MET MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Columbia Lad Accidentally Cut ip
Unusual Manner.

Columbia, Aug. 25.-Little Roy
Henson, who lived on Lower street
near the Seaboard Air Line railway
trestle, is dead.
About s o'clock Saturday night
Roy's mother, Mrs. H. D. Henson.
had a can of tomatoes she wanted to
have opened for supper and she ask
ed Roy's uncle, William Malone. to
open the can for her. Mr.. Malone
opened the can with his pocket knife
and, having done so, placed the knife
with the blade upward in the breast
pocket of his shirt.
Roy, a youngster about 6 years
old, was very fond of his uncle, and
presently climbed up on his uncle's
lap and threw, his arms around his
uncles neck. When he had hugged
his uncle, Roy slipped down. In do
ing so he accidentally drew his arm
across the knife blade in Mr.. Ma
lone's pocket. Roy's arm was cut
deep. The brachial artery was sever
ed. A physician was called and
everything possible was done. But
the little fellow had lost too much
blood and died early yesterday MORN
ing.
Roy's uncle was greatly affected.
The funeral will be held this after
noon from the Henson home on Low
er street. Coroner Scott decided
that an inquest was not necessary
inasmuch as the death was an ac-
cident.

Man and Starched Collar

The papers report that league
has been formed to "emancipate man
from the starched collar.
Nonsense, Man does not need any
such emancipation, except on some
extra hot days in summer. and then
he emancipates himself.
There is more moral support, more
reinforcement of character, in a
,starched collar than can be had in
any other form for the same money.
The starched collar is the badge OF
European civilization. Asia never
developed it. Neither did Africa.
The Chinese have had civilization for
1000 years, but no starched collar.
1t has gone to the laundry.
The Hindoos are kind to animals
and a thoughtful people, but they
have never taken on starched collars.
Where are they now? Trying to
land in British Columbia, trying to
stay in South Africa, and Delng
shooed away by collar wearers.
The Persians are on the run. The
Japanese, the Ekeliest people in
Asia, when they accepted western
civilization, accepted starched collars
with both hands. The American
negroes wear the ta!lest and stiffest
to be had. There is hope for them.
The starched collar is the palladi-
um of responsibility. 1t is the token
of victory over self. Talk about
abolishing it is all hosh. Abolish
trousers if necessary; nations have
become great without them; but
stick to the collar and stick to the
starch.

buttons and tell me what they repre-
sent"

Columbia, Aug. 20.-The National
Currency Association of South Caro-

practically every national bank in the
State, were represented at the meet
ing at the Jefferson hotel, and 80
of the banks qualified as members
of the association Their applications
will be forwarded to Secretary Nc
Adoo at once for approval. The cap
ital and surplus represented by the
SO banks amount to something in eX

For technical reasons all of the
banks could not qualify yesterday,
but practically all are expected to
qualify today. If all qualify the total

Pope Passes Away.

Rome. Aug. 20.-Pope Plus X died
early this morning at the vatican.
The pontiff's death, which occurred
at 1:2O followed short illness,
which was a elimination of his OFT
repeated attacks of gouty catarrh,
which developed into acute broncial
trouble. The pontiffs illness was
directly brought on by grief over the
outbreak of the European war, which
has been a sore blow to the aged
pope.
Grief after the war in Europe
caused the pope much depression
from the first outbreak, and several
days ago symptoms appeared of the
old bronchial affection from which
the pontiff had suffered in times past.
On Tuesday DR.. Marchiafava AN
nounced that the pope was suffering
from simple cold and that possibly
complete rest for week would re-
store him to his usual health. The
bronchial condition spread, however,
and on Wednesday it was announced
that the pope's condition was serious.
A bulletin issued at 3 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon, signed by Drs.
Marchiafava and Amici, gave the fol-
lowing explanation:
The pope's condition grew worse
during the night. This was due to the
diffusion of the bronchitis to the low
er lobe of the left lung. Symptoms Of
heart weakness became so threaten
ing at 1890 o'clock this morning
that it was believed the pontiff's life
was endangered. At 1:30 p. m. the
symptoms we're slightly improved,
but still grave
DR.. Marchiafava was able to leave
the vatican for a time, owing 10 the
amelioration of symptoms. He said
that nothing early in the morning
had indicated the grave crisis which
had come on rapidly. Shortly after
DR.. Marchiafava left Dr.. Amici eX-
amined the patient. He explained
that the sudden collapse was due to
the pontiff's age and the equity al
fection, which always combine to give
bronchial catarrh of an acute nature
a most serious character.
DR.. Amici further explained that
the pontiff's diminished vitality,
caused by old age, might render his
illness fatal. The practice of living
in heated rooms and breathing the
yitiated atmosphere as the result OF
large assemblage in the papal apart
ments was against him and, he add
ed, the people would not understand
whv the attending physicians were
strongly opposed to the resumption
by the pope had much difficulty in
breathing. He suffered much from
headache and inability to rid himself
Of the accumulations in the lungs.
Stimulants were injected and oxygen
administered. Several times the pom
tiff revived and seemed much better.
He then would speak to those about
him and insist that his desires be en-
ecuted

A Drive Was Profitable.

While driving one day in Egypt
Lord Kitchener noticed an old man
in the street whom he recognized as
an acquaintance from the Sudan,
says London Tit-Bits. The Consul
General ordered the driver to stop
and invited the old man to take a
seat in the carriage. So the two
drove together through the town to
the place to which the Sudanese
wanted to go. y
A few days later the dark friend
of Lord Kitchener was seen horerlng
about the British agency. At last
an officer asked him what he wanted.
Il should so much like TO drive
out with Kitchener once more. the
old man replied.
"Why?" the officer asked.
You see" the Sudanese answered,
naively. after my friends and ac-
uuaintances SOW me sting at the
side of Lord Kitchener they came to
me one after the other. and from
one received five pounas, from an
other two pounds. from others one
pound. and forty pi2sters from the
very poorest. They all believe that
! could speak in their favor to FL
Lord. And" the old man added.

INTELLIGENT REST.
Consists Mainly in Variety of En-.
ployment.

Fortunate is the man who knows
how to rest. To know how to take a
vacation is not the least among the
gifts of the living. Herbert. Spencer
told us many years ago that we lived
too fast. Carlyle's man who sings at
his work is the exception. The man
who loves his labor works better, and,
other things equal. lives longer than
the man who worries with his work.
Honest work is stimulating mental
and physical exercise. Men die not
of overwork, but Of overworry. They
who live two days at time shorten
their lives.
Repose is not an American gift.
The quiet hour, like the calm sea,
is exceptional. Nobody can doubt
the physical and moral value Of the
stilled thunder. To be quiet some
times is to be more efficient. The
children in the kindergarten are
taught to be silent for period. ST.
lence is as great a gift as action. Old
Faithful, the geyser in the Yellow
stone, spouts for three-quarters of an
hour then rests. The pulse of the
blood is interspersed with life-giving
pauses
Rest is mental When the mind
wearies, the body relaxes. Drudgery
is mental monotony. The climate of
the mind loses its distinct seasons
when drudgery steals away vivacity,
and variety. Idleness is not rest, but
rust. A change of air refreshes the
whole man. What most people need
for a vacation is a new duty, not a
new climate. If you would rid your
self of an old trouble and escape from
CALLING condition. take up new
task. Inaction leads to atrophy. Rust
does as much harm as friction. There
is no reward for the idler whether he
be rich or poor. The lazy man is sell
dom an optimist.
Rest is more than mental; it is
spiritual. One cannot rest on bayo-
net points or Goals of fire. The sum-
mer peace of the soul is the basis for
the rest that gives life. Our Lord
never separated physical well-being
from spiritual conditions. He went
away to mountain and sea to replen-
ish his physical strength, but this
involved spiritual experience. A
tired body can never find rest while
in it RACES the restless fires of spir-
itual hell. The peace of God within
is the beginning of outward harmony.
Here is the secret of repose, and what
is repose but faith in things imper-
ishable? Repose is spiritual assur-
ance.
Good health begins in the heart.
The ozone of the sea may make the
blood tingle with new life, but. the
surf never reaches the spirit except
as a transient stimulant. The peace
full mind, like ship swinging to an
anchor dropped into the deeper sea,
is immune from the greater dangers.
When you go away on your vacation
take that feverish mind with you, and
the spirit that needs the divine sun
shine.-Philadelph Ledger.

The voters have one more primary,
and then we may settle down to busi-
ness once more. 1t is very unfor-
tunate that strife and factionalism
has invaded the State to the extent
that it has, and we trust that the peo-
pie will become united, so that they
may work for the betterment and
uplift of South Carolina. A family
divided within itself is not likely to
make material progress in the worlds
