Senator Smith r concentrated his e Torts in behalf of Mr. Weston for the district attorney- ! ship and, it appear?, remained passive as regards the marhalship.

Mr. Herbert Wink, of North Augusta. has successfully tested a monoplane of his own make and design, and making flights near North Augusta recently has demonstrated, to himself at least, that it is a success. , ? - * a"U ~ ~ : Having put tne macnine logeiuei, Mr. Wink took it apart yesterday j preparatory to shipping it to Newberry, S.

I I i News and Courier. i On October 2 the Jewish people will ; enter on their 5,674th year. On that j riatp nronrs Rosh Hashonah. the Xew Year, one of the holiest days in the Jewish ritual, and with it begins the long list of Jewish fast and feast days, j extending through to the beginnirg of, summer. According to the ancient calendar, this will be the twelfth year 1 of the 299th lunar cycle of nineteen ; years, and the eighteenth year of the ! 203rd lunar cycle of twenty-eight years since the Creation. Already calendars and almanacs for tae New Tear are being distributed. Rosh Hashonah occurs this year three weeks later than last, when it , came on September 12. This is very , early and October 2 is more nearly the normal date. Last year, however, was a Leap Year, and, accordingly, there were thirteen lunar months in the Jewish calendar for the year, causing much variance in dates. The names of the Hebrew months, in their order, nearly always overlapping the Gregor ian months, are 'lisnn lutrgmuuis , with Rosh Hashonah,) Heshvan or Marchesvan, Kislev or Chisley, Tebeth, \ Shebat, Adar, Nisan, Iyar, Sivan, Tamuz and Ab. In a leap year the extra month is called 2d Adar. Day of Atonement. vr:?^ after Rnsh Hashonah. on ! l^IUC LttlJ O axvva October 11, comes Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest of all the year, which the Jew dedicates to | fasting.and prayer. It is a day of, mortification of the flesh and of penitance with the reward accompanying of absolution and expiation. The very name, Yom Kippur, signifies Holy Dav. It is a fast of the greatest an tiquitv, the oldest fast day that survives anywhere and full and fairly frequent mentions of it are found in the Pentate'uch. It is the culmination of the Jewish expiatory ceremonial and ! the ultimate expression of Israel's re- j ligion. The Feast of Tabernacles occurs I this year on October 16. This is the j harvest feast. Its origin is lost in the j mazes of antiquity and it was an an- j r:?nt feast when the five books of j Moses were written. It is said that in j Biblical days this was the greatest of j all the feasts. It is termed tne Feast of Booths, because at that period of the year the fruits were gathered and the harvest booths were raised. Originally the celebration of this festival was marked by a bacchanalian character. It retains much of the joyful spirit 01 rno oiueu u'ik-s, j but many of the ceremonies and rit- j uals of the past have been discard-; ed. The festival lasts eight days. T:e. PEOPLE WILL RESN. ATTEMPTED DICTATION !< SOYEltfOR BLEASE SAYS HiS! CHARGES HAVE BEEN I'ROVEl). j( I Comments on Reason Assigned For ( Selection of Mr. Weston As District Attorney. ( > Special to The Herald and News. Columbia, Sept. 22.?When asked as to the Federal appointment^ for South j Carolina announced in the newspa- |, peh> on Sunday morning, Governor j < Blease said taat lie had absolutely | v..?tViinor tn "Rut " hp sairi. "I seel' IXUbUXU^ cv/ UUJ . vj -- w , ? , a sentence in the News and Courier j which pleases me very much. It is I, that "one of the reasons for the selec-1 tion of Mr. Weston was to show in- J directly that the administration would j favor the re-election of Senator Smith, j who goes before the voters of South Carolina in the primary next August." This goes to prove, beyond sha- j dow of a doubt, what I have been , charging from the s^ump all over the ' State, that nobody can. get anything I in South Carolina, under the present administration, unless they are willing to help defeat Blease for the senate, even if they have to sell their political principle to do so, and must have the 0. K. of the Cuban general. However, the white people of South Carolina have never yet been driven by a national administration, nbr have t'hey ever sold out for public pap. So. instead of this helping Senator Smith, you will see that it will be very much to his detriment. I will beat him easier now than I would have beaten him before. I had him beat already 20,00a votes, and this will make my friends that much the stronger for me, and^ will add thousands of votes to me/' T eighth day is called Shmini Azereth and the Feast of Conclusion and has a ceremonial of its own. Feast of Kanukah. 1 The feast' of Hanukah, a joyful oc- | ' a' ? -r\ ! casiDn, Degins mis year on uet-tjuion | 24 and continues eight days. It is in J commemoration of the rededication of j the Temple, and was ordained in 165 > B. 0., by .Judas Maccabacus, the greatest of .a great family. The heroic Maccabees are always honored in this festival. It is the occasion for the exchange of gifts among friends and has many pleasant features. Following Hanukah there is no important festival until Purim, occurring next year on March 12. The Fast of Esther precedes this by thr,ee days. The story of Purim is probably better known to the non-Jewish world than that of any other Jewish holiday, with the exception of the Passover. It is in commemoration of the deliverance of the Jews by Queen Esther from Ha- j _ ralatorl in thp I man.s piui, uraiuau^'Mij ?... ? Book of Esther. At Purim there is generally a celebration of some sort in Jewish Sunday schools, generally in the. form of a Purim play, in which the children assume the characters of the ancient story. Commemorates the Plague. Most interesting, most complex in ritual, and most significant of all the occasions in the Jewish calendar, is Pesacn, or Passover, falling next year on April 11. It commemorates the day on which Jehovah visited upon Pharaoh. the tenth and greatest plague, slaying the first born of the Egyp i tians ana passing over tue manvcu dwellings of Israel. It is the feast of unleavened bread and for a week the Jews eat no other sort of bread. This commemorates the unleavened bread which the fleeing Israelites were obliged to content themselves with bp cause t'heir haste allowed no time ior | better bread-making. There are num.- ! erous pleasant ceremonies connected with this festival. It is also thp srreat home-coming time and it is the time when Jewish hospitality flows most freely, many poor jews in stranrre nlaces being welcomed to the Pesach board and treated with honor. Pentecost, the Feast of Weeks, falls next year on May 31. This is said to j have marked the end of the seven j weeks of the wheat harvest which be- I gan at Passover. Tins is simpiy a | 0f gladness at the goodness of God. These are the important holidays. P"t for the orthodox Jews there are numerous otliers tnrougnoiu me v;-n.

In my recent interview I. said ' 'I hoped the judges would adopt this I plan and it would solve this convict j question. I am pleased that Judge 1 Shipp is getting in line, and I hope the other judges will do likewise. "In fact, Section 104. Volume 2 of the Code, provides: 'That in every case j in which imprisonment is provided for any crime all able-bodied male con- 1 victs shall be sentenced to hard labor j on the public works of the county! without regard to the length of sen-1 tence.' "This ?pt was amended at the session of 1912, page 554, by taking out the county of Clarendon from the > exceptions, and that act now applies to every county in South Carolina, ex cept the county of Greenville. Why it is excepted, I do not know. Therefore, if the judge? will all follow the plain written and printed law as laid [ down in these two sections, convicts in the future will be placed on the J, public works of tne county, provided i the county wants them, without any j friction on the part of the board of j directors or anybody else, and as this act provides that the judges 'shall' I j i presume they will. , Difference in Judges.

'The hands will not bejeased to anybody, but will be under the- absolute, direct control of the board of directors themselves.
