The prevailing idea of the time Is to
make everything as pleasant as pos
sible for the children. And the prn-
ciple seems almost unquestionable. II
would seem little short of barbarous
to he otherwise. But some good things
are spoiled by overriding, and it may be
that We are OVERRIDING the attempt to
make everything pleasant and agree.
able for the rising generation. In the
home, in the school and in church our
whole study may be to please the child
and make the way easy. But when
the household pet passes into the bust
ness world, the way is not made easy,
Grim difficulties confront it on every
hand, ana nothing but pluck, patience
and perseverance will overcome them
But the child that has always been en-
tertained and helped along an easy
way is not likely to possess these i'm
portanu qualities. There Is no surer
way of making anarchists than To pet
and pamper the rising generation until
it. must take care of Itself.

FAMOUS LIGHTHOUSE
Rays of Karachi Light Can Be Seen
so Miles Away

Karachi, India, September 6.-(Special)
The Manora lighthouse, which is situated
on the Manora headland on the west side
of the harbor, is one of the most interest
ing sights for the visitor to Karachi, by
reason of the fact that it carries the most
powerful light east of Suez, and, indeed,
one Of the most powerful in the world.
The lighthouse was first erected in 1877
on the point of the Manora headland, but
was moved back in 1889 to its present po-
stlon, which is about 400 yards from the
point. 1t was Originally a stationary light,
btu was converted in 1907 to single-fash
revolving light of 100000 candle power,
having frequency of 10 seconds, that is,
the light is exhibited for 2ta seconds in
every 10 seconds.
The elevation of the light above sea
level is 15o feet, and it's range of direct
visibility is Is miles on the water line, and
q miles at height of 80 feet above the
water line, or roughly, the height of a
ships bridge above the water. But the
range of visibility of the ray thrown out
tance. On dark nights. when the atmos-
phere is perfectly clear. it can be seen
from so to 60 miles outside Karachi.
The lamp in use is a modified form of
the Kitson lamp, burning the ordinary
kerosene oil, and its burner diameter is
only three inches, surprisingly small
burner considering the intensity and bril-
liancy of the light. 1t stands in the
center o fthe lens chamber, exactly oppo-
site the center of four huge compound
lenses, which revolve around 1t, making
one complete revolution In 40 seconds The
circular frame which holds the lenses
rests in a bath. of mercury, thus reduc-
ing friction to a minimum, and is pro-
PEELED by means of compressed air.
Each compound lens is made up of 81
circular prismatic lenses, split up into
sections to allow of setting, and these are
so arranged that the light from the lamp
is directed outward in parallel rays.
which combine and for ma single broad
shaft of intense light. No light Is visible
to the outside observer, until any one of
the four lenses is exactly facing him, so
nately obscuring and exhibiting the light,
but by directing it's rays.
second lighthouse is in course of con-
struction on Cape Nome, 10 miles distant
from Karachi, and 1t Is expected to be
completed shortly. In order to distin-
guish it from the Manora light it will be
arrange dto emit a double flash every 10
seconds. This light will be of great as
sistance to ships approaching Karachi,
especially durin gthe monsoon, when the
atmosphere is often very hazy at night.
1t is being built in response to strong
representations from snips' captains and
others during the past few years. and the
port trust will shortly add lightship to
the Khai mouth of the River Indus.

Lights Blamed for Ill-Temper

London, September 6-(Special.) THE
theory advanced by Prof. L. r. Cravath,
the American scientist who has made
a study of the methods of dighting pri-
vate residences and their effect on the
occupants. has attracted attention in Lon

otherwise ideal home, though the actual
cause of the discord had never struck
them before.
Putting the professors theory to a
well known West End physician, his an

but that color is not liked by many be-

KELTON NEWS LETTER.

The weather is very hot now and
the showers of rain have been very
partial. Some sections have had
good rains and others only sprinkles
and where no rain has fallen in sew
eral weeks, all crops are suffering
and the gardens have dried up.
News is scarce on the Ridge. The
good women are having hard time
in finding something to cook. There
is not much sickness on the Ridge
just now. DR.. Wheeler, of Clarendon
county is now located at Kelton and
is prepared to render quick service
to any one who is sick. He has an
up-to-date automobile which enables
him to give prompt service and he is
boarding at Mr.. David Porter's.

Ward 6.
The race for police commissioner
attracted great interest as upon the
outcome depended, to some extent,
the future policy of the city police
department. Under the present ad-
ministration the lid is on tight and
some of the candidates of the board
of police commissioners were oppos-
ed to the straightjacket.
w. T. Bull, a compromise candi-
date, is elected on the first ballot. E..
E. johnson, an uncommitted candi-
date, was also elected. A second race
for the third commissioner to be
elected will be run between c.. F.
Grandy and j. c. Mccall, the latter
firm advocate of the lid. The two
hold over candidates of the board of
police commissioners have taken a
leading part in ridding Greenville of
the blind tiger element.
Between the morality candidates
there was no ISSUE except of men.

that for the time being, though his
innocence is admitted by all. This
is what he prayed:
"Oh Lord, you knows everything
what has been and will be. You
knows Pse poor innocent niger.
You knows, o Lord, dat I'se been
locked up in dis hear Jail sence April,
all summer long, all though de wa
termelon season. And, o Lord, I
hasn't tasted a watermelon dis year!
Please, Lord, if you can't git me out
OF here, den send me jes' one ripe,
red watermelon"
Thus poor Newt Lee wrestled with
his soul in the night hours. Who can
say that the Lord did not hear his
humble and fervent plea. Somebody
heard it, for word crept out from the
Jail to the solicitor generals Office,
and thence to kind-hearted Atlanta
lady, who has arranged to send Newt
Lee this morning the finest, ripest,'
reddest watermelon that money can
buy.
He is not to know where it came
from. He will believe the Lord sent
it, and in the long miserable summer
he has spent, prisoner though in
nocent, there will be at east one
bright hour.
