OBJECT TO NEW SCHEDULE.
Orangeburg Not Satisfied With Pro-
posed Change of Schedule.

The following is what the Orange
burg correspond of The State says
about the PROPOSED change of sched-
ule on trains between here and Preg-
nails:
The business interests of this city
are much aroused over the change
of schedules contemplated on the
Atlantic Coast Line. railway. 1t is
reported that on November /, the
afternoon train leaving here at 3:45
for Creston, Elloree, Parlers, Holly
Hill and Pregnals will be discontin-
.ued. - a train will leave here at s
a. m. for the points named, and will
return from Pregnals at once, but
will stop at Creston and not come
on back to Orangeburg. In the af-
ternoon the same train will go from
Creston back to Pregnals and then
return at once from Pregnals and
return all the way back to Orange
burg.
In dispatch to The State few
days ago it was stated that this
contemplated change would be re-
.ceived here with gladness, as all
connections would be made both on
the Atlantic Coast Line at Creston
and the Southern at Pregnals for
the people inhabiting the country
along this line to reach Orangeburg
and return the same day. But after
looking into the schedule as contem-
plated and the present schedule of
the trains to be connected with, it
is improbable that they will be made
and the new run to be inaugurated
will be of no benefit to Orangeburg,
but on the other hand will hurt the
business interests here.
What the people here want is for
the train in the middle of the day
TO come back here from Pregnals,
instead of stopping at Creston,
station about 16 miles from here,
and then at ABOUT q fU p. III. W ludhe
another trip to Pregnals and get back
mere at 10 p. m.
Such an arrangement would give
excellent service to the entire branch
that it serves and would be treat
ing Orangeburg fairly in this, an
important matter. This schedule can
be perfected easily and will still gives
this train shorter mileage than the
other "shoo fly" train that leaves
here every morning for Florence and
way stations.
The local chamber of commerce
is actively at work on both the rail-
road officials and the railroad COM
mission to either retain the afternoon
train as at present, or else give the
schedule as outlined above.

ton will be held here to elect a
mayor and six aldermen to serve

EQUAL PAY IN FRANCE.
French Women Teachers Object to
Lower Salaries Than Men Get.

The first university women's con-
gress Of France was held recently at
Nancy The most important ques-
ton discussed was that of equality
Of salaries for teachers of both sexes
in primary schools.
The women teachers demand that
their pay shall be equal to that OF
the men. At present tho difference
for the same class Of work is large.
For instance, in Paris a woman of
the third class receives s440 a year,
while a man Of the same rank gets
$40.
The women school teachers argue
that they take the same diplomas as
the mon, do the same work, prepare
pupils for the same examinations,
are expected to produce as good re-
suits, have the same time table and
work as long except where they work
longer. They maintain that mon
have not any more legitimate needs
than women and that the charges
laid on tho man are not heavier than
those Of the woman even whom she
Is not married, as she invariably has
relatives to support.
This campaign for equal treatment
is not new, for in 1886 a law was in
troduced providing for oq-a.
budget considerations prevented its
passing, as it has been computed thai
the change would moan an increase
in expenditures Of S1,20o,000 a year.
Since thon the women teachers havo
worked systematically to attain thor
object. Associations have been
formed in each department and these
have boon united in a general fed,

member Of Parliament to veto in fav.
or Of equal ray. Many Deputies havo
promised their assistance and doubt

selves in active support Of the move

Man Who Rouqhs 1t Best.

1t Is not really a paradox-it IS
almost a truism-that a man who
normally has most comfort can
rough it best when necessary. The
reason for this is probably that the
very violence OF the contrast when
the necessity does come is kind of
incentive; it reminds him that he Is
out" for some great service; that
great events are toward; that the
sword Of siegfried is being forged.
On the other hand, the man who
changes from comparative comfort
has no such sense of defiance or ex-
hilaration. He does not feel as
though he were specially put upon
his mettle, and he is less reconciled
to hardship for the curious, but ade-
quate, reason that the contrast is
~aaker.-London Spectator.

CURIOUS JAPANESE FISH.
Ono That Uses Fin as Sail-How the
Dorado Is CAUGHT,

ono mat uses Fin as Sail-HoW the
Dorado Is Caught.
One Of the most interesting OF fish
OF Japanese waters is the Oriental
sail fish (Histiophorus crientaiis)
The generic name given by DIR. Gun
thor, means the sail bearer and re-
, fers to tho huge dorsal fin possessed
by the species.
The fin stands higher than the
body above it and is used as a sail
before the wind. 1t is a large fish
ten feet in length and weighing 1Gt
pounds. They swim about usually
in pairs in rough and windy weather
with the huge fins above the water.
1t is favorite food fish and the
annual catch is nearly 100000
pounds. The sail fish is caught BY
means Of a harroon.
Another food fish known as dol
phin or dorado is sometimes caught
in a curious way. The fishes con-
gregate under a decoy bush and raft
made Of bamboos, and are then
caught by hooks baitei with squiis.
Or the decoy bush is surrounded by
a seine net and the dolphins are
driven by beating the surface Of the
water with sticks. This fish is eaten
both fresh and salt and is as great
favorite In wastern Japan as the sal
mon Is In the Northeast.

Oriental Greeti,oe

Some of the oriental modes of sal
utation are very peculiar. For in
stance, in central Thibet the custom
is for the saluter to stick cut his
tongue, hold his right ear. rub his
left hip, and bow deeply, all these
motions being carried on at once.
Certainly the other fellow need have
no fear of personal assault from the
subject of these curious antics, Less
ludicrous, but equally reassuring, is
the Chinese custom Of rubbing noses
on Bonded knees. The salaam or pro-
found bow of India and the Moham
medan countries serve a similar Dur.

According to System, they telegraph.

Of $4,000 He promptly notified the
Rothschilds of his achievement and
forwarded the bonus. The Rothschilds
returned tho amount intact with a
cold note that ran:
