TWO TRUE BLUES

South Carolina has reason to be
proud of two sons who are somewhat
I'm the public eye at present, although
both are so modest as almost to be
maidenly. One Is DR.. Rupert Blue,
surgeon general OF the United States,
and the other Is Rear Admiral Victor
Blue. head of the navigation depart
ment OF the United States navy =
Dr.. Blue was the surgeon at the
port OF Norfolk during the jamestown
exposition and many South Car0lin-
fans met him then. modest, thought
ful, and cohsiderates gentleman, proud
to he known as a South Carolinian
and eager to do what he could to add
to the comfort and pleasure of the
South Carollnians whom he met. He
won distinction as the man who ran
the rats out OF San Francisco and
thus averted the serious and threat
ening danger from bubonic plague he
Ing brought in by rats on steamers
from foreign ports. DIR. Blue has
done other signal work in the inter-
ests of the health OF the country, but
that one achievement, when he acted
courageously and in a business-i.ke
manner made him the power that he
is today in medical and health SER
vice OF the country. (
Victor Blue. who has not heard Of
hing There was nothing spectacular
or theatrical or dashing about his
great service to t.1e country in the
war with Spain, but there is no doubt
that his exploit of riding a mule
around the Spanish army caused the
almost bloodlessi victory Of this conn
try over Spanish arms. Lieut.. Blue
rode around the army and mapped
its position SO carefully and SO exact
ly that General Shafter was enabled
to know how to move against the
weaker positions OF the enemy and to
crush Toral in one fght. The bat
tie Of santingo harbor was made a
great victory, also, because OF the

MIR Bp1AN RIGHT

When we get down into the heart
OF the Chautauqua spirit, we can see
why It is that William Jennings Bry-
an felt SO much pleasure in going out
on the chautauqua course last year.
It was because he wished to meet the
thinking, working, striving people, to
see their faces and TO talk with them
i In q saeneigghhorly way. From the colo
red reports OF the incident of last
year we gathered the Information that
Mr.. Bryan was running around over
the country aimlessly. Not 30. He
was gathering information which
,would-be useful 10 him or to any
other man who wished to serve his
country we'll
And by those who know we have
been informed that not one whit did
HIS official duties suffer from any
trips that he might have made. His
desk was kept as clean and he was
a. near UP to the present with his
work as any Secretary had ever been,
and he was great deal better off
with his work than most of them. He
has never let the work of the people
suffer when he was studying the
people and their needs and their
demands a.
