MARRY ON SIS A WEEK,
MAYOR FITZGERALD URGES
Better Than Waiting For Man to Get
"piIe"-LOt Depends on The
Girl One Selects.
the Shrew.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 4.-Mayor Fitz-
gerald says SIS a week is sufficient
salary on which young man can start
married life. The mayor, who married
young, said today:
I'D rather see young fellow mar
ry on $15 a week than hold aloof from
marriage until too late in life It's a
great deal better for young couple
to struggle along together and have
their home and their little family than
it is to live singly until the man has
gathered a pile.
Whether a man should attempt 10
start home on wage of SIS a week
depends very much on the girl a man
marries If she's the right sort of o
girl, not filled with artificial pride, AMI
willing to start moderately and pro-
gNess gradually-as her mother or her
grandmother did--the man has not
much to worry about"

Greeley, Col, Feb 4.--"Half of the

nations capitol there are 1900 who
are underfed The very foundations Of
the government are threatened"
This statement was made today by
Or. Harvey w. Wiley before an audi

food for the muscles and the mind"
DR.. Wiley told how to make enough
breawfast food from pint of wheat to

a cost of cent and quarter a day.

MRS. WILSON'S IDEA
OF WIFE'S DUTIES
Should Stay Home With
Children

Since Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is TO
become the first lady of the land,
all her ideas about anything and ev-
erything have become of interest to
the public.
Particularly interesting is her idea
of woman's sphere, and her little talk
abaut her place as the wife of Wood
row Wilson Mrs. Wilson says
There is nothing that so much sup
ports and strengthens a man burden
ed with the cares of public life as to
be relieved of all anxiety concerning
his domestic and social relations.
First of all, every man, great or
small, needs home-a pleasant COM
Portable home, where he can RESI-,
sheltered from the conflicts and cares
of the world.
Then he wants to know that his
children are receivig the constant
care and nurture that only true and
good mother can give.
81 have always felt that no amount
of publis cervice can ever atone in the
life of a wife and mother for careless
ness and neglect in these fundamental
matters. These are primarily fom-
ans world, her sphere.
and so, while my children were
little, | just stayed at home and took
care of them. Not that l did OF even at
that time take an interest in all that
my husband was doing. We have al
ways found time to talk things over,
and both of us have received strength
and help in our work by these little
! home conferences.
Mr. Wilson has told me often that
/ help him most by makig it possible
for him to avoid becoming the rut-
bound politician and economist. l have
| learned that a woman can serve her
husband better than by understanding
the work which can satisfactorily 1t
performed by moderate-priced clerk
or secretary. "-Exchang

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

l hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff OF Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested US to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty .here all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr.. J,
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

Will ATLANTA HAVE
new DAILY PAPER ?
Atlanta American is Being
Planned

Atlanta, Feb. Atlanta is to have
new eight-page morning daily paper
e be known as the Atlanta American,
the initial number to be issued about
March Is.
Accordig to prospectus now being
circulated, Bernard Sutler is to be ed
itor-in-chief, and A. B. Caldwell bust

some length 1t sets up that Atlanta
is large enough now to support two
daily morning papers, and the infer
ence is drawn that the city stands in

OPPOSITION had newspapers to fight the
scheme Once the services of the Al
lanta Star, a small afternoon paper,
were enlisted, and on another occasion
a weekly was started for this sole pur-
pose and was ably edited by B. NJ.
Blackburn.
Accompanying the prospectus, solic-
iting subscriptions to the stock, the
capital being placed at $4,000, is a
typewriter slip, containing number
of names, with the statement that
these are some favorable to the en-
tcrprise." The fact that in this list
there are several VINO were among the
most vigorous opponents of charter re-
vision in the past, lends some coloc

OLD HOME WEEK AND COUNCIL.

VAST majority Of the people Of Wilmington and
"A thousands who live outside our city regret
keenly that City Council has manifested such an in
different attitude toward the Old Home Week ceebra-
tlon that the week of merry making planned 'or pub
lie enjoyment month has been postponed perhaps

express themselves unequivocally favor of the ap-
proposition. The sentiment is Overwhelmingly sup

toward making the demonstration the success it de-
serves to be.
Everyone appreciates the hesitanoy OF our Council
in making the appropriation They desire 10 make
as good financial showing possible at the end
OF the current nscal year Ihey realize that the eX-
penditre of $500 for Old Home Week purposes will
reduce their showing oorrespondngly They do not
wish to be criticized later for something they may
do in the way Of spending the public money for
few days of public revelry. Their fears

that one employing so many does armor-

When the Chamber Of Commerce organized It
was announced that of It's chief missions would
be to obtain new industries for Wilmington. Not much
in that line was looked for the first year. AS that
year is drawing TO a close, however, quite naturally
those interested in the progress of the Chamber are
looking for practical results along that line We
have nc doubt that those who directing the actyi
ties of tho Chamber are doing their utmost to make
good in that respect The announcement in relation
TO the armor plate plant would seem to indicate that
they arc going after things that really worth while
and that they have strong hope of getting them
There is no valid why city should not
have many more large plants than It possesses We
are on tide water Three railroads pass through

labor situation would adjust itself to the demand for

its efforts to obtain such plants, matter what they

regulations for the ceremony of the
Order Of st. Michael and St. George.
which took place when the chapel in
ST. Paul's first was used for the an
nual services of the order. On that
occasion, il is believed that the pres
ent Lord Aberdeen was the only
Knight Grand Cross to wear the cor
rect head-dress with the mantle, all
the others appearing with the mantle
alone worn over the ordinary uni
form.
The twentieth century in Britain
is seeing some remarkably effective
revivals. and the King himself is re-
spOnsible for some Of the best among
them. The two professions of the
Knights Of the Garter in June. 1911.
one on the day of the ceremony Of
the investiture of the Prince of
Wales at Windsor. and the other, FIVE
days later. the investiture of the
Prince at Carnavon. also the cere-
mony of the Order of the Thistle i'm
its new chapel at Edinburgh, all we're
commendable instances of the return
toward the older ideals, which at one
time animated such ceremonial as
semblies. Il is interesting to re-
mark the slow return of a corporate
spirit to bodies of men, which for
many years past has been considered
merely as alphabetical groups of
varying personal distinction.
On the Continent a number Of or
ders prescribe some sort Of a habit
in their statutes. some of them be-
ing comparatively modern. The older
associations Of knights, as rule.
have complete costume. The less
ancient often are content with spec
flying the type of hat and mantle
to be worn by their members; while
Others have a uniform Of modern cut
instead Of medieval imitation or
survival. The only knights who hab-
iMally wear any part of their pre-
scribed apparel in the daily life are
the professed knights Of the Order of
the Hospital of st. John of Jerusa-
lem 0<nights of Malta who. when
living in community, as in Rome. don
the mantle before going into the
chapel. much as a gown is assumed
for the same purpose in college. Most
Of the orders insist upon the wearing
OF their habit only upon peculiar fes-
tivals. others prescribe its adoption
for all great ceremonies.
The illustrated press, during th'
last few years, has famliarized the
public with the appearance of th'
Knights Of St. Hubert in Bavaria. o.

ders Of monastic origin in Spain, San
tiago, Alcantara. Calatrava, and Mon
