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

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. Enr.

In addition to the applications men
tioned above, large numbers have been
discouraged in applying by the im
possibility of admission due to the
large waiting list. 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
