A few years ago?say a decade? I, i 1 * there was a theory, widely held in J South Carolina, that the Governor was more or less of a figurehead and c really had very little power. Then : conditions came about as a result of , which, the people learned to the consternation of many of then^that they had 'been badly mistaken when they t accepted this view. It was discovered f that the governor might have very de.; t cided powers in more ways than one; j ^ but especially in advertising the State from the one end of the land to the , other?and not necessarily to its ? profit. j j. Recollection of these things add3 ? point to the satisfaction with which ;South Carolinians are able to read the n handsome things which have been ^ nhr?nt ityiic State's record in the war coupled as they are with tributes ' to the leadership of the present gov- * ernor. In Joe Chappie's National Magazine^for September, for example, one of the most important articles is en- j titled. '"South Carolina's War Gover-, nor/' and two pages are devoted to j g pictures of Governor and Mrs. Man-1 f nng jtnd their six sons in the serv- j ? ice. The text reviews the governor's ; r * JL4.S XT record in puiuag me ciaic a ic?vmvoo j at the service of the government for , | I the prosecution of the war. . We do not believe there is any one j ( who has felt this war more deeply j j than Gorrnor Manning and it must ; j stand to his credit always that from ; j the very 'beginning, when many who j, ^ are now ready to lead the shouting ! ? "were still feeling their way and seek- j < in? to determine the direction of the j, A /vAimrn nw Tile StflTld WiUU, lUC guitjuu: 1.UUIV _ , boldly and unhesitatingly and never j j once has wavered. If. as the National j Magazine remarks, "the spirit of I "South Carolna in the wars of other 2 vears is seemingly being revivified j ( today," Richard I.

And what a remarkable concidence that while some of them lad been in the service since the roops were sent to the (border two 'ears and more ago, yet all of them vere stll in this country, and that lone of them had had the privilege of joing to the front and across the eas. 1 g 11 THE KING'S JESTER. 11 !, It seems to me that I read a Ions: ^ ime ago somewhere in Shakespeare . >r some other good oia dook mat m he good old days of Kings, that there ? vas a very important personage in ( me of his plays known as the King's ; Fester. And that such a person was c ictually a real person. It was his ? i >usiness to amuse' the King and to ^ jive the royal family a pleasant time ; r vhen the burdens of state were heavy ^ tnd hard to bear. He was really a ! j rery important person and an append - j ] ige to be reckoned with in the palaces 1 c >f the kings. That was in the good' < )ld days before we had given democ- t acy to all the world and made the ? vorld safe for democracy. (j ?o? * | ( Well, somehow on Tuesday th?s; j story of the king's jester came to 1 nirid and T felt that in away V was j j icting the part, not that the gentle- j nan with whom I journeyed in the i east made me feel that he was the j < vin?, or arew any uisluh-iiuuc ui t >r anything of the xind. but I just . iould not imagine any other capacity i n which I made the trip that I did. i :bouerh I enjoyed it and feel better for laving made it, and it was altogether ] i very pleasant journey. But I had ibsolutely no business except to go ilong. And when I thought of the I vork T had to do and should do I j ! ? ? l ' i ?uess it made me reel tnat i was reai- i y a joke on the journey. I T had worked very hard on Monday ' tnd was very tired when evening I I ame and retired rather early for me ! *'ith no thought of anything but resuming the daily grind the next mornne;. At 11 o'clock Monday night the i i phone at my residence rang out clear, 1 tnd strange to say that it had for a sveek or more refused to answer or nake a call, and no one naa worKec Dn it. It was rather startling to hear j t. But a friend called to know if T j would make a trip with him the next j morning to Greenville. I agreed, just to get awrav somewhere, and then 11 always like to go to Greenville. But-, when he said he wanted to start at S a. m. I almost balked, but concluded that I would be game, and yet to start; out at that hour did not sound muob ( like rest, and yet on the tneory tnas change is rest I guess it was. He drove up to our gate at 5:30 and we started. We were to 'breakfast i*i i Greenville. With a good heavy car and good roads the trip could easily, be made in three hours. The roads are not good, however, and we drove . into Greenville exactly at 9 o'clock j The Newberry end is genarally very . good, but it has had no application ! of the split losr drag and the holes are j fierce, and the same is true of the j i Laurens end, and even the million j dollar bond roads of Greenville are j a,bout in the same condition, if not a { little more so, on account of the gravel and rocks that were mixed with the FALL our pricei ved this wee st styles. . i nnr 7 ? ?

I have always heid hat it was useless to 'build what we aim permanent roads unless at the ame time some provision were made or maintenance, and the Greenville >ermanent road is a ^ood illustration >f the position. When i was >ver these reads in the early part of he year they were fine, but now they ire eaten in holes and the driving !over hem is difficult. The streets through fountain Inn and Simpsonville have lot improved either. The speed limit s 10 miles the hour, and my friend aid he would try to make it, but in he effort he knocked us about some tt'.e. iPity we could not have a good oad from Newberry to the mountain iity. ?o? ftiy friend drove a Dodge runabout md it does run pretty and he did nc*< change gear from Newberry to Green, rille, which is most as good as 111 ioes. Mr. Friday who drove 111 to Spartanburg said he did not change jear from Newberry to Spartanburg ;nd there are more hills that way. 1 juess he drove with some momentum, -eavins; a5? early as we did of course [ thought we would get back in the jarly afternoon, but after we got out !ome distance I was informed that he meeting my friend was going to tttend did not take place until 4:30 n the afternoon. Just wanted to be )n time I reckon. JBut he went to ittend a very important meiting and le turned the trick he went there to :urn. ?o?

After I was alone it occurred to me that it was a very early hour for lunch, but [ was there. I met Ej Blease and talked with him for an tiour but my friend failed to come. I ivent over to see Dr. J, P. Carlisle \nd had a tooth filled and went back to the hotel, but saw no one I knew. 3o I concluded that my friend had been temporarily lost and that I had setter lunch, which I did. They serve a good lunch at this hotel for 75 cents. My friend, he lunched at the same restaurant at which we had breakfast, so I learned afterward. \ ?o? T had a pleasant half hour with Geo. Koester of the Piedmont. He says they have more than they,can do, and the place has the air of prosperity and the offices are nicely fitted up and it looks like it would 'he a pleasure to work there. I also spent a half hour with 1C0I. Ryon 'McKissick of the Greenville News. He is ex. pecting to join the army soon.
