The South Carolina State fair, which has been held annually at Columbia under the direction of the Agricultural and Mechanical association, will prob ably be omitted this year, partly be- cause of the competition expected from the Atlanta Exposition, but principally because the railroads are not ready to grant the usual concessions in rates of transportation. It is claimed that the exposition rates have been reduced so that from some parts of South Carolina the people can go to Atlanta for less money then they will require to visit the Columbia fair. This means certain Joss to the Columbia association, and in other respects the prospects are not en- couraging. Efforts to secure subscrip- tions from business men and an appro- priation from the Columbia city council have failed, and the managers of the association say plainly that the fair can mot be held. This result of unfavorable circumstances is especially to be regret ted because of the fact that the grounds

The Cleveland, Ohio, street railroad companies have gone into the advertis- ing business in novel way. They have had built several billboard cars. con- structed with the purpose of showing the greatest amount of poster space in the most obtrusive way, and these are kept running over the various routes through the city streets. The citizens don't like the cars, both on aesthetic grounds and because they would prefer to have the companies put on more cars for carrying passengers instead of crowding the streets with the trolley billboards.

The success of the popular loan issued by the city of Philadelphia will give hint to other cities. The bonds pro- svided for were at first advertised at three per cent. Bids were receivd for them from but a few bankers, and those who did the bidding did not care ito take many bonds. The mayor then decided to offer the whole lot to small Investors at par. At first there was no response to the offer. According to the Philadelphia Press people imagined that the bankers would take them. But after few days the small investors of the city began to inquire about the matter. Soon after, a steady demand set in, and 1t still continues. Over SS00,0 900 worth of the securities have been bought in small sums. Two or three days ago this class of buyers was augmented by a trust company, which, though it had originally refused ito bid on the loan, wanted $30,O00 worth of the remainder. Tn a few days the whole loan of $1, GOO will have been placed, and the city will not only have to pay less interest on the issue than bankers wanted, but will save commis7 sion.

Washington dispatch, ID: Some in
teresting evidences OF the amour Of
stationery congressman draw out OF
their legal allowances is shown by the
session accounts now being filed in the
clerks office OF the house of representa-
tives. Each representative and delegate
is entitled to Sl25 worth of paper, pens,
ink, pencils, ETC., every session OF con-
gress, and if he does not avail himself of
the full extent of his privilege he can
draw the balance in cash. In this con-
gress members have been unusually for
tunate, AS there has been three sessions,
emitting them to an aggregate station
cry account OF 1915. Not a bakers doz-
on has taken out the full quota OF sta
tionery, and a great majority has drawn
but a few dollars worth. One Of the ac-
counts recently filed showed that he
had drawn but 3 cents worth Of station
cry during the session, another was for
81 cents, while quite a number were be-
tween 81 and so. Each committee OF
the house 10 entitled TO a certain amount
OF pens, ink, paper, etc, every session,

this freely in preference to the trouble

race women generally will be free from
the vice of intemperance, and their

tobacco. They will also remain, as now,
less fond of late hours and general dis
sipation.
The NEW woman cannot be like
the man in these things and still be
strong enough to do business in compe-
tition with him; hence she will not SCI

was that first devised the scheme of put

money no one knows, but now, if we
except the ginmills and the banks, where
women cashiers have not yet found a
place, there are at least three women to
two menin every town in this fair land
who count up cash and make change
and in this way earn their bread.
It is more than probable that the first

was willing to work for less money than
the man whose place she took. This
was natural, for the men require more
money than their sisters. Crusty bach

the average man expends for things that
he might do without, If he could only
see it so, twice as much as the average
woman, new, " independent, self sup
porting, or of the old fashioned, less ag-
gressive type. For instance, in spite of
the wise and knowing paragraphs in the
papers, few indeed among the women
smoke. Among the men few do moi,
and this item of itself il big enough to
make q material difference between the
wages at which q woman and q man
al afford to work.
The lower wages demanded by women
for the same work undoubtedly held
them in. Because demands upon their
means were less they were not SO often
tempted to be careless rs to the meaning
of the little words mime" and ''thine,"
and it was soon found by employers
that cash was not nearly SO likely to
stick to the fingers of the girls as it had
been to adhere to those Of the men. 1t
is true that women cashiers have been
known to steal, but the instances
have been SO rare as to be in the nature
Of phenomena, and this can hardly be
said Of the men cashiers, as every one
knows. Besides girls are quicker with
the cash. and the combination Of lower
wages, great honesty and exceeding deft-
ness was naturally irresistible, as, in
fact, the attributes of pretty girls al
ways are, and the men cashiers have
had to retreat before their onslaught,
it is true, but none the less GER
tainly. Now there is no telling how soon

the numbe OF threeScore and ten, n
Of my loose shells a heap that should
not be less, when counted, than a score
of cores. These / must count before l
sleep, and afterward I must string
them. 1t is a weary task, this counting
shells, " he unused, as, with stiffened
hands, he piled them into little heaps
of FIVE and then grouped these in scores
of four piles each. But infinitely worse
it is to put them on the strings"
No more he talked as he performed his
task, though ere it was accomplished
he had broken half q score of shells.
Next day he sent to o young man he
knew who had slim hands and q bright
eye and was by all who knew him
counted honest as the day.
"See," said the merchant to the
youth; ''for counting all the shells men
pay to me for goods each day, and string
ing them as we'll ! will, each fourth
week, pay to thee score of strings, and
then, besides, within my tent thou shalt
lie down at night, and of the food that
I shall eat thou shalt eat"
And in this way, though ! have seen
no record of the thing, no doubt the
first cashier was set to work. The scheme
was good, and afterward it was adopted
far and near, and on the sculptured
tablets OF the cities of the long, dead
past, that once rose stately i'm the valley
Of the Nile, and craven on the bricks
of Nineveh, are records of the counting
of the gold and silver coin that then had
come to be employed i'm place of shells.
And it wa SO that some of the young
men that counted money in those days
became affected ~curiously. So much of
coin passed through their hands that
frequently their fingers grew to be like
birds claws, crooked and clinging, SO
that portions of the coin remained in
them and were not placed in the great,
strong treasure chests that i'm those days
were used instead of fireproof, drill
proof safes. And one cashier, whose
hands had counted scores ON scores of
coins, was caught, redhanded, SO to
speak, as, standing by the ace track
just outside a city's walls, he wagered
all he had upon an elephant, whose
owner put him up to q against q
horse. This luckless chap was taken to
the execution place, where, with a keen
sword, he was beheaded as q warning
to all others in the town who counted
cash for bread. ,~.
That night. another one, to whose
hands coin had stuck, arose and fed to
a far land, and all the merchants in the
place looked up their cash, when it was
found that many more had stolen coin.
And men invented then the phrase
crime wave" because they thought
that evil, done by one, begat in other
men the impulse to do wrong. Yet, had
they thought the matter out, they would
have seen that all along the stealings
had gone on, although in truth they
were found out all in a lump. There
was a wave" indeed, but twas of
wakefulness, not crime.
Possibly this may be a bit fanciful,
and yet it could not have been long aft
er the introduction of a circulating me-
dunn and the downfall of the barter
system that cashiers were found neces-
sary. Today the cashier is as useful as
the salesman, or the bookkeeper, or any
other absolutely necessary functionary

are passed, and here had been a tacit
understanding that it should be with
held for a time.
When the bill was reached, Mr..
Warner moved that it be recommend
a motion to make it a special order
for Tuesday, March 5. Mr.. Feig cited
as his reason for desiring a postpone
ment that he wanted to hear from the
committee asked for in the resolution
by Mr. Anderson for a committee of
seven to ascertain whether the Min
neapolis exposition could not be Sc
cured for temporary use. He did not
especially attack the bill on its merits,
but argued for delay.
Mr.. Warner explained
THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL,
showing that it did not call for any
additional appropriation, but simply
called for a transfer from one fund to
another Mr.. Jacobson here took issue
with Mr.. Warner and declared that
the bill did call for an additional ap-
preparation. Mr.. Sander proposed to
remedy this, which was only fault IN
the phra seology of the BILL, by an
amendment. Mr.. Johns declared that
there was not man in the house who
would deny that a capitol was needed.
Eyes there is replied country
member.
Then you have breathed the foul
air of this room to very little pur-
pose replied Mr.. Johns, and pro-
ceeded with his argument.
After a long and warm argument,
in which Feig and Jacobson gave the
city representative clearly the worst
of it, it was decided to make the bill
a special order for March at p. m.
Adjourned.
