?Hie War of the Skirts. Other topics may occupy more space on the editorial pages, but the question of long skirts against short skirts is the livest issue of the hour. There is a mighty revolt against the hitherto undisputed rule of the Czars of Fashion. They have decreed that their subjects shall discard the short skirts, which have been for some y years the vogue and wear long skirts , instead. A gocd proportion of the subjects say they won't do it. Here is a sample set of resolutions showing . Va wom fVn TWt?J VUV IliOIUiWMViMwvw ? " ? about it: "Resolved, That it is the sense of , this meeting that the Rainy Day Club of America does hereby appeal to all women firmly to resist the mandates of the misguided designers and dressmakers, and to insist that their clqthes, including panels or other ; draperies, be nof; nearer the ground than seven inches, and that they be cut in such a manner and with suf- ; ficient material to permit of perfect , freedom of the limbs." It is a merry war, this struggle ( * between the Fashion Czars and their rebellious subjects, and it interests a great many more people, in this ; ? i' *J -a pare 01 me worm ai any rate, uuui the war or near war that is upset*" -ting the Near East. The participants are in deadly earnest. The wisest i military and strategical experts can- 1 not forecast with confidence the out- < come of the campaign, though most 1 of them, basing their judgment on J the lessons of history, seem to think 1 that the rebellion will peter out in ' the end. The Fashion Czars have ' always put down revolts against their ' rule; but it may be dangerous to ar- t gue from precedent, for this revolt i really seems to be the biggest that < has ever occurec . Moreover, the sym- j pathy of the bystanders, comprising : practically all adult members of the 1 male sex, is overwhelmingly with the 1 rebels. 1 What the male sex thinks about it, 1 however, really does not matter. In < the archaic language of a decade or so ago, masculine opinion cuts no i ice. If all the men of America rose < with one accord and shouted in one < voice for the ahort skirt* the effect 1 would be practically zero. This is < a war of the ladies, in which men are I not meant to mix, and the be-whixker- i ed scientists and be-spectacled phy- 1 sicians who try to help the cause of ' the short skirt by pointing out that it is more healthful and sanitary are i km ntin am ant tn I JLUUOg VUUVU UUU^IMO vtMv ?mv w ' do more harm than rood. But while ;i the men may not mix in the strug- '< gle, they can watch it as it rages and < utilize it perhaps for innocent gratification of the sporting instinct that < is in most of us. For our part we're : betting on the Fashion Czars ? Charleston Ne va and Courier. I o The office of a gasoline station is located where a storehouse of military supplies trnd a magazine existed when Bedford, Pennsylvania, was a frontier post in the eighteenth cen tory. It is a little stone house almost hidden among several low, rambling frame sheds. During the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794 more than 5,000 troops were quartered on the grounds adjoining it and President Washington and his first cabinet were once established a block away. The old house was also used as a detention place for escaped slaves who were caught on the underground railway. A resolution endorsing the administration of Hon. John R. Swearingen, as state superintendent of educa tion, was adopted unanomously by the state board of education at its quarterly meeting in Governor Harvey's office at Columbia Wednesday afternoon. The resolution expressed the commendation of the board for Mr. SwearingRn's work for the school system of the state, and for the cause of education in general. Mr. Swearingen will retire in January after 12 years of sen-ice as the head of the state's public school system. o The first known advertisement appeared in a Greco-Roman drinking cup, it is said.

NOTICE TO TRUSTEES. i ___ I To the trustees of Williamsburg County: If your school operates under the law guaranteeing a seven month's term, please give your careful attention to the requirements of the law. The law requires that each teacher 1 instruct not fewer than twenty-five nor more than fifty pupils, and that the average monthly attendance in each classroom be at least fifteen pupils. It is also very important that trustees do not exceed the State schedule of teachers' salaries. If 1 your school is failing to meet the requirements of the law in any particular, please notify me at once. M. F. MONTGOMERY, ! County Superintendent 01 juaucanon. 10-5-2t. NOTICE OF TEACHERS* EXAMINATION. The regular fall teachers' examination will be held at each county court house on Friday and Saturday, November 3rd and 4th. All prospective teachers should keep these dates in mind. If there are any teachers who have accepted positions and who are uncertain about their certificates, or who wish to raise the grades of their certificates, they should take the examination. The examination will be divided as usual into the primary, < elementary, and high school, and all applicants should definitely decide before reaching the court house as to which examination they expect to take. It will be absolutely necessary that all applicants take the examination both days, as they cannot secure a certificate on one day's work, rhe examination will begin promptly at 9 o'clock in the morning. All questions on a subject will be given out at the same time, and all papers taken up at the same time. Applicants who come in after a subject has been completed will miss that subject. Therefore, it is necessary that all be on time. I should like to remind applicants that holders of primary certificates ? ? ? fiiro rrrerloc may icaui ui uiv wo* holders of the elementary certificates in the first nine grades, and holders of thv high school certificates, in all clever, grades.
