These two events will prove the i
main ones of the spring social sea- 1

' The Red Cross in War.
<
???
Miss Edith Durham, who had such J
opportunities for observation during
the Balkan war as were permitted
correspondents, advanced in a London
lecture, the curious theory that 1
the Red Cross prolongs the horrors
of war.
Her reasoning runs this way: <
Thousands of soldiers wno migui
? otherwise die are preserved through Red
Cross ministrations. The recov- 1
ery of thousands of sick and wound- 1
ed soldiers is hastened who might 1
/
otherwise be incapaciated until after
the war had been finished. These '
soldiers are returned to the ranks to '
continue fighting after the date on '
which the losses imposed by a different
condition might force the end
of the war through the exhaustion of ,
one or both sides.'
If the Red Cross is in league with
militarism, it is time, indeed, the alliance
is dissolved by the introduction }
of the universal peace era. But her's ,
is only an academic and rather fan- j
tastic view. It is akin to the cynical
" view that ameliorative agencies in- '
suring a better equipment and greater
longevty in the battle for a livelihood
only prolong an agony that
might sooner be ended.
If the Red Cross extends war's
duration, then exchange of prisoners,
small-caliber bullets, mercy to non- ^
combatants, bombardment of popu- .
lous cities only after due notice, and
other humane usages must extend it.
But we know that the duration of
wars has been greatly shortened since
the days when helpless wounded left
on the field were killed, prisoners
were slaughtered as fast as taken, '
wells were poisoned, and women and
children were enslaved. The Red
Cross helps to restrict the vogue of
war by softening ferocities of the J
fight that might lead to perpetual international
feuds.?St. Louis PostDispatch.
SAVED MILLION DOLLARS.
1
Uncle Sam Profits by Economies of i
lllakeslee.
Washington, April 9.?Economies
effected bv Fourth Assistant Post
master General Blakeslee during the ]
first year of his administration have
netted the government a saving of
one million dollars, according to
figures announced to-day by Postmaster
General Burleson. <
The replacing of the old-fashioned j
mail locks with new and lighter locks
is said to have resulted in a saving of
$200,000; $55,000 was saved by using
canvas instead of leather
pouches, reduction in office employees
netted $143,000 and the manufacture
and purchase of cancelling machines
$100,000.
A Neat Come Back.

BANKS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Calhoun Senator- Won't Hun for
lieutenant Governor.
St. Matthews, April S.?The local
?orrespondent of The News and
Courier asked Col. J. A. Banks this 1
morning for his attitude with reference
to a previous Columbia interview
and the positive reports of his
friends that he would be in the race
for lieutenant governor during the
summer. He stated that he had defiTitoiv
rtApidprt imt to run for that or
any other State office during the approaching
campaign. He wished it
emphatically understood, however,
that he would continue to work for
the agricultural and industrial advancement
of South Carolina. He
feels that he can do as much or more
on the floor of the senate than as .
the presiding officer.
Col. Banks is one of Calhoun's
largest farmers, is president of the .

CLUB ABANDONS RACE MEETING. 1

Gov. Stuart Warned Turfmen Militia |
Would be Used.
??? ?
Norfolk, Va., April 9.?Warned by
Governor Stuart that the State mili- 1
cia would be used if necessary to sup- ;
press violation of the Virginia anti- i
betting laws, the Jamestown Jockey .
Club to-night abandoned the spring ]
race meeting, wnicn was 10 continue
until April 17. Sensational raids and
fines and prison terms imposed upon ;
bookmakers had marked the few ,
stormy days the meet had been in 1
progress. .
In a formal statement the officials j
Df the Jockey Club announced that
:hey had decided to discontinue the
meet to avoid "any conflict of opinion."
The statement added that if (
:he higher courts later construed the
iaws so "that we can conduct racing
without fostering a violation of the .
laws of Virginia, we will resume: 1
otherwise the course will be perma- j
aently closed."
In Humorous Vein. .
Gray Tunstall, city treasurer of
Norfolk to-day sent the following .
telegram to President Wilson:
J
"His Excellency, the President, ]
Washington, D. C.: Should the gov- ,
grnor of Virginia be unable with the j
State militia to break up racing in
Norfolk courfty, will you not have all
the 13-inch guns at Fort .Monroe deliver
a broadside against the race
track? '
"To make it sure you mikht send ,

notify me before the bombardment !
begins.
"Hopefully, yours in Democracy.

Militants Make Disturbance in Court
Belfast, Ireland, April S.?Mili- <
tant suffragettes created so much ]
confusion and noise in police court 1
bere to-day when Dorothy Evans and <
Madge Muir, officials of the Belfast i
branch of the Women's Social and 1
Political Union, were brought up for i
:rial, that proceedings had to be ad- '
iourned. :
The two women were charged with 1
laving in their possession explosives
'or the purpose of committing a s
felony. j
The court was crowded with wo- i
nen when the prisoners were brought ]
n and. acting apparently on a signal, <
:hey- raised such a din that neither j
magistrate nor prosecutor could (
make himself heard. i
As they were led out the two pris- <
)ners shrieked that they would not j
permit the holding of a court. ]
The opinion was generally express- j
sd that orders had been issued from ]
nilitant headquarters to the suffra- ]
?ettes to create similar scenes every j
time a woman was charged with a
suffrage outrage. i
After parsing a short period in t
iheir cells. Miss Mulr and Miss Evans ,
were again brought into court. Both j
tried to dash into the street and in j
the struggle Miss Evans fainted. ,
When placed in the prisoner's en- 1
closure Miss Muir hurled a grip- ^
>ack at the magistrate's head and he j
promptly remanded both accused in
custody. I,

A Golfer's Verdict.
"Pop," said the son, who had cad- ^
ded one afternoon at one of the golf
clubs, "is a man a pretty good golfer 1
if he knocks the ball 125 yards?" *
"Just a novice, my son." '
"WpII if hp knnolcs a hall 175 1
yards is he pretty good?" 1
"Yes. pretty good, son." :
"Well. pop. what if he knocks the 1
ball 250 yards?" 1
"Mighty good! He's mighty good 1
if he can do that, my boy."
"Well, pop. what if he knocks it 1
275 yards?" (
"He's awful, awful good. Tommy." (
replied pop. as he once more fastened
his eyes on the story of the In- 1
dian's downfall.
"Well, pop. what if he knocked the 1
ball 375 yards?what would he be 1
then?"
"Probably a liar, son. Now you
had better run up and kiss mama and .

LONGEST NON-STOP VOYAGE.
British Steamer Ashtabula Goes 10,881
Miles.
New York, April 10.?The British
oil tank steamer Ashtabula arrived
to-day from Lebitos, Peru, completing
the longest non-stop steam voyage on
record. On account of bad weather,
which forced her to round Cape Horn
instead of threading the Straits of
.Magellan, the vessel had 10,881 miles
to her credit when she paused to take
a pilot off Sandy Hook. She burns
oil.
ALL ABOUT THE BIG DITCH.
Woman Didn't Require Information
on the Panama Canal.
''Let me call your attention,
madam," said the stranger, "to the
first authentic work describing the
Panama Canal, which is the greatest
achievement of modern times. Every
patriotic American will want to know
all about the canal when it's opened
for business, and this book gives
every fact It is "Strongly endorsed
by the vice president of the United
States?"
"And I suppose it's compounded
of barks and buds and healing
herbs," said M?rs. Curfew, with
blighting sarcasm. "I don't want
rour book, mister, and I don't want
to stand here with the door open
and a cold wind blowing over me.
It's that way people catch colds
which develop into bronchitis and
pneumonia, and the first thing they
know ahey are out in the church
yard, with big white headstones over
them, giving the dates of their birth
and death, and concluding with a
foolish epitaph.
"Xo, sir, I don't want your book,
even if it does contain the most
wholesome ingredients. If there's
Dne thing in this world that I'm not
interested in it's the Panama Canal,
f have no shipping that will be benefitted
by it, and I don't expect to
trade with the South Americans. I
have a hen setting on 16 eggs in the
woodshed, and that hen means far
more to me than the Panama Canal.
If you had a book telling how to
prevent a setting hen" from leaving
her nest until the eggs get cold I
might buy a copy, but I don't want
you to mention the Panama Canal
Dr the vice president in my presence
again.
"If you look around you will see
where the plaster has been knocked
from the wall and you will notice
that the hanging lamp has been
broken from its hook in the ceiling,
and several panes of glass are broken
in the windows. No doubt you wonder
what sort of a cataclysm has been
loose here, and my answer is, the
Panama Canal.
"My husband is an excellent man,
Dr I wouldn't be living with him, as
[ have been for more than 30 years,
Dut he has his weaknesses like all
Dther men. He's always taking too
much interest in public questions. I
bold that poor people should have
nothing to do with public questions.
The best thing they can do is to
saw wood. Mr. Curfew's always getting
into trouble because of this.
"The other day he came home with
i black eye and while I was preparing
a poultice for it he explained
that he got into an argument with
Mr Doodle about the income tax. He
said that the government was nothng
but a highway robber when it
collected sucn a tax. .ur. uuuuic,
Alio has held office most of his life,
said he wouldn't stand supinely by
ind hear the government abused and
ie hauled off and punched Mr. Curlew
in the eye and then went and
lad himself interviewed by the local
paper on the subject of our bulwarks
ind palladiums.
"If Mr. Curfew lives a thousand
rears the income tax isn't going to
:ake any bark off his shins, for the
most he ever made was $2 a day, and
t seems the height of folly for him
:o go around collecting black eyes
vhen he should be home gathering
ip the rubbish in the back yard and
getting ready for the spring garden
ng.
"The other evening Mr. Turpentine
and Mr. Bludgeon came over to
spend the evening, and they hadn't
been here five minutes before they
vere arguing about the Panama
Canal, and you could have heard
their voices in the next town, which
is seven miles due south of here. Mr.
Curfew insisted that the canal is
nothing but a national extravagance
*nd that when it's opened for business
it will be run by lot of cheap
politicians, at about ten times the
necessary expenses, and as he argued
lie shook his fist under Mr. Turpentine's
nose and accidentally hit that
-irean. and Mr. Turpentine broke a
?hair over his head, and then Mr.
Bludgeon took a hand, and you see
the results.
"Mr. Curfew has been in his bed
ever since, and I was afraid for a
time that his skull was cracked where
the hanging lamp hit him, but he
seems to be mending slowly, and I
just heard- from the hospital that Mr.
Turpentine will be out in three days
*
quite free," she said to those who J
questioned her. "Why should women
cram them into narrow boots with
four-inch heels?"
Jewelers already are having the
rings made for sandal wearers.
Mile. Provost was the actress who
launched the trouser skirt.?Paris
Dispatch to New York Times.
and I see .Mr. Bludgeon going around
on crutches But after such an experience
you can imagine that I
don't want any more information
about the Panama Canal."
