Announcement chat he would
probably enter the political arena
next year and tell the South Carolina
public fully Of the details Of opera
ton Of the state hospital for the in
sane. at Columbia. Of what changes
and improvements were made by him,
and OF the treatment accorded him
by the present state administration,
was made by DR.. T. J. Strait of Lam
caster, recently removed superinten-
dent of the asylum, shortly before he
left yesterday afternoon for his for
mer home after being succeeded by
DR.. C. Fred Williams of Columbia.
says a Columbia dispatch Of Satur-
day to the News and Courier. DR..
Strait said his mind was not fully
made up as to what effort he would
make to carry to the public of this
state his views upon the situation at
the asylum, and upon the action OF
the administration. Early in the in
terview he forecast q political upheav-
al in 1915 that would have the asy-
lum as the center Of the vortex. DR..
Strait said that he did mot know
whether he would run next summer
for governor or lieutentnt governor,
or for congress from his district" "
That "some of the leading lawyers Of
this state hold the opinion that sup
erintendent Of the asylu mcannot be
sulnmarily removed without cause,
and that such action without cause
would be Illegal" was mentioned by
the departing former superintendent
during the interview. He did not ex-
press mis- own opinion as to the right
of those in power to remove him. DR..
Strait said he desired to make it
plain that he had not brought parti-
san politics into the government Of
the asylum. and that he had brought
about "a considerably more efficient
government at less aggregate eX-
pense to the state than that which !
found there" Discussing the economy
of operation he had obtained, he de-
clared a comparison Of the monthly
expenses Of March, 1914, and March,
1915, showed he had saved $1,000 for
that month. Among other savings he
had obtained by institution Of modern

The smith-Lever Appropriations
The total appropriations on account
Of the department of agriculture this
year is s22,s71,7S2, according to the
Weekly News Letter Of the agricul-
tural department"
This total, however, dos not include
the sum Of $1,0S0,000 available under
the act Of May s, 1914, commonly
known as the Smith-Lever extension
act, for cooperative agricL ltural ex-
tension work between the states and
the United States department Of ag-
riculture. OF this sum, $4,000 Is
granted outright to each state and the
balance, 100000, Is allotted to the
states on basis Of their rural popula-
the states only so far as they contri-
butte equal amounts to offset them.
In other words, ito obtain the total
Of 100000, the states must likewise
appropriate 100000 to be expended
in cooperative agricultural extension
work"
The joint state and Federal fund
must be expended in the giving Of in
struction and practical demonstra-
tions in agriculture and home econo-
mics to persons not attending or resi-
dent In said colleges In the several
communities and imparting to such
persons information on said subjects
through field demonstrations, and
otherwise" While the states are to
expend this fund, the law provides
that the work shall be carried on in
such manner as may be mutually
agreed upon by the secretary Of agri-
culture and the state agricultural col
leges receiving the benefits Of this
act"
The actual work Of supervision Of
the expenditure Of the Smith Lever

COST OF THE WAR
President of California University
Names $4,000, 100000.

Edgar Crammond Of London, a
high authority, estimates the cash
cost of a year Of the Europen war, to
August 1, 1915, at $4,000, ,00O, 900,
while other losses will mount up to
make a grand total Of $4,000, ,000, 900.
No one can have any conception of
what s46,OO0, 0,O00,O 900 may be. 1t Is four
times all the coin in the world. If
this sum were measured out in $50
gold pieces and they were placed side
by side on the railway track, on each
rail, they would line with gold every
line from New York to the Pacific
ocean, the two Canadian lines in
cluded. There would be enough left
to cover each rail Of the Siberian
railway from Vladivostok to Petro-
grad. There would still remain suf-
ficient to rehabitate Belgium and to
buy the whole Of Turkey, at her own
valuation, wiping her finally from the
map.
"Or we may figure in some other
fashion. The average working man In
America earns 1913 a year. 1t would
take 90,000,000 years work to pay the
cost Of the war; or 90,0O0,OO0 Ameri-
can laborers might pay 1t off in one
year, If all their living expenses were
paid.
1.-The cost of year Of the great
war Is a little more than the esti-
mated value Of all the property Of the
United States west Of the Mississippi
river 1t is nearly equal to the total
value of all the property in Germany
($4S. 900, ,0OO,0OO,) as estimated in
1906. The whole Russian empire
(s35, ,OOO,0O0), could have been
bought for less sum before the war
began. 1t could be had, on cash
sale. more cheaply now. This sum
would have paid for all the property
in Italy $4,000, OO0,OO0), Japan (s1O,-
900, 900, ,OOO), Holland (s5,OOO, ,0OO, ,Oo0),
Belgium ,OOO,OOO,OOO), Spain (s6,-
900, ,OO0,0OO) and Portugal (s2,500,000,-
000). 1t Is three times the entire
yearly earnings in wages and sal
aries of the people Of the United
States, (s15,50O. 900, ,0O0).
THE cost Of the war would pay
the national debts Of all the nations
In the world at the time the war
broke out. If all the farms, farming
lands and factories Of the United
States were wiped out Of existence,
the cost Of this war would more than
replace them. If all the personal and
real property Of half our nation were
destroyed or II an earthquake Of in
credible dimensions should shake
down every house from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. the waste would be less
than that involved in this war. And
an elemental catastrophe leaves be-
hind it no costly legacy of hate

CHAPTER vi.
In the Courier Office.


Good morning, Mr.. Nelson. / am
glad to see you arrive at your desk
SO promptly each day. There Is some
tragedy in the north part Of town re-
ported this morning. l wish you
would investigate ct once"
Mr.. Marchmount spoke these words
to Reginald about a week after he had
begun his work on the Courier. IL
needed little inquiry for him to fnd
the home where the tragedy had hap
pened, as the entire neighborhood was
alive with the excitement.
Sure, an it's too bad entoirely'
an Irish woman explained, when Regi-
nald approached the first group ne
came to and asked what had happen
ed. Sure, an it's poor Mae, the pur-
ty girl. She's dead"
"Dead?" responded Reginald. How
did she die?"
"Ah," responded the other, pulling
her shawl around her head and
shivering in the wind, there was
some rascal back o it, but, loike as
not, they'll never catch him. Her
poor mither is heart broke"
The cottage in which the tragedy,
whatever it might be. had taken place
was one Of three cottages built side by
side, each exactly a copy Of the other.
The houses in that neighborhood were
occupied almost entirely by the work.
ers in the large factories near by.
Reginald knocked, and woman about
middle age, with eyes red from weep
ing, came to the door.
II represent the Courier" said the
reporter, stepping inside II have call
ed to get the details Of the death Of
the girl"

heard him. Her face was the picture
of despair. She was wringing her
hands. Tears were silently coursing
down her cheeks.
"Oh, my God! my God! Will the
world know the shame Of my poor
Mae?" she shrieked as she heard the
newspaper man make his inquiry.
"Oh, Mae, why did you do it? Why
did you do it?"
Reginald spoke in a kind, sympa-
thetic voice, seating himself on a va
cant chair beside the stricken woman
She wept Historically for few mo-
ments. Then she became calmer.
How old was your daughter
Reginald asked after a pause.
The woman made an effort to con-
troll herself as she answered, "Twen-
ty-one."
Tell me how it happened" Regi-
nald looked inquiringly at the mother
Reginald's presence and his questions
seemed to give relief to the woman.
Mae went to work yesterday just
as usual" she began, wiping her eyes
"She looked as we'll as ever, and
thought to myself as she went out OF
the door that there wasn't nicer OF
prettier girl in Bronson than my Mae.
Here the mothers voice weakened
somewhat, but she braced herself and
continued, when she came home ir
the evening 1t was later than usual
and asked her what kept her sc
late
Where did she work?" asked Regi.
nald.
"At the Gregory factory"
There was a pause.
"She told me she had a bad head
ache and that she would not take any
supper. and soon after she went to bed
In a little while l heard her groan-
ing, and I came into her room, ant
she was lying in bed in great pain.
called the doctor at once. and hi
came in a little while and said she
was poisoned"
What doctor did you CALI" in.
quired Reginald.
"Dr. Gracely. He did everything ht
could, but all he could do was to give
her opiates to quiet her pain. She
didn't think she was going to die a
first and kept saying she would soor
feel better, but as the night went or
she got worse, and when she saw how
sick she was she tried to tell me some
thing, but it was too late"
The mother broke down utterly a:
she repeated these words, and Regi'
nald decided to leave.
Before returning to the Courier Of
flee Reginald visited the Gregory fac
tory to learn what he could regarding
the girl. When he called at the Office
he found that Roland Gregory had no
yet arrived at the factory, but he re-
ceived permission to interrogate some
of the girls who worked alongside o
the unfortunate Mae.
The girls at the factory had evident
ly heard of the tragedy. and they were

A MAN WHO DIED."
Being the Story of Man Who Made
an Experiment.

Being the Story of Man Who Made
an Experiment.
Once upon a time there lived a man
who wondered what his neighbors
thought Of him. In order to find out
he framed up a deal with his wife and
pretended to die.
The undertaken was taken into the
secret and he laid the body out in a
coffin and opened the lid in order that
neighbors might take a farewell look
at the late lamented.
Scores came to sit in the parlor and
talk in low tones about the deceased.
Some talked in low tones about poll
tics and the crop prospect
Meanwhile the dead" man listen
ed with both ears.
A thin, hatchet- faced old maid who
loved gossip as a hog loves the other
kind of slop, and who had for years
peddled SANDER about the man who
lay in their coffin, wiped away an
imaginary tear and simpered to the
wife: Il can sympathize with you in
this sad hour. dear sister. The dear
so kind and so good l know your
burden is heavy"
And a hard-looking customer with
bristling, close-cropped grey hair-a
man who had fought and cussed and
! hated the chap in the coffin for almost
half a century, cleared his throat and
rumbled: Yes, indeed. We shall all
miss him. He was very dear to me,
and 1 appreciate your feelings"
Then the preacher placed his finger
tips together and looked at the ceiling.
The preacher had often referred to
the coflins occupant as a poor lost
soul" and "black sheep" He be-
lieved and almost hoped that the de-
parted was in hades, but it was his
business to comfort, and he said: ISIS
| ter, there is One who cares for his
soul. Let not your heart be troubled,
for your husband is with him."
Then the man in the coffin kicked
off the lid and sat up with a loud
snort.
II don't mind being dead" said he,
'and I'll go to hell if / have to, but 1
won't lie here and listen to pack Of
hypocrites holding a lying contest"
The moral. of course. is that telling
| good lies about the dead is no more
| commendable than telling mean lies
| about the living-and also, as you
have heard, all is not gold that gath
