Two Cents for a "Shine.'

The small bootblack exists because
of the love of the average child to be
active and to earn a little money. In
the slums, where the children have
nothing to play with except stone
steps, iron ratings and filth, it is
very interesting and fairly profitable
to play with a dirty pair of shoes. So
the small boy shines and CANDLES and
learns all that the street has to teach.
Organized hand work and play in
the schools Of our great cities, aslight
lengthening Of the period Of daily and
annual school attendance, and the
children might develop the normal
play instinct without recourse to
street life. This is the program of
the national child labor committee.
The earnings of the small boot
black are very low. Ifhe shines for
three cents when he can get it, and
two cents when he cannot get three,
he may make eighteen cents on a Sat-
urday.
This is one of the many forms of
child labor in America against which
the national child labor committee
contends. With the cooperation
which the American people ought to
give to such an enterprise we believe
this committee is leading in a cam
paign which will secure to every
American boy and girl the education
and physical growth which are so es-
sential to American citizenship

Thursday, August Is, 1907

The editor of the Charleston Even
ing Post feels somewhat aggrieved
over the silence of the South Carroll
ma press in reference to his senatori-
al candidate. He argues well that
even if the proposition is not all that
might be desired, some consideration
is due because Of his sponsorship.
When even New York and other
Eastern territory is solid almost to a
man for the Charleston candidate, it
does seem ungrateful that South
Carolina editors should be so silent
over matter which promises so
much. The Herald will offend no
longer. We hereby take our seat in
the band wagon. Let the band play
that classic selection, "She's the only
girl love"

spection officials with embezzlement
and making false returns to the aud
itor at Washington. Jones is at Port

fused to give. Since this time Jones

Escaped HaZing.

John P. Sullivan, of New Orleans,
grand esquire of the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, is one of
the few men who as a student at
West Point was never successfully
hazed.
Col Sullivan-by virtue of the Span
ish war, as he did not remain in the
army after leaving the military acad-
emy-stands six feet, two inches in
his stocking feet and is built in pro-
portion. The story goes that when a
mob of his fellow West Pointers at
tempted to practice on him the usual
diabolical arts reserved for new ar
rivals in the old days, the young man
from Louisiana submitted a counter
proposal. 'I'm willing to be hazed.
all right, if you fellows are equal to
the job" he said, "but I must insist
on your coming one at a time" That
looked easy, but was not. The hazers
came on one at a time, and rumor has
it that Sullivan whipped seventeen of
them to a standstill before making
them see the futility of further at
tacks, After that he was not molest-
ed.
West Point annals contain a record
of at least one other man who was not
hazed. He is Capt. Beaumont B.
Buck of the 18th infantry. His meth
ods were not the same as Sullivan's
however. He warned the hazers not
to attempt to enter his room, and
when they tried to rush him he fired
on them with results by no means
pleasant to one young man. This was
while he was still a student at a pre-
paratory school near West Point

Columbia, S. c., August 2, 1907.
Mr.. J. F. Carter, Bamberg, S. c..
Dear Sir:-Your letter to the Attor-
ney General, asking whether it is nec-
essary for voter to present his regis
tration certificate and tax receipt at the
ballot box when he offers to vote, has.
been received. In the case Of Wright
against the State Board of Canvassers,
the Supreme Court decided that the
manager should require the production
of both registration certificate and tax
receipt. It is proof Of the payment Of
taxes that is required. The tax receipt
is the best evidence, but if that cannot
be produced certificate of the treasur-.
er, or best proof of which the fact is
susceptible at the time, will be sufficient.
I enclose you the findings of the State
Board of Canvassers in the case of the
Kershaw election which was decided
yesterday. If you desire any further
write US and we will glad
ly serve you in any way we can.

Death by Drowning.

Drowning Is quicker death than
most people suppose. .nsensibility Is
said to begin about one minute and
fatal unconsciousness generally super
vencs in the neighborhood OF two.
Even practical divers cannot remain
under water more than q minute and
Il half, and 1t is almost fatal to re-
main beneath the surface longer than
that.
At Navarino. where there are many
expert divers who plunge into the sea
after sponges. rot one was found who
would remain under water for two
minutes. In the Red Sea the Arab
divers generally remain aown one and
a quarter minutes, while ut Ceylon
the pearl fishers can seldom stay below
for even one minute there IS case
on record at Falmouth, England where
a diver had descended slightly feet and
on giving the signal was drawn up
slowly, so 1t was two minutes before
ll,e reached the surface. Blood ran from
his cars and nose. ant ne was In
sensible He died without speaking.
Insensibility. however does not al
ways involve death. for in many cases
Il person may be resuscltated by the
use of energetic measures. The bring
ing to OF people who have been under
water for five consecutive minutes,
however. is consde. doubtful ny
physicians. There have been extra
ordinary cases related, nevertheless.
where persons have been submerged
for fifteen or twenty minutes. but It
is probable that they have come to me
surface again and again during tEat
stime.-B'ackwood's
