(From the Chester Iantern)

Chief Justice Ira B. Jones yesterday
announced his resignation from the po-
sition of chief justice to take effect
before the legislature meets. This is
taken as indicative of Mr.. Jones's in
tention to oppose Blease for governor
next summer, and that he will make a
formidable candidate no one denies.
Mr.. Jones has long been prominent In
the public life Of the state and with
him in the race it Is believed that
South Carolina will put him in the ex-
ecutive chair. Mr.. Jones Is Of a dis
tinguished family, and a brainy man,
and all South Carolina will rally to his
standard.

Maps Serve Purpose
Of Home Reminders

To that general information bureau,
the elevator starter, went the man
who wished to see a large map of
Wisconsin. Where can 1 find one?"
he said.
"There is a Wisconsin man in bust
ness on the eleventh floor" said the
starter. Hell be likely to have one"
Up to the eleventh floor went the
seeker for a map. He found one there.
How does IT happen" he said to the
Wisconsin exile, that all you men
from other States keep life size map
of your native State hanging up in
your Offices for a year or two after
migrating to New York? Is 1t because
you are homesick?"
"Partly,' said the Wisconsin man,
and partly for the accommodation OF
visitors from back home. L guess you
are right about every last one of us
eXiles clinging to a home map for
while. have been into the offices
of recent arrivals from half the
States in the Union and every place
saw a State map. / suppose those
people got them for the same reason
did. Back in Milwaukee / never
thought of owning a map of Wiscon-
sim but now ] am a thousand miles
away and 1t does me good to trace
familiar railroad routes and locate
Wisconsin people here on a visit drop
in and as they expect to go back soon
it is a material as well as a senti-
mental advantage to them to find a
Wisconsin map handy."--New York
