The means prevailing at the present
time for the marking of sheep for the
.nurpose of Identification is unsatisfac-
tory for the reason that the coal tar OF
pitch solution which is made use Of has
n serious effect on the wool, not only
where the fhark has been made on the
hair. but all that which is being put
through the cleansing process at that
time. Such wool brings decreased

culture of France has been inHestigat-
ing the matter and the report of those
appointed to do the work contains the
following: 1t has been proposed to use
analine colors, but this is even worse,
since the colors do rot merely soil the

means are not lacking. notably that Of

Suns of the Milky Way.

Allied in Importance to the meas
urement of the distribution of bright
ness in the sky is the examination of
the kind of light which comes from the
stars which are the units of its bright
ness. A new attempt has been made
by Professor f. a. Faith to arrive at
what might be called the general char
acter the sum of the characters of the
light of the Milky Way. The general
result is 10 declare that this light, on
the whole, is nearest to the light shed
by the sun; and perhaps the 'conclu-
sion might he expressed in another
way by saying that If the whole of the
stars which compose the Milky Way
were to be seen by an astronomer on
some universe so distant from ours
that the whole of IL appeared no more
than one star or one spiral nebula-
then that this star or nebula would APP
pear to belong to the solar type of
star. This conclusion is, however
not in harmony With other and pre-
vious researches which have been car
ried out with regard to the light of the
stars. In the examination published
in the Harvard Annals some Years ago
Oh oZ,uOU stars II Was Saiu tii't iatiet
more than half were of what is known
as the A type, or white star. These
white stars, which have more helium
than the sun. are classed as younger
than the solar type of star 1t was
further declared that the helium type
increased as the brightness decreased.
and that the Milky Way had a larger
proportion of them than other portions
of the stellar universe. Perhaps in
either case the solar type of star may
be regarded as nearly middle aged in
the life of our universe London

DEMOCRATS IN CHARGE.

The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1913-02-20

Last week Washington and Lee
university, located at Lexington, Va,
became residuary legatee when the
will of Mr. Robert P Doremus, a
New York broker, was admitted to
probate. A communication to Pres
;dent H L Smith from Chas j Nc
Demott, Esq, of New York, repre-
senting the executors, stated that
the estate of Mr. Doremus was esti-
mated to be worth between one and
and two millions, but press dispatches
place the value at from two to five
millions. After making bequests
amounting to $16O,OOO, the residu-
ary estate is left as a trust fund to
Mrs Doremus, at whose death it
goes to Washington and Lee univer-
saty, or if that instution has ceased
to exist, to the University of Vir-
ginia, at Charlottesville, Va. Ap-
parently nothing was known of Mr.
Doremus by any OF the faculty OF
Washington and Lee or those of the
State most closely identified with
this great Southern institution, also
from the parenthetic sentence in the
will: "or if that institution has
ceased to exist" it would seem that
Mr. Doremus knew very little about
the Institution, which is one of the
strongest in the South, having al
ready an endowment of two millions
or more. In Virginia it is a matter
of speculation a to what interested
Mr. Doremus in behalf of Washing
ton and Lee university.

sions. 1t is believed the bill will
receive favorable action at the
hands of the Senate.
The House has agreed to establish
the John de la How Industrial school
for destitute children in Abbeville
county, between the towns of Abb
beville and Mccormick; an appro-
priation of 100000 is made for this
purpose. The State will thus take
advantage of a bequest made by DR.
John de la How in 1898, which COM
prised. l, 800 acres of land and a
sum Of money amounting to S25, 900.
A recent decision of the supreme
court removes all doubt as to the
availability of the de la How bequest
for the purposes provided.
The House will not consider the
big question of a State warehouse
system at this time. Wednesday
night the bill was continued until
next session. A similar bill is now
pending and caused extended debate
in the Senate. BRIAN BELL.

The Parcel Post.

While the merchants of the city
are not taking advantage of the par
GELS post the farmers are in some in
stances and they are finding it a
great aid to business. A certain
farmer, whose name shall not be
called because he would be so over
whelmed with orders that he could
not fill them and would be getting
after the paper for damages for put
ting the whole community on him,
is sending in the prettiest golden
yellow butter by parcel post and it
costs the consumer just thirty-three
cents delivered at his door. The
butter is thirty cents pound on the
farm. You know what you are pay
ing for it in the city and it costs six
cents to get two pounds intoFlorence.
The farmers wife makes a good
profit from the butter and the farm
stock are not taken out of the field
for a minute, and the consumer is
of course delighted. - Florence

A Good Turn Deserves Another.

Every farmer who takes paper
that admits advertising to its COL
umns, receives the equivalent. OF a
cash contribution, for were it not
for the advertising to help pay for
the cost of publishing the paper the
subscription price would necessarily
be two or three times as much. A
paper whose subscription price is 81
would at least be S6 if it had no ad-
vertising patronage, hence every
subscriber virtually get four dollars
from the advertisers. 1t follows,
then, that subscribers should have a
kindly feeling for the advertisers in
their paper, and give them the pre-
ference in the bestowal Of their pat
ronage, for the reason that one good
turn deserves another.

A SPECICUS APPEAL.


Former Senator Beveridge
made a specious plea, in New
Orleans, recently, for the per-
mansnt retirement of the re-
publican party. He argued that
the party had done its work and
now is a bar to that work, as
Napoleon was a bar to republi-
canism in France after he had
restored order following the
4volution. Born to democrat
ize land reform Europe, t h e
Little Corcican" finally became
a menace to that work, and had
to go.
Mr.. Beveridge finds a parallel
between careers of Napoleon
and of the republican party
which was horn, he says, to
save the union But Just at
this point, the Indiana states
man becomes absurd. He saws
the republican party never has
been and never can be truly
national because of the animosi-
ties engendered during the civil.
war.
If in performing its work of
pteserving the federal SOW
erignty, the party made itself
so Objectionable to the south
that the south never can fol-
give it, so much the worse for
the south. Certainly the record
of the republican party in the
civil war can offer no valid ex.
cuse for Its extinction.
But the republican party did
not stop with the preservation
of the union. 1t has had a great
history since the war. 1t has
championed other causes and
joined in other issues. II has
been the party Of sound money. |

At thirtyflve he thought he might
have done great things II his wife had
not been such a handicap.
At forty he believed he would have
been great man if his children had
hot made it necessary for him to cling

At fifty he was positive that there
WAS conspiracy agains; him on the
part of his fellow men.
At sixty he felt that if he could
have been thIrty-five again nothing
could have stopped him.
At seventy he began to believe that
he had failed because Of a lack of
courage and inability to make the
most of his opportunities.
At eighty he was almost sure of it.

sat down and began to write TO

item Of news of interest to them

So each day from Thanksgiv-
ing till Christmas he added
something to the letter, as lie
would in a diary, ending and
mailing it just in time to reach

this message:

SCANDALS THE CURRENCY BILL
WOULD END,

If the clearinghouse banks at
the national capital set out to
crush a certain trust company
which bad presumptuously in
vaded their fed, it vii not
have been the first time that a
clearinghouse association in
this land has done that thing.
IL the Secretary of the Treas
ury then diverted ST. 100000 Sof
the public money to bolster up
the situation and facilitate the
absorption of the trust company
by stronger concern, it will
have been only petty imitation
ofthe majestic performances of
the same kind which have gone
OH under previous Administra-
tions when Wall street was in
volved.
The net result is another and
powerful practical argument
for the enactment of the Cur
rency bill.
1t is time to end the arbitrary
and irresponsible powers of life
and death which clearinghouse
associations now hold over re-
lated banks, end often exercise.

or the temptation of mixing upl
