Herbert, who was p( President Cleveland's secretary ai >f the navy, says that readiness ^ for defense is a preventative of ^ war, not a spur to it. That seems to be a reasonable and sensible i IV proposition but Brother Bryan j ioes not think so. We think ' i Brother Bryan's thinker some- tl times out ?f order. ' ti Mrs. Mary Robert Rinehart, ^ i ^ the famous novelist, has just returned from Kurope whore she spent weeks in the trenches. 1 u She was ' iio of the executive of-! e ficers of the Belgian lied Cross! j Society and is thoroughly in-! ^ formed of the war situation injj. Eurojie. She says in a letter to!^ the New York Times : "The one greatest thing I have brought back from Europe is my sunse r of our own need?our need to s defend ourselves." She also <. says: "It is because I want to j keep our nation at peace that I t feel so strongly about preparing for war." The very dullest school boy s knows ami acts upon the princi- , pie that it is not safe ti light a boy bigger and stronger than he is. President Wilson is right in asking that the nation be pre- < pared for war ?for war of de- ? fense if the occasion arises. It 1 will be too late to prepare after ! we are attacked. It takes both : money and time to put such a ' nation as ours iu condition for > defending our cats and our big cities. ' THE SEABOARD'S ADVANCE The Advertiser published last week a statement as to the plans of the Seaboard Air Line railway that showed that a great system of Southern railroad is in process of development In this system South Carolina will bo vitalh" interested In acquiring over 300 miles of railroad and iu building about 85 miles of new road between C harleston and Savannah the Seaboard gains entrance into two important South Atlantic ports, Charleston and Georgetown. The completion of the link now in progress gives the Seaboard the shortest line from the Cist to Florida and we all know that the great tide of winter travel from the East to Florida brings the millionaires of the North and the health seekers to the South?all of whom have money to burn. ft is highly creditable to Mr. Warfield, of Baltimore, the largest individual stockholder, that this road is building an 85 mile extension at a time when no other Southern ?abroad is making any great extension and has made any since the beginning of the European war. Another line of action that will add largely to Mr. Wartield's hold upon Southern business men is that i;; selecting heads of the great railroad interests that he controls lie has taken Southern men for the^e high and responsible positions YV. J. Hatalum. a S >ut!u rii born railroad man was made president of the combined road. Charles 1? Capps, of Virginia, vice president. Two new vice presidents were named, W- It. Donsal, formerly president of the Carolina, Atlantic ifc Weston, and W. Ij. Seddon, promoted from the position of assistant to the president. Mr. Honsal who also becomes a director of the Seaboard, resides at Hamlet, X. C. He is the principal organizer of the several railroads in North and \ South Carolina which were! merged into the Carolina, Atlantic <fe Western railway. Mr- Seddon, promoted to vice president, has been identified with the Seaboard for 15 years, starting as ussisaut engineer, becoming chief engineer and then promoted to be assistant to the president C.

I o with all these changes and nprovemeuts cf the Seaboard e South Carolinians may exect great things?perhaps even [i improvement of the r?>ad to hesterfield. Why not? WHO'S BACKING KITCHIN The Wall Street Journal says: Ir. Kitchiu wants to investigate tie preparedness agitation, and rants to know who are behind he movement. Why not invesigate the anti-preparedness agiatiou? Are thi Germans behind ir. Kitchiu? Henry Watterson's Courier | ourual says Thanksgiving turk iys at thirty cents a pound in sTo\v York makes thankful those who can afford it- Others ate hankful that they do not have 0 have turkey to be thaukful.

It has been suggested, too, that, an aeroplane of this ch&rac ter might carry a torpedo and swoop down over a land-lockeo harbor to attack a fleet sheltered there behind the mines and shore defeases.

Some Amqs bames For Small Children When a party is to be Riven for the youuger members of the family circle the older girls can Bhow real talent ir. helping plan ihe function which is the event of the year to the smaller fry. "Hitting the Pig." There are a number of oldfashioned games to which the present geneiation has never Oeen introduced, and they are Aorth trying at your next juve- ' nile gathering. For instance, there is what yonr mother used to call "hitting the pig," a most inelegant title, but a trial of skill which all children will oi j >y. Spread upon the floor' a big square of canvas or a sheet and suspend from the ceiling directly over ihe middle of the coverinc. an ordinary paper bag filled with tiny pretzels and animal crackers, popcorn, and broken or clear candies. Ilav % the string long enough so that the bag wiil swing easily. Place a child about 6 feet from the bag, with his eyes blindfolded. Place in his hand a stout cane, turn him around three times, and bid him take four steps forward and then hit the "pig." Nine chances out of ten he will strike in directly in/ opposite direction and all the luldren will snout with glee. lie has t hree chances, and failing ti i.uiatthe bag must yield the stick to some other child. W hen t he stick finally strikes the bag the latter will burst and the ohildien are permitted to scramble fur the shower of g->od things Several of these bags will be r< quired and they should be low ei.uugli for all the children to have a fair chance. Here's a Priza Game. Prize g tines of all sorts appeal to children. You will be surprised at the number of pretty little things you can pick up fur 5 cenis, from rubber balls and whistling balloons for the little tot* to nice n.aint honk*, ho^es of (lominoK, &c , for those a trifle older. A variation on the old fishpond idea is this: Cover a clothes basket, or^tub or large bowl, ac' cording to the number of your little guests, with tissue or other thin paper, in which small round holes have been cut. Through each hole run a string. These i may be of different lengths and colors and the end of each is at tached to a small prize or pres ent in the receptacle. Each child chooses his string, but can judge nothing of the prize to be 1 drawn by the length or thickness 1 of the string, and then, when they all pull together, the paper I covering flies into a hundred pieces and out pop the prizes. Peanut Hunt. Another game, for which only two prizes are provided, is the > npunnt, hunt. For this, hidn peanuts in every conceivable place on the lower floor?behind picture?, in the tutting of chairs, in dark corners of the carved furniture, &c. The children are then instructed to hunt, taking care not to touch bric-a-brac or vasep, where no nuts must be hidden. This will keep them busy for perhaps ten minutes; then the nuts are counted, and the one who has found the most nuts receives the first prize, while the child standing n?xt on tlit- list receives a consolation prize. These can he penwipers With wee figures 011 them, made with peanut heads and gay fla.inels or silk shirts. County rights on lever milk churn, churns two gallons in J] 1-2 minutes. A child can run it.
