We are panied to learn that Mr..

the home Of his father near this
place. Mr.. Lown has been in feeble
health for long time and has been
under the treatment of specialists at
the Winyab Ssnitarium in Asheville,
N. c., with the hope of receiving
some relief from his suffering, but
medical skill failed to benefit him
and he was brought back home last
week with no hope of his recovery.
Attention is directed to the change
in the advertisement of Leaphatt &
Drafts. The members of this firm
are live and progressive young mer-
chants and are making things hum
and hustle around them. Their old
quarters became too small for them
and to meet the demands of their in
cressing business they have moved
into the handsome store in Kauf-
mann's Block, where they have open
ed up the most complete stock in the
clothing line ever shown in this
place and at prices never heard OF.
Call and see them.
The limit for applicants to file
their applications for appointm ent as
dispenser at Lewiedale should be
the 4th day Of December instead OF
the 3rd as it appeared in the adver-
tisement last week. Parties inter
ested will notice that they will have
one day longer in which to make up
their minds 20 file applications.

Col. James T. Bacon, of Edgefeld,

10 cents for children. A full house
should be given him.
VIM. Plstt, although but recently
embarked in the dry goods trade in
Columbia, is winning golden opin-
ions from the purchasing public OF
Lexington county. His store is
filed with the choicest bargains and
his clerks are pleasant and affable
and they study to please their GUS
toners 80 that it is real pleasure to
trade at his store. He will be glad
to serve all his Lexington friends
when in need of goods in his line
and assures them q hearty welcome
and the best bargains when they call.

ton constitutes a declining ratio 1t
was 14.S per cent. in 1890. and is 1874
per cent. to-day. In 1910 the ratio will
be but II per cent. and Mr.. Mulhall
believes that, il no changes occur, in the
middle of the twentieth century the for
eign element will form only small por-
ton Of the American people. The de-
cline of immigration he regards as Sc
rious feature, but he does not undertake
to say whether the results will be bene-
fetal or the contrary. With regard to
wealth, Mr.. Mulhall thinks that the ratio
of the previous decade has been contin-
ued and that the annual increase aver
aged 1917 per inhabitant.

neither harmful nor unbecoming. In
Southern countries the difference be-
tween honest independence, on the one
hand and what is improper, or perhaps
what is merely OF correct on the other
is not quite comprehended. National
customs and traditions have much to
do with this. In Some of the older
countries, where social usages are more
conventional, women could be induced
more easily to violate commandment
of the Dccalogue than a rule OF society.
The genesis of the various national GUS
toms regarding certain feminine propri
cites may be traced to the difference be-
tween eastern and western civilization.
For instance, in southern Spain, where
Arab or Moorish customs prevail, wom-
en- cannot go cut alone without calling
forth adverse comment. The Arabs and
Moors, as we style them In Spain, are
very Jealous of their women. I have
known lady to sit for hours In the
house of friend awaiting the return
of her maid rather than cross the street
alone to her home She was neither
young nor pretty Where Oriental civ
ilization Is strongest In Europe women
have the least liberty. In northern
Spain female restrictions are not quite
so aevere as in the south. In France
they are growing gradually less In
England women have more freedom
than on the Continent In the United
States, as have said, the fair sex have
reached the plentitude OF independence.

THE DEADLY GRIP.

Those who have had that queer dis
ease known as the grip and escaped
alive will not be surprised at the esti-
mate of its Importance made by two
New York doctors In the mortality rec
ords Of one of the largest American life
insurance companies prepared for the
insurance exhibit at the Paris exposi-
ton. 1t appears that while smallpox
and cholera have had little effect, la
grippe or influenza has reached the first
rank among the individual causes Of
death. Thirty years ago only one death
was ascribed to influenza. Then the
disease disappeared from the mortality
tables altogether until 1890, when TWEEN
ty-two deaths were reported. In 1892,
when la grippe was epidemic, 1888 policy
holders died from its effects; of these
all but four lived In the United States.
Since then the disease has attacked
with fatal results from twenty to for
ty-one pollcy-holders year. 1854 deaths
fourteen times as many as were re-
ported abroad occurring during the last
ten years. Influenza is described as a
disease of all ages, the largest number
of deaths, however, being reported
among policy holders between sixty
and eighty years old. Concerning their
data the physicians say: 'These figures
show only approximately the true i'm
portance of the disease as source of
While on the one hand the
term has often been enormously en-
ployed, on the other very many deaths
due to influenza have been recorded as
from pneumonia, because of the evident
local lesion. On the whole, the figures
rather than overstate the
rue mortality"

ELECTRIC no WING.

Electric traction for canals is inter-
esting many people in Europe The
Prussian government has been carry
ing on number of experiments on a
short length of the Finow canal, con-
Meeting Berlin and Stettin More than
$4,000 boats pass through this canal
each way every year. The majority of
the boats are tow barges, 1872 feet long,
Is or 16 feet beam and carrying $50 to
ITS tons at a draught of about s feet.
AS the boats generally go toward Ber-
lin loaded, returning empty, it has been
customary to employ horses for towing
or the Berlin trip and men as tow ami
mails on the return. The speed has av-
eraged about IA miles an hour. Along
the experimental section, which was
chosen because It is the most difficult
on the canal, being full of curves and
spanned by bridges, light railroad was
laid, the outer rail of eighteenth pound
section. On the larger ra5l was bolted
a steel rack to give the towing locomo-
tive the necessary resistance, as the
weight of the locomotive was INSULT
cient to cause very powerful adhesion
The locomotive was electrical, driven
from a trolley wire suspended above the
track in the usual way. While the ex-
periments have only just begun they
have progressed far enough to show
that electric motor towing will work
more economically than the older meth
DDS and give much better results.
When electricity is made to work on
canals it Is evident that modern prog
reSs is really rapid.

MIR, MULH4LL'S JESS,

We shall soon know how many we
are, and while we are waiting for the
facts it is well enough to pay some at
tention to the guesses of good guessers.
For instance. the guess of Mr.. Michael
G. Mulhall, the eminent English statis-
tician. Mr.. Mulhall believes that the
population of this country is between
10000, 900 and 76, 100000 This will mean
an increase since 1890 of 13,57S,00o, which
is not much greater than that Of the
preceding decade. The new arrivals for
the ten years will number 3,543, 900, but
not be ascertained, as many persons
leave the country The natural increase
is higher in this country than in any
other, being 1916 per 1000 inhabitants,
as against 40 in Canada and 1870 in
Germany, the countries next In the list,
the fact being due not merely to
healthy climate, but to favorable econ
omic conditions and a high standard of
living. A remarkable feature of the sit
uation is that, in spite of the great in
fux of strangers, the number of for
eigners in the United States grows but
slowly. The census is expected to show
an increase of less than million. Mr..
explains the paradox by assum-
ing that only three-fffths of the settlers
die in the country, the remainder return
ing to Europe or going elsewhere
The next census, we are assured, will
show a rise of 10 per cent. in the num-
Der of foreign residents. In 1890 these
numbered 9,2500oo. and this year they
number 1O,16OOOO The foreign popula-

territorial indemnity. Their apprehen-
sion seems to be well founded. They
will probably have all the trouble they
can attend to and it is not probable
that the final outcome will, be pleasing
to them. But they will have to stand
it, and perhaps they will be able to
learn something while they are stand
ing it. 1t is not supposed that the
United States will do any land-grab-
bling in China, but it will want such
damages as it is entitled to and 1.-The
