nothing fantastic or grotesoue about
il. for under Louis XIV all the queer
and the grotesque we're eliminated and
only the beautiful that was really
beautiful was left.
In those days famous men were born,
and. what is more TO the point, their
great work was recognized under the
liberal French policy and the decora-
tive art was doomed TO such an eX-
tent that il has lasted through all the
intervening years and is just as strong
to-day as il was then.
Everything was elaborate, exquisite
ly dainty and costly, for the history
Of Louis XIV was history Of luxury.

Somebody Blundered Again.

Basing their expectations upon an in
creased income of about 100000 from
the corporation franchise tax, the legisla-
ture increased the appropriations about
s45,OoO over last year. Now the treasurer
has deficit of s41 900 which, added to
the extra $45,0O0, will make deficit for
the year of somewhere near $4,000. That
would have been Offset, with something
to spare, with the expected 100000. But
it looks as if the franchise tax cannot be
collected this year. Comptroller General
Jones seems to take that view of it and
has submitted the question to Attorney
General Gunter for his opinion. The leg
islature ought certainly to have seen that
the act would become operative this year
or else kept the appropriations within
the income.-Newberry Observer.

Little Harold. aged 6, is the son of one
of the editors of a certain Philadelphia
newspaper. Harold's father has pen
chant for railroad passes, and in this re-
spect the laws of heredity seem to have
asserted themselves. The other day Har-
old was very naughty, and his mother
demonstrated with him.
IF you are bad you won't 60 to heaven"
said his mother.
'Isn't there railroad there:" asked
Harold.
"Well, suppose there is railroad" re-
piled his mother, adapting herself to his
whim. "How would you get there? You
haven't enough money to buy a ticket"
Quick as flash, Harold exclaimed:
Huh! That wouldn't make any differ
ence to me. Father could getme a pass!'

PARTY REORGANIZATION.

cry Must be Overhauled.
The State democratic executive COM
mittee met two years ago on the 3rd OF
April for the purpose of calling for re-
organization of the party. State Chairman
Willie Jones has not yet issued his call
for the meeting of the executive commit
tee this year.
The constitution Of the party provides
that on the fourth Saturday in April, or
during the week in which the fourth Sat-
urday occurs, all the democratic clubs
shall meet and elect delegates to tht
county convention and nominate ont
member of the county executive commit
tce
Then on the first Monday in May the
county democratic conventions meet to
elect county chairman, county execu-
tive committee, delegates to, the State
convention, and to nominate members of
the State executive committee. The
county convention always chooses the
county executive committee as recon-
mended by the various clubs, and in turn
the State convention always elects the
State executive committee as nominated
by the various county conventions.

Beats AIMS Age.

In trip across the Pacific from Ameri-
ca to China one loses day on the 1S0
degree line. One goes to bed, say on
Sunday evening and rises on Tuesday
morning. An annoying puzzle that is
put to steamship passengers in that longi-
tude is the following: Suppose man in
some wonderful airship went around the
world once every day for one year. 1t
follows that S65 days would be lost. But
if he started on Jan. l, 1908, what date
would it be to him at the end of his 365
trips?
