I 1??MU wil UUI1U ringham Palace London, Tan. 20.?German aircraft made their long threatened raid on England last night and attempted to blow up with bombs the King's Royal residence in Sandringham, County Norfolk. King George and Queen Mary, who have stayed at Sandringham with their family, only yesterday returned to London. It is not definitely known whether the raiders were Zeppelins or aeroplanes, but Zeppelins were reported yesterday as pass ing over the North Sea in a westerly direction and some believed these were the raiders. The night was dark and cloudy, which made it impossible for the people in the town over which they passed to distinguish even the outlines of the raiders, though the whirr of their propellers and the droning of their motors could be heard. A Zeppelin is reoorted to have been brought down by a warship at Hunstanton, a few miles north of Sandringham. Bombs were dropped in Yar mouth, King's Lynn, Sandringham, Cromer, Sherringham and Beeston. Everywhere, except at Beeston, casualties and dam 10 properly resulted. The first place visited was the widely-known seaside resort and fishing town of Yarmouth. \ man and a woman were killed, a number of persons were injured and much damage to ' property was done by the raiders. Their visit lasted less than 10 minutes. Four or five b^^h^j^^dro^ """ "ped in Yarmoutff^^WaeSh^T ^ tack began the autorities gave instructions that all lights be extinguished and other precaution ary measures were taken. Few ' signs of panic were seen during the raid. Population Near Hundred m;ii;? fuauvu Washington, Jan. 22.?The population of continental United States will pass the 100,000,000 mark within the next three months, according to two estimates made public by govern ment bureaus today. Geo- ] grapher C. D. Sloan estimated . that the population would be 100,000,000 at 4 p. m., April 12. Government Actuary McCoy ol the treasury department calculated that it would be 100,016,000 rtn RnKrnni... i vt* a. wuiuaiy i* x iic census bureau estimate was based on the increase between 19(H) and 1910 and indicated that the country would contain 100,399,318 persons July 1st next, and more than 108,000,000 July 1st 1920. , The 1900 census showed a population of 75,994'575 while the 1910 figures was 91,972,266. A Woman's Logic The following fable, which is probably of Turkish origin, is not without a touch of truth: As 1 a woman was walking, a man looked at and followed her. "Why," said she, "do you follow me?" "Because," he replied, "I have ! luucu in love witn you." "Why so? My sister, who is t coming after nie, is much handsomer than I am. Go and make ! love to her." The man turned back and saw ] a woman with an ugly face, and being greatly displeased, return ?1.1 n.J ' 1 * ' " v-vt auu saiu: wny should you 1 tell me a falsehood?" 1 The waman answered: "Nei- 1 ther did you tell the truth; lor, if ( vou were in love with me why c did you look back for another I woman?'V-The Pathfinder.

Following: up my communication of last week will sav that as 1 the committees had not reported 1 on any bills the General Assem- c bly adjourned the ' 15th to meet again at 8 o'clock p. m.the 18th. s The order of business being the 1 arranging for the inauguration ( of Gov. elect Manning, which 1 took place in the Ilall of the ( House of Representatives at 12 1 o'clock m. the 19th. There was ? probably as much interest ? shown in the ceremonies as of ( any governor elected since 1 Hampton's day. The crowd ' thronged the Hall and the push ( ?cia aw tiiai me pouco nad > to take a hand in preserving * order so that the inaugaral address of the Governor could be 1 heard. Everyone was pushing ^ to get a look at Gov. Manning. ( The inaugural address was a s very clear and concise com * munication and placed the Gov- ( ernor before the people in the *light of a constructive statesman. * The address however has been * criticized to some extent on ( account of the different commis sions which the Governor wish- j es appointed, and his views on 1 different subjects. On Wednes- c day the 20th we visited Winthrop \ College on Ihe invitation of the 1 president, and viewed and invos- c tigated South Carolina's plant N for the education of the girls of s the State, which, I must say, is great. c We have fir ally settled down c to work.

I think we might as^\veJf^?ot s ready for compulsory atien- 1 dance in the public schools as it n is coming in the near future. There seems to be a great . wave in favor of prohibition and !' it is my opinion that this matter will be referred to the voters.

That two thirosT )f the people who notice the ex^p ra dime pocket it and waij^i" iwav. That iJhetween the meptg ind women, a little over 30 pefifS cent are honest, while the wo-| nen are divided evenly, half and j lalf, and that about 32 per eant h )f the people who Ret smallL change at a counter don't bothtsB o count it at all. The Ellicott merchant struck lpon the dime as the coin which vhen added to a customer's 1 change would excite the least \ iuspicion and at the same time ' >e oi enouRh value to test unconsciously his or her honesty. >o L'b of these silver'pieces were fiven to the clerk to give to the ? irst customers getting back change. The first person to buy, a wo- N nan, gave a bill of large denom- \ nation. In the considerable * :hauge she received was theexra dime. She took her bundle N n one hand, and staffing the hange into her? pocket book ' vith her other, hurriedly left the . tore. A man came next who aid down a half dollar for a 10 ent cigar. Five dimes were his hange. He counted them surey enough, but seeing the clerk y ngaged in other work walked ? way without further words. ? Jp^VO UlL I 'u nnwfc Pitied by the merchant him- * elf, who was not visible from tie counters. Neither of the ? lext customers were careful nough to examine their change nd went away without knowrig thev were honestly dishonest. "he fifth, however, a woman, . ounted her change as carefully s though she were often cheatd, and perceiving the unexpect- r d dime, made exit quickly. It ? ma u-e si.vui person wno count- ^ d the change, this time a wonan, who returned it. Of the 25 customers who were lie subjects of the test, there /ere only five others beside this /oman who went back to the lerk to tell him he had made a t listake. Of this total of six, aur were men. Opposed to the { ix were 11 customers who ^ nowinglv walked off with the xtra dimes, nine of them men j. nd two of them women. One ^ >f them started at first to return ? is coin, but with a second J liought, fixed things with his * onscience a id walked off withtit telling. The characteristics of the ight who hustled away without lancing at their change intersted the invisible merchant. nree ol llieiin wore young men vho wished to make an imprcs ' ion of carelessness . ii money. rour were business men who vere honestly in a hurry. And he eighth was the firjt customer woman, evidently a thoughtless and careless one. The merchant was personally cquainted with each of his customers. All had reputations of itegrity and honesty, lie is onvinced that had thn li*V M " ?\/l| il I r een larger more would have 1 iiiled lo return it. Another example of petty dis- c onesty in another part of the tore was being observed at the 1 a me time. A woman about to s uy cand> saw that the clerk's c ttention was elsewhere. From n open pile of candy she put uveral pieces into a bag already v /eighed out from it. When her > lrn came to buy, she was care- } tl to select her extra filled bag, jr which she paid ten cents.
