In keeping with the spirit of times,
the management Of Draughon' s
Practical Business College Of Colum-
bia, S. C.. Zone of the chain Of big
Draughon Colleges located through
out the Southern and Western States)
announces four (4) money saving
plans for 1915, to young men and
young women planning to enter Col
lege in January.
While the majority Of small busi-
ness colleges are no longer able to
accept cotton at ten cents per pound
in payment for tuition the Big
Draughon College of Columbia is con-
tinuing to offer this ten cents cotton
plan, and also announces that notes,
payable one year Cor longer) from
date, will be accepted in payment for
scholarships, while this temporary
period of business depression con-
tinues. In fact, this institution is eX-
tending to its patrons throughout the
State the most liberal terms and con-
ditions with reference to manner OF
making tuition payments.
Following are the four (4) plans
of enrolment offered:
1. Cotton Plan-Cotton will be ac-
cepted (strict middling) in payment
for scholarships and ten cents per
pound will be allowed for it. One
50O-pound bale will pay for $50
complete scholarship in the Book
keeping and Banking department of
Draughon's College or a complete
scholarship in the Shorthand and
Typewriting department. Two such
bales will be accepted for a Com
bined Scholarship of both Bookkeep-
ing, Shorthand and auxiliary studies.
2. Cash Plan-Where the student
enrolling pays cash for scholarship,
War Discount" of $1,000 will be
allowed and Railroad fare of the
student to Columbia will be paid by
the College. This is equal in every
way, from an economical standpoint.
to the cotton plan offered above, and
will only remain in force for such a
limited time as in the opinion of the
College management present existing
conditions may justify.
3. Note PIan-If the student
wishes to give note, payable year
Cor longer) from date, for the full
price of the scholarship, allowing suf-
ficient time for the student to COM
plete the course, accept position
and earn the money with which to
pay the note before it falls due, the
regular catalogue price is charged
for each scholarship, which is a few
dollars higher than the cash price.
Where 80, go, or 80 day notes are
given, no difference in price is charg-
ed. Many students enter Draughon's S
College each year under this note
plan, and complete their course, &C
cept positions and earn the money
to pay their notes before they fall
due. If you are interested in this
plan, write for special note plan
blank which gives full information.
4. BY Mail Plan-Any young man
or young woman can purchase a
Draughon Scholarship for the Book
keeping and Banking,N or for the
Shorthand and Typewriting course,
and pay for this scholarship with cot
ton Con a basis of ten cents per
pound with cash, or with an ap-
proved tote. The student can then

remain at home, and the College will
teach him by mail for 8, 4, or 5
months or longer (as long as the
student desires), after which the said
student goes to Columbia, enters the
departments of the college and COM
pletes the course thoroughly under
the direct supervision and guidance,
Of experienced instructors. Under
this plan, the Scholarships are good
for instruction both BY MAIL and at
COLLEGE, and after studying by
mail as long as desired the student
enters the institution to compete the
work on the same scholarship, with
out any additional charge whatever.
Full information and testimonial let
tiers from those who have actually
used this plan will be mailed upon
request. Write for them.
The above plan (No. A will espe-
cially appeal to many young men
and young women throughout the
State during the coming year, because
many can afford to purchase a $50
scholarship, for cash or with cotton
Cat ten cents), but do not feel able or
willing, under the conditions now
existing, to undertake the monthly
board and living expenses which at
tending college certainly makes
necessary. While progress Is not so
rapid in taking lessons by mail, the
saving in board and living expenses
means great deal. After taking the
Home Study lessons, student Should
be able to go to College, complete the
work thoroughly in SIX to eight weeks
and accept position. Individual let
ters from those who have used this
plan during the past year is the best
proof that you can use it too. Write

The Spanking of Napoleon.

1t is said that, when in exile at
Elba, Napoleon told the following
story of how his mother had spanked
him, says an exchange.
Zone day, it appears, his mother S
mother was hobbling along the street
in Ajaccio, when Napoleon and his
sister Pauline followed the old lady
and mimicked her. Their grand
mother turned and caught them in
the act.
"She complained to Nine. Letitla
Bonaparte. Pauline was at once
spanked and disposed of. Napoleon,
who was out in his regimentals,
could not be handled, since the uni
form was as sacred as the flag. But
his mother bided her time.
The next day. when her son was
off his guard, she called out; Ma
poleon. Napoleon! Quick! You are
invited to dine with the governor.
Whereupon the future emperor
ran to his room to change his clothes.
His mother quietly followed, and
when she judged that the proper
time hadcome rushed into the room,
seized her undressed hero before he
guessed her purpose, laid him across
her knee and belabored him earnestly
with the fat of her hand.

SOME NEW FIGHTING TOOLS.
Implements of Warfare Now Used
BY Uncle Sam.

THE tools of warfare which the
soldiers, sailors and marines of the
United States fighting force carry
with them into action today are so
different from those in use when the
war with Spain was fought that to a
veteran of that conflict almost the
entire personal equipment of the
modern fighting man seems strange
and unfamiliar" says the August
Popular Mechanics.
Efficiency, lightness and compact
ness are the ends that have been
aimed at in the design and construc-
tion of the modern weapons. In ad-
dition to the mechanical improve
ment of individual weapons, every
thing used by the three arms of the
service have been standardized, so
that all use the same rifles, ammuni-
ton, side arms, packs and miscel-
laneous equipment. The need of this
was keenly felt at times during the
last war. On some occasions sailors
and marines would be almost over
burdened with ammunition, while
the land forces we're reduced to few
rounds of cartridges, and the one
helpless to assist the other, all be-
cause Of the difference in the types
of rifles and ammunition used.
"In pursuance of this policy of
standardizing the general equipment,
the most important step was the
adoption of the new .30-calibre rifle,
which now is used exclusively by SOL
diers, sailors and marines. 1t is the
smallest military rifle used by any
great nation, and yet it is declared to
be the most powerful. It's weight,
including the bayonet, which weighs
a pound. is 9.69 pounds. and its
length 43.212 inches. Elevated at
an angle of As degrees, this rifle will
fire bullet 4,S91.6 yards in 3S.O5S
seconds. At a 100-yard range, the
bullet has penetrated 52.S inches of
seasoned 1-inch pine boards, spaced
inch apart. At ten times that dis
tance it has sent it's projectile through
1O.4S inches of boards similarly ar
ranged, while boiler plate .52S inches
thick has been bored at distance of
so feet. At 100 yards bullets have
dug through brick walls So inches
in thickness. The initial velocity of
the bullet is 2,700 feet second,
while the pressure in the chamber
is estimated to be $1,000 pounds to
the square inch"
"The heavy marching-order equip
ment of the present, (which is the
same in the army, navy and marine
corps, consists of a somewhat lighter
load, which is manifestly compact
and portable Everything needed by
the soldier is contained in the pack
strapped to his back by means Of
suspenders, worn over the shoulders,
and fastened at the bottom to the
cartridge belt, which equalizes the
weight. Free arm and leg action is
given, while the load is so placed
that it's weight lis not thrown upon
one part of the body, does not cause
difficulties in marching through bad
territory, nor interfere with the inn

PELLAGRINS AT THE ASYLUM.
Superintendent Reports 300 Deaths
in Year From Disease.

That an alarmingly large number
of deaths at the State Hospital for
the Insane is due to pellagra was the
statement of DR.. Strait, the superin-
tendent of the institution. DR.. Strait
said that out of the approximately
900 deaths at the asylum in the last
year 500 of the number were pella-
grins. He said that Of the Is deaths
at the institution in October 60 were
pellagrins, 27 of whom died within
less than thirty days of their admis-
sion. In November of the 70 deaths
46 were pellagrins.
Superintendent Strait said that ne
would recommend in his annual re-
port the segregation of the pellagra
patients. He thinks that the large
death rate is due TO the fact that a
great many old people are sent to the
asylum suffering from senility. He
said one patient was 100 years old
when admitted and another Is and
another II. There are now 1850 pa
tients in the State Hospital for the
Insane. as against 1925 last March
DR.. Strait said there were some peo-
pie in the asylum who ought to be IN
the county aims houses, because they
are not crazy and he intimates that
he thinks sometimes people are sent
to the asylum just because their fam
lilies want to get rid Of them.
He said a great many of the pei
lagrins were sent to the asylum In
the last stages of that dread disease
and nothing could be done for them.
He said such patients are fed only
on liquids, and they being in the last
stages prevents. anything being done
to cure them. The superintendent
thinks that some radical change in
the policy of dealing with the pella-
gra cases must be adopted by the in
stitution.
There were 10000 less loaves OF
bread consumed at the asylum in
1914 than was the case in 1913,
said DR.. Strait, and he attributed
this to the fact that the loaves OF
bread were now being sliced. DR..
Strait has his annual report ready
for the printer and hopes to have 1t
ready to 10y on the desks of the
members of the general assembly
when that body convenes.
DR.. Strait says there are so patients
out at State Park. 1t is thought
that the situation of State Park will
have the attention Of the general as
sembly, for it must be decided wheth-
er the plan of removing the whole
asyIum there is to be continued or
not.
DR.. A. B. Patterson has severed
his connection with the asylum as
physician at State Park and has re-
turned to Barnwell to resume the
practice of his profession. DR.. Pat
terson represents Barnwell county in
the State senate and still has two
years to serve. His successor at
State Park has not been announced.

FALLAcY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost 10 Nest Likely to Occur

10 q Wrong Idea.

One ut the most tenacious beliefs
Is that the weather 10 affected by
the movement OF the moon. II Ii gen.
orally considered that frost Ia more
likely to occur In the light OF the

this reason crops which the frost u

Ihe moon reflects sunlight to the
earth and produces the tides. II has
minor effects. such as changing the po
sition of the earth and causing min
ute reflections OF the magnetic needle;
these last, are, however, 20 small that
they have only effect upon refined in.
struments OF detection. and II has
been proved conclusively these two
have no relation to the change Of
weather. Regarding the two former
effects named, 1t is quite easy to un-
derstand that reflected sunlight from
the moon cannot affect the weather.
In the first place, more light is rer
ceived from the sun In thirty min
utes than from the moon In one year.
and, moreover. the greatest reflection
Ia at full moon: from logical point
of view then 1t should be warmer in.
stead of colder at full moon. This
should disproye any argument that
the reflected light makes 1t colder
at full moon.
