Thursday, May 25, 1916. fThe old Confederate vetrans will meet in Washington, D. C., next year in annual reunion. This will be the ; . nearest "yankee" city yet visited by I the Southern veterans. It is to be hoped that their stay in the capital city will be as pleasant as they an|p ticipate. . j ?^ j Hon: John L. McLaurin is a good f politician. If he could get before the people of the State this summer in the primaries, he could do a lot tofward restoring the people's confidence in him; thus paving the way nicely to get back into the politics cf the State. I William Jennings Bryan stands for _ . I tne renomination of Woodrow Wil$ son by acclamation. Somehow, we feel that Bryan is not exactly thvJ fe calibre of man that many of his for-l jp mer admirers thought he was when : he left the president to thrash out ?|J his diplomatic troubles without his fer assistance. i I I Are to understand that the I Democracy of the State is in favor of * woman suffrage? The State conven-f K tion passed without opposition that 0 portion of the party platform which A V" says: "We commend' to our legislature for its earnest consideration the question of equal suffrage." The ladies who addressed the convention I on equal suffrage must have made a splendid impression on the delegates. Governor Manning is as versatile . as he is popular. A short time ago f he made an address at a school closfej > ing at Cold Spring, in Edgefield coun|?; y ty?a community seven or eight miles % "f from,a railroad; a few days later he made a memorial address at Sweet-1 , i water, & country church, in Aiken county; and the other day he was the most popular man in Charlotte, N. C., excepting only the president fof the United States. j v-;- Patronize home industries. It you have laundry, have it laundered" in Bamberg; if you want letter heads or envelopes, have them printed by The Herald; if you want a coat suit or hat, buy it at one of the several excellent ladies' furnishing stores in Bamberg; and when you want a suite of furniture, you had better not send to Chicago to get it?there are sev eral good furniture dealers in town who need this business; etc. _ _ . ' It required ten hours for the monster "preparedness parade" in New York, city to pass a given point. There were- 132,000 persons in the line of march?this being the greatest parade in the history of this country. The English government officially places the nuruber of Germans killed in the present war at 700,000. If this army of dead Ger I mans were in a line of march, it would require five days of ten hours each for it to pass a given point. . Senator Tillman intimated the other day in a speech in the U. S. senate that he would not be a candidate for reelection two years hence. Whether you are an admirer of Ben Tillman or not, one cannot but feel a tinge of sadness upon the retirement from Palmetto political life of "Pitchfork Ben." He has fought bat" - tie after battle, ana wagea war indiscriminately, whenever occasion demanded^ in the halls of congress. Tillman, it is safe to say, at one time or another in his political career, has been voted for by perhaps ninety-five per cent, of the Democrats of South Carolina; and there is doubtless not another man in history who holds this record. .

If diDlomatic relations are severed between the United States and Germany as a result of the kaiser's methods of undersea warfare, it really means eventual war between the two countries, followed by the immediate seizure by Uncle Sam of the $100,000,000 worth of German passenger vessels now lying in our harbors. Non-intercourse, in the sense of terminating diplomatic relations is a usual, but not inevitable prelude to war?but, as a matter of fact, declares Coudert, "between great countries, such a situation is usually followed by war. "Now let us trace the probable progress of relations between the United States and Germany after the adoption of the policy of non-intercourse. "In the event of such a rupture between Germany and the United States?if it went no further?there would not necessarily be any change in the status of Americans in Germany or of Germans in America. Our diplomatic representatives, before leaving the country, would turn over the protection of our citizens and the archives of our embassies and consulates to those of some other power." In the port of New York there are |? 29 vessels; Boston, 8; Baltimore,3; San Francisco, 2; Philadelphia, 3; Norfolk, 2; Galveston, 2; Seattle, 1; New Orleans, 3; Savannah, 1; Honolulu, 8; Hilo, 1; Pensacola, 3; Jacksonville, 1; Tampa, 1. Fifteen are owned by the North German Lloyd line and 25 by the Hamburg-American company. The giant Vaterland, rated at 54,282 tons gross, with accommodations for 3,000 persons, is the biggest and they range all the way down to the Neptune, at San Francisco, 197 gross tons. i Rev. Hardin in Columbia. A protracted meeting of much interest is being held in the Main Street Methodist church this week. The attendance is increasing daily. The Rev. H. Grady Hardin, pastor of the Methodist church at Denmark, is conducting the services. Mr. Hardin is a young preacher of the South Carolina conference and is no stranger to many people in Columbia, most of his life having been spent in Batesburg. Mr. Hardin is a very forceful speaker. While a student at Wofiford fcollege he was chosen to represent the college in the State oratorical contest, he winning first place in this. His sermons are well prepared and well delivered. His appeals to the .young people are strong and fervid. Many have already signified their intention of leading a new life. From present indications the church will be visitState. I Making and Use of Fireless Cooker. The principle of the fireless cooker is to retain heat, by first boiling the food for a few minutes, then placing it in the cooker, which does not allow the heat to escape. Prepare the food in the usual way, bring to boiling point over the fire; then place in cooker. The advantages are finer flavored and more wholesome ^foods, fuel saving and the comfort of having a cool kitchen with time and labor saved for other duties. | Select a tight wooden box, old trunk, lard tub or can for the outside container, and a smaller one for * 1 i- . ^^ ) the "well." There snouia ue space enough between them for about four inches of packing all around. Line the box with layers of paper to keep out the cold air; place a layer of cotton seed hulls in-the bottom, put in the smaller bucket, then pack all around with the hulls, very tightly. Then cut a piece of cardboard to fit the space at the top, cutting out a circle to open the "well," the space between the top of the "well" and the lid of the outside container should be filled with a cushion stuffed with the hulls and made to fit exactly. The lid may be fastened * down with screw hooks and eyes at intervals around the top. For the food vessel any utensil with a tight cover may be used. An enamel or aluminum one may be bought for A hpafpri snaD stone <LfV\> tu V. AA. ? ? x stove lid or brick may be placed in the bottom, and food vessel put on top. Hominy grits: 1 cup grits, 5 cups water, 1 teaspoon salt. Have the salted water boiling and add grits slowly, cook ten minutes, ""place in cooker and allow to remain over night, for breakfast. Rice and oatmeal may be cooked in a similar manner, though the rice will be done in about an hour. Roast of beef or chicken may be seasoned, browned in fat, then add 1 cup boiling water, cook ten minutes, then place in fireless cooker. A tough roast or old fowl may be cooked tender, with all juices retained. MRS. B. W. FAUST. PERSONAL MENTION.

The failure of Sir Roger Casement's expedition to land arms on the Irish coast and his capture again makes good the saying that ''Ireland is the land of forlorn expeditions." Time after time attempts have been made to land arms and men, tnese attempts always ending in failure. In December, 1796, the French general, Hoche, accompanied by the Irish patriot, Wolfe Tone, headed an expedition of 6,500 men, well equipped with munitions, including 41,000 muskets to arm the Irish people, arrived at Bantry Bay, but failed to land and sailed back to Brest. In August, 1798, Gen. Humbert with 1,000 French troops in three frigates appeared in Killala Bay. The Irish peasantry failed to join them and seventeen days later he surrendered to the English. The three frigates meanwhile had returned to France and taken on another body of troops under Gen. Savary. He heard of Humbert's fate and decided not to land. In September, 1798, Napper Tandy landed near Arran with forty-five French soldiers, a supply of arms and revolutionary proclamations. The Irish failed to rise. In the same month an expedition consisting of nine vessels failed to land troops in Killala Bay. On October 12 they met the English fleet and the whole expedition was captured. Among those on board was Wolfe Tone, an officer in the French service. As he was of Irish birth he was court-martialed as a traitor and sentenced to be shot. He committed suicide by opening a vein in his neck with a penknife. These failures seem to have discouraged the idea of using Ireland as a base for attacking England and it was not until April, 1867, during the Fenian excitement, that another at- [ tempt was made. This was the Jacknel expedition which sailed from New York on a brigantine of that name. There were 5,000 rifles on board and three small field pieces. The crew consisted of forty or fifty Irishmen who had served in the federal army during tne civil war. The name of the vessel was changed to Erin's Hope. The green banner with the Fenian sunburst was hoisted and the commander, John F. Kavanaugh, who had been a general in the federal army, distributed Fenian commissions in the name of the Irish Republic. It was intended to land I on the coast of Sligo, but the expe SOMETHING NEW IN NARCOTICS. Plant Chewed by Indians Contains Properties Like Opium. Discovery that the roots and blossoms of a plant known as peyote, chewed by the Indians of the Uinta basin, confain properties like unto opium and which are deadly in their effect, has been made by Herman Harms, Utah State chemist. So seriously does Mr. Harms regard the menace of the weed that he recommends that the next legislature take proper steps to include the plant in the list of prohibited narcotics. P.eyote constitutes tne anea roots and dried blossoms of a small cactus plant t^hat grows in the southwestern section of the United States. Some of it grows in Utah, notably in the Ulina basin. Ute Indians, many of them, are habitual users of peyote and some include it in certain forms of their religious ceremonies. "At the present time," Chemist Harms says in his report to the governor of Utah, "the Ute Indians hold their 'peyote service' every Saturday night until Sunday morning at Randlette, Utah, and from all accounts this evil habit is growing at a rapid rate with decidedly demoralizing effects on these people." The growth of the use of peyote among the Indians and the subsequent effect upon them attracted the attention of some of the white residents of the Uinta basin, including Senator Don B. Colton. He called the attention of Gov. Spry to the matter and the governor ofdered an immediate and thorough investigation. Peyote is something new in the way of narcotics, as Mr. Harms found out during the investigation. Here is a cactus plant, common enough in the Western States, that contains juices as powerful as opium or morphine. Both the roots and blossoms of the Devote Dlant are chewed by the In dians after the manner in which Perruvians derive tlie effects of cocaine from chewing cocoa leaves.. The blossoms are more delectable in the eyes of the victims of the habit than roots. At first peyote causes a great state of mental exhilaration and excitement. Then it deadens the senses, produces abnormal dreams, is demoralizing and finally this peyote causes the Indians to remain drunk or in a stupor for two or three days. Peyote was first introduced under the form of a religious ceremony, and during the singing and dancing it was passed around until the Indians were drunk with it. It contains, among other constituents, an alkaloidal principle to which, no doubt, is due the powerful narcotic action upon the human system. Its indiscriminate use produces a demoralizing, harmful and depraved condition:^?Salt LaketMty correspondence Philadelphia Record. Out of Danger.

As this sentence was uttered a worried-looking man at the rear of the hall rose and signified his desire to ask a question. "Pardon me," he said, "but how long did you say it would be before this terrible calamity would occur?" "Why, about seventy million years," replied the scientist. The questioner fell back into his seat with a sigh of relief. "Thank heaven!" he muttered, "I thought you said seven million."? Boston Globe.

No news could be had of any uprising in Ireland but twenty-eight men landed and the others sailed for America, short of food and water, and after a voyage of 107 days from New York returned with the entire cargo of arms and ammunition. Two of the twentyeight men wbo landed in Ireland, Warren and Costello, though born in j Ireland were naturalized citizens of j the United States. This saved them j from the extreme penalty, but they were sentenced to long terms of imnrisonment. Ultimately they were released and sent back to America.

A political office in a small United States town was vacant. The office paid $250 a year and there was keen competition for it.. The Democratic candidate, Ezekiel Banks, was a shrewd old fellow, apd a substantial campaign fund was got together for him. To the astonishment of all, however, he was defeated. "I can't account for it," said one of the Democratic leaders, gloomily, i "With that money we should have won. How did you lay it out, Ezekiel?" "Well," said Ezekiel, slowly, scratching his head, "yer see, that j office only pays $250 a year salary, and I didn't see no sense in paying $900 out to get the office, so I just bought me a little farm instead."?
