ASPHALT SHINGLES Make* a Better Roof for Leu Cost. f V Mackey Mercantile Comply LKFT HANDED PBOPLK. Many Kxaraplea of Succmm Achieved By Southpaws. The Biblical admonition, "let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth," may explain why there are comparatively few left-handed men and women. The lack may, be ! due Himply to ignorance on the part of the left hand. On the other hand, which is the right though tbo attention be still riveted on the left? it is true that left handed men have played a noteworthy role in the history of the world. It is said that Father Adam was left-handed. Strangely enough Eve was rights always. And women havo prided themselves on being right ever since, even when they were left. EvoJ carried Cain and Abel, most often, in the crook of her left arm. Consequent ly, sho had to protect herself and do her washing and hanging with her right hand. ?" Cain and Abel were both right handed,. Cain soaked Abel over the back of the neck with a right-handed club and of Abel had been a south paw, the end of that first row might havo been different. Unfortunately, however, Eve taught them both to guard with the loft and strike with the right. She had all the rearing to do, while Adam stayed out naming the animals. And so down through the ages, in most cases, the left hand has been the guard hand and the right the fighting one. As a consequence you find right handed men doing the most unac countable things with their left hands. A man with a poker eye in this city shuffles and serves cards left-hand wise. He drinks with his right. Most women hold babies with their left arms. 'Many housewives, nomi nally right handed, pour coffee With] their left hand, and quite generally use left-handed pots and pans. A merchant of political learning in the city, whef is right handed, smokes with his left hand, and hammers with it, too ? spoiling now and again his right-hand thumb. His son .yawns behind his left hand and uses a left handed handkerchief, and indulges in left-handed compliments. ??But .these ladies and gentlemen afe in a sense sports. The najturally left handed person has made his indellible mark in the world. Would there be left-handed monkey wrenches if there weren't sufficient left-handed men to warrani the manufacture of them? The answer is "No" Look at history. Charles I of Eng land was .a left-handed man. He ?southpawed his ivory and gold walk ing stick. Leonardo da Vinci was a southpaw, and no one denies he threw a mean brush. Marshal Foch is a leftie, and Charlie Chaplin, and Babe Ruth, and Sir James Mathew Barrie, and Tris Speaker, and Norman Davis artd Lindley Murray and Dwight Da vis, the tennis players are, all strictly lefthanded. ? ? ? ? Down "through history run these southerly armed immortals. Doctors warn parents never to attempt to de velop left-handed children into right* handed ones. It makes them stam mer. Arid besides, who wouldn't like to be left-handed sometimes especially when one's car is a left-hand drive and the girl beside one is fair, and the night is clear and the, moon is?Well, who wouldn't?-; ? Philadelphia Evening Ledger. Regarding Income Tax. Columbia, Jan. 19. ? Major John F. Jones, Collector of Internal Revenue for South Carolina, has issued the fol lowing statement: That in keeping with the desire and policy of the Internal Revenue De partment to give the taxpayers all the information and aid possible, he de sired to call attention to one item, that from the experience of nis office, appeared to be the most misUnder stood, and that was the necessity for filing returns by married persons whose income was between $2,000 and *2,500. , All married persons, whose combin ed income of husband and wife equat ed or exceeded $2,000 are required by law to file returns, although they have an exemption of $2,500 where the in come is less than $5,000. Collector Jones stated that many married persons having an income of $2,000 or more but less than $2,500, knowing that they had an exemption of $2,500, and therefore 'no tax to pay, thought it unnecessary to file a re turn and later when checked up by the field force, incurred the penalties for failure to file return. He hoped by this advice to save many such fu-^ ture costs and embarassments. Major Jones also called attention to the necessity for Aling returns where the gross income equalled or exceed ed $5,000, ^regardless of the amount of the net income or even in cases where there was a loss. This applied to single persons and to the com bined income of married persons. Therefore, when in doubt, file the re kwm: MANY APPLICANTS On Waiting List of State Training School For Feeble Minded. (By Wra. P. Jacobs.) That tho Stat*- Training School, lo cuted at Clinton, is rendering a re markable service for the feeble minded in South Carolina will be read ily appreciated when the list of enroll ments by counties is considered. The list of enrollments and landing ap plications not only gives a gratifying iika of the K^'wral far-reaching qjtc fects of the institution, as it touches every nook and corner of the State, but it likewise presents an appealing picture of the still gr#uter opportune ties of sorvice, that will be possible with an increased capacity. The enormity of the field can very readily be appreciated when figures are con sidered. Gov. Thomas G. Mcl/eod, in addressing the legislature, estimated conservatively that there are today in our stoic, At least 24100 feeble minded children who should be in the Train ing School of our State. The present enrollment of the institution, limited only by the equipment is only 216. An excellent beginning, but oh, what a great opportunity and what a tre mendous field yet uncared for. The list below does not give a sufficiently adequate picture, for no county is ex empt from the need of the service of such an institution. There are hun dreds, of feeble minded in every coun ty. The following is a list of applica tions and present enrollment by coun Appli. Pres.

Applications are accepted in sequence of receipt and in consideration of the needs and fitness of the case. The enrollment includes white males and females* The appropriation recently request ed of the legislature by the authori ties would take care of the present waiting list, and would be a great blessing to South Carolina. It is safe to believe, however, that another and probably a still larger waiting list would immediately form as soon as the present one is taken care of. - One interesting feature of the work at the school is the colonization of differing types. Such a system in volving the placing of a few children of similar types in colonies under cap able care and separating them from the main body has enabled the insti tution with a very small equipment to care for an astonishingly large number Comparatively. Colonization has furthermore made possible a close homelike atmosphere that is impossi ble to such an extent in a large gener al dormitory- Not all of the children show improvement, in spite of vigor ous, patient teaching under normal conditions. With such a limited equipment, however, the children of differing types and grades in improve ment must necessarily intermingle, ] much to the detriment of those of the higher grades. Such children are easily lead, easily influenced. The lower grades are constantly a dis tributing elementt making progress witl^ the higher grades exceedingly slow and difficult. 'A larger enroll ment and a larger equipment permit ting the separation, segregation and colonisation of the differing grades will mean moch In increasing the effi ciency of the School. is now in a meager W*y being" attempted at tha Institu tion, moch hampered by the lack of] better way. . Even in fts embryonic aUt?, the results of the project can be easily observed and a true picture of the future possibilities of this plan i* portrayed by the work that has been accomplished without any appropria tion for the purpose. Those persons who are practically beyond school age and those who are physically well but incapable of profiting by - regular school instruction are permittod to enjoy the wholesome effects of colony life where efforts to en#*!?" in live stock raising, farming, improving lands, etc,* are already begun. The lack of buildings ami equipment have held South Carolina back in this im portant work. It stands to reason to all progressive, big hearted, true South Carolinians that it cannot, it must not, It will not do so indefinite ly. > . ' ' Good Opening For Young Men. Congressman W.
