HOW LONG DOES LOVE LAsT7

Fen in the happiest choice, wher,

The prize OF happiness must still be won
OFT the careless find 1t to their cost.
There are people, and supposedly
people OF good sense at that, who be.
lieve that love is a plant, which is in.
~destructible; that you can slight 1t or
nurture 1t, fondle or abuse 1t, but moth.
ing a alter or kill 1t.
There never was a greater mistake.
Love Is only strong as 1t Is fed and
coddled. 1t can be made to grow wings
or 1T can be hoofed or horned, accord
ing to the atmosphere In which 1t
lives. There never was a daintier
plant than love. 1t is like the down
on the harebell. One rude jar may
scatter 1t to the four winds Of the
earth. Love depends upon kindness,
sympathy and appreciation. 1t is i'm
possible for the wife to keep on lov-
ing the husband who Is rude in words,
brutal in action, tantalizing, stingy.
Disgust for the husband who makes
O household drudge and slave of her

in the heart of a wife.
Nor a a husbands love, no mat

constant nagglng Of a wife or her

With a rightly.mated pair, true love

er. When either begins to weary of
the society OF the other, 1t Is the fore
runner Ct loves decay. How long 1t
will last after this sets in is a matter
OF endurance. Very often a loving
word from the lips Of either would
turn the tide. 1t is unfortunate that
those who have loved truly are often
too proud to make the first overtures.
1t is not beneath a wife's dignity to
mako the first advances. She should
not forget how sweet and gentle she
vas to him In the days Of their court
ship. Even a man who is Indifferent
to a wife cannot help having a kind
lier regard for her If, after a morn
ing's row, he returns hcne, expecting
to renew thu wordy battle and in
stead Is net by her with outstretched
hands, a smile on her lips and the
murmured words: Il am going to for

ness, dear. Let's begin our loving all

have a heart Of adamant to refuse
such a plea.
The outstretched hands of husband
and wife ccul easily bridge over the
chasm so wide and so deep that no
human power can span 1t from n
heart to the other. Love lasts only as
lcng as hearts are kind, true and al.
fectionate. Lovers should make the
compact ere stepping to the altar
that, after wedlock, the sun should
never set on them, finding them in an
ger with each other. AS the years
pass, they will cling closer to each
1t rests solely with each couple
who plight their troth how long theii
love will last.

VAUGHN WILL FACE
JURY IN JANUARY
The Greenyille Court Adjourned With
out Taking Up Case Which
Was Set For Wednesday.

News and Courier.
Columbia, Nov. lit. .. Vaughn,
who was sentenced to be electrocuted
for criminal assault alleged to have
been committed while he was superin-
tendent of the Odd Fellows Orphan
home, near Greenville, will be tried
for his sanity before Greenville coun-
ty Jury in January. The sanity trial
OF Vaughn was set for yesterday, but
the court of general session for Green
vile county adjourned yesterday with
out taking up the Vaughn case and he
will face a jury next January.
Vaughn is confined in the state pen
itentiary, where he has been constant
" ever since his conviction in 1913. He
fought his case through the state
courts and up through the United
States supreme court, but all con-
firmed the sentence of electrocution.
When he was taken back to Green
vile some weeks ago to be re-sen-
fenced to death the judge, on the show
ing made, ordered that the question OF
Vaughn's sanity should be referred to
a jury and no further steps in his
case will be taken until jury returns
a verdict as to whether he is sane or
insane.
Vaughn has been apparently insane
for some months, and it is said that he
sits in the state penitentiary without
SAYING a word to any one and with
vacant look on his face. He is said to
be nearly physical wreck, and many
strong men incline to the belief that&e
has become insane since his conTlc-
ton Others think ne is simply feign-
ing insanity in the hope Of escaping the
electric chanr and being sent to the
state hospital for the insane. That
Vaughn is sane was neld by a noted
alienist of Maryland, who examined
him while here last spring.

KITCHEN DECLARES 1T WILL
SHOCK WHOLE WORLD
House Leader VIII Oppose Mr.. vii.
sons Defense Program But Ex-
poets 1t to be Carried.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Representa-
tive Claude Kitcnin, majority leader
Of the house, who opposes the admins
tration national defense program, has
declared to constituent his belief that
it will succeed by an overwhelming
majority"
In letter written to-day by Repre-
sentative Kitchin to Charles L. Coon of
Wilson N. c., the new majority leader
says:
"I shall oppose the big army and
navy program with all the earnestness
and power I possess. However, my
fear is that the president will push
it through by an overwhelming ma
jority. In the first place, practically
all the Republicans will vote for it.
In the second place, although l know
that the convictions of four-ffths OF
the Democrats are opposed to it, many
of tnem-I fear large majority-will
fling away their convictions On this
question to please the president and do
his will, as 1 have seen them do it on
two or three occasions before"
Will Shock World.
Representative Kitchin declares that
the program "at one bound, in ole
year, increases our naval appcopria-
ton more tnan our total increase foN
the last fourteen years; more THAI
increase by Germany the whole
years preceding the European
more than the combined
the nations of the world
year of their history"
The North Carolina cd
asserts that "this sudden,
stupendous move for war
is going to shock the civ
and, whatever the outcome
ent war, will alarm the
into an armed camp"

Appliances and Equipment

The furniture, appliances and equip
ment of this building, as has been stat
ed before, could be supplied by school
furniture people,who would either lend
it, or give it outright. The furniture
should be sucn as is suitable for rural
schools, and of the latest sanitary de-
sign. The equipment should include
all appliances and conveniences, such
as sanitary fountains, heating and ven
tilating systems, model library and
manual training and domestic science
apparatus.
Under the direction of Winthrop col
lege the domestic science and house
hold arts department should be shown.
For want of space in the three-room
building, this would necessarily be
simple, unless, as suggested above,
provision is made when the building
is erected for this department. Prep
aration of school lunches and of sim
pie home meals might be shown, and
the elements of domestic science dem
onstrated The manual training also,
under the direction of Winthrop col
lege, would necessarily be restricted,
but could be none the less instructive
and attractive.

4 GREtT EDUCATIONAL FAIR
How to Bring a Hundred Thousand
People Together.
Southern School News.

~
Fer many months We have been con-
sidering plan by which the State Fair
association, in conjunction with the
state department of education, can
bring together in Columbia thousands
of the school officials, teachers, pupils
and patrons of the state. Columbia
can be made the Mecca Of all the edu-
cational forces in South Carolina. me
plan briefly outlined below mas ve~n
discussed with some of the officials OF
the State fair, who have received l:
favorably, and with the state superin-
tendent of education, who approves the
spirit of it and would gladly confer
with the State fair officials as to the
suggestion for the betterment of the
fair and improvement Of the schools o.:
South Carolina. 1t is too early to sug-
gest more than tentative outline. All
details can be worked out later.
Cooperation.
Success in this undertaking will rS
quire the active participation and un-
selfish cooperation of all Of the de-
partments, institutions and organiza-
tions now doing such excellent work
in creating greater interest in better
schools and improved rural conditions.
THE cooperation and active interest
Of the county superintendents Of edu-
cation is yitally necessary and essen
tial, but, knowing the progressive char
acter of the men who fill these posi-
tions, We believe that they will take
hold with energy and enthusiasm, and
insure the success of the undertaking.
Model Building.
The central attraction suggested in
our plan is model rural school with
beautiful and attractive surroundings
Educational, entertaining and inspir.
ing features may be introduced.
We would suggest for the school
house a model three-roon building
with auditorium, and with provision
for industrial work This building
should be all that the word model"
implies. 1t could be erected according
to plans approved by the state board
of education, and furnished through the
co operation of Clemson college under
the immediate supervision Of Prof. R
E. Lee, head of the department OF
drawing. it is probable that consid-
cradle part of the material would be
furnished free by public-spirited man
ufacturers of material needed for such
work For instance, the roof might be
furnished by the manufacturer of some
standard brand of roofing material;
the paint by some good firm Of paint
maker:;and aImosf surely the school
furniture people would do their part
towards supplying the necessary
eQuirment for the school room. This
building should be made the last word
in beauty and utility inside and out.
4Gl Of the surroundings of this build
ing should be good. Attractive ana
artistic grounds with grass, shrubbery
shade trees, fower-bordered walks
The Fairgrounds, however. with SIM
pie apparatus, would produce almost
the model school ground. To make q
c,editable showing this will probably
require the use of about six acres Of
.a-d.
