bert. who was on last Saturday night
left off the list of delegates to the
Rchland County Convention from
Ward 1 in which he is a resident and
IN, which club he was enrolled, is now
enrolled in Ward Club, his name
having been put on that club roll
since the action Of Ward 1 Club in
leaving him out Of the list of dele
gates. While no statement has been
Issued along this line, it is presumed
ti.ai Mr.. Rembert will be in the
County Convention as a delegate from
Ward 3. and this action foresha dow-s

to have been the work of the on

The action Of Mr.. Rembert in NOV

the County Convention is similar to
the action Of Governor Blease at New
berry, the Governor being chosen a
delegate to the Newberry County Con-
vcntion from another club following
the action of his home club in turning
him down as a delegate.
Everyone loks for Mr.. Rembert in
the county convention and also looks
Tor big fight between the Blease and
Anti Blease forces. They consider the
action Of Mr.. Rembert to mean that
he will carry the fight to the floor of
the County Convention, and it has
been rumOred that Mr.. Rembert Is
looking to one Of the places on this

Ah-Tish-Oo!

The only attention We pay to q
sneeze at the present day is to endeav.
Or to get rid of the chill which causes
it, but a sneeze In the days of old
Greece was matter OF great concern
and IMPORT.
There was then a god OF sneezing,
and great undertakings would even be
abandoned if man sneezed at an in
appropriate moment, the act being
looked upon as the oracle Of the god.
A sneeze between midnight and
noon was looked upon as a fortunate
sign. but between moon and midnight
it betokened great misfortune. To
5neeze to your right was lucky: to the
left unlucky. Two or four sneezes were
lucky, one or three very unlucky, and
any undertaking in hand should, II
possible. be abandoned; more than
four sneeZes did not count
There is a saying in many parts of
England today, "Once a wish, twice a
kiss, three times letter, four times
something better" II people sneezed
together 1t was good sign, particular
'y IL they happened to be discussing
business.

WILL BE DEADLY FOE
GERMAN CLAIMS HE CAN MAKE
AIRsHIP INVISIBLE.
Proposed Terror 10 to Be ~ Large ~
the Steamer Olympic and Able to
Defy the Telescope at the
Distance Of . Mile.

The invisible airship has already
been patented by its inventor Baron
Roenne. Baron Roenne 10 well known
engineer, SO more respect must be
paid to his ideas than to those who
try inventing without any technical
knowledge.
Baron Roenne has submitted his
idea to the officials at the Greenwich
Royal Observatory. and they declare
that 1t is based on scientific princi-
rles. and most certainly practicable.
They way this remarkable airship is
made invisible is as follows:
Take a white wall and paste a white
sheet Of paper on II. At a distance of
q few feet you may be able to detect
where the paper leaves OF and the
wall begins. At a hundred yards the
wall looks all wall You would never
suspect the paper OF being there II
you did not known already. That is
Baron Roenne's idea.
The outside covering Of his airship
Is made OF metal. the composition OF
which Is a secret. 1t is almost as
strong as steel, yet 1t only weighs one
fourth as much. No hydrogen can
danger Of an airship exploding from
that cause disappears.
1t is due to the discovery of chro-
MUM. In fact. that the invisible air
ship Is possible. The most important
thing about the metal. as far as Baron
Roenne is concerned, is that 1t pos
sesses very highly polished surface.
This is covered over with a thin
coating Of transparent varnish. The
whole surface Of the dirigible. in fact,
acts as mirror. and reflects the same
color as its surroundings. II the sky
Is dull. SO is the airship. II the sky
Is blue. so is the airship.
The sides of the keel Of this new
airship are also rejecting mirrors.
and by an ingenious arrangement Of
them the darker shade reflected from
the earth is made lighter. The keel
will taper to a point. and thus there
will be no shadow on the bottom of
the airship. In fact, 1t will be like
color Of Its surroundings. In other
words, 1t will be invisible.
Baron Roenne's new terror OF the
skies vial be as large as the Olympic
The Olympic, II 1t could float In the
skies, would easily be detected at
height of four or FIVE miles, yet
Roenne's dirigible will be absolutely
invisible. even to telescopes, at dis.
tance Of less than a milel

Count Way de Vaya. lord abbot Of ST.

title Of THE Shephnrd of the Seas"
because he spends his llf., and wealth.

A man Of lowlier birth. and one bred

help those who are his equals and in.
Inmates.
Count de Vaya is one Of the richest
and one Of the most influential men in
Hungary. This wealth he is using to
help the poor emigrants from his coun-
try and from other countries, and he
has forsaken the ease and comforts
that his riches would bring to sail
with them on many troubled seas and
teach them how TO conduct themselves
in the new life they are to face.
AT home" he said. "the poor are
forever watched over by the parish
priest, who Is their spiritual father
He tells them how they shall conduct
their lives and listen and obey. Then
also there are the neighbors with
whom the peasant hopes to stand well
and to be respected. This environ.
ment helps him to lead a Christian
life, to be honest, Industrious and
strong to resist emptation. Then he
hears of brighter opportunities in
new land, and he sells all OF his little
possessions and sails away. Every
thing that has helped him in the past,
the teachings of the priest, the good
word Of old neighbors, the traditions
of his home, are swept away from him
and he finds himself on the sea with
nothing to do and an absolutely va.
cant mind, ready to be filled with any.
thing anyone cares to pour into it.
This is very trying period. All
his life he has been a worker. He has
toiled all day and at night there were
the family and friends to fill his mind.
Brt here, upon the deep. his mind
grows vagrant. 1t has nothing to an
chor 1t. Like the mind of little
child. 1t is very receptive. II evil is
poured into it. that evil may last as
long as he lives and be the controlling
influence of his life. But il it is good,
why, then he will be a good man as
long as he lives. Now. the work that
l am trying to do with all Of the gifts
that God has given me is to meet with
these poor people and to fill them with
the thoughts Of our creator, with the
duty We all owe to one another, and
with the peace that comes from good
and the torment that comes from evil
