tnre shot down 10 below zero-cold-
er than it ever gets in Maryland, ex-
cept upon rare occasions. The cold
wave swept over the fruit growing
regions of Arizona and California,
and there are fens that the 1913
crops have been seriously injured
While an icy blast was sweeping

Another horrible accident occurred
in the Chesapeake Bay duriag the
week in whic two vessels collided
and as result fourteen lives we're
lest. 1t il said That much fog spr sad
over the bay at tie time and it was
almost impossible for one to see the
other and The acci lent was due to
the fog which obscure one boat
from the other more than anything
else.
Such accidents as this have occur
ed frequently of late and there
ought she some way t, put a stop
t, it. One way at least would 90 a
long ways iowa ds prevention Of
accidents duiing a 70. would be the
prohibition Of a-y bat leaving its
moorings during Jog. These ac-
cidents are becoming too frequent
for the public safety and welfare
and some stringest methods should
be adopted to prevent Their.
1t is not so much the damage that is
done one vessel by the other that the
public objects to but to the great loss
Of life hat results from such acct
dents In the case of this acciden.
there are two children left homeless
and parentless. Both of their par
ents were victims of the accident and
the children hsve no relatives ia this
country. Their nearest relative liv-
ing resides in England. 1t seems that
fourteen lives have been crushed
out without right Of reason.
An investigation and searching
ons should be made and the respon-
sibility fixed and the proper au,hori-
ties should make the proper meas
ures to prevent further accidents to
life and property on the high seas.
The eontinuour occurring of such ac-
cidents is appalling to the public and
some radical steps towards pseven-
ton OF them should be taken at once
without fear or favor to anyone.

The first gun, that opens the war
Of The Express Companies against
Parcels post, that becomes business
fact, n new department or system
CD New Years Day, was fred from
San Diego, California, about Christ
mas; and demonstrates what we have
commended for years, that the Ex-
press combine is controlled from the
caverns of hign finance.
Some few weeks ago, a San Diego
California prune grower, sore be-
cause Of the terrible Express charges
advised the Post-ofice Department,
that he proposed to ship two car
loads Of prunes, by parcels post lie
expected to ship in eight-pound
boxes, and the Express rate was held
sterniy at ninety-six cents box
The Express Company heard Of this
letter. and the day after Christmas
reduced the rate to thirty-six cents
and mysterious threatenings are re-
echoed from the general transporia-
lion camps Of avengers, that they can
soon kill the parcels post system; aud
that it will cost only few million &c
reduce prices so mnch that they will
get the business, aud The government
will drop the @bantline,n and leave
the business to the ~legitimate,
transportation lines.
They seem TO think that Uncle
San, or his Congressman, will he
willing to yield to philosophers Of
high fnance,w ho have for years man
ipulated much Of the law making and
court application Of law, and fad
abundant reason to repeal or cripple
this law, so the Express concerns
may again have the field and rob the
people as they please.
This is just the tine for the ship
per and consumer to stand by the
government in its fight on these giant
vampires. Everybody ought TO SCI d
their goods, if posi- l., by parcels
posi-; and refuse - buy the goods
shipped by Express atany p'ice.

ECONOMY COMMISSION.

President Taft was the first chief
executive to place the subject of ma
tional economy in the hands Of a com
prehensise commission with full pow
er for investigation and recommen
dation. His aim was 10 increase eff
tieiency and theaeby to reduce cost.
CONGRESS- has already had submitted
to il reports for consolidation Of ser
vices. the doing away with some
daplicative machinery and the rele-
gatlon Of useless mechanism, as we'll
as the doubling up Of tbs work of
bureaus.
Congress and the country cannot
fail to scrutinize the former recon-
mendations, together with the fresh
mes made, without seeirg the utiii-
ty and feasibility # entering upon
the pruning OF federal services so as
to effect wide saving and increase Of
efficiency.
The moneys spent in tieir Econo
my Commission work has been wise
ly spent ard as suit thus far il
may be estimated that as fruits Of the
expenditure Of less than third of a
million Of dollars the country has the
way pointed out for the saving #
millions Of dollars annually. Surely
Recommendations Of the President
is this regard must commend them
selves to all economical legislators as
they do the country at large.

Some Of the leading spirits and
Lords Of their party destruction, in
fallible in all things and successful in
nothing, save in the misuse ofhoard-
ed wealth, suggest, now, that Roose-
welt could not wreck history by be-
ing President for three terms, dis
organize the government by induc-
ton into its management the widest
kind Of political heresles for which
their idol stood, that tie Bull Moose
Party, their mushroom inspiration,
for their party can cleyerly b called
nothing more or less, get together
and form new party under new
name. We decry any such move
ment. For one we are not ready to
desert the old party. There is no
reason for il; there is no sense in 80
doing. The principles of the grand
old party are still safe and sound.
From its very birth the nation took
Oh new life aud Logan to progress,
and it is still progressing under the
present policies Of he party, SO why
a changer It's useless to 60 back,
as its past history is known to every
informed person, and its present
policies are fragrant and fresh III the
mind Of every citizen Of the nation
of thought. Are we to etlograde
by dispelling good things to chase
ghosts? Is it common sense TO give
up and abandon that we know to
be good that the senseless sensibilities
of a party, and the idiocyncrasies Of
a portion Of blind humanity, may be
softened and spared tie humiliation
of apoligizing by returning 20 the
fold Of the party they have sense
lessly deserted. We think not. We
are of the opinion that the Republi-
can party has not outlived its use
fulness; its policies are still beneficial
if practically observed, and will still
further advance the nations good
So like toe boy aon the burning deck"
as at present advised, we prefer re-
mainingl at our post even when all
but us have deserted.
Great conditions 10 national life
bring great men to the front. The
momentous question of new nation
made the Washington. The free
dom Of unfortunate and Inundated
humanity made the great Lincoln
but no condition in any portion Of
the human family exists today to call
from ordinary obscurity an ordinary
man from private life, such a man as
Roosevelt to lead them into new and
untried pathways and the sooner he
and his dangerous policies Of govern
ment are forgotten the better for the
nation.

The warming Of State Comptroller !
Harrington in his recent report t
the Governor to the effect that pru-
dence demands that NJ additional en-
lneements Of the state debt be made
in the near future is probably not
meant to be regarded as an alarm
cry. Prudence in the han1licg Of
the business affairs Of the common
wealth is always in order, but, even
with the floating Of the various BIZ
stats road loans comparative show
ing Of state debt burdens would not
seem to indicate that this state has
beeu plunging reckless y into debt.
T Comptroller's report shows
that after deducting the sinking fund
securities and other counterbalancing
assests the present debts OF TIE state
is s5,sS26, 25s9S. The taxable basis
Of 1912 is stated as 1919, 309,976,
and the state tax rite for the same
year as 81 cents on the 500 Of as
sesSed vail e. There is a very con-
siderable increase in the tax rate, but
this Is idersto ID to arise mainly
from certain special appropriations
made by the last legislature.
As to state debts, recently issued
compendium covering The Jear 1912,
indicates that Massachusetts, upon
reality basis, assessed at full values,
1902, 791, oil is carrying cross
floating debt Of S116,234162. Con-
necticut, with reali y assessment Of
1896, s0l,502, is carrying a bonded
debt OF s7,053,100. Alabama upon
an assessment Of S239,S21, 765 carries
debt Of S9,057,0 900. There are many
states which are maintaining polly
of not going i to which haze
no bonded loans but such
states either have unusual sperial
sources Of revenue or else impose
high annual tax rate. There are
certsiu Obligations which concern the
welfare Of all the people which pro-
gressive commonwealth cannot avoid.

HILARIOUS GIVING IN AFRICA

Dr.. Green of Ogbomoso, in a recent
letter, tells this interesting story of a
free will offering:
All our work at Oghomoso is NOV
ing well. At one of our Ogbomoso
churches we raised at one service al
o $120 toward the new church
building we hope to begin this dry
season. This was raised last Sunday
morning, and was a red letter day in
the history of the church for a vol
untary offering. No promises to be
collected later at a decreased value,
but hard cash was what the members
brought. 1t reached the stage of hilari-
GUS giving Small boys and girls
would leave their seats and go to thtir
parents asking for something to con
tribute and they did not ask in vain,
either. This makes $500 we have rails
ed in and around Ogbomoso towards
this new church building"

last spring by Mrs. Parker of Spar
tanburg, was not long in making itself
known to the people of Hendersonville
and community, the quality of her mil
linery, fancy work, toys, novelties,
etc., soon winning a place in the heart
of the purchasing public. Mrs. Parker
also conducts the large Quality shop i'll
Spartanburg and her experiences have
made it possible for her to know what
it takes to satisfy customers. She has
endeavored to give satisfaction and
make her business all hat the name of
the place implies. The holiday an

tanned in the current issue of the
