Weekly Weather Forecast.
Issued by the United States weather
bureau at Washing-ton, for the
week beginning Tuesday. May 25,
1915:
For the South Atlantic and East
Gulf States:
.. Fair weather will prevail, except
that occasional day thunderstorms
are probable in the Florida peninsula.
Temperatures will be normal or
slightly above.
We feel real sorry for all those
fellows who have been appointed delegates
to various conventions and
meetings at San Francisco. We do
not believe there is an expense fund
attached to any of the appointments.
f A dispatch- from Abbeville says
two children were poisoned last week
K.r ootinor "cnakfl" strawberries. We
should like for some of -our friends i
of the editorial fraternity who are i
learned in eatables to tell us just (
what "snake" strawberries are. t
|
There is a real need for a get-to- t
gether organization in Hamberg. t
There should be more cooperation ;
among the merchants and business t
men. A live trade organization could ,
accomplish wonders for the city.
There are many things that Bam- (
berg needs, and an organization of
this kind could go after these things
vigorously.
Ik-V
We know of some people
| who 'have not smilled in so a
long that we really believe it would L
injure the muscles of their faces to s
laugh. A long face never has brought j
business to any person, has never won
a friend. It takes a strong man or
. .. t
woman to smile sometimes in tne race
of adversity, yet a forced smile will .
do one a lot of good. The drummers .
are a jolly lot. They laugh and they 1
make others laugh. It is business ?
with them: they cultivate their humorous
natures. They greet a prospective
customer with a hearty laugh
and handshake, and it has undoubt- 1
edly a magnetic effect.
We extend our hand in congratula- t
tions to Editor Wigfall Cheatham, of
the Edgefield Chronicle. He has seen
the light. Hereafter he is going to
. sell his newspaper merchandise. The
Chronicle is a good paper, and it has '
wonderfully improved lately, and we 1
fully expect that with this.new rule a
put into effect further improvement 1
will be made. When a newspaper s
gives it^ space away promiscuously
an injury is done the whole newspa- 1
per fraternity, just the same as if
a merchant ^ave away groceries in- [
stead of selling them he would be *
ruining the business of all other mer?
chants. The following notice appear- 1
ed in the Chronicle last week:
After June first next, this paper
will discontinue the publication of 1
all free special notices, a rule which, r
in a measure, affects such religious,
fraternal and other kindred advertisements,
cards of thanks and obi- 1
tuaries, as we have sometimes hither- i
to run without charge. The rate for
such notices will be one cent per
word payable in advance.
While at first this may seem ex- *
t-onnlinopv it ic nr>t fin thP con- 1
uavi ujna? ,? , *V O uv?. - --
trary it is sustained by sound policy .
and established precedent. One has
only to glance over the columns of
the average country weekly to appreciate
the amount of space and
labor donated without price to enterprises
and organizations having j
no higher claim upon charity than .
commercial advertisers who pay res- ]
ularly for the same service. <
Now rhe Chronicle stands ready j
alwavs to coonerate actively, in the
furtherance of every worthy cause,
and believes it can best accomplish
this by placing at the disposal of our i
churches, lodges and other like or- ]
ganizations a column, or more if
necessary, in which each may insert
a standing notice of its time and
place of service or meetings. i

The recent sinking of the Lusitania
py a (lerman torpedo brings to mind
ui incident of our own civil strife in
lie t>"'s. in which the humanitarian
dde of the South is strongly contrasted
to the tactics employed in the
present war. In December. 18tI2.
A lien Rear Admiral Raphael Seninies,
Alio is now recognized by many foreign
powers as being one of the
greatest naval commanders the world
las produced, was cruising off Cuba,
the Ariel, a Yankee steamer owned
py Cornelius Yanderbilt. a bitter eneaiv
of the South, was sighted. It was
?specially desired by Seninies to destroy
this vessel, as Yanderbilt was
ioing all in his power to injure the
south. The Alabama. Admiral Semnes's
vessel, signalled the Ariel* to
surrender, but instead of surrenderng
she put on full steam in an effort
to escape capture. Senimes saw
:hat the Ariel had a large number
jf women and children on board, and
ivas at a loss as to how to proceed
without imperilling the passengers.
The Ariel had far greater speed than
:he Alabama, so Senimes ordered one
jf the Alabama's guns trailed on the
\riel. but was careful to instruct that
>nly the top mast was to be fired at.
rhe first shot tore away most of the
nast, and the Ariel immediately calculated.
Pandemonium reigned
imong the passengers, who knew the
ieadlv fire of the Alabama's ex
lerienced gunners. Senimes sent
iboard the Ariel a messenger to calm
:heir fears and assure them that inlocent
lives would not be sacreficed.
The Ariel also had on board 14 0 federal
soldiers. Senimes found that afer
the capture of the boat, he could
lot care for the passengers, so he
nade the Ariel a prisoner of war and
ook her in tow, hoping to capture
mother vessel within a few days to
:ake 011 the passengers and crew. No
ither vessel was encountered, and,
'or reasons not ascribed by Admiral
Senimes. he could not take the pris>ner
into port, so after holding her
is long as he could, he released the
Ariel, on a bond given by her comnander
that Vanderbilt would pay a
ertain sum. This bond was aftervarcf
repudiated, and was never paid,
t is a striking coincidence that Corlelius
Vanderbilt's son was among
he lost on the Lusitania. Admiral
Senimes was described many years afer
by the emperor of Germany as a
nodel sea commander, and commend?d
his conduct to his own naval offiers.

t long time. It happened one Sunlay

neffable tenderness into his noble

"Tom." she murmured, "didn't you
ell me once you would be willing to
lo any act of heroism for my sake?"
"Yes. Mary, and I would gladly reterate
that statement now." he redied.
"Xo Roman of old, however
?rave. was ever fired with a loftier

"Well, Tom, I want you to do somehing

"Speak, darling, what is it?"

"I can tell you."

Latest Idea of Sanitation Experts.
Chea|>er Than Linen or Cotton.
Paper dishes of every kind and paper
underclothing were very seriously
proposed as the next advance step
of sanitation among civilized peoples
by a noted hygienist before the congress
of sanitation, according to London
Tit-Bits. Substitute the fire for
the wash tub in every possible particular
of life, was his demand; and, to
show that such substitution was pos
sible now in a great many details, he
had obtained and he exhibited a great
quantity of samples of paper goods.
He quoted the results of an investigation
which showed that cups,
plates, bowls and other tableware,
taken as samples in hotels and
homes, had been found to be infected
with dangerous germs, even when
they were supposed to have been
thoroughly washed. And he told of
hospitals that have adopted the precaution
of giving vall the dishes, an
extra bath in a strong antiseptic mixture.
Accordingly, he suggested that the
doctors attending the congress should
advocate the general use of paper tablecloths,
paper napkins, paper
plates, cups, saucers and bowls, and
paper serving dishes; so that after
each meal most of the tableware
could be burned, leaving only a
small number of dishes and the silverware
to be boiled before they were
again used. Paper linings could be
used in indispensable china dishes.
The most novel pf his sanitation
ideas was that underclothing should
be made of paper and destroyed after
it has been used once. Paper under
I doming is entirely
and would not be much more expensive
than ordinary cotton underwear
at current laundry rates, and perhaps
as cheap as linen clothing.
Paper yarn is new, yet it is beginning
to be heard from in many textile
lines. Some kinds are almost as
stout as ordinary textiles, and are
made to withstand laundering. For
paper underolothing, however, a
cheap grade of paper yarn would be
satisfactory, yarn having only a small
proportion of the textile strength of
cotton or linen. As each garment
would be burned after it had become
soiled, there would be no occasion
to use yarn adapted for hard wear.
At the same time it would easily be
possible to make up paper yarns
that would be as smooth and absorbent
as cotton or linen.
Underclothes woven from such
yarn would be as comfortable as
could be desired. The hygienist estimated
that the cost of such a paper
garment, with the complete saving of
laundering costs, ought to make the
use of paper clothes for one wearing
not an extravagance.
It Looked Different.
"What a pretty hat .Mrs. Pinkey
wore this evening."
"Did you like it. dear?"
"Yes. it was very becoming. Why
don't you get hats like that?"
"You mustn't blame me if I laugh.
John. The hat you like is my hat.
Mrs. Pinkey borrowed it this evening.
It's the $30 hat you called a
fright."?Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Kidney Trouble Causes
Intense Suffering
Sixteen years ago I was taken sick
with Kidney trouble and suffered
terribly for three months. I did not
work during this time and was most- v
ly confined to the bed. After using
other remedies I finally tried a bot
tie of Swamp-Root. I immediately
began to feel better, and after using
seven fifty-cent botttes, was entirely
cured and have had no Kidney^trouble
since. I can truly say that I
owe my good health to Swamp-Root.
You may publish this letter for the
benefit of other people afflicted as I
was with the hope of bringing to
their attention this most wonderful .
remedy.
