^ PALESTINE A XKl'TKAL LAM). I
Lord Bryte Urges Tliat It lie Preserved
as a Shrine. v
A demand for the complete neutralization
of the Holy Land, which lias.
been growing in strength since the'
entry of Turkey into the war, and'
which would take away Palestine i
from the dominion of the Ottoman, ;i
' and conserve and develop it as a :
shrine and museum for mankind. i<
lends fresh interest to the observa- i
tion upon this center of world pii- ;
grimage, recently prepared by James :
Bryce, former British ambassador to;:
[ the United States, tor tne .\auoiiai i
g Geographic Society. That Palestine,^
after all, would not be so great a |j
% ' reservation for mankind, in point or j!
area, appears in the comments Oiji
Lord Bryce upon its size:
"Palestine is a tiny little country.
Though the traveler's handbooks pre- i
pare him to find it small, it surprises ;
him by being smaller than he expected.
Taking it as the region between
f the .Mediterranean on the west and
the Jordan and the Dead sea on the
east. from, the spurs of Lebanou and
Hermon on the north to the desert of
Beersheba on the south, it is only 110
miles long and from to 60 broad?
that is to say, it is smaller than New
Jersey, whose area is T.iioO square
miles.
"Of this region large parts did not
really belong to Israel. Israel had,
in fact, little more than the hill country,
which lay between the Jordan on
the east and the maritime plain on
the west. King David, in the days
of his power, looked down from the
i ' hill cities of Benjamin, just north of
Jerusalem, upon Philistine enemies
^ only 25 miles off, on the one side.
^ and looked across the Jordan to iloabite
enemies about as far off. on the
other.
"Nearly all the events in the history
of Israel that are recorded in
the Old Testament happened within
a territory no bigger than the State
of Connecticut, whose area is 4,S00
sQuare miles; and into hardly any
other country has there been crowded
from the days of Abraham till our
^ 5 own time so much history?that is
to say, so many events that have been
recorded and deserve to be recorded
in the annals of mankind."
Nor is the Palistine of today so
beautiful or so rich a country, as was
painted by the Jews just emerging
from the barren, comfortless desert.
Its centuries of misgovernment and
warfare have mightily assisted its
somewhat stepmotherly nature in
crushing out development, according
* to Lord Bryce;,wherefore the presentday
proposal that this land at last be
given rest and opportunity by neutralizing
it and making it the care of
all the nations is overdue. Palestine
i6 a land of ancient strife and seldom-interrupted
slaughter. Lord
Bryce explains, and more than 14
centuries of sad misrule have done
their fatal work upon its physical ap>?
pearance.
> Palestine is a country poor in any
natural resources. There are practically
no minerals, no coal, no iron,
no copper, no silver, though recently
some oil wells have been discovered
L in the Jordan valley. Neither are
Fij there any large forests, and though
[ the land may have been better wooded
in the days of Joshua than it is
^' now, there is little reason to think
J 9 that tjie woods were of trees sufficiently
large to constitute a source
of wealth. A comparatively small
area is fit for tillage.
"Such wealth as the country has
consists in its pastures, and the expression
"a land flowing in milk and
honey' appropriately describes the
best it has to offer, for sheep and
goats can thrive on the thin herbage
U; 11 ~ am/1
^ ma.1 mc initd, aiiu wir- luuici-|
ous aromatic plants furnish plenty j
of excellent food for bees: but it is;
nearly all thin paeture, for the land
I is dry and' the soil mostly shallow.
The sheep and goats vastly outnumber
the oxen."
Lord Bryce contrasts the beauty of
Greece and Palestine. In both lands,
; he says, the traveler ~finds charm
* everywhere because of the traditions
and history that hallow them. In
irpactical reality, however, a great
part of Greece is painfully dry and
bare, and there is little striking beauty
to be found in the Holy Land. The
reverence and piety for spots hallowed
by religious associations which
the pilgrim brings to the places
' through which he wanders in Palestine.
Lord Bryce says, causes him to
see this land through a golden haze
[ that makes it appear lovely,
r "But," he continues, "the scenery
of the Holy Land, taken as a whole
(for there are exceptions), is inferior,
both in form and in color, to that of
northern and middle Italy, to that of
Norway and Scotland, to that of the
coasts of Asia Minor, to that of nianv
. parts of California and Washington."
Lord Bryce then sums up this Palestine
in which the whole world is interested.
yet which, in itself, apparently
has so little wherewith to
awaken interest:
"If Palestine is not a land of natural
wealth nor a land of natural beaut
ty, what is it? What are the impresr

(illAUK CROSSING MKASI'liK.
Governor Si^iK Hill (iiviujx Authority
to It. it. Commission.
Columbia, May ?Governor Manning
12)is morning signed the bill
passed by the recent session of the
general assembly giving the railroad
commission authority over grade
crossings of railroads. The commission
under the bill has the power to
order dangerous crossings eliminated
or otherwise pass such regulations
and rules as they might deem best
for the safety and welfare of the
people.
Governor Manning went to Orangeburg
this afternoon to attend a meeting
of the board of trustees of tiie
State Colored college tonight. On
Saturday the governor goes to Cnion.
where he will deliver the address on
Memorial day. He will go up on the
early morning train and return in the
afternoon on the Carolina Special.

Burning Home.
Sumter, May 0.?A residence on
North Main street was burned last
night about midnight, the fire catching
from an unknown cause. The
house was owned by R. J. Bland and
occupied by A. \Y. Ledingham and
family, who barely escaped with their
lives, the plasiering having fallen in
when they awakened. Nothing was
saved except tut clothing which they
giabbed as the> left the building. The
loss was estimated at $3,000, with insurance
on the building of $ 1,800 and
a small amount on the household
coods.

sions which the traveler who tries to
see it exactly as it is carries away
with him? Roughly summed up,
they are these: stones. ca\;es. tombs,
ruins, battlefields, sites hallowed by
practical reality, however, a great
phere of legend and marvel. In no
other country are there so many
shrines of ancient worship, so many
spots held sacred?some sacred to
Jews, some to Christians, some to
Mussulmans. Neither has any other
country spots that still draw a multitude
of pilgrims, not even Belgium
and Lombardy, each a profusion of
battlefields."
From the moment that the traveler
steps ashore at Jaffa, where he is
shown the fabled rock to which Andromeda
was chained when Perseus
rescued her from the sea monster,
and the ribs of the great fish that
disgorged the Prophet Jonah, until
he leaves some Palestine popt for
home, he is yi a wonderful bewildering
atmosphere which is steeped in
legend and marvel. He wanders in
the valley over which the sun and
moon stood still at the command of
Joshua, and thence every step of his
wanderings leads him ever deeper into
the maze of remarkable ancient
history and tradition, religious association.
and an environment of myriad-phased
mystic lore of centuries
of accretion.

began to feel better, and after usina: ?
seven filty-cent botrtes. was entirely}^
cured and have had no Kidney trou- :
