Editor Appelt.
The sudden passing of Editor
Louis Appelt last week was to us a
distinct shock and we can scarcely
realize yet that the big, strong man,
seemingly the embodiment of health
and vitality, has been thus ruthlessly
stricken down, almost without
warning.
We have known Mr Appelt for
seventeen years and have always
esteemed him as a personal friend.
He had hundreds of friends all
through South Carolina, who are
shocked and grieved by his death.
Among the newspaper men of the
State he was very popular and his
paper was a welcome visitor to every
exchange desk.
?
He had striven long and achieved
much. He now sleeps. May he
rest in peace.
As was expected, the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm in turn decided to intern,
too.
In many counties just as the
proof reader loams to put three
"u's" in it the Chautauqua is gone.
The German newspapers ridicule
President Wilson's administration
as a "joke". Well, even at that,
far better be it comedy than tragedy.
John Bunny,the idol of millions of
cinematograph patrons, died Simday
at his home in Brooklyn, after
an illness of three weeks. Bunny
was a prime favorite, especially
with the children, and his antics
earned him, it is said, a salary bigger
than that of the President of the
United States.
Don't you know those old veterans
believe that if Lee and Jackson
were in command of the Allied
forces, with all that tremendous array
of men and equipment to back
them up, the European war would
soon be brought to a close? We
believe oureelf that with both these
matchless leaders on one side they
could have taken either European
army and licked the other.
With all her "'sassy" talk to
"Uncle Sam" Germany doesn't
hesitate to use our harbors for repairing
or interning her merchantship
destroying sea rovers without so
much as'' by your leave''. When Germany
wants a favor we are neutral
all right, but when the Allies ask
one, no matter how reasonable and
legitimate, the United States, by
granting it, is forthwith subjected
to a severe preachment on what constitutes
the rights of a neutral nation
toward belligerents.
APPRECIATION.
Mr. Chandler Commends Work
of Misses McLees and Edwards.
Editor County Record:?
Will you allow me space through
your highly appreciated paper, not
to seek notoriety, but to express
my views, as I see them? If I am /
correctly informed the good work!
that is being carried on by Miss
McLees arid Miss Edwards will soon
be discontinued. If this be true
shame be upon our*grand old county
of Williamsburg. I have been watching
with great delight the good
work of these noble young ladies, as
they travel throughout the county,
carrying on their good work with a
I horse and buggy, taking lunch with
them in order that they could cover
all the territory possible. Have we
any men- that would do as these ladies
have done? I say no. The men
would stop with some one and get a
warm dinner,not caring whether they
ever got around. These young la-1
-
dies several times stopped at my|
home and urged me to do more than
ever to help carry on the good work.
Any man that can't see the good
work these young ladies are doing
and appreciate it enough to come
out and endorse their work, I fail to
see what manner of manhood they
possess.
I have had the pleasure of visiting
Marion county and had the great
pleasure of meeting Miss Brown and
Miss Adkins, who are doing the
same work. If those who are opposed
to the continuation of carrying
on the good work done by Miss
McLees and Miss Edwards would go
to Marion and meet Miss Brown and
Miss Adkins and see the good work
they have done and not change their
mind, I fail to see their mind. These
young ladies have had no encouragement
from their Superintendent of
Education, but the good work goes
on all the same. I am glad to say
that our County Superintendent of
Education has rendered Miss McLees
and Miss Edwards all the aid he
could, which I think the good people
of our county should endorse. I am
glad to say that Miss McLees and
Miss Edwards are not without
friends, either of them can secure
good positions, and it would be an
^ 1 Al
honor to any county to nave mese
noble ladies cast their lots with them.
I wish to openly endorse Miss McLees'
and Miss Edwards' good work
and say that the good work done by
these ladies will shine and it can't
be hid under a bushel, but what it
will shine, so that those that are opposed
to continuing these young ladies
can't help from seeing it, and
be men open to conviction and come
out like men and say so, and not try
to rob these noble young ladies of
their good work.
I will call attention to our last
Field day. That needs no comment,
speaks for itself. Young ladies, go
on with your good work, those that
oppose you can't rob you of your
good work, the good people of Williamsburg
who are interested in the
welfare of the young ladies and
young men should endorse the good
work of these young ladies and ask
them to continue their good work.

YUKON RIVER LITTLE KNOWN
t Average American Unfamiliar With
the Characteristics of the Great
Alaskan Waterway.
j The Yukon means so much as a waterway
to Alaska that a report by the
United States geological survey on its
discharge at Eagle and on some of the
, great river's characteristics have especial
interest. The Yukon is the fifth
! river in size in North America. It
' drains an area of 330,000 square miles
and its length, including the Lewes
and Teslin rivers, is 2,700 miles. The
Mississippi-Missouri rivers are 6,000
miles long; the Mackenzie, 2,868; Col[
orado-Green, 2,000, and Ohio-Allegheny,
1,300.
1 The discharge of the Yukon varies
? from a maximum of 254,000 cubic feet
a second to 10,100 cubic feet, average
of 73,200. This discharge is relatively
small compared with the average flfrw
' of the Mississippi, 695.000; Ohio. 300,i
000, and Colorado, 23.300. The Nile,
?"L - ~OMO nt 1 Don
I Willi m uidinagc ai v/? vi
square miles has an average flow of
116,000 cubic feet a second.
The comparatively small flow in relation
to its drainage area is attributed
to the fact that the interior of
Alaska has the small rainfall characteristic
of that portion of the United
States that lies between the Rocky
mountains and the Sierra Nevada
north of the latitude of Salt Lake
i City.
The Yukon means so much to
Alaska and the territory means so
much to the United States in gold
production and in other latent mineral
and other development that the lack
of general knowledge regarding its
characteristic must be surprising to
the sojourner in this country who
comes from its banks.?New York

' IS WORLD'S RAREST PLANT
I
f Thia la the Silversword, Which Growa
in Profusion on Hawaiian
Volcano Slopes.
The rarest plant in the world grows
in Hawaii, a fact which is unknown to
all but very few of the thousands of
tourists annually visiting the paradise
! of the Pacific. It is the silversword.
Its very name is odd and unusual, at
once arousing the curiosity and the interest
of the stranger who chances to
> hear it. It is a cactuslike growth, the
i long, silky, gray leaves of which give it
its peculiar name. The reason for its
rarity is that it is found only on the
most inaccessible slopes of the vol,
canoes of this group of islands.
From the earliest times it has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
i the native Hawaiians, who called it
"ahinahina" (gray-headed), becauso
they had never, before the coming of
the white man, seen silver, and there'
fore could not apply to the plant the
cognomen which so well describes it.
All who have found it prize it more
Uaininiiv than /in Alnlno cHmhers

treasure the edelweiss; it is far more
. beautiful a thing and more difficult to
obtain than the famous flower of Switzerland.
Catamount Robs Farmer.
Adam Sterner, an Augustaville,
Northumberland county (Pa.) farmer,
' had an experience with a huge catai
mcftmt that almost turned his hair
gray. He was driving to the Sunbury
markets with a load of produce, and
' was passing through dense woods
when he felt a heavy body land on his
wagon, followed by spitting and
"meowing" that were hideous.
' Looking back, he saw two big balls
of fire, the eyes of the largest cata.
mount he had ever seen. It was pawing
at the canvas cover he had over
his load. With a revolver, the fright
ened farmer fired twice. At the dis.
charge of the weapon the cat Jumped
and escaped In the darkness. When
? he arrived at the market two fat
, dressed chickens were missing.
War Booms Home Brewing.
The new beer tax in England has
- had the effect of reviving the obsolete
. art of home brewing in the countrjr
districts. If home brewing becomes
widespread, one of the main sources
to which Lloyd George has been looking
to raise funds for the war will
j be cut off. The brewing industry
r will suffer. Ale can be brewel at
home at 1*6 cents a pint, or 4% cents
l cheaper than it can be bought at a
public bar. Small householders paying
less than $50 a year in taxes ars
allowed to brew for home use free
from any excise tax. Empty casks
, are bought up to store the home
brews, and brewing coppers are lent
among neighbors.
| French Physician in Demand.
Doctor Doyen, the French surgeon,
is generally considered to be the
11 wealthiest medical man In the world
1 He Is also one of the busiest, and It
Is proverbial in Paris that no healthy
' man can ever get a talk with him. Patients
come from every part of the
. world to his private hospital in the
, Rue Duret, and in recent years he has
had all his more important surgical operations
clnematographed, with the object
of leaving exact records of his
work for the aid of other surgeons.
