Within the next few months the
government will print brief, detail
ed history of American journalism,
tracing its progress from tho estab-
lishment of the first newspaper, print
ed iu this country, down to the pres
ent day. It has taken the author,
Mr.. Ralph n. McKensic, over three
years to secure the data and make the
research necessary to complete this
work. The progress of journalism in
the United States has been rapid and
comprehensive, spreading to all parts
Of the country so that now every city
of any consequence has its newspaper
plant.

The editor Of the Ramberg Herald
is certainly on the right line when he
says: "It is time for newspapers in
this State to quit having Mysteries
over lynchings. Just 80 long as
negroes commit outrages on Southern
white women just so long will lynch
ipgs continue. The lynchins in An
derson county this week has been
made the subject of several editorials,
but it does no good, SO why waste the
space. We are not in sympathy with
lynch law, but we see no good to come
ofour shooting off our mouth about it.

The cotton crop Of the South as es-
timated by New York concern is
8,547 ,473 bales against 0,474 OBJ last
year. The estimate for South Caro-
lima is put at 5s8, 8,168 against 780,782

it seems that the price ought to ad-
vance to at least ten cents.

Men generally cross their legs when
there is least pressure on their minds.
You will not very often find a man ac-
tually engaged in business with his
legs crossed. The limbs at those times
are straighter than at any other, be-
cause the mind and body work togeth.
er. A man engaged in auditing ac-
counts will seldom cross his legs; nei-
Their will man who is writing an arti.
Gle or who is employed in any manner
where his brain is actively engaged.
When at work in sitting posture,
the limbs naturally extend to the door
in perfectly straight line. A man
may cross his legs If he is sitting in an
office chair discussing some proposition
with another man, but the instant he
becomes really in earnest and perceives
something to be gained his limbs I'M
cross, he bends forward toward his
neighbor and begins to use his hands.

Tending the Light.

with nothing but waves to seward
And the grim rncks toward the land,
The roll OF the black clouds over,
And the breakers on every hand.
The night comes down on the ocean,
And we climb the winding stair
To see that our lights are piercing
The thick'ning, foggy air.
Far up the mouth OF the river,
Beyond the narrow beach,
The last Of the home lights twinkle
And sink away from our reach;
Alone on a rock In the desert
OF tumbling and tossing tide.
The nations outer signal
To wanderers far and wide.
Alone. and we wonder dimly
II the fog horn reaches the shore
Or pierces the outer stretches
That tumble and toss eyermore.
Perchance In the little village
Some flsherwife wakes in the night
And peers from her smoky window
To see il we're shining bright.
Or out on the tossing pillows
A helmsman watches our light,
A thousands souls In HE keeping
AS they rush through the painless night.
Alone on rock in the desert
And hungry for those on shore,
The screams of the gulls and breakers
Around us for evermore.

LINCOLN'S PROPHECY.

We are justly proud of our politi-
cal revolution of 1916. 1t has CIV
en- us degree of political freedom
far exceeding that of any other nat
ions of the earth. In it the wcrld
has found a solution of the long
mooted problem as TO the capabil-
ity of man to govern himself. Init
was the germ which has vegitated,
and still is to grow and expand into
the universal liberty of mankind.
But with all these glorious results,
past, present and to come, 1t had its
evils, too. 1t breathed forth fam
inc, swan in blood, and rode in fire;
and long, long after, the orphans
cry and widows wall continued to
break the sad silence that ensued.
These were the price, the inevitable
price, paid for the blessings it
bought.
Turn now to the temperance rev.

A RIP

The new gas well just brought in
by Mr.. Knapp on the Ditmars land,
is hun.
1t is much the strongest we'll in
the field. Ifanyone had any doubts
about our supply of gas before, they
can rest easy now. The we'll flows
4, ooo,o 900 feet per day, good and
strong.
Mr.. Knapp estimates the thick
ness of the sand at 4oft. 1t was
penetrated about I2ft. The oil sand
was struck at 726ft; small show OF
oil at 754ft.; drill passed through
oil sand at 76oft.; gas sand struck at
7SIft.
This is about 25ft. above the
point at which the sand has been
struck heretofore, hence it is reason
ed that the sand is thicker. By the
arrangements between Mr.. Knapp
and the city, this well has been turn
ed over to the city and is being
coupled up to the chain of city wells.
1t looks now like the kickers on
the arrangement between the city
and Mr.. Knapp might be satisfied.
The city had 4o-barrel oil well,
with ne earthly use for the oil and
no possible chance to dispose of it..
Mr.. Knapp had fine gas.well and
no use for the gas. The city takes
the gas well and Mr.. Knapp the oil
well. Each made a good trade.

more disease healed, more sorrow
assuaged. BY it no orphans starv-

never to have felt the change, and
will stand ready to join all others in
the universal song of gladness. And
what noble ally this to political
freedom! With such an aid, its
march cannot fail to on and on, till
every son of earth shall drink in
rich fruition the sorrow-quenching
draughts of perfect liberty! Happy
