Using the Watch as compass.-The
watch Is often used to give the COM
pass point exactly. Thus: Point the
hour hand to the sun; then, In the
morning, half way between the hour
hand and noon Is due south. If after
noon, one must reckon half way back
ward.
Thus, at 8 o'clock in the morning
point the hour hand to the sun and
reckon half way to noon; the south Is
at 10. II at 4 in the afternoon, point
the hour hand at the sun and reckon
back half way. The south Is al
2 o'clock.
The half way" is because the sur
makes a course of twenty-four hours
and the clock of but twelve. If we hac
rational timepiece Of twenty-foul
hours, it would fit in much better WITH
all nature, and with the hour hane
pointed to the sun would make l:
o'clock noon always south.
If you cannot see the sun, get into
clear, open space, hold your knife
point upright on your watch dial, anc
it will cast a faint shadow, showing
where the sun really is unless th'
clouds are very heavy.-"Boy Scout!

CASE OF c. p. SIMS
Peoples Bess to bs Excused and Hen
ry viii Prosecute.


Attorney General Peoples in let
ter to the supreme court last Tuesday,
asked to be excused from acting az
prosecuting attorney In disbarment
proceedings brought against c. P,
Sims, the Spartanburg attorney.
Following the receipt Of the letter
from the attorney general, Chief JUS
tice Gary appointed ]. K. Henry, So
licitor Of the Sixth judicial district, to
act as prosecuting attorney. Solicitor
Henry was present in the court and
will act In the case.
It was announced by the court ION
account of the gravity Of the charges
and the Importance Of the conse-
quences both to the respondent and to
the bar of the state, the case would
not be heard until after the election
and qualification of the fifth member
Of the court"
The following letter was addressed
to Chief Justice Gary, OF the supreme
court, by Thomas H. Peoples, attorney
general:
"I am in receipt Of your request
through Mr.. Dominick, the assistant
attorney general, that this office take
charge of the prosecution in a certain
proceeding pending In the supreme
court, entitled, 'Ex parte. 8. G. Fin
ley, petitioner in re c. P. Sims un-
less for any reason l should desire to
be excused from complying with the
request.
IN response to this request, ! would
respectfully submit that this proceed
ing has been filed without any notice
or consultation whatsoever with my
office and without an opportunity be-
ing given me to make any preliminary
examination into the matter before the
proceedings were brought, so that
| might determine the manner ano
| method Of bringing the charges to be
made. Such proceedings are most Sc.
rious and far-reaching in their con-
sequences, and / certainly do not de-
sire to be placed in the position oi
standing sponsor for such proceedings
unless, after a full and thorough ex.
| animation on my part all Of the facts
and circumstances in the case,
should be satisfied of the business anc
propriety of the proceedings.
Insofar as the present proceeding:
are concerned, 1 have been Informed
of certain facts and circumstances II
connection with the same which
would cause me to ask to be excused
from taking any part in the proceed
ings as the case stands at present. Al
though these facts and circumstance
referred to have nothing to do witt
the final determination of the proceed
ings. I do not think that it would b.
proper for me to refer to them in de
tail as the proceedings are now pend
ing in this honorable court.
MY office stands ready and willlnl
at all times to render any service t
YOU and the court that is in its powe
to render; but, under all Of the cir
cumstances in the present matter, /
respectfully asks to be excused from
undertaking the prosecution Of tn
within mentioned proceedings

sistence on the point was of itself
suspicious, but eagerness to protect
her dulled his wits.
Know anything about Gilder?"
Burke demanded.
"Not g thing" was the earnest an
swer.
The innner door opened, and Mary
Turner entered the office. Carson with
difficulty suppressed the cry Of dis
tress that rose to his lips. For a few
moments the silence was unbroken.
Then presently Burke by a gesture
directed the girl to advance toward
the center Of the room. AS she
obeyed he himself went little to-
ward the door, and when 1t opened
again and Dick Glider appeared he
interposed to check the young mans
rush forward as his gaze fell on his
bride, who stood regarding him with
sad eyes.
Then, while still that curious, dy-
manic silence endured, Cassidy came
DrlSKly into the oInce.
"Say. chief" the detective said
rapidly, they've squealed."
"Squealed, Ell? Do they tell the
same story?" And when the de-
tective had answered in the affirma-
tive, he went on speaking in tones
ponderous with self complacency.
"I was right, then, after all right
all the time. Good enough" OF a
sudden his voice doomed somberly
Mary Turner, I want you for the
murder Of
Garson's rush halted the sentence.
He leaped forward, His face was
rigid. He broke the inspectors
words with a gesture of fury His
voice came In a hiss:

ridor. And with the detective went
Imam whose gait was sinking, craven
A cell door swung open, the prisoner
stepped within, the door changed to-
the bolts shot into their sockets nois-
lily.
Carson sat huddled, stricken-for
he had recognized the victim thrust
into the cell before his eyes. 1t was
Dacey, one of his own cronies in crime
l-Dacey, who, the night before, had
seen him kill Eddie Griggs. There was
something concretely sinister to Gar
son in this fact of Dacey's presence
there in the cell.
OF a sudden the forger cried out
raucously:
"Say inspector, If you've got any
thing on me, II would"-The cry
dropped into unintelligible numb
lings.
Burke retained his manner OF serene
indifference to the others agitation.
Still, his pen hurried over the paper
and he did not trouble to look up as
he expostulated, half banteringly.
| "Now, now! What's the matter
with you, Joe? 1 told you that l
wanted to ask you few questions.
That's all"
But after a moment, Garson's emo
tions forced him to another appeal.
| Say, inspector"-he began.
Then, abruptly, he was silent, MS
mouth still open to utter the words
that were now held back by horror.
Again he saw the detective walking
forward, out there in the corridor.
And with him, as before, was sec
ond figure, which advanced sinking
ly.
| Again the door swung wide, the
prisoner slipped within, the door
changed shut, the bolts clattereo
noisily into their sockets.
| And, in the watcher, terror grew
for he had seen the face of Chicago
Red, another of his pals, another who
had seen him kill Griggs. At last ne
licked the dry lips, and his voice
broke in a throaty whisper.
Say, inspector, If you've got any
thing against me, why
who said there was anything
against you, Joe?" Burke rejoined, in
q voice that was genially chiding.
whats the matter with you today
IJoe? You seem nervous" Still, the
official kept on with his writing.
mo, 1 amt nervous" Carson cried,
with a feverish effort to appear calm.
why, what makes you think that?
But this amt exactly the place you d
pick out as a pleasant one to spend
the morning" He was silent for q
little, trying with all his strength to
regain his self-control but with small
success.
Burke believed that his opportunity
was come. His hard slipped into the
pocket where was the pistol, and
clutched it. He stared at Carson
fercely, and spoke with rush Of the
words:
"Why did you kill Eddie Griggs?"
"I didn't kill him." The reply was
quick enough, but it came weakly.
Again, Carson was forced to wet his
lips with a dry tongue, and to swal-
low painfully. Il tell you, / didn't
kill him" he repeated at last, with
more force.
You killed him last night-with
this!" Burke cried, viciously. On the
instant, the pistol leaped into view,
pointed straight at Carson. "Why?
the Inspector shouted. Come on
now! Why?"
"I didn't, I tell you!" Carson was
growing stronger, since at last the
crisis was upon him. He got to his
feet with 1.-the swiftness Of movement

Antitrust Laws,

Turn from the farm to the world OF
business which centers In the city and
in the factory, and l think that all
thoughtful observers will agree that
the immediate service we owe the
business communities of the country
is to prevent private monopoly more
effectually than 1t has yet been pre-
vented l think it will be easily agreed
that we should let the Sherman anti
trust law stand, unaltered, as 1t is,
with its debatable ground about 1t,
but that we should as much as possi-
BILE reduce the area of that debatable
ground by further and more explicit
legislation; and should also supple
ment that great act by legislation
which will not only clarity 1t but also
facilitate its administration and make
II fairer to all concerned. No doubt
we shall all wish, and the country will
expect, this to be the central subject
of our deliberations during the present
session; but 1t Is a subject so many
sided and so deserving Of careful and
discriminating discussion that / shall
take the liberty Of addressing you
upon it in a special message at a later
date than this. 1t is Of capital impor-
tance that the business men of this
country should be relieved Of all un-
certainties Of law with regard to their
enterprises and investments and q
clear path indicated which they car
travel without anxiety. 1t is as i'm
portant that they should be relieved
of embarrassment and set free tc

Work Is a Privilege
By Ebert HUBBARD

"A NY person, in any walk OF
~ life, who puts jealousy,
hate and fear out of his
life will be distinguished, All
good things shall be his. They
will flow to him.
Power gravitates to the man
who can use it; and love is the
highest form of power that ex-
lists
If ever a man shall live who has
infinite power, he will be found
to be one who has infinite love.
The way to free yourself from
discord is not to take a grip on
yourself and strive to be kind
not that. Just don't think much
about it, but lose yourself In your
work. If your intent is right,
your action will be also.
He'll and heaven are not locali-
ties-they are states of mind.
Once we thought work curse,
then it came to us that it was
necessary evil: and yesterday the
truth dawned upon us that it is a
precious privilege. There ls more
joy in useful effort than in the
painstaking avoidance of it.
Creeping into the lives of men
everywhere is the thought that
cooperation is better than COM
petition. We need each other. and
