The State needs sortie real bus mess methods applicd in its tax ation machinery, r'nd rigid econ omy applied in spending the money, and then let the masses spend some time looking after their own private affairs, with out so much agitation by so many opeakers on alleged moral questions and being harrassed to join all kind of organizations. Say what you please, but old Carranza put up a good stiff bluff: But Woodrow Wilson al so knew all the cards in the deck and knew what kind of a hand old man whiskers had, so he called him. - The old buck had to put down his hand to Woodrow,but seems like he took in all the chips belonging to all the Mexiaans by making them come his way of thinking. It seems that candidates for the legislature are slow about , announcing themselves. Per baps they are loathe to tackle the financial condition of the county's affairs, which we un derstand are considerably be hind, with increased expenses becoming necessary. Our nex1 delegation in the general assem bly will have plenty of oppor tunity to exercise their financia knowledge and business judg ment. if the United States does ge in a state of "preparedness, wonder if the people will be hot est enough to place the credi where it really belongs and as sign the honor to old Villa? Tb . presinflent made a lot of prepay edness speeches, the impelin - nspimation of whicn was our cor ~.plcations with Germany, but took Poncho's raid on Columbu to start the movement.

T man who can do this would be statesman, and a benefactor his fellow citizenship of t State. The liquor question now a small issue in tne Stat4 economic affairs. The dispE sary advocates have been vol out, and the prohibitionists ha lttle toltalk about, outsi of a little blindtigerism. Coker College is the n South Carolina institution: the education of women.

SQUIBS AND COMMENTS CONTRIBI B'X A SCRISBLER. And now Japan and Ru have signed a compact, the signed reason being "to V the peace in the East." East usually means China. peace which they are prob. after keeping will be eac piece of China. What a pity it is thaLt we not get both sides of the N a al political campaign doings Southern democratic papers give us the democratic side, we know little of what the publicans are doing. We led to believe that wood row son will be elected, and whi] hope itisitrue. yet it must 12 membered that the Repubi Lhave the most money, and is a very old saying that ix olw h lady horse travel Four years and eight years go the Republicans had the logan "a full dinner pail." In his Democratic administration he factories of the North and he produce makers of the West lave had all they could do, and he laboring man has his bucket ull, if he has been willing to iork. Wonder if he will go back )n the Democratic party this rime? Speaking about the Mexican situation it seems to us that if we had'gotten into war down there it would have been a good thing to have conquered the Mexicans as soon as possible and then scut old W. J. Bryan andi the "big injun" Teddy both over there and say to them, now go it boys, and which ever one can whip the other fellow can be president of the Mexicans. The News and Courier used to get off some really good "contin uous jokes." as for instance. "is a put out a put out," using base ball sernacular. But, its reviva of its last summer's joke aboul the Charleston fihgs carries flavor of humor so mild that i has a slight English taste, an< reminds us of the visit of a1 Englishman to this country, an upon being shown many Ameri can battle fields, finally th Bunker Hill monument wa pointed out to him and he wa told that here was where a note general fell, whereupon th Englishman lifted his eyes ar. surveying the top of the mont ment, replied, "its mighty 'igi did it 'urt 'im." Say what you please, but Du can leaves the "system" som, times long enough to get c some right good things, as fc instance the other day when h said that Manning had been gc ernor of the Asylum and Blea - had been gevernor of the per tentiary. There is no gainsa ing the the fact these two ins t tutions furnished each one of t Excellencies mentioned an a ministration specialty. t -- While the churches in Ame e ca are sending so many thou ands of dollars to China to p missionaries to teach the Chi ese virtuies and religion, wou t~ it seem amiss to also teach th< s something about how to drill a s shoot a rifle, the better to enal a them to defend themselves fri s the Japanese when they come er gobble up pooi old China a r make slaves and serfs of allt celestials by fastening arou their necks for ages to come 1 shackles of ignorance and hea eenism? i The daily papers do not g t us much details about the St t campaign meetings.

Steam Printing. On November 29, 1814, a newspaper for the first time was printed by steam. Although the applisation of steam power to printing machinery bad been ;uccessfully experimented with some years previously, the hos tility of the working printers rendered it inadvisable for the masters to intro duce such a startling innovation into their printing houses. Towards the end of 1814, however, the growing cir culation of the Times made a change of some kind necessary, and in the face of fierce opposition the second John Walters set up a steam printing press. So on the morning of ,Novem ber 29 the leading article of the Times announced to its readers that they held in their hands that day a copy ef the first newspaper to be printed by steam.-London Chronicle.

"The utterly selfish person gets my goat" said a physician's wife. "The man or woman who follows the Golden Rule gets mine," said her husband. The personi who is always treating other people the way he wants to be treated, whether they like the treat ment r not; who insists on entertain ing you in the way he likes to be en tertained; who gives unto others the particular brand of music, conversa tion or cigar he wishes they would ive unto him, and never stops to ~hink how tastes may differ. Aside 1from being a social pest he comes close to classifying as an out nd out political 'undesirable' in the oroadest and strongest sense of the word. To dismiss him glibly as one of he commoner varieties of bore does ot nearly do him justice. A nuisance an be abated or an outlaw can be put In jail or shot.

These '"eyemarks," Doctor Pratt said -only he didn't use that expression often point out a disease before the~ patient himself is aware that ne is ill.

When the history of the present Eu ropean war is written, the forest of Argonne will be ?ecorded as the place where more blood wa~s shed than in any other spot on the wide fields of confit. The French made a stand there on the first German drife to wards Paris, and, later, - when the Germans were forced back, it was the scene of weeks end months of desper ate struggle. Not a bird is left in the forest and practically every tree, which remains standing, bears the mark of battle. It was swept by ai-tllery fire time after time,, anid was the scene of desperate hand-to-hand fighting. But it was not the first time, for in the campaign preceding 'the battle of Sedan, in the Franco-German war of 1870, It was the scene of many san gunary struggles. The forest covers a number of wooded heights, 800 or 900 feet high, in the northeastern part of France in French Lorraine and Champagne. It is about thirty miles long, and from one to eight miles wide. It is bounded by the sources of the Aisne, runs along that river to the Meuse apd northward to Chenepopuleux, separating a stretch of fertile plains from the bars ren steppes between Vitry and Se Old Waterbury Watch Recalled.

"For the love of Mike,' 'exclaimed an ex-puddler, now a broker, who was attracted by the noise a man was making while winding his time piece, "what kind of a turnip have you there anyway?

One day he was passing tirough the stalls, when the propri etor raised ? protesting voice. "Look here, Hiram," said he, "how many times have I told you not toa proach those horses from the rear without speaking to them? One of these days they will be kicking you In the head." "That's all right," was. -the brave rejoinder ofHram. "I am not afraid "Its not all right," sharply rejoined the liveryman.
