THE RED CROSS SEAL CON-
MISSION OF SOUTH CAROLINA

The Red Cross Seal Commission of
South Carolina has reopened its Of
fee in the Union National Bank
Building and is planning TO conduct
again the energetic statewide sale
of the seals which are to be used
during the month of December on the
backs of letters, packages, menus,
theatre programs and any place they
will stick.
The Commission has sent in an
order to the National Red Cross So.
ciety for shipment of four hundred
thousand Red Cross Christmas Seals
and advertising material in proper
ton. In 1913 there were sold in
South Carolina approximately $780,,
600 of these little messengers of
health. In 1914, owing to the de
pressed financial condition of the
State, the sale approximated only
about 100000. This year, with the
financial outlook more encouraging,
the Commission hopes to be able to
dispose of the entire lot of 100000.
and an esthusiastic campaign for Sc
curing agents inthe towns throughout
the State to place the seals on sale
is now begun.
The officers of the Commission for
1915-16 are Jas. H. Fowles, Colum-
bia, Chairman, Miss Louly Shand,
Columbia, Vice-Chairman, Mrs. Phil
ip Rich, Orangeburg, Yice-Chairman,
and Miss Julia Hayward, Columbia,
Secretary and Treasurer.
The Red Cross Seals sell for one
cent each, and ninety per cent of the
proceeds from the sale during the
Christmas season is kept in the
State of South Carolina to aid in the
fight against tuberculosis. There
fore, every penny that is put into
Red Cross Christmas Seals is a bull
let in the great battle against con-
sumption in our state.

New York, October 14.-The keel
of the s15,0OO,OOo super-dread-
nought California was laid to-day at
the Brooklyn navy yard. Secretary
Daniels, in a speech concluding the
brief ceremony attending the begin
ming of actual work on the fighting
craft, said the California will mark
the most advanced step taken in the
naval engineering in many years.
The super-dreadnought will be the
first large vessel to be propelled en-
tirely by electricity
Besides Secretary Daniels and sew
eraI members of the naval advisory
board, more than one thousand per-
sons saw Commander George H. Rock
chief of construction at the yard,
guide the two centre plates, and the
key plate into position.
The California is expected to be
launched within fifteen months and
to be placed in commission in about
three years.
The vessel will be of $4,000 tons
displacement, length 625 feet and
beam 81 IA feet. She will carry
twelve 14-inch guns and twenty-five
5-inch guns, as we'll as having four
submerged torpedo tubes.
Secretary Daniels in his address at
the keel-laying ceremonies told about
the tests of electric propulsion on the
collier Jupiter, and added.
"The California is the logical out
come of the departments expert

first battleship of any navy in the
world to be propelled by electricity.

WHY WEDDINGS
ATTRACT WOMEN

"What is the reason for this we'd

"Why is it that at all fashionable
weddings one sees SO many women

cinated by the spectacle of somebody
getting married?"
Some women 60 to make notes of
the brides dress and the costumes
of the visitors
"At fashionable weddings one sees
the highest perfection of taste in
women's wear"
One woman says:
81 go to weddings because I can't
help going to them. I like to see
what the bride looks like, whether
the bridegroom is tall and good
looking, and how the guests and
friends are dressed.
"When anybody Of note is going to
be married l look up their pedigree
and find out all I can about them.
Then, when l see them in the flesh, it
is more thrilling to me than a play"
Other reasons why women go to
weddings are as follows:
'It is because wedding is the
most interesting thing in the world to
a woman.
81 know that if I am passing q
church where a wedding is in pro-
gress have to stop and wait for the:
bride to come out. Why? l cannot

What must man do, who wishes
to leave his estate sin the care of a
trust company" Mr.. Hemphill was
asked.
"All that is required is to nominate
a trust company in his will" Mr.
Hemphill answered. THE will can be
written by his own lawyer or by him
self. Trust companies in New York
are not permitted to draw up wills,
but their lawyers can pass on those
already prepared as to their legality,
intelligibility and SO on.
Ordinarily. when trust company
is made the custodian Of an estate,
1t is at the same time made the ex-
ecutor of the estate. An executor pays
the debts of an estate and collects
it's credits. In New York, and 1 sup
pose 1t Is so elsewhere, the fees Of an
executor are fixed by law.
Settling an estate Is one thing;
taking care Of an estate is another. If
500. 600, the lawful fee for settling his
estate would be as follows: Five per
cent for the first $1,000. or $50; 21s per
cent IOT THO IcAl 11VSVoVs VI 3SOV, anu
l per cent for the remaining $4,000, or
$sS0-a total, you see, Of $1,1S0.
"rhe estate having been settled, It
goes into the guardianship Of the trust
company. It's income is collected and
then paid out as directed by the will.
Let us follow the case Of the man who
left property valued at 100000. In
vested, 1t yields a revenue OF $4,000
a year. The charge for collecting this
income 10 8 per cent on the first $1,000,
or $50, and IN per cent on $4,000, or

fore, received $3.50 annually The

the trust, which may continue for ten,

"A trust company having an estate to
administer, invests the estate, as ia
deems best. in real property. bonds.
mortgages and SO FORTH" was asked.
THE laws Of New York keep such in
vestments within rigid bounds" Mr..
Hemphili replied. Trust funds may be
invested in real. estate mortgages, but
no loan Of that nature can amount to
more than two-thirds Of the value Of
the land and the improvements. invest
