Coluinbi will entertain the shortham writers in line style. There wil be nothing short about the en tertainuieut of the stenogra phers. It is stated that President Wil son has formally approved of th proposition to spend five bun dred million dollars during th next five years to build up great navy. Some people tliinl that in live years European na tions will be so worn out wit! war we won't need a navy. Bu you never can tell. The third cotton ginning re port of the season as giveu b, the census bureau at Washing ton puts the figures at 5.7li},il4 ball's. South Carolina had gin ned of this amount 581 978 bales This was 47 per cent less tha the same period last rear. Wit! this showing cotton ought to ad vance as the crop must be abou all in. It seems that the President c China has come to the conclu sion that the Chinese need u Emperor and furthermore tha he, Yuan Sliih Kai, would malt a fine Emperor. Mr. Yuan et probably knows better what th Chinese need than we benighte< foreigners and if they want t throw oil' the republican form o government it is their business let them throw. A London cable says the Turk have massacred the entire Amer i :au population of Kervasund oi the Black Sea. If the grea struggle should result in wipiui he cruel Turks from the man o Europe it would be some recom peuse for the war now in pro ^ress. We would enjoy our owi turks on Thauksging day if th socalled human Turks were elim inated, Dr Charles Parkhursthas dis covered that we in America havi no specific name as we ought n have. He says: ' The man in Eu gland calls hhn self an Englishman; in France i Frenchman; in Russia a Russian The citizen of the United Statet can apply to himself no dcsigna lion similarly exact, none mon exact and specifiic than Ameri can, which is neither exact noi specific.'' Uncle Sam's children have go along pretty well so far withou any specific name and guess w< can continue to wag along, as w< are. The good Doctor does no seem to have any name to offer. x A NEW CHICAGO There were 7,125 saloons ir Chicago and because they wer< forced by a new law to close or Sundays only 809 saloons have applied for license. Sunday must have been the Haloons big gest day in Chicago. As the li cense tax was $1000 for each sa loon, the windy city has to fine some other source of revenue tc take the place of the lost saloons but in this case the loss is i gain. When the city of Knox ville voted out the soloons it was prophesied that the city wa? ruined. Hut Knoxville after sev eral years of prohibition is one of the most prosperous cities oi the South. The big bre wry that had to go out of busings was .w. turned into a shirt factory, and ^.better business was conducted SBther houses that wereelosed. Cattle Making Good /One of the exhibitors of tine s eattU at the State fair wa>> S. D. Cross of Chester. He had 29 "white faces." as the Herefords are known. It is more than 10 ' years since Mr. Pross began to f exhibit beef cattle and his stock j lias been generally admired. He has now between 80 and 100 I head of his own raiting. One oi 3 his bulls weighs upwards of 2,500 C pounds when in condition. The Hiuhlanil Park Mill nl Hock Hill is another exhibitor ^ of fine cattle, although present. ing only a few anitnalr. Mr. E. f II. Johnston sent down a bul . in beautiful condition and the 0 steaks on this big fellow would make an epicure smile with de a light. Nothing in the United States is finer than some the beef cattle exhibited at the r State fair. r L. I Guion of Lugoir had the n largest exhibit of beef cattle. a He has one pen of 18 calves that i\ are beauties, all Herefords. Mr. II Guion has raised over 800 calves - of this breed, and has demon - strated that, beef cattle may be grased in South Carolina all tin year around, as against aboui [. nix or eight months on the . e plains. Furthermore, he has de- i t monstrated that the climate and * e the grasses of the middle part ot a the State make just as strong t If cattle as the hill country. 1 i- During the past year an agita- 1 d tion has been going on to get j t the farmers of the State to form i clubs for the purpose of buying ' bulls of the beef cattle breeds t !- Mr. Cross says that he has a: c y fine cattle as can be found in the West, and he will say the , 7 same thing for Mr. Guion's. t i.

"If you will givo us tho convicts to mild roa<la through tho mountains here are 7,500,000 acres of arable land in the eastern plateau of tho Sierras i >inf rnn Kr? nno?\n/l " ' UMV VUI1 UVJ UJIOU^U i.V/1 DC HlOJUtUl, laid Charles F. Stern, highway comnls8loner of California, In supporting ho bill which passed the California eglslature to porjnlt prisoners to bo tmployed in road'building. California prisoners have not been smployed In this work other than in i small way around the prison, but he need of opening the mountain dis.ricts has started road building by he prisoners. . The act Just passed Is modeled after I Colorado legislation, under which ex- I :ellent results have been obtained. L'he highway department Is authorized o mako requisition upon the prison lopartment for the number of convicts oquired, and is to organise and malnain the camps a3 woil as supervise ho road work. The prison departnent. however, retains control over ho discipline of tho prisoners, and, alhougli the national committee on jrisons and prison labor believes beter results can be had under the West Virginia system, whore tho prison dciartment maintains tho camps, both he convicts and the state of Cali'ornia will assuredly benofit under the tew legislation. The men aro to bo worked under the j iuiiui Hjsifiii, ami ino prison uepartncnt Is rnipowered to grant additional ?ood time allowance to convicts emiloyed In this work, conditioned upon heir loyal, obedient and efficient coiperatlon with the stato. To bring about the earlier compleion of the state highways which will nako the isolated regions accessible, he bill went Into effect ninety days ifter the adjournment of the lcgisature. Reporting the successful passage of he act to the national committee on irisons and prison lahor, Mr. Stern vrites: "We expect to use from I 1,000 to 1.C00 convicts on our mounain roads, and a year hence will Good Road Through Mountain Pass. ioubtless havo very interesting facts o relate." California is the last of the western tatcs to employ her convicts in this ray, and it is hoped the new legislaion is a step toward tho reconstruoion of her whole prison system along he lines advanced by those who have ho welfare of the convict at heart. Bottomless Illinois Roads. While tho American submarino that an cross tho ocean and come back on ?ne helping of fuol is a great machine, ho perfected submarine will be able o travel on the bottomless "roads" in outhern Illinois after a rain.
