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.

GERMANY'S INTERNED SHIPS.
There Are More Than $100,000,000
Worth in American Ports.
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.

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

stove lid or brick may be placed in
the bottom, and food vessel put on

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.

Expeditions That Failed.
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

Out of Danger.
An eminent Englishman of science
delivered a lecture in which an
amusing incident occurred. In the
course of his remarks he said:
"It is a well established fact that
the sun is gradually losing its heat,
and that in the course of seventy taillion
years its heating power will be
* 1 - J ^ -.11
so aimimsnea iiiai mi ucucu^cuv effects
will be lost and no life can
exist on earth."
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."?

dition lost its bearings and arrived
off Donegal. 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.
The next landing of arms was that of
the Fanny early in 1914, before
the breaking out of the world's war,
when the vessel landed a cargo of
arms made in Germany for the use
of Sir Edward Carson's army of Ulstermen.?Indianapolis

Better Off.
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."?

Terse Postscript.
Com. Chandler, of the navy, at
one time had in his family a little
negro boy who was not very busy.
One day, Mrs. Chandler was busy and
sent Johnny into the next room.
"You may take your slate and pencil,"
she said, "and write me a letter."
I The boy obeyed. By and by there
came a shrill call: "Please, missus,
I'se got it wroted. It says: 'Dear
Missus?Kin I go down to the tennis
j court and see them play tennis? Rej
spectfully yours, Johnny.' "
| Mrs. Chandler was not ready to adI
mit him as yet, so she replied: "Oh,
well, write me a postscript."
' Again a silence, so prolonged that
finally she went into the room to in
vestigate. There was no boy there.
The slate lay on the chair face upward.
She read the message he had
first called out, and underneath it
this addition:
