MARINES FOR PORT ROYAL. Post of 500, Navy Secretary Tells Congressman Byrnes. Aiken. April 19.?Congressman Byrnes has been informed by the ] secretary of the navy that he has de- i cided to establish at Port Royal, S. 5 C.. a post which will consist of ap- ( proximately five hundred officers and enlisted men of the marine corps. ; Mr. Byrnes has had this plan un- i der advisement with the department ] for some time, and it has been ] through his hard work that the sec- ] retary has decided to use the ad- ] vantages at Port Royal. ; [ ?? Tremendous War Business. ( The machinery market of the Unit- 1 ed States was very adtive during February. From the point of view { of business booked, the month was the most satisfactory since the out- ' break of the war. and a number of large machine tool interests say February was the largest month they ever experienced. .Most of the business originated in the requirements of the belligerent powers in Europe, according to the Iron Trade Review. All through the month, and particularly the latter part, the demand for ! ? machinery for direct export to Rus- 1 sia. England and France was of a large proportions: there also was a good demand from neutral countries in Europe, which, however, involved practically the same class of machin. ' ery the same class of machinery as , ordered by the belligerents. A feature of the export trade is the tight- . ening up in the shipping situation; a good many shippers find it almost impossible to secure space in vessels. Outside of the business for direct export the bulk of the business for direct export, the bulk of the orders for the month came fram domestic manufacturers, who have booked con- , tracts for war materials. There now , i is more excitement over war business than ever. One machine tool house for instance, reports that it is figur- , ing on equipment with more than 200 concerns in different parts of the country which, in turn, are figuring on shraDnel and other war material contracts. The Child Under Five. A few days ago Dr. W. C. Woodward, one of the foremost educators of the country, in a public address in Washington, outlined the care a community exercises for individuals from birth to death, with the singular ex> ception of the period between the 1 time a child is one year old and the 1 age to 6tart to school. 1 Birth registration is followed by 1 visits of nurses in some cities, by sending literature to mothers in others, and suggestions are made ( about the prevention of infantile disease. Then the public health agency's interest in the child grows lukewarm f until it enters school and comes under all manner of inspection by city physicians, school nurses, teachers instructed in physiological care, and physical culture nurses. Curiously enough, on the heels of WnnHwnrd'f: nertinent comment upon this point, comes a bulletin 1 * from the United State bureau of education, which points to the same lapse in the care of children. And < this bulletin, quoting Dr.. David Forsyth, an English child specialist, emphasizes the special dangers of neglecting children at this important 1 period of childhood. Large numbers of children, this physiciSn asserts, healthy at birth, become within five years physically defective, and thus give rise to the growing need for special schools for children who are physically or men^ tally below normal. Then, at a heavy cost, every effort is expended to bring these children back to the standard of good health and clear minds. ! Those who study health problems of communities would do well to consider any plan suggested for the correction of this lapse in attention to | children. I)r. Forsyth suggests peI. riodical inspection of all children in a community, by physicians employed upon similar terms as those who look after the health of school children. This is not so revolutionary an idea, and one can conceive that the money expended on this preventive might save larger sums now expended upon curative methods later l y in the child's life.?Anderson Mail. ! Parted Hair. ST In spite of every style that comes , * . and goes in hair dressing, the parted coiffure always enjoys a certain popularity, says an exchange. Just now, the part is on the side, and it is very becoming part to most types of face. ; . The sculptors of classical times and many artists of later days?notably Raphael?almost always parted the i hair, and it has been said that their reason for doing so was that they wished to impart an uueueciuai air to the women they created. That, surely, is not the reason the coiffure of today parts the hair of some of his patrons. But his reason is stood enough to stand the test of reasonj ableness. the part of today is becoming. CAN'T HIT DRUGGIST. fudge Prince Hold New Law Ifoesn't A fleet Alcohol for Medicinal Use. Florence. April 19.?Judge Geo. E. Prince, in the court of common pleas, which opened here this morning, i decision in regard to the handling jf alcohol under the new law. which will attract considerable attention, ind which he requested be carried :o the supreme court for final judgment." It is to the effect that the new law limiting the amount of liquor one party can receive to one gallon a month does not apply to shipments of ilcohol to wholesale druggists, although the letter of the law would seem to indicate that wholesale druggists are debarred like individuals from receiving over a gallon a month Df anything alcoholic. The case was brought by the attorneys for the Coast Line, after the taking of a barrel of alcohol under claim and delivery papers by the E. X. Matthews Drug company from the railroad. inHoo Prince's derision the wholesale drug company would not be debarred from the privilege of getting as much alcohol as was needed in their manufacture of medicines and extracts of which they make a great quantity. Of Course It Was True. Congressman Claude Kitchin was reminded of this amusing incident when the conversation turned to the trials and triumphs of love: Some time ago a young man called at the home of the darling of his heart and after several anxious minutes after he had pressed the buzz button, a maid came to the door. "I wish to see Miss Smith," softly remarked the youth, making motions like heading for the hat rack. "I am very sorry, sir," returned the maid, barring the way, "but Miss Smith is not in." "Not in!" exclaimed the young man in a dismayed voice. "Are you sure?" "Pardon me," was the reproachful response to the man, "but you surely don't doubt her word, do you?"? Philadelph a Telegram, APPOINTS WILLIAMS. Governor Appoints Native of Yorkville to Superintend Hospital. Columbia, April 14.?Dr. C. Fred Williams, of Columbia, was this morning appointed superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane to succeed Dr. T. J. Strait, of Lancaster, on May 10. Dr. Williams immediately resigned as a member of the board of regents and the governor appointed Mr. Christie Benet, of Columbia, 'to succeed him. Dr. Williams has accepted. His salary will be $6,000. Dr. Williams is J59 years of age and a native of Yorkville. He is a graduate of the University of Maryland. For four years he was secretary of the board of health and since then he has engaged in private practice in the city of Columbia. The governor last night announced that he had revoked the appointment of Dr. George F. Sargent, of Maryland, to be superintendent of the asylum, because of constitution al objections. Relative to the appointment of Dr. C. Fred .Williams as superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, Governor .Manning gave out the following statement: Governor's Statement. "Following 'the revocation of the appointment of Dr. George F. Sargent, of Baltimore, as superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, because it was found that he was barred by provisions of the constitution. I have appointed Dr. C. Fred Williams, of Columbia, as superintendent. "Dr. Williams has resigned as regent of this institution, and 'I have appointed Mr. Christie Benet as regent in his stead. "The salary provided for in the appropriation bill is 3.000, and the superintendent is given a house with water and lights and other perquisites. I have found it necessary, in order to get the trained, skilled phy sician I was seeking for the position to allow a salary of $6,000, but without the residence and without any perquisites. In addition to the salary provided for in the appropriation bill. I will personally borrow monthly the balance of the salary, standing security for the same and will report the matter next year to the legislature, to reimburse nie if it agrees in what 1 have (tone. "The date which Dr. Williams will assume the duties of superintendent will !>e announced in a few days." Kig'M There With a Substitute. We gazed pityingly on the listless drug store clerk, leaning against the soda counter. "Haven't you any ambition?" we queried kindly and all that. "No." he replied, with brightening intelligence: "but I have something just as good."?Philadelphia Ledger. I DIVKIt (JOES DOWN 288 FEET. And Walks on Top of Lost Submarine, K-4. Honolulu, April 1 4.?Chief Gunner's .Mate Crillev went 288 feet under water here today and walked on the top of the submarine F-4. which disappeared .March 2"?. The depth is said by naval officers to be a world's diving record. Crilley found the F-4 lying on a smooth, sandy bottom with no coral growths to impede hoisting operations. She lay on her starboard side, her bow pointing shoreward. Two parted lines were found attached to the craft. It was said further observations probably would be made before an attempt is made to raise the r-4. The diver went down in an ordinary diving suit and the recompression chamber designed to reduce pressure on him was not used. The Way to Boston. The tramp was now eleven miles from Boston, says a writer in the Youth's Companion. The condition of his pockets was such that there Vas no way for him to reach the city without further wear of his shoes. Several automobiles had rushed past him towards the city, but, although j he had looked at them appealingly. I the drivers had made no sign that! they were willing to help the footsore pedestrian. He grew a little bitter as he put one foot up and the other down on the dusty road. Finally, he was hailed by the driver of a car. "Hey. there, do you know the way! to Boston?" "Yes. just follow me. I am going: there." The driver grinned. The weary tramp reached Boston in twenty nunuies. Xot on the Job. The following story, the chief ac-j tor in which is still alive, would seem to justify the term "canny," some times applied to the Scot. An old retired Fifeshirt farmer; was from time to time called on ad-, vised to insure his house against fire by an agent who was familiarly known as "Sandy." The old man, however, met the agent's advances with "Na, na!" following by what he doubtless considered a clinching argument: "My hoose is no likely to gang on fire, mon!" The unexpected, however, happened, and the neighbors were astonished to see the old man. instead of trying to put out the fire, running up and down the village, shouting: "Whaur's that man Sandy, noo? Whaur's that insurance chap? It's terrible ye can never get a body! when ye're needin' *im!"?London J Opinion. PLANS OF PROHIBITIONISTS. I?ropose Stumping State in Interest of Iteferendum. Columbia, April iy.? ine rronibitionists are planning a stump speaking tour of the State this summer in anticipation of the referendum on September 14 on the qu tion of State-wide prohibition, according to the Rev. C. E. Burts, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church of Columbia, one of the leaders for a "dry" State. Dr. Burts says that the cause will be taken to the people and they plan a thorough canvass of the State. Prohibition organizations have already been perfected in the colleges throughout the State and organizations will be formed in every mill village and in each community of the State. The prohibition leaders, while confident that the cause will carry, do not propose to allow interest to lag, and will do all in their power to get the voters to turn out and to roll up a good majority. The prohibition leaders will be as-1 sisted by leaders of national reputa- j tion. and several of these will be seen i on the stump in South Carolina the! coming summer. The active speaking campaign will probably begin in the early summer and continue right up to the election on September 14. His Father's Caste. Private Hodges sat in his tent trying to clean his rifle, according to The London Chronicle. "Here!" he shouted, running out, "Wanted in the orderly room," said the sergeant: and Hodges followed him with bulging eyes and a sad heart. But he cheered up when the adjutant addressed him thus: "I have a letter from your father, lie is anxious to purchase your dis charge, as he needs you to help him in his business." remarked the adjutant looking at him keenly. "Now. Private Hodges, what is your father's walk in life?" Hodges' eyes bulged more than ever. P-please. sir." he blurted, "he's b-b-bandy." BANKRUPT'S PETITION FOR DIS CHARGE.
