THE TONGUE
CIV. B. Duncan, Jr.)

Well has it been said that the gun
is not Americas deadliest weapon,
but the tongue. How many lives
have been murdered by the cruel
tongue?
Sir Hector Macdonald was a gen
eral in the English Army. Several
charges were brought against him,
and rather than face them he took his
own life. A commission was appoin-
ted to investigate the charges, and it
found them utterly false. In it's re-
port it said: eve find that the late
Sir Hector Macdonald was cruelty
assassinated by slanderous tongues"
Esop tells the story that Xanthus
once ordered his servant to prepare
the best that the market afforded for
a coming guest. When Xanthus
found tongue served for every course,
he was angry and exclaimed: Did
not order you to prepare the best that
the market afforded?" "And have l
not? What is better than tongue!
Is not the tongue the bond of evil
| society, the organ of truth and reason
and the instrument of our praise and
alteration of God?" Xanthus ordered
| for the morrow the worst that the
market afforded, and again his SER
want brought in tongue for every
course. "What, tongue again." cried
Xanthus. "Most certainly" replied
the servant. "The tongue is surely
the worst thing in the world. 1t is
the instrument of all strife and con-
tention, the inventor OF lawsuits, the
source of divisions and wars, and the
organ of errors, lies, Slander, and
blasphemies."
Friends, at the beginning of the
year Nineteen Hundred and Fifteen
let us all of one accord make as our
daily prayer the words of the Psal-
mist, "Let the words of my mouth
and tht meditation Of my heart, be
acceptable in Thy sight, o Lord, my
strength and my redeemer."

THE WAR AND THE FASHIONS

No one can study history scienti-
fically without also studying contem-
poraneous costume, for the temper of
the times inevitably reflects itself in
the fashions that it produces. The
rich fancy of the Middle Ages found
expression in voluminous folds amt
magnificent embroidery, and in slip
pers so long that their toes had to
be held up by chains fastened to tn
knee In the time of the French
Revolution the passion for republican
ism was so sweeping that the cos
tuners went back to the days OF re-
publican Rome, and produced an "a,
dent if somewhat incorrect imitation
of the classic style-an imitation that
was responsible for the short waist
that came into vogue throughout
France, and aftcrward throughout
En"land.
Today shows similar transforma-
ton in style as result of the great
European war, although, to be sure
the winter fashions have not yet been
fully determined, since many of the
great French designers are at e..
front, and the gowns and the coats
that women are wearing now wer"
put out in the very earliest days of
the conflict A little while ago 81
100000 worth of dyestuffs came into
this country from Germany, but foi
several months before that dyes had
been extremely difficult to get, and
so putty color and sand color became
suddenly fashionable. And it was
not, as many people believed, the pre-
valence of mourning in Paris, bu
/ the lack of colored dyes, that made
! black so popular.
Military styles have been gradu
ally establishing themselves. High
soldierly collars, belts with little
! pockets, suits with braided fronts an;
epaulet effects, three-cornered ha,
! and hats that bear stiff cockades
! gaitcr-toppcd shoes, and hOwn'
capca-all are expressions of militar!
enthusiasm. The signs are ev,
more interesting because of the SUI
Vi al o. the Influences of the Balkal
War, as shown in sleeves of dif
fercnt color from the rest OF tn
waist. and in turbaned hats an
striped silk trimmings.
! But perhaps the most noticeable il
! HuGncC IhaI Ine war mas nad upO
style is shown in the new Cossa,
coat. Belted in at the waist, wit
it's fiaring, ree-quarters-leng
skirt, and its long, tight-fttin
sleeves and its high collar, all edge
with fur, it is an almost exact rC
production of the coat worn by tn
Russian Cossack.-Youths Compar

POPULATION NEAR
HUNDRED MILLION

Washington, Jan. 22.-The popu-
lation of continental United States
will pass the 100,0O0,000 mark Win
in the next three months, according
to two estimates made public by gov
ernmcnt bureaus today. Geographer
G. ID. Sloan estimated that the popu-
laton would be 100,000,000 at 4 p. m.,
April Il. Government Actuary Nc
Coy Of the treasury department cal
culatcd that it would be 100,016,000
on February /. The census bureau
estimate was based on the increase
between 1900 and 1910 and indicated
that the country would contain 1O0,-
800, 3l8 persons July /, next, and
more than 10S, 100000 July /, 1920.
The 1900 census showed a population
of 1894, ,275, while the 1910 figures
was 91,972, ,266.
Actuary Mccoy arrived at his con
| clusion by including the factor of nat
ural increase, which, he said, would
augment the simple increase consid-
cred in the census bureau figures
| Census bereau officials said decreased
immigration due to the war and re-
strictive legislation would overcome
that factor.

A Return to Sanity.
(CharleSton PoSt)


After all that has been experienced
and endured in the political trenches
for four years, amenities lost in the
mire and conscience almost calloused
it is almost increditable to South Car
olinians of disinterested minds to find
the conventions observed and discus
sion resumed in intelligent terms, in
stead of muddy scrambling and shrap-
mel dodging. 1t is almost too sudden
to get gradually back into normal
ways.
Governor Manning perhaps, has
great opportunity, but happily he
seems not to have thought too much
upon the subjective phase of his call
ing to the high office assumed today,
and, we venture to hope, that will not
engage very greatly the attention of
South Carolinians. To the people who
want decent ordering of their affairs
as condition precedent to the Solu-
tion of serious problems of life, the
opportunity of this or that individual
is of no very great concern or i'm
portance, and that individual will
have the best opportunity who bur-
| dens himself least with it. No oh~
man can make the salvation of a
democratic commonwealth. The gov
ernor of a state cannot make South
| Carolina a wholesome and happy
place. He can enforce the laws thS>
are made-if there are not too many
of them-and he can give an exam
pie of sincerity and fidelity and h.
can be vigilant of the public eXpen-
ditures and wise in recommending
courses of conduct. He cannot CIV
good government; he can only pre-
serve and extend il.
Governor Manning makes no eXag.
geratcd claims fer himself. He ever
gives evidence of humility in the face
Of his responsibilities. He denounce:
nobody and he eXalts no class. HI
discusses, in perfectly plain, matte
OF fact and even homely way, the or
dinary affairs which concern the dali.
life and the material interest of sen
sible people, and he counsels moder
ate and thoughtful ways. He make
no promise Of brilliant leadership; h
does not celebrate triumph nor pro
claim a crisis. He catches up at tn
point where it was broken four year
ago the thread of affairs in South Ca
olina and resumes constructive WORK
1t is all so sane and simple, that, b
contrast, it Is almost uncanny.
1t will doubtless take a good Will
to set things right in South Carolin
after the jarring there has been, bu
there is to be no time lost IN gettin
about the work, however gropingly,
Governor Manning is to have his way
He is ready 10 do his part and h
calls on every other South Carolina
10 give a hand.
