Referred to lynchins.

Judge Jones next took up Gov. Blease's
declaration that he would lead mob
to lynch a negro guilty Of certain Of
fense. He referred to the lynching or
three negroes in Bamberg county for
attempting to burn a dwelling and to
the lynching of two negroes in Chero-
kee county some days since for anoth-
er offense. Both Of these offenses, he
declared. were different from the one
Governor Blease had in mind when he
made his declaration about leading a
mob, and yet they were the result OF
the dangerous stand the governor had
taken when he declared in favor OF
lynching for a certain crime. Judge
Jones declared that the governor Of a

sentiment, for by doing so he let down

The Travelling Salmon.-The salmon
spends two-thirds Of his time travel
ing from the place of his birth to the
sea, and running from the sea up the
rivers again. At least two months OF
each year are passed in the sea.
What his life Is while he is in the sea
naturalists have no means Of knowing.
His structure enables him to indulge
his passion for gymnastics. His oar
shaped tail is provided with powerful
muscles, and on those he leans when
leaping over waterfalls. When ready
to begin his exercises he curves his
spine to form a spring; then rapidly
unbending it, strikes the water Wo-
lently, leaning, so to speak. on the
water, and springing to a height OF
sixteen feet or more to pass over the
obstacle in view The agility is the
result of practice.
Until the salmon Is a year old he
has nothing Of the appearance OF the
salmon. When of adult age he ac-
quires a handsome coat, joins the
school" and, with his companions,
fswims down the river to the sea,
where he disappears, to live his un-
known life for a time, and to grow
fat.
When he reappears he swims up the
river. Some believe that he returns
to the stream of his birth. His visit
to his birthplace ended. he takes to
the river and seeks the sea again.
During his sojourn there his stomach
rounds out, and he acquires great
beauty and sickness Returning to
the river, he finds a mate and hol-
lows out a bed in the bottom. There
the pair deposit their spawn and cover
the whole nest with sand; and then,
having done all required Of them by
nature, they run down the river to the
sea. Some species, however, die after
spawning. In the salmon streams
fish are to be seen swimming In shoals
led by aged but vigorous chaperons.
Artificial salmon beds are made by
spreading fine gravel on rocks and
laying on it spawn taken from the
natural bed with specially designed
shovels. In six weeks the eggs hatch,
and the little fish are fed on bread
crumbs or finely chopped meat. AS
they rush at their food they are
caught and placed in a reservoir or
cistern, where they are nourished on
meat. When large enough they are
transferred to more extensive tanks
When their striped gray and black
suits change to backs Of slate-blue and
flank coverings and stomachers OF sill
very gray, shimmering with all the
colorings Of mother Of pearl, they are
salmon. Then they are taken to mar
ket or to restock the rivers. But the
cultivated fish have neither the taste
nor the aroma of salmon that fatten
in the sea. The domestic salmon is
to wild salmon what the housed rab-
bit is to the rabbit Of the warren

Spoke of Education.

Judge Jones' remarks for the mex,
few minutes were on educational sub
jects. He stated that he was great
friend Of education, and that 1t was
one Of the strong planks In his plat
form. He stated that he believed In
the improvement Of the schools. and
especially of the rural schools, for II
Is there where the men who serve the
world are first trained.
Il have been called an old mossback
aristocrat," stated Judge Jones in his
closing remarks. II want to tell you
that IL there Is man anywhere In this
/, state entitled to represent the working
people of this state am that man. My
father came to Columbia to work at
the carpenters trade. There he met
and married my mother, who worked
at the dress makers trade from the
time her father died and she was fore
ed to go out into the world and make
her own living. They went to New
berry, where my father piled his trade
Of carpenter and blacksmith.
II went to the farm and got my wife.
and you better believe / got a good
one. I started life with wife and baby
and SO, and that was borrowed. I
went to Lancaster and there managed
to get a little lot, where built little
two-room house lived with my fam
lily in that little two-room house for
ten years. built a one-rail fence
about my lot and the farmers used to
ride by and laugh and say, Looks like
Jones is going to farming with his lot
and one-rail fence remember my
brother coming to see me one time and
the only place we had to put him was
on a cot, which we rigged up in the
pantry. And then the pantry was so
small my brother said when he wanted
to turn over he would have to crawl
through the window into the yard. then
turn over and crawl back In. And yet
they call me an old mossback aristo-
crat.
MY one ambition was to become
chief justice of the supreme court Of
South Carolina. imagined that when
once attained that office I would be
satisfied, that there would be nothing
else to care for would have reached
the top of the ladder in my profession.
I have done that. and yet, how strange,
have thrown away that high position
to enter the race for governor. And I
have done it because feel called upon
to redeem this state from most dan

Our Philippine Trade Doubles
Trade between the United States and
the Philippine islands more than dou-
bled in the brief period since the en-
actment Of the existing tariff law which
admits Philippine products. except
rice, free Of duty into the United
States and domestic products free Of
duty into the Philippines.
Imports into the United States from
the Philippine islands in 1908, the last
year prior to the enactment Of the law
in question, were $s.243,2A in, value
and in 1911 $20,212,s17, while domestic
exports to those islands we're In 1908
SO, ,sO4,Os7 and in 1911 $20.ss6,02s, both
imports and exports having thus more
than doubled in value in the period be-
tween 1908 and 1911
This increase in trade occurred In
practically all classes Of merchandise.

Man the Only Animal That Follows a
Trail That Way.


Trail That Way.
Spooring, properly speaking, means
following footprints, but the term COM
monty implies much more than that
and signifies holding the trail by means
of the many marks an animal leaves
behind on it's path.
1t is essentially tracking by sight
when the quarry itself Is hidden from
view, and it is this use of the eyes
alone in the pursuit of invisible gam,
that distinguishes man, the hunter
from other animals.
There is no reason to think that any
animal other than man employs eye
sight to any material extent for this
purpose, says the Strand. Conspicu-
Gus tricks, it is true, may catch the eye
of the stoat or wolf questing for prey
and draw attention to the fact that g
possible victim has passed by.
But it is hardly to be believed thai
either of these animals, high though II
certain particulars his intelligence be
has a knowledge of the shape ant
structure of the feet such as is neces.
sary for telling the nature of the spe-
cies that has left the spoor and Of the
direction it has taken.
These essentials are learned by tn,
sense Of smell. Smell will tell thu
stoat If the tracks are those of hare
it would be profitable to pursue, or o.
fox it would be unwise to follow, an(
the gradual waxing or waning of th'
scent in this or that direction will in
dicate the course that has to be chosel
If the quest is to be crowned with sue
cess.
To man alone, then, is confined th'
power of knowing these things by eye
Not that the knowledge is instructive
1t has to be acquired by strenuous ap
plication and long practice. And onl!
the individual with keen visualizinl
power and sound Judgment can hop,
to make successful tracker and at
tain proficiency in the science.
