On The Atlantic. ,
This letter is feeing written on ]
Mrd one of the fastest and moat 1
luxurious ships that cross the Atlan- 1
tic. My home is 700 miles from New 1
York. Six days ago I bid friends 1
udby, stopped in New York 18 hours 1
Jnd now I ??? within less than 200 ?
mik.s of European shores. Day altar :
pi morrow or just seven days after 1
leaving'homo I will dine In London. 1
In point of speed It would seem that
the top of the world has ibeen reach- ;
ed. Perhaps it has. -.There was a
lapse of 2,000 yeara between the two- <

wheel cart and the automobile. The
r \juiwiy-loving, self-indulging Nero
must l>av<; smirked with satisfaction
*when he was borne to the chariot
races in a gold-tasseled litter resting
upon the shoulders of brawny slaves.
Nero thought perhaps that he had
reached the top^f the world, but the
average American laborer of today
enjoys gi eater comfofts and conveniences.
As a passengef on a modern
liner Nero would be ash&med to stick
his head out of the steerage.
Our Ship.
The ship on which 1 am traveling
represents one of the-finished products
. of mcchanjcal science. - The acme of
comfort and convenience, she caters
i to the whims of the .. luxury-loving
class. She has a speed of' 30 miles
an hour, is the length of three average
city blocks,* and her crew and passengers
outnumber the population of the
average American town. On the 8j400
mile six day journey" between New
York and Cherbourg her mighty engines
drink up 70 tons of fuel oil. The
record of 4 days and 12 hours from
New York to Cherbourg Is held by the
muratana, sister ship of the ill-fated
L^Lusitania, whose bowels were, rtppgd
open by a German torpedo ? within
sight of the Irish coast-a few weeks
-4 before war was declared. |
Midnight Sailings.
Midnight sailings are becoming
popular with big liners. This innovation
is a bid for the patronage of
the idle rich and the .busy man of affairs.
The New York sailing schedule
of the boat on which I am traveling
is 12:10 midnight, This is a convenient
hour for the. great majority of
first-class passengers?men- and women
who have seen so much of the
world that a journey across the ocean
jr?^-on a moderrr liner means*no more
than a two-hour' trip to some..well-'
kn.wn watering pfece. They leave

Midnight sailings are fine for the idle
rich or the busy commercial tourists
who look upon journeys across the
ocean aa -commonplace incidents in
one s life, but they do not appeal to
? great middle classes that travel
or pleasure. There is something
thrilling as one aeds the big liner
warped out of her berth by the wasplike
little tugs, when farewells are
shouted, handkerchiefs are waved and
the mighty engines take upr the steady
throb that does not cease till the other
Bide is reached. There is an intensely
human side to this scene which
money cannot buy.
Our Passengers
The passenger list is comparatively
light at this season. The tourist season
jsovef and- the passenger list is
made up wealthy foreigners who have
been spending the summer in America
01 the idle American who is running
over to England or France to spend
* fcw days with relatives or friends.
The second class is made uplargely
of business and traveling men who
form a part of the big army of aggressive
American salesmen who are
putting American made goods all over
England and the Continent. And
again yog . will find the swarthyskinned
European, well-groomed,
.wellrtailored, whose ancestors any one
or two degrees removed from the
sterile hillsides of southern Europe,
returning to the home of his forbears
in his hour of prosperity.
Just a Big Hotel
If you have never been abroad and
want to get a good idea of a modern
steamship merely think'1 of a big
American hotel. Our 'ship has its
elevators, its palm gardens",'its swimming
pqpls, its gymnasiums, its dining
rooms and restaurants, its
lounges, smoking rooms, writing
tfooms and libraries. Life aboard ship
flows along in the same smooth way
day after day. It is more like a summer
resort in the middle 'of the ocean.
It has the summer resort characters.
The rocking chair brigade does not
miss a morsel 'that will furnish food
for gossip. The gossip of the ship
originates in this half-secluded corner
where tongues keep pace with knitting*
needles. This news bureau of
the ship will tell you confidently
about Mr. Money Bags who is going
to Paris to get a quick divorce from
madam whose social- ambitions do not
appeal to her.-practical minded husband,
or the beautiful blonde who
promenades late in the * evening with
her maid for company who is the wife
~
of Mniionaii^^uSL^hr^rno^o^
genial with her husband and spends I
the most of her time abroad. The!
countess who appears to be very exclusive
turns out to be ,the head miL
liner of a fashionable dress-making I
establishment on her way to Paris to J
study the spring styles and the young
lady with the form and features of I
an aristocrat about whom the ship's
company had woven many* romantic I
tales turns out to be a former chorus I
girl on her way to play a minor roll |
in a London theatre. The plain little I
man with heavy lenses, who puttersl
around asking unusual questions and!
carries the air of a weary grocery
clerk on a brief vacation is introduced
at the concert on the fourth night out I
as a world celebrity. The modern
ocean liner is the smoking room of
a Pullman car in an exaggerated
sense. Do not believe half you hear.
. Rivalry of the Sea
There is rivalry between the American
and British ships. This spirit is!
reflected in the ship's crew. I am on
a British ship. Yesterday the Levia-j
than caught up with us and then be-J
gan a mid-ocean race in real earnest. I
Gradually the mighty Leviathan took
the lead and disappeared some time I
during the night. The greeting ofl
the room ste^rd next morning was,!
"Well, we passed the Leviathan dur-1
ing the night!" It was said liv' al
spirit of exultation which was par-J
donable. But it was a mistake^ fftfe!
Leviathan beat us into Cherbourg by 1
10 hours. j/ . i
The Language of the Sea
Some fifty different languages are
spoken in the world but the language
of the sea, like the lhhguagc of love,
is universal. When Mr. Daniels was
secretary of the navy an effort was
made to change certain nautical terms
to common everyday terms. I have
often wondered why "8 bells" which
means 8 o'clock could not be changed
to plain 8 o'clock or why "starboard
was not called right and "port" p^ain
left. But the change would cause
confusion. , A ship's' crew is made up
or many nationalities who speak many
different languages, but they all understand
the language of the sea in
terms of bolls, and the German sailor
is as much at home on an English ship
as the English sailor is on a Gorman
ship. It is likely that this language,
now several thousand ypars old,^will.
1 be used on ships until . the world
adopts a universal language. ,
There are many diversions on a
modern liner, but even six days in
crossing seems like a long time and
the flickering lights at the mouth of
the Channel which will begin to appear
at sundown will be welcome.
Tomorrow evening we will land at
Southampton.'
Sheriff Hunter Makes Suggestion
When Sheriff John P.- Hunter, Of
Lancaster county, . speaks he has
something to say. Sheriff Hunter
will retire two years from now with
a record of length of service and
fidelity to duty such as very few
peace officers have been able tomake.
For monTEfiau forty years he hasheen
sheriff oi>is county, except for four
years when ne ,was United States
marshal, altering that long period
he hasp always got his man, and has.
done so without using a gun. What
he says is, therefore, always entitled
to consideration, as he knows what
he is talking about when it comes to
enforcement of the laws. Writing
about officer being required, in
swearing out a warrant, to give the
source of their information, Sheriff
Hunter writes as follows to the
papers: . '
"I wish to say through your columns,'
that in my judgm^t, there are
very few people's houses in South
Carolina searched fo? whiskey, who
are innocent of handling liquor in an
illegal way, therefore, T do not believe
an officer swearing out a search
warrant for liquor, should be required
to give the source of his information,
for often times hie information is
derived from a timid, law-abiding
neighbor of the viblHtor of the prohibition
law, which is given the officer
in strict confidence. There are very
few private citisens in our state who
believe in law and ord?^ who wish to
get the ill-will of violators of l*w by
letting it be, known that they have
given officers information as to their
violations of law?and I do not blaBto",
them?for if they did, it would oftdn
cause them to have trouble
bad class of violators pf law.. CortW
quentty, I hope the legislature will
aiinul that part of tha law which re*
quires an officer to give the source of
his information when he Swears out a
search warrant for liquor, for aa the
law now stands, it is certainly favorable
to tha bootlegger. The officer
who makes the search is supposed to
be a peace officer and not- a strife
raiser, arbkh he. would be in- assay
instances. If he gave the source of
his information.?Cheater Reporter.

HITTING FROM AIR NOW.
Officer* Are Investigating Peculiar
Accident in Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Oct. 21.?Developments
in the killing of Thomas G.
Browder, 83, Confederate veteran,
struck down by a low flying plane in a
fleld near here yesterday, halted temporarily
tonight pending reports of a
chemist who is making a series of
tests to determine if a strand of hair
fouud upon the plane of Lieut. A. J.
Lehman, of Leban^*v Ind., is that of
a human.
Meanwhile three army officers,
Lieutenants Lehman, JXl.A.Dennison,
andGlaire Stroh, are held at Magwell
Field awaiting the arrival of Fourth
Corps Area officials and possible court
trial by military court jn connection
with the death of Browder. They were
arrested by direction of Major H. H.
C. Richardson, commandant of the
post.
. .Mxy Browder was in charge of a '
group of cotton pickers in a fleld, ^
when an airplane suddenly dipped \
down, a section of the landing gear
striking him a fatal blow and injur- 1
ing Clark Henry, one of the cotton <
pickers. The plane ascended to a
point directly over the scene, where, (
after circling about once, made off .
without having been identifled.
The accused men made no state- 1
ment, _l 1 J
Weather Damage To Cotton.
Weather damage to raw cotton
ter picking has long been a source of
much waste, entailing annual losses
estfmatedbat upward of $25,000,000,
says the U. ^ Department of Agriculture
in a new bulletin. By "weather
damage" is meant damage that results
from excessive moisture in bales
of cotton. ? Department studies have
shown that there are two distinct
stages in the process of deterioration
of cotton as &-result of this condition
?mildew or discoloration,.and deejay
of the fiber.
Mildew, according to the bulletin,
towers the grade and consequently,
the value, but does ndt seriously weaken
t&e fiber. The fib$r, however, U
seriously weakened by the process of
decay, and eventually may be destroyed
entirely. v
Cotton inay have been picked before- fully
mature or-while wet with rain.
It ma^'have become damp while piled
oh the ground in the field, or it may
have be,CJV stored temporarily in cotton
' houses or steels with leaky roofs.
When wet co$tonJf taken ft> the girt,
the resulting bale is excessively wet
and damage to the fiber results.
More frequently, moisture^gets intot}ie
bale after it is packed, either from
rain directly on the cotton, absorption
from the ground or wet floors or walls
| leaky roofs or warehouses or freight
cars,^gr, exposure on freight or com^
press platforms. '
Six tests were made by the department
in five representative localities
in th^e Cotton Belt. Seven bales of
| cotton were used, one bale beingstored:
in warehouse, and the remaining
six. bales exposed to the
weather under various conditions.
The loss in the exposed bales varied
from a" few pounds to more than 50
per cent of a bale. The six stored
bales lost an average of less than 1
per cent. rf , . s';
To protect' cotton from weather
damage, the bulletin says, it is of the
greatest possible importance that the
bales be kept from contact with, the
ground or any other source of moisture,
Cotton should be matured thoroughly
and dried out before it is ginned.
If it is ginned while wet, the'
staple probably "will be "gin cut" and
in other ways damaged, and the resulting
bale* will have an excess of
moisture. .When- it is impossible to
place the cotton lp a warehouse immediately,
the bales should be placed
?-iii-"- * r '1 i =1
on poles and turned often.

Bulletin No. 1438*D, "Weather!
Damage To Cotton," may be obtained!
