It is to In.* hoped that Wood row Wilson's
administration will not be as
"Tumulty" as the name of his private
secretary would indicate.
The National House of Representatives
has passed by a big majority
the Webb bill to prohibit the shipment
of intoxicating liquors into
"dry" territory. The bill had already
passed the Senate and will
probably become law.
The race to succeed Congressman
Legare in the First district promises
to be lively. Already six candidates
have "shied their hats into the
ring'' and several more are considering
the matter of entering the
race. The list of aspirants already
announced includes four from
* f
Charleston arid two from Walterboro.
Representative Welch, of Richland
county,has introduced a hill in
the Legislature to allow criminals
convicted of capital crimes the
choice between electrocution or in
oculation with the deadly germs of
pellagra. It is hardly probable that
such a bill will be seriously considered
by the General Assembly.
Williamsburg county is indebted
to Ernest M Joye for a lot of advertising
of the right sort. Young
Joye's achievement has been heralded
all over the country and Williamsburg
county is given agricultural
prominence such as it has
never before enjoyed. It is a great
? .? x A 3:.i
pity, However, mai our county uiu
not have a first class exhibit at the
corn show to back up Ernest Joye's
prize winning.
Held Up By Slot Machines.
f A dispatch from Washington says
the circulation of the proposed new
nickel, scheduled for February 15,
has heen postponed indefinitely by
the Treasury department because of
protests of slot machine interests.
Manufacturers vigorously complained
that just as they had perfected
chewing gum and other slot
machines to refuse counterfeit nickels
and "slugs" designed for fraud
the Government was about to place
in circulation a five cent piece, the
design of which would practically
nullify their inventions. Mint officials
agreed to delay circulation to
consider the protests.

came up for its third reading and
for final action Saturday. Considerable
debate followed, the Charles
ton delegation leading the fight for |
bill. It was passed and ordered sent,
to the Senate, after a motion to recommit
had failed by a vote of 54 to J
35. The bill provides for the conveyance
to the State of the property
of the Charleston Medical college
and the appropriation by the State
of $20,000 to start a State medical
college in the plant now used by the
Charleston Medical college.
Friday the water tax bill came up
for its crucial reading and was given
! its second reading after a hard fight.
The measure, which provides for a
water power tax of 20 cents on each
horsepower developed in this State
for sale, was given its third reading
Saturday and was ordered sent tc
the Senate.
The same day saw the passage bj
the House of two minor measures of
considerable interest. One was the
bill requiring that the label on fertilizer
shall show the source of the
ammonia contained therein. The other
provided for the establishment of
a conservation commission for South
Carolina. Both must still run the
gauntlet in the Senate.
The Senate passed the Laney bill
providing for the insi>ection of oils
sold in this State.
Favorable reports v/ere received
in the Senate Friday on the RittenI
berg bill providing a high license
liauor system for Charleston and on
the bill providing for medical inspection
in schools. The Rittenberg
bill, which gives Charleston a high
license system of selling liquor in orJ
iginal packages, has already passed
I the House.
The Earle bill, providing for a flat
12 cent rate for railway passenger
, fares in this State, was given an unj
favorable report Thursday.
The House on Friday passed and
j ordered sent to the Senate a concurrent
resolution providing for adjournment
Friday, February 21. Usually
the sessions of the Legislature
have come to a close Saturday night
?or rather in the small hours of
Sunday morning?but this resolution
is designed to give the session a
more dignified end. With this end

.in some good work this week, especially
on the general appropriation
bill which will probably be well on
its journey through the assembly by
the end of the week.
The House has adopted a resolution
to choke off the bill-mills by
preventing the introduction of any
except committee measures. This
insures more time for work on the
calendar and will materially facilitate
the labors of the lower branch
of the General Assembly.
A concurrent resolution has passed
both Houses calling for an investigation
of conditions at the Soldiers'
home, the South Carolina institution
for Confederate veterans. There

garding the management, and the
result was the presentation to the
House of two petitions, each signed
by many veterans. One asked for an
inquiry as to conditions at the home
and the other declared conditions
were satisfactory and opposed a
change in the management. The
House Ways and Means committee,
refusing to act as judge of the question,
called for an inquiry. The resolution
passed both Houses and the
investigation is expected to start this
week. J S Reynolds.
The price of subscription for the
well-known magazine "Youth's Companion"
has been increased to $2.00
a year and it is well worth the price.
For more than a quarter of a century
The Youth's tompanion has
been recognized as the highest quality
of literary pabulum for boys and
girls, and men and women as well,
to be found anywhere. By clubbing
The Companion with The Record we
can save our subscribers twenty-five
cents on old or new subscriptions to
the two. If you want to subscribe
to The Companion or renew your
subscription, send us $2.75 and both
The Record and The Companion will
be sent to you for one year. New
subscribers can get The Companion
from now until January free by subscribing
now and sending $2.00 for

PUZZLES IN FIGURES.
Some of the Unnolved Riddles In the
World of Numbers.
There are many mysteries in the
world of numbers?little things the
'conditions of which a child can understand,
thoug 1 the greatest minds
cannot mastci. Everybody has j
I heard the remark, "It is as hard as j
squaring the circle," though many j
| people have a ''ery hazy notion of
I what it means. It is this: If you
have a circular piece of paper, how
are you to cut out another piece in
the form of a square that shall contain
exactly the same area? Well,
it cannot be done with exactitude,
though we can get an answer near
enough for all practical purposes,
because it is not possible to say in
exact numbers what is the proportion
of the diameter to the circumference.
But it is only in recent
times that it has been proved to bo
impossible. Only cranks now waste
their time in trying to solve this
venerable puzzle.
Again, we can never measure exactly
in numbers the diagonal of a
square. If yz>u have a windowpane
exactly a foot on each side, there is
the distance from ccner to corner
staring you in the face, yet you can
never say in exact numbers what is
the length of that diagonal The
no- ice will at once suggest that
we might take our diagonal first,
6ay an exact foot, and then con
6truct our square. Yes, you can do
this, but then you can never say exactly
what is the length of the side.
You can have it which way you like,
but you cannot here it both ways.
Here are a couple of puzzles that
have not been proved to be impossible,
but that nevertheless have
not been solved. They will give the
reader some fascinating employment
during spare hours if he happens
to be fond of figuring. First,
then, take the round table problem.
Nine persons are stopping at a
boarding house, and they all sit
down together to dinner on twentyeight
successive nights at a round
i table. The rule of the house is that
! no person shall on any two occa1
sions have the two same neighbors.
: How is it to be done, if at all ?
Here is another poser. If we
write down the number, composed
of seventeen ones?11,111,111,111,111,111?and
ask you to find some
number?other than 1 or the number
itself?that will divide it without
remainder the answer will give
you considerable labor to discover.
We .will, however, say at once that
the only numbers that will divide it
are 2,071,723 and 5,363,222,357.
Now add two more ones to the number,
and we cannot tell you whether
it can be exactly divided by any
| aumuer or liui, iur uuuuuj aavnoIf
you can find such a divisor you
will have done something that nobody
else in the world has yet succeeded
in doing. And we cannot
say that it is impossible.
Lange's Stolen Base.
One of the funniest incidents in
base stealing happened in Chicago
one of the years that Bill Lange
led the league in base running. It
was a close race between Lange and
Hamilton for the honors in base
stealing, and the season was drawing
to fi close. The game was close,
and l^ange led off in the eighth inning
with a two bagger. Anson
went tc> bat and laid down a perfect
bunt, ntending to sacrifice. He
went out in a close finish at first
i and, looking up, discovered Lange
still perched on second. He was
furious, but that condition was
mild to what he experienced an instant
later when l^ange stole third
?and took the lead for base running
honors.

Thousands testify that

converted into red blood
