Quarantine En-.

A number Of towns in North Caro-
lima have just been afflicted with the
so-called street carnivals. In most
cases these affairs have been voted q
public nuisance Of the first order. They
are unsanitary invasions from both
the physical and the moral standpoints
They leave no end of trash and lit
ter to be cleaned up behind them. The
values offered for the money received
are scarcely values at all, but mostly
false Drctencc. The public taste is be-
ing lifted above them, according to re-
ports from the country at large, by the
rapidly developing and improving
movie" entertainment. Seeing that
this latter form OF cheap entertain
mcnt is now available, 1t appears that
the wisest thing for our public authori-
tics hereafter to do would be to shut
Off carnival altogether.-S -Spartanburg

cere thanks first OF all for giving us
free transportation. Without this aid
on his part, we would not have been
able to make the trip Our young
people have unanimously reported
that the day was chock full Of Lau-
rens' superlative kindness. The first
, thing was the picture show and the
last thing was the picture show, and
in between were good catings and
good times. We noticed that the young
people brought back to the orphan
age flfty-two boxes Of good things to
eat! Even the little sick girl did not
escape the watchful eyes Of your peo-
pie. All Of the exercises were enjoy
ed, and our young people took their
places with keen appreciation OF the
opportunity thus given them. In ,ad-
'dition to thanking all your people for
their part in our entertainment, we
wish to make especial mention OF Miss

much to arrange this trip for our chill
dren. God bless every one OF you.

How Shaving Crialnated.

The comparative advantages and
propriety Of shaving the face and of
permitting the beard to grow are not
easy to determine. On the side Of
non-shaving 1t has been argued that
nature must have bestowed boards on
men for the purpose of being worn,
and that, as Tertulllan affirmed, 1t was
"blasphemy against the face to reject
1t altogether"

TILLMAN IN GREENYILLE,
Makes Comment on Political Affairs
and GrcenyilIe's Hospitality,

Greenvillc, April 1S.-"Artcr his long
and faithful service, if the Fourth dis
trict fails to return Representative
Johnson to congress, should consid-
er that the district had acted discrcd-
itably," said Senator b. r. Tillman
yesterday The senior senator is Wis
iting his sister, Mrs. Simpson and his
neicc, Mrs, J. b. Rasor He stopped
off at Greenvilc on his way from
Clemson College, where he attended
trustees meeting, to his duties at
Washington. Many friends called up
on Senator Tillman yesterday, and it
was during conversation with them
that he expressed his high regard for
Congressman Joseph r. Johnson.
johnson is one of the most con
scicntious and one of the hardest
workers in congress" said the sena-
tor, "and he is getting to be one OF
the most influential members Of that
body. | am not trying to run things
In this district, but want to say that
to my mind it would be disgrace
to turn down an honest and efficient
representative like Johnson"
The "Eaby Factory"
Senntor Tillman spoke highly of
the school fair, but criticised tho
lack Of attention showed by the city.
He said:
Il was very much gratifed to see
such fine exhibition Of children, but
| was very much disgusted to see how
shabbily the children were treated by
the city. There should have been
bands Of music for the children.
"Greenville boasts much of it's fac
tories. The only factory have OBJ
served which is worth mentioning is
the baby factory, and Greenyille
didn't know how to treat that one"
Senator Tillman spoke Of politics in
general, but did not make any
forecast Of the senatorial election.
He said the outcome OF the election
would be determined on the stump
next summer. The manner in which
the candidates conduct their cam
paigns, the stump speaking ability
OF each and the gencralship showed
will be a determining factor, said
Senator Tillman. He listened with
interest to discussions on the guber-
material race, but appeared especial
ly interested in the senatorial con-
test, and the contest in this congress
sional district.
The senator appears to be in good
health. 10 party Of friends yes
terday afternoon he told his now
famous health formula, and formu-
la for avoiding undue redundancy at
the belt line. Senator Tillman pays
strict attention to his diet. and Is
careful in other respects OF his health
His paunch reducing exercise consists
in lying In bed and kicking the head
board each morning. He said Senator
Overman, Of North Carolina, was a
convert Of his plan, but that the North |
Carolinian had not limbered up suf-
ficiently to be able to reach the head
board.
