As we read the correspondence between
Gov. Manning and Mayor Grace
there is more politics in the situation
than an honest desire for the enforcement
of law in Charleston. The influence
of the administration at Columbia
is being thrown against tlie election
of Mr. Grace. We are no admirer
of Mr. Grace, but you must hand it to
him that he is a good letter writer, and
if he just holds Ibis equipoise the effort
from Columbia will prove a boomerang
and be in favor of Grace.
Why should tliere be, just at this
time, such a fearful effort at suppressing
the sale of liquor in Charleston
and nowhere else. Conditions are peculiar
in Charleston and what suits
there would not be suitable to other
sections.
We would like to ask if Gov. Manning
didn't pardon a man oamed Lyon
who &ad been convicted several times
for wife beating and other similar offences,
that he might testify against
Mayor Grace in some contest before
the convention, and if it was not found
that the had been convicted of so many
disqualifying crimes that the governor
overlooked some of tlaem and he could
not testify. And why the papers said
nothing about this pardon, and if it
was recommended by the pardon
board?
The illicit sale of liquor is bad; the
intemperate use of the stuff is worse;
but these are not the only laws that
are being violated in this State, and
Charleston is not the only place where
they are being violated. Then why
center so much energy at this time on
law enforcement in Charleston?
Gov. Manning removed the sheriff of
Kersliaw from office, because he failed,
according to the governor, to close up
a blind tiger. Wonder if he will apply
the same rule to the sheriff of Charles
ton
The Herald and News publishes the
correspondence. It is interesting reading.
It is a great pity that, in this enligfiitei^ed
age, when men and women
are educated, and there are churcnes
and school houses on every hilltop;
that it should be necessary to have so
many thou shalt not laws. It would
seem tfcat we should have reached
that time in the progress of the race
when all of us would be willing to be
governed by the Golden Rule and
govern ourselves accordingly. If we
we would just observe that rule,
"Whatsoever ye would that men do
unto you do ye even so unto them,"
t there would be little use for so many
laws. To put it differently, if in dealing
with our fellows we would always
try to put yourself in the other fellow's
place and then ask tow we would like
to bes treated of positions were excang ed,
we would have a great world. But
selfishness, which is followed by an
inordinate love of money and power,
rules the day.
The law requires that those wfco
drive the public highway should turn
to the right when meeting another vehicle.
A great many drivers of cars
seem to have the idea that that law
or rule means that the other fellow
must turn to the right, even if he
has to go into a ditch to do so, and
ihat the road was meant for them
, And some of these are educated men
' i
who should have regard for the otke\
fellow, and if you don't turn you are
liable to be run into and knocked off.
Then t':.ere should be some regard for
the rate of speed and the law regulates
that, but ic is observed only according
to the whim of the youth who happens
to be at the w&eel. Then, the driver
of a car should also remember that
even the man on foot and the man on
horseback and the man in a buggy
or wagon has some sort of right to
the use of the (highway. And yet there
are some who drive cars Who seem to
have an idea?if such a thing is possible?that
all they have to do is to toot
the ihorn and every one must get out of
che way, "for I am coming." Suppose

and not make it necessary to Save an

THE PARK.
For ten years or more The Herald
and News has been in season and out
?
advocating and dreaming of a park
for Newberry. From what we can
gather from Mr. F. R. Hunter and the
! members of the Civic association, ar
| rangements are under way by which
a park will be assured for Newberry.
We are glad to note this fact, and by
! another issue of the paper we hope to
be able to state absolutely that work
j has begun on the building of the park,
j Option has been secured on the land
and money sumcient secured to start
'the work and opeD the park this sum!

The sad deatfn of young Miss Suber
from an automobile accident, without

should be a warning to all drivers of
cars to be extremely careful. Her untimely
death brings sadness and sorj
row to many homes and cuts off a

bloom of its girlhood. It will necessarily
cast a shadow of sadness over
the life of the young man who was
'driving the car, even though he may
feel that tfae accident was entirely unavoidable.

A Simpit Method by , Which All Danger
May Be Avoided.
Drs. Loir and Legagneux of Paris
tested vinegar as a destroyer of the
germs of typhoid fever. That they are
killed by n mixture of wine and water
in equal parts has long been known.
These investigators prove now that)
twenty grams of vinegar to a liter oi
water kill the typhoid bacillus In anj
hour and live minutes.
"From this," writes the Paris correspondent
of the London Lancet, "a
practical inference may be drawn concerning
salads. After washing the salad
as usual, detaching each leaf, it
should be put into water acidulated
with ten grams of vinegar to the liter
and remain immersed in this liquid for
about an hour and a quarter. All vegetables
ordinarily eaten uncooked may
be subjected without any inconvenience
to the same process."
A liter is equivalent to about a quart
and ten grams are equivalent to about
a third of an ounce. So if lettuce or
other greens for salad be placed in
water to which about one-third of an
ounce of vinegar has been added and
be left for about an hour and a quarter
all danger of typhoid fever will be
removed.
The Centipede. ;
The centipede was formerly a resident
of the southern part of this country,
but it has gradually worked its
way to the north, so that now it is
quite common in nearly every portion
of the country. It thrives best in
damp and warm places and has its redeeming
feature in that it catches and

we are well rid of. Its method of
catching an insect seems to be to spring
over it. inclosing and caging it with
its many legs. The belief occasionally
met with that the centipede feeds on
household goods and woolens or other
clothing is without foundation. Od
the other hand, the bite of this creature
is undoubtedly more or less poisonous,
the effect depending on the

SUBMERGING A SUBMARINE.
It lakes Mve minutes ror me Desx o?
Them to Get Under.
Submarines are not easy to handle
and it takes considerable skill and
daring to navigate them successfully.
Many people have the idea that as soon (
as a submarine sees an enemy, the
officer in command gives a sharp order. I
- ? ' i? - ? t: ?.. I
ana almost uerore it uas leu uis ups
the submarine is diving beneath the
wavea
As a matter of fact the very latest
submarines take a clear five minutes
before they can become submerged.
Many of the older submarines took ten
minutes to a quarter of an bour to
sink.
The reason that submarine cannot
dive quickly, like a fish, is because the
water which must be let into her tanks
to make her heavy enough to sink.
must be let in comparatively slowly
If ic were let in with a rush the |
chances are the vessel would not go I
down 011 an even keel, but would heel
over and be in great danger of dis- s
aster. If water, too. were lot in too ?
quickly there is a danger of letting in I
too much and in that case the sub- j
marine would sink like a stone to the ! .
bottom of the sea.
The depth at which a submarine t
travels under the sea is regulated by
horizontal rudders. The water that is
let in the ballast tanks is just suffi- {
c-ient to "balance" the vessel in the ,
sea without rising or sinking.?London
