LETTER FROM ERNEST JO YE.

about Washington Trip.
Editor County Record:?
I thank you and the kind gentlemen
of dear old Kingstree for their
liberal contributions in paying expenses
for one of the grandest trips
old Ernest has ever had. I got in
Saturday after almost two weeks' solid
enjoyment and pleasure. Do you
wonder that I feel so grateful to the
gentlemen and our next Governor,

but saw the mistress,with soldiers as

on, standing by her. Our Congressman,
Hon J Willard Ragsdale,
sent his magnificent car around Sunday
afternoon, taking us out to the
National park and cemetery?the
two ladies, Ralph Tate and myself,
all from South Carolina, were the
occupants. I cannot begin to tell all
I saw or how I enjoyed my trip, and
how I regret that I am now to step

but to other boys [ beg to say
that a trip to our Capital is well
worth the labor and expense, to say
nothing of the other reward of
showing and demonstrating the possibilities
of the soil of our dear old
State and county.

A Letter to Santa Clans.
(Written for last week's issue.)
Columbia, S C, December 17, 1913.
Dear Santa Claus:?
The country children in South
Carolina have been very good during
the past year They have attended
school faithfully and have worked
hard. Their fathers have also worked
industriously and intelligently,
and Providence has smiled graciously
upon our State. They are all expecting
a fine Christmas and many
gifts from Santa Claus.
The Rural School Supervisor has a
special request to make of you.
When you are making up your gifts
for the boys and the girls of the
Palmetto State do not forget some
* "* i.-ci- x. i.L_ -i_:i
good reading suuaoie 10 me cnudren.
The country children in our
State have little access to libraries,
and many of them have in their homes
few books which they can read. We
should especially like to have you
bring them a good paper suited to
the boys and girls. The writer
formed his reading habits through
reading The Youth's Companion,
which came to him weekly as a
Christmas present when he was a
boy. Please send many of our boys
and girls in soutn uaronna a suoscription
to this or some other paper,
which will be a weekly reminder of
your love for the children. If you
will do this, we will promise you
brighter and better boys and girls
next year. Sincerely,
W K Tate,
Statt Supervisor Country Schools.

By JOHN J. BREEN.
WINGING like an aeroplane
through the atmosphere of
time, another year is gone
Each day brought Its quota
of happenings, fbine great and others
small. There were fast and strenuous
doings in the world of politics, the
grim reaper exacted itB usual toll,
playing no favorites; the menace of
war between the United States and
Mexico loomed large, and the Athletics
again showed the Giants how to play
the great national game.
President Wilson from the date of
bis inauguration started out to make
good on bis promises of tariff and currency
reform. After months of jockeying
by both branches of congress and
after many amendments had been
written into the original draft of the !
document the Underwood-Simmons;
tariff bill became a law. It is too soon
as yet to say just wnat enect it win
have on the prosperity of the country.
It has long Tieen held by some
statesmen that a new tariff bill will ;
be a panacea for all ills, real or imaginary.
Others have held that any
tinkering with this important subject;
would result in a national disaster. It j
is too early as yet to say who are
the false prophets.
Having succeeded In passing a new |
tariff bill. President Wilson at once
set about getting a new currency
measure Toward the end of the year
his supporters declared that he would
also win this fight. Just what kind of
a bill would finally meet the favor of
congress nonetvould say Some bankers

Sulzer Helpa Mitchel.
It is agreed that the removal of Governor
Sulzer was a big factor In the
New York city election. Many who
thought Sulzer guilty wanted to rebuke
the forces that sought his impeachment
Sulzer announced himself
as a candidate for the assembly in a
lower east side district in Manhattan
He ran on the Progressive ticket and
was elected. There was a union of
the forces against the Tammany Hall
candidate. Rdward R McOall. and

John Purroy Mitchel was elected
mayor.
President Wilson took a personal Interest
in the gubernatorial election in
Xew Jersey und was pleased when the
returns showed that James Fairman
Fielder was elected. Fielder has been
called a progressive Democrat, and his
election was regarded as a personal
tribute to the president In the November
elections also David I. Walsh,
Democrat was elected governor of
.Massachusetts, and Henry C. Stuart
Democrat was elected governor of
Virginia.
Whei President wiison entered 01tke
be was confronted with the tangleo
Mexican situation, and toward
the end of the year our relations with
that country came near the breaking
point. Matters became so threatening
that troops and marines were dispatched
to the border line. A great
lieet of American warships assembled
in Mexican waters, and the border j
patrol was re-enforced by several divisions
of regular troops.
Following the assassination of Fran
Cisco i. Madero Feb. 22 and the assumption
of the presidency by General
Huerta. President Wilson flatly declared
that this country never would
recognize the new order of things,
which was characterized as a rule of
blood and iron. This government figured
that Huerta was near the end of
bis financial resources.
The year had its usual quota of disasters
and accidents. When the wireless
on Oct 9 told that the steamship
Volturno was burning in midocean
there came visions of another
Titanic horror. But the wireless
brought quick aid to the doomed j
sbip. and HOO or its passengers were
removed In safety to other vessels
that answered the calls for help. One
hundred and thirty-six of her passengers
and crew were lost. There were
pathetic scenes when the ships bearing
the survivors docked in New York
city.
Floods Sweep Middle West.
The great floods of the middle west
which occurred in March aroused the
sympathy of the country for the sufferers.
For weeks great sections of
this country were under water. Entire
cities were marooned. Secretary of
War Garrison took personal charge of
the relief movement It was impossible

The lower picture shows an
news from the stricken territory, and
exaggerated stories of loss of life were
circulated. For days entire communities
lived on the upper floors of tall
buildings to escape the rising waters.
It was a common sight to see entire
families go drifting by on trees and
small frame houses carried along by
the rushing streams. A conservative
estimate of the damage to property is
$163,000,000
Other casualties which caused more
than passing interest were two wrecks
on the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad; a cyclone which
swept the central and southwestern
states, entailing a loss of over 100 lives
and several million dollars in property;
thirty-four killed and many injured
by the collapse of a pier at Long
Beach, Cal.; twenty killed and many
injured by the explosion of mill dust
in a Buffalo mill; fifty lives lost in a
factory Are at Binghamton, N. Y.;
twenty killed in a mine accident at
Tower City. Pa.; Hot Springs. Ark.,
was swept by Are. with a loss estimated
at $6,000,000. In a wreck on the
Mobile and Ohio railroad at Buckatunna.
Miss.. forty-Ave soldiers of the
coast artillery were killad and 100 injured.
Two of the socia: events of the vear I
which attracted more than passing interest
were the weddings of Miss Jessie
Wilson, daughter of the president
and Francis Bowes Sayre and Helen
Gould and Finley J. Shepard. Miss
Wilson and Mr. Sayre were married
at the White House Nov. 25 and went
on a honeymoon trip abroad. axr.
Sayre is a lawyer and when his engagement
was announced was attached
to the office of District Attorney
Whitman in New York city. Miss
Gould and Mr. Shepard were married
on Jan. 22. Mr. Shepard was a railroad
man. and Miss Gould met him
while she was on a tour of inspection
of the Gould railroad properties in the
west
Among the noted men who died during
the year were John Pierpont Morgan.
the financier, and Mayor William
J. Gaynor of New York city. Mr. Morgan
died in Rome, whither he went in
search of health. Mayor Gaynor died
aboard the steamship Baltic at sea.
He had just been denied a nomination
by Tammany Hall and had accepted a
nomination tendered by a body of citizens.
FTis death had a big effect on
the New York city campaign.
Other deaths in the year were James
R. Keene. financier and turfman; Dr
Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, founder of the
Lowe observatory: Captain Oric R.
Smith, designer of the Confederate
flag; James McCrea. former president
of the Pennsylvania railroad; Congressman
("Big Tim") Sullivan of New
York: Benjamin Altman. dry goods
merchant, and Charles G. Gates.
The crowning event in the sport
world was the triumph of Connie
Mack's Athletics over John McGraw's
Giants. Incidentally the series was a
rebuke to the knockers who are ever
ready to cry fake The series was
ended in Ave games, the Athletics winning
four snd the championship.
