JUDGE JOHN N. HOOK DEAD.
Venerable Magistrate at Clemson
Succumbs to Long Illness.

Clemson College, Aug. 27.-After
a lingering illness Judge John N.
Hook, secretary Of the South Caro-
lima experiment station and justice
of the Clemson College corporation,
died at his home here yesterday
morning at o'clock.
Judge Hook had been in failing
health for about year and was con-
fined to his bed in his final illness
early in July. He had just passed
his Goth birthday. He was born in
Orangeburg county August 23, 1914.
He was educated in the schools of
his county and was prepared for the
sophomore class of the State Univer-
Sity at the Fall Branch Academy of
T. J. P. Walsh, a Dublin University
graduate and we'll known teacher
but entered the Confederate army
instead and served in the Second
South Carolina Volunteer Artillery
He was in several battles, was once
wounded and was among those sur
rendered by Gen. Johnston at Green's
boro, N. c., April 26, 1865. After
the war he devoted himself to farm
ing, but found time to do considera-
BILE literary and historical study and
became a widely read, we'll informed,
scholarly man. He was a speaker
Of force and eloquence and did ef-
fective work on the stump in the
campaign OF 76. In 1898 he was
elected secretary and librarian Of
the South Carolina experiment sta
tion and judicial officer OF the Glenn
son College corporation, and in this
! capacity he served efficiently until
his death.
Judge Hook was twice married,
first in 1865 to Miss Susan M. Pou,
who died in 1891, and the second
time to Miss r. e. Miller. He has
five living children, all by his first
marriage. Two of them, John H.
Hook and Wm N. Hook, are gradu-
aces of Clemson College. The others
are Mrs. l.. A. Burckmyer, Of Angus
ia, and Misses Julia and Sue Hook,
OF Clemson College. All OF these
sons and daughters had been at his
bedside for several weeks.
The funeral services were con-

LENT SEASON or PENANcE.

Rt Rev. Thomas j. Conaty, bishop
of the Catholic diocese Of Monterey
and Los Angeles, says that Lent is a
season Of prayer and penance sN is
established by the church as prep.
GRAFTON for the holy days OF Easter.
The word Lent is an old Anglo
Saxon word and means spring, and
gives its name to the fast appointed
by the church In the spr,ngtime of
the year. It is known also in the
Latin as Quadragesima, which means
fortfeth. thus indicating the number
of days during which the fast CON
tinues. This also recalls to us the
forty days during which our divine
Savior tasted In the desert. The
Lenten fast dates back to the be-
ginnings of the church and is clearly
mentioned In the councils. 1t bears
upon it the character OF apostolic
foundation, for the apostles com
manded that the feast of Easter be
preceded by fast, In order thus to-
prepare the soul for the great bless
ings of the Easter day.
Under the Jewish dispensation In
the old law, there are many evidences
CT the prophets proclaiming fast
and calling the people to do penance
for their sins. The prophet Jonas
saved Nineveh from the wrath of God
by fasting and prayers which he pre-
scribed for the people. The great
public preparation for the coming
OF Christ was the preaching Of st.
John the Baptist in the desert, when
he appealed to the people to do
renance and be baptized. Christ him
self gave the lesson of penance, and
practiced in his own person the pri-
vations which penance demanded.
The holy season Of Lent in the
mind of the church Is a time for
meditation and prayer. It gives OPP
portunity for the solemn considera-
tion of the great truths OF saliva
ton, that we may awaken to the
true sense of our duty to God, realize
the Nervousness OF sin, and seek for
the means of forgiveness which
Christ has established.
We need to be aroused from the
lethargy into which worldly life leads
US, and 1t is well that we find OPP
Eortunity to reflect upon the spir-
itual and the eternal We are SO
busy with the pleasures and joys of
life. with social and business de-
mands, that we are apt to forget the
important duty OF life, that of know
Ing and loving and serving God.

and portents of the present day I'M.
noticed by many point to equally Inn
portant changes in the future. But
the question remains what will
these changes be?
Wall Street Must Yield.
About the only point on which
there seems to be anything like
agreement in that Wall street must
yield up some of its great power. In
some cases this may come through
legislation; in others through natur-
al commercial causes. AS an illus.
tration OF the former is cited the eff
feet OF possible banking and cur.
rency reform laws to rout from its
lair the so-called none trust. Or
the latter sort this city is now seeing
concrete example in the case of The
sharp reduction in the price of sugar
which is forced on the trust by tho
arrival here for the first time Of west
ern grown beet sugar. Ever since
the first refinery was built here on
Wall street. itself, nearly two hum
dred years ago, the industry has been
typical of Wall street. More and
more strongly intrenched as time
wen. by it became an industry CON
corning which the whole country
practically had to take Wall streets
word as law. But after nearly two
centuries Wall stree. is now seeing
this supreme power wrested from II.
American grown beet sugar has for
the first time reached the eastern
seaboard, and at such prices that
Wall street has seen at least two of
the trust rehneries temporarily clos
ed and others running a. no profit,
because of the drop in prices caused
by the arrival of our own home
grown sugar. Where Wall street has
dictated for years the west now has
the say, and it is the opinion of ex-
perts that with proper encourage.
ment the center of the sugar trade
may yet depart from Wall street to
establish itself in the Mississippi val
ley or further west. In sizing up
this situation and its possible effect
on the Wall stree. OF the future one
broker says:
The closing down OF two refiner
les in the neighborhood of New York
means great deal more than the
refineries would be willing to admit.
Though the closing was only temper
airy, 1t appears from the admissions
of the president of the sugar trust
that all the refineries must run with
out profit or even at a loss for sew
eral months Ii they are to meet this
competition OF home grown bee,
sugar and that they will have to con,
tinue to do so for some time at LEAST.
This years home grown beet sugar
crop is large. Some Of 1t has already
actually come into New York from
point as far distant as Colorado. 1t
is not likely that more will follow
this year, bat Ii the beet suga- IN
dustry grows for ten or fifteen years
more as It has been growing since
1900, then the center Of gravity .,
the sugar trade will lie out around
the great lakes, and not on the Allan
tic seaboard as at present The pos.
sibility Of such an event would now

SCHOOL DISEASES.

Children of school age contract
such diseases as measres, scarlet few,
er and diphtheTia much more FREE
quently than older persons. All that
has been learned about the modes of
transmission of certain diseases, no
tably diphtheria, indicates that the
taking of large number of children
out from their restricted family and
neighborhood relationships and bring
larger group will increase the oppor-
tunities for Infection AS regards op-
portunities for infection furnished
by the school, it must he admitted
that while the slate, the common
drinking cup and the roller-towel are
fast passing away, sufficient facilities
for the transfer of disease germs still
exist in the friendly exchange OF
pocket handkerchief, lip-moistened
lead pencils, chewing-gum and the
like. The school play ground, as well
as the school room, must be consid-
cred in its bearing on the subject OF
school diseases. The significance Of
school attendance on the public
health side lies not only in the as
sembling of children in a room, but
also in the bringing into more or less
intimate association a number of
children who would otherwise not
have net at all. Increasing the num-
Der of associates must necessarily in
crease the chances OF Infection. Diph-
liberia and scarlet fever show mark
ed increase IN the autumn when the
schools open and an equally definite
decrease IN the summer when the
schools are closed.
The discovery OF the part played
by the healthy geym-carrier throws
light on the probable origin of certain
obscure cases OF infection, says Prof.
z. @. Jordan of the University Of
Chicago in n recent issue of The Jour
mai CT the American Medical Associa.

forced school closure are in genera
found to be less effective than the

Difficulties Of Travel In Early low

Difficulties OF Travel In Early lows.
Iowa roads are bad enough even at
the present day. but the conditions OF
travel We're even worse In the early
days when there were no roads at
all. In 1874 Captain James Allen led
an expedition up the valley of the
Des Moines river and on August 21sr
he made the following record in his
journal, which has been reprinted by
the State Historical Society of Iowa.
Made an early start, but found the
country SO wet and the sIoughs so
numerous. that our progress was
slow and difficult; the wagons, being
yet heavily loaded, cut deep into the
wet ground, and stuck fast in every
mire till pulled out by the main
strength Of the command; the men
were all the time muddy and wet,
and more fatigued than on any previ-
GUS day; about five in the afternoon,
while we were fast In mudhole,
there came a tremendous storm from
the north, with torrents Of rain;
and night and pitch darkness, with
rain, thunder and cold, found us three
