In the death of Robert E. Gonzales
at El Paso this week South Carolina
has lost a brilliant son, and journalism
has lost one of its shining
marks. Since "Bob" Gonzales left Columbia
for the front many readers
of The State have looked forward to
the time when he would come back
home and again take up the work
which he put aside to enlist in the
National Guard. Death has claimed
him, and he will come no more to
gladden the heart and bring cheer to
the lonely. But he died for his coun-J
try. and his work and his patriotism
will live in the hearts of many through
the coming years.
Wo sincerely hope the gentlemen
who are contmplating the building of
a street railway system for Union will
he successful in their planning, for
we cannot think of any one enterprise
that would do more for our city than
would the operation of such a system.
We trust the city authorities will deal
liberally with the proposed corporators.
We do not see how there could
be a fairer basis for the granting of
the franchise than that outlined in
the proposed articles of agreement, j
Indeed ,the city has in these proposed
articles every reasonable safeguard
for the future protection of the city
and of the public. The question of
there being a 50-year franchise is not
unreasonable from any point of view,
and is no more than is granted to such
enterprises in every city. No man
nor set of men would invest $50,000
in some enterprise of public nature
without reasonable protection. We do
not think there is any reason in not
giving the franchise for the 50 years.
It will be 50 years and many more
before we get street cars for Union
unless there be given just such protection.
It will not be fourteen months
before the cars will be in operation,
provided the franchise be granted for
the gentlemen behind the movement
have already provided the necessary
financial sinews for carrying out th?
enterprise. It is to be hoped that the
city authorities will take a liberal view
of the matter and grant the franchise
without any great amount of haggling.
INEFFICIENCY FROM OVEREATI
V/^
1.1U.
More and more it is being demon- |
strated that a man's productive capacity
is lowered by overeating. This
is true, no matter what be the nature
of his work. Even the physical laborer
loses efficiency when the system
is closed by overfeeding. Still I
more noticeable is the case of the
mental worker. An overfed body is a
fearful drawback to the activities of
the brain. This is so manifest that
even a child cannot fail to appreciate
the truthfulness of it. Much of the
overfed condition -is the result, not of
too great quantity of food, but of ill
chosen or wrong combinations in
foods. And we do not have to go to
men of science to learn that these
things are so. We have "hog killing"'
time, followed with sick headaches,
socalled "bilious" attacks and a feeling
of general "eussedness." When asked
what the trouble is, we say, "too much
hog." 'I his we know to be so. the
only trouble being that we do not
make the double application which
might justly be made.
Christmas time is a 'great time for
overeating and for eating a combination
of foods that only the strongest
can get away with without serious
harm. Pickles and sweet milk, to
say nothing of a thousand other com
Dinations, will be swallowed at the
same meal. Turkey, pork, sausage,
and a few other meats will be capped
by a big plate of oyster pie, when any
one of the above dishes would be quite
enough meat for one meal.
At this season of the year we often
hear those inclined to "preach" warning
people to beware of the Christmas
toddy. This may be well enough, but
we venture the assertion that overeating
will make more dull, heavy heads
the morning after Christmas than will
the drinking of liquor, bad as the
latter may be.
