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?"?

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.

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

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."

WONDERFUL RECOVERY
I wish to inform you of the grea
benefit I have derived from the us
of Swamp-Root. I had been a suffers
for more than twenty years from kic
ney and liver trouble and was almos
constantly treated by the most em
nent physicians who could only giv
me temporary relief. I had been i
bed ten weeks when I began the us
of Swamp-Root, inside of twent:
four hours I could see that I ha
been greatly benefited. I 'continue
to use Swamp-Root until I had use
several bottles when I'really felt the
my old trouble was completely cure
and I am positive that any perso
suffering with kidney or liver troi
ble can be cured by the use of thj
preparation.
I am now in the best of healtl
better than I have been for ten year
or more. I do not know how to e>
press myself as strongly as I desin
in favor of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Rooi
as I am sure that it saved my life an
that my good health is due entirel
to this great remedy. I heartil
recommend it to every sufferer an
am confident they can be benefite
as I have been. It is a pleasure fo
me. gentlemen, to hand you thi
recommendation.
