alleged abuses if they existed as de-

scribed. His report substantiated the
authors picture, and the story was
then given to the world.

month. Paine was chiefly known at
the time of the Revolution and for
some years afterward as a writer on
political subjects. 1t was not until lat
er years that the religious writings ap-
peared which earned him a reputation
as critic of the orthodox theology of
his time. He was never an atheist, but
his attacks on accepted beliefs alienat-
ed many of his earlier friends and OBJ
scured for years the fact that his serv-
ices to his country were Of great value.
Paine was born in Thetford, Nor
folk, England, in 1887. His father was
Quaker and staymaker, and Paine
was brought up to his fathers trade
and also to his beliefs, but he did not
adhere to either very long. He was a
Methodist preacher in London, a to-
bacconist at Lewes, Sussex, and an
exciseman before his departure from
his native land in 1774 He had made
the acquaintance of Benjamin Frank
lin during the latter's residence in
England as agent for the colonies, and
this statesman's influence found work
for his pen when he arrived in Amer
lea. The work that attracted nc
most attention at the time and that
upon which his character as patriot
is chiefly based was his pamphlet en-
titled Common Sense,' in which he
advocated absolute separation from the
mother country. 1t came out early
in 1776 and greatly influenced the
movement which resulted in the adop-
ton of the Declaration of Independ-
ence later in the year. Whether he
wrote that immortal document or not,
he furnished many arguments that

A HUMBLE HEROINE.
Mother Mary Teresa and the Cross OF
the Legion of Honor.


Some years ago in a city in France
ali the soldiers We're drawn up on the
plaza. A woman in the habit of char
ity was called out in front of the gov
ernor general, and this is what he said
Mother Mary Teresa, when you
were twenty years of age you received
a wound from cannon ball while as
sisting one of the wounded on the
field at Balaklaya In 1859 the shell
from mitrailleuse laid you PROSTATE
in the front ranks on the battlefield of
Magenta. Since then you have been in
Syria, in China and in Mexico, and If
you We're not wounded it was not be-
cause you have not exposed yourself.
I'm 1870 you were taken up in Refs
choffen covered with many saber
wounds. Such deeds of heroism you
crowned few weeks ago with one of
the most heroic actions which history
records. A grenade fill upon the am
bulance which was under your charge
You took up the grenade in your arms;
you smiled upon the wounded who
looked at you with feelings of dismay;
you carried it distance of eighty me-
tiers. On laying it down you noticed
that it was going to burst. You threw
yourself on the ground; it burst. You
Were seen covered with blood, but
when persons came to your assistance
you rose up smiling, as is your won't
You We're scarcely recovered from your
wound when you returned to the hos

you
Then the general made her kneel
down and, drawing his sword, touched
her lightly with. it three times on the
shoulder and pinned the cross of the
Legion of Honor on her habit, saying:
II put upon you the cross of the
brave in the name of the French people
and army. No one has gained it by
more deeds of heroism nor by a life so
completely spent in self abnegation for
the benefit of your brothers and the
service of your country. Soldiers, pre-
sent arms!'
The troops saluted, the drums and
bugles rang out, the air was filled with
loud acclamations, and all was jubla-
ton and excitement as Mother Teresa
arose, her face suffused with bushes,
and asked:

were used in effecting its passage. AS
to the question of Paine's possible
authorship of the Declaration, the theo-
~ has been advanced that he wrote a
paper Of similar import and showed it
to Jefferson and Franklin, with whom
he was on intimate terms, that when
these two were appointed on the COM
mittee to draw up a declaration JEFF
ferson went to Paine to get his draft
and, using it as basis, wrote the doc
ument whose authorship is usually
credited to him.
On account of his authorship of
Common Sense the American Philo-
sophical society admitted him to mem
bership, the University of pennsylva-
mia conferred upon him the degree of
M. A, and the state legislature voted
him the sum Of $500 He served
short time in the army as aid to Gen
eral Nathaniel Greene, and in 1871
he was influential in obtaining loans
from France and Holland for the new
nation, and SO much were his services
in this and other ways appreciated that
congress voted him $4,000 and the
state of New York gave him the farm
at New Rochelle where he spent the
closing years of his life. The estate
was originally one of 300 acres. Paine
died at New Rochelle In 1909, and his
body was buried on his farm, but in
1919 it was taken to England by the
radical William Cobbett with the hope
OF arousing enthusiasm for the repub-
lican ideas OF which Paine was the ex-
emplar. The monument for which
Paine provided in his will still stands
near his first grave The occupant of
the old farmhouse for the past forty
years has been Wesley See.
The stormiest period of the life Of
this writer and sage was that portion
passed in France in the closing wears
Of the eighteenth century. He was
received as a hero by the revolution
lists and made member of the national
assembly, but his republicanism was
not radical enough to please the ia
collins. He voted against the behead-
Ing of Louis and was thrown into pris-
on by Robespierre. He was released
through the efforts of James Monroe

"HE Beveridge bill has leaped
into prominence with a sud

so completely has it absorbed
public attention for the time being that

Beveridge meat inspection bill repre-

health in respect to one of the greatest

dressing and packing of the meat for
shipment far and wide over the coun-
try and over the inhabited parts of the
whole globe Incidentally the bill rep
resents also movement to throw

pursued in the operation Of the in

senior senator from Indiana, Albert J.
Beveridge, who Is one of the senate
leaders and an orator known for both
the force Of his rhetoric and the sharp
ness of his wit Senator Beveridge is
an author also, and his book about the
Russian empire, which appeared about
the time that war between japan and
Russia broke out, has been widely
read.
Mr.. Beveridge is one of the younger
set among the Washington statesmen,
as he will not be forty-four years of
age until autumn, and, though he has
enjoyed a university education, he has
seen life from the point of view of
what President Roosevelt calls ''the
man with the patch on his breeches,"
for he was plowboy and railroad la
borer, logger and teamster in early
days. The meat inspection bill was
passed in the senate with remarkable
celebrity as a rider of the agricultural
bill, and it has been said that the bill
was hastily slang together tagged with
Mr. Beveridge's name and put through
when Mr. Roosevelt had the Neill-
Reynolds meat trust report in his
hands to use as club to compel such
legislation if necessary. On the con-

CHARTERED CLYDE LINE
STEAMER.
Arrangements Cmpleted For Trans
porting .'Clansnlan" Company and
Production to Charleston, S. C.

Special trains are often used by
large theatrical companies when the
regular railroad service does not suf-
fee. It has remained, however, for
the management of "The Clansman''
Company to inaugurate the novelty OF
chartering big coast-wise steamship
for the first movement" of the COM
ing Southern tour. Arrangements
have been completed by George H..
Brennan by which the production,
electrical effects, horses and the com
pany of nsarly a hundred people will
be transported from New York to
Charleston, S. c.. by special Clyde
Line steamer. TIE steamer will carry
no other passengers and will make ex-
press time between the two cities,
being one of the fastest in the Clyde
Company's service. The cost of the
charter is extremely large and the
contract will prove the heaviest made
by the transportation company this
season. Having undisturbed occu-
pancy of the whole vessel, The
Clansman'' people will hold two daily
rehearsals throughout the voyage on
the main deck when the weather is
fair and in the grand cabin on stormy
days. These rehearsals at sea are
being eagerly looked forward to as
a novel experience by the players.
The opening performance in Charles
ton will be given Sept. l9.

No Phonetics For Harvard.

Harvard will not stand for the Car
negie- Roosevelt innovation, according
to President Eliot. Mr.. Eliot says the
new style of spelling does not in the
least appeal to him.
81 suppose that President Roosevelt
has a right to write his messages in
any style of orthography to which be
may incline" he remarked, but
think it will be a long time before
such style as that proposed becomes
very popular or takes great hold
upon the public.
81 do not myself care for it, and it
is my opinion that the same view is
held by the msjority of leading educa-
tors. There are some distinguished
men, such as President Butler, of Co.
lumbia, who have long favored it, but
I do not see that their work has
brought much accomplishment.
"The English will hardly adopt this
new system,'' he said. 1t would mean
not only that the publishers would be
obliged to make two sets of plates,
but that all Of the present plates OF
standard and popular works would be
rendered incorrect and that the public
would not like the looks of thru and
tho and words similarly spelled. y

Every newspaper man ia South Car
olsna Will hear with personal sorrow
Of the death in Ashevllle Tuesday Of
John" Knight, the editor Of the
Sumter Herald. Although bis health
was then critical Mr. Knight, long.
ing Tor the comradeshio of his fellow
wo7kmen, came to the Press Assncla-
ticn meeting at the Isle of Palms IN
July. He vas too Ill to enter fully
into the spirit of thar delightful
event, but we are sure that it was at
least a taste of joy in his last days
that ne wes permitted to piingle with
his old friends, as it was to them a
pleasure that they we're permitted TO
grasp his hand again.
John Knight conducted one of the
best weekly newspapers in all South
Carolina. 1t was model of typo
graphical cleanness Its press work
was uniformly admirable, and it's
reading matter and advertisements
had the same characteristics. His
pride in his work was keen and his de-
light was to make newspaper thor
oughly and to make It we'll. He was
one Of those in the ranks who could
always welcome the inspection officer,
and so be is loss to his people in
Sumter and to the newspaper makers
of South Carolina. He was a distin-
guished member of the Pythian Order,
having served as Grand Chancellor,
and he occupied conspicuous positions
in his county, having for years been
chairman of the Sumter County Dem
ocracy. He doubtless could have been
elected to public Office, bat did not
covet it. He was a newspaper man
and be loved to do his duty in the
ranks.-News and Courier.
