ASYLUM TO HAVE OWN ICE PLANT A SAVING OF ABOUT $400.00 IS EXPECTED-OTHER IMPROVE MENTS. DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina Peo ple, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. An economy of about $400 a month, with a notable improvement in ser vice, rather than an impairment, is expected to be effected at the State Hospital for the Insane by an artifi cial refrigeration plant which is to be installed in connection with the kitchen. Reports to the regents at their meeting showed that ice was being used each month to the value of about $600. The new installation will com prise both an adequate cold storage plant and an ice-making machine hav tng a producttion of three tons a day. Inspection was made by the regents of the work being done toward carry ing out the improvement plans re cently adopted. The board expressed satisfaction with the progress made. The superintendent at the beginning of his task submitted an outline of the needs and the work for the year was laid out, the first considerattion 'being the greatest good to the great est number of patients, the second the greatest saving to the state. The -plans were drawn accordingly and so much has been undertaken as the funds available would warran. The work has been pushed with the utmost dispatch, in order that it might ba finished this year or early next year. Seven wards of the white male de partment will be converted into mod ern quarters, equipped with all mod ern conveniences and safeguards, in eluding safety fire escapes. The kitchen is being modernized, with a view not only to pi'oducing good, wholesome food, but also to making considerable savings. One of the ne cessities which had developed was ,that of a congregate dining room for the white female patients. This is now in process of erection. It will not only make possible the better handling of the food, but also will eliminate the ward dining rooms, which now consume space that is needed for patients. Mighway Board Plans Trip.

With the openingj of the hunting season in the netA9 future hunters in 17 of the 44 counties of the state will be required to procure ,licenses in or der to hunt. Those licenses for resi dcnt hunters cost $1.10 and can be procured from the game warden or the clerk of court in any county re quiring the lisense or from the chief game warden, A. A. Richardson. The counties affected by this law are: Barnwell, Beaufort, Calhoun, Charleston, Chester, Darlington, Dil. lon, Dorchester, Florence, Greenville, Hampton, Jasper, Laurens, Lexington, Marion, Oconee, Orangeburg. Resident hunters in these counties must procure a license at a cost of $i.10 in order to hunt. Landlords and tenants and their children are not required to have any license while hunting upon their freeholds or lease holds, respectively. Written permis. sion will take the place of a county license under certain conditions; as a landlord may give a written perms. sion to any resident of his county to hunt upon his lands. This permis. sion is a substitute for a county license, and no license is required by a hunter while hunting upon land where lie has written permission from the owner. South Carolinians living in the state and wishing to hunt in any of the above counties are required to have a state license at a cost of $3.10. This applies regardless of whether the hunter comes from a license county or non-license county. No written permission will take the place of a state license. Any person hunting in a license county will be required to show any of the following facts in order to be exempt from prosecution: Owner of the land upon whicn he is hunting; resident of the county with written permission from the landlord; resi dent of the county with a county li cense; South Carolinian with a state license; non-resident of South Caro lina with a non-resident license. The wild birds and animals are the property of the state, and only allow ed to be hunted at certain times, which times are designated on the back of each license. Licenses can be procured from the game warden or clerk of court in any license county, or directly from A. A. Richardson, chief game warden, Co lumbia. Expert Bitten by Mosquito.

Special courses are to be provided, to correspond with the training given at Winthrop college several weeks for the tomato club girls. The youthful champions traveled in a special car provided by the South ern railway leaving Columbia at 1:05 o'clock. This was gaily bedecked with flashy bunting. supplemented by select stalks and prize ears of corn. Two boys come from each of the 44 counties in the state. At Clemson a carefully outlined short course wilt be given, continuing for one month. Three hours will be consumed each day in recitations. Special emphasis will be placed on the judging of cattle and live stock, the pruning and spray ing of fruit trees, dairying interests and other kindred topics during the afternoon, when special d6monstra tions can be given. Physical culture will not be neg lected. Series of various games are to be played to keep the summer stu dents in excellent condition. W. W.

Just how the modish girl manages to achieve certain things is the ques tion that engages the attention of other girls and inspires the wvonder ment and awe of the sterner sex. How does she get on a tiny turban over the mass of fluffy hair which crowned her head aforetime? Where has said hair disappeared? How does she take on, with the foolish little turban, a "no body home" expression that suits it exactly but makes one look twice to be sure of her identity? Some of these questions can be answered and some cannot, because the maid herself hard ly knows how she manages. Just now some of the new hair dressing styles demand that the fore head shall be uncovered and that sim plicity in the coiffure be made a feature of its attraction. Some daring souls have even gone to the extreme of combing the hair straight back from the forehead and twisting the ends into a plain, high coil at the top of the head. A round, young face with an abundance of hair to frame it may manage a coiffure of distinction by such simple means, but nearly all people need soft, curving lines about the forehead. A clever coiffure is shown in the picture, in which the hair is not waved but laid in pretty curves about Made Elegant 7oon 7fistoariaegtechr Noho failt the aeeite the da111in combination of ribbons and~ laces. flut there is another charm which be longs to the hand-embr-oideredl gown it is the char'm of elegance as well as beatuty.

't'his man was taken posses ion of by the spirit of God (II Pet. :21; Nun. 24:2; Judges 3:10; II Tim. 1:16). Thus it was that he commands ven the king, "Hear ye me" (v. 2). Ila first words were encouraging )mes, "Jehovah is with you," and the )roof of his word was the victory Asa iad just won, (clh. 32:8; Rom. 8:31; Deut. 20:1). That victory was a dem nstration, it involved an obligation And had a lesson for the king as well, viz., that if he and his people would seek Jehovihh they would find him, but f they forsook him "he will forsake you." The words recorded in verse hree were a fearful indictment ("with ut the true God," Eph. 2:12) and hey are a suggestive picture of this ige that is so sadly in need of a 'teaching priest" and is so constantly mcting as though "without law" or 31se is it law unto itself. But God ,vas merciful (Ps. 103:8; 117:2), and n that time of testing was working its good will. 'T'hus it came that "in heir great trouble" (v. 4) they sought ehovalh and "he was found of them."
