do with Miss Gaymer's retirement? A
case of piaue-eh? Heads wagged sagely
and eyebrows were elevated. Poor Joan!
Like all the great ones OF the earth, she
had her detractors.
Sylvia herself was lost in the clouds by
this time. When not engaged in obeying
Joan's mandate to dance the soles OF her

views to obseQutous young men, who
sureed round in respectful platoons and
hoped that, though disappointed on this
occasion, they might have the pleasure

Never was there such a triumph. The
girl, radiant and fiuttering, smiled and
blushed and wrote down hopeless HERO
glyphics on the back Of her program.

eclipsed, sat cOntentedly by and realized
TO the full the truth Of her own dictum
that all Sylvia Tarrant wanted was a
start.
Later I'm the evening the watchful eye OF
Hughie Marrable detected the fact that
Joan had disappeared from amid the con-
course of matrons.. and he speculated as
to where she might be. He himself was
enjoying a brief period of freedom, his
partner for the moment having pleaded
urgent private repairs and vanished to the
regions above, and the idea had struck
him that Joan might be going supperless.
A brief scrutiny informed him that she
was neither in the ballroom nor the sup

His instincts had not failed him. Miss

of the dusty electric light glinted upon

Some days ago 1t was given out
from Washington that Secretary Will
son had announced that there had
been made a discovery Of rich potash
deposits, equaling those Of Germany,
somewhere in America. Exactly where
the alleged deposits are located is not
known. The news, If true, Is Of tre-
mendous Importance to American
farmers, because this country annually
sends to Germany many millions of
dollars for potash. But there seems to
be considerable doubt as to whether
there is any truth in the Washington
story Indeed, there has come from
Germany a statement that the alleged
new discovery Is really an old discov-
cry; that the Germans were advised
of the American deposits some time
ago and last year they had the refusal
of the properties at a price; but de-
clined to invest for the reason that
there was not sufficient promise Of
profitable return. However all this
may be, it does seem that somewhere
on this great North American conti-
nent there should be potash deposits
as pure and as abundant as those Of
Germany or any other place in the
world. And, maybe, after all such de-
mean much to American farmers.

The expulsion of the traditional
municipal powers in Charleston Is not
in itself a thing to grieve over. They
have no inherited right to office and
the Tenth ward is not less entitled
to ascendancy than Is the Second. The
uprising Of the masses Is good sign,
sometimes, even against worthy men
In office, and he Is a poor Democrat
who Is without sympathy with the
ambition Of Grace and his friends to
obtain recognition. The misfortune
Of the Grace victory lies in the un-
likelihood that It will help the people
who made 1t. The masses receive
no benefit from corrupt political
methods-the padding of club rolls.
They gain nothing through a policy
They derive no advantage from the
distribution Of little offices among
the ward heelers and the maintenance
of machine" that distributes largess
in election years. Orderly, business
like government Is Of more import
ance to the poor man than to the
rich mantle rich man always takes
care of himself-but that is what so
many Of the poor so seldom learn.
Were the election of Grace to have
the effect of rallying the forces Of
good government In Charleston, 1t
would be worth the disappointment
that 1t costs, but that result may not
be sanguirely predicted. Even. now,
we suspect, there are politicians In
Charleston, who supported Hyde.
running to cover. They will make
such terms with the victors as they
can. and they will accept such quar-
ter as Is offered. Mr.. Grace will
shrewdly recruit his machine" from
the ranks Of the vanquished and he
will grant amnesty where 1t will pay.
He will run for mayor again. He Is
not in politics for his health or, for
that matter, the health Of the people.
Charleston Is not without politicians
who. above most things, value their
little jobs. and the habit Of swapping
around Is not uncommon among them.
Some of the Hyde men Of Tuesday
are Grace men today Nevertheless,
there will be an uprising for good
government in Charleston some day.
The election Of Grace, perhaps, has
tens It, The election Of Hyde would
have served only to postpone the ne
cessity for It,

Mr.. Bryan and Champ Clark have
expressed satisfaction as the outcome
of last Tuesdays election; but we do
not see that the Democrats have gain
ed anything worth while. That Ken
lucky should go Democratic is not
surprising, because Kentucky is natu-
rally Democratic anyway. The situa-
tion Of New York and New Jersey,
with Democratic governors and Re-
publican legislatures is anything but
encouraging, and the very close vote
by which Foss was reelected by the
Democrats in Massachusetts, seems to
indicate that there has not been so
much change of sentiment among the
Republicans on the tariff question as
has been generally claimed. Maryland
also is a disappointment, having gone
Republican, and the principal cause of
satisfaction in the whole thing seems
to come from Ohio, which has done
very WELL

But one thing those folks over on
the river who are considering the idea
of going to Cherokee, should remem-
Der, is that if they do go to Cherokee
and they don't like 1t over there, they
will be. unable to come back. Accord
ing to the constitution no old county
can be cut below 500 square miles, and
no new county can be formed with
less than 400 square miles. Cherokee
has less than 400 square miles to be-
gin with, and will still have less than
400 square miles after she gets all the
remaining territory she can hope to
get from York; but anyway under the
constitution she would now be consid-
cred an old county, and could not
spare any territory Mess she had an
excess of 500 square miles. So if our
Broad River friends decide to go, we
regret to say that they will have to go
for keeps.

(Charlotte Observer,)

After a bitter fight in Charleston,
John P. Grace was on Tuesday elect
ed mayor, defeating Tristram T.
Hyde by a small majority. There
will be much disappointment among
many Of the best people in the COM
munity at this result; but 1t cannot
be helped now, and the Interests OF
the community are of far greater i'm
portance than the election of any
man or the triumph of any faction.
With Mr.. Grace there was elected a
city council in harmony with him
and the purposes he has In view In
the government of his town. He and
his council will hold office for four
years, and just at this time four of
the most important years in the life
and development of Charleston. They
will be on trial; but the city will be
on trial at the same time, also, and
distant we'll wisher and loyal friend
always, trusts sincerely that some
working plan can be reached by which
the welfare of the community will be
advanced. Mr.. Grace possesses abil-
ity of no mean order. He was born
in Charleston, and there he has made
his home. He has great energy, is
not afraid, and has the greatest op-
portunity of his life, which we hope
and believe, II he Is not ruDDed tne
wrong way" he will embrace to his
own honor and for the good Of the
community of which he is a part. If
we had lived in Charleston, we should
have opposed his election, not because
he is lacking in ability or fidelity to
his friends or in strength of char
acter; but because his chief oppe-
nent is more nearly in touch with the
things which are, in our opinion, es-
sential to the larger growth Of the
town, speaking in a broad way. Our
sense of loyalty to the community,
however would not deter us from
giving the most sincere support to
his administration in all worthy and
desirable reforms he may initiate,
believing that the interests Of the
town are of paramount Importance
in all matters affecting its progress.
