it is probable that the Young Turks

spicuous military ability, and
whose giant intellect conceived the
stupendously valuable project Of
forcing naval officers to do 90 miles
horseback stunts, and pie-baking
and carpentry, and other things es-
pecially appertaining to naval eff
cheney, of course is absent from
home. But it was his particular
plan to spend millions Of public
funds on an absolutely worthless
piece of naval vainglory, and his
bosom should swell with pride to
y think how boldly the fleet sailed in
time of peace, and how safely en-
sconced it is in port at the critical
juncture. All Of which goes to
show what brilliant men are in
charge of the vast appropriations
squeezed from the public. If a
navy has any excuse for being at
all, it is to exercise police power,
where the lives of American citi-
zens are endangered through riot
and revolution in foreign lands.
A fleet of ships unable to stir from
port for a week or ten days after
things have happened is about as
valuable as so much junk. The
great world-war will never trans
pire, but the skirnish, here and

\ party interested in the King
stree tobacco warehouses has handed
us letter written him by friend
to the Kingstree market stating that
certain persons at Lake City are in
dustriously circulating the report
that there will be no buyers On the

Tobacco Go will not have a buyer
on Kingstree market.
If the parties circulating this re-
port honestly believe what they are
telling, they are simply mistaken,
and should at once seek to correct
the wrong impression they may have
created. If they really know better
and are seeking to injure TIE King
stree market, such methods will only
recoil upon themselves and hurt
their own market instead of building
it up at the expense of another.
The buyers ~iH be here. The I'M

Prof. Sheridan Goes to KdlterbOrO.

A dispatch from Walterboro to

Sheridan was elected principal CT
the Walterboro Graded school.
There were a number of appli-
cants for the position, but Prof
Sheridan secured the place. He
is one of the best known educa-
tors in the State and will doubt
less prove popular and success
full in his work there. Prof Sher-
idan has been at Lake City the
past year but will move his TAM
lily to WATERFORD in a few weeks.
The school bids fair to be in a
prosperous condition this year,
as an election has been ordered
for a high school for next year,
and also the town has been
bonded to erect a new school
building.

Lake City, June 29:-Mr

Mrs Della D Carter received
notice Monday that the Presl-

consent of the Senate, had ap-

Lake City for the term of four
years, beginning June 16, 1909.

is we'll known, she now lives at

Mr. J F Eppes, whose home
is at Due West, spent two days
last week with friends in town.
He graduated in the law course
of the University of Sorth Caro-
lima at the commencement held
a few days ago. His frame of
mind was serious, he being now
''up against that momentous
problem which confronts every
young man about to enter upon
the active duties Of life: "What

The barn and stables OF Mr.
j L G Moore on Murphy Street
was entirely consumed by fire
Saturday night, together with
all contents except horses and
mules, which were saved. The
fire was discovered about mid
night, and to the alarm the en-
gine and hose cart quickly re-
sponded, but it was at once
realized that no power could
save the building. Therefore
all efforts were directed towards
saving nearby property, that
in most danger being the res
licences of Mr. Moore, Miss Mol
lie Murphy and Mr. E T Moody.
By strenuous work these were
saved. Two negro boys named
James Davis and Arthur Bur
CESS, being suspected of the
crime OF starting the fire, were
arrested and locked up until
Monday morning when they
were released for lack of evil
dence sufficient to warrant hold
ing them. There seems to be
no doubt that the house was
set on fire purposely. The
starting place was in the sec

there was stored a lot Of hay,

COLONIAL THEATRE.

1.-The thin girls problem is easy this
year." declares Miss Carolyn Ryan, who
plays the soubrette role of Flossie in
1.-The Sunny Side of Broadway" which
comes to the Colonial theatre for one
week, starting tonight. 1.-THE thin girl
is all the rage, the thinner the better.
It is the stout woman who must call
art to her rescue, and she needn't call
in vain. 1t is all done by contrast for
the old-time squeezing has quite gone
by. Distract the eye from the point Of
overdevelopment, and you will get the
desired effect, is the precept which is
laid down. Above all, don't dress your
self like a fowl fixed for the oven, with
a string about the waist and an undis-
guised distribution of avoirdupois. The
short stout woman should avoid tight
clothes. She should not encase herself
in black satin, with bursting seams and
tight armholes, nor must she attempt
the fiuffy-ruffles type. Speaking of
fiuffy-ruffles, I believe that that style
is an actual outgrowth of the Gibson
girl type 1t was not until after The
Belle of May Fair with a stunning
Gibson girl chorus, made its New York
hit, that the fiuffy-ruffles appeared
after which came a new type, and
which is now in vogue. This is the
famous Brinkley girl. I may presume
l am considered one of that type. The
don'ts of the art of looking slender are;
Don't wear unrelieved black.
Don't fail to cultivate long lines.
Don't wear too many petticoats.
"Don't try to adapt Sc pattern to q
Is figure.
Don't sag In one place.
Don't stick out In another and, above
all.

sousA,s BAND.

The Sousa band, which will play in
the tabernacle soon, is just beginning
the eighteenth year of its existence,
and the record it has made during that
period is a remarkable one. Its achieve
ments all testify to an unflagging de-
votion to work, catholicity of taste
In matters musical. a comprehensive
knowledge of his art, exceptional ca
paeity as a disciplinarian, a keen ap-
probation of public taste, and to the
other characteristics that go TO make
of John Philip Sousa a successful man
of affairs as we'll as an artist of I'M
usual and well merited distinction.
Both as composer and conductor, John
Philip Sousa has been recognized
throughout the world as the repre-
sentative American musician, and his
superb military marches have won for
him the sobrfquet OF The March
King" No other composer has so large
and enthusiastic a following. and no
other musical organization has given
pleasure to so many millions of music
lovers at home and abroad.
The Sousa band has made no less
than thirty-four serni-annual concert
tours in America. The great organ
