wIzAR EDISON on BUSINESS.

We wish that the business men of the country
could take lesson in optimism from the wizard
Edison A few weeks ago his big factory was burn
cd and he at once set about rebuilding It, although
at his age 6S years, he would have been excusable
il he had said We'll. I am getting too old now 70
bother with these things. and / am not going to
attempt to rebuild" But this is not Edison's way
He says he still has seventeen years of usefulness
and that he will accomplish much in this time. So
he Is rebuilding his factory. and spreading op-
timism. He remarks upon the business depression.
and the fanaticism OF business men who are afraid
OF their shadows these days are worth studying and
analyzing.
AS applied to local conditions, we wonder IL there
are any OF the kind OF men Edison describes In An
derson-the Electric City? Are there not too
many of us who sit down and weep because things
are not going right" when we should be hustline
to make them go right? Is there any real cause
for all this hard times talk we are SO fond OF in
iulging these days? Let the business community
brace up and get busy DOING things We must
do this or suffer the consequences.
But, let us what Edison says:
We've had some things on hand of late
They were things wanted to move rapidly
and went to lot OF men I've done business
with for years. But no. they wouldn't do
business. You never saw such hopeless lot
of men. They had no decision. no initiative
They couldn't make up their minds to do
anything. or let anybody else do anything
Nobody had any nerve left. And that's too
bad. These men ought to be building new
factories and branch railroads and stirring
things up generally tH>M 4e

CAPT. cHAs. PETTY.

The death at an early hour this morning of Capt
Charles Petty, Confederate veteran. newspaper
man and beloved fellow citizen casts gloom over
the city OF spartanburg where he had spent his
life. While he had been in failing health the past
few weeks 1t was not generally known that his ILL
ness was believed to be of critical nature and the
announcement OF his death comes therefore as a
very great shock
Captain Petty was the dean of South Carolina
journalism, He had been connected with local
newspapers for period of many years. Up untii
some ten days ago he contributed regularly to the
columns Of The Journal. He was especially In
tercsted In the Sunday school lessons which he
prepared for this paper. and whenever he was sick
would prepare this feature even though he was mn
able to do any other work

Philadelphia Physician Uses Them for
the instruction Of the Students
Under Him.

In Philadelphia moving pictures are
now being used to record actions and
expressions in cases Of nervous dis
eases. DR.. T. H. Weisenburg, a we'll
known neurologist of that city, il
quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer as
saying that no development in recent
years has been of SO much value as
the use of moving pictures in medical
teaching. The usual method pursued
by this physician is to first lecture on
his topic, which may be epilepsy, and
then to show a reel containing speci-
mems Of the different types. The film
actually portrays a man having a At.
The physician maintains that the
moving picture is the only way Of
keeping a permanent record of symp-
toms in rare cases, thus providing the
only record which can be sent from
place to place and reproduced hum
dreds Of times with the same effect as
though the original extremely rare
case was being viewed.
The pictures also furnish in = the
case Of a certain kind of epileptic
spasm. where a movement is extreme
ly swift, a means of diagnosis, be-
cause the operator can slow up the
machine. lessening the speed of the
film and thus allowing recognition of
the movements in their slow form that
was hard when they were encountered
at the original speed.

Difficulties
OF Voting
In Florida

| Many men in st. Petersburg were
unable to vote in the bond election
held Friday because they had not
registered in the county, had not
paid poll tax or had failed to do
some other thing that was a condi-
tion precedent. One man who
wanted to vote for the road bonds
said:
81 have lived in Florida nine
years and I have never yet been
able to get in a vote. l am dis
gusted and will quit trying"
He should not be discouraged but
wha must be done shrdl cmfwy mfw
should get instructions regarding
what must be done in order to cast
his ballot and then meet those re-
quirements. AS he says, however,
there are SO many obstacles in the
way Of a man voting that he gets
disguised and feels like giving it up
as a bad JOB. To be qualified to
vote in all elections that are held
one must register three times and
pay poll tax. One must register in
the primary election books, which
have nothing to do with any other
elections; then one must register in
the city to be eligible to vote in
city election, and must register in
the county books to be eligible to
vote in a county election. In addi-
ton to this one must bea property
owner to vote on bonds in city
election. One need not be a property
owner to vote on county bonds, but
must bea taxpayer to vote on bonds
issued by a school district.
1t is all very complicated; so
complicated that many men refuse
to try to qualify and simply stay
away from the polls. The tangled
up election laws may have been
framed with the purpose of keek
ing away from the polls the negroes
who. are not educated, but if that
was the purpose it did not succeed,
fer there is always some white man
interested in the negro vote who will
instruct the negroes what to do and
see to it that they comply fully with
the regulations.
The next legislature would do
good thing if it would simplify the
election laws of the state SO as tc
make it easy for the citizens to
qualify as voters and do away with
the technicalities that now hedge
about the voting place Once in
two years is too infrequent to open
the county registration books. They
should be open before every election,
as are the city books so that those
who are otherwise qualified to vote
can become voters. The present laws
seem to be designed to prevent or
make it difficult for men to vote in
stead of doing everything possible to
give them the opportunity to VOTE

A POSSIBLE PATRIOT

General Villa has never impressed
this country with being much more
than rather successful swash-
buckler, ignorant of about every
thing except the peculiar are of
Mexican warfare. This country has
not forgotten the many atrocities
laid to his charge, nor has it for
gotten that there are several scores
eventually to be settled with him.
But in the matter of agreeing in
the plan to restore peace in Mexico.
as laid ont by the president and
framed into workable program by
the Pan-American conference, Villa
mas shown himself much more of a
patriot than has his his more Guilt
waited former chief, Carranza. They

the American mind, that the Next

accept Villas offer to surrender
leadership and join in a movement

that Villa is showing that under all
MS vicious instincts he has a realiz-
ing sense that the end of the Next

that the time has come for him ia

promises restoration of peace and
the full harvesting of the fruits of
the revolution.
Carranza, on the other hand, still

sightedness and his selfishnes. In

HENRY FORD'S MAIL

The number of letters a prominent

fame.
One reason for kindly feeling
for Henry Ford is that he and
Thomas A. Edison are warm friends.
Both, in their respective lines Of
work and usefulness, are greatest
men in the world, and neither. is be-
slimed with the slime of politics.

into the night, the days, even the
hours Tailed on. Finally, liberty.
The first move of the wretched con-
vict was to visit the town where his
life had been blighted. He learned
that Ellis Wood had been abroad for
five years, a confirmed invalid, and his
father and sister had removed to some
other town. Then dispirited, almost
purposeless wandering, and now Ran
dial Thorne, shivering outcast, fronted
the wild night storm.
He knocked at the door OF a small
humble cottage and asked for a meal,
but first the work to pay for it. Its
mistress told q tale Of sickness and
restitution that fairly shamed his own
solitary condition.
The wanderer battled the elements
anew until he felt that he should
succumb If he did not soon reach shell
ter and food. He turned In desperate
ly at the gate of a somewhat preten-
tious house. Necessity, the urgings of
his sufferings, inspired him momen-
tarily with certain reckless audacity.
He rang the door bell. A tall fair
woman about his own age responded
to the summons.
Madam" he said simply, Il am q
stranger in a strange place. I have
been just released from a prison. I
am bewildered, stunned, unable to find
my way back into the world that has
forgotten me since five years ago"
Five years." came in a strange
gasp from the woman's lips. Her
eyes seemed filled with a sudden
dread, an indefinable emotion. What
is your name?"
Randall Thorne."
She reeled. But that she caught at
the door she must have fallen. Her
face had turned marble, she seemed
to shrink within herself. Then with
nightly effort she opend wide the
door.
Come in" she said "Oh, the pity
of It! You are Randall Thorne? am
Laura Wood, the sister of your old
friend"
Was 1t a dream-had the storm,
exposure, utter despair brought illu.
sions to his shattered mind? Randall
Torne asked himself the question one
hour later as he sat before a warm
crate fire, q rejuvenated being.
With that same pallid face, not with
evasion yet with a dreadful shrinking,
as though some terrible fear oppressed
her, the beautiful woman had led her
invited guest into the parlor Of the
house. Her gray-haired house-keeper
had been summoned to prepare a
hasty meal. Now Miss Wood listened
to his story with bowed head. Then
she told Of her brother.
You were his friend" she spoke,
never lifting her eyes to the face Of
Thorne. That is enough for me. Had
you not appeared here so strangely as
you have. should have sought you
out"
