Actual Value 10 Yet to
Be Demonstrated.

Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons. and for the last
century there have been countless in
ventions for the carrying on of war
fare In a particularly destructive man.
ner. with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible thta it must soon pass away
from the face of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible contrivance was
invented and introduced into armies
and navies inventors Immediately
busted themselves by offsetting and
discounting Its probable effect Con-
sequently war not only has not passed
away, but We still have 1t with US.
Thus 1t Is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the worlds last con-
flagration, is found upon examination
to be false, and the end of war is not
yet arrived.
Trying Out Inventions.
In the present war in Europe there
are being tried under the conditions of
actual hostilities many improvements
and inventions that previously have
been tried only under laboratory con-
ditions. Their real worth will only be
discovered at the close of the conflict.
No army or navy engaged In the
present conflict in Europe but what is
possessed of nearly all of the modern
improvements made since 1870. The

tity In warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said 70 follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor In
deciding naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time 1t has done nothing to prove its
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect OF the submarine would be al.
most as important as its physical eff.
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas BY
submarine meeting submarine and de.
stroying each other But 1t has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re.
sort to the use of the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above ths
water, in order to see its own course
1t is known that the periscope Ia
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part Of
their boats.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon 1t being seen. 1t was
believed that 1t would go upon its way,
dealing death without observation. al
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles
But it has been discovered that from
certain height an observer may trace
the course Of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as If 1t was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine. and
they both are supposed to be armed ia
destroy the warship that moves like
fish.

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-

Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to Us.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices. But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick Of the rub
Der. They bought-before the ADVANCE $780,
600 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on thes way to US.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para, Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick

The fundamental basis of all philos

And we fail to attain the desire only
because we ere unable to make our
ideas coincide with things as they
actually exist This being true. then
In anemia we have the most general
and the most insidious and destruc.
tive foe to the attainment of mans
chief desire-happiness. For the
fundamental characteristic OF anemia
Is lassitude, weakness and impotence
-incapacity for happiness.
Examination Of every efficient steam
engine will disclose that the designer
and the construction engineers have
recognized the necessity of construct
ing the machine according to the re-
quirements Of natural physical laws.
and there will be found definite ra-
ito between the CRATE surface on which
the carbon fuel is burned, the boiler
surface by means OF which the water
is exposed to the heat Of combustion
and the cylinder area and stroke
through which the transformed po-
tential energy is delivered as dynamic
energy.

Our bodies. like other machines,
have definite capacity for trans
forming potential energy contained In
what we call food into dynamic en-
ergy. and there is not any great mar
gin, or, as the engineers call II, fac
tor OF safety. We work close TO our
capacity most Of the time. Therefore.
II we waste energy or II we do not
take in sufficient quantity of food Of
the right quality we fail to maintain
our physical energy balance. A steam
engine or a gasoline engine simply
stops when the fuel runs out, but the
human body cannot stop and live. De-
priyed OF necessary fuel the human
body begins to consume itself, and. of
course, the first to suffer Is the blood.
because it comes first within reach Of
the hungry cells.

Be Careful Now

In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom-the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being our prices are the
same as before the war We shall try to keep
them there
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears-the best
tires buiIt-are selling way below other tires

storage an almost record supply Of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about june prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers Is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much OF it had
been rejected But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance OF
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short OF
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.

MANNING SUPPORT LARGE.
From All Quarters Promises to Back
Him are Pouring In.

Columbia. Aug. 29.-Promise OF
support for Richard |. Manning, who
is in the second race with John G.
Richards for governor, came in to-
dav from. all sections of the State.
Late Yesterday Mendel L. Smith
wired from Camden that he would
do everything to elect his former op-
ponent.
James Cansler. the defeated rail-
road commissioner, announced from
his bed in a local hospital that he
would support Manning. The Man
ming leaders were busy in Columbia
this morning lining up the campaign
for the second primary on Septem-
ber s. His leaders are predicting
election by $4,000 majority.
John G. Richards has not been idle
since the result of the election was
announced. His friends are working
throughout the State.
The governor spent the day in his
Office and so far as is known here has
made no comment on the result of
the election.
Robert A. Cooper, the third man in
the race for governor, will issue a
statement next Tuesday after the
meeting of the State Democratic ex-
ecutive committee.
Reports from the Piedmont are to
the effect that Mr.. Manning is strong
with the farmers. He will have the
support. it is said, of DR.. John G.
Clinkscales, who was candidate for
governor. DR.. Clinkscales carried
Spartanburg by an overwhelming ma
jority.

MRS. GILMORE KILLED.
Fatality Results When Automobile
Collides With Train.

Union, Aug. 31.-Mrs. A. W. Gil
more, aged Sc years, the wife of a
leading farmer at Santuc, was killed
yesterday, and her son, Aubrey Gil
more, aged % years. was injured.
when the automobile in which
they were riding became unmanage-
able and crashed into the "Carolina
Special" at a crossing about half a
mile south OF Santuc. Three young
daughters of Mrs. Gilmore were
thrown from the car, which was ut
terly wrecked, but escaped with
minor injuries.
Mrs. Gilmore lived for thirty min
utes after the accident. She died in
the baggage car of the train while
it was in Union, the train having
been held here in order to secure
medical attention for the injured.
No physicians were on the train at
the time. of the accident but Miss
Katherine c. Magrath, of Charleston,
assistant surgeon at the Baker-Cralg
sanatorium, Offered her services and
rendered all assistance in her power
in attempting to save the life of Mrs.
Gilmore. She worked increasingly
with what rude bandages and imple-
ments could be devised, and was
warmly congratulated by the passen-
gers and crew of the train for her
efforts.
Aubrey Gilmore was taken to Spar
tanburg, where he was placed in a
hospital. 1t is believed that his in
juries are superficial. The young
man is a graduate of Clemson Col
lege of the class of this year.
Miss Lucy and Miss May Gilmore,
ages about 10 and u, respectively,
were slightly bruised. They were
left at Santuc in the care Of friends
The cause of the accident could
not be ascertained 1t was supposed
that Aubrey Gilmore. who was driv-
ing the car, lost control. and that
it dashed into the train. The auto
mobile struck the baggage car Of the
train, knocking off step.

from Woodrow Wilson, president of
the United States. Senator Smith
spent the day at his home near
Lynchburg, where he received many
letters and kilograms congratulating
him upon the vote in the primary.
Senator Thomas P. Gore, the blind
senator from Oklahoma, wired: "Ac-
cept my heartiest congratulations.
"Congratulations from all of your
associates" was the message received
from John w. Kern, Democratic lead
er in the senate and candidate for
vice president on the ticket with WILL

tor Kern visited South Carolina last
May, when he delivered an address
at Senator Smiths home town at
the exercises incident to the closing

FOUR PER CENT MONEY.
Orangeburg Farmers Pass Resolu-
tions as to Situation.

The following was adopted at re-
cent meeting of the Orangeburg
Farmers Union:
Whereas. the secretary of the
treasury has placed in the various
banks of the South and West, the
sum of thirty-four million dollars to
aid in moving the crops. and,
Whereas. the president of the
United States has promised to place
at the disposal of these banks, should
it be needed, the sum of five hum
dred million dollars to enable the
farmers of the country to hold and
warehouse their crops until normal
conditions return to the business
world, and,
Whereas, the rate of interest to be
charged these banks for the use Of
this, the peoples money, is to be at
the rate of two per cent.
Now, therefore,
Be it resolved, that we, Orange
burg county Farmers Union, in con-
vention assembled, do hereby call up
on our representatives in congress
to use their influence with the gov
ernment at Washington and to aid
us in our efforts to procure for the
farmers a rate of interest not to
exceed four per cent.
And be it further resolved,
That unless the banks to whom
this money is issued agree to furnish
this money to the farmers on the
basis above mentioned, we cannot
help but feel that our government is
not of the people and for the people.
And be it further
Resolved, that we, the Farmers
Union of Orangeburg county, wish TO
be understood that if our govern
ment loans this money to the said
banks at the rate of two per cent. as
we understand that it is going to DO
and should the said banks continue
the policy of last season and charge
the farmers eight per cent. interest
for loans on their crops, We feel that
the government is not for the farm
er but against him.
Resolved. that it is the sense of
this Union that the government of
the United States in this crisis adopt
some rule of taking over present
warehouses and building new ware
houses to be supervised, directed,
and protected by the United States
government and that if the banks
will not lend the government loaned
money at four per cent. then that
the government use it's best efforts
to arrange to loan direct to the
grower of cotton on cotton put in
the government controlled ware
houses.

DEPRESSED SPIRITS
Everyone Has it Within
His Power to be Happy

A celebrated French physician has
said that "a mans liver is the barom-

Every man and every woman
knows that the cheerful smile is

Everyone should know that the dis

and dozens of other ills.
But the inactive liver always warns
by coated tongue, sour stomach, dull
eye and even laziness. Heed your
warning and you insure happiness

THIS PHONE ACTS QUICKLY.
Betulander Connects One With His
Party" in Four Seconds.

On the top floor of the Marconi Of
fees there was demonstration re-
Gently of the Betulander, the latest
invention for automatic telephoning
The drawback of the demonstration
was that there was hardly anything
to see except the winking of electric
lights on a neat board built up of re-
lays. and sort of culver that ran
along the mechanism when the cum
ming current was finding the right
number-"like wind in the corn
as a fanciful observer said.
This absence of the spectacular is
of course, part of the merit, for, the
claim the invention makes is that it
is simpler and does away with the
elaborate movements necessary in
the older kinds of automatic tele-
phones. In the system which the
postofice is trying at EPSON, for in
stance, the actual work CT connect
ing the subscriber with his number
is done by an uncanny electro-me-
chanical selector, sort of arm
which can be seen feeling about over
the board, making contacts in the
manner of "discriminative crus-
tacean looking for its prey"
The Betulander has nothing so
amusing. There are no mechanical
devices other than relays making
and breaking contacts and CORE
spending to the hands and brain of
the operator searching for lines.
These relay units, the thinking
part of the machine. having made
one connection, at once set about
making others, saving in the eX-
pense of the plant. The point that
interests the telephone user is the
claim that it puts you through with
out any bother-within four Sec
on6s.
The subscriber starts the apparat-
us by indicating the number on a
dial or by pulling levers, the relays
do the connecting and ringing up.
All automatic telephones, of course,
Danish the operator, and this one
can make as many connections in
one minute as a hard working girl
can make in an hour. The human
element is more ruthlessly cut out
than ever.-New York Sun.
