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. I lit it two
weeks ago and it ain't out yit."

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

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

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?

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

be for him to work out real live ones

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

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.?

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.
Social Rivalry.?"I understand that
there are two rival social sets in this
town."
"Yes. One set is composed of people
who have undergone operations for
appendicitis, and the others have had
the children's adenoids removed."?

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.
