CHILD WAS HIS INSPIRATION
Remarkably Strong Eond Of Affection
Existed Between "Labby" and
His Daughter.

Mr.. Labouchere was bitter
sleepless foe to cruelty to women and
children. The world knows some Of
the abuses he corrected, but thers
are scores of others which have
never come before the public eye,
where children and women have been
rescued from torture, from vice and
from deception.
The explanation Of this side Of
his character would at one time
have been reached if Labby could
have been seen patiently rowing a
boat On the Thames at Twickenham
and chatting easily and considerate-
ly with a little girl whose piercing
black eyes and expression and even
speech were such startling repro
duction Of his own, and whose tiny
face bore positively weird resem-
blance to that Of the portrait Of
Labby's handsome mother which
then hung in his dining room. The
softest spot in Labby's heart-the
most effective inspiration of most of
his war on wrong and cruelty-was
his frank, simple, pathetic affection
for his little daughter who, now a
woman grown, was present with him
at his death.-Westminster Gazette.

ONLY THE OUTSIDE COPIED
Japan's imitation Of Modern Civiiz7
tlon Criticised by Paper Of
That Country.

The power of imitation Of OUT
people is congenital and greatly de-
veloped, and we have with remark
able rapidity graspcd and put to our
own use the sciences Of war. me-
chanics and education. The rapid
ity of this progress has made the for
aigner speechless, but viewed from
within, this newly developed ciyLi-
zation shows great weakness. 1t is
a grief to the learned and is startling
to them. The introduction Of this
system of civilization was splendid
thing to our countrymen used to the
spirit of feudalism. 1t dazzled the
eve like silk damask. The giving up
Of the old and the taking on Of the
new system, but vaguely defined in
the hearts Of men, was the force
back Of the movement urging men
on. There was no suspicion that the
tendencies were novel. Thus our
people unitedly exerted themselves
in the copying of outward things.
but it did not perneate tc the extent
of getting a grasp Of fundamentals.
It was nothing more than superficial
imitation.-Japan Advertiser.

ELECTRIC CHAIR
TO BE INSTALLED
Directors Authorized to Purchase
Appliances to EIecnoeute
Three Prisoners in June

The Electric chair is to sup
plant the rope in South Caro-
lima for legal executions as the
result of an act of the general
assembly. The measure as
passed by the legislature pro-
vides that all persons convicted
of capital crime and have i'm
posed upon them the sentence
of death shall suffer the penalty
by electrocution within the
walls of the State penitentia:y
and under the direction Of the
superintendent of the penite.iti-
ary.
The act requires the board Of
directories of the State penitent-
iary to provide a death ch mber
and all necessary appliances for
infiicting the punishment and
to pay the cost ou5 of the funds
of the State prison. The ex-
pense of transporting any such
criminal to the penitentiary is
to be paid by the county in
which the ofense is committed.

FLAMES DESTROY
OREGON HOTEL
Well Known Hotel and Block OF
Stores Up in Smoke III
Early Hours.
Sna, ,.ial to The State.

Special to Inc State.
Greenwood, March 3.-Ihe
Oregon hotel and its block OF
stores here were totally destroy
ed bv fire early this morning.
Where once stood the famous
hotel is now mere smoiderlns
heap Of burning debres with
fragments of ruined brick walls
and useless chimneys standing
upright in the midst.
The fire represents a property
loss of approximately sl4Oo.W,
with perhaps less than half that
amount in insurance. The loss
to the town is far greater than
the figures would indicate. The
Oregon hotel has been one of
the towns greatest features ever
since its establishment, and to
be deprived of it is a very great
loss indeed. Most fortunately
no lives were lost. Though
some who escaped did so by
the skin of their teeth" and
with little on save their natural
skins.

The heads Of various departments

permission to Chicago moving pic

Of the workings of various industries
Of the government. The pictures

for public lectures and so forth.
More and more is the invention Of
moving pictures demonstrating its
high educational value, and few
things will increase this value SO

is highly desirable that the average
citizen should know as much as pos

THROW" HORSE TO SHOE HIM
BIacksmlths in Turkey Render Animal
Helpless Before Beginning
the Operation.

In many parts Of Turkey horse
shoes are simply a fiat plate of iron
with a hole in the middle. An ex-
traordinary method still obtains in
portions Of the Ottoman empire OF
shoeing the horse.
The farrier doubles a long rope
and knots a loop at the end to about
the size Of a large horse collar. This
is put over the horses head after
the manner of a horses collar, and
the knot rests on the horses chest.
The next step is to bring the two
ends of the rope between the tni-
mails legs. Each rope then, taken
by a man, is hitched on the fetlocks
of the horses legs and brought
through the loop in front. Then, by
a hard, steady pull, the hind legs are
drawn up to the forelegs and the
horse falls heavily on its side.
All four feet are now tied togeth-
er by the fetlocks, the horse is
propped up on his back, and the far
rier sits quietly down beside him,
takes off the old shoes and puts Oh
the new.

AND THIS FROM CHICAGO!

A woman who has taken to avia-
ton says she expects air flights to
be taken up by Society" as a sport,
for the reason that the high expense
Of machines and operation makes it
prohibitive for those of moderate
means Society, which is always on
the outlook for some new sensation,
will, she thinks, soon adopt aviation
for its amusement because it is a
'shigh-class sport" a woman" she
says, "does not have to be trick
bicycle rider or circus performer to
take it up, for such experience is en-
tirely unnecessary" We hope her
prediction proves true. Nothing
would please US better than to know
that the divorce crowd Of New York,
for instance, was up in biplanes or
monoplanes headed for the eternal
stars.-Chicago Tribune.

The general assembly has ad-
ioQlned sine die, after o tcmpes-
tuors session, which lasted for
50 davs. The motion to adjourn
was passed by the house Thurs
dav afternoon at 335 O'Clock
and by the senate one hour later
The regular session, which be-
gan January 9, would have end
February II had not the neces-
sity for 4 recess session arisen.
For the past two days the
house has been playing q wait
ing game, while the senate
fought for its constitutional
right to have certain appoint
ments made upon its recommen-
lation by Gov. B!ease. The is
sae of right Of local self govern
ment was sharply drawn in the
senate. which voted Wednesday
morning to rescind its former
action in setting Wednesday as
the date for adjournment sine
die when it was seen that Gov.
B,ease was determined not to
make the appointments upon its
recommendation as required by
law.
But the house refused to gree
to prolong the session and help
the senate in its fight for its
rights. One thing that Influenced
the house to take this step was
the fact that the senate did not
act upon its concurrent .esolu-
ton. passed during the last week
OF tne regular session, which
named May 2S as the date for
beginning d recess session in or
sjer to allow time for perfecting
the code and hearing the report
Of the dispensarv i !estigating

ons for a recess Ave been dis

Blease And His Vetos.

Gov. Cole Blease of South
Carolina appears to be without
any influence with the legisla-
ture of his State. 1t is doubtful
if any state has had a legis-
lature which is so set against
doing what the governor wants
done as the South Carolina
legislature is opposed to the
policies and recommendations
of Gov. Blease.
Gov. Blease sent in veto mes
sages on 81 items in the general
appropriation bill. The house
refused to sustain his veto on 2o
of those items. The hill was
sent to the senate and the
senate also refused to sustain
the governors veto on the %
items. Then to make sure that
the appropriation bill. would not
be killed through some trick,
the house and senate repassed it
in entirety.
This is not the first time that
the legislature has manifested
its lack of confidence in the
governor. 1t seems that the
South Carolina legislature is for
what Blease is against, and is
against what Blease is for.
There has been a disposition to
smile at South Carolina for
electing a man governor who
cuts so many capers as Blease,
but it is evident that there is a
considerable number of people,
particularly in the legislature.
who entertain the Same opinion
of Blease as most of the people
on the outside of South Caro-
lima.

How to Get Rid of Cut-Worms.

Now is the time to get rid OF
the troublesome cut-wormS. Do
not wait until they are running
your stand of cotton and corn
and then "a! tempt to control
them; for then there is little that
can be done. In the fields where
they did damage last year, plow
the land deep this spring, for
;he worms which are going to
give you trouble are now in
little rounded cells in the soil,
dug out for their protection last
fall when cold weather came on.
This deep plowing will turn
many of the worms under so
that they will never be able to
get to the surface to do any
damage. Not all of them will
be killed in thisi way. Expert
ence has shown that it is a good
plan to follow this up by an ad-
ditional measure. About plant
ing time, in clear sweather, cut
any fresh, green material which
may be about the house, prefer
ably clover, and dip this into a
barrel of poison solution, made
by dissolvirg one pound of Paris
green (the substance used for
killing potato bugs in fifty gal
Ions of water. In the late after
noon, scatter this poisoned veg
citation lightly over the worst
infested acres so that it will not
wilt too quickly. The starved
cut-worms, having had no food
all winter, come out at night
and eat this greedily, and are
poisoned. Frequent shallow cul-
tivation, as close to the Young
plants as can be done without
injury to them; also proves g
check to the work of these pests.
The best permanent way to han
die them, though. is by rotation
of crops. practicing deep foll
plowing, thorough spring prep
aration, and by keeping the land
covered in winter with some
cover cron, such as rye or vetch,
or better Sill, crimson clover, if
it can be .rouii
The prob!.t:: IN the garden is

methods app'y. An important

Waste On The Farm.
Charlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
E. W. Dabbs is president OF
the South Carolina Farmers,
Union. He lives at Mayesville,
in the Pee Dee country, one OF
the richest farming districts in
the South. A week or so ago
he happened to be down on one
of the wharves in Charleston
and was dismayed when he saw
a shipload of Northern grown
hay being unloaded for ship
ments to interior points. The
shipments of hay from Phila-
delphia to Charleston run from
five to ten carloads by every
ship arriving in port. Ihls
hay" Mr.. Dabbs explains, is
grown in Canada, shipped by
rail to Philadelphia, then by
water to Charleston. 1t costs
laid down Charleston s2S to s3O
the tom Great quantities
of it are ahipped to interior
points of the State. Good pea
vine hay at st. George is worth
only SIS the ton. Northern hay
is sold in Orangeburg and at
Sumter at from s3l to s35 the
ton. In 1910, according to the
census bureau, South Carolina
farmers paid l,S31, 900 for feed
for their stock, or about the
value of $500 bales of cotton
at $50 the bale. Swapping cot
ton at 10 cents the pound for
hay at $50 the ton is a losing
business. Yet the farmers can
not understand why they do
not get ahead.
