HOW HUGHESES CELEBRATED. When Republican Victory Was in Sight They Had Great Time. Here's how Mr. Hughes and his family received the news of Republican "victory," according to the Charleston American: New York, Nov. 7.?At 9 o'clock tonight Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes ran to the side of her husband in their suite in the Hotel Astor, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. She repeated it three times. "I'm so glad, so glad," she cried. "You are the president of the United States." The little woman was weeping like a girl. Her husband, for the first time in the evening, showed traces of m K\r VllC einouuii pru>uivcu uivic uj uu life's fervor than by his own sense of victory?placed his arms around her and told her to be calm. The candidate's three daughters? Elizabeth. Helen and Catherine? were well-nigh hysterical. The candidate's son. Charles Evans, Jr., shook his hand wildly and placed his arm about the quiet man's shoulder. Dr. Colin Carter, Mrs. Hughes's brother, -was boyish in his delight and attempted no concealment of it. Miss Dorothy Radley, granddaughter of William C. Muschenheim, president of the hotel, entered the suite bearing a huge basket containing 100 American beauty roses. From the adjoining rooms there came a roar that was .nothing less - than a wild song of victory. On the roof of the hotel a huge American flag has been raised and from the corners fierce searchlights played upon it. Over the stone doors of the hotel an enormous electric sign had been hung and suddenly it flared alight with the letters H-U-G-H-E-S. From y the street below there came a riot of clamor. There arose a thousand N calls for "Hughes, Hughes." Thus the news came to Charles Evans Hughes. And for all the emotion he displayed?savfe for the moment when his wife wept happily before his eyes?he might have yet been the taciturn justice of the supreme court of the United States. In rooms nearby the one he occupied men were compiling tables. When the news came that the New York World, President Wilson's personal organ, conceded the election of the Republican candidate, the maddened men in the nearby rooms fell back in their chairs. It was for them, now, to merely figure up the number of electoral votes. Further conjectures were unnecessary. The three daughters sat at a window looking at the bulletin board. Aft thpv rp?d thpv shnnfpd thp npws to cheir father. But the more they raved, the wilder grew the excitement; the more studious became the face of the former justice. Once in a while his strong (teeth gleamed as his chances grew more roseate. Now and then he nodded his approval of the returns from Pennsylvania, New York, Maine. Illinois, Massachusetts and other great States. But he left it. for the others to enthuse. A high color in his cheeks was the only outward manifestation that he heard the acclaim of the throngs below or knew of the news that was pouring into the next room. How Teddy Felt About It. Here's Teddy's views on the "victory," according to the New York World: Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 7.?Beaming with pleasure, Col. Roosevelt tonight in his home at Sagamore Hill joyfully discussed the election returns and had the following to say: "In view of the latest returns I have received it appears Mr. Hughes is elected. I wish to express my profound gratitude as an American proud of his country. That the American people have repudiated the man who coined the phrase about this country that it is "Too Proud to Fight' and whose administration had done so much to relax the fibre of the American conscience and to dull the sense of honorable obligations in the American people. "We are all of us sincerely to be congratulated on the victory of Mr. Hughes. Let me add, in view of certain letters and telegrams which already have begun to come in to me, that I will not make any recommendations to Mr. Hughes for appointments, nor any requests about legislation." Col. Roosevelt waiting for the returns passed the evening at home with Mrs. Roosevelt. There were no visitors. Contemporary. "Miss Ann Teek has had her house furnished in colonial style." "Well, she ought to feel thoroughly at home amid such.surroundings." ?Philadelphia Ledger. Esther?Bill claims to beat up Jess Willard. Hester?Yep; called at his house one morning before he was up.?

They are as follows: Don't put oil in the engine without first making sure that it is free from dirt and lint. Don't race the engine when it is not drawing the car. There is no worse abuse. Don't neglect to keep the radiator filled with water. Also use a good anti-freeze solution in cold weather. Don't neglect your tires, use the pressure guage and maintain between 70 and 80 pounds pressure. Don't fail to inspect the level of liquid in the storage battery every two weeks. Don't drive with your feet on the clutch or brake pedals. Don't let your car stand with headlight full on. It is unnecessary and it runs your battery down. Don't drive fast on slippery streets. Don't drive with fully retarded spark. Don't start motor with wide open throttle or advanced spark. Don't neglect the lubrication of your car. Watch your pressure guage. Don't drive fast around turns or over rough roads. Don't apply brakes suddenly, except in cases of emergency. Don't attempt to shift into reverse gear when going ahead. Don't allow your clutch to engage suddenly. Don't drive on crowded thoroughfares until you thoroughly master the operation and driving of your car. Don't attempt to start motor with any of the transmission gears in mesh. Have gear shift lever in neutral. Don't leave your ignition switch "on" when the motor is not running. Don't tamper with your carburetor unless you know it is out of adjustment, and not even then unless you know just what you are doing. Don't fail to tighten up spring clip nuts at end of 800 or l,000^miles. Don't fail to tighten up all body bolts at end of every 800 to 1,000 miles. The Horse Xot Extinct. Prophecies are always interesting but often fail of fulfillment. JLong range prophecies are the safer, and the greater the range, the more confidently may be stated the particular prediction of the moment. This is suggested by the present high value of the farm horse which, according to a long range propnecy made upon the advent of the automobile, should now be a drag upon the market. The reverse is true, so another prophecy has failed of fulfillment and another prophet is classed amongst those without honor. The automobile is now almost universal? promises soon to be universal. The automobile plow is fast extending its sphere. With increased simplicity of construction and lowering of cost, the farm tractor will eventually rank with its city cousin, the motor car, as a competitor of man's most faithful and efficient friend?the horse. But in spite of the number of city cars and in spite of the fast increasing number of farm tractors, the horse is still here, and to venture a long prophecy will always be here. No matter how luxurious in appointment the automobile manufacturer may make his motor car: no matter ? * J U /\*t? /\ rvi ^ V* n I1UW Sllliyie ctliU liW" ciinJlciiL LJLIC farm tractor may become, the horse is not doomed to be classed with prehistoric animals but will continue to aid man in his struggle towards things that are better. The horse and man have been identified since time began, and the centaurs roamed the mountains of Thessaly. In that mythical halfhorse and half man race is found the symbol of their identity. Since those days man has advanced far but always his faithful friend kept pace with him. The horse has drawn the plough and without him the world's harvest would not have been. He is charged with his master into the hells of battlefields and has offered his life as a sacrifice without murmur. The horse is as courageous as his master, as affectionate as a woman, as faithful as a child. The motor car has not driven him from the hearts or the streets of the city. Neither will the automobile plow drive him from the pleasant fields of the country and as long as man remains on earth, so long will the horse remain with him.?Asheville Citizen. Going the Limit. "Did lie tell you that you are the only girl he has ever loved?" "Yes, and he went further than that." "He did? What else did he say?" "He said that I was the only girl he ever intended to love."?Life. ARTIFICIAL MILK AT LAST. Chinese Firm Manufacture it From Keans. Milk is being made from beans in China. This bean milk is not to be confused with the product known as chiang vu, a fermented sauce made from beans which is well known both as the soy of the Japanese and as one of the constituents of the famous sauces of Europe. Bean milk is made from small yellow beans, the same variety from which the Chinese bean curd and chiang yu soy are made. The process appears to be a very simple one. The beans are soaked and then crushed between two stones. The crushed mass is allowed to run off into a tub and is then strained through cheesecloth and diluted with water and boiled. After boiling it is again strained and the white milk run off into bot ties and sold to the factory's customers. An analysis of the beancured milk shows that it has a specific grafity of 1.020 and a fat content of 3.125, contrasted with a specific gravity of 1.029 and a fat content of 3.9 for good average cow's milk in America. The present bean milk factory is a small one. The proprietors report that they do all their work at night in order to have their milk fresh for delivery the following morning. They begin their work about 10 o'clock. The milk is ready and bottled by daylight, when it is sent out by coolies to the various customers. The room where the milk is made shows that no complicated machinery is necessary. At one end of the room are two of the small stone mills in which the beans are ground. Large numbers of bottles are arranged on a rack near the ball, clean and ready to receive the morning's supply of milk. At the opposite end of the room are three wooden vats built into a concrete foundation, which proved to be a furnace. The prepared product is poured into these vats and boiled, the furnace being supplied with fuel from a hole in the-outside wall. On either side are two earthenware jars into which the boiled product is poured and from which it is allowed to run off through stop cocks into the bottles. The manufacturers of the bean milk appear to be endeavoring to conduct their factory along hygienic lines. It is reported that they invite inspection of their factory and express a desire to carry out the suggestions made by the inspecting physician; these suggestions related principally to the sterilization of the bottles before allowing the milk to run into them. The new product is very cheap as compared to cow's milk. The factory undertakes to supply one pint each morning for approximately 50 cents gold a month. Autumn. Who has not seen the fall of the leaf And felt tlie pain of languid grief Since summer's gone And left us alone Without a tune, at the fall of the leaf? Who has not seen the moon at night As thru the clouds she takes her flight, Play hide and seek With paling cheek? Who has not seen all this at night? ; Who does not know at the fall of the i lear The heart feels like a drying sheaf? That death with its sting Is a comely thing, In autumn at the fall of the leaf? ?J. B. RICE. Columbia, S. C. LATIN-AMERICAN MARKETS. Supplies in Special Demand in South America. Europe, prior to the war, was a large buyer of American apples "and pears, writes W. E. Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's. This market is closed now, but there are excellent opportunities for our farmers to dispose of these fruits in Latin-American markets, especially Brazil, Uruguay and Argentine. These countries were formerly large purchasers from Australia and New Zealand fruit growers, but owing to the scarcity of ships cannot obtain their supplies. Argentine and Brazil alone consume about 1,250,000 boxes of apples yearly, and about 300,000 boxes of pears. We have refrigerator ships from New York to the ports of Rio de Janeiro, Montivideo and Buenos Aires, and I suggest that fruit farmers consider these markets in which to dispose of their crop. Goods can be sold at the docks in the above named towns. Potatoes, cabbage, beets, turnips, onions and the hardier vegetables are also required in these countries, the demands formerly being supplied by Holland and Germany. One of the largest wholesale houses in Buenos Aires has its buyer here who is desirous of purchasing cottons, woolens, dry goods and toilet preparations. This concern has seven travelers who cover the entire Argentine and Uruguay. | The Big Sale] m 88 m Is still going on at the ft I Bamberg Dry Goods Store j J 8 I i 132B . as 11 A beautiful line of good Shoes for the whole family. || Dry Goods of all kinds at the right prices.
