The annual state fair began in
full blast on Wednesday last when
the people poured into Columbia,
the capital city, by the thous-
ands, and made the merriest,
jolliest, most good natured crowd
lever seen within the gates of the
great festival and fun-making
occasion of the proud Palmetto
State.
And Unions delegation was
right there, too, representing the
old town with a vim. 1t would
be only fair to say that no county
in the entire State had a larger
representation in proportion to
it's population.

was of decidedly unusual merit
and was a source of much COM

The Clemson corps made a
magnificent showing Three
Union boys wore the grey uni

The Use of Gasoline For Power Pur-
poses.

AT the beginning of the twentieth
century we find gasoline even in Its
infancy threatening to supersede coal
as a p:oducer Of motive power, light,
and heat. AS a competitor OF steam
1t has already supplanted its old and
well-tried rival In the smaller units,
especially In marine use, and we daily
note its adoption in new fields. I'm.
like many producers of rower which
have appeared in the past Two decades.
1t has universally proved a CONNER
cial success to whatever purpose
adapted. Although most people have
some iGea in a vague way of what
gasoline really is, few understand its
true composition. Without entering
into a detailed description of the pro
cess of producing 1t, we can perhaps
best explain to the layman that it is
a product OF crude oil. or petroleum,
obtained during the process OF distilla-
tion. n refining the crude petroleum
we extract different grades Of oils in
their turn. and In this process we
come 20 the lighter and more volatile
products known as gasoline, naphtha,
and benzine, the difference being but
a few degrees in their specific gravity.
In tie use Of gasoline for power
purposes W. have to employ mechan-
ical means TO control and covert its
energies; thus, we have the motor
known as the gas or gasoline engine.
The gasoline engine as now made is
an adoption Of the steam engine, en-
ploying the gas produced by gasoline
as a means Of energy. Contrary to
the general understanding, the gas or
gasoline engine Is but a high-pressure
calortc motor. The power in the gaso-
line motor. Is derived by igniting the
gas produced in the cylinder, which
In turn by It's heat expands, the atmos-
phere imparting energy TO the piston
by its expansion. A common error is
the suppos.tion that the explosion Of
the gas produces the power, the same
as a blow from a hammer. whereas it
is the aeat generated by the ignition
OF tn, compressed gases acting ex-
pansively.-From "The Age of Case

British J~ouruaiism Of Today.
To sum up, the publishing and new
paper business In Great Britain have
undergone a Transformation In the

Good Taste In Shoes.
: Little accessories are every whit as
important as the principals which
give them a background. A simple
gown of inexpensive material and
make, accompanied by correct neck
wear, footwear, girdle, hat and sun
shade, is far preferable to an extray-
agant one with which the details do
not correspond.
With the vogue for white and col.
ored shoes, stockings are OF no minor
consideration. There is no use In the
world in having pretty shoes II the
stockings above them is mediocre.

er. Shoes which match gowns in col
or are often a shade or two darker
than the material Of the gown, but
the stocking matches the gown as
nearly as possible.
Many white stockings have been
dyed this year to order. in order that
shades might match exactly. A con-
trast is always better than a mis-
match. and while a contrast in foot
wear is not desirable, a mismatch Is
impossible.
For outdoor evening wear black
patent leather shoes have the greatest
number of adherents. Stockings
worn with them and other evening
footwear are often as flmy as the
finest handkerchief and rich with lace
inserts and neediework.
