HID ART TREASURES IN RIVER.
BclgianS, 1t is Said, Put Masterpiece
in Waterproof Containers.

There have been many reports
since the Germans invaded Belgium
regarding the places to which the
country's priceless art treasures were
taken for safety.
According to a statement made to-
day by a person who enjoyed the
condolences of Belgian officials, a
number Of masterpieces formerly in
Antwerp were sunk in the river
Scheldt in waterproof containers be-
fore the city was taken by the Ger
mans. This informant said it was
rumored that Ruben's Descent From
the Cross" one of the most celebrat-
ed masterpieces, was at the bottom
of the Scheldt.
Germans, it is asserted, were bill
leted in some of the art galleries.
1t had been believed that many
famous paintings were brought to
England for safekeeping.

German Secret Service.

For many years past Germany has
been spending on her secret service
between $3,000,000 and 100000
annually, that is to say, about five
times as much as France and from
- to Is times as much as Great
Britain. The purpose to which these
funds are mainly devoted is the es-
tablishment and maintenance of
spies at fixed posts IN potentially hos
tile countries, says a writer in the
Atlantic. In France, where this
smothered warfare has been waged
most persistently, it can best be
studied. The principal agents are
rarely Germans. They are as a rule
Swiss, Belgians and Alsatians, with
sprinkling of corrupt Frenchmen.
If they are Germans, then they has
ten to take out naturalization papers
and to make themselves conspicuous
by protestations of loyalty to the
land of their adoption. But in all
cases they are instructed to disguise
their operations under forms of or
dinary business. They follow their
calling just like everybody else in
the locality. They attract no notice,
either by having too much money or
too little Their businesses are
soundly established and are in keep
ing with requirements of the neigh
borhood. The expenses of starting
them are borne out of the secret ser
vice funds, and from the same source
the deficits, if any, in the annual
balance sheet, are made good. The
man in charge Identifies himself with
the life around him, sits on COM
mittees, makes as many friends as
possible, subscribes generously to
local charities, and not infrequently
gets himself elected to some minor
office Chicago Record.

DAY OF THE QUILL PEN.
When Writing Paper Was Poor and
Envelopes Were Unknown.

The constant mending required by
Quill pens must have proved severe
trial in the days when no Others were
available, SAYS the London Chronicle.
Alexander l.. of Russia. thought
it necessary to employ man whose
sole duty consisted in cutting pens.
He was required to have a supply OF
not less than 100 quills always
ready.
This number was by no means eX-
cessive. for Alexander would never
use the same pen twice. Even the
writing of a signature spoiled pen,
in his opinion, for subsequent use.
The quill cutter, who received sala-
ry of $40 pounds year, accompanied
the czar on all his Journeys, includ-
ing campaigns against Napoleon.
Writing implements changed con-
sidefably for the better during Sir
Walter Gilbey's long spell of life.
Though quill pens are still in use.
he remarks in his "RecollectionS OF
Seventy Years. Il remember the
time when one seldom saw any other
kind. Steel pens in their early days
were expensive and i'll made. and few
people used them. The paper we
had seventy years ago may have been
partly to blame 1t had neither the
substance nor the surface we take
as a matter of course nowadays.
Il remember when envelopes came
into use, and what a boon they were
considered after the old system OF
closing letters with waters or wax.
Before envelopes, we're invented let
ters were always written with an
eye to the position of the wafer or
seal. blank space being left to cor
respond with the space where this
would be put on the outside, lest the

An IntroSpectiOn.

Every reader of daily paper
which pays some attention to its eX-
changes knows that frequently gems
of editorial thought are discovered
in the pages of the weekly press.
South Carolina can boast large
number of country weeklies" which
frequently present to their readers
editorial observations that may we'll
produce envy in the sanctums OF
some of the dailies.
Presumably. the Moulton (Ala.)
Advertiser is a weekly newspaper.
Whether it is or not. it has recently
presented to it's readers in that State
an antithethical description Of some
of the mistakes made by the people
of Alabama. which is worthy of the
notice of every Southern man. While
the editor of the Moulton paper re-
fers to Alabama alone, a glance at
his indictment of that State will show
that it applies with equal force to
South Carolina and to every other
Southern State. Here is the way
Alabamians do, as this editor says:
We throw away water and buy
whiskey.
We raise rats and buy corn.
We throw away ashes and buy
soap.
We raise hickory bark and buy
rope.
We raise dogs and buy hogs.
We raise wood and buy coal.
We raise corn and buy bread.
We raise ticks and buy beef.
We raise weeds and buy vegeta-
bles.
We raise molasses and buy sugar.
We raise cotton and buy clothes.
We raise hookworms and flies to
kill people.
We raise cotton seed to kill our
hogs.
We raise San Jose scale, Goblin
moth and bark louise to kill our fruit
trees and buy fruit.
We raise black berries but are too
lazy to pick them.
We build school houses but we
send our children abroad to school.
We send our boy out to hunt with
a $40 gun and a $40 dog after 10
cent game. and they cry hard times.
Do you understand.
OF course we understand. But we
will 60 on doing these very same
foolish things until our people learn
better how to conserve the really
wonderful resources Of this favored
region, and how to diversity the
products we bring forth. We do not
know when this lessen will be learn
ed but the war in Europe has open
ed some eyes to the short-sighted
policy that Southern farmers have
been pursuing. 1t can only be hoped
that the lesson will be thoroughly
learned.-Spartanburg Journal.

The Bamberg, Ehrhardt and Wal
terboro railroad has already proved
to be a great convenience to the peo-
pie. During court weeks the road
handled passengers from Ehrhardt
and intervening points to Bamberg
and while the Accommodations offered
were perhaps not quite up to the
standard roads. it was found to be
quite superior to riding through the
country.
