"BAT" GUANo IN TENNEssEE-On the
18th of March last some comments were
made in this circular on Charleston Phos
phate of Lime, which comments, though
perfectly true, unintentionally created dis
satisfaction and annoyance amongst inter.
ested PARTIES in Maryland and South Caro-
lima. Since that date ZOO tons of these
Phosphates have been consigned to outside
parties In this country, with results, (as
might be expected,) as unsatisfactory as
they well could be. 1t is gratifying there
fore to be able to turn to more meritoriOus

over sanguiRe, bids fair in its turn to startle

Is The Democratic Party Dead -!

1t may be seen, from a simple addition of
figures below taken from the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that the Democratic party is not
dead nor in dying condition. Politicians
who have deserted the old fold would in
vain endeavor to persuade themselves that
the old time honored organization is extinct.
1t would be very much to the interest of
Radicals all over the country if they could
persuade the people that such was the case.
A quiet shufaing out of the way, and de-
cent burial Of the Stonewall Democracy"
would remove every barrier in the way of
the Republican disorganizers to riot on the
little remaining substance of the country.
We know the purpose of those who would
herald forth daily that the Democratic party
is dead. 1t is to be gamer by such an event.
But there is so little truth in the assertion
that it does not amount to a good joke. The
Democratic vote in the four States of New
York, Ohio, Indiana and pennsylvania is
nearly one-half of the entire vote Of the
United States. Suppose We add to this the
Southern Democratic vote, can any one
doubt what the result will be? The nggre-
gate vote of all the States in the last Presi
Dental election was 5,7O0,333; of this Sey-
mour got 2695, 10, leaving majority for
Grant of 1913 only. If the Southern
people had not been disfranchised, to the
number of 100000, the result of the late
Presidential election would not have been
as it was Look on this, and then on the
other picture.

CURIOSITlES OF ADVERTISING. 4
How Lost Money was Recovered
After n Lapse OF Five Years.
Nov. l3, lS6s-t

Stories romantic, stories tragic,
stories of matters of commonplace
fact, stories almoss surprising the
furthest stretch of fancy, stories of
all kinds, and each revealing more or
less of that unusual though oft-quo-
ted sequence about fact being stran-
ger than fiction, might be given, bas-
ed on developments brought to light
through advertising. We give be-
low story in point-an "o'er true
tale" and one of many that might
be given--in connection with the
Personals" in the Herald: a.a
Five years ago Mr.. Homer e, Saw
yer came to this city from Boston,
He stopped at the Belmont Hotel, in
Fulton street. He had Sl,650 in
bank bills, which, for safe-keeping,
he carried in his pantaloons watch
pocket, and to make assurance doubly
sure as to safety, kept his pocket pin
ned. Being en- route to N ew Orleans,
he went TO railroad ticket office,
bought ticket, and carefully pinned
it as before and returned to his hotel.
He shortly missed his money, but on
examination found his pocket pinned.
The only conclusion he could come to
was that he had placed the roll OF
bills inside the waistof his pantaloons
instead of in his watch pocket, and
thus lost it. This was on January 8,
1864 1t rained hard all day. The
supposition was that the money soon
got mixed up with the slush Of snow
and mud Of the street, and with the
street refuse--for they cleaned the
streets in those days-would find its
way to some dumping ground, an ir-
remediable loss. . ' syL .,'1
"What shall / do about it2" he
asked Mr.. j, p. Richards, proprietor
Of the Belmont Hotel, after reciting
to him his loss.
Advertise in the Herald" answer,
ed the keenly penetrative Mr.,
Richards.

no statement Of the amount, was ad.

them. The average of losses in par
ticular kinds of business must be no.
ted, and premiums regulated accord
ingly. Even the personal character
of those who apply for insurance
must be taken into account, and allow
ance made for it. All this, and much
more besides, is essential to the prop
er conduct of an insurance office
and without it, the business is sure
to come to an unfortunate end.
Furthermore, it is apparent that
not only must the men who attempt
to carry on the business of insurance
be competent to the task, but they
must also have some other resources
to meet their losses than merely the
premiums they collect. With every
precaution the losses will, as we have
seen, sometimes exceed the premi-
ums aud then, if there be no capt.
tai to fall back upon, those who hold
policies are really not insured at all,
and in case of loss, fail of the relief
they counted upon. Hence the ne
cessity of some supervision of insur-
ance companies to assure the public
of their pecuniary ability, and to
protect them from such bogus con-
Germs as those which lately Aourished
in Jersey City-mere traps to catch
premiums, without any expectation
on the part of their managers of pay
ing losses.-[New York Sun.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
In 1916, the graduating class was the largest
that ever had graduated in the South Carolina
College This class passed q resolution that
every five years they would meet, during COM
naencement week, in Columbia, as long as
there was single survivor. similar resolu-
tion was passed by each succeeding class for
several years, including the graduating class
of ls49, which was much larger than the class
of 1916, and the largest up to that time In the
college.
Next week, IN accordance with the resoll-
ton, is the quinquenlal anniversary of the
class of lS49. Out Of the sixty-four graduates,
over forty still survive, and some of them have
won names for themselves in the history Of
our compassionated State, as their armess
sleeve or wooden leg will testify.
= simply write to inquire of those heroes and
friends, my beloved classmates, shall we not
once again meet and talk over the past, enjoy
the present, and plan for the future? The good
old days of college commencement must be
forgotten, or only remembered as we remem-
her the virtues of o deceased friend. Our
Alma Mater has ceased bearingaand died Of
her sterility. But let not her adult sons forget
the training she gave them. No no we must
cherish a deep and lasting fondness for the
good old time and place.
Hence / propose, my dear old classmates,
that we meet in the City Of Charleston, on
Thursday, the 18th Of next month, December.
