WHY Japan Wins.

Some Of the reasons why Japan has
been so successful in the present war
are set forth in an interesting article
by Lieut.. J. A. Baer, L. S. A., in the
current Harper's Weekly. Lieut.. Baer
was with the United forces during the
China relief expedition in 1900, and
had an excellent opportunity to OBJ
serve the personnel Of the japanese
army under Gen. Terauchi, who is
now the war minister. At that time,
Lieut.. Baer says, the japanese had
perfect military maps of every prov
ince of Manchuria; they were always
ready to take the initiative; and they
displayed almost fanatical bravery at
every opportunity. The japanese Of
ficers spent all their spare time visit
ing the camps of the other allies and
studying their drill, equipment. and
organization. Mr.. Baer shows how
at that time the japanese were quiet
lv engaged in perfecting their organi
zauon and preparing for war.-Harp-
er's Weekly.

was ascertained that it was impossi-
Bile to get a business man in Sumter
overthe long distance phone because
the Sumter office was closed for din

and was doing a rushing business as

was nothing working until the operat-

| MFR. Editor:

ar. EQItoT:
Please give publicity to the follow
ing reply to an article published by
the 0rangeburg News on June 18th:
"In justice to the operator Of the
long distance phone here, wish to
say shat ht gets no pay for his ser
vices as pera:or. except small mes
serg ger Zee en- on calls."
Several years ago when those IN
authority of the long distance phone
failed in their efforts with the City
Council to get an Office in Sumter,
they by accident met N1r. Wither-
spoon who told them they might put
a phone in his Office. and he would
attend to it during business hours only
that is rom TO u and from tc
o'clock, and that was the agreement
under which the phone was put in,
but. when a person makes an engage
ment. if it is a reasonable hour, he is
always accommodated and in great
many cases at very unreasonable
hours.
1t seems to the writer that if the
gentleman from Orangeburg had
shown good business judgment, when
there was so much involved, he would
have made an engagement in advance
to talk with his party. and not left it
to chance, and then il would not have
been necessary to wait for the operat
or to come from dinner.

gin last night to take steps to secure
+be location of the Presbyterian Col
1aea of South Carolina in Sumter, as
1T has been decided to remove SAID
college from Clinton, S. c. Secretary
Reardon called the meeting to
.arser and read tie call for the meet
-ine and stated that President John
NJ Knight was sick and had sent
reouest that Rev. II. II. Covington
preside over the meeting. Mr.. Gov
inrton was unanimously elected
chairman. He stated the object of
4he meeting in a few we'll chosen re-
marks endorsing the proposition TO
try and locate the Presbyterian Col
leee in Sumter, and requested City
Snnerintendent Of Education S. Il.
Edmunds to address the meeting, as
he was familiar with the reasons for
the removal of the college from Gin
ton, S. G.
Superintendent Edmunds said that
he had been informed by one OF the
trustees of the college that the trus-
> tees OF the college had for good ana
sumcient reasons decided to locate
the college elsewhere than Clinton
and that this trustee was very favor
ably Impressed with Sumter as a suit

that the trustees undoubtedly were

Ter wanted the college her cnances
we're as good as any other place, and
better if the proper showing
was made. He was not prepareu u

,,r any other place, but he knew the
great benefit to be derived by the 10
cation of such a high grade institu-
zion of learning in Sumter and was
positive that Sumter could and would
support the college as well as any
ether place in South Carolina.
CHAIRMAN covington then threw
the meeting open for full and free
discussion.
Colonel Richard D. Lee made an
eloquent and strong appeal in favor

sxhorities to establish that institution
in Sumter. He said, in part, that
& while the college was under the aus
pices and patronage Of the Presby-
terans Of this State, that the school
was non-sectarian in its management
S;and teachings, and gladly welcomed
students of all religious denomina-
