Hi; careful about little things. Sig m u rid Iiriotlwirt, called the strongest man in (iermAny, bunt iron bars} with his hand*, tore horhe shoes apart, held t wo horses -pulling against oaCh other. He scratched himself with his nail, blood poison developed ? he's dead! Germs too small to be seen with a microscope are stronger than any man. Such germs are usually o?i the hands. Dean Inge, eminently respectable clergyman at the head of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, favors birth control. He says "Limit free educa tion to not more than three children, from any one family." He believes parents will limit the number of children, if they have'!/ educate all but three at their own expense. Good, gloomy dean, he. knows little about human nature. And he worries, because comnio.i people have most of the children, the birth rate being lowest among the educated classes. What wo^A^the dean have said to Nancy Hanks, with bare feet, a lady unable to read or write, caring for a heavy baby in a hut with a dirt floor, and without windows? He'd have said "Leave child bear ing to the educated upper classes, my dear." But the big baby was Abra ham Lincoln. You never can tell. The latest asinine, intensely dan g?;rous proposition is that the United States should sign an international "protocol.," pledging ourselves against the use of chemicals, including potetrr gases and other gases in future war fare. ( hemical warfare, in -addition t.> being modern warfare, is the least brutal, most merciful form of war thus far devised by human brutality (.'hemical warfare could render un conscious the inhabitants of a whole city, capturing without killing them. The old style of war was to burn the city, kill the men and women. The poison gases, so called, mustard gas, tear gas and other gases are more merciful than powder or bullets, just as powder and bullets are more mer ciful than weapons of an earlier kind. In the big war entire regiments, made temporarily blind by tear gas, were taken prisoners and brought into camp, tears streaming down their faces, unable to see their way, with not a man wounded. Not one died, and the blind ness did not last. Only a sickly sentimentalist can call that kind of warfare "more hor rible" than the old fashioned war that shot men to pieces and left them to die of festering wounds on the battlefield. Meanwhile the army's chemical de partment, concentrated on study of chemical warfare and chemistry gen erally, is engaged in work of value to the nation, apart from war. We are not going to attack any body, and should develop to the high est point every known method of war fare, including chcmical warfare, to be ready for attack. Meanwhile, poison gases are to be used more and more in legitimate war, in fighting the boll weevil and the Kuropean corn borer, which has already appeared in several states,, and might, if unchecked, blight the corn crop as the boll weevil doe< the cotton crop.

Hour a > PeriiiU Once in a while we read something in the news of the day which strengthens our faith in the natural | honesty of the human race. We are not one of those who think the raco ia going to the dogs and thai most people are just naturally houest.l All our business and industrial and social systems have for a foundation' stone the idea that human fx* i - are honest and desire to do the right thing by their fellows. There's a good dual that tends to weaken that faith. There are a lot of people who are doing their best to prove that we arr? all wrong. * Hut on the other hand there at. many things every day which show us that conscii nt t- is a yery real thing ( in the soul of man, and that r'ght per sists and triumphs over the tendency to do wrong. In Kentucky seventeen years ago a purse was stolen from a young woman. It contnincd personal trink ets and a little money. A few days ago the mails brought back the purse with all its contents intact except the money ? And crisp new bills replaced the stolen cash. The history of this little crime never will be known, but certain it is 1 that there persisted all through these seventeen years the realization and the remorse of wrong doing which brought about the effort to make restitution. Just recently the Y. M. C. A. secre tary of Greenville received two dollars from a man in the far west, this be ing compensation doubly given . for an overpayment of one dollar in change id a "Y" hut during the war. The man sending the money said he had never felt right about the matter since the day of Vhv ? These are cases of belated honesty j but they show" how honesty persists i in the human soul. ? Rock Hill Kecord Darlington Girls Enter Columbia, Oct. 28. ? Twenty-nine girls have entered the race in the Ttfy of Darlington for the sa te of j Stone Mountain Confederate Memo? - . ial coins in the "appreciation contest," urcording to information reaching -J. Wilson Oibbes, executive secretary of the campaign in this state. Uright Williamson, the very active arid enthusiastic chairman in Darling ton. says: "Twenty-nine young, beau tiful girls, just full of 'pep* and ready for the fray, have entered." Thi city of Darlington and vicinity ha-? allotted to it 1,071 coins. "They will be sold in a jiffy," Mr. William son says. j Other counties aref entering thi' : contest and are making efforts to bo J first t'<> dispose of their quotas ot coins. Syndication of much of the general matter in the Methodist Christian Advocates of the northern states, th-,? merger of two leading Presbyterian weeklies, with the evident financial distress of many other denomination al organs, has caused an inquiry in the Southern Methodist conference which has developed the fact that many church merWbers neglect to sup port the church press.
