who unsuccessfully, competed
with Richard 1. Manning for

Democratic ticket in this State, today

"The second primary is ended and
I am defeated by a big majority. I
conducted a manly, clean campaign
against tremendous odds and 1 have
no regrets or apologies to offer. The
main question involved, as 1 consider
it, both in the first and second primaries,
was. shall the people or the
special interests control the State
government? I fought for the people
and was supported largely by reformers
of the 1890 type, who believe in
a government of and for the people,
but not by the newspapers.
"I desire to express my sincere
gratitude to the 45,099 Democrats
who gave me their support and whc
remained loyal while every effort was
being made by the newspapers and by
others, with the free use of their columns,
to destroy my character. 1
wish to assure them that I shall en
deavor in the future, as in the past,
to live and conduct myself in a manner
that will merit the support they
gave and the great honor they have
done me. I have always striven tc
give to my State the very best service
at my command and I shall continue
to the end.
"I do not feel the least resentment
for those who voted against me from
honest conviction. This is their unquestioned
right. But there are those
who have been outrageously unjust
to me and these I leave to the judgv
ment of a noble people, the people oi
South Carolina, and confidently rely
upon the verdict they shall ultimately
render between me and these traducers
and slauderers."

War and Black Hats.
You may have to wear a brown or
gray hat next winter whether you like
that color or not, says the PhiladelM
phia Ledger. One of the things which
the flying bullets in Europe have shol
to pieces is black dyes.
I learn from a large hat factory
here that most of the blacks come
from Germany, but the war has
suspended thfir importation intc
Philadelphia. That's why you may
have to fall back upon a brown derby
Those cannon shots were also
heard at Disston's saw works, where
some thousands of workmen were
f made idle yesterday.
A chemical manufacturer is my authority
for saying that a certain
ingredient for which they paid 17
cents a pound two weeks ago is now
worth $1.50.
And an electrical supply man tells
me that the metal used in tungsten
lamps is rapidly becoming scarce as
trout in a milk can. Americans can
withstand the hardships incident to a
cessation of such imports as silks
furs, laces, diamonds and champagne
The real pinch comes when we can
not get the commodities needed by 6c
many of our manufacturers.
More in His Flock.
There w*as a certain bishop whc
had a pleasant habit of chatting
with anybody he might meet during
his country walks. One day he cam*
across a lad who was looking aftei
some pigs by the roadside, and the
bishop pausing to ask him what he
was doing, that being his usual opening
to conversation.
"Moindin' swoine." the lad replied
stolidly.

"Two shillin's," was the reply.
"Only two shillings?" remarked
the bishop. Then he continued
pleasantly, "I too, am a shepherd
but I get more than two shillings.'
The lad looked at him suspiciouslj
for a minute, then he said, slowly:

A New Sherlock.
A joke was played on Sir Arthui
Conan Doyle during his last visit tc
Paris by a French taxicab driver. i1
a story in the Caulois is to be credit
ed. The man had driven Sir Arthui
from the station to a hotel, anc
when he received his fare, he said
"Merci, M. Conan Doyle." "Why
how do you know my name?" askec
Sir Arthur. "Well, sir, I have seen ir
the papers that you were coining
from the south of France to Paris
your general appearance told nie tha
you were English: your hair hac
been clearly last cut by a barber o
south France. I put these indica
tions together, and guessed at onc<
that it was you." "That is very re
markable. You have 110 other evi
dence to go upon?" "Well," sai<
the man, "there was also the fac
that your name was on your lug
gage."

i ORIGIN OF THE SPLIT SKIRT.
English Explorer RejK>rts iHseovery '
of tlie Vogue in Papua.
j It will no doubt interest feminine
. readers to learn that the slit skirt is is
not exclusively a feature of latter J i
day civilization. It seems, indeed, to p
be, as some male critics have suspect- i
ed. a product of savagery. Where ! i
the idea originated is not quite eer- | <
I tain. It has been variously attribut-jl
Jed to Paris and New York. The dis-il
covery has now been made that this Is
I latest creation in female attire is in |
i vogue in places where civilization is <
unknown, where no white women 3
and very few white men have ever 1
set foot, and most of those who have j
( centured there have been killed and ]
i eaten. i
In a report to the minister for <
. internal affairs regarding his recent i
, expedition up the Fly river, in Papua, 1
Judge Murray states that he visited <
! parts of the territory which, so far
i as he was aware, had not previously 1
i been explored, and one of the most 1
; interesting of his discoveries was the 1
fact that all the women in one of <
the tribes were wearing slit skirts. <
This style of apparel seemed to have ]
been in use for many years. j

GIRL ARRESTER AS SPY. (
Miss Isoline Campbell Writes of Re- 1

Miss Isoline Campbell, an Atlanta <
society girl, was arrested as a spy
by the Germans in Dresden several
' weeks ago and heavily fined by the
magistrate before whom she was ar- <
raigned because she had taken a pic- 1
' ture of a mob which followed two friends.

The news of the thrilling experience
of Miss Campbell, together with
the word of narrow escape from a
similar arrest by Miss Margaret McKee.
another Atlanta girl, and the
daughter of former Postmaster Hugh
L. McKee, is contained in letters re>
ceived from London by her mother.
Mrs. R. O. Campbell.
l Miss Campbell and the Travlors
: are now on the Baltic en route for
home, having 6ailed Tuesday from
- Liverpool.
s Miss Campbell, who will make her
i debut this winter, has been abroad
> for a year, in a schoolin Paris. When
- the vacation period came she joined
. a party conducted by Miss Elizabeth
? Green, of Augusta, and commenced
! a tour of Europe. The party, which
> included the Traylors and Miss McKee,
together with several other (
Georgians, was in Munich when the
t war broke.
\Tis* Pamnhell writes most inter
- estingly of visiting the hotel and res- ?
taurants just after the declaration
; and witnessing the enthusiasm of the
i people, especially the military.
The party got from Munich to
i Dresden without mishap, and there .
l they were held prisoners in their ho,
tels, not being allowed to leave their
. rooms, for three days,
i Dr. and Mrs. Traylor tired of the
> restraint. Miss Campbell writes, and
ventured out on the street. They
were halted and placed under arrest '
by German officers.
When they claimed that papers at
> the hotel would prove their Amerl:
can citizenship, the officers expressed
' a willingness to delay their execution.
! until the papers might be inspected.
Accordingly the party started to
- the hotel, and the crowd which wit>
nessed the arrest soon became a
' mob.

Despite the protest of Dr. Traylor
and other members of the party. Miss
1 Campbell states she was led to police
headquarters and registered as a
prisoner. As her identity had been
established, she was allowed to rer
turn to the hotel, after the camera
was confiscated, and ordered to re1
I port the next day. She was then
' fined several hundred marks, she
writes, the judge telling her that the
violation of the rule against taking
pictures was a serious one. and that
. he was being extremely light with
, her.
[ After her arrest. Miss Campbell
writes, the soldiers examined the
. camera of Miss McKee, but she esI
taped arrest because she had no undeveloped

FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT.

Columbia, Sept. 20.?Miss Ea
May Hite, president of the Soul

i imam school term of seven month
a local tax in every district, the ei
; rollment of every child of school ag
. the regular attendance of every pup:
l at least one teacher to every 50 pi
pils^ modern buildings with model
; equipment, and hearty cooperatic
, between the home and the school.
It is along these lines that tl
president of the association, in c
[ operation with the county superi:
; tendent of education and the coun
. organizer, has worked OEe week :
each of the following counties: Dar
ington, Kershaw, Cherokee, Lexin

1 berry, Dorchester, Kershaw, Ocone
I Anderson, and possibly other cou
ties, together with a booth fitted \
as a model schoolroom with ide
equipment. Though this is the fir
attempt at an exhibit of this kin
yet there is every reason to belie1
that it will prove one of the most i
teresting features of the fair.
2. Clean-up day: "Clean-up da:
observed in the schools of South Ca
olina last year, served as. a great fa
tor in the improvement of educatio
a! conditions. Again this year \
will observe "Clean-up day" in tl
scnoois on tne nrsi rnaay m .Novei
ber. Every community, every boa
of trustees, and eve:*y teacher shou
cooperate in observing this day
early in the session as practicable.
