MRS. NORMAN HAPGOOD
IS GRANTED DIVORCE
Wife of Editor Made No Charges
and Application Was Not
Contested.

New York. July 25.-Mrs. Norman Hap
good has obtained a divorce from Nor
man Hapgood. editor and owner OF
''Harper's Weekly" 1t was learned yes
terday that the decree was handed down
early last spring. The proceedings were
begun in France last winter.
1t appears there was no scandal OF
any kind in connection with the d.
vorce. The application was not con-
tested. and Mrs. Hapgood made no
charges in it.
Before her marriage Mrs. Hapgood
was Miss Emily Stevens. The couple
were married in Chicago in 1897. There
Is one daughter. The Hapgood home
at LOT East Seventy-third street, has
been rented, and II Is believed Mrs. Hap

100000 A week
Balance in the United States Treasury
Is Being Reduced At
Rapid Rate.

Attention here 10 being directed
again to the condition Of the United
States Treasury. The governments
receipts as compared with its expen-
ditures have not improved since the
beginning Of the new fiscal year. July
/. and II is becoming apparent that
something Will have to be done within
a few months to meet the situation
unless matters improve.
The Treasury started the new fiscal
year with a net balance in the treas
ury of about $S3.000.000. The three
weeks of the new fiscal year have
reduced this to about sSs.o0o.ooo. IN
other words. the government has been
running behind at the rate of about
100000 week. II the excess Of ex-
penditures over receipts should con-
tinue at this ratio 1t would take only
about fourteen weeks-three and a
half months-to exhaust the present
balance.
Many here believe. therefore. that
unless some unexpected change occurs
the administration will be obliged to
act on this matter by the middle Of
October. The relief might take the
form OF a bond issue or the President
might call Congress in session to enact
further revenue legislation. Many are
inclined to believe that the latter
course will be adopted. as the present
war revenue tax expires January l..

barass the government in event of a

British Restraint of Trade.

Facts and documents recently
printed by the New York World show
that Great Britain is carrying her
German blockade into America. Not
content even with holding up illegally
American cargoes destined to neutral
countries, she is seeking to control our
exports at their source.
1t appears from documentary evil
dence that England is welding a club
over our manufacturers. She forbids
them to sell to any foreign purchaser
outside Of England, France and Rus
sia, or to sell to any American pur-
chaser who might do so.
This remarkable embargo is en-
forced through Englands control OF
raw materials. We need crude rub
Der, tin, wool ferro- o-maganesia and
other materials in manufactures that
make up a great bulk Of our present
export trade. And the British gov
ernment through its trade representa-
tives sees to it that the American
manufacturer canot buy the things he
needs unless he signs an agreement
giving British buyers a monopoly OF
all his output not consumed here al
home.
When it comes to cotton, the same
result is said to be accomplished by g
blacklist. Americans with cotton t
sell are obliged to sign similar agree
ments to sell to nobody but citizens o,
the allied countries. If they refuse. NJ
cotton is bought from them by th'
British, French or Russians.
There are two ugly phases Of thi!
business. One is the extension t.
American soil Of a blockade that ough
to be confined to German ports. Th'
| other is the forcible limitation by th'
British government of American ex
port trade for the benefit Of British
exporters.
Whether the latter is internationa
or not, the system works, in practice
to the advantage Of British commerce
at the cost Of our own. Both phases
Of the matter represent gross abus
Of Britain's sea power.
| We do not allow our own corpora
tions to restrain trade in any sucl
ways. Must we allow Great Britain
to do it?-Augusta Chronicle.

MIXING POLITICS AND COTTON
Editor Would Give State Warehouse

1t is q pity-a great pity-that ev-
cry movement somebody starts for the
farmers good is suspected Of being a
well-laid scheme to land some design
ing politician in office.
The Farmers Alliance was good
movement. Its authors meant we'll
and no doubt it would have saved the
farmers thousands Of dollars IL some
body had not raised the cry Of poll
tics"
Now it seems that deliberate at
tempt is being made to slaughter the
state warehouse system with the same
weapon that was used with such fatal
effect against the Farmers Alliance
movement.

missioner there were mild insinuations
that John L. McLaurin was building

What He Meant.-Many years ago
there was an American missionary
located among the Indians in the far
west who was Of a hospitable turn
Of mind. He always kept hard cider
on the premises. If any one OF his
widely scattered flock Of Indians
CHANGED to call upon him, he would
bring them forth jug Of it. One day
a strange Indian called-one whom
he had never seen before evidently
an unconverted heather, so far as
Christianity was concerned-but con-
verted to the consumption Of alcoholic
beverages He, as it turned out, had
been coached after the manner of a
student at a university. His acquaint-
ance with English was limited. He
opened fire upon the astonished mis-
sionary thus:
Abraham, Jacob, Jonah, Job, Satan
Beelzebub," and then paused, evident
ly expecting reply.
What on earth do you mean
asked the the missionary, he not hav-
ing been christened after any Of them
drawing himself up in a dignifieo
manner
The Indian pithily replied: Il mean
cider"

Can't Make Him Out.-Out at a mo-
tor vehicle works, where a new build
ing is in process Of erection, gang
Of laborers is busily at work, says the
Detroit Free Press. One Of them, a
short, heavy built young fellow Of %
has been dubbed Shakespeare by his
fellow laborers, because Of the extra
ordinary vocabulary he possesses.
Shakespeare remained unnoticed by
the officials of the company until sew
eral days ago. 1t is a rule with the
timekeepers that each person en-
ployed in the factory must make out
a time slip for each operation per-
formed during the day. Here are two
slips that came from Shakespeare
recently:
Spent the morning on the erection
of floor hoisting motors with aid OF
crane and redepositing them upor
prepared positions"
From - o'clock to -, wheeled
brick, Made philosophical generaliza'
tions upon the institution of labor
Mentally cursed Eve and the apple"
And now the officials are wondering
as to that particular laborer. They
can't quite figure him out. AS one OF
them said:
I'm not just sure whether the boy
was trying to make fun Of our system
or whether he was merely showing
how bright he was"

Wanted His Moneys Worth.-Ap'

Of living, Senator Root said in New
York, according to the Buffalo News
And many Of us can remember the
time when a youth could get gooc
board at 81 a week in all our principa
cities.
There's a good story that woulc
sound strange today-a story abou
two country lads who shared a room
in a comfortable New York boarding
house.
Their first day in their new quar-
ters one of the lads muttered to tht
other during dinner:
Take plenty of apple sauce witt
your duck, Silas-s3.75 is no joke"

and he Is not any nearer the senate
today than he was the day Of his ap-
pointment.
Covert attacks have been made on
the state warehouse system through
McLaurin, and since Governor Manning
has announced that he will assist Com
missioner McLaurin to make the sys-
tenn stronger and more perfect these
attacks have grown in intensity
The Herald is not defending Nc
Laurin, but it does feel called upon to
defend the state warehouse system
from these attacks which are calcu-
lated to prejudice the public against
the movement for a warehouse sys-
tenn that will guarantee the farmer
greater measure of protection.
We are for the farmer first, last and
all the time because we sincerely be-
lieve that Of all the industries Of the
country that need the support of the
press that of agriculture needs it
most. It Is the basis Of all wealth and
to fight any movement that will help
the farmers is to strike blow at the
very industry on which this country
depends for it's prosperity.
The fact that McLaurin, Blease,
Smith, Jones, Brown or any other per-
son you care to name is representing
South Carolina in the United States
senate does not mean half as much
to us as an advance Of 20 points in the
price Of cotton. The fact that either
Of these gentlemen is representing
South Carolina in the United States
senate is not going to add to or take
from the wealth Of any South Caro-
lima farmer as much as a shilling.
But on the other hand, If Commits
sioner McLaurin can perfect a state
warehouse system that will standard
ize grades and make the farmer inde-
pendent of the cotton speculator and
exporter he will have done more for
his people than any public man has
done in half a century, and IL the
people want to reward him by sending
him to the senate he will not do us
any more harm or any more good up
there than any other man we could
send.
But let's don't mix the state ware
house system with politics. So far as
we can see there is no connection be-
tween the two. We don't care a
razzle-dazzle what McLaurin's inten-
tions are just so he succeeds in max
ing the state warehouse system what
it ought to be. Or in other words, the
time has come for we South Carolini-
ans-those Of us who want to keep up
with the procession-to reverse the
time-honored principle that If busi-
ness interferes with politics, cut out
the business.-Dillon Herald.
