This office E is one of necessity in business affairs and should not be made the plaything of a partisan executive. The general assembly should take. steps at the present session to remedy such a condition. ti tr There are several recommenda- ^ tions in the governor's message which cL we commend, especially those in reference to returns on packages sent ^ r n d. bv exDress companies and a | * flat passenger rate of two .cents a mile on all railroads. He also recomw , mends that the legal rate of interest - oi be reduced to six per cent, and wants ^ the judges elected by the people. These may or may not be of benefit to the people. of as There is a movement on foot to ^ place the Carlisle^ Fitting School in ^ the front rank of the best preparatory schools in this section, and the v thing most needed now is a large! - " - I sc brick dormitory for the boys. The C6 dormitory must be built if the institution is to hold its own, and it re- _ d< mains with the people of.Bamberg to ^ say whether it shall be built or not. Another need is an athletic field, and ^ we understand this will soon be supSc! plied. The school is a valuable as- . set to the town, and the citizens here el must care for the future of the insti- ^ tution. In Some New Year Resolutions. ti Resolve: . st That you will keep so busy boost- re ing that you won't have time to a knock. te That you^will vote, talk and work in for a bigger, better, brighter town. fa * That you will help to make this ni a good town so the town can make 01 good. ' * That you will increase the value of in your property by improving its ap- & pearance. n< That you will say something good F about this town every time you write ai a letter. ei That you will invest your money m here where' you made it and where ej you can watch it. ol .That you will not point out the w town's defects to a stranger or fail tt to point them out to a neighbor. ai That you will keep your premises ti picked up and your buildings repair- ol ed as a matter of both pride and hi profit. si That you will never buy a thing hi outside of town ufitil the local mer- ol chants have been given a chance to si sell it to you. That you will brag about this town so much that you will have to work for this town in order to keep from being a liar. * t< f That you will take half a day right P' now to pick up the odds and ends ci around the place and turn them into y; either use, money or ashes. s1 That you will contribute as much a money as you can afford and as tc much enthusiasm as anybody, to any movement to develop the town's h resources. tl That you will joint the movement d to induce the people in this town to e do their buying at home, if there is p no such movement, that you will e< start one. ? That you will make friends with t! the farmers, if a town man, or with w the town folks, if a farmer, and help to work together for the good of w the community of which this town o is the center. a \ IN PROHIBITION KANSAS. attorney General Confirms Facts a to Improvement. The Progressive Farmer says: - We noted last week that a reade tad written us for verification of tatement we recently quoted froi ittorney General John S. Dawson, c Kansas, as to the results of a thirt ears test of Prohibition in th? Itate. In the course of this stat< aent Mr. Dawson was quoted as saj ng: "Illiteracy has been reduced froi 9 per cent, to less than 2 per cent .nd that trifling amount is almos ntirely among the foreign elemen Vith 105 counties in the State, 8 if them have no insane; 54 have n eeble-minded; 96 have no inebr tes, and the few which do have com rom the cities -which defied the lao the last. Thirty-eight county poc arms have no inmates. There i nly one pauper to every 3,000 poi ilation. In July, 1911, 53 count ails were empty, 65 counties had n irisoners serving sentences. Som ounties have not called a jury t ry a criminal case in ten years, an grand jury is so uncommon tha lalf of our people wouldn't kno' fhat it is." We have now received a repl rom Mr. Dawson, who says: "This is true in every single pai icular, except in one instance wher say that illiteracy has been reduce rom 4 9 per cent, to less than 2 pe ent. I am constrained to believ ,iat the figures "49" are inaccurate cannot believe that 30 years ag< te percentage of illiteracy was eve } high.

The Struggle on Mars. Careful and thorough investiga on of Mars has just reveled to as onomical science a world of grea eauty, but filled with signs of age world peopled by intelligent be igs, but a world which has reache< ie period when there is no mor ;a.. Thus may be summed up th? isults of the most exhaustive a ell as theymost authoritative studie : any planet since the perfection o ie spectroscope. The investigation ive been conducted upon an elabor ;e scale at the famed observator; f Flagstaff under the supervision o ;tronomers and astro-physicists fo te purpose of determining once fo .1 the great controversy of whicl ars has been the subject for s< lany years. Photographs, spectro :opic observations and the most re mt methods of optical researcl ere drawn upon in arriving at thf eductions. An authorized repor om the pen of the well-known stu mt of astro-physics, Dr. James H 'orthington, makes even more sen itional reading than will be foun< i the papers of Prof. Percival Low 1, one of the first to insist tha ars is the abode of a race of intel gent beings. Worthington declares now tha le explorers of the planet from th? andpoint of Flagstaff find abundan >ason to believe in the existence o highly developed and intelligen ice, making a last stand against th< creasing deserts of its "world. Th< .mous canals |re evidences of tre endous and united efforts to ek< it the decreasing water supply t< ie last drop. In this struggle we se< some sense a forecast of what th< irth must also become in the full 3ss of time. The astronomers a lagstaff set' out to learn definitel: 1 important truth respecting anoth planet; but they likewise learnec uch of our own.

C. is Protest Against Alleged Plan of Handling Truck Near Beaufort. Washington, Jan. 11.?Complaint ir has been filed with the Inter-State a commerce commission against the 11 Charleston and Western Caro>f lina Railway Company, by the Trucky ers' Transfer Company, a corporation it organized chiefly for transporting i- produce from the truck farms on the islands and necks of land in the vicinity of Beaufort, S. C., to the n terminals and stations of the Charles., ton and Western Carolina Railway. 5t This complaint alleges that the det. fendant railway has filed with the 7 commerce commission a statement o that it has extended its line to the i- truck farms aforesaid, by making : what the complaint declares to be a w fictitious corporation, designated as >r ttie lieaUIOn i rauspui Lauuii Lunr is pany, a connecting carrier, and pub) lishing a through rate from the y farms, which through rate is an ado vance of five cents on barrels and e three cents on crates over the regular o rate from the defendant's terminus at d Port Royal, S. C., and intermediate it stations. w In order to carry out this rate the railroad-company, it is1 alleged, has y made an agreement with one B. B. Chadwick that he do business under - the name of the Beaufort Transportae tion Company, the railroad allowing d him ten cents oh each barrel or barr rel crate of produce and five cents on e each standard crate. The Chadwick j i. contract is said to have been transo ferred subsequently to parties unr known.

The smallest electric dynamo in the world was exhibited recently before the French Academy of Science. c So small is this dynamo that its base! 1 would not occupy all the space on an * American penny. ^ The instrument is a perfect miniature of a large machine and is a a practical model in every respect. It " works with a hum that sounds like the buzz of a mosquito. It weighs only one-fifth of an ounce and is 5 six-tenths of an inch high and long a and onlv half an inch thick. The a little dynamo can be used not only as a generator but as a motor, consuming in this latter case two amperes of electric current at a pressure of , two and one-half volts. A small I pocket battery will operate it.?N. r Y. Press. 1 ; s "1 . it PASTBIE 19* ?? W The Pastime The A 7J7 new management, < ing the latest and 1 to be obtained.
