interested In life Insurance.
