London dispatches say that re-
cruiting is going on more briskly
throughout England right now than at
any previous time during the war.
The explanation is that eligibles de-
sire to avoid conscriptiOn. Since the
beginning of the war; the British peo-
pie have been reluctant to enlist in
sufficient numbers to satisfy those in
charge Of the matter Of raising the
necessary armies. The matter was
taken in charge by Lord Derby who,
after strenuous efforts to secure vol
untary enlistments, and falling to
bring the number up to requirements,
announced that there would be no
conscription until after last Saturday
if at all. and whether there should
he conScription then. would depend
upon results in the meantime. During
the week previous to last Saturday the
recruiting offices were crowded to
such an extent that it was impossible
for the staffs to take care Of them:
so it was decided to extend the time
until tomorrow. Dispatches represent
every recruiting station in England as
crowded with applicants for enlist
ment. AS to whether conscription will
at last be resorted to has not yet been
announced.

Gigantic guns mounted on motar
trucks or railway cars probably will
be added to the country's coast de-
fense system as a result Of expert
ments now being made by army ord
nance experts. 1t was learned last Fri
day says a Washington dispatch, that
scheme is being worked out con-
templating the establishment of mo-
bile batteries to protect stretches OF
coast line not commanded by the per-
manent Notifications built or to be
recommended. Part Of the $S0,000,-
900 expenditure fer coast defenses in
cluded in the administrations program
may be devoted to this work. The Eu-
ropean war has demonstrated that
high power guns can be used as mo-
bile weapons, such guns as the Ger
man AZ centimeter howitzer having
revolutionized land warfare by the
easy reduction of forts believed i'm
pregnable. The experiments are to de-
termine how big a gun can be ef-
fectively transported and transferred
from its carriage to concrete
foundation. Consideration is being
given to IL inch, IA inch, 16 inch and
even larger weapons.

D'Arnot's had left him.
Two days after they sat beneath the
shade Of great tree, and Tarzan
found some smooth bark that they
might converse.
D'Arnot wrote:

that you have done for me?
Tarzan wrote in reply:
Teach me to speak the language OF
men.
And so D'Arnot commenced at once,
pointing out familiar objects and re-
peating their names in French, for he
thought that it would be easier to
teach this man his own language, since
he understood 1t himself best or all.
1t meant nothing to Tarzan, OF

was taught to pronounce ape "singe"

He was a most eager student and In

difficult to teach the French con-

OUR TRADE WITH INDIA
She Has the Market, We Have the
Goods. but NEGLECT the Opportunity.

she HaS the Market, we nave the
Goods, but Neglect the Opportunity.
Now that exports from Germany. and
Austria to India have been stopped by
the war it is interesting to see how
few American manufactures have
grasped this rare opportunity Of in
PRODUCING American goods to market
which is rapidly expanding and with
which we are comparatively unfamili-
ar.
During the past ten years India
practically doubled the value Of her
imports, and yet in that same period
exports from the United States to
India showed an increase Of only 25
per cent. The United States now sup
plies about one-fortieth of the mer-
chandise imported by India.
The ever growing Indian market for
foreign goods should be particularly
tempting to American manufacturers
owing to it's demand for the very
goods that are extensively produced in
the United States. In 1894, India
imported engineering products, all
kinds Of machinery, iron, steel, rail-
way plants, motor cars, etc: clothing,
worth nearly $136,360,000, including
haberdashery millinery. boots and
shoes, to the value of s15,559,S5O; while
the imports Of patent foods. biscuits,
canned and bottled goods, condensed
milk, patent medicines, soap, cigarettes
and beer amounted to s13.529,12O.
Japan, which for some years has
enjoyed close commercial contact with
India, has not overlooked the present
opportunity to advance her industries
and has already made an apparently
successful effort to obtain the larger
beer trade which was formerly con-
trolled by Germany.
Can 1t be that United States mer-

COL. JIM SMITH DEAD
Georgia Farmer, One Of Richest Men
Of that State.

Of that State.
The death Of Hon. James M. Smith
at his home in Smithsonia, removed
from the stage Of action one Of the
most successful Of Georgians and one
Of the states most unique characters
says an Atlanta dispatch Of Tuesday.
He had reached almost to the four
score mark and during his long life
had accumulated one Of the largest
fortunes in the state. He was prim-
arily a farmer and the greater part
Of his wealth was dug out Of the
ground in Ogelthorpe and Madison
counties where his large farm Of more
than twenty thousand acres was To-
Gated.
He had at various times served the
state as a member Of the general as
sembly and at various Democratic
conventions he had been a delegate
from Georgia. His interest In political
affairs in the state was always lively
one.
He always manifested deep inter-
est in educational affairs and several
years since gave ten thousand dollars
toward the erection Of the James M
Smith Hall at the State Normal
school.
He believed in his state and section
and quite a large portion Of his money
was invested in a number Of splendid
industries in Athens and throughout
the state.
AS q farmer he achieved great sue.
cess and demonstrated what could be
done on a Georgia farm in the way OF
better production Of crops and the
accumulation Of more than COM
potency.
He was a strong, rugged Georgian
not without faults. springing from
comparative poverty, struggling
against adversely and mastering many
difficult problems.

A New Worlds champion.-In the
livery stables of Kansas, Missouri
Iowa and Nebraska; in the alleys and
the barbershops Of the Missouri valley
the praises Of Frank Johnson, cham
pion Of champions, are being sounded
He has taken home the golden shoes
He has met and vanquished the cham
pions Of many cities and Of many
states. In Kansas, Of which he Is q
native, he is greater than Jess Will
lard.
And why shouldn't he be? He met
at Kansas City the pick Of the world
in tournament and won "a out Of 25
games in the great American pastime
of pitching horseshoes! In the one
game that he failed 1t was by SO mar
row margin that had the shoe Topped
to the right instead Of to the left his
score would have been perfection.
To appreciate Jackson's form you
have to know that he shot ninety-sey
ringers. That's averaging four ringers
to the game. The highest average pos
sible Is six ringers-a mark never
made unless back in the olden Grecian
days when Socrates and Euripides
were tossing quoits.
Baseball has been called the great
American game. Possibly 1t Is but
in not a few parts Of the Union pitch
in the shoes" runs 1t a close second II
1t does not exceed it in popularity.
What a somnolent town would do
without a game Of pitch Is narrowing
to contemplate. Men who would not
rise from a cracker box in a village
store to see a fire have been known to
show life and animation when a game
at the shoes was In progress. The
earth has been SCARED perhaps In a
million or more places in these United
States where the horseshoes have fall
len near or around the stake and 1t
will be SCARED millions Of times more
before "pitchin' goes out Of fashion
America has produced many great
horseshoe pitchers but never one to
equal Frank Jackson. He deserves
much from the people Of the middle
west. He has given something to the
men to talk about in the long winter
nights other than the war-Com-

THE EISENHOWER CASE

Newspaper Comment on Verdict Of q

trial.s Five witnesses solemnly swore
that (they saw Isenhower fire the
shots that killed Deputy Boulware.
Yet 3 York county jury cleared him,

the majesty Of the law! But, what

Tho Tournament.

Our quiet little town is all agog with
excitement this (Tuesday) morning;
for the tournament-the grand tourna.
ment-the long expected tournament
is to come off at last; and all the
small boys in town are agape at the
sight Of knights in real armor, ladies
in royal robes" etc.
The thing passed off with great
eclat; the riding was superb; the
knights were clad in fine costume and
were full Of enthusiasm; the attend
ance large and interested. The fol-
lowing knights took part in the tour
nee:
T. A. Lipsey, knight Of Ravenwood
John Gallagher, knight Of the Lone
Star.
Edward Wylie, knight OF Lookout
Mountain.
Jas. Lowry, knight Of Kings Noun
tain.
Edward Atkinson, knight of the
Forest.
Chas. Alexander, knight of Ivan
hoe.
John A. Bradley. Jr, knight OF
Dixie.
Jas Caldwell, knight Of Argyle.
Dawson Heath, knight Of st. John
VIM. Holly. knight Of Ellersile.
Robert Love, knight Of the Golden
Fleece.
F. Pagan, unknown knight.
VIM. Reed, knight Of the Highlands
John Stringfellow, knight of Snow
den.--.-s.-s-.--.s - - '~---as-
Samuel Walker, knight Of the Black
Prince.
Fred Walker, the Highland knight.
C. c. Mccoy, knight Of the Alham-
bra.
The four first named knights were
decreed by the judge, to be the most
successful in the tilt, though their vic
tory was closely contested by Messrs
Atkinson, Bradley, caldwell and 9TH
ers, and was only decided after re-
peated trials.
The knight Of the Alhambra acted
as herald, and his elegant costume ex-
cited great attention.
Mr.. Roberts, as marshal Of the day,
was very efficient in preserving per-
feet order and decorum.
Not a single accident Of any kind
occurred to mar the pleasures Of the
day, and the tournament is conceded
by all to have been a perfect success.
Tonight the following young ladies
will be crowned at the Thespian hall:
Miss Carrie Alexander, queen OF
Love and Beauty.
Miss Annie Brawley, 1st maid OF
honor; Miss Amanda Lowry, End maid
Of honor: Miss Jane Wylie. srd maid
Of honor.
The entertainment will probably be
one Of the most brilliant ever known
in this part Of the country. All praise
is due to the ladies whose kind hearts
first conceived, and whose energy has
so successfully consummated this
splendid entertainment for so noble an
object; and to the gentlemen who have
so handsomely aided them.

172ND INSTALLMENT.

Thursday Morning, Feb. 6, 1862
Sudden Deaths.
The coroner had busy time on
Saturday last. An old negro man,
while riding through town on a mule,
had some sort Of g. fit, and fell OF
dead. Another unfortunate Of the same
color-an old woman-was frozen to
death on Friday night. 1t Is sad to
think Of the numbers Of these poor
creatures that are in a state Of abso-
lutte destitution and misery.

Solicitor Hill: "Over here In York
we do things different from the way
they do in Spartanburg."-Rock Hill
Recopn.
The jury is the principal instrument
throug gh which the people rule. By
means Of the jury the people exercise
the power Of life and death over them
selves It is right and q power not
second to the ballot. Juries sometimes
make mistakes but, in the long run,
in free American states, they do JUS
tice. The correctness or the error Of
jury Herdicts is usually in proportion
to thS development Of a sense Of JUS
tice among the people. Anyway, we
depend in the main on the juries to
preserve law and order and civilization
and these three can be no better than
are the juries that ascertain truth and
decide questions Of guilt or innocence
There are extraordinary circumstances
in which a newspaper may with pro-
priety criticize the verdict Of jury,
but II should do so with caution and
restraint. The State has nothing to
say about the verdict lately rendered
in York. We have unshaken faith that
so long as cases in the criminal courts
shall be left to the juries Of South
Carolina there will be steady progress
in the enforcement Of law and the
protection of life and property. In
reference with the verdicts Of juries
whether by newspapers, executives or
citizens is a profound menace to pub
lie safety. Were Governor Manning to
assume the privilege Of reversing, In
other than extraordinary circumstan-
ces, the verdicts that the people render
through their juries the liberty Of the
people would be imperiled and the
peace and civilization Of the state
would be seriously affected. 1t were
far better to abolish the office OF gov
ernor than to impair the office OF the
jury. The State has greater respect
for the office Of the juryman than 1t
has for the governorship. A substi-
tute for the governorship might be
found; we can conceive Of none for
the jury and 1t behooyes the people
that it be held sacred.-Columbia
State.
