heavy bowlder for one infinitesimal
second while Ned drew Elsie into the
seat beside him and buckled the safe
ty straps. While he was doing this
the wheels had rebounded from the
bowlder, and the machine glided for
ward, dipped down the sloping summit
and sailed of into space. There was a
sickening moment while the mOnoplane
steaded itself in midair and then slow
~. surely, safely. it made for the solid
earth below.
Richard bennett and Gustav yelled
themselves hoarse when they saw the
monoplane and its double burden
emerge from the pillows Of smoke and
settle slowly toward the grassy neld,
where a score Of ready hands laid hold
Of the machine and held 1t while Ned
lifted Elsie from the seat and carried
her to the automobile, where her father
was waiting with the tears streaming
down his cheeks.
Mr.. bennett kissed his daughter and
whispered something in her pink ear
Elsie blushed as her father pushed her
gently into Ned's arms.
'She's yours, Ned, my boy. You've
fairly won her, and-I want to ask you
to forgive me for what I said the other
night Wholesale groceries couldn't
save my girls life; 1t took the some
thing else that I never had. but you've
got It"
"Look!" cried Elsie suddenly, point
ing toward the mountain.
The wind had lifted the pail Of smoke
and swirled 1t aside 90 that the sum-
NIT was visible. The flames had caught
the stunted pines, and they blazed up
fiercely like a torch.
Mr.. bennett looked from his daugh-
ter and her lover. and he smiled sheep
ishly.
II expect I'm q sort Of mossback," he
said. my vision has been limited to
little, narrow aisles between rows Of
sugar barrels and piles Of cracker
boxes. Anything beyond that seemed
visionary and unreal.
1T took a flre that burned over Old
Mans Head and nearly cost my daugh-
ter's life to show me that I'm standing
still while men like Ned here are the
competitors in the race"
"I'm glad Ned h q victor" smiled
Elsie m~ischievously.
The eyes Of the two men met and ex-
changed q glance Of mutual under
standing.

Should Increase Pay.

Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia has
introduced a measure providing for an
increase in the salary of rural mail
carriers. The amount of the proposed
incre ase is S300per annum, which, ac-
cor ding to the author of the bill, should
be made SO as to provide for the mai :
tenance of horse and vehicle for car
rying the mails. This vast army Of
government employees who visit daily
the remote rural Businesses renders
faithful service and should receive am
pie compensation. Since the parcel
post law went into effect theSincome of
the post-ofice department has been
very materially increased and in the
,me proportion the work of the rural
carriers has grown. 1t is nothing out
just then that the salary of these men
should be increased. 1t is believed
that the measure introduced by Sena-
tor Smith will be passed.

Hon. John C. Sheppard the Elan.

The appointment Of Justice Charles
A. Woods as United States circuit
Judge leaves vacancy in the supreme
court of South Carolina to be filled by
the general assembly when it conyenes
n ext January. The friends of Ex-Gov.
John C. Sheppard are urging him to
low his name to be placed before the
legislature for the associate judge
ship.
Should he become an avowed aspi-
rant, it is believed that he will be cho-
sen by a fattering majority. Mr..
Sheppard's native ability, his thorough
knowledge of law and his judicial
mind, together with his long years Of
successful practice, eminently fit him
for the judicial ermine, and his eleva-
tion to the supreme bench would give
added dignity and prestige to this the
highest tribunal in South Carolina.
For the sake of the State, for the
sake of our county and for his sake
pc rsonally, The Advertiser will heart
lily concur in the efforts that will be
made to have Mr.. Sheppard succeed
Associate Justice Woods, and we shall
labor to that end confidently believing
that when the ballot is taken next
January the preponderance will be
overwhelmingly in favor of the man
whose distinguished service for South
Carolina entities him to further recog-
milton and reward.

Militancy q Failure.

revulsion of feeling that was bound to
come. London has grown tired of the

not the prevention of suffragette law

appear that the reign of militancy, if
not already over, is rapidly drawing to

acknowledgements Troubles.

The eyes of the entire country are
on California. AS a result of a crisis
which is on, the region along the Pa
cifc coast is not at this time in a very
pacific state Of mind. For several
years the question Of dealing with the
Yellow races, the japanese and Chi
nese, in California has become more
and more acute. In the hope that the
situation could be relieved, an effort is
being made in the California legisla-
lature to pass law prohibiting the
ownership of land or the rental of land
beyond a period of three years by
aliens. The administration in Wash
ington has been more inclined to favor
the Japenese than. have the people of
California, and for that reason there
has been grave apprehension at the
national capital lest too drastic meas
ure be enacted by the Californians. In
the hope that he could induce the gov
ernor and the law-making bodies of
Cal ifornia to pursue mean course,
Sec retary of State Bryan has gone to
the Pacific coast as the representative
of President Wilson to confer in per-
son with these leaders.
There are two sides to this question,
just as to every other question. Some
by using the stock argumene of
Estates rights" say California has q
right to legislate to meet the needs of
her people and should not brook any
interference by the federal authorities
leading to curtailing this right. On the
o ther hand, there are those who con-
tend that California Is part and par
eel of this commonwealth and that her
people have no right to enact law
which will be in conflict with existing
treaties and which may involve the
United States IN foreign war. There
is show of reason in all argument
that is advanced by both sides, and
therefore the proper course to pursue
is the constant counseling together be-
tween the state and national leaders,
just as Mr.. Bryan had in mind when he
p roposed to Governor Johnson that he
60 in person to California. Truly, in an
exigency like this, ''In the multitude
of counsellors there is safety" tor
the old Ship of State, at least.
We have great sympathy for the
Californians in their efforts to reach q
wise settlement of this trouble. At q
distance we are not capable of pass
ing judgment upon their actions any,
more than the northern people car
properly judge us in our dealings with
the colored people. Such questions
have to be considered in the light OF
local conditions, and those at long
range should not offer gratuitous ad-
vice about something of which they
know absolutely nothing.
