Avertino a Defeat.

A certain political boss always con-
trolled his delegations to the co1yen'
tions, and the delegates voted the way
he told them to--and not until he did
tell him.
At one convention n delegate pro-
scented a resolution that the boss IA
vored. but had not heard about soor
enough to post his delegates as to how
they should vote on it.
The chairman of the contention pus
the question. "All in favor of this res
olution say aye"
There were a few ayes. and the boss
delegates looked at him inquiringly.
Seeing that he would not have time to
pass the word and wanting the resolu-
ton passed. he dashed down the aisle
toward the chairman. waving hir
hands and shouting:
Don't put the negative! Don't put
the negative! ! did that once and got
In n - of a fix."-Saturday Evening

busy" and produce more live stock;
second. that the American consumer
can safely get along with very much
less meat than he is now using. The
former deduction is more obvious than
the latter It would. not be illogical to
assert that the most obvious teaching
OF these statistics is that people crave
a meat diet and indulge the craving
when they can. and that this is the
reason where there is the largest con-

his appetite in his youth. II have as
keen an appetite now as any man"
he said, ''but know when TO stop"
AIirabeau is stated to have been an
enormous feeder, eating as much ut u
meal as would suffice three ordinary
men. Talleyrand was also a noted
eater. Goethe and Napoleon ate large
quantities of food. but cared little for
the quality. Bismarck was noted for
his appetite. which was Unsuitable, but
his food was of the simplest.
Many stories are told OF the gross
delight in eating evinced by the two
Dumases. father and son. one of which
is that the younger. being overtaken
by storm. took refuge in hotel near

SHOULD NOT BE PAID.

The legislature should stand square
footed and refuse to pay that bill of
$13,550 presented by the architects
who made the drawings for remodel
ed State House. Although we have
not seen the bill itself, from what we
can gather from the newspaper re-
ports sent out from Columbia. the
committee was not empowered to
have drawings made for two new
wings and dome. Only few chang
es in the building were contemplated.
If the committee saw fit to overstep
its Instructions. it should be made to
pay the bill. 1t looks to us, with the
information at hand, that this is an
impositisp upon the taxpayers of the
state and the Legislature should not
stand for it.

The News and Courier's position as
to permanent highways we think is
entirely proper. While for temporary
effect, the split log drag is eminently
an instrument of great good and one
which The Advertiser endorses heart
lily still the open pocket book is the
only solution for permanent highways.

The Greatest Of American Plays.

Eugene Walters great play Of mod
ern New York, Paid in Full" holds
an extraordinary place in dramatic
criticism. 1t stands alone as the only
play that has been universally praised
by dramatic critics in every city where
it has been seen. This fact estab-
fishes it's exceptional power and
worth, and Is apart from the evidence
furnished by the three million per
sons who have seen it, far more than
ever have witnessed any other play In
like time Such unvarying tribute
from dramatic critics as has been Civ

Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and all
leading cities Of this country, and
equally in the smaller ones, where

1t has swept all dramatic writer's to
highest enthusiasm. Everyone has
written it down as the greatest play
OF the age. striking feature OF this
praise which emphasizes the plays

THE PINE BARK BEETLE.

The recent denial by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the recent
cold weather has extinguished the boil
weevil brings up statement that was
made to us some time ago by one OF
our staunchest citizens He said that
many years ago, within the memory
or many of the older men, it was one
OF the rules of all plantations that no
pine trees should be cut down or de-
faced in any way between the months
of October and March. The reason Civ
en- was that If the pine trees were cut
down and the limbs allowed to dry out
and rot that these dead limbs furnish
ed breeding places for the beetles.
BY adhering to this rule, the people in
those days were enabled to keep the
ravageS of the beetle down.
Now that the beetle is spreading to
such an alarming extent, it would be
wise for us to follow in the footsteps
of our elders and quit killing pine
trees during those months. This gen
tleman advocated a law to restrain
people from cutting pine timber dur
ing those months and we are quite
sure that If such law were enforc-
ed. it would be great stride towards
the determination of the beetle.

"THE USE OF COCAINE.n

The Anderson Daily Mail favors
restrictive and protective legislation"
to counteract the spreading use of CO.
caine and other such stimulants. It
kindly refers to few remarks which
we had to say on the subject some
months ago and goes further into the
matter, giving very striking discus
sion OF the general tendency of the
people of this country towards over
exertion and the resulting necessity
for resorting to drugs. 1t asks Can
1T be that the great agrarian country
of ours is becoming addicted to the
hallucinating effects Of somniferous
drugs?" While from our own reading,
we have cotton under the impression
from possible hearsay evidence, that
the use of drugs is becoming more and
more menacing all over the United
States. we have within our own coun-
ty evidences that its use is spreading
and becoming quite a serious matter
