and for self-sacrifice in its behalf.
 The blight of literature in our time Is the cynical teaching that nothing is worth while if it does not "pay." And that blight has so far affected life and character that more than half the states have failed to furnish their quotas of volunteers for a war that is fought solely for liberty and the American idea.
 It is time for that revival of romance for which Miss Davis book so strongly ap- peals. It is time to disinfect our souls of sordid commercialism. It is time to teach our youth again that high and honorable endeavor is well worth while, even if death be its price; that honor and truth and self-sacrificing devotion are manly qualities to be cultivated at all hazards; that manhood means more than millions, and that the only thing worth living for in the world is honest self-respect.
 The critic must, of course, find some fault, else his function as critic must be taken from him. Thesone fault in Miss Da- wis book is that the narration is indirect. She begins by calling together a coterie and making one member of it tell the story in quotation marks to the rest. This is awkward It would have been better to let him tell the storey as author, without that confusing complication.
 But Miss Davis has written a very en- tertaining novel, full of wisdom, free from all affectation, rich in matured thought which is founded upon adequate scholar ship, habitually sound thinking and large appreciation of human nature. The work is incalculably wholesome.
 She should ''do it again." and the sooner the better.

WINNIE DAVIS'S
 NEW BOOK

George Cary Eggleston in the New York
 World.
 Miss Varina Anne Jefferson-Dayis-bet- ter and more affectionately known to the American people "Winnie Davis has been writing new novel, which the Har- pers have published attractively.
 And mighty good and interesting novel it is-by all odds the most entertaining one the season has produced.
 It is called "A Romance of Summer Seas" Its scene of action is a voyage through the Straits Settlements to Hong- kong and Yokohama. It is written in the limpid style of an author in whose hands the English language is a perfectly fiexi- ble instrument, completely under command and used only for the sincere purpose of conveying thought. There is not an affec- tation or a literary "pose" in the book
 The story is pure romance It deals with fascinating innocence assailed by vilely over-knowing suspicion, with purity of the most perfect sort involved in complication by ''onvy. hatred, malice and all un hal ita- bleness"--these evil forces hiding as they always do, behind pharisaical masks of eonvention and extensively militant moral tty.
 There are love-making and fghting-the letter bringing the duello into view in both it's sleyating and it's brutal aspects There are honor and shame, high-mindedness and e css detrsdation of purpose. And 1t all .nds well not only for the hero and hero.

THE EFFECTS OF DEwEY's ACT

From the NeW YOrk Sun.
 The effect of Admiral Dewey's act is to show onlooking nations that we propose to conduct our campaign in the Philippines in our own way, and will not allow them to say what ports. islands or territory shall or shalal not be taken from the Spaniards, either by our forces or by the insurgents, wherever the latter act on parallel lines with us or under our control. It is this that gives the Subig bay affair, perhaps, its greatest value. Its general result is to strengthen the impression among all na- tions that we are masters in the Philip pines now. The situation is made simpler instead of more complicated by the Spbg bay affair, and we are the better off for :r. thanks to Dewey's promptness, co~'a ye and good sense.

survace and elevated roads, those roads must provide seats for all passengers or carry such as stand free of charge.
 If this resolution is not what is commonly known in legislative parlance as a strike" it may result in much good. The resolu- tion, however, will not effect the cure at which it aims. It will not stop the crowd ing of cars. If those who stand need not pay, many will seek to board crowded cars for the very purpose of avoiding the pay- ment of fare. Entire relief vii not be ob- tained until the European plan is adopted, and no one is allowed on a car which has not vacant seat to be occupied imme- diately. The railroads should not be re- quired to carry people free of charge but they should be compelled to run enough cars to furnish a seat for every traveller.

inc, but for all the characters that are worthy
 Now, it is my conviction-and it is con- viction shared, as I have good reason to know by others whose lives are dominated by love of literature-that of all present needs in letters, none is so imperative as that of good honest, warm booded TO- nance, like that which Miss Davis has given us.
 Criticism has done its cynical worst to take the romance out of literature. It has ordered that there shall be mo more cakes and ale,' and that ginger shall no longer be "hot f the mouth" /
 Against this dogma all that is best in humanity protests.
 It is in romance that men and women find their ideals, their inspirations, their stimulus to high endeavor. Obliterate it., as a school of white-corpuscled writers have endeavored to do, and humanity must sink at once to the level of the brute beasts that are content so long as they are fully fed.
 So far have we sunk in that mire of false thinking that even the superbly he- roic performances of Dewey and sampson and Schley and Hobson and the Rough Rl- ders have not inspired a single poem wor- thy to rank with "Herve Riel' ehn Brown of Gettysburg er ei See It When He Wakes.
 In the sentiment .ierlics romance is all of enthusiasm. a-.d chivalry and warm boodedness that have made this world so far a world fit for honest and brave men and honest and pure women to live in, world in which strength is alert to protect helplessness. in which courage is recognized as virtue, and cold calcu- laf of fpfar fc mi 1cceDfed as a fit substitute for devotion to the right

WORK BEGUN.

The General Assembly Is showing
disposition to do business. A good
start has been made and if the pres
ent pace is kept up the outlook for a
short session with lots of good work
accomplished is bright. Clarendon's
delegation are at their posts and they,
too, have imbibed OF the spirit OF
push. Oar new Senator has already
been heard from, and his maiden
speech was in opposition to a pro-
posed amendment to the Constitution
which was 10 throw the election OF
Judges to the people, or rather into
politics. Senator Lesesne made a
telling speech in opposition to the
measure and the amendment was lost.
He has also introduced bill:t re-
peal the seed cotton license law,
which is being so generally violated,
even in this ordinarily law-abidi1g
county. Then, again, our Senator
has offered bill to grant authority
for municipal authorities to have a
system of exchange OF prisoners be-
tween county and town. The idea is
splendid one and we sincerely hope
the measure will be enacted into law.
Our understanding OF the measure IS
that town authorities are to be al
lowed to sentence parties for infrac-
tions of ordinances to the changing,
and if the town has not sufficient
number of such convicts to warrant
the employment of a guard, authority
is to be given the county supervisor
to take them upon the county chain
gang instead of letting them stay in
the lookup at dead expense to the
town. Then when the town wants to
have work done, the supervisor is to
give as many convicts as he received
and for the time that he had their
services. Should this bill become a
law, ordinances against vagrancy can
be enforced, and it will put stop to
able-bodied young men lettering
about the, streets.
Senator Lesesne has also placed
before the General Assembly a bill to
regulate the rates to be charged for
public advertising. The law as it
stands is unsatisfactory to the public
and the printer, and the effort is to
be made to correct the defects in the
law. So far we have every reason
to be pleased with our delegation in
the Legislature. They are looking
for the peoples interests, and We are
especially pleased with the beginning
made by Senator Lesesne, and after
he has become more conversant with
the rules of the Legislature we be-
lieve he will make his mark as a
sound thinker and an honest worker.

rArgust Kohn in The News and Courier.
Columbia, Jan. 16.-The General
Assembly of South Carolina has done
more actual work in the first five days
of Il session than has ever before been
done. It has not only done hard but
effective work, and not content with a
good beginning, has mapped out
abundant work for the future. Night
sessions have already been started.
The Legislation up to this time has
not beer radical, it has been far from
that. There have been an abundance
Of minor matters acted upon and bills
that contemplated useless laws have
been killed, because they ought to
have been and have not been passed
simply out OF courtesy to some mem
her. That spirit seems to be fast dy-
ing out.
The continued lack OF political feel
ing and the disposition to work are
thus far the two most consplcuo1s
features Of the Legislative session. At
the last session it was quite the uau-
sual thing to ask that anything be
done because it bore the stamp of
reform" and that old time slogan
was thing of the dim past. Meas
ures were considered on their merit,
except, perhaps, the dispensary ana

The Columbia Register was solo
last week for the sum of $4,000. The
sale as well as the bid was merely a
form to perfect the title. Since the
Register has been under the new
management we know OF no newspa'

ment. It is good newspaper and
we should not like to SEQ it go to the
wall, as some predict it will. HE
TINES had occasion to differ with the
Register and to take it to task for IN
fairness, but that was under the old
management. We do not always
agree with the views Of the Registers

fully that he is writer OF ability and
his writings are argumentative, net
abusive.

We regretted to read the fsherwo,
mans quarrel between the Columbls
State and the Register. If what they
saw of each other is true, then they
both have their breeches badly
patched, Eand they should now try &c
make an honest living by attending
strictly to their own business. Both
papers succeeded in hanging out
their linen for the public to gaze
upon, and we do not think We will be
accused of acting without authority,
when we assert the public does not
care rap if both papers are imbeded
in mortgages, and whether or not
either OF both ever extrlcate them
selves. The people want general
news and do not care to listen to pri-
vate woes. Columbia's city council
has commissioned Chief DAILY to listen
to peoples troubles.

no NEW FISH LAWS YET.

1t is noteworthy and remarkable,
in fact astounding, that there have
been no fish laws proposed this ses-
sion. The poor shad and sturgeon
and terrapin, if they only knew how
much has been done to keep them
alive, would be duly grateful; but the
law books have been filed By special
Acts until it got demoralizing, and
when Mr.. Shad or Sturgeon went
from one county to another he Lad
to ask the best constitutional lawyer
"where he was at" The Supreme
Courts holding one of the special
laws to be unconstitutional may have
checked the food of fish legislation,
but the session is not old and fish
bills may yet come in their old-time
glory and multiplicity.

The legislature in joint assembly
Yesterday reelected the following
Judges without opposition: W.C.Ben-

Aldrich, James c. hlugh, and in place
of Judge I. D. Witherspoon, who did
not stand for reelection, Hon. G. W.
Gage Of Chester was elected.
After the circuit judges were elect
ed, the proceedings were marred by
what we regard burning shame;
opposition was offered to the re-elec-
ton of Chief Justice AIcIver. Why
this was done we fail to see, when
even the pages in the legislative halls
could see that McIver's election was q
dead certainty. \ few men who would
possibly kick if they were given seats
in heaven induced Hon George S.
Mower of Newberry to stick out his
little political rod with the promise
that they would cause the lightning
to strike it. Mower allowed himself

By an overwhelming majority. Itwas
