A Wood Pulp Supply.
Canada is proving to be a fine store
house of paper and paper materials
for the United States, which consumes
the great bulk of Canada's exported
products of that kind. From
an export of paper and" paper materi- i
als in 1892 valued at $91, the total j
exports of paper pulp and pulp wood .
for the year ending last July grew to
$40,860,266, an increase of 31 per
cent, over the year before. Of this
the United States took 87 per cent. 1
In connection with these figures,
issued by the Canadian department
of commerce, a warning is sounded <
lest the heavy drain placed on Canadian
forests be permitted to eat up
this source of wealth, and suggesting
' that much more stringent measures 1
in regard to reforestation will be 1
needed to protect the pulp woods
from final destruction.
Only in recent years has Canada |'
felt the paper making drain on its
forests. This country has a considerably
larger number of mills at
present and these mills are credited
with a daily capacity of 4,125 tons,
as against 2,085 tons which the Canadian
mills can turn ' out daily.
During this year seven new mills will
begin operations in Canada, having a
daily output of 670 tons, against
A three new mills opening in this country
with a capacity of 130 tons.
Canada and the United States have
each about the same area of forests,
estimated at about 550,000,000 acres,
but the Dominion has more paper
making wood. At the present time
the mills in this country are consuming
nearly double the amount of pulp
wood used by the mills across the
border, but the tendency is more
nearly to equalize the production.
Timber is cheaper in Canada than in
this country, where the industry in i
its present importance is of such-T
recent date that the private monopo-P
A lict has not vet been able to set in!
his work as effectively as in this
L 1
s country.
The rapidly growing demand for
news print paper has within the last
two years focused attention on the
available supply of pulp material.
More than three million cords of this
kind of wood cut in the United States,
and a million imported trom Canada
are used by the mills in this country,
chiefly for news print. In addition
to spruce, the most desirable
timber for pulp making, eight or ten
* ether soft woods are now being used.
On account of the increasing calls
for timber suitable for the manufacture
of wood pulp, and the excess
of cutting over ine annual giowui u:
the forests, disclosed by the department
of forestry in its report for the
year ending June 30, the problem of
maintaining a supply of both hard
and soft woods is a serious one. To
allow the cutting of timber to go on
with no adequate provision for a new

THE FORCE OF SLAXG.
How Some of Its Words Gain High
Standing Abroad.
That original slang is poetic is the
?ontention of Max Eastman in the
\'ew Republic and he goes on to say:
'Perhaps the best way to prove this
to the professors will be to remind
them that some of their own worthiest
and most classic and respectable
words are themselves, if we go back
to their origin, just the same slangy
cagabonds as these. Examine, for
instance, the word inveigh. There
:s a staid and dignified term, fit to be
incorporated in a president's inaugural:
'I will not at this time inveigh
against the custom prevalent among
my contemporaries?' You can imagine
how it would sound. And yet?
poetically?what does that word
mean? In means into. Vehi means
to sail: 'I will not at this time sail
into my contemporaries!' Here is
another Latin word?insult. In its
origin it means to jump on?exactly
what is said everywhere by the school
children of America when the appropriate
situation arises.
"Diatribe is a pretentious term. It
implies something more thorough
than an insult, a more lasting denunciation.
You not only 'jump on'
somebody, but you 'rub it in.' We
used to say of a crazy person that he
was 'off his trolley.' And the word
delirious meant substantially the
same thing in an earlier stage of civilization.
It came from the Latin
words de and lira, which means off
or out of your furrow. The word
precocious means precooked, or. as
we say, half baked. Capricious
means like a goat, and the slang correlatives
here are innumerable.
"Imagine some worthy, refined and
graduated soul, being offended by a
young upstart, and responding somewhat
as follows: 'It seems to me
you are a trifle capricious. I would
hardly expect any one to inveigh
against me in this delirious manner,
delivering such a diatribe. It is essential
to your precocity to insult
your elders?' And then suppose we
translate this somewhat according to
the etymological dictionary: 'You
goat! You must be off your trolley
to sail into me like that and then rub
it in! Just because you're halfbaked
you needn't think you can
jump on your elders!' "
INTERESTING FIGURES.
New York City is a Great Manufacturing
Centre.
Figures have just become available
of the output of the city of New York
in 1914, says the Christian Herald.
According to this compilation, there
were in the city 585,279 workers in
29,621 establishments, earning in
wages $357,498,000 a year, and producing
from raw materials worth
$1,229,155,000 finished products
worth $2,292,832,000. Women's
clothing headed the list, employing
104,834 persons and turning $180,778,000
worth of raw material into
$340,000,000 worth of merchandise.
The men's clothing industry employed
56,853 persons and produced
goods worth $192,112,000 from raw
materials worth $95,144,000. Next
to the clothing business, the printing
and publishing business is the grea
est in the metropolis, employing 48,384
persons in 3,185 establishments,
turning out a product worth $215,571,000
from raw materials worth
$56,186,000. The meat business
turned $97,457,000 worth of material
into $110,707,000 worth of
products. Bakeries employing 19,870
persons made $80^56,000 worth
of bread and cakes^trom $42,550,000
worth of material. Fifty-three
establishments, employing 6,283 persons,
turned $15,887,000 worth of
good materials into $56,312,000
worth of beer and liquors. Materials
worth $12,799,000 were turned
into $30,156,000 worth of patent
medicines and druggists' preparations.
Censorship of Movies.
We censor the movies for moral
reasons but do not think it important
to criticise them for their outrages
against the intelligence. They serve
the gross superstition of people and
thereby do a real damage to the
community common sense.
For the present the movies mainly
insist upon using bunk as the motive
of human action and largely refuse
to accept the rationality of cause and
consequence. They are debauching
the minds of the people who see
them. But the cure is elsewhere than
in censorship. That would be a
short cut, but is one wnicn seemingly
cannot be taken.
So long as the people consent to be
bunked by the movies they will be
bunked. They are their own most
effective censors.?Chicago Tribune.
growth is to invite ultimate disaster.
A number of substitutes for wood
for building purposes have been devised,
but there has been discovered
thus far no substitute for wood in
paper making. In the meantime the
demand for the news paper was never
so insatiate as just now.?.Nashville

Elected by Trick?
Columbia, Feb. 15.?A charge that
indorsement by the South Carolina
Audubon society of A. A. Richardson
for reelected game warden of the
State had been secured by a political
maneuver that was worthy of the
best traditions of this State's politics
was made on the floor of the senate
by Senator Neils Christensen, of
Beaufort, chairman of the finan< -e
committee. Senator Christensen's
allegation was made in the course
nf riphate on his bill Droviding that
the appointment of the warden shall
be made without the recommendation
of the society as the law now
provides.
Senator Christensen read from the
minutes of the meeting at which the
endorsement was given the incumbent,
to prove his charge that a carefully
planned political trick had been
worked.
At a call meeting of the Audubon
society, held in Columbia some weeks
prior to the convention of the general
assembly, said the Beaufort ^nator,
attended by less than a dozen
of its members, there were present
as proxies of absent members more
than 50 citizens of Barnwell and
Orangeburg counties, who had been
gotten together and brought to the
meeting by friends of Mr. Richardson.
The proposition to endorse the
present game warden was sprung and
passed without discussion.
Asked by Senator J. F. Williams,
of Aiken, who charged that the bill
was presented in an effort to remove
the present officer, to whom he paid
a full tribute of praise, if the motion
to recommend Mr. Richardson had
hopn nasseri unanimously. Sena
tor Christensen replied that he did
not know. "But if it did, that does
not necessarily signify anything," he
said. "What was the use for the few
regular members of the society to
say anything when there were four
times as many proxies present who
had come to vote for Richardson,"
asked the chairman of the finance
committee.
When Senator Christensen's bill
was taken up, Senator Williams offered
the following amendment,
which would insure the appointment
of Mr. Richardson: "Provided, That
if the Audubon Society of South Carolina
has already recommended for
the next term." After the matter
had been argued briefly a vote was
taken, the senate voting 21 to 21 on
the question of tabling the Williams
amendment.
Lieutenant Governor Bethea for

amendment, so that it was killed by
a majority of one vote.

amendment: President Bethea, Senators

Christensen, DuRant, Durst, E. C.
Epps, Griffith, Johnstone, Ketchin,
McCown, Nickels, Nicholson, Padgett,

The following senators voted not
to kill the amendment: Beamguard,
Black, Bonham, Friday, Ginn, Gorss,
Harvey, Harrelson, Johnson, Laney,
Lee, Manning, O'Dell, Purdy, Rogers,
Shelor, Spigner, Stuckey, Wharton,
J. F. Williams, tf. K. vviiuams?zi.
The following senators did not
vote: Evans, Hughes and Sinkler.
Mr. Richardson is an appointee of
former Governor Blease. In the
speech of Senator Williams the first
! tinge of factional politics of the session
crept in. the Aiken senator

hind the bill was a political one.
1 Senator Williams has introduced
i another amendment providing that
1 the game warden be elected by the
' people and not appointed by the gov

bill.

Serving Chocolate in the Trenches of
Europe.
"This afternoon, everything being
! quiet," writes a French lieutenant in
! hie Hiarv rmhlisheri in thp January
Atlantic, "I invited the neighboring
section commander to come and
spend a little time with me. In the
trenches we rarely have anything to
drink but wine and coffee, and, by
way of a special feast, I decided to
make some chocolate. So I sent for
a canteen of water, and poured some
of the precious fluid into my pan and
devoutly emptied in the chocolate
and sugar. It was simmering gently
on my brazier, and I was just on the
joint of adding condensed milk, when
some one called me from the outside.
It was my orderly coming to see if
I needed anything. I invited him to
join us, but at that precise moment
the stupid battery of a 77 began to
spit its six shells at us. Two burst
so near that my faithful 'tampon'
j stumbled in fright and fell headlong,
i taking with him brazier, saucepan,
and chocolate?our chocolate so
nearly ready, which our eyes were
drinkingly so hungrily. The poor
chap was most unhappy, so I laughed;

He Loved Marie.
A sailor at the Seamen's Church
Institute, just in from Cuba, came
rattling down the stairs recently
v. ith a heavy scowl on his face. He
approached the institute interpreter
and threw down his letter addressed
to a young woman he had met during
the trip: "Dear Marie: The
more I think of you the worse I love
. you. I seen my sister and she says
she will teach you English in two
weeks if you cum here Marie, I love
J you awful and send you $50 for you
j to cum here. I seen your brother
and he is wrighting to you this minute.
When I send a girl $50 for anything
I'm crazy. As ever, Oscar."
"Well?" said the interpreter. "Make
that just like it is, only in Spanish,"
explained Oscar, "and charge everything
to me. I'll be right up-stairs
until I get married."?New York

Mrs. Linnie Hutto McGinnis. Truly
, we can say a good woman is goneone
whose memory will long be revered
and cherished by the host of
1 friends who loved her tenderly. Her
death has cast a gloom over this en,
tire community where she was honored
and loved for her virtues and
Christian graces. She was always
1 found by the side of the sick bed of
her friends, to lend a helping hand
and to speak words of cheer and
comfort to those in trouble. Her
loss will be truly felt, the fragrance
> of her life was pervaded with inde;
scribable sweetness, the whole circle
in which she moved, and now that
I she has passed away, her kind words,
| her pleasant smiles and gentle acts
spring up as beautiful flowers along
I the pathway that memory traces of
;! her entire life. But she has gone,
gone to a mere congenial clime.
She leaves three little girls, Edith
; and Hughie Hutto, age eight and
twelve years, and Cleo McGinnis, age
. four years. She departed from us
on the 28th of February, 1916, in
the 31st year of her age, and was
buried at the family burying ground,
