Should Stay in School.

Every year thousands of boys and
girls drop out of school before their
education is completed. Distaste for
study is largely responsible, so also
is the wish on their own point, or
that Of their parents, to be earning
something. In almost every instance
it is mistake. For the sake Of
lesser benefit they are not willing to
wait and learn more that would en-
able them to get a greater and NOSE
lasting benefit. The skilled hand
the man that knows his business-is
worth half a dozen unskilled, incom-
petent hands. The great trouble
with boys who leave school before
they have gone through ali its de-
partments is that they seldom rise to
anything above errand and office
boys, and it is much the same with
girls. There are exceptions, Of course,
but statistics prove that for the in
competent or uninformed boy the
outlook is far from bright. He does
not rise, while the boy whose school
ing makes him proficient, or puts him
In the way of becoming proficient,
outdistances him almost every time,
and that in itself discourages him
from making strenuous effort to rise.

LARGE SUMS ARE SPENT
Sugar Man Says Senators Are Mostly
His Friends.

Henry T. Oxnard, the millionaire
vice president Of the American Beet
Sugar Company, testified Saturday
before the Senate lobby committee.
that he estimated that he had spent
$4,000 a year in Washington for
the last twenty-three years in behalf
of the beet sugar industry.
He declared not a cent had been
spent illegally. Each year when he
was at his home in Washington. he
declared, he came to the capital tc
watch legislation and see his friends
among the Senators. Senator reed
demanded that the witness give the
names of Senators who were his
friends.
"Most all of the Senators" replied
Mr.. Oxnard.
"You need not include me in that
list" declared Senator Reed.
"Well, call Senator Overman one
Of my friends and Senator Cummins
there and don't know so much
about Senator Nelson" said the wit
ness.
Senator Overman promptly asked
Mr.. OXnard if he had ever called up
on him at his Office or house, or if he
had ever attended Mr. Oxnard's en-
tertainments.
Mr.. Oxnard replied in the mega
tive.

Sest Man for the Place.

The Newberry Herald and News, a
loyal supporter of Gov. Blease, takes
issue with him in his attitude to-
wards Dr.. J. W. Babcock, and pays
a compliment to DR.. Babcock, who is
without a doubt the equal of a2y
other man engaged in the care of the
insane, and for this fact should be
allowed to remain superintendent of
South Carolina's Hospital for the In
sane as long as he cares for the po-
sition. The Herald and News arti-
Gle is as follows:
1--WE do not know what the atti-
tude Of the governor is in the mat
ter, but we are sure it would be a
mistake for him to make change in
the superintendent at the asylum.
DR.. Babcock has had long experience
in the work and is greatly interested
in it, and stands today at the head
amongst the superintendent Of SIM
liar institutions in the Unied States,
and is so recognized We don't be-
lieve that better or more competent
man could be found for the position
and We see no reason for a change"
No doubt DR.. Babcock's greatest
offence in the eys's of the powers
that be is that he was appointed by
Senator Tillman when he was COVER
nor and is a good friend Of that gen.
tleman DR.. Babcock has had many
years training and experience In
looking after the unfortunates who
are sent to the institution over which
he has presided so ably for years,
and their sakes be should not be dis
turbed Politics should be kept out
of our charite BILE institutions.

Fielder q Slick Article.

Whatever may be our private opin-
ion of the gentleman, we are COM
PEELED to admit that it is beginning
to be apparent to the innocent by
standers of whom there are few
still left in Atlanta, that Colonel
Thomas B. Fielder is either innocent
Of the charges brought against him,
or that he is shrewder than the
gang who brought the charges.
Whether from superior virtue or
superior wit, Col. Fielder is beginning
to get visibly the best of it. This
doesn't merely mean that he can out
cuss and out write detective Chief
Langford. 1t is more than talk. The
gong has sounded at the end of the
first round and Mr.. Fielder has retir-
ed to his corner with the points in
his favor.
The first one Mr.. Fielder put over
was the affidavit from the Gentry
boy saying that-the stenographic re-
port of the dictagraph conversation
had been tampered with, and that
part of it had been faxed, as Fielder
charged.
The next thing he put over was
in calling the bluff of the police de-
partment which had talked about ar
resting him for attempted bribery.
They planned the arrest it is said.
but lost their nerve at the critical
moment.
And the last thing he put over
was when the grand jury formally re-
turned a no bill against him, clear
ing him if the charges made by De-
tective Lanford that Mr.. Fielder car
ried a pistol and had tried to draw
it on him.

False View of Life

The man vho refused to do any
thing for posterity because, so he
said, "posterity had done nothing for
him." and the old man who would
not plant a tree where one was need
ed because he would not live to see
it become a large tree affording
greatful shade, took a very narrow
and false view Of life. The truth
is we owe many Of cur blessings to
people who lived before US, and men
walk under and delight in the beauty
and shade Of trees that thoughtful
men planted in former days. And
that fact Is generally recognized, and
if there are people so selfish that
will do nothing for the benefit of
future generations there are far
more people so greatful and SO gen.
erous and wise that they delight
to do things that will prove a bless
ing to folks gho came after them.

The Scholar in Politics.

Prof. John G. ClinkScaleS, Of Wof-
ford College, is being urged by hun
dreds Of men from all over the State
to make the race for Governor, and
he has concluded to do so. Now
comes a call for another member of
the faculty of Wofford College to en-
ter politics and serve his city as
Mayor. The Spartanburg Journal
says DR.. D. D. Wallace, professor of
history and economics in Wofford
College, is one of the most likely
men to be called by mass meeting
of citizens to select man to offer
himself for the position.
The Journal quotes Spartanburg
citizen, who is interested in the pro-
posed mass meeting, as saying of DR..
Wallace that he is peculiarly fitted
for the Office in that he is student
of politics and one who is not entan-
gled in affiliations with concerns
which are prey upon city govern
ment. "Dr. Wallace" the citizen
continued, "is a man who has the
backbone to stand for that which is
right, regardless of who it hurts. 3"
Such man any city would be fortu-
nate in having at its head, says The
Journal.
There is no question about the
ability and fitness of DR.. Wallace for
the position. Spartanburg would
have in him a Mayor she could be
proud Of. But, as The Greenville
Piedmont says, we fear no such good
luck can come to the city, as 1t Is
almost impossible to get men like
Dr.. Wallace to mix up in ward poll
tics. DR.. Wallace, like Woodrow
Wilson, understands thoroughly our
theory Of government, and he would
make and admirable administrator
of any Office that he could be induced
to accept, but he Is engaged in a
grander and nobler work than hold
Ing office, and we do not believe he
would lay it down.

forget that it is only four months to

very encouraging interviews as to

WANTS THE BABIES SAVED.
Nation Will be Taught How to- Grow
Young Americans.

Warning every community in the
nation that the great death rate Of
babies is due to diseases which to a
large extent are preventable the chill
dren's bureau Of the department Of
labor has prepared compilation of
the steps which variously up-to-date
citizens are taking to protect child
life and will circulate it in a national
campaign of diffusing.
In wards of such cities as New
York and. Philadelphia, where sys-
tematic summer baby saving cam
paigns were undertaken, the death
rate of infants decreased between 80
and 40 per cent. A baby nursed by
it's mother, the children's bureau de-
clares, has approximately ten times
the chances to live that bottle fed
baby has.
The bulletin describes various md-
nicipal and philanthropic activities
in the direction of child welfare,
such as inspection Of milk supply,
municipal milk dispensing stations,
baby clinics, visiting nurses, instruc-
ton Of mothers, and the destruction
of the death distributing fly.

At Savannah, Ga, DR.. Guy o.
Brickley, prominent young physl-
clan Of that city, was shot and killed
Monday afternoon by Mrs. Eugene
H. Whisnant, formerly Miss Katie
kittles, who then turned her weapon,
a S2-calibre Colt automatic revolver
on herself, falling dead across the
dead body of DR. Brinkley, with bull
let in her brain.
The young woman, who was Wild
ow, went to the office Of DR. Brinkley,
accompanied by a woman companion
whose name has not been ascertained.
Mrs Whisnant and the doctor went in
to the private office and the other wo-
man remained in the outer office,
leaving hastily when the shooting
began.
A few minutes after Dr. Brinkley
and Mrs Whisnant entered the office,
the firing began and the door opened
and DR. Brinkley rushed out, followed
by Mrs Whisnant, who, was steadily
firing upon him. DR.. Brinkley called
to a maid servant to get the police
and the woman ran for help.
Meantime Mrs. Whisnant pursued
the doctor to the porch and back in
to the office, firing upon him all the
time. Her sixth shot entered the ply
sician's heart, causing death. With
out a moments delay the woman
turned upon herself and fred a bull
let into her temple causing instant
death.
Dr. Brinkley was a Virginian COM

His slayer was about 81 or2S years
old, slim, with dark, brown eyes and

was i'll with typhoid fever, from which
he afterward died. Since then she has

GUESTS AT, A SUICIDE
THEY GRAVELY SMOKED AS HE
FIRED FATAL SHOT.
Six Cinnamon Sat Around and Saw
Saw One of Their Number Take
His Own life.

Arrested at Atlantic City, N. j.,
for murder Wednesday six Cinnamon
sedately shook their heads and said
calmly that not by the Rising Sun
had they any hand in the death by
bullet wound in the head of Ho Why
laundry proprietor.
But this was trancendently true
they had been the guests of privilege
at Ho Why's suicide party They had
as by the honorable custom ordain-
ed in the writings of Confucius sat
and watched their brother kill him
self-"honorably." they said, shot
himself in the head and 'honorably"
die.
There are other, older Chinese
methods that he might have used.
There was the exit Of the silken cord
and there was the noble method of
the golden disc. They were amused
at the police chief Of Atlantic City
and his detectives standing around
him, had never heard of the method
of the golden disc One took a thin
disc of gold and placed it on his
tongue A swift intake of breath and
the disc slipped swiftly back and
closed his windpipe and that was
the end, a most honorable end, much
used by mandarins
Ho Why had been in this country
twenty years. He had done much
over the wash tubs-twenty years Of
hard work He had sent much mon
ey to China to the glorifcation Of
his ancestors, the aid Of his rela-
tives and the support OF the revolu-
ton. But he had coughed great
deal, he had become woefully thin
and he knew that his revered ances-
tors awaited his coming. And also
he had been a failure; he had no son.
Ho Why had carefully. drawn the
curtains Of his shop window facing
on the street. The friends greeted
him with smiles and went into the
rear room. Ho Why acted as host at
a formal but pleasant dinner-a din
ner in which the pink-tinted dishes
Of Anhwet were complemented by
chopsticks of ivory.
After they had feasted Ho Why
arose and laid down his fan. He
went to a little cabinet in the rear
of the room. And when he turned
from it, he BODYBUILDING now the
revolver of the shining barrel.
His friends were lighting pipes
with long thick bamboo stems and
tiny silver bowls. They watched him
serenely as he placed himself quiet
rigidly upon stool.
Ho Why put the revolver muzzle
against his right temple. His friends
removed the pipe stems from their
lips expectantly. The shot was fired
His friends watched him sink in
death; looked at one another; nod
ded, puffed again and then Shu Nan
got up and caught Ho Why's corpse
lest it should fall to the floor.

way in from the street and arrested
the guests Of the suicide party, but
when the six Chainamen had quietly
expla' ed they were released.

WAS STRUCK BY TRAIN
WHITE MAN MEETS HORRIBLE
FATE NEAR AIKEN
Shoulder Is Crushed to Pieces, Hole
III the Skull and Fracture at Base

Shoulder Is Crushed to Pieces, Hole
in the Skull and Fracture at Base
of Brain.
With his left shoulder crushed lit
orally to pieces and fearful hole IN
his skull, crushed bone particles and
pieces of a felt hat resting against
the brain, Joe Maroney, a35-year-old
white man, residing at Oakwood, IN
Aiken county, was found early Tues
day morning in an unconscious con-
dition beside the Southern Railroad
tracks, about six miles east of Aiken
and one mile east CT Montmorenci.
The wounded man was brought to
Aiken and all day local physicians
labored faithfully to preserve his
life. The bone particles and ha. felt
resting on the brain surface were re-
moved successfully, when it became
apparent that he man had also suf-
fered a fracture at the base of the
brain. For this there was no rene
dy, and he died about 6 o'clock Tues
day afternoon.
The physical facts in the case, the
position Of the body, the location OF
the wounds and the train schedules
make it appear that he was sitting
evidently on cross-tie, jutting from
the track, and that the so-called
midnight train" from Augusta,
passing about 12.45 at night, struck
him and knocked him off.
1t has been stated by reliable par
ties that Maroney was seen in Aiken
Monday afternoon, under the influ-
ence of alcohol, if not actually intoxi-
Gated. From infancy the dead man
had been subjected, it is declared, to
periods Of partial blindness. The cor
oner's inquest was begun Tuesday
night, but continued in view of the
absence Of some persons deemed ma
terial witnesses.

WATER SUGAR STOCK.
4 Trust Magnate Makes an Honest
Confession as Witness.

Henry L. Oxnard, known as the
father Of the beet industry snd
vice president of the Americi2n Beet
Sugar company, was principal witness
Monday before the Senate lobby in
vestigating committee. He was
on the stand for several hours and
proved an entertaining witness. He
told the committee how New York
bankers, who helped to organize
the beet sugar company, insisted up
on putting in about s15,o00,po5
water" in about s20,g10.000 cor
poration; how how he and them had
made about a million by the Sale OF
this watered stock and gave warning
that the Underwood bill with its free
sugar provision would result, in the
formation of a new "Sugar Trust,
which would not violate the anti
trust law.

Going to Make Mistake.

developments Of the last week at
both ends Of the capitol have indi-
Gated a growing determination on
the part of Democratic leaders of
congress to pass tariff bill and wind
up the work Of the extra session with
out action upon currency reform, or
any other important subject. This
will be mistake.
