Watch Xewber-' ry. We are going to have one snon. What is the bark committee doing? j Don't wait for the "psychological mo- j ment." Make it. Remember the fel- \ low who was always waiting for some- j thing to turn up.

In old (lays it was an argument in favor of dancing to say that two hours' dance was equal to five miles walk- \ ing. Now one evening's tangoing is ejual to climbing one hundred trees.? Spartanburg Journal. If mat be true the tango should be encouraged in this age of encouraging j a:hletic sports. To climb one hundred j trees an evening would be taking some , 11 physical exercise. Everywhere in life the true estimate f character is not what you gain and . ? accumulate, but what you do, what ( you add to rhe welfare of the com- . nunity.?Spartanburg Jurnal. j That is a correct statement and should be th!e estimate, but many < times it falls for short in this day. i The world judges your success and 1 your character largely by what you < accumulate. < If the ">A. B. C." mediators should < bring peace and settled conditions in ^ Mexico, they will have accomplished j a great work. Every loyal American \ i will hope that the policy of the administration through the whole mat- j ^ ter has been for the best. Deep dowii i i < in our hearts, however, some of us i must confess to ourselves that we be- j ] lieve that a little more decided policy j i in fhe beginning would have been; < productive of better results. ! ^ ?? * Burns, the star detective, seems to J have met with trouble in Frank-Fagnn case in Atlanta. The solicitor made it pretty hot for him in cross examina- j ' tion and Burns admitted that he had ' been much hiqdered in his i.ivesti- 1 gation of the case.?Spartanburg 1 Journal. It has not been so many suns since ' some people over this way and Spar cani/U'g ?<xy were pruuiaiiiiing wnat , a great agency the Burns Detective < Agency was. To say he was "much | '< hindered" is probably the most chari- : table- construction. I THE PRIMARY. ! The coun:y conventions are over, < and the next move on the political I1 checker board will be the State con-! vention on the 20th of this month. 'J The result or :he county conven-; ^ tions has not been a. surprise to those ; j who have watched affairs political in ^ this State. Two vpars asri thprp u-aq i a determined effort, which was sue- j cessful, on the part -of those who j were in the minority so far as the pri- i ( inary vote was concerned, to secure j control of the county conventions, and; thereby to gain control of the State convention and of the party machin-1 ( ery. A similar effort this year seems ! ( to have met with success. j1 There will, of course, be an effort j* in the State convention to place re( strictions around the primary. It is: 11 naraiy probable, however, that the j State convention will interfere with J ] the present primary rules. All of us < are in favor of an honest vote and an I * i < honest count. We are all against cor ] ruption, and bribery and repeating. . Some Democrats, however, want to ( place restrictions around :he primary 1 which will exclude white men from;c ' j participating in the white man's pri- : mary and casting their ballots for the ; ? men of their choice. We do not be- U lieve this will be done. Certainly 12 i there could be no more effective way \ of destroying the primary. We have stringent laws on our | statute books now to safeguard pri- j mary and other elections in this b ate. These laws ought to be rigidly enforced. If an attempt is made to corrupt a voter, that attempt ought to be severely punished, and if there is any j o.her violation of the statctes it ought j to be punished. Bui the white citizens j of this State should have the right to j ^4- /-N r? ATT O T* A A r? IT' A vuic, ? uicj iiu? nave, anu v> c, I believe tney are going to continue to j have it. One of the newspapers which is so : insistent upon having the primary re-' srricted says that "under the existingj primary rules, a fair primary can not be had." "We have not so low an op-! inion of the people of South aCro- i lina. Of course there are going to be ! attempts to violate any rules or any | laws relating to elections, as in oth- j ers matters. But laws can be made | which will protect white men in their | right to vote without taking away from 1 them that right. And we have such ; laws in this State now. ? WHY STARS SHOOT i Meteors Falling Toward Sun are Btirn-; ed by Earth's Friction. Each so-called shooting star is' merely a cold little meteor which is moving around the sun in its own path ! just as the immensely larger comet j and planets are doing, says St. Xich-1 olas. On the average these particles are moving about 26 miles a second when' they are at the distance 2'icm ihe sun j tuat the ear.t is, and flie earth y, [ self is moving 18 1-2 miles a. second the bodies are sure to collid? with a hicrVt irolrirnrv t4*0 *WWWV^. If the earth runs into the particle in ! such a way as to overtake it, it will, I strike out air with a speed of only ibout eight miles a second; if They meet "head on," so to speak, they may' :ome together wirh a speed of 44 miles i second. In either case, the friction of the air 1 Dn the cold particle, as this plows 1 :hrough the air, instantly heats ir. up 1 to a heat so great that it is vaporized and appears *o us as a shooting star, j The reason why liitle meteoric particles are moving so vefy swiftly in ' :he first place is simply-because they! ire falling toward the sun. If you could carry a stone many mil- i lions -of miles away from the ea*rth and j :here let it drop, it would begin to fail j :oward the earth very slowly, but as it i [ell it would continually move faster j md faster, until when it finally struck ; :he ear:h it would be moving no less j :han seven miles in each second. In exactly the same way each of the ; litle meeoric particles away off in! space began long ago to feel the pull.j Dr "gravitation' of our ^ua ana to faU :oward thai body. If the meteorite and the sun had j boih been at rest at first, the meteorite j would have simply fallen into our i sun; but as our sun is moving through space at the rate of 11 miles in each second the meteorite will not hit it ex- ^ ictly, but will miss it and begin to : swing around it in a curved uath. As the sun is so much larger than 1 he earth, its pull is very much greater. If you could visit the sun, you, tvould find when there that you weigh- ' id more than 27 times as much as you . tveigh on the earth. This great pull -of the sun on eacii j side of the meteorites makes them fall irery swiftly, indeed; it is because the' pull is so strong that when they have :allen toward the sun to the place ; yheer the earth is we find them mov- ' ng 26 miles in a single second. U. S. GREATEST OIL PRODUCER j1 il California's Outpnt Alone Was 100,' 000,000 Barrels Lajjt Year. !{ : Once more the twelve months' pro s ( ?ress may be reviewed in comparative . ietail without referring more than1 jasually to fields other than those!. which have claimed the principal ai:ention for several years pas:, says the London Times. The United States easily maintains its pre-eminent position as producer. The producer of ^ approximately 30,000.^0u metric tons represents 63 per cent of the world's output. The increase during the past . rear has been of very moderate dimen- j sions. California, which otherwise is \ nost favorably situated to contribute | < o the increase, is hampered by the < iifficulty of reaching outside markets.; j impatiently it is awaiting the opening! )f the Panama canal to pour its accu- j < nulated stocks of 50,000,000 barrels! ( md its immense reserves which are' i >:ill underground into eastern markets jut already the highest authorities-; ire foreshadowing the time when the 11 i stream of oil through the pipe lines will be reversed to meet the requirement of the Pacific coast. Last year's California output is estimated at nearly 100,000,000 barrels, an increase of 10 per cent. The importance attached to this field may be gauged from the anxiety of the Royal Dutch-Shell Transport group to ob tain :i footing where ;he Standard Oil company has hi herto reigned supreme. Other additions to ;he output of the Uni.ed States are expected from :he midcontinental fields of Oklahoma and Kansas, only the fringes of which have as yet been tapped. Indeed, every single producing district on the comment may be said to be increasii^g its 'Output.

WORLD'S EM) BY FIRE. Scientist Tells Results When Sea's Bottom Gives >Yav. When the bottoih of the sea gives way from some future volcanic dis turbance the whole earch will be consumed in flames, just as other worlds every day are being consumed, according to Louis Radourdin, the French scientist. Recent volcanic disturbances lead this scientist o believe that such a rime is not far distant. The earth's crust is very thin at the bottom of the sea, he says, and toe adds that the floor on which we srand is more frail than we are led to believe. Mr. Rabourdin imagines a disaster i'i so great as to involve the whole earth. If such a a event should occur he thinks that from a distant world its appearance and progress would exactly parallel what we 'ourselves see in the case of the "novea," or distant i."U ~ "U .1. slcus, luiiL uiaztj uui iu me iiedvcus from time to time. Mr. Rabourdin says: "Suppose that following upon an extraordinary twisting movement, due to retreat, of the central mass, a large mass of the sea bottom should give, and, falling suddenly, should let in the mass of the ocean's waters upon the incandescent interior matter. The water-would be decomposed Dy me neai, tne nyarogen would burn and it would burn more as it had access to more oxygen. The conflagration would thus gfip gradually in force, accompanied $>$ electric phenomena, and the greater part of the earth's crus:, would probably be displaced. (The earth, passing through a critical epoch and returning for the time being to its formative period, would again be no.hing but a globe of fire. "For the far-off worlds that swing in sidereal space this would be the phenomenon of a new star that blazes out all at once, increases in brilliancy as if it would eclipse the luminous splendor of all its neighbors, and then becomes feebler and feebler, to disappear finally forever in ihe prclound darkness of the limitless distance."

Later on, i \vh?n the white people settled in the' territory, their struggle with the red ! men was more bitter and persistent i than in almost any other section of i the continent; hence the sanguinary' name fhat was given to the territory, \ 'The Dark and Bloody Ground."
