(Charleston Post) After all that has been experienced and endured in the political trenches for four years, amenities lost in the mire and conscience almost calloused it is almost increditable to South Carolinians of disinterested minds to find the conventions observed and discussion resumed in intelligent terms, instead of muddy scrambling and shrapnel dodging. It is almost too sudden to get gradually back into normal ways. Governor Manning perhaps, has a great opportunity, but happily he seems not to have thought too much upon the subjective phase of his calling to the high office assumed today, and, we venture to hope, that will not engage very greatly the attention of South Carolinians. To the people who want a decent ordering of their affairs as a condition precedent to the solution of serious problems of life, the opportunity of this or that individual is of no very great concern or importance, and that individual will have the best opportunity who burdens himself least with it. No on,. man can make the salvation of a democratic commonwealth. The governor of a state cannot make South Carolina a wholesome and a happy place. He can enforce the laws the* are made?if there are not too many of them?and he can give an example of sincerity and fidelity and h*. can be vigilant of the public expenditures and wise in recommending courses of conduct. lie cannot giv* good government; he can only preserve and extend it. Governor Manning makes no exaggerated claims for himself. He even irit'nu mridnnno rvf Itiimilifv 1 n ihn fnpn of his responsibilities. lie denounces nobody and he exalts no class. He ?? discusses, in a perfectly plain, matter oT fact and even homely way, the ordinary affairs which concern the daily life and the material interest of sen J sihle people, and he counsels moderate and thoughtful ways. He make, no promise of brilliant leadership; he does not celebrate a triumph nor proclaim a crisis. He catches up at the point where it was broken four year? I aero the thread of affairs in South Car ] olina and resumes constructive work. ; It is all so sane and simple, that, by I contrast, it is almost uncanny. It will doubtless take a (rood while j to set thinurs right in South Carolina I after the jarring1 there has been, but , j there is to be no time lost in. getting I about the work, however gropingly, if J Governor Manning is to have his way. j lie is ready to do his part and h?> , I calls on every other South Carolinian lo give a hand. > THE WAR AND THE FASHIONS, No one can study history scienti' fically without also studying contem. poraneous costume, for the temper ol the times inevitably reflects itself in I the fashions that it produces. The * I rich fancy of the Middle Ages foimr expression in voluminous folds anil magnificent embroidery, and in slip' pers so long that their toes had tc l?e held up i>y chains fastened to th , knee. In the time of the French Revolution the passion for republican* ism was so sweeping that the cos tumors wnt back to the days of re! publican Rome, and produced an a. dent if somewhat incorrect imitatior of the classic style?an imitation that was responsible for the short waist that came into vogue throughout France, and afterward throughout Kn,rland. le.j Today shows a similar transforma I tioii in style as a result of the greai I European war. although, to be sur< the winter fashions have not yet beer fully determined, since many of thi great French designers are at f*. front, and the frowns and the coat: that women are wearing now wer put out in the very earliest days o the conflict. A little while ago $1 000,000 worth of dyestuffs came int this country from Germany, but fo several months before that dyes hai been extremely difficult to get, am so putty color and sand color becam m" suddenly fashionable. And it wa 'ni"j not, as many people believed, the pre valence of mourning in Paris, bu ]in" the lack of colored dyes, that mad ,m. j black so popular. .ni. Military styles have been grade m. ally establishing themselves. Him m.j soldierly collars, belts with liti! .m. j pockets, suits with braided fronts an ? I epaulet effects, three-cornered ha ijs., and hats that bear stiff cockade gaiter-topped shoes, and flowin cam all are expressions of militar ! enthusiasm. The signs are ev? : more interesting because of the su j i ; i of the iu'lu neos of the Balk;. J War, as shown in sleeves of a di nt,' fercnt color from the rest of tl : waist, and in tin bailed hats ai I striped silk trimmings. ??' Ilut perhaps the most noticeable i ! fluencf that the war has had up' kl | style is shown in the new Cossa J coat. Belted in at the waist, wi its flaring, three-quarters-leng skirt, and its long, tight-fittii sleeves and its high collar, all cdg< with fur, it is an almost exact r production of the coat worn by tl Russian Cossack.?Youth's Compa ion. _ Wooden subway car caught fi and was consumed in eitfht niinut< Haven't heard yet what delayed coi hustion.

E-71 M T Replying to "Student" Jonesville, Jan. 26?I have an antipathy for newspaper controversies or any other sort of controversies, for that matter, but must reply to "Student" in last weeks' issue of The Times I don't know whether ' "Student" is a member of the Freshman Class at Clemson or not, hut it i very evident that he is very fresh as to the subject matter of my article to which he undertakes to reply. I made no reference or allusion whatever to Mr. John 1). Rockefeller's generous gift to Clemson College. I was only alluding to a report that Clemson was going to ask the leg islature (not my solons as "Student" ! quotes me) for an appropriation at the present session, which I thought would be excessive at this time in our country's history, and should as I thought be held up. "Student" . no doubt, is a good fellow and of . course he thinks ',great is Clemson", and well he should, for he is suck! ing the milk out of the State's big . free cocoanut at Clemson, and he I would be ungrateful if he did not ^Aitand-for the College. Rut it was quite different with me and all the i boys of my school days, we did not have Mr. Rockefelltr to lean upon or the State's big, free soup bowl to lap out of. My Daddy paid for mv (uliwvit inn ovortr ennf nf it nr.fl I . didn't trot to go over the State playing football and baseball, but I was i at school?on my job early morning till late in the evening. Every - school day the year round, this was true. 1 never attended college, L neither did I study the branches, but I believe I can break even with one . half the Clcmson students in spellt ing, reading, or writing, which is bet? ter, I think, than all the college rec i tape and sheep skins, a In my school days we did not haze for we were a high-toned set of stu s dents, and when a new scholar cami in we treated him nicely and triec f to make him feel at home, and goo< ( and pleasant. o I will repeat, that I believe "Stu r dent" is a nice, clever "fresh" am *1 i u ~ i T ...: 11 (1 llliU IK' UIIll 1 Will JUII1 llclllUM ill I* j not have any hazing.
