It there nothing iii li-' ciiKiom to make it a use

How many article? of merchandise sold? How
many dollars made?
Hut Hint is Just ?me way of looking at it. And
a supertical .vay at that.
Tho law of Hie Hahhalli seetns to he based on the
great principles of nature. And men working
seven days out of every seven would not gain much
il anything by the additional labor. They would he
far more apt to loose by It. They would he sure to
deteriorate physically, menially, and morally. The
man who works the six t-'o'Mihir days and then puts
In a day's work on Sunday will just loose Monday.
That's all. 'Ilia: hi it may he all and it may not

It is said the human heart sav. s several thous
and strokes in Hglii hours of sleep as compared
with eight hours: of time when one hi awake. The
heart is a very delicate vital part. And when it
rtops It stops. And when it slops, there is a pro
found silence, a long eternal silence.
When a man goes seven days out of seven, he is
putting It up to that one organ that keep.* him go

in the way wo all know we should take it?
Ah it has been said the seven"! is a Sabbath
day that a man may have a chance ;o get acquainted
with his wife and his children and to cultivate his
friends. Are not friendship.; of that character
worth having?
But has not every innn nlso a part in his being
that calls for something that never was Been on
land or uen? Does he not occasionally cast his
rye up into the deep blue and wonder why? Do not
the old questions that have haunted all men from
the beginning still haunt us?
Do wo not need the one day that is called the
Lord's liny as a reminder? Do wo not need to listen
to men who apeak to us of other things than those
as think of all the other days? Is there not a
diversion in It worth all It eont to a hi sinens man to
have his mind turned away from ttmporal things?
Can ho not conic back to his other life and live it
hotter?

In tho despondency of long continued failure. In
tbe elation ot sudden success; at times when his
soldiers were deserting by hundreds and when
maligner.-, plots were formed against bis reputation,
amid the constant quarrels, rivalries and Jealousies
of his subordinates, In the* dark hour, of national In
gratitude, .and in the midst of tho .moat universal
and intoxicating flattery, ho was always the same
calm, wise, just, and single minded man, pursuing
the course which ho believed to be right without
fear or favor or fanaticism;, equally free from ,the
passions that-spring from Imagination. Ho never
ncted on tho Impulse of on absorbing or uncalcuiat
ing enthuslam, and ho valued very highly fortune,
position, and reputation: but at, the command of
duty he was ready to risk and sacrifice them aN
He was, in the highest sense of the words, a gen
Cleninn and a man or honor, and ho carried Into
public lite tlio severest standard of private murals.

W.t It , Mlr.ii I HK SF..1.
When I he three British nrmored cruisers
Aboiiklr. liogue and Cressy were nil sunk within
the apace of about an hour by on? German subma
rine, the world was given a startling demonstra
tion of the possibilities of this type of underwater
lighting craft. In the subsequent lighting at sea
these vessels have played such an important part
as c.? give considerable justification to Admiral Sir
Percy Scott'.; prediction that when submarine!!
have been f ii if y developed they wli! entirely dis
place the great dreadnoughts that form the prin
cipal light Ing strengt h of the navies of the present
lime.
During the five years preceding the war. sub
marine fighting crafts hail been developed to a
high state of elflclency. Among the new vessels,
submersibles had almost entirely superseded the
original type that bore the name of submarine.
For understanding the character of the lighting
craft that has come into such ,> eminence it ii;
necessary to distinguish between the two types of
VCcScln. The original submarine v/as designed pri
marily lo operate under water and was far from
being r ??eaworthy craft when running on the sur
race. These vessel:; were therefore valuable main
ly for coast ilrfense and for operation's within re
r.lrleteil limits in connection with a licet -of wur
Bhips. The submarine, while having all the under
water efficiency of the submarine, is built to op
erate on the surface as well, and is practically as
tcaworthy as a destroyer. Such vessels are cap
able of making long voyages and or taking the of
fensive Independently and not simply an auxiliaries
to a fleet of warshipB. All the later vessels, while
commonly called submarines, are in fact sub
mersibles. The original submarines still in service
are used almost exclusively for coast defense.
The submarine In shaped like a cigar, a cross
section nt any point along the hull being practically
circular. In the submersible thin shape Is retained
Tor the Inner shell, but over this Is built a hull that
gives the completed vessel the shape of a torpedo
boat. The inner shell contains all the working
parts o? the boat, while the space between the two
sheila Is utilised for the water-ballast compart
ments which, when filled, overcome the buoyancy
of the craft depth beneath the water. Tl>< interior
or a submers.ll .le impresses one as being a Ihiug or
supreme nervous energy, with every detail devoted
to the accomplishment of just one thing?that of
slipping In close to the enemy's ship arid sinking
it with a torpedo. So completely is the vessel filled
with machlnei*y and equipment for this purpose
that only very limited space can bo ' utilized fqr!
quartering and feeding the crew.
While the newer submersibles are equipped with
tubes for firing torpedoes from the stern and even
from the side, the principal fighting equipment Is
at the bow. Here ore located either'two or four
torpedo tubes. Unlike the ;:uns of a battleship,
these tubes must be aimed at the mark by aiming
the entire vessel. Each tube is closed by a trap
door that opens automatically when the torpedo Is
fired and closed the Instant the torpedo has started
on Its journey of destruction. Hack of the torpedo
tubes Is r. comportment for storage of torpedoes
and In this arc also sleeping quarters for the of
ficers of the vessel. In the deck above this com
partment is a hatch for taking in the torpedoes.
Next 'crues a compartment containing one of the
two electric storage batteries which furnish pow
or for propelling the vessel when it Is under water.
Back of this, at the center of the vessel. Is the
central operating compartment, from which every
movement of the vessel Is controlled/ Next comes
a compartment containing the second set of stor
age batteries, then the engine room and workshop,
and finally the compartment at the stern containing
the propelling and steering machinery. The crew,
which often numbers from 20 to 30 men on a sub
mersible, are usually quartered In hammocks In
the compartments containing the storage batteries.
Of all the equipment of submarine vessels the
most Important Is the periscope, a simple devico
that serves as the eyes of the craft when it is run
ning submerged. On the latest submersibles two
of these instruments arc used, one being fixed to
give a view straight ahead and the other being so
mounted that It can be turned to face in any direc
tion. Although serving such a vital part in the"op
eration of a submaHne the periscope is exceeding
ly cln.plc In construction. The light enters the
hood of the. periscope horizontally. : It then passes
through a prismatic lens that deflects it downward
at right angles into the vertlcie shaft of the per
iscope. At the bottom of the shaft Is a second lens
that again turns the rays of light,to a horizontal
direction. This is the simplest to; in of the per
locbpo. Usually there arc add it le nul lenses for
magnifying the view. After pasSiug through the
bottom lena the Image Is either thrown on a Serien
or is viewed "directly through a teloecovo by the
officer in command. The' one disadvantage in the
periscope is that it gives only a limited view in the
one direction In which it happens to be facing. At
tempts have been made to develop n panorama per
iscope that uses n "flsh-eyo" lens and giveB a view
of the entire horizon, but this device has not yet
been developed sufficiently lo come into general
?iso. When the submarine Is submerged, only the
tops of the periscopes are visible above the surface.
These are difficult to see and still moro^dimcult to
hit. and this accounts .for the apparent case with
which a submarine can steal up w)thin range of
a battleship add* flro its torpedo without being dis
covered. .'^X-l^^^-OA^is*

That residents of that section of tho

and aro going to support it almost
to tho man. is tho cheering news
brought to the cltv by Mr. S. M. John

on a proposition looking to tho estab

between this city and that town.
Some time ago ITr. Johnson came
to Anderson and tal ted over with the
chamber or commet co offlcinlB plans
for establishing tho auto truck line.
He mot with considerable encourage
ment from farmers along the proposed
route and received promises of support
from business men of H1I3 city. But
since the matter of a bond Issue for
good roads In this county hU3 been
broached, the people between here and
Liberty who were Interested In tho
truck line have advised Mr. Johnson
to postpone putting tho line Into qpor
ation until the bond issue matter has
been settled.
An auto truck Une could not be.oper
ated o\?r.tho country roads with them
in such condition as they have been
this winter, and the people interested
in the matter believe that it'would be
unwise to attempt it. it. is Btated by
one who talked with Mr. Johnson.

Now if you have money on hand you can invest it, increasing
your income by getting first class 8 per cent paper. This bests 4
per cent. We are of the opinion that our legislature next year will
pass a 6 per cent law in this State, but if you have a contract for a
number of years at 8 per cent you are safe.
Our plan is to bring the people who want to loan and the people
who want to borrow together so you won't have io wait for some one
in your neighborhood to want money, just get in line and let us know
your wants and we will see what can be done about getting what you
want.
Anderson County mortgages are better than you can get any
where on earth. Better than bonds, better than stock in the new
theater, better than stock in the Elevator Company, better than miil
stock, better than bank stock, better than bank deposits, pays better
rate of interest, backed by better security-?in fact, the very best and
safest investment to be had. Get in line quick. Call to sec us,
we can then talk the matter over with you and more fully explain oui
plan.
The following amounts are a few wanted by parties in Anderson
County, and all the lands offered as security are veil known to us
