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^

instructions that all lights be extinguished
and other precaution
ary measures were taken. Few '
signs of panic were seen during
the raid.

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

Columbia, S. C. Jan. 23? ?
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. There are several bills *
new before the Legislature on e
the subjects of compulsory edu a
IbfffEhi', ptumubti ami c^u-ai
frage.
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.
The "'Oman suffrage bill has a

that it will pass at this session- e
There is now a great fight on v
to repeal the cotton acreage law c
passed at the extra session of ihe 11
legislature. A lot of good points .
have been shown on both sides
and the ultimate fate of the bill v
at present is a question. Will v
write you again next week. c

t Out Of 3 Buyers
4cw York Commercial 1 ;
Ellicolt, N. Y.?
>ersons would rcturn^K^togrS
hat wac Riven to them in cxcSpE
>f their rightful change? ^4m9
A merchant in this little^uljS
itate village interested in htllutMiff
lonesty in small matters hiis:
carried out a test which shbw$jj|
hese results. 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. 'i
