Editor Moore and the Colum-
ha Records defense of his
brother.in-law the Sheriff Of
Charleston, points out to Us that
we did net have our history on
straight, and since thinking
about it we believe he is almost
right. But the point we are en-
deavoring to impress is not so
much when Sheriff Martin land
ed from Barnwell, but the fact
that he was the appointee OF
Governor Evans as chief of vie
metropolitan police; the act
which placed the heel OF eppres-
sion on the necks of the people
of Charleston. The true history
of Martins political career, if
our memory serves Us correctly
is, that he was chief of police un-
der the Ficken administration,
but the succeeding administra-
ton, that is to say, Mayor
Smyth refused to reappoint him,
and Martin was about down and
out until Gov. Evans came to his
rescue and gave him back the
job; although, Evans had to play
the role of the tyrant to do so;
it was common belief at the time
that he put Charleston under the
metropolitan police system for
his political aggrandizement,a and
gave the place to Martin that he
might use him as an instrument
for his political purposes, not
withstanding this humiliation the

instrumentality of Mr.. Martin,

JUST THE SAME KIND OF GIRL
Modern Maid, In All Essentials, 10 Z
Worthy Copy Of Her Mother

Every now and again somebody

Of Noah and will be asked until the
end. ,rC
Mary Lyon, when she p4ovlded for

college for girls, stipulated that all
the household work in it should be
done by the students. That rule was
enforced rigidly up to a recent date.
when the directors and faculty, feel.
ing that the practice might have be-
come outworn, made the domestic
tasks Of the institution optional for
the undergraduates. u
But when the girls Of Mount Holy.
oke were requested to announce their
wishes on the subject, 74s of the 500
elected to continue in the tasks Of
sweeping corridors, washing dishes,
setting tables and making up beds.
There, is no need to worry about
the American girl, even If she does
wear gowns the sight Of which seems
to preclude all idea Of work on her
part. She isn't saying much about
It, but she Is in all essentials the
same kind of girl our mothers and
grandmothers were.

Royalty and Politics.

It is difficult for people in this coun'
try to understand how 1t happens that
in Europe all family affairs are mixed
up with politics. Five years ago the
Duchess Jutta of Mecklenburg married
the Prince Danilo, heir to the crown
Of Montenegro. She is now at Jena,
Germany, being treated for a serious
nervous affection. 1t is well-known,
say foreign papers, that this state Of
i'll health Is due to the reception she
recently met at the court Of Cettinje.
King Nicholas has obstinately refused
to e his daughterip.law. The sup.
port given by Austria and Germany to
Italy to force him to abandon Scutari
reused him to fury. King Nicholas
will not pardon his daughter-in-law for
being German, and by his orders she
vas sent over the frontier. The ef.
forts made by Prince Danilo for the
reception of his unoffending wife only
meet this response from the fierce
old king: mo Germans about me!
Do you hear that?"

APPEALS TO MYSTICs
Believe Ships Cat Foresaw tho Do
aster That Mas to Befall the
Empress Of ireland.

A tale, possibly quite true, is told
Of the cat that lived on the steam
ship Empress Of Ireland. Just before
that Inflated vessel started from Mon
treal on the voyage so trag'cally
short, the cat, 1t is reported, hurried
down the gangplank with her two kit
tens in her mouth, and, contrary to
her established custom, took up quar-"
ters on the wharf. Furthermore, at
the moment when the Empress went
down tho cat made a cry which
"miaou" remotely literates.
All this is easily believable-bar'
ring, perhaps, the carrying Of two kit
tens at once-for cats have freakish
notions as to the disposition Of their
families, and they say something like
"miaou' so often that the sound Is
coincident with innumerable events.
What really is mysterious Is that
the conduct Of this cat received serl'
GUS consideration by the members OF
an Occult club" In London, and they
took 1t as indicative on her part OF
advance knowledge Of what was going
to happen to the Empress! Why they
should do so is beyond comprehen.
sion, as, indeed, Is all Of the logic OF
the mystical-minded to those of US
who happen not to be built that way
in our upper stories.

Curran, I'll lie here till you change

counselor laughed, and he who came
to whip stayed to dine, and the paiy

How "a XIII Flea.

TO clear rooms of flies carbolic acid
may be used as follows: Heat a shovel
or any similar article and drop thereon
twenty drops Of carbolic acid. The
vapor kills the flies.
A cheap and perfectly reliable fly
poison, ono which is not dangerous to
human life, is bichromate Of potash in
solution. Dissolve n dram, which
can be bought at any drug store, in
two ounces Of water, and add a little
sugar. Put soma Of this solution in
shallow dishes and distribute them
about the house.
Sticky lypaper, traps and liquid poi
sons are among the things to use in
killing flies, but the latest; cheapest
and best is a solution Of formalin or
formaldehyde in water, A spoonful Of
this liquid put into a quarter OF a pint
Of water and exposed in the room will
be enough to kill all the flies.
To clear the room quickly where
there are many flies, barn pyrethrum
powder in the room. This stupefies
the flies, when they may be swept up
and buried.
If there are any flies in the dining
room Of your hotel, restaurant or
boarding house, complain to the pro-
prietor that the premises are not clean

PEACE STILL DISTANT.

It will take a more decisive defeat
than the Germans sustained before
Paris to end this war. England is in
no mood for peace and there are no
signs that the German Emperor Is
ready to lay down his arms.
The Germans are preparing for a
vigorous stand and will not give up
the principles for which they entered
upon this war without further battles.
It Is hard for Americans at this dis
tance to realize the underlying mo
tives Of the war.
France and England intend to de-
stroy the menace Of German militar-
ism as they see it, while Germany
backed by her ally, Austria, wants TO
reduce the power of the Triple En-
tente.
There can be no compromise now,
when only the overtures OF the war
have taken place. What we have
been reading are but the preliminar-
les of a long and bloody struggle.
With Germany and Austria apparent
ly suffering reverses, France, England
and Russia are not ready for peace.
Germany still has a fine fighting ma
chine at her command, despite the re-
verses in France, and it would be
surprising, indeed, if Emperor Will
liam sued for peace at this time.
No; .i REggesident Wilson did well to
set hiE nsace day as far as October
4, and he may have the opportunity
to name several more before the dove
Of peace hovers over Europe.

Free Sculpture.

Very many years ago 1t was the
fashion Of England and on the con
tinent to have great gardens Of ever
green trees trimmed and clipped into
curious and fantastic shapes. To such
an extent did the craze develop that
these gardens were filled with crouch
ing lions, pigs and even hens and
chickens, all laboriously sculptured
from living green and kept in trim by
constant use Of the knife and the
shears.
a few Of these gardens were estab-
lished in this country and one still re-
mains in perfect condition. 1t is To-
Gated on the famous Hunnewell estate
at Wellesley, Mass, and is visited by
people from all over the world. The
garden is on the side Of a terraced hill
dropping away to a beautiful little
lake.
Evergreens Of many kinds are to be
found there and each summer a force
OF workmen With long ladders care.

MAKING THE HUMBLE PENNY
BY the Use Of Ingenious Machinery
the Coins Are Turned Out and
Sorted Quickly.

We speak Of copper coins as cop
pers" for short. In reality the penny
is bronze, a mixture Of copper, tin
and zinc. This metal arrives at the
mint in long bars. It Is put into
closed crucibles in a closed furnace,
where the immense heat melts it I'M
til 1t runs like water. The melting
removes any impurities in the metal.
The purified metal Is poured into
long, thin molds and cooled, after
which it is pressed between powerful
rollers into sheets the exact size and
thickness Of a penny. These long,
thin strips now 60 to another ma
chine. This one is called the cut
ter" It cuts the metal into round
disks the size Of a penny. The scraps.
fall into a tray beneath and are melt
ed again in the furnace, so that moth.
ing is wasted.
The blank disks are now brought to
a machine which raises the edges. Of
the coins. This protects the face Of
the penny from a great deal OF wear.
After this process they are baked for
two and a half hours to strengthen
them. Then they are ready for the
stamping machine.
Into the machine they are dropped
down a sloping tube. At the bottom
Of 1t they are struck between two dies
and they come out stamped on both
sides. Every coin is tested before it
leaves the mint. The coins pass on
a revolving belt before an expert,
whose quick touch and glance discern
those Of imperfect make, bad color,
etc. " :. r.. .
The last and most wonderful ma.
chine in the mint is the one that
counts the pennies and bags them,
putting the same number in each bag.

CANADA AFFECTED.

Canada already is beginning to feel
the burden of the European war. All
kinds Of emergency measures have
been necessitated and everywhere fin
ancial depression is evident. One OF
the hardest winters in its history
faces that nation. In fact, conditions
look SO dubious that in many in
stances the Canadian government has
made arrangements with retail. estab-
lishments to supply the necessities OF
life to many settlers who are not in
financial shape to withstand the i'm
pending financial stringency.
The sympathy Of Americans go out
to their sister nation, which is com
ing forward nobly to the support OF
the mother country. However, the
practical side cannot help but impress
us as subjects of the United States
free from European entanglements.
Canada today is sharing burdens
imposed by a nation to which she is
linked in name only. OF course,
everything she does is voluntary on
ner part. She need not shoulder any
of the discomforts or sorrow Of this
gerat war, but she elects to do it be-
cause of her intense patriotism.
The situation will retard the devel-
opment of western Canada. lmmi.
grafton practically will cease and all
business expansion must naturally ex-
perience a serious setback.

CAMPAIGN ON IN EARNEST.

One of the most important issues
before the voters this fall is that OF
woman's suffrage. The forces in IA
vor and opposed to granting equal
suffrage ARE actively engaged in a
campaign that for the most part is
ydigniied and effective.
1t must be said to the credit Of the
%suffragists that they have a more &C
tive press bureau than their sisters,
the ants. This, however, does not in
fer that the anti-suffragists are mac
tive. Their campaign is being waged
as industriously as that of the oppo.
sition.
There is a widespread feeling in
this state that the majority Of women
do not want the ballot. This is the
most difficult argument for the friends
OF woman suffrage to combat, as sta
,tistics indicate a surprising indiffer-
sence in those states where women
can vote.
The first Illinois election showed
quite an active registration among
the women, although the vote fell far
behind the registration.
Last week at the Illinois primary
election, the vote was SO small as to
cause alarm in the suffrage camps.
In some precincts not a vote was
cast. In Illinois the arguments in "a
vor Of woman's suffrage apply much
more than they do In North Dakota.
That is a state where the liquor
traffic menaces the home. North Da-
kota has prohibition. Illinois is a
state where child labor is a problem.
North Dakota is without such a prob
lem In any alarming degree. Thous-
