"It and its principles, at the end ol two years, will be stronger in m* hearts of the people than ever before and the people themselves will real ize more than ever the need of the ap plication of these principles in SoutI Carolina. They will realize that fac just as they realized it in 1890, if no more so. "Therefore, instead of -being dis heartened, we should be encouraged.' These statements by former Gov ernor Cole L. Blease, leader of thi Reform faction of the Democratic party of South Carolina, feature ai address to the voters of South Car qlina issued by him today, which as follows: To the Democratic voters of SoutI Carolina: The campaign of 19"?8, in South.

The age limit has bee changed so that it now includes tlios fr<M 18 to 45. I want the people c ^t&VHtefrious counties to pay particula avttenti6h to the men between thos and see who of those who hav v -jf <Jping the talking will take u *> arms for the freedom and liberty c and see how many of the iet up flimsy and even false excuse l to keen from getting into the trenche of Franqp. or to keep their 'bovs fro; > going, and let's see, when it is ove. * who were the real lovers of thei ^ efratitr^those who charged other with "disloyalty" and themselve 4* stayed 'oilt of the fight, or those wh were charged with "disloyalty," wh went in and fought. To my friends I wish to express cii; most sincere thanks and to say to i them that I do not believe any oian who has even been upon this earth i has had truer or more devoted friend? than I have had ?nd now have, and I ' believe that every man who in this 5 election cast his ballot for me is .my , personal friend. I am proud of the - conviction which I have that no other - man in South Carolina, as I belief 1 this election has proved, has so man? t true and devoted and loyal supporters t and I know that every one of them i= true to his nation, his state, his partj ? j <1/.^ - cAilU 11X9 UUU.

For those who went into a convention and indorsed me, and who later. 3 for some reason to them well known, . deserted their party, I have but the j sincerest pity?and certainly no ccn j tempt. Aeitner would i, unaer any t condtions, if I had the opportunity, seek revenge, for I have read and had instilled into my mind and heart, "Vengeance is Mine, sayeth the Lord." i Under no state of circumstances , would I seek to trespass upon Hoi?

My " friends will always find a warm re ception at either place. * If the 40,000 voters who did not rec. ord their votes, or who, if they did record them, had them misplaced, had * cast their ballots, and their ballots * had been properly counted, I would be me nominee or tne uennocraue | I.arty today; for every man with good common sense knows that everv vote against me was polled, and those who ' did not vote, I am satisfied, for sam? reason, felt that was best for them > to refrain from voting and that the>' were men who would have voted for the Reform party and its candidates ; I shall back the president and his administration with my full power I and vigor until a successful conclus ion of this war, and I say now to him who has been nominated for the sen ate, that if it becomes necessary, if ? he will volunteer and raise a regiment > among liis friends, that I will volun^ teer and raise a regiment, each of us , marching into the trenches of France , fighting for a God-fearing and a Godloving people. r In conclusion J want to say that tn<= - Reform party owes much to tint , matchless leader, John G.

HUNGRY VIENNA IS BEGGING FOR FOOD Austria Duped by Germany as to Ukrainian Stores, Is Cry of People. I ' Starvation reigns in Vienna, according to a press telegram from Budapest, where Mayor Body convoked the municipal food commission and asked . it to send food to Vienna. The mavor r also published an appeal in which he asked the people of Budapest to renounce one day's ration a week for two months. If this was done 50 c-ar' loads of grain could be sent to Vienna, : the mayor adds. The German press charges Count Czernin and the Austrian press with creating an optimism as to food condi. tions for which there was no foundation in fact. Vienna had hoped to get vast quantities of flour from the UKxume udu none came, ^zerniu is accused of overstating the possible results of the Ukrainian agreement. It seems Czernin tried to lull the people into contentedness by telling them huge supplies would be on the way from the Ukraine in the near future. When these promise's could not be fulfilled the bread ration had to ' be halved in Vienna. Germany, too, had to reduce its daily bread ration. At the same time Germany did send , some grain to Vienna. Bavaria sent trains of grain to the Tyrol. At the same > time Austrian newspapers were charging Germany with having scooped the 1 Ukrainian stores, although it had ' promised they would be preserved for Austria.

"' ' ; . - - - - * J FRENCH GO BACK TO CANDLES Scarcity of Materials Used for Lighting Has Led to Revival of an Ancient Art. While the war has wrecked some industries in France, it has at the same time created new ones and revived older crafts. An excellent and interesting example of the latter is the art of candlestick making, which has taken on a new lease of life. Even in some of the big towns there are houses which are not supplied with gas, where before the war petroleum or spirit was used for lighting purposes. Now that the use of these is restricted closely, recourse Ms to be made to the oldfashioned candle. This is true in the country especially where candlesticks are in great demand, and every one is buying .them according to his means or fancy. At first they were made of copper, but when that metal became scarce brass was employed. Some of the modern examples have several branches and are very artistic. A domestic art metal morker at Aix, who has specialized in this kind of work, and has become quite a celebrity, has. just constructed a series of tall iron candlesticks of very solid proportions which can hold several candles. They have been critically inspected by art metal critics and are claimed to be true works of art, and to appeal to all lovers of ironwork.?Scientific American. LONG FAMOUS IN HIST0W Vicissitudes of Old City of Jerusalem May Be Said to Be Without a Parallel. The capture of Jerusalem by English troops recalls the tragic and fascinating story of that day, which carries us back through the mist ages to the days when th* throne of David was established within its walls. From that date we pass to the glories of the temple built by Solomon, which for centuries was to stand as the center 'and pivot of the Jewish nation and faith. The time came, however, when her days were nmbered, and the drama of Calvary was followed a few years later by the onslaught of Titus, the Roman emperor, who encompassed the rnur rl rm cirlo anrl 1 ovc.1 ocl xvnuv.i uu v- * J u?uv uuu ^'viv,u it to the ground. Round its ruiiied walls Saracen and Crusader were to fight continuously for its possession, and Christian knights flocked from all lands to the rescue of the holy places, until in 1099 Godfrey de Bouillon defeated his enemies and was chosen as the first Christian king of Jerusalem. Following this, for a considerable period the city remained in Christian hnnrls until in 1fV17 it was pflntnrpd hv the Turks. Strain of Flying. Aero-neurosis is the name which is sometimes given to nervous troubles brought about by the strain of flying. It has been said that an air ?- 11-C- :nnAiln IlitlU S iULt: uuusi&lo ui mug oycuo vi intense fear." He has to endure Intense cold, rain, wind, and fog, the nerve-racking noise of the engine, the anti-aircraft fire, and to loop, spin, dive, or sideslip, apparently out of control, to deceive an opponent. An interesting nerve test has been devised in France for selecting the best type of airmen for fighting. Around his chest is a pneumograph, in his left hand a trembler, and around two fingers of his right hand a pneumatic "doigtier." Behind the candidate a revolver shot is fired or a magnesium flare is set off, and a record of the ef feet on his nerves is obtained by means of stylets writing on a blackened re volving cylinder. I One of Uncle Sam's Boys. ! Although he had twice been unable to make his way through a steamfilled compartment, Walter D. McLea, a chief machinist's mate, national naval volunteers, United States navy, made a third go at it, and with suc, cess. In doing this he prevented a i much more serious accident, and for j his valor has been commended by the secretary of the navy. The engine room had been filled with live steam when the breaking of the tiller carried away the exhaust lines of the steering engine. At the first alarm McLea : irieu iu emei me cumpuruueui wucic j the steam was escaping, but it was i not until he had made three trips ; down the ladder that he was successful in stopping the flow.

Well, girls, you will soon be wearing your own art gallery. Painted lingerie is coming, and who knows but what you will have a birdseye view of the Steel city, with its mills in full blast, running around the bottom of your skirt?

LINKS ITALY AND AMERICA Newly Installed Wireless Telegraphy Plant Is the Most Powerful That Has Yet Been Built. The announcement that Italy and the United States have recently been connected by wireless telegraphy deserves more notice than it has received. This achievement probably makes a back number of the frrent n'imlocc et'ifinn at Vfllion npfir Rpr r* 11 V1VOO CltliiVU Ui b -k. < IA V?V*M UVV.. ?' ? lin, which has been so useful to Germany and which, when the war broke out, claimed toj.be the most powerful in the world, with an effective range of between 5,000 and 6,000 miles. From the nearest point in Italy to the United States transatlantic station at Arlington, near Washington, is not less than 6,200 miles, and to send an intelligible message across that distance might be more than even Nauen could accomDlish. Owing to the hostility between the ether waves which carry wireless messages and sunshine, It is always easier to send messages long distances in northerly latitudes than in those more South, and the power required to cover a given distance increases with nearness to the equator. The wireless route between Rome and Arlington is for a good part of the way at least 800 miles nearer the equator than that between Nauen and the United States, which fact considerably adds to the achievement of the Italian and American expertk?London Chronicle. Women as Aviators. "Out of a thousand women who want to fly," says C. G. Gray. London aviation expert, "you might find one who has tbo right kind of nerve for flying. A great many women learned to fly before the war, but I never came across more than one who could really fly. She was a very exceptional woman altogether. In the United States Ruth Law was the first woman to fly from Chicago to New York. She came of an acrobatic family. Katherine Stinson, another American girl, nearly completed the same feat recently. But for one woman of this type you have thousands hysterically anxious to fly, and they would only break their necks as well as government property and be a general nuisance." Airplane Mall Popular. An average of 1,000 packets of mall are now being carried regularly every day between Vienna and Kiev by airplane. The distance between the two cities is 750 miles and the claim is made that this is the longest route now being operated in any part of the world. The trip takes from ten to twelve hours, compared to forty hours by train. It is made in four stages, the intermediate stops being Cracow, Lemberg and Proskurow. Blew Up the Family Wash.
