Inquiry Should Be Made.

Tt is strongly intimated that a
Federal investigation. probably by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, viii be made of the Seaboard
Air Line Feceivership, and of the
operations and finances of the road
previous to the receivership. It
seems that there is every reason
why such an inquiry should be
made. In the first place the most
casual study Of the reports of this
road will, we believe, lead TO the
conviction that there was no good
reason why it should at this
time have been brought a petit
toner to the doors of the Federal
court. asking protection against its
creditors. In the second place, the
receivership has been so grossly
misinterpreted by people seeking
occasions for criticism of recent leg
islative and administrative efforts
TO control railways, that nothing
less than thoroughly airing the
whole history of the Seaboard is
likely 70 make the real situation
plain.
The Seaboard Air Line has been
through an experience with the
Ryan style Of financing. The Inter
borough-Metropolitan, of New York,
recently came out of an inquiry
which greatly enlightened that sort
of operations. There is substantial
reason for the belief that an inves-
tigation of Seaboard financial or
ganization and management would
result hardly less sensationaIly than
did the Interstate Commissions in
quiry into the Atoms manipulation

Don't Blame the Weather.

Grumbling and growing on ac-
count of the weather now is the
rule, not because it is pleasant; not
because the sun is shining, and the
air is fine and bracingi not because
the whole world seems to invite one
to go outdoors and stay outdoors;
not because in spite of ourselves we
feel exhilarated, uplifted, and in
spired, but because these glowing
days, now like spring, now like
early autumn. are unreasonable"
Pray, what is unreasonable wealth
err? If we have had rain and snow,
and snow and sleet, and hail, and
fierce Winds and zero temperature
at this season of the year hereto
fore, does that make that sort of
weather any more seasonabIe than
the present style? Perhaps this is
the genuine seasonable weather,
and the other a base usurper. who
is now being driven back 10 the
polar regions, where he really be-
longs.
But whether the weather is sea
sOnable has nothing to do with our
health, which is, after all, the un-
DERIVING reason for our protest
against unreasonable weather. Tn
seasonable weather, to our minds,
always means unhealthful weather.
But no weather is healthful or un-
healthful, any more than the earth
is healthful or the stars unhealth-
full, or the Milky Way a breeder of
disease. We can be healthy in any
kind Of weather if we take care OF
ourselves, if we are prudent, if we
seek the knowledge that win be to
the advantage of our health and
then make use of it. We may not
be able TO dodge all the germs by
this method, but we win avoid many
of them, and those that do land on
us-well, we ought not to blame the
weather for them.

CUT DOWN PRODUCTIONS,
PLAN OF COTTON MILLS

members curtan production . per cent
to avoid the accumulation Of goods dur
ing the next three months. is the sub
stance Of q resolution unanimously
passed last night by the Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association Of South Caro-
lima, meeting here in annual session
The occasion for this resolution Is
that quotations on print cloths show
no profit for the mills at the present
'price Of cotton, and on the heavier
goods there is 2 decided loss. The con-
ditions Of the cotton mills in the State
vary; some have sold ahead and others
have not. Comparatively Few goods
have been accumulated as yet. There
Is an entire absence Of orders and no
demand for cloth or yarns. Quotations
are lower than they have been for two
years, and many mills having contracts
ahead are having difficulty in getting
the goods ordered out
The annual convention Of the assOCia-
ton closed last night with j banquet
at the Colonial Hotel Practically all
the cotton mills Of the State were rep
resented. All the officers were re-
elected. Ellison A. Smythe, OF Green
vile, is the president.

CHEAPER RADrUM.

A Vienna cable says Three grams
(about foTty-six grains) Of radium were
made in the university laboratory here
a couple Of days ago. This is the gre at
est quantity yet produced. and to OBJ
tain it ten tons of uranium pitchblende
had to be employed. The material was
given by the Austrian government to
the Academy Of Science. 1t was procured
from the government mines at JOach-
initial, Bohemia, which UP TO the pres
ent, are the only known source Of this
costly mineral. and was brought to
Vienna. The process Of obtaining the
radium cost $4,000. Important expert
nents win now be begun at re Vienna
laboratory TO ascertain whether the
theory Of Sir William Ramsay that ra-
dunn and radium emanation can be
converted into other elements. especial
ly into helium and hthium, be correct
or not. The Vienna Academy OF Science

connection with radium discoveries, viii

Denis Joseph Stafford.

He was a man, take him for all in all,
p, shall not look upon mis- like again.
These words from Hamlet" to
which Father Stafford devoted much
study TO 2 ,od effect and great bene-
lit TO all who heard his analysis of
that play and IT'S characters, win be
held by many TO be a most apt de-
scription of the priest who has just
been called from his manifold and
important Iabors.
In the death of DR.. Stafford the
whole world has suffered a loss, for
who can set the bounds of a good
mans influence? It is an ever
widened ripple passing over the sea
of life. He was a strong force in
behalf of good citizenship; he was
a leader in religion; he was a cap
tain of morality; he was not only a
student, but an inspirer of students,
and therefore the best of educators;
he was a churchman of churchmen,
vet a worker in the world. To the
sinner be was forgiveness, TO the
repentant, he was mercy. His hand
ever open to the poor, and his heart
to the sorrowful. Those who knew
him best praise him the most, and
with Hamlet say:
See, what a grace was seated in this
brow,

An eye ike Mars, TO threaten and com
