Thu? one day out of every seven han for HO long a time in (he world's history been set aside as dit? ferent from other days is within Itself phenomenon. If there IK nothing in the custom to make lt a use ful one, then it most assuredly Involves a fearful wiwte of time. Think of how much time IK consum ed in Sabbaths in an ordinary life time Fifty two out of every year for seventy years, thc Divinely allotted spuce for a human life, equals three thous and ?ix hundred and forty dftvs, or suv ten years, for it laekr. only ten days of Ofling thut much. Mow much could he accomplished in those ten years? How many furrows could a man run In his fields? How many bolts of cloth could be wooven? How many articles ot marchandise sold? How many dollars made? Hut that ls just ono way of looking ut it. And a superficial way at that. Tho law of the Sabbath seems to he based on the great principies of nature. And men worklnK seven days out of every seven would not gain much il anything by the additional labor. They would be far more apt to loose by lt. They would be sure to deteriorate physically. m*r.ially, anil morally. The man who works the six secular day.) and then puts in a day's wor\ on Sunday will Just loose Monday. That's all. That is it may be all and it may not be all. It ls Bald the human heart saves several thous and strokes in light hours of sleep ns compared with eight hours of time when one ls awake. The heart ls a very delicate vital part. And when it t-tops it stops. And when lt stops, there is n pro found silence, a long eternal silence. When a man goes seven days out of seven, he is putting lt up to that one organ that keeps bim go ing in a strenuous fashion. And sometime he will ' -> surprised at its protests. Why not take the day in the way we all know we should take lt? ! AH it has boen said the seventh is a Sabbath day that a man may have e chance to get acquainted with' his wife and his children and to cultivate his friends. Are not friendships of that character worth having? But has not every man also a part in his being that calls fnr something that never was seen on land or sea? Does ho not occasionally cast his eye up Into the deep blue and wonder why? Do not the old quosttons that have haunted all men from the beginning still haunt us? Do we not need the one day that ls called thc Lord's Day as a reminder? Do wi not need to listen to men who speak to us of other things than those as think of all the other days? Is thoro not. a diversion in it worth all lt cost to a bt sincss man tn have his mind turned away from temporal thlnrfi? Can he not come back to his other life and live it better?

Hiches and poverty are largely comparative, atti the demons of blackness grin with satlsfactlot when base ingratitude ts shown by those to whon fate has dealt kindly, given homes, love, friends a comfortable competence, and these, looking upoi the few more fortunate, and blind to world widi poverty and despair and want, bemoan their fates Whom tbe Gods would destroy, they first maki ungrateful, might bo truly said.

What we give in life is what comes back to ut Sow selfishness and reap loneliness, sow Indiffer once and reap contempt, sow rich, fill your barn: and reap six feet of earth untouched by the tears o love or the flowers of friendship.

Is .the despondency of long continued fall uro, 1 the elation of sudden success, at times when hi soldiers were deserting by hundreds snd whe ti .lignant plots were formed against his reputatioi amid the constant quarrels, rivalries and Jeatonsk of his subordinates, tn the dark hour of national lr gratitude, and th the midst of the most univers* and intoxicating flattery, he waa always Ute sara calm. wise. Just, and single minded man, pursuit) the course which he believed to be right withot fear er favor or fanaticism; equally tree from tl passions that spring from imagination. He nev? acted on the impulse of an absorbing or un caleula lng eathuslam. and he valued very highly fort un position, and reputation; but at the command t duty he wren ready to risk and sacrU> He was. ic the highest sense of s ! Hern?n and a wan ot honor, and he carried !ni public Hf? til* severest standard of private morals lt wa? at first the constant dread of large section? of the American people that If tbe old government were overthrown they would fall Into the hands o! military adventurers and undergo the yoke of mili tary despotism. It was mainly tiie transparent integrity of the churacter of Washington that dis pelled the i'rar. It was always known by his friends, und it was soon acknowledged by the v. hoi? nation, and by the English themselves, that in Washington America had found a leader v.l. J could be induced by no earthly motive to tell a falsehood or to break un engagement or to commit any dis honorable act. Men of this moral type are happily no* rare, and we have all met them in our ex perience; but there is ocarcely another Instance in lily lory of uueii a man having reached and main tained the highest position In the .convulsions ol civil war and of a Kreat popular agitation.-Lccky'i "American Revolution." WAR TN HER THE SEA. When the three British armored cruisers Aboukir. Hogue .:nd Cressy were all sunk within tho space o' abot t an hour by one German subma rine, the world WCB given a startling demons!ra tion of the possibilities ai this type of underwater fighting craft. In the subsequent fighting at sea these vessels have played such an important part as to give considerable justification to Admiral Sir Percy Scott's prediction that when submarinen have been fully developed they will entirely dis place the great dreadnoughts that form the prin cipal fighting strength of the navies of the present time. During thc five years preceding the war. sub marine fighting emits had been developed to a high state of efficiency. Among the new vessels, submersibles had almost entirely superseded ?he original type thnt bore thc name of submarine. For understanding the character of the fighting craft that han -come into such prjmiacnc? lt ia necessary to distinguish between the two types oi v?rsela. The original submarine was designed pri marily to operate under water and was far from being a seaworthy craft when running on thc sur face. These vessels wero'therefore valuable main ly for coast defense and for operations within re stricted limits in connection with n fleet of war ships. The submarine, while having nil tho under water efficiency of the submarine, ls built to op erate on thc surface as well, and is practically as seaworthy as a, destroyer. Such vessels are cap able of making long voyages and of taking tlte^ of fensive independently and not simply an auxiliaries to a fleet of warships. All the later vessels, while commonly called submarines, are In fact sub mersibles. The original submarines still In service aro used almost exclusively for coast defense. ? The submarine is shaped like a cigar, a cross section at any point along the hull being practically circular. In the submersible tb<e shape is retained for thc inner shell, but over this is built a hull that gives the completed vessel the shape of a torpedo boat Tb* inner EheU'eont^lnS^all ? the working parts of the boat; while the apace between the twa shells ls utilized for the water-lmlkist compart ments: :fnich^*wtion fllledTovere^e tbs buoyancy of tho craft depth'beneath, tho water. The lntorlpr of a BubmerslHe impresses ene as being a thing of supreme nervous energy, with every detail devoted to'thc accomplishment of just one thing-that ol flipping In close to the enemy's ship and sinking lt with a torpedo. So completely,is,tne vessel filled with machinery and equipment for this purpose that only veW limited space cnn he utilised for quartering and feeding the crew. While the newer eubmerslbles*are equipped with tubes for firing torpedoes from.tho stern and '*en from th?? side, the principal fi?tht!n?r *?uipm?-?' at the bow. Here are located either two or fouT torpedo tubes. Unlike tbe guns of a battleship, these tubes must be aimed at the mark by aiming the entire vessel. Each tube is closed by a trap d"or that opens automatically when the torpedo ls fired and closed the instant the torpedo has started on its journey of destruction. Back of tbe torpedo tubes 1B a compartment for Btorage of torpedoes and in this are also* sleeping quarters tor. the of ficers ot the vessel. In the deck above this com partment is a hatch for taking in the torpedoes. Next comes a compartment containing one of thc two electric storage batteries which furnish pow er tor propelling the vessel when it is under water. Back of this, at the center of the vessel, is the central operating compartment, from which ev ??y movement of the vessel ls 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 00 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 moat important is the periscope, a simple device that serves aa the eyes of the craft when it 1B run ning submerged. On the latest submersibles two of these instruments are used, one being fixed to give a view straight ahead and the other being so mounted that lt can be turned to face in any direc tion. Although serving such a vital pail In the op eration of a submarine tho periscope ls exceeding ly simple in construction. The light enters the hood ot th? periscope horizontally. It then passes through a prismatic Uns that deflects-it downward at right anglos Into the verfiele shaft v>f the per iscope. At the bottom of the shaft is a second lena that again turns the rays of light to a horizontal direction. This ls the simplest. form ot tho per iscope. Usually there are additional lenses for magnifying the view. After passing through the bottom lena the Image Is either thrown on a screen or is viewed directly through a telescope by tbe officer in command. Tho one disadvantage in the periscope ts that lt gives only a limited view in the one direction la which it happens to be facing. At tempts have been made to. develop ? panorama per iscope that usos u "fish-eye" lena and give* a view of the entire horizon, but this device has not yet bien dereloped sufficiently to come into general use. When the submarine ls submerged, only .the tops of the periscopes are visible above the surface. These are difficult to see and still more difRcnlt hit and thia accounts for tbe apparent case .wi which a submarine can steal up within ra a battleship and fire Its torpedo without bel covered.

I ANDERSON LIBERTY A?IQ TRUCK LINE PLANS HALTED UNTIL BOND ISSUE FOR COUNTY IS DISPOSED OF FAVOR THE ISSUE Liberty Man Interested in Truck Line Says Fanners Are for Bone! Sale . That residents* ot that section or the county between this city and Liberty ? are enthusiastic over*, the proposed bond issue of $750.000 for ?good roads, ; and are going to. support it almost to the man, is the cheering news brought to the city.by Mr,;S. M. John ' soo, of Liberty, who has been working on a preposition looking to the estab lishment of an automobile truck line between this, city and that town.

But ' since the matter of a bond issue tor good roads in this county lias .been broached, tbe people between here and 1 Liberty who were Interested In the truck lind have advised Mr. Johnson to postpone putting the line into oper ation until the bond Issue matter has been settled. An auto .truck line could not be oper ated over the country roads with them in such condition as they hare been this winter, and the people interested in the matter believe that it would be unwise to attempt lt, it ls stated by one who talked with Mr. Johnson, in thc meantime the farmers, living j between Anderson and/Liberty, lt ts flated, are going to. petition the county .ooard of commissioners to do some ' work on the highways between ? these two points. - i, i . i GOVERNOR MANNING REHOYES FOUR STATE ASYLUM REGENTS (CONTINUED PROM PACE ONE.) , counties exempted and returned to the house. .
