SOMETHING SMELLS According to a New York news (lis- | patch the war department has plans > all worked out for "transporting 2. 000.000 or more" troops out of New ( York harbor In "an emergency". This | startling disclosure was made last j Tuesday at a hearing before the In- t terstato Commerce commission In j New York. It was made by the head I oft the general committee on port traffic of the Association of American Railroads. When further questioned ] the official declined to answer on the ground that the plans were "conflden- l tial property" of the war department. The statement that plans are "already set tip" to move another American expeditionary force of world war proportions out of New York so startled the Interstate Commerce commission that the "subject was dropped lm mod iatel.w" 1 At this particular time such a statement is calculated to startle more than the Interstate Commerce commission. It would startle the country. It calls for an Investigation. Not all black leopards are fierce and untamable.

OCC enrollee at Camp Robert K. l^ee, at Bishopvilla, was fatally shot Saturday night, May .4, about 11 p. m., at a filling station >two miles north of BlshopvlUe near the Bwlmmlng pool. According to testimony brodght out at the inquest held at the Lee county j court houso Monday, Blackwell and I Crawford Grantham were engaged in an argument when Blackwell advanced on Grantham with a knife. It was brought out that Frank Grantham, a cousin of Crawford, shot Blackwell as he was advancing on his relative. Blackwell ran out after being hit and was later found dead In a ditch partially filled with water near the filling station. Frank Grantham was lat^r arrested by Sheriff James K. Wilson and lodged in the county jail but later was released on bond. The verdict or the coroner's Jury was that "Leroy Blackwell came to his death by a pistol shot at the hands of Frank Grantham."*? Bishopville Messenger. Baseball games are not always won in the first iniUng. nor football games in the first quarter. The side to draw the first blood is probably the loser about as often as not. The Allies have met with defeat in Norway, but aside from the loss of prestige and tho possible effect on morale no particular loss has been suffered, while the loss to German shipping and the ! eVer-tlghtenlng blockade are bound to be exacting their toll. The war may be long-drawn-out. with practically all j of the civilized world finally Involved; 1 and it's fearful to contemplate the i destruction and 'blood-shed that are probably just a little way ahead.?

Honor (The Fountain Inn Trtbun#) Fountain Inn 1* perhaps the only place ou earth where people feel rich If they own $5,000 worth of property; where relative# echeme to defraud one another of tluy blta of property; where families are spUt by hatred because of mere fragments of property; where people wpuld go to hell to get a little piece of property. Honor is not common enough to escape notice. And when a man does something conspicuously honorable, he deserves public mention. When the banks went broke aud almost broke everybody else, there was a general scurrying to cover. Those who could, saved themselves by such methods' as were necessary?most of them without much regard for ethics. There were a few exceptions- Some have heeu mentioned In these columns. Today I learned about "Gene Adams. He eyed the old hank a considerable sum when it closed. The receivers had no way of collecting, for they had no collateral and 'Gene had no property. Rather, he had no property in sight. But he had honor, which Is the best form of collateral In the long run,and he has voluntarily paid every cent he owed. I know of but otje other who would have done that?"Gene s Idol, old John Kellett. Are you unhappy? Do people treat you wrong? Does the world seem out of Joint? Do you feel abused, misunderstood, unappreciated? Well, I know what's the matter with you. You are nursing a grudge. You are sore. You are treating homebody wrong ? feeling bitter toward somebody?and you are too stubborn to give In and sot matters right. Get your own heart right; feel kindly toward your associates; and all your troubles will end. You and you hlone are at fault. And until you are honest enough to admitthat and rid your heart of resentment, you never will be happy. A lady spending the week-end in town attended morning worship at one of the churches. "If you want to get the blues," she said later, "you should attend p. service there now. The last time I was there, the Sunday school children trooping In could hardly find seats. The church was full and the singing was wonderful. Now the people sit In little groups here and there, and the change is saddening. The chujch seems dead." What has happened to the -people' of Fountain Inn? Have they lost Interest in their religion? THE ASTORS CLIMB The News and Courier bad an interesting notice last Friday about a Mrs. Dick, much-married, muchmoneyed, and much-divorced. She had a winter home and extensive plantation near Charleston. She died in Florida. She first married a John Jacob Astor, one otf the victims of the Titanic disaster,?The root of her, more or less, unholy wedlock yokes were short lived. There seem to be some seveh or eight of these John Jacob Astor generations. The first representative came over from Germany as a steerage ^ssenger with barely enough money 'to get across. But he soon developed into a money go-getter, -and not, if records are true, too meticulous about getting it. He went Into the North West fur trade, aud cleaned -up?a fortune, -it was mainly invested in New York real estate which rapidly rose in value. Albert Gallatin, a Swiss, was also an immigrant, who rose rapidly, served thirteen years as secretary of the Treasury, and the best this country has ever had. Gallatin tells how John Jacob Astor came to his rescue to help save the country from bankruptcy. It- was a peculiar team, as, it is said, no auspicious dollar even went through Gallatin's fingers. Gallatin's son wrote amusingly later, about John Jacob. They "dreaded the evening when he dined with them." "He poked beans and ice cream in his mouth with a knife." "He actually wiped his flngers 011 the sleeve of Gallatin s daughter." But money talks. A descendant of John Jacob Astor married the beautiful and aristocratic Nancy Langhorne of Virginia. They moved to England, and Nancy is now a member of Parliament. No more beans poked In the mouth with a knife, or soiled fingers wiped on the sleeve of a petite young lady as a kdoi.o>. - Calhoun Times.
