"Impatiently expecting you," was the reply. "Well, but what do you want to do here?" "I don't want to do anything here: I want to do everything for the Turks." "Do you know how many Turks there are in the neighborhood?" "I believe there are enough to send you flying. But you will soon meet them, and then you can count for yourself."

In the midst of the success of the Balkan arms against Turkey, the fact must not be lost sight of that the brunt of the hardships will fall on the women of the Balkans, for of all the races in Europe, the lot of the women of the Balkans is probably the hardest. As is the general rule throughout the near east, the women Is the mainstay of the family, usually the sole worker, and just now the wives and mothers of the men of the Balkan states are preparing to face a hard, cold winter. While their lords and masters are absent on conquest, It devolves on the women to care for the herds and to maintain what family life there is in the wild, half-savage region of the Balkans. In Servia there is just one time when woman plays a prominent part in the affalr3 of life and that is on her wedding feast. These occasions last sometimes a week and are times of great ceremony and rejoicing. The courtships are conducted, by go-betweens. The wedding feast is so eiDensive that it is freauentlv' evaded by a well-arranged kidnaping, the brides being stolen and taken to the church, where a priest Is In waiting. Real Fog. The whole company had been spinning yarns chiefly of the variety known as tall, and It had come to the turn of a quiet country yokel, who, with a yawn, commenced, "I remember one haytlme. Just as we were starting work In the morning, a thick fog came on. It was only a ground fog, but It prevented us seeing to work in the fields, so we went to the farmyard and busied ourselves with other work, waiting for the fog to clear.

Then, of course, when the fog cleared there was nothing to hold me up, and I fell."?Exchange. Lister Methtods. A recent number of the London Lancet gives an Interesting account of the life of Lister, the great surgeon, who discovered the aseptic precautions to be taken after surgical operations. Lister, much like Harvey, who proved the theory of the circulation of the blood, was a careful and conscientious man who avoided print until he naa tnorougnjy provea uie vaiue ui his discovery. The great objection in his mind was that he felt that until every surgeon was convinced of the necessity for asepsis and of the value of the methods he advocated and was efficiently skilled in them, it would be a serious matter to publish successful results of operations which it would be practically criminal to perform unless complete asepsis was secured. Lister was evidently, that rare product, even rare in the medical profession, a modest man. Came to Sense as to Diet. "If you wish for anything like happiness'in the fifth act of life," Sydney Smith advised Lord Murray, "eat and drink about one-half of what you could eat and drink. Did I ever tell you my calculations about eating and drinking? Having ascertained the weight of what I could live upon so as to preserve health and strength, and what I did live upon, I found that, between ten and seventy years of age I had eaten and drunk 44 horse wagon loads of meat and drink more than would have preserved me in life and health! The value of this mass of nourishment I considered to be worth ?7,000 ($35,000). It occurred to me that I must, bv mv voracity, have starved to death folly 100 persons. This Is a frightful calculation, but Jy '4 SEN. TILLMAN AGAIN ON THE WAR PATH. I PAYS HIS RESPECTS MAINLY TO RAILROAD ATTORNEYS? TOUCHES UP BLEASE. | The News and Courier received Thursday nicrht from Senator Till man an open letter to the people of South Carolina in which he renews the charges he made last winter of subserviency to the railroads on the ! part of Legislators. The Senator's particulaCgrievance is the refusal of the railroads to reco g n i z e interchangeable mileage books in South Carolina. He says that this is an outrage and cites it as an evidence of too much railroad influence at Columbia. Expressing regret that the Legislature did not give him the opportunity to press his criticisms recently, he says that had this been allowed he would have cited the record of Governor Blease among others,.alleging that Governor Blease "cast the deciding vote on one occasion which defeated the mileage bill." Senator Tillman's letter in full follows: I?rtl 1 /\*t? PiflfiAiiot T Kotrn o i ciiuw v^iu^cuo. x wave a ftiitrance and I want to tell you all about it and ask you to use your influence to help correct it. It concerns every citizen. The [night I left Washington I bought two mileage books over the Southern railway for my wife and self. I paid $20 apiece for them? two cents a mile. They are interchangeable and can be exchanged for tickets over fifty-five railroads operating in the South. I exchanged this milpflffe for tickets to Calhoun. South Carolina, but I could not exchange it for tickets from Anderson 0 m to Greenwood |or from Greenwood to Columbia. 1 note on the back cover of the book this condition: "Coupons from this book will not be accepted on trains, nor on and after May 1, 1912, in exchange for tickets for a journey wholly within the State of South Carolina." The Southern railway has my $40 for these two books, and yet I cannot use them in the State of South Carolina. I call this infamous and downright robbery. Why? Because north ? 1 /M *- _ 1 I oi tne rotomac ana unio rivers miu westward to the Great Plains each system of roads like the Southern sells mileage at 2 cents per mile. No signature of the purchaser is required. One may use such mileage to carry his whole family as well as his neighbors and friends. All the railroads want or require is a coupon for every mile traveled by every passenger. Why this discrimina 1 tion'.' Are the Northern people any more civilized or better Christians J or citizens than the Southern peoI pie? 1 do not think anybody claims it, but all the same the people of South Carolina are treated as though they are criminals and convicts. Why? Because they have not sense i enough.it seems, to elect men to the Legislature who will compel the railroads to treat them fairly and justly like the citizens of other States j are treated. Investigation will show that a large number of the members of the Legislature are lawyers in the employ of the railroads. Many of them are traveling on free passes in South Carolina because the railroad rate l!" ? t thrnnch I Ulll, WHICH I Cllgiuci.n.u v...~-0.. j ; the United States Senate, expressly ! I provides in terms that no free passes j ! shall be granted by the railroads ex-1 cept to their employees, "attorneys,' | ! etc It is through this loophole that' ! the Legislators who are venal can be debauched. In every court house ^ ; town in the State some lawyer iep-. ' resents the railroads,sometimes mo.e I ; than one, and these lawyers are . ' 1 ten elected to the Legislature. If a i lawyer is elected to the Legislature I who is not already a railroad attorney,he soon becomes one, if the railroads want his vote. I want it distinctly understood that I am a friend of the railroads and recognize their great function in advancing the welfare of any community. But South Carolina has been very liberal in dealing with ' ? i . _ _i these people ana tney nave snown very little appreciation. A great hurrah was made when u the Legislature met and great ?ndignation was expressed in speeches in the House of Representatives because I had criticised members of the General Assembly about their subserviency to the railroads. The House passed the Rembert resolution demanding an explanation, and j I waited patiently for the Senate to Dass it also in order that I might tell the people why I made the charge. But no opportunity came, as th? Senate pigeon-holed it. I would have been glad to have shown the records from the House and Senate journals of certain men in South Carolina public life, among them Governor Blease, who cast the deciding vote on one occasion which defeated the mileage bill. Now, fellow citizens, this is not 9 only wrong, but it is indecent. Such . corruption and cowardice ought not to be tolerated by the people. A shaking up is needed and some men retired to private life to cogitate and ponder over the fate of those who betray the trust the people have reposed in them. This is a day and time in which the masses are more aroused than they have ever been in my lifetime. But while the people are wide-awake elsewhere, in South Carolina they seem to be asleep or indifferent to their rights. I do not advocate or believe it is right to require the railroads to sell interchangeable mileage, but each system like the Southern, the Seaboard or the Atlantic Coast Line should be compelled by law or by public opinion or by whatever instrumentality is necessary, to treat their Southern patrons the same as they treat their Northern patrons. I If I had the same strength I once had I would make it my special business to campaign this State, county by county, if necessary, to see that fewer railroad lawyers are elected to the Legislature and honest and sensible men sent in their stead. I know the South Carolina Legis- / 1 lature has no power or control over ^ ! interstate commerce, but the South Carolina Legislature has the power over taxation and other regulations, and it can make these railroads come , "i to taw and behave decently and fairly towards the people by putting on the screws wherever it is possible to do so. Thank God, all the lawyers in the State are not in the employ of the railroads or venal enough to be subsidized by them. 1 will do all I can in Washington with the interstate commerce commission, but the press of the State and the public men in it ought to have the railroads understand that & the people of South Carolina are not I to be discriminated against in this ?"1 way and will not tolerate being robbed as they have been. If we demand justice and our rights we will get them: if we do not, we do not de- \J serve them. What are the people of South Carolina going to do about it? B R Tillman. Trenten, S C, April 3, 1913.
