OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tobocco.

Another thing the visitors found out
while they were getting better ac-
quainted with Richmond was the fact
that, Notwithstanding all of the talk
they have heard about monopolies in
the tobacco business, Richmond is still
the centre of the earth, so far as the
manufacture OF the best Of tobacco is
concerned. They found here more big
factories of the independent kind than
they could find in any tobacco town of
the whole country. and all of them
make pipe smoking and plug chewing
tobaccos that surpass in quality, I'm
good weights and in other worthy ways
the products of any factories to be
found anywhere else in the whole
world.

The other % counties all have less
than 10 per cent, Charleston county
having only II per cent who cannot
write among native whites, or 221
white Illustrates among 9,SS8 native
and foreign voters. Among all the
voters in Charleston county, white
and colored, 23,519 in number, only
20 per cent white and colored, can
not write, which is not much greater
than the illiteracy of Chesterfield
among the whites alone.
Shall we wait until 60 years ex-
pire to have this reproach removed?
By that time, at the rate prevailing
for the last 10 years, the negro lille
eracy will have disappeared thor
oughly. The negro illiteracy is now
1877 per cen and the whites 1913
per cen The white %illiteracy in GO
years in the whole State Will be
about what it is among the whites of
Charleston county now if it decreases
not 2 per cen every 10 years, and
the negroes would have reached that
rate fully rs years before.
The optional law will allow those
counties to adopt it which feel that
the children ere not sent TO school
because the parents refuse to send
them, when opportunities are offered
for their education, and will allow
other counties where the law is not
needed, or where there are no facili-
ties, not to put it in force.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only M way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused
by an inflamed condition Of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have
a rumbiing sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
Gus surfaces.

The passage by the House of Rep
~resentatives almost unanimously of
the compulsory education bill is one
of the most hopeful signs Of the
awakening of the white people of
South Carolina to the fact that they
are falling behind the negroes of the
State in the educational race. Let us
all consider the following facts from
the advance bulletins of the thir-
teenth census, taken in 1910: e
There were the following number
of white voters in this State in that
year. Z
Whites, born in America, 159 5000.
Foreign born, 1855. .
Total white, 162,564. -
Of these there were no less than
the following who could not write:
Native white, 1889.
Foreign born, zoe.
Total i%lliterates, 1906.
Rather more than one white voter
in every ten in South Carolina, born
in the United States, two years ago
could not wjItc and only in every 16
born outside. This is a decrease
among the whites Of not 2 per cent
in the last ten years, while the ne-
Sroes have decreased their illiteracy
by II per cent.
Where is this illiteraey to be
found? Look at these figures. l

DIED ON THEIR POLAR TRIP.
Lieut.. MINIS and DIR. Merz Latest

Sydney. New South Wales Feb.
27.-Another was added to the list
of antarctic tragedies by the news
received here Of the death of two
members of the expedition COM
manded by DR.. Douglas Mawson. The
party left Tasmania in 1911, accom-
panied by a large body OF scientific
e to explore thoroughly the re-
gions around the southern magnetic
pole.
According to wireless dispatches
received here from Adele Land, via
MacQuarie Island, the two dead eX-
plorers are Lieut.. B. e. s. MINIS, an
Englishman, and DR.. Merz, a Swiss.
Lieut.. MINIS belonged to the ia
nous royal fusllliers regiment. He
was a close friend Of Capt. Lawrence
Oates, Of the Inniskilling Dragons,
who persisted while returning from
the South Pole with Scott. Lieut..
MINIS was killed by falling into a
crevasse nearly a year ago. He was
the expert Of the expedition on sur
veying and sledging.
Champion Ski Jumper Dead.
DR.. Merz was a prominent scientist
and sportsman. After winning the
ski jumping championship in Swift
erland in 1908, he offered his SER
vices to Dr.. Mawson. The cause of
his death was not stated in the wire
less message.
The expedition started out not
with any idea Of rushing to the South
Pole, but with the intention of eX-
ploring and naming the unknown
lands Of the antarctic and making
numerous observations around the
magnetic pole.
According to the wireless reports
received from DR.. Mawson, the prin-
cipal objects of the expedition were
attained.
Unfortunately DR.. Mawson and six
Of his companions, after they had
been picked up by the expeditions
ship Aurora, undertook another eX-
petition, and were unable to rejoin
the MP wnlCn was TO
leave them or spend another year in
the antarctic. The surviving men,
bers Of the expedition are all we'll.
To Name Land After King.
Melbourne, Australia, Feb. 27.-
Lord Denman, Governor General of
the Commonwealth of Australia, re-
ceiyed q wireless message from DR..
Mawson to-day, in which he says:
Our sledging season has been
very successful. We have opened up
a large area Of new land, both east
and west Of Commonwealth Bay. We
have obtained important new data
from numbers of stations in close
proximity cf the magnetic pole"
The new land discovered by Dr..
Mawson in the South polar regions
will be named King George V Land.
The explorer to-day sent a message
to the King, through Lord Denman,
asking his majesty's permission to
SO name the land. The territory lies
between Victoria Land and Adele
Land.
