Col. John K. Aull, secretary of the
state railroad commission and prominent
newspaper correspondent of Columbia,
suffered an attack of acute
appendicitis in Newberry Saturday,
llis condition is reported as favorable
to an early recovery.
South Carolina needs a governor
and a legislature that will put the
kibosh on the 'hoards and commissions
that now dominate the- affairs of the
? state. The machines of the boards,
bureaus, and commissions will he
hard to heat.?Yorkville Enquirer.
Charles Ponzi, former Huston "financial
wizard," was on Wednesday
. - ^e'ntenced .to serve one year at hard
labor in the Florida penitentiary, following
a conviction at Jacksonville
on April 2 on.a charge of violating
the Florida law relating to the conduct
of business under a declaration
of trust.
Morrie SchJaifor, a pugilist of
Omaha, Neb,, has signed up to meet
another pugilist for a fight, in the
hopes that he will win and thus get
the money necessary for him to oppose
a suit by his wife for divorce.
8um Holt, a paymaster for Armour
& Co., was shot to death by five
bandits in (lermnntown, Philadelphia
suburb, Friday, when the paymaster
was on his way from a bank to the
plnnt of his company with $20,000.
The bandits got the money, except
$1,200.Contrary
to expectation and precedent
a jury in a Philadelphia court
on Tuesday returned a verdict of vol
uatary manshtughCer in a murder
case in which the defense was the
unwritten law. The defendant is
liable to imprisonment of six to
twelve years,.
A Warning to Dancers
. A warning sign is hung out for the
benefit of those who think they can
dance properly hut really can not.
It is of particular application to
those who may he tempted to engage
in the gyration of the "Charleston."
The warning is in the form of ?
i;uit fur $50,000 damages 'brought by
a woman against a man friend whom
she charges caused her leg to be
broken, because he? "attempted to
exei ute said dance," but because of
his' physical condition and inability
to maintain his own equilibrium he
caused tin* lady to lose her's and so
she fell to the floor.
There we have it. Don't dance with
any one unless you have reasonable
skill?especially if you are rich. If
your legs are tottery instead of being
fctout pillars, keep off the ball
room floor. If you are unable to
maintain your .equilibrium go.sit in'
a chair and ntay the, e watching the {
others dance. Keep off that floor?
it may he enticing but is a dance)
worth $500? Of course if you want
to pay heavy premium.^ you may be
able to secure indemnity insurance
but that would make dancing seem
mo: e like business than pleasure.
These be suable days, remember.?

set fire to his house when he barricaded

A dispatch of Tuesday from Albuquerque,
N. M., says that on Monday
the body of Santiago Platero,
Navajo Indian, was found hanging
from a limb north of Crown Point
Indian agency. Platero was taken
from a sheriff after he had been arrested,
charged with killing a government
cattle inspector.
Jack Dempsey has placed his name
on the dotted line for a championship
fight to take place about September I

Tex Rickard, promoter, at Fort
Worth, Texas, Wednesday.
Orangeburg as an Example
Orangeburg is up and coming.
Within the short space of one calendar
week that progressive city put,
across a big thing. ^Sixteen canvass-I
ing teams consisting of 128 wide)
awake business men raised during,
that time the sum of $233,200 to'
build an 80-ruom modern hotel. The
slock was subscribed by at least 500 1
local people who have faith in the!
future of Orangeburg. The hotel is
l" be leady for use in 1027.
The putting over of a thing like'
.hat in a city the size of Orangeburg]
shows what co-operation will do.
Business men left their own places ot*;
business and gave themselves unselfishly
and wholeheartedly to the:
big task, never stopping till the task
was completed.
That is what makes jj town or city j
grow and expand. Without it there |
can be no growth. St. George can
well learn a lesson from Orangeburg.
Unselfishness is the keynote for|
progress in this modern day, and if i
we can forget self and put town and
community first there is bound to be:
progress and development.?Dorchester

Five thousand canaries, fqrty pet
monkeys, lf>0 parrots, two boa constrictors
wele burned alive in an
animal store last week. The animals
all died in their cages, lamenting
with strange voices. All of them, 1
from boa constrictors to baboons, had
this great advantage over man, they
did not know that they were going
to die. '*3'
*
La Rochefoucauld says, "Neither
the sun nor/death can be looked at
with a steady eye." That applies to
men, not animals. The eagle and
others look at the sun steadily, and 1
all look calmly at Death, not knowing
he is there.
Men find comfort in the belief that
there is something for them beyond
leath. Animals do not need that comfort.
Here is old-fashioned news. A
brilliant Spanish airman flew from
Spain to Buenos Aires. National excitement
was intense in Spain, and
the King has decreed an amnesty,
freeing more than one thousand male
and female convicts.
It would have seemed strange in I
this country, if, after the American
flight around the world, the Uniteo
States President had ordered Federal
prisoners set free.
Once that was the custom everywhere.
Good news? Open the
prisons.
F. F, Lucas, of the Bell Telephone
laboratory, exhibits an ultra-violet
light microscope magnifying 9,000
times. It makes the end of a needle
look like a log of wood and the edge
of a razor blade like a huge crosscut
saw. The microscope is used to study
the physical structure of iron, steel
and othev. metals.
Anything that men can imagine
they can do. Some day we may look I
into the atom and see the electrons
moving around the nucleus: It must
be a very "slow movie," for the electron
planets revolve around their I
nuclear sun several billion times in
a second. I
The use of the .whipping post in I
Delaware works well for the insurance
companies. They have reduced
by one-third their charges for insurance
against burglary and other
criminal acts. Burglars do not like I
a state where being arrested means I
being lashed.
If some of the older institutions of
torture??the hoot, rack and thumbscrew?were
added to the whipping
post, insurance might fall even lower.
The professional criminal is usually
timid and dreads pain. It is fear of
a beating, often, that leads him to I
kill.
Knsore's comet was expected within
easy range of the Yerkes Observa-J
Lory at the University of Chicago on
Monday, but astronomers that sat up
all night waited for it in vain, j
Astronomers are puzzled by its disappearance.
Discovered in South I
Africa last December, it was thirty 1
million miles from the sun, sixty mil- I
lion miles from the earth, when last I
seen in January. . '
The comet wandering too near the
sun may have been absorbed by that
light of our system. Our sun, travel-1
:ng through space, may take in fresh
1 sources of light, heat and radiation,
] gobbling up comets, meteorites, etc.,
I as a whale rushing through the ocean
! swallows smaller fish.
Astronomers will know more about
it in 2(26, when that comet is due
on a return trip.
What people want they can ge*,
if they will pay. The national gov1
eminent suspects an international
I ring organized to give Americans
^jujek divorces. In Mexico a divorce
while you wait costs $S00, and there
is a cheap divorce factory in Yucatan.
It would nay some promoter to
rent some little island in a nice climate
beyond the prohibition bound,
i ary? set up a government, and confine
the island business to a first
class bar and a divorce court.
Wandering deer in great herds
t actually stops a railroad train in
1 Colorado, as bison did in early days.
J That excites men fond of killing
things.
Will Be Widely Read
The Duke UntveraHy Pre?s of Dur
luj in, N. <}., has just published "The!
Tillman Movement in South Caro- j
Una" by Francis Butler Simkins of |
Edgefield who la now aaaiatant pro- I
feasor of hiatory in Emory Univer- j
aity. This book ia a critical interpre
tation of eventa which engrossed the;
attention of South Carolinians of a j
generation ago. It begins with an
analysis of tho&c forces which seem
to have made inevitable the over- j
throw of the Hampton regime, followed
by the picturesque story of the
early career of Ben Tillman. The
main portion of the work is concerned
with Tillman's stormy career as a
political agitator and as governor of
South Carolina. Special consideration
is given to such constructive
achievements of Till maoism as the
establishment of white democracy in
the state, the disfranchisement of the
negro and the establishment of the
dispensary and of institutions for the
education of the white youth of the
state. Special features are seven
full-page portraits of Tillman and
other South Carolinians who played
a prominent part in South Carolina \
politics of the nineties. While no attempt
is made to gloss disagreeable
details, Mr. Simkins' work is characterized
by fairness and tact.
The book sells for $2.50 per copy
and The Chronicle is indebted to the
publisher for a copy. It is an intensely
interesting human document
of 274 pages and should be widely
read in South Carolina.
