SENATOR APPELIrs STICK.
Commended for Course which he
suited In strenuous Attack.
GA. p. Aldrich, in The state.

4
From the amount OF howl" that
has been heard 1t does look like SEN
ator Appelt's stick has hit good
many, and the camp evidently has
been set afire. The advertisement
to the world which Saturdays edi-
tion Of The State makes of the virtue
in our legislative halls is not one to
make the breast Of the average
South Carolinian swell with pride.
The spectacle of one of our Senator's
using the columns Of his paper for
placing before the people the situa-
ton pleading for their support In
the fight for betterment In the moral
s status of our time, and the outburst
that comes from some of our law
makers, is heartrending. Has the
time come when each Of us must go
about like the sandwich man, with
label in front and one in the rear?
1s It possible that so many of those
to whom the people of South Caro-
lima have done honor, have allowed
themselves to become so entangled
/, by circumstances that look suspic-
iops that they must cry out for vim
ditRtion before they are called into
TIL court of the people to answer
Ea6rges? If such Is the case, then
{the hour of shame has come to our
Estate. She who has furnished the
&wor1d examples of brilliant states
Jsmen, men born in purity, reared In
moral recritude, schooled In cul-
tured gentility, must hide her face.
II is an acknowledged fact, ac-
cepted of all men, that no one is
expected to defend himself until he
Is attacked. In the meantime 1t Is
his duty to lend helping hand to
detect crime and bring to the ba, of
Justice those responsible for breac es
of the law. The same rule Will APP
ply to each and every situation in
life, public as well as private.
The commission appointed to wind
up the affairs of the dispensary is,
I take 1t, for the purpose of collect
ing the honest Cues to the State,
! paying the States honest debts and
to bring to justice those who have
despoiied the State in their trans
actions, The Legislature Is looked
to to uphold the hands of the At
torney General at every stage OF the.
proceedings. Can they stand by the
Attorney General and do their duty,
j by their clients, the liquor houses,
at the same timea Mo-. no one can
serve God and mammon, and the
man who Is to form his opinion by
what he reads in the daily papers
is very apt to make up his mind that
there is a great deal Of ,rottenness
in the place where the State has "a
right to expect a great deal of abii--
ity, Integrity and virtue. Has old
South Carolina to-day got all of the
last named virtues that she has a
right to have in her Legislative
halls? Only a few have answered
to the swipe Of the stick OF Claren
don's Senator, and 1t Is possible that
some have done so through Ill adj
vice or sympathy, of a kind Verify.

Women Who Weary wen.

IT is astonishing how great o change Q
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from q
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron Is only a dim shadow, faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate To
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form of its

WOOD ALCOHOL PREVENTS
FREEZING OF RADIATORS
Only Small Percentage Necessary to
Keep the Contents Fluid and
Prevent Breaks In
Piping

]. D. Maxwell, designer Of the eight different
Maxwell models now being made by the Max
we'll riscoe Motor company, gives timely
warning against the danger Of freezing radia-
tors OF automobiles. The most widely used
and most easily obtainable preparations are
calcium chloride. glycerine and wood alcohol.
the latter being the fevorite because It has no
effect either on the rubber connections or ON
the metal piping whereas calcium Is apt to
attack the metal, while glycerine In time dis
solves the rubber hose connecting the engine
with the radiator.
10 per cent solution OF alcohol will with
stand a temperature of Is degrees above zero.
rs per cent solution will Withstand tenn
perature of zero and 40 per cent solution
viii Withstand a temperature Of "A degrees
below zero.
AS a rule rs per cent solution win be found
sufficient for ali conditions. With cars en-
ploying thermo-syphon cooling filling of
the radiator with alcohol solution win last
practically all winter. Since alcohol evaporates
more rapidly than water any loss should be
replaced by equal parts Of alcohol and water.

and since the work is rapidly done the
cost of labor is not important.
The double blow-pipe, which is easily
manipulated, and may be guided, If
need be, by any kind of mechanical de-
vice, is avilable for cutting not only
thick plates, but also, and with equal
ease, tubes, beams, shafts and all va
rieties of rolled sections. The cutting
may be made to follow any lines and
execute all sorts of curves and pro-
files. Neither the quality nor the me-
chanical properties of the metal in any
way modifies the process. The steel
burns just as fast, whether 1t be hard
or soft, tempered or annealed, chrome
or Harveyized. The range of useful
ness of the oxyhydric process is very
extensive. The process is regularly en-
ployed in many machine shops, boiler
shops, rolling mills and is used In steel
boundaries for the removal of runners
and sink-heads on castings. 1t is also
employed for taking apart machinery
and steel buildings, by cutting off the
heads of the rivets, which are then
driven out.
The oxy-hydrogen nozzle of the ap-
paratus Is cooled by water, and other
heat so effectually absorbed that the
flame striking back is Immediately
cooled below the point of ignition, and
consequently extinguished.
In some important installations use is
made of a mixing blow-pipe provided
with a reservoir in which the gases are
mixed In advance.

FEW POINTS LOST BY
THE RAMBLER CAR
MudhoIes Were Cause of Two Slight
Accidents That Lost Six Points
from a Possible
Thousand

Immediately following the finish of the
great eight-day 1000-mile reliability run of
the Kansas City Automobile club. in which
the 1908 Rambler roadster finished with 994
points credit. announcement was made of
the formation of a big sales organization.
to be known as the Rambler Automobile
company of Kansas City, which will control
the sales of Rambler cars in Kansas and
adjoining states.
The performance of the Rambler In this
most difficult run. in which the car was
penalized but six points, three for the loss
OF a hub cap and three for turned spring
shackle, marked a fitting opening for the
business of the new company
Out of forty-one cars entered the Ramb-
Ter was one of two to complete seven OF the
eight days contest without penalty Then,
as the cars ran in the order of their entry
and the Rambler was No. 81, the roads be-
came very bad and those near the rear were
compelled to pass others mired in the sink
holes.
In passing one of these holes the Rambler
took to the ditch, struck a rock and tore
of a hub cap. Again sink hole was
struck and a spring shackle turned.
Only twenty of the entrants finished. The
Rambler came through without a single
puncture and on its original outer and inner
tubes.
The new Rambler company is composed
of men who have been identified with the
vehicle and farm implement trade in the
southwest for many years, and a large
number of implement dealers have already
contracted to sell a portion of the output.

ENDURANCE RUN
RESULTS in TIE
THREE CARS HAVE PERFECT
SCORES aFTER RUN
Test Becomes Harder Strain on the
Drivers Than on the Cars and
Contest Is Called
Off
GJEsa

Unable to pick a winner after re-
peated attempts the entrants and the
touring committee of the Bay State
A. A. decided to call off the run and
award certificates to the Studebaker,
Franklin and Shawmut cars.
These three cars survived the Cruel
ing test day after day and night after
night without penalty and were APP
parently in a fine shape when they
finished the last try to eliminate them
as when they began their task a week
ago.
Some plan will be evolved whereby
each of the three entrants will receive
a trophy of equal value instead of one
worth 5000, which was to be given the
winner.
When the cars checked in at the
finish of the last trip to Portland and
return the machines had covered 1907
miles. Some idea of the siren uosity
of the test may be CLEANED when 1t is
compared with the Glidden tour. In
that event the cars covered but little
more in two weeks than did these three
cars In one week. What is more, the
Bay Staters were run night and day
regardless of weather conditions and
the rules were harder. for nothing
could be done to car even in the way
of Tightening a bolt.
the run-off there was such a thick fog
along the roads that railroads and
street cars were tied up or delayed,
but the motorists pushed on up
through to the mountains.
Originally twenty-one cars started,
but all but nine went down on the
first trial. Seven OF these started on
the first run-off and three were elimi-
mated. The third run cut out another,
leaving the battle then to the Stude-
baker, Franklin and Shawmut. This
trio spent three more days trying to
beat each other out, but without sue
cess, and they probably would be go
ing yet but for the fact that the COM
mittee was stumped to find runs which
would put the cars down and out.
1t was becoming a p ysical endur-
ance run for the men as much az
test of cars, too. and this had to be
considered. When 1t was decided to
call the run off every one seemed to
feel relieved and so the endurance test,
originally scheduled to go but twenty
four hours and cover about $50 miles,
will go down in motor history as one
of the best ever conducted to prove the
motor cars of today can be considered
perfected machines,
