CLUBS
 BEING ORGANIZED
Party Better Organized in Third Die vision than any Other Part of
 the Territory.

According to information in the hands of Al White, Republican terri torial organizer, that party will have Ia strong organization in the field next year, as most of the towns in Alaska have formed clubs for that purpose. In the Second division the Repub- lican club of Nome has large mem- bership. It's officers are: Dr. Chase, president; T. M. Gloves, vice-presi- dent; Chas. Milot, secretary, and O. Weaver, treasurer.
 Former Mayor Carter, of Fair
 banks, is organizing club which is
 expected to have the largest mem- bership of any club in Alaska.
 In the Third division the Repub-
 licans are better organized than in
 any other part of the territory, clubs having been organized at Mccarthy,
 Chitina, Cordova, Valdez. Seward and Anchorage. The principal officers of the clubs in this division are as fol. lows: Mccarthy: Oscar Freedman, presi- dent; Peter Johnson, vice-president:

DOG TEAM KILLED
 BY A MEFE0R|TE
Driver was 50 Feet Behind and Was Rendered Unconscious by Roar
 and Blinding Flash.

DAWSON: Three dogs driven by Andrew Johnson were killed by a giant meteorite which fell on the Yukon & White Pass Telegraph line near Nahlan station.
 Johnson was travelling behind his team a distance of 50 feet and was stunned and remained unconscious several hours.
 The meteorite made a hole 50 feet in the ground.
 Johnson has fully recovered.
 In relating his experience he says that he remembers seeing binding flash, hearing a terrific roar and then remembered nothing more until he recovered consciousness. Several parties have set out from Whitehorse with a view of recovering parts of the meteorite, or the entire rock if not too large to handle.
 Shooting stars have often been ob- |served in this section, but this is the first time on record where animals have been killed.

NEW TELEPHONES BEING INSTALLED Valdez Signal Corps will Be Enabled to Communicate with Camp
 Comfort After Today.

Acting on the recommendation or Lieut. c. A. Dougherty, in charge or the coast division of the military tel egraph and cable system, the depart ment has authorized the installation of telephone instruments at all the stations between Valdez and Fair banks.
 The service between Valdez and Camp Comfort will be inaugurated tomorrow and will be extended to Fairbanks as soon as the instruments have been installed.
 The instruments are somewhat diff ferent from the ordinary telephone receiver and transmitter, requiring stronger batteries and special appli- ances to transmit the voice over the heavy telegraph wires. The installa- tion of the telephone system will en- able stations where no operators are stationed to communicate with the nearest stations and will obviate the necessity of keeping telegraphers at all points or the line.
 Operators who are familiar with the system state that it has been in general use by the railroads operat- ing in the mountain divisions in the western states as it enabled trainmen to call up stations from points along the line where telegraph station is maintained. It is essentially a short

HOSPITALS
 REPORTED FILLED
Scarlet Fever is Epidemic Among Pupils of Public Schools and
 Buildings may be olosedt

Physicians in Alaska coast towns have been warned to keep a sharp watch for the appearance of scarlet fever and other diseases which are re- ported to be epidemic ih Juneau.
 It is reported that there is more sickness in Juneau this winter than ever before, and that the hospitals are full to overfowing with patients seeking admission. The diseases range from grippe, scarlet fever and pneumonia to typhoid fever.
 It will be remembered that few years ago every person coming to the Territory was compelled to submit to being vaccinated owing to small pox scare. The scare resulted from woman being permitted to travel to her home at Bristol Bay although she was suspected of having been subject ed to contagion. The disease did not prove to be smallpox but measles which spread among the natives re- sulting in a number of deaths.
 The epidemic of scarlet fever has attained such proportions in Juneau that the closing of the public schools until the disease is stamped out among the pupils is under considera- tion by the authorities.

A Surprise Marriage.

Editor The Times: While the
good people of this section and
many of neighboring communi-
ties were enjoying the festivities
of the annual Brown Shop picnic
on August II, and while every
body was happy and gay with
the young people chirping as
merrily as the innocent little
birds on a beautiful spring morn
ing, Dan Cupid wound his way
leisurely into the crowd, drew
his bow, and, with his unerrinp
aim, fired his arrow into the
hearts of two of our young
friends, drawing them quickly
but firmly into one.
Miss Sadie Bales and Mr..
Frederick H. Wilson, who need
no introduction to our readers,
were the victims of Cupid's s
cruelness (O. They slipped
quietly out from among the
merry-makers. drove down to
Fort Mill and were married by
Rev. E. Z. James, their own
pastor being on his vacation.

Pleasant Valleys Picnic.

Editor The Times: Pleasant
Valleys big annual picnic will
be held this year on August 81,
Friday of this week.
Pleasant Valley has had ten
farmers Institutes during the
last twelve years. This year,
owing to the decrease in the
fertilizer tag tax, Clemson is not
holding many institutes, and this
picnic will take the place Of our
annual farmers institute. We
will have this year prohibition
rally, and in addition to an
address by Mr.. John T. Green,
of Lancaster, we will probably
have addresses by DIR. Snyder
of Wexford College and DR..
George B. Cromer. of Newberry.
Lieutenant Governor Bethea has
also been invited to deliver an
address.
There will probably be other
speakers in addition to those
named above, and the prospects
are for good speeches, good
crow d and a better dinner.
Everybody is cordially invited
to bring well-filled basket.

the man no great amount of re-
gret is felt over the fact that
he has been put out of the way
for all time. There is, we
think, about as much reason for
doubt that Frank murdered Mary
Phagan after mistreating her
horribly as there is for believing
that white is black or that red
is green. The great mistake
was made when Governor Slaton
outraged decency by committing
Franks sentence to life i'm
prisonment. Ii Slaton had been
the man the people of Georgia

The Columbia boosters" who
were scheduled to visit Rock Hill
today in behalf of a trade cam
paign they are promoting for the
business interests of the capital
city are long on gasoline to say
the least. They seem to have it
to burn. The Rock Hill people
doubtless were glad to get ac-
quainted with the Columbia folk
and it goes without saying that
they were cordially received and
courteously treated in the good
town." but that is far from say
ing that any considerable amount
of trade will be diverted from
Rock Hills own business houses
to those of Columbia. The truth
is that Rock Hill people do not
have to go away from home to
have their every day wants
filled and those are the most
important wants and the ones
which count for most IN dollars
and cents after all. Except the
fact that Columbia is larger in
population than Rock Hill, there
is little more to be said as to the
difference between the towns.

The English.


tory of England" written per-
haps three-fourths of a century
ago, there is a paragraph of
peculiar interest. The English
character of Dickens time has
undergone little if any change
to the present day. What the
great novelist and historian said
of his fellow-countryman of the
10th century can be said of him
with equal truth in the 10th cen
tury. We quote:
1t (the English-SaXon) has been the
greatest character among the nations
of the earth. Wherever the descend
ants OF the Saxon race have gone,
have. sailed, or othe rwise have made
their way, even to the remotest re-
.gions of the world, they have been
patient, persevering, never to be broken
i'm spirit, never to be turned aside from
enterprises on which they have re-
solved. In Europe, Asia, Africa,
America, the whole world over; in the
desert, in the forest, on the sea;
scorched by burning sun, or frozen
by ice that never melts-the Saxon
blood remains unchanged. Whereso-
ever the race goes, there law and in
dustry and safety for life and property
and all the great results of steady per-
severance are certain to arise.
Now and then one hears some
person possessed or more knavery
than knowledge remark that the
English are doing little to pro-
mote the cause Of the allies in
the great war in which nearly
all of Europe is engaged. The
losses of the English, running
into the hundreds of thousands,
belle the statement. Day by day
the English are slowly but none
the less certainly doing their
part to overcome the Germans
on the battle lines in Flanders
and Belgium. In the great drive
of the Teutons on Paris last Sep
tember, did not the mere hand
full of King Georges soldiers
intercept and do even more than
seemed possible for SO few to do
to halt the apparently irresistible
rush of the Germanic armies and
drive them back beaten and
broken over the road they had
so lately VIGOROUSLY traverSed?
Who, prithee, is bearing the
brunt of the allies campaign in
the Dardanelles? Who has swept
the high seas clean of German
battleships and German COM
merce? Who, by and large. is
furnishing the money TO prose
C tie this war? These questions
answer themselves.
But what we started out to
say is this: If there is any ra-
cial pride most South Carolinians
feel, or should feel, it is in the
fact that their veins run the
same blood that has made the
English people the torch-bearers
of civilization, the one race that
never has been more than mo-
mentarily beaten; in our veins
is the same blood that is being
so freely spilled on the battle
fields of Europe that the God
given right of man to participate
in his own worldly destiny shall
not forever perish from the face
of the old world. The Germans
conquer the English? Ncverl
