Do Not Be a Miser

The Marion Star gives the
following good advice to those
of us who are inclined to be
misery:
If YOU will recall that there
will be no pockets in your shroud
you will most probably loosen
up a little on that change. Enjoy
some of it now-that boy OF
yours will blow it after you have
,cashed in. anyway. The very
streets in Heaven are paved
with gold, and no matter how
much you lay aside down here
you will be a simple piker up
there if you depend on your roll
TO give you prominence. Think
this over, brother.

F-4 Slowly is Being Raised.

Washington, May 13.-Secre-
tary Daniels has just received
mail advices from Admiral
Moore, commandant of the
naval station at Honolulu, re-
garding the progress of salvage
operations on the submarine E-4
between April 2l and the 10Th,
to date of the communication.
The admiral reports that the
F-4 had been raised to depth
of about "a feet and moved ap-
proximately 12O feet nearer
shore when one of the cables
under the stern parted. The
cable was replaced an prepara-
tions were made for continuing
the work when the other cable
also parted. 1t was then decided
to splice the broken cables,
shackle them to chain cables
and pass them under the sub.
marine. This necessarily caused
delay. In the meantime it had
been planned to send a diver
down to examine the submarine
with view to connecting with
the salvage valve SO as to force
air into the submarine to tighten
her. Up to the date of mailing
report, however, it had been
found impossible for diving
operations owing to the rough
ness of the sea.

The Kaiser Laughed

Among the officers who re-
semble the Kaiser, Wilhelm II,
is a young captain who has
prodigious talent of imitation,
says The Paris New Review.
Some months before the war
this captain found himself in a
ball of the imperial palace at
Potsdam. He was there with
others of his friends who were
officers, and began an imitation
of the Kaiser with extraordinary
precision in tone, quality of
voice. gesture and appearance.
All at once a terrible 81
Wilhelm II had arrived in the
hall. The officers saluted res
pectfully and remained motion
less.
"Very we'll 90 on! said the
Kaiser, addressing the captain.
II did not know you had this
talent"
The officer hesitated a mo-
ment. then extending his arm
and reproduing the intonation
of his sovereign, cried in a
strong voice:
Captain, you should be
chased out Of the army, but in
consideration Of your youth and
because | know you to be Il
worthy and brave soldier, l par
don you."
The Kaiser laughed, and the
captain was not punished.

Lexington Dispatch.
When a school boy or school
girl goes through a whole terms
of school and is not tardy a
single time and is not absent a
single day, the achievement is
worthy of mention. In fact, it
generally gets mentioned in the
newspapers. but how about a
girl who has not missed a single
day from school in nine long
years and who, in all that time,
has not even been tardy once?
That's a record that can't be beat
anywhere in the land and it is
held by little Miss Cornelia
Conrad of this city. She is a
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. D. F.
Conrad and she is as bright as a
new dollar. She keeps close to
the head of her class all the
time.

who got an unobstructed view
of the tornado say it looked like
big black funnel, with the apex
toward the ground, and was
moving as rapidly as a fast tram.
The storm seemed here to rise
above the ground, and continue
its course up in the air. 1t is said
to have dipped down and done
some damage in the Sneads
Grove section dozen or fifteen
miles further on. Considerable
damage was done that afternoon
by a storm at Sanford, n. c.,
about 60 miles northeast of Glib

The Nature of Tornados.
Pee Dee Advocate.

Pee Dee Advocate.
Scientists say that tornado
cyclones are caused by warm
winds moving northward near
the ground, and cooler winds
blowing eastward higher UP In
the air. Warm air rising into
the cooler current causes a
whirl, producing a whirlwind,
tornado or cyclone, which are
all about the same except in
size These storms aywavs
whirl from right to left, or oppo.
site from the hands of watch
in the northern hemisphere, and
usually move in a north east
direction. South of the equator
they move south east and turn
with the hands of watch.
That the tornado or cyclone
in this county Friday whirled
from right to left can easily be
seen from the fact that buildings
and trees on the eastern edge
of the storm fell backward. or
toward the south and west.
The buildings at the county
home fell the opposite way from
the general course of the lorna. l..
DO, while those at T. f McCalps
place fell in the direction of the
storm. Objects in the center of
the storms path fell northwest.
1t they were blown down by the
advance edge Of the tornado.
But if they stood till the rear
edge struck them, and then feel,
they were thrown southeast
That is why, in some places
trees fell IN opposite directions.
In the center of the torn ado is
a partial vacuum caused by the
centrifugal force of the whirline
wind. This has great suction
power and lifts objects upward
and carries them for long dis.
tances sometimes before thew
are released. A tornado on the
ocean lifts great volumes of
water and produces a water.
spout. This suction force is
probably what helped save SO
many lives. Buildings were
lifted from the floors and over
the heads of the occupants. The
vacuum IN the center of the
storm also causes great expan.
Slve force in the air shut up in
buildings, and this tended TO
throw the walls outward, If is
that leaving doors and windows
open will prevent the explosion

Keep the Joy of Play in Your
Heart.

heart the JOY of play has gone.
Pity more the boy or girl whose
innocent games are discouraged,
frowned upon, and decried as in
Ventions of the devil. The
man or woman whose heart
isn't gladdened by the shouts of
pure JOY from the playground,
who doesn't see, in the friendly
rivalry and human contact that
games afford, one of our surest
and safest means of aiding in
the physical and spiritual growth
of the child-such a person has
indeed bad perspective from
which to view and aid in the
development of those qualities
of heart, head and hand out of
which true citizenship is built.
Unalterably do we believe
that onlv out of hard labor are
the best things of life to come.
But we would have our boys
play hard that they may work
hard; learn to laugh and sing
that they may smile on and sing
on when Lies knocks are hard
est. The man with a cheery
smile when things go wrong,
the man with the grit to get up
and 60 again when he is
downed, the man who knows
that it is not winning or losing
that matters so much as how
one fights or works or plays
this is the man who wins the
durable things in life. And the
man who as a boy has learned
to play hard as we'll as work
hard is more likely to be such a
man.
Somehow we cannot but be-
lieve, even May and June when
farm work is most pressing, that
the boy who follows a plow or
cultivator from Monday morn
ting TO Saturday Ioon. hes .estah.
lished a right to SATURDAY. after
noon off. Wise then is the
daddy who gives him this half
holiday, and wiser still the daddy
who encourages the neighber-
hood ball game, instead OF
letting the boy spend the after
noon in town under question
able surroundings and with
questionab1y associates.
We don't believe there ought
to be a rural community in all
the South without its baseball
in summer and football and
basketball in winter. The time
is fast coming, too, when the
whole neighborhood will take a
deep interest in its athletic teams
and will turn out en- masse a,
the field day contests that are
going to prove great factor in
rounding out our future com
munity life. Isn't it our duty to
encourage such wholesome
things2 Isn't it our business as
fathers and citizens to foster
that which will add to the hap
piness and permanence of oul
rural life?

serving our neutrality when we

Pee Dee Tornado Was Very
Destructive.

The Pee Dee Advocate, of
Bennettsville published an ac-
count several columns long of
the recent tornado in Marlboro
county. From this report we
clip the following:
The tornado which passed over
Marlboro seems to have started
about the Wateree river, and
passed across the upper parts of
Sumter, Lee, and Darlington
counties the south eastern cor
ner of Chesterfield and the CEN
ter of Marlboro. 1t damaged
property at Rembert, and north
of Bishopville and Hartsville.
and passed above Society Hill,
blowing down buildings on the
plantations of Wilson Malloy
and others, in the southern part
of Chesterfield county.
The storm crossed Pee Dee
river diagonally about a mile
above the old Society Hill
bridge, and as far as the eye can
see across the river there is a
lane of broken off trees through
the wilderness, about 200 yards
wide. The first building it
struck in Marlboro county was
tenant house on G. w. Free
mans Butler place, occupied by
Hamp Williams, colored. The
house was completely demolish-
ed, leaving nothing but the
floor. Williams and his family
of seven were in it and none of
them were hurt.
The tornado continued
through the swamp, twisting off
the trees in its path, and struck
J. Kenneth Matheson's mill pond
and his residence and settlement
gust north of the pond. Here the
greatest loss of life was wrought.
The residence of ]. Wesley Tart,
HI sons oysEsssr, 3, : was
: and their eight Children were in
the house. There was heavy
sweep of wind, a crash, and the
house was gone in a minute o,
less. Mr.. Tart's first impulse
was to look for his family. He
first saw two or three of the
children unhurt. He then found
his wife half buried in the de-
bris and badly hurt. He pull.
ed her out and then discovered
a ten penny nail stuck through
his arm with a pieceof scantline
hanging to it, and pulled it out
tie had not discovered before
that he was hurt. He found al
the children in the debris bu
two. A search revealing the
body of his Is year old daugh
ter Inez, in the woods about fifty
yards from the house, and thai
of his 4 year old son, Paul ,ovel
100 yards from the house. There
were apparently no wounds on
their bodies, and they must have
died from internal injuris. Mr.
Tart's daughter Genie was seri
ously hurt, and his daughte,
Alice less severely.
Arch P. Breeden's surrv had
brought him and his family to
the home of his dying father, in
the CITY and the colored drive,
was returning home with il
when the tornado caught him
just north of Crooked creek
The horse and driver were
thrown across the ditch and the
horse fell on his head and was
killed. The buggy was broken
IN two and the pieces scattered
The negro driver said the las1
time he saw the horse it was
turning around up in the air
and he ran till he got home
