POLITICAL REVOLUTIONS.
They Average One Each Eightsen or
Twenty Years.

1t is the history of the people or
South Carolina that they run amuck
polictically just about every eighteen
or twenty years. We are subject to
political revolutions and they come
with regularity.
It began about 1917 when William
Smith of Yorkville was elected Unl-
ted States senator in spite of the op-
position of Charleston and the Epls-
copal church. 1t is hard for us IN
the present day to understand just
what revolution this was. Then came
John C. Calhoun, who, after making
a great speech in Charleston in op-
position to notification, turned
around and espoused the cause and
set not only the state but the whole
country by the ears. The nulllhca-
ton madness was followed by seces-
sion in December, 1860. Then, after
the great war, we had the revolution
of 1875. Then in 1892 we had what
is now known as Tillmanism, and
this was followed eighteen years
later by Blease and Bleaseism.
We are not discussing the causes
or merits of these various upheaVals.
Some, at least, were righteous and
necessary; others perhaps were not.
But the point we are making is
that these revolutions come along
periodically. We have had them
regularly in the past and we will
have them in the future. We do not
know what will be the cause or ex-
cuse for the next one, but it will
be due in about fifteen of sixteen
years and many of us will live to see
it.
And ambitious young men starting
out in life might begin to get ready
for it even now. BY starting now to
keep in touch and sympathy with the
people they may when the psychology
ical moment comes pitch in and lead
the movement instead of having to
follow it. The right kind of men,
by starting now, may be able to use
the next popular wave to ad-
vantage not only for themselves but
for the public. Some of our up
heavals in the past have been largely
destructive; looking back and study
ing them we can see that they
brought harm rather than good. 1t
is to be hoped that the next wave
which is bound to come, will be
constructive rather than destructive,
that it will be led by good men, and
that it will carry the people forward
and not backward. 1t is to this end
that we would inspire the ambition
of the young men of today.-Ander.

Does this pullet belong to Mrs.

"No, indeed, it don't sir" she re-

woman.
Does this pullet belong to Mrs.
Smith,"
1T certainly does not" the second
woman replied.

Another smallest engine in the

smallest engine that has yet been
built, but it is too small to be run
with steam and must be run with
compressed air, because steam is too
heavy for it's needle point parts. The

and is so small that it will not cover

NEW SUMNER UNIFORMS.

Commissioner Newman said that
bids soon would be called for to supply
the police with summer uniforms. The
new uniforms will have a strikingly
military appearance as the trousers
are to be striped like the uniforms of
the army. For the patrolmen on foot
the stripes will be light blue, similar
to that which designates the infantry
in the army, and the mounted police
will have cavalry yellow stripes. The
uniforms will be single-breasted, and
made of summer serge, light and cool.
Instead of the present device on the
cap or helmet each will carry the seal
OF the city, and each will wear a chev.
ron with the seal of the city as an en-
blem. The chevrons of the mounted
men will carry a horses head. and
that OF the motorcycle squad will be
wheel. Bids for the new uniform are
to be opened Feb. 10.

FORCE OF NEGROES TO WORK ON
lEVEE.

In view of the approaching high wa
ter, 5. F. Lewis, engineer of the Or
leans Levee Board, has issued instruc-
lions TO ID. J. Brown, inspector for the
Algiers levees, to employ an extra
force o. eight negroes in addition OF
the nine white men now carried on the
day force, to dig bitches at the base of
the levees to get them in shape to take
care of seepage. The negroes are to
be posted from the cutoff road in Al.
giers to the parish line of Plaque
mines and F. w. Gleason, at present
Inspector for the Stanton TO Beka lie.
wee, which is under construction, will
be taken from there and placed as
foreman over the force.
The regular white force of the board
will be used for ditching and repairing
the levees from the cutoff road to the
upper limits of Algiers.
Engineer Lewis explained Wednes-
day that the reason for employing ne.
groeS in the lower stretch was because
much of the country is swampy and
the roads leading there are more or
less inaccessible. 1t would be disa-
greeable and difficult for white men 10

While the negroes could be drawn from
nearby plantations.
Instructions also were issued to the
inspectors of all levees in Orleans par
ish to prohibit riding or driving and
the roaming of cattle on the levees
from now on. Cattle found on the le-
wees are to be promptly impounded.
according to his orders.
