Very few college professors re-
ceive more than $1,000 a year, and
in order to fit themselves for their
positions they must undergo a long
series of years in training. The
average ministerialsala is about
$500 and the minister who keeps
abreast of the times must do q
great deal of hard work. The av-
erage school teacher receives a.
bout $40 a month, and the school
the school teacher who keeps a.
breast Of his fellows must work
hard. After studying these fig
ures and then studying the figures
Of then studying the figures Of the
recent Jeffries-Sharkey fight one
will be no longer surprised to note
chat m ore boys take an interestin
oe Kin 3 lessons than they do in
lessons pertaiDg to mathematics,
grammer, and philosophy.
Jeffries and Shakey each spent
about sixty days in active prepar-
alton for the fight. Then they
fought two hours, Jeffries receiv-
ing $33, 1923 for his efforts and
Sharkey $ll,l4l for his efforts.
The average college professor
would have to work fifteen hou1s
a day for twelve years in order to
earn what Jefries received for the
lapors of two short months. The
average minister would have to
work night and day for about sew
enty years in order to earn as
much as Jeffries pocketed for
eight weeks work, and the aver
age school teacher would have to
teach school nearly 40 years to
earn the sum secured by the big
boiler maker. But Jeffries and
Sharkey are still on the make.
Each owns quarter interest in
the biograph pictures of the fight,
and each of them can get 500, OOO
for his interest at any within the
next month. From q financial
standpoint the vocation of prize
fighting is about the best one
known to the present generation.

Get in on the Ground Floor

This applies to two classes Of people.
Those who are interested for the pur-
pose of investment or speculation, and
those who for any reason desire to
change their business locations.
To any person in either class the
towns owned and located by the Chi
csgo & North Western Railway com.
pany along its new lines of railroad
now being constructed, offer the most
tempting inducements.
Prices of lots in these towns are
still absolutely on the ground floor, and
are sure winners either for Investors
or lOcators.
The North Western also owns nearly
one half million acres of splendid tim
Der land, adapted to general farming,
which is for sale at very low prices.

The war between Spain and the
United States has been officially de-
clared at an end, and notwithstand
ing this Uncle Sam is still fighting.
He is over in the Philippines trying
to civilize the Filipinos by extermi-
nation. The press dispatches show
that Generals Otis and Wheaton are
doing the ezterminating act all right
enough, but they seem to find Agui-
naldo like the cat with nine lives. It
has become a common thing for the
Americans to engage the enemy in
battle and come out with one or two
Americans wounded with several
hundred OF the Filipinos left dead
upon the field, at the same time the
government is requested to send over
more battlesbips and more men. 1t
must be that our forces are killing so
many of the Filipinos that reinforce
ments are needed to bury the dead
enemy so as to not retard the work
of civilizing by the exterminating
process.

The friends of Mr.. I. G. INilloughby
are exulting over the downfall OF Col.
Neal and claiming that the disclos-
ures are a yindication for Willough-
by. We do not see where that comes
in, as Mr.. Nilloughby, ectuated by
malice, made indiscriminate charges
against Neal and at the Investigation
utterly failed to substantiate them.
Now, without any specific charges, a
committee with an aim to be just to
the State and to Neal, take up the
entire business of the institution
from the very beginning and they
find considerable amount of negll-
gence and bad business management,
together with shortage Of funds,
none of which, as we recollect, were
among the specifications made by
Messrs. Willoughby and Allen at
that time. We do not, of course,
know what the final result Of the in
vestigation will be, but up TO the
present we do not see where the COM
mittee have found true the charges
made by Willoughby several years
ago. AS it is, it is bad enough, aud
notifying enough to Col. Meals host
of friends who cannot help but feel
very sorry for him in his sad misfort.
une and deep trouble. With all OF
his faults and with the dark clouds OF
misfortune hanging over lin he
is a man, and any one reading bis
testimony must be impressed with
this fact, that Bill Meals frank state
ments show that he did not intend to
do anything wrong. On the witness
stand he would not lie, but told the
truth, even when it was convicting
him. There have been other wit
nesses upon the stand in court who
did rot so favorably impress their
hearers with the truthfulness of their
oaths, and some OF these madesindis-
criminate charges, but failed when
the time came TO specify, and now
that the party charged has been
found guilty OF wrong-doing does not
carry with it q vindication of those
who slandered the man at some other
time.

A Pinkerton detective was en-
ployed to work on the Pinckney mur-
der case and when he landed in Char
lesion the Sunday News pinned a
badge upon his back worded, Il am
a detective, come aud tell me who
killed Pinckney and bring me his
hat" The detective carried this badge
all over Charleston last Sunday so
that the people might know that the
Sunday Newsis so anxious to capture
the murderer it actually adveItises the
movements of the authorities free Of
charge. o. course, when a dark and
dastardly crime has been committed,
and it is believed that TO keep down q
scandal, truth should be hid, giving
publicity to the movements Of a de-
tective will aid quite efectually IN
burying the truth. Now if there is
no scandal connected with the mur-
der of Pluckney, and the Charleston
authorities want to find out who kill
ed Pinckney the Sunday News is
giving them such aid that in the event
OF the murderer being caught the
Pinkerton will 10 doubt divide his
pay with that paper.

Is it not rather strange procedure
for newspaper to advertise the pres
ence of detective when one IS about
endeavoring to work out SO great a
mystery as is the Pinckney myste-
ry (?). Public opinion is so strong in
Charleston, and the prospect for a
miscarriage OF justice so great, and
the people are so greatly incensed,
that the officers have come to the
conclusion, show of some effort to
ferret out the murderer OF Pinckney
must be made or revolution in the
next municipal election will be the re-
suit. The city administration sends
for a Pinkerton detective, and when
he comes he falls right in among
those vino are suspected Of tlying to
suppress the truth to prevent light
being turned upon the dark mystic
ry. To further prevent the true story
of the cause of Pinckney's death ever
reaching court OF justice, the pres
ence of the detective is made known
by the morning paper OF that city,
which we have no doubt will have the
desired effect of making those who
sknow anything" be guarded in their
movements and expressions, and of
course make tue detectives task the
easier.
If there is an honest effort upon
the part of the authorities to get at
the truth of the Pinckney horror, the
Sunday News in our judgment made
a serious blunder in giving the pres
ence of the detective away, but If the
detective was only brought to Char
lesion for "bluff," then the "bluffers"
want the scheme carried out by let
ing the people interested know a
"Pinkerton man" is among them.

TIE NEXT GOVERNOR.

Who will be the next Governor OF
South Carolina? is question now
being seriously considered by many
Of the politicians throughout the
State There are numbers Of men
who have their political rods out
coaxing the lightning to strike them
and they are not averse to seeing
their names in print in connection
with this great honor.
We have been watching to see II
any of the leaders were going to put
forward a man, but SO far 1t looks as
though the leaders are going to let
the aspirants get up and nurse their
own booms. The attempt to launch
a Latimer boom did not create much
of furore, nor did the Shepherd
boom carry the people off OF their
pedal eztremities. OF course there IS
plenty of time, and there is really no
necessity for a mans friends to spend
themselves SO far in advance, never
theless certain element is feeling its
way in public sentiment.
Some say that Ex-Governor Evans
will loom up as a candidate when be
comes home, and if elected, McLau-
rim will have formidable opposition
in him for the Senatorsbip. Senator
Tillman has so popularized himself
by his Washington record that even
his most anxious enemies concede the
uselessness in giving him opposition;
therefore we may expect tame al
fair of our next political campaign,
because if Tillman has no opposition
tle gubernatorial race will not have
anything to attract the crowds. There
is no doubt that the prohibition peo-
pie will make another effort 70 elect a
Governor, but we believe they will
select some other than Mr.. Feather
store to lead them. He has proven
himself more of dickering politician
than q devotee of a religious princi
pie. The high license people may
again call forward Hon. 0. L. Schum-
pert to lead them, although they
would prefer "Uncle" George Till
man, and the dispensary advocates
may center upon Latimer or a more
conservative man, say Lieutenant
Governor McSweeney, who is be-
lever in the dispensaly system modi-
fed so as not to make the law obno1-
ious to any portion OF the State.
We believe if McSweeney becomes
a candidate he will draw large sup
port from both of the heretofore fac
tions, because be has never been an
extremist. and he is a thorough busi-
ness man with enough public expert
ence to fit him capitaNy for the high
honor OF chief executive.
