End Is Not Yet.-Horace Greedy,
writing many years before the civil
war, told Of a general accosting one Of
his soldiers after a victorious battle.
The soldier was standing by his gun
and seemed to be in deep thought.
What are you thinking Of, my good
fellow" asked the general.
II am thinking" replied the soldier.
that for all the blood have this day
shed, my pay is sixpence."
The comment Of Gree!y was as fol-
lows: When that way Of thinking
shall become general, the trade Of mil
itary Hero will have waxed old and be
ready to perish
That time has evidently not been
reached yet. Now, after three-fourths
Of a century, we see that the nations
rise up and shed the blood Of other ma
tions and the pay seems not to be
even the "sixpence."

"wHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT

Perfection Of the Telephone Has Pro.
dueed Wonderful Change.
Seventy years ago last May, the
first message to be sent over the tele-
phone line, passed between the
rooms Of the supreme court at Wash
ington and the city Of Baltimore.
What hath God wrought" was its
impressive purport. That was the
germ and prophecy Of wonderful
development that brought together
the ends Of the earth on a promptly
communicable basis. But wonders
like that prepare the way for more
intimate If not greater wonders. The
test given to the long-distance tele-
phone on Monday from number OF
different points makes a powerful ap-
peal to the imagination. Will not the
time come, and that in the not dis
tant future, when friend can talk
with friend directly from any point
upon the civilized world? The result
of this test showed conquest Of OBJ
stacles that went far to take such
worldwide expansion out Of the
range Of vision. Between Boston and
New York, the capital Of the country
and other eastern points, messages
were exchanged with San Francisco.
From Jeky Island, President Vail OF
the telephone company cut in and his
voice travelled clear and distinct
distance Of 4,750 miles and the reply
was equally satisfactory.
Forty years ago or more there was
manifest a growing lack Of sympathy
and common interests between the
two coasts of the country. The peo-
pie stood with their backs to one
another. Then came the construc-
ton Of the transcontinental railroads.
They were built ostensibly In the
name of commerce and for develop
ment purposes and this mission has
been splendidly carried out. But they
comprised a still more vital achiev-
ment. They produced a swift inter-
change of business dealing and
friendly offices. We were no longer
remote dwellers in a common coun-
try, but one family coming into con-
closer association as the IA
cilities increased and the ebb and
flow of travel in both directions gain
ed new force. These enterprises
were necessities of our nationality, a
fact which should not be ignored in
the marvellous history that the coun-
try has been making during the past
half century.-Boston Transcript.

and why it does not work. Our motion
has been all along that it did not work
because it was not intended to work.
The lawyers who made it saw to that"
If that be a true bill, we hope a
similar indictment cannot be drawn
against the land title law our legis-
lature is likely to pass at its present
session.
Our belief is that properly drawn
law on that subject will be of great
benefit to South Carolina, though 1t
will cut off largely the fees our law
yers now receive for examining titles.

For weeks a legislative committee
has lobbied for the passage Of labor
bills. Yesterday they reported to the
federation what had been done. The
whole afternoon was taken up with
the discussion of the report. Mem
bers of the committee told how, when
an important bill was called for a
reading, senators and representatives
would leave their seats.
''It wasn't the active opposition we
have had to fight so much as the
refusal of the legislators to VOTE"

For weeks the legislative commit
tees of labor-or organizations have
been following the bills through COM
mittees, subcommittee, first, second
and third readings and all of the 9TH
er sidetracks used to defeat progress
sive measures. So far not one of
these bills has been signed by the
governor. The majority of them
have been so cut and amended that
the men who have introduced them
cannot recognize them. The COM
mittee is considering holding a meet
ing after the present session of the
legislature to discuss the attitude of
certain legislators toward the bills
which they had promised to support.
The committee also urged the dele
gates to support the anti-injunction
bill which is now before the senate.

Use CARE TO MAKE TRIP

With the new game law which pro-
hibits the shooting OF game from an
automobile now in force, the question
was asked OF State Warden Oates
whether the new law will permit hun
ters to travel in their automobiles TO
hunting grounds and carly their guns
without fear of arrest. In answering.
Mr.. Oates stated that hunters need
have no fear OF arrest If they travel
on the road in their automobiles with
their guns. providing they do not use
their automobiles to pursue or worry
game. or shoot game from their cars.
The ruling OF the state department
on this question Is as follows
automobiles may be used to trans
port hunters to hunting grounds but
must not be used in any manner that
could be construed to be an act OF
