Agassiz, wishing % study the

occasion to he lowered into a ere

for some hours at midday at a
point hundreds of feet below the
surface of the ice. After graft
flying his enthusiastic curiosity he
gave the signal to lie drawn up.

he said, "In our baste we had
forgotten the weight of the rope.
We had calculated the weight of
my person, of the basket in which

was around the basket, but we
had forgotten the weight of the

When habit lowers a man into

it is common, but it is not scien>

of not forgetting it is one of the

Mr.. Hayward comes to tt

Mr.. Hayward comes to the
governorship not only without a
suspicion of factionalism IN his
candidacy or nomination but
wholly free from sectionalism.
Look at his vote. His home
county, Colleton, a coast county,
gives HIM the magnificent en-
dorsement of 2,192 votes to 5S
for his competitor. Then Oconee,
away up in the mountains, in the
extreme northwest of the State as
Celleton is in the extreme south
west, gives the Colleton man g.
O34 to $50 for the other candidate
and Marlboro IN the extreme
northeast gives him 923 to 479,
almost two to one. One of the
mountain boxes in Greenville,
SaIuda, gave the low country can
didate a solid vote--Heyward 60,
Talbert 0. If ever a governor
went into Office enabled to be the
governor of the whole people,
knowing no faction and no section,
ID. Clinch Hayward Is prepared to
be such a governor--and the
whole State believes he will tul
fill that expectation. The State.

and Beaufort sHelled the crowd of
Colleton citizens ard great Ell,
thusiasm was manifested. AS 1t
was the first time the governor,
elect has made any public ex-
preston since his nomination, a
synopsis of his address is given.
He declared that the endorse
ment given him by the people
was refutatirn of the SANDER
Gus charges made against him in
the second primary, and this en-
dorsement will be the most pre-
cious heritage to his children.
Continuing, be said:
81 am SO pleased that the pre-
judice between town and country
is passing away. The state can
never be the state which it was
destined to he until the people of
the cities and the people of the
country work together IN the up
lifting of their state. Then and
not until then will South Carolina
prosper industrially. Then will
we see the mechanics and laborers,
the manufacturers and merchants
realize the great benefits of
united purpose and common eff
fort. If l can aid the accomplish
msnt of this great end then my
election will not have failed In
tho purpose which l have destin
ed for it,
He then outlined his platform
as to public schools, higher edu
cation, pensions and other points
with which the public Is familiar
by reason of his campaign speech
es.
Among other things he said:
81 am mindful of the fact that
the governors duty Is not to
make laws; it is his duty to en-
force those laws which he finds
upon the statute books, and in
my efforts to discharge my duty
along this line l believe will
have the endorsement and sup
port of the people of South Car
olina. We are law,abidihg
people, and whether law is dis
tasteful or not we believe that the
law should be enforced until re-
pealed by those who made the
laws, our Legislative department,
and so l repeat, my friends, that
the laws which l find in operation
Will! have my strongest effort in
their proper enforcement.
81 believe in home rule. 1t is
9 principle which is dear to every
true South Carolinian and TO

THE GAME OF GAMES.
Golf, Says This Writer, Involves Arr,
Science and HIS piration.

GCsf, Says This Writer, Involves Ar.
Science and Inspiration.
1t is true that there is a point OF
view from which golf may be regarded
as an extremely simple game-the yer,
simplest of all the games with a bali
and club, says WilliamiG. Brown in
the June Atlantic. The players object
is simple and single to the point of
simple mindedness and singularity, one
might say-to put small ball in u
small hole with the feWest possible
strokes. But so are the objects Of the
highest ambitions, the guiding stars o.
Ecareers the most perpleXed and dew
ous. 1t is true, likewise, that all tht
countless strokes golfer makes arr
Iresslvable into three kinds of stroke
driving, approaching and putting. BIZ
Mr.. Everard, in a lecture unsurpassed
for truth and brilliancy by any in all
the extremely clever literature of gol'
has declared that to make those thr,
strokes Alright one must have ''art. Sc
ence and inspiration"
From the moment the ball leaves tii>-

tion of victory and conSummatioH
there is no foreseeing what perpleX;t.
confidence it will present.
Not twice off the tee ground and the
putting green will the possibilities and
probabilities of the stroke be quite the
tSame. In the lie, the wind, the dis
itance to be traversed. the obstacles to

tbe reckoned by any known mathemat
les.
Then, as the match approaches its
tdreadfully quiet climax of defeat or
ETictory, the responsibility may grow
positively appalling. The very delhi

games, is SO characteristic of this, SO
far from lessening the strain on ones
nerves, undoubtedly heightens it. One
has time to estimate the emergency. ia
realize the crisis.
Not the fiercest rally at tennis. not
the longest and timeliest home run at
baseball, not the most heroic rush at
football. requires a more rigid corfcen-
fration of thought and energy or a
more dauntless courage than the flick
of putter that sends the ball crawl
ing on it's last little journey across the
putting green when The put is for the
hole and the hole m"ans the match.

Electric lamps not only can be made
to talk, but also to sing. An ordinary
arc light can be made to produce
sounds in two ways. One is by placing
the arc in the circuit Of a telephone

the other is by placing it in the circuit
instead of the ordinary transmitter.
In either of these positions it will

AUTO POLO" LATEST FAD.
Boston Sportsman CIeverIy Showed
Its Varied Possibilities.


Automobile polo is the latest add,
ton to the realm of sport, and Mr..
Joshua Crane, Jr. of the Dedham Polo
club has demonstrates that "auto
polo" is possibility, says a Boston
dispatch to the New York Herald.
The automobile variety of polo is not
likely, however, to become very pOpu-
lar, as an unlimited number of ma
chimes would be required if there was
any riding off" attempted.
Mr.. Crane owns a big touring ma
chine, which runs under his manage
well trained pony. At Karlstein the
other afternoon he gave an exhibition
of his skill in running the machine
with one hand and making pretty
series of strokes with a polo mallet
knocking the ball the length of the
field as cleverly as he could from Il
polo pony. At the end of his run Mr.
Crane raped a backhander and then
in a fifty made a dazzling turn at
speed with his automobile and was or
the ball again for a run to the other
end of the field.
Mr.. Crane also successfully tried
some fancy shots between the wheels
of his machine and altogether gave =
very remarkable performance. There
was one drawback, however, regarding
the strokes which may be used by
chauffeur. On touring machine it is
impossible to make near side strokes
but this might be accomplished on II
runabout. ...
OF course it takes considerable skill
to hit ball from the drivers seat on
an automobile, as the player must
reach out over the wheel and at the
same time maintain control of the ma
chine, but Mr.. Crane has the trick
down to perfection and never missed
a stroke on runs the length of the bed
ham polo field.
