Daniels Signs Order tor Construction
of Aircraft at Washington Yard.
Washington, Oct. 27.?Secretary j
% i 1
Daniels signed an order today for the
^ "Construction at the navy yard here
of a giant biplane for the navy, the1
first aircraft to be built at any gov-1
ernment establishment. Plans for j
* Ki? nli'V I
the, macnine were cu u * u? j i
I r engineers under the direction of
Navy Constructor H. C. Richardson,;
a qualified air pilot.
The craft will have a carrying cat
pacity of 2,200 pounds and will make!
from 50 to 80 miles an hour for a!
/ period of seven hours without stop.
It will be driven bv two SO-horse
power motors. When completed the
machine will almost equal in size the
great French battle airships recently
constructed, and it is understood the j
navy ordnance bureau is at work on!
the design of a three-inch gun with
which it can be equipped if desired.
k In a statement describing the aeroplane
Secretary Daniels said its carrying
capacity could he used for,
transporting fuel, weapons or high j
explosives, and it would be of great
ir\npr Tanee scouting. Itj
vaiuv ivi >uuS ??_
has been suggested, too, that an
aeroplane of this character might be

VIVISECTION,
Attention Called to Address of Cincinnati
Health Officer.
& . The Sun desires to call attention
to a recent address by Dr. Landis,;
v -health <officer of Cincinnati, before;
u the American Public Health associa|
tion on the "Influence of ExperiL
ments on Animals on Mortality." The,
f -^ doctor offers some data that must
convince our readers and imbue them
with the importance of encouraging
- . their representatives in the legisla'f
. . " ture to resist the inane pleas of those
who are honestly but stupidly opposed
to vivisection, says the New
York Sun. When the Almighty
placed Adam into a deep sleep, says
k ; v . this doctor facetiously, and extracted
a rib, He qualified as the first and
C greatest vivisectionist of all time.
i
,v- y- Not man alone, but animals of
? great value are rescued from disease
; and death by vivisection experiments.
" " - - * , ? _ o
> "v In England $450,000,000 worm 01
cattle succumbed to pleuro-pneumonia
in the first quarte/of the last
p? ; - century, and in our country the cattie
industry was almost ruined. Its
?' ; prevention by experiments on living
animals resulted in an almost entire
elimination of the disease. Although
it cost the United States $1,500,000,
it brought about the almost
entire abolition of the disease,
ceitainly the possibility of fatal epidemies.
Glanders, hog cholera, boV
\ tuberculosis have destroyed millions
worth of food and draught animals
that are now saved through animal
experimentation.
Since these zoophils love and re;
. gard more sympathetically their fa^
vorite animal than their own fellows,
such facts should convince them of
their folly. The discovery of antitoxin
through vivisection has comJ
pletely reversed the mortality from
> this dread disease.' The inestimable
value of tetanus antitoxin is daily
. :V-V ,.
! demonstrated in the European war.
: The triumphs of modern surgery
i:-\ have been made possible only
through vivisection ;' the buried suture
cost the life of one horse, the
? catgut ligature cost one calf, the
> < electric bath cure of lead poisoning
cost one dog. Dr. Flexner was compelled
to sacrifice 25 little monkeys
and 100 innocent guinea pigs to produce
the serum that is robbing meningitis
of its terrors. How many
rats and fleas were sacrificed in the
discovery of the cause of bubonic
plague we hesitate to state. The
most vile and destructive blood disease
is now controlled through the
606 animal experiments of Ehrlich.
\ Although the an$is are less interested
in the expenditure of human
life and- suffering, it is revelant to
mention here that three experiment
ers. found it necessary to nave mm-1
- selves bitten by infected mosquitos!
to demonstrate the cause of yellow;
fever. Thus did Drs. Carrol, Reed
and Lazear become martyrs that their;
fellows might be able to live in the;
tropics and that a new South might;
arise to bless thousands. What has'
been the reward? One of these
benefactors of mankind, Dr. Carrol,
would turn in his grave if he knew
that the meagre pension allowed his
family precludes the proper education
of his children. Here is a fruitful
field for jeal philanthropy. The
South would do well to reward the
martyr Carrol posthumously.
It is to be hoped that the convinc*
ing proof of the life-saving value of;
animal experimentation above fur-;
nished may sink deep into the minds;
of our readers, especially those whoj
will next winter be besieged by ex-:
cited reformers.

WE ft LATE IX I DECEMBER.
Statement Issued at Wliite House to
' Quiet Speculation.
Washington, Nov. i.?It was formally
announced today at the white
house that the marriage of President
Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait will
take place "near the close of December"
and that it will be private at
Mrs. Gait's home here.
This statement was issued by Secretary
Tumulty:
"In ordei* to quiet speculation,
President Wilson and Mrs. Norman
ffcalt. todav authorized the announce
ment that their marriage will take
place near the close of December,
Their plans are for a very simple
ceremony. It will be quietly performed
at Mrs. Gait's residence. No
invitations will be issued, and it is
expected that the only guests will be
the members of the two families,"
The Rock of Gibraltar.
The rock of Gibraltar, taking into
consideration the far-carrying guns
that are now being cast, will be even
of greater importance because of its
commanding position at the mouth
t
of the Mediterranean, where that sea
is little more than 20 miles wide?
about as wide as from Calais to
Dover. Gibraltar was captured by
the British July 24, 1.704, and from
that day has not been out of British
hands. At first little was thought
of the importance of this stronghold.
For the succeeding nine years
the Spaniards made repeated attempts
to recapture it. On one occasion
they nearly succeeded. A
French and Spanish force having
been collected on the'isthmus' that
joins the rock of the mainland, a
}
goatherd offered to show them a
path up the sloping sides of the rock,
which he had reason to believe was
unknown to the British. This offer
was accepted. Five hundred troops
ascended quietly one night and took
shelter in a hollow called by the
Spaniards "the little chair/' At
daybreak next morning they ascend,
ed higher, took the signal station,
killed the guard nand. anxiously looked
for expedted reinforcements. The
reinforcements failed to arrive. The
armed garrison sailed out and drove
the invaders down the rock. "The
little chair" was filled up and the
place made stronger than ever. All
subsequent attempts to capture the
rock have failed.. One of them was
a siege by Spain and France, beginning
in 1779, and not terminating
until September, 1783.?Chicago
Journal.
Split~Lo? I)rag Needed.
It was pleasant motoring from
Denmark to Barnwell yesterday (Friday)
after the rain that had fallen
all of Wednesday night and Thursday.
The roads were good, but not
ideal, t They needed dragging, which
have hw?n done Friday morn
DUUU1U X*M.?V
ing. Such work would have put the
road from Blackville to Barnwell in
first class condition. Why should we
do a good piece of work, then let it
go to pieces for lack of proper care?
This is the poorest kind of economy.
It is a practice that has been the
cause of much of backwardness, private
and public. .
The road from Denmark to Blackville,
while tolerably good, is no such
a highway as the Blackville-Barnwell
road. It is not as well made nor as
wide. On this trip one notices that
the county roads are better kept than
the streets in the towns, Denmark,
Blackville and Barnwell. The streets
of Blackville, though, are better than
the other two.
This trip takes one through as fine
looking country as one could wish to
look upon?fine for its possibilities.
As it is now, the agricultural condition
is anything but agreeable to see.
Farms for five miles out of Denmark
are fairly well worked and the crops
are good, but thl lands along the
balance of the way have been turned
out to weeds and grass, or where
planted hate been poorly worked.
And, furthermore, there are too few
people living on the roads especially
from Blackville to Barnwell. What
a garden this would be were there a
farm home for every 100 ares of
land, both sides of the way between
these two towns. When we think
that there are plenty of industrious
white men in South Carolina, without
homes, who, if they had half a
chance, could purchase these lands
and make them blossom, we are depressed.
We people of South Carolina must
suffer a change in our ideals of life.
Where one owns great bodies of land,
rented out and poorly tended, caring,
thinking nothing of others, just so he
gets his rents and can live in ease
and idleness, that country will not
prosper. Put the lands, by ownership,
into the hands of the people
and then we will have good homes,
good schools and good churches all
along these desolate stretches of
country roads; and fields that are
smiling under the touch of real human
interest and industry.?J. D.
Huggins, in Barnwell People.

One day, while her grandfather
was paying a visit to Florence's
home, the little girl said to him:
"Grand'pa, your talk about 'pe'rserverance
winning' is all nonsense."
"Well, well, child!" cried the
i
grandfather, "why do you say that?" J
"Why," said the little girl, "I've
worked all the afternoon blowing
soap bubbles and trying to pin them
in mother's hat."
Two Hundred and Fifty Stories. j
I
I
And every story a good one. They j
are entertaining, but that is not all j
you can say about them. You know i
there is hardly a periodical published ,
that is -nof full ^ of time-wasting j
stories, but not a single story in The j
Youth's Companion is a time waster.
Take the stories of C. A. Stephens.
It would be hard to pick out one from
which you cannot learn something j
useful and yet entertaining.
Some of The Companion stories refresh
your knowledge of geography; j
some tell you the mysteries of chemistry,
some reveal the secrets of forestry
and of general farming. They
cover a wide range. They are chosen
with an eye to the possible
liking of every member of
a Companion family?stories of
vigorous aotion and stirring adventure
for boys, stories of college life
and domestic vicissitudes for girls,
stories that range all the way from
sheer drollery to deep seriousness for
men and women. There are no
-stories quite like those in The Companion.
If you are not familiar with The
Companion as it is today, let us send
you sample copies and the Forecast
for 1916.
New subscribers who send $2.00
for 1916 will receive free a copy of
The Companion Home Calendar for
1916, in add' in to all the remaining
1915 issues from the time the
subscription is received.
