VOTERS IN THE PRIMARY.
Change In the Rules Would Help Res
poet For Law.

The newspapers are still discussing
the proposition to allow only register
ed voters to vote in the Democratic
primaries.
Although the proposition was killed
at the recent state convention. it Is
still a very live issue, as the continued
discussion Of it shows.
Our own position has been stated
repeatedly. The restriction ought to
be adopted, in our opinion, but 1t
should not be put into effect until af-
ter ample notice has been given. We
think the convention this year should
have adopted the restriction, to go in
to effect two years hence.
One of the best arguments advanced
for it was that put forth by cores
pondent of the Laurens Advertiser.
This correspondent believed 1t would be
conducive to a better observance Of
the law.
Under the law, he said, only regis
tered voters can vote In the general
elections. That Is the law, and in or
der to be able to vote a man must
comply with the law. There is no such
requirement for voting in the prima-
ries, and consequently many men vote
in the general elections. And in this
way they come to look upon the regis
tration law with sort Of contempt
certainly they look upon it as a law
which they do not have to obey.
If the voters had to register in or
der to vote in the primaries, it was ar
gued, they would come into contact
with the law, and by having to comply
with the law they would come to have
more respect for it. And that, 1t was
argued, is a thing to be greatly de-
sired.
There is much in this view. We
think it is one of the strongest argu-
ments that has yet been advanced

FRICTION.
What Causes Il and What Would Hap
pen Without It.

What is friction really caused by
Whv will two things in contact not
slip over each other easily? 1t Is be-
cause every substance known 10
science has teeth; microscopic, 1t IS
true, but still teeth. The result, then'
| Is obvious. If we shove a book across
n table the teeth of the book inter-
lock with the teeth of the table just
as cogwheels do, and the push mas 10
be strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them off for the
motion to continue.
It has actually been observed in a
miscroscope that If the push Is only
slight one and moves the book only
short distance, on the pressure of the
| hand being removed the book actually
| Jumps back to it's former position.
This action is a slight bending of the
two sets of teeth, only not far enough
for them to lose their relative posi-
tions. and their elasticity on being re-
leased makes the book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction
| Is not so much between different bod
les as between bodies of the same ma
terial. One industrial application Oh
this is the bearings for steel aXles
Iney are maze Ol DIdSS lii"te"' Va
steel.
In some things we want as much
| friction as possible and in others as
little. The former is illustrated in the
| friction between an engine wheel ana
| the track, sand sometimes being pour
| ed on the track to increase the frlc-
| ton. The latter case is illustrated IN
all bearings where rotating metal Is III
contact with stationary metal, some
times ball bearings being substituted
thus lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would happen
if there was no friction. All screws
in wood would Immediately twist
backward rapidly and shoot out INTO
the air. trains could not run save on
cogged rails. which would probably be
necessary above as we'll as below
| thus having four rails instead vi two;
buildings would tumble down, ana
new ones could not be built unless
nodded in place like Edison's or else
riveted together. People would nave
| to wear shoes with long spikes IN
them and then have to be careful 1or
dirt grains would slip over one anoth
or easily and would act like deep sand.
But one great thing would happen
machines would run at 100 per cent
efficiency. would give out as much
energy as was put into them.-LaW-

Epioram of an Indian.

The recent visit of the Crow Indian
chiefs TO the White House TO see Pres
ident Taft concerning the disposition
of their lands has recalled a good
story of old shah -bah-skong head
chief of the Mile Lac. the memory or
whom is still preserved in the inte-
rior department.
The chief took all his warriors TO
defend Fort Ripley in 1862. and Tor
this act of bravery the secretary or
the interior. the governor and the leg
islature of Minnesota promised the
Indians that they should have the
special care of the government and
never be compelled to move from
their lands.
A few years later a special agent
was sent from Washington to ask the
Ojibways to cede their lands and re-
move to a country north OF Leech
Lake. The agent called the Indians
in council and said:
My red brothers, your great faith
er has heard how you have been
wronged. He said: L will send them
an honest man. He looked in the
north, the south. the east and the
west. When he saw me he said: This
is the honest man whom ! Will SEND
to my red children. Brothers. look
at me. The winds of So years have
hIown over nv head and silvered /.
over with gray. and in all that time
have newer done wrong to any man.
As your friend. ask you to sign this
treaty" .,o
Old shah -bah-skong sprang TO MS
feet and said: My friend, look al
me, The winds of more than fifty
winters have blown over my head and
silvered it with gray. but they have
not blown my brain away."-St. Louis

A North Carolina Judge Who Knows
What Il Really ls.

What II Really ls.
In introducing Attorney General
Thomas w. Beckett to the commence
ment audience at Dallas last week, Mr..
A. L. Bulwinkle made reference to Mr..
Bickett's now famous description OF
that article so much talked Of In
prohibition territory, near-beer. Ga
zette readers who have not read 1t will
be interested in 1t so we reprint 1t be-
low:
What is near-beer?" he asked. 1.-The
testimony in this case shows that 1t Is
a beverage that finds ready sale as a
substitute for real beer. Our bibulous
constituents cry for 1t as children cry
for castoria 1t is made by the people
that make beer, and drunk by the peo-
pie that drink beer. 1t looks like beer,
smells like beer, tastes like beer. 1t Is
served by the same white aproned,
many chinned friend who was wont
to comfort us in other days. 1t is
showed across the old oaken counter
and the mirrored back bar, while the
picture Of Aphrodite springing from
the foam makes the illusion complete.
And some times in the cleaning the
alchemy of & shadow projected from
a policeman's expansive back and fall
ing athwart the bar, works transfor-
nation and suddenly, even as the
thirsty one lifts the cup to his lips,
near-beer becomes the real thing.
And yet this court Is asked to rel
egate this juicy beverage, this scion OF
centuries Of watts to the insipid level
of soda water. Perish the thought!
It proclaims itself in North Carolina as
sole heir and successor to the gaudy
fluid. 1t boasts of its bubbles and
sparkle and snap. 1t says to the dis
consolate legions in an arid land, 1
may not be entirely wicked-but try
me- 1t capitalizes its kinship with
Budweiser and Schlitz. 1t scorns soda
water as Roosevelt scorns a molly cod
die, and lords it over grape juice like
a mint julep over milk shake. -

PRINCE AND REPORTERS.
A Story of Edward VII. and Two
Newspaper Men.

When King Edward VII. was Prince
of Wales. and visiting this country in
charge Of the Duke Of Newcastle, his
movements were very closely watched
by the newspaper men Of the day
Among those assigned to this duty
were Mortimer Thomson g. K. Phil
ander Doesticks for the New York
Tribune, and George F. Williams for
The New York Times.
On one occasion, while writing up
the royal party in their apartments at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the duke Of
Newcastle was called away for a short
time, and these two newspaper men
were left alone with the prince. He
expressed himself as decidedly bored
by all the official receptions that were
being given him and at meeting the
distinguished persons that called, and
said that he wished that he could go
into the streets and see the city by
himself. "Doesticks" suggested that
this was good time to do 1t, and that
they could slip out a back way and
have good time. The prince joyful
ly welcomed the suggestion and he
accompanied by Thomson and Will
liams, went out a back way and took
a run through the streets around Un-
ion square and adjoining places.
Among other places Of interest he was
introduced to one Of the prominent
cafes Of the time, where he was re-
galed with a mint julep-the first
time that a concoction of this kind
H. tAI 20 ht a
was so delighted with 1t that he want
ed to duplicate, but the boys"
thought 1t was time to be getting back
to the hotel before the princes alb
sence was noticed.
They reached the princes reception
room all right, but found that the
duke of Newcastle had already discov-
cred his absence, and there was ter
rifle commotion going forward in con-
sequence. The duke was extremely
angry with the newspaper men and he
threatened to have them turned out,
and refused facilities for reporting the
movements of the royal party. The
reporters said they did not object, be-
cause the story Of the, princes esca,
pade would make good reading, and
amply atone for any disappointment
they might suffer by not being allow
ed to accompany the party further.
They also informed the duke that If
the story was printed and elaborated
upon as they felt inclined to do. the
duke himself would be In disgrace as
negligent chaperon" in allowing
the prince to be kidnapped. There
upon the duke was appeased, friendly
relations were re-established, and
Thomson and Williams accompanied
the royal party in its progress through
the country.-New York Times.

Christina, who died three months af-
terward. The king then placed it IN
his own casket of precious relics and
he lived less than a year. The queen
regent was not disposed to run any
risk and refused to accept such a
deadly possession and had it hung on
the statue, as stated.
Many Spaniards believe this ring to
be possessed of mystic powers by
which unworthy wearers of it are
slain. To a worthy sovereign they
claim it will assure prosperity and a
long life, and to its magic influence
attribute the young kings escape from
injury in the bomb explosion on his
wedding day.
The emperor of Germany has a ring
he wears at all times and regards as
his own peculiar talisman, though few
are aware of this fact. A curious his
tory Is related of It, 1t Is to the effect
that in the days Of Elector John of
Bradenburg, one of the early Hohen-
zollerns, a toad entered that worthy's
room one night and placed a small
stone on the bed. The toad then dis
appeared, and ever since the stone,
which has no real value, has been
treasured as one of the most precious
Of the house Of Hohenzollern. BY the
father Of Frederick the Great it was
set in a ring, which since that time
has always adorned the finger of the
head of the house.
The emperor has also another ring
he highly prizes, which for centuries
has been credited with supernatural
power to protect it's wearer from harm
Of any kind.
This ring has a very romantic his
tory, dating from far off days when his
ancestors the Margraves of Nurem-
berg, followed their leaders to the cap
ture Of the Holy Sepulchre from the
Moslems. The ring, which was cap
tured in hard fought battle under the
walls of Jerusalem, came into posses
sion of the. Margrave Ulrich, from
whom it has descended as a highly
priced heirloom.
The ring Is of massive gold, with a
square, dark colored stone, and is
worn by the emperor on the middle
finger Of his left hand. The sentence
from the Koran that adorned the ring
when worn by Saladin and his sue
cessors has been removed and Latin
cross engraved in it's place.
The emperor has many pet supersti-
tions He has a horror Of cats, and
none is even permitted to appear in his
presence. At the time of his last visit
to England all the cats at the castles
he was to visit were rounded up and
sent into exile until he had departed.
The emperor affects the agate, as
this stone is said to have the property
Of assuring it's possessor long life,
health and prosperity.
There exists in Germany a supersti-
tion that the empire will be over
thrown when the emperor has seven
sons. William II. has six. The en-
peror is always careful that the ances-
tral cradle Of the Hohenzollerns should
be used for each infant member Of his
family in succession. This cradle is
over two centuries oiu and Is Of curl
ously carved black oak. 1t is supposed
to protect the baby which sleeps in 1t
from convulsions and other childish
ailments.-Baltimore Sun.

Men of the Highest intelligence Not
Exempt.
The royal houses of Europe have
their own peculiar superstitions. II
Is surprising to educated people to
know what dependence exalted per-
sonages of the Old World place in
signs, omens and other witchery.
Italy offers a very striking example
1t is believed that dire misfortune will
befall the reigning monarch if the
chamber Of his predecessor be inter-
fered with till at least two generations
have passed. Therefore the room OF
the late King Humbert at the Quiri-
nal is closed, no one except members
of the royal family being permitted to
enter it. Thus IT will remain silent
and unused, like the apartment ol
King Victor Emmanuel. King Hum
bert's father. which is just as it was
at the time Of his death some thirty
years ago.
A ring studded with diamonds and
pearls hangs suspended by a golden
chain around the neck of the statue OF
the Virgin of Almudena of Madrid
which is located in one of the most
frequented parks of that city. 1t is
safer there than in the strong room
of the Bank Of Spain. Thousands OF
people pass it every day and admire its
beauty; but the greatest thief in Spain
would rather die than touch 1t, as 1t Is
believed to deal out death to whom 1t
belongs. This ring was presented by
Alfonso XII. to his .consort, Queen
Mercedes. who died within month
afterward. Ere the funeral had taken
place the King bestowed the ring on
his sister Maria. and she was dead In
few days.
The fatal circlet then coming again
into his possession he presented 1t to
his late queens grandmother. Queen
