That was the "damage thai would be done to the country r>iores. H wan also felt by many merchants thai it would drain the life blood out of retail trade in towns of some size. ThS last bulletin of the National Association of Credit Men contains the results of an Investigation into this question. One of the questions asked wus ' Are Country Store? Suf fering from the Aggressiveness of the Mall Order Houses?" This and other questions were sent to wholesale deal ers. If the cross roads and small city man are gYowlIng, the sales manager for the johlter hears it quickly enough. These questions brought out no sentiment among the retailers that the parcel post was hurting them. Bill tin-re was a general feeling that the new system removes u burdensome expense. The extent of the tax imposed by the former heavy express charges was not realized, it came in driblets. It wok a quarter, here a half u dollar there, a dollar somewhere else. A good deal of the time it was charged up to the consumer. No doubt there were many el * instance:! under which the re taller felt that be had to pny it to satisfy his customer. , ' in the long rim the change may prov? a goedr/hfyg. for t|t? express companies. Under tho old regime, they could not. have possibly consid ered themselves popular. . Now they are' advertising 1 their claims and rates. The j moment .a corporation :dlows Itself anxious to please and get business, that moment it has laid out the foundation of popular favor. Retail1 nrerenttitft of -ourse must realize that -more work is going to be dono by mall order sent to stores near j iiome. They muBt by advertising keep their goods beferVlhe outlying farm ers of their trf^r^pry, or their rival around the corner will get it. A FIDDLER'S CONVENTION News from Atlanta telling of a meeting of the ojditlma Fiddlers' As sociation, suggests one of those pic turesque old typen jof personality that are fast becoming extinct. .

Often he bought his cherished fiddle at auction and picked up his version of techni que from some, old-timer who had pre ceded him. Music was to him the chief joy Of living. He usually bad some osten sible calling at .which ho earned a bare living wage. But as he was-hoe ing corn or cohblh/g shoes his heart was In the breakdown to come off that night at the cross roads.

This turns out to be wrong, as Mr. Cullom had a-fair slsed estate, as modern standards go. His simple and unostentlous habits of life, how ever, stamped him sn Jbolonglng to that older school of IMtessjlanshlp that maintained Spartan Indifference to the allurements of wealth. There are' many opportunities for money making offered to prominent statesmen that are legitimate. Audi ences almost anywhere would have assessed .Utemselves 50 cents a head to see and hear so conspirons and plcturesqu.e a figure. In the political ;heater. But,!;Uncle? Shelby belonged to an older .race pt public men who were prlnclpaBy, ,lntereated in ideas of government, .and, money making seemed an uninteresting side Issue.

A CURIOUS ANOMAL! OF DIPLO MACY Bills are expected' to pass In con gress providing for the raising of the United States legation in Argentins to the rank of an embassy. An ambassador is traditionally sup posed to be a personal representative of his sovereign. He le supposed to the governments of two republics use these pretentious tugs and labels. They are supposed to have thrown {overboard the ornamental baggage of 'kings and emperors. Vet no doubt it In good business in this case.

The catalogue is now being is sued nud will he distributed as widely ns possible within the next few week. President Johnson of Winthrop col lege Fridny expressed himself as greatly pleased with the interest shown so far. lie expects tliut the attendance will be considerably lar ger than lust year when it. reached around 000. Dr. Johnson has secured the services of some of the most noted .educators in the country us members of the faculty. While several mem bers have not been secured as yet he gave out a partial list of the facul ty and from this it Ib seen that the personnel could hardly be Improved upon in any .partic.ulur. Discussing the object in having the summer school. Dr. Johnson stated that the purpose was fourfold: It is designed to meet the needs of teach ers who have never had the benefit of a college training, teachers who though college graduates, feel the need of broadening their education either along the line of Bpeclal branches or educational methods, the ablest end most liberal educated teachers who rocr.^ni-e the benefits cf association with kindred spirits and of receiving a new Inspiration for their work, and teachers and students who wish to make its credit on u Winthrop dip loma. That Winthrop Is an ideal place for a summer school is unquestionable. The climate conditions are excellent and the eollege grounds are ample for recreational purposes.*' The dormitory facilities, are sufflolent to care for 700 teachers and from the college farm can bo secured vegetables, milk, etc., pure/and fresh.

AN OLD DETICE. % Chemlcal Fire Extinguishers Can Be Traced Back to 171?. The chemical fire estlnguiah?rs found by Councilor Won-U to be still in course of promising evolution, Is traced back to Oreyl of Augsburg. His apartus of 1745 was in a cask of water containing a sheet metal box holding two pounds of gunpowder, and as the cask thrown Into a burning build ing a fuss set Itr to tbe powder, scattering both the water and stifling fumes over the flames. The Arc siuoiherlng cartridge invented by Kuchn m 1846 is a capsule of sul phur and saltpeter that fills the house or room with a great volume of sul phur dioxldo. Dry extlngulsners for inflammable liquids in varnish fac tories, garages, etc., are Chiefly of sodium bicarbonate and they have the advantage of being both harmless and effoctlvo where water can riot be used. The American bund grenade gives tbe extinguishing effects of both water and of the - nitrogenous gases evolved from th? contained chemicals. Extinguish ers In common use are of tw? classes ?one operated by compressed air or other gas and tho other, by carbon di oxide generated by the action of acid on' Bodium bicarbonate?and Diese two kinds are made in many forms and of sixes up to eight or* ten gallons. A new Russian .extinguishing agent is foam, produced in great volume by licorice in water. This ' has been tested on a large scale in Hanover and Rotterdam and has been gently poured over the biasing liquid in an alr-ex cludlng blanket, and sprayed by pumps through lines of hose and Jong .iron plpcB.

M. Blockhouse, secretary of the state hoard of f- rtllizer control. Mr. Staekliouse said, speaking of the bill, tliut the board two years ago antici pated iiie need o( such protection to buyers and required an uvallablllty of new amonlate materials about equal to cotton seed meal, blood, fish, etc. Mr. Stackbouse said thai the board was already doing what the "Stuckey Bill" would have required and was doing it lu a more economical and practical way. "As the use and sale of commercial fertilizers grew,""continued Mr. Stack house, "the su,ply of these ammon iates would not meet the demand, ex cept at prohibitive prices, and manu facturers began to introduce and to use some that were considered infer ior und objectionable.

Commandant, Matron and Other Offl. riais ai Confederate Home. Columbia, March 12.?Andrew J. Bethea, code commissioner of South Carolina, completed the preparation I of the general appropriation act, which will be sent to the comptroller gener al this morning. The act was passed at the last session of the general as sembly. Comptroller General Jones I paid the salaries of .state officials for I January and February and . will lie ready to pay general claims against the stato government. At the last session of the legislature the governor vetoed, the following Item, relating to the Confederate Sol diers' Home, in section 30 of the, gen eral appropriation bill, which veto was sustained by tho bouse: "Item 3. For salaries and wages for officers nnd employes at said inr flrmary, and In no cose other than as herein provided: "1. For conamandnnt, $GG0. "2. For matron, $600. "3. For physician, *6o0. "4.

RAISE TECHNICAL GOURTJESIP PERPLEXING PROBLEM l& QUITE LIKELY IN RE SOLICITOR Question May Be Determined In Courts Whether or not Proc tor Bonham Ces Serve It hail probably never occurred to Anderson people or to the people of Greenville. Oconos or Pickens coun ties before hut yesterday the question was asked here, "can Proctor Bonham, who has been solicitor of this circuit serve as solicitor of the divided cir cuit, when he has never been elected solicitor in that district. If Mr. Bon ham lived in Anderson he would cer tainly be able to serve here but he lives in Greenville and therefore could not. serve in Anderson. At the same time he has never been elected to the. position of solicitor in that circuit. It is not believed that the question will ever be ruised, but because of the fact thnt Anderson people will bo in terested the following Is reproduced from the Greenville News of yester day to show how the people of that city look at the situations: "Whether or not Solicitor Proctor A. Bonham of Greenville, Will or can act as solicitor of the 13th circuit is a question that may be raised when the new circuit bill becomes effeciive on Msy 1st. The act creating the new circuit out of the old tenth- cir cuit loaves Anderson and Oconee counties to compose the tenth cir cuit and makes the 13th circuit out of the counties of Greenville and Pickens. The act provided for Soli citor Bonham to be transferred to the 13th circuit and for the governor to appoint a solicitor for ihn 10th cir cuit. "But as one acquainted with the constitution points out, the constitu tion provides that the solicitor roust be elected by the qualified voters of the circuit in which he resides. Arti cle 5, section 29, of the constitution of 1895, reads as follows: 'There shall be one .solicitor for each circuit, who shall reside therein, to be elected by th > qualified electors of the circuit, who shall hold his of fice for the term of four years, and shall receive for his services such compensation as shall be fixed by law, hue' talking about this matter this morning pointed out that* In his opinion, Mr. Bonham could not serve ap solicitor for the 13th circuit when [ ne. was elected as solicitor for the 10th circuit for this would be legislating him into office, which is forbidden by the constitution.' Mr. Bonham. he contended could move back into the 10th circuit and continue to bo solicl Lur there bai if ho is residing in Greenville on May 1st .when the new circuit becomes effective, he will va cate his office and there will be no solicitor for either the 10th or the 13th* circuits. "If this view is correct the act pro viding that Mr. Bonham servo as so licitor of the 13th circuit is uncon stitutional and Mr. Bonham will eith er have to move back into the - 10th circuit or else neither circuit, will have a solicitor. "Judge G. W. Prince is judge of the 10th circuit and resides at Anderson, while Judge Thomas J. Mauldin is judge of the 13th circuit and resides at Pickens. "Anyway the matter raises a pretty constitutional question.. Of course there may be no objection in which case Mr. Bonham can serve as soli citor for the 13th circuit, but should] some person!* attorney object - to an ] indic?T3nt on the ground that Mr. BonhamV m; not * solloltor ipf \h$ 13th i circuit the matter would come before] th? ' presiding judge fpr decision." SAGE TEA DARKENS HAIR TO ANY SHADE [ Dont Stay gray.
