the gateway peering to right and left

help running down the lane to see if
her suspicious were correct. And they
were. Not only had he left the gate
unlocked, but he had done so pur-

She had about decided that it was
only proper for her to enter and make
sure that all was right with the Judge
when she saw a woman looking at her

THE FASCINATION OF THE AUTO
 NTOBILE


 In a. daily newspaper published in one of the big cities of the country, which has been holding an automo- bile show, there was printed one day last week 21 columns Of automobile advertising and automobile news, special Issue The automobile material was Of course largely stinn- ulated by the exhibition. Yet many metropolitan newspapers print in their Sunday issues as much automo- bile material as that every week.
 Reports from the biz automobile shows tell of simply enormous att tendance. The Boston show drew 80, ,000 on an ordinary day. and ex- hibitions in other cities to cores pond. The people may be cutting down their supplies of beef, owing to slow trade and high prices. But the consumption of a necessity like the motor car is not checked.
 The people who conduct the auto mobile shows understand very well that if a man has a mechanical mind, he is a goner, once you get. him into one of these displays. He may think he went simply as an obseIv- CT of the mechanical triumphs of the age But the bug has got into his system. As the versatile and gen tlemanly salesnnen expound the per lection of their several cars, the fer ment grows.
 Soon he is absorbed in computa- tions to prove that he can afford a machine He slaughters on paper this or that customary expenditure, decides to go without cigars or a new parlor carpet, or painting the house, or a summer vacation trip. On paper the majority of people can figure out that they can afford a machine. As a matter of fact. the offsetttng economies that they think they are going to make are common ly never accomplished.
 To many men, anything of the na- ture of a machine is fascinating and alluring. The play of motors, wheels, and levers delights them. When to that there is added the stimulation of driving an automobile and the de- light of rapid motion, the combina- ton is too beguilfng for human na- ture. If a man really can't afford a motor car, he is fortunate indeed not to have this love for machinery implanted in his heart.

A ST. PATRIcK's DAY THOUGHT.

All of us are immigrants or chill dren Of immigrants Some Of our ancestors landed at Plymouth Rock, on Dutch Manhattan or Jamestown, two Or three hundreds of years ago. Others came later, and wore red shirts and worked on the railroad track for the children of the old stock. Sometimes it seems as if those who had had the most recent experience of manual labor got ahead the fastest
 Of all the racial types of which our American is the meIting-pot, none has advanced any faster than the children of St. Patrick for whom we wear the green, March IT. They have brought enthusiasm, sentiment, warm hearts, the friendly hand, and ambition. Good luck to them.

Dispensary a Failure.

Liquor selling under state control
has been failure in South Carolina.
The State dispensary became so cor
rupt that the people threw it over
board, and some of the counties that
have tried the county dispensary are
heartily sick of it. Even when graft
is not practiced, as was done with the
old State dispensary, it becomes cor
rupt politi ,al machine that is menace
to good government. That has been
the trouble in Aiken. In an editorial
last week, expressing approval of clos
ing the iispensaries in Aiken county,
the Aiken Standard had the following
to say in part:
'The dispensary was originated as a
solution of the whiskey traffic. 1t was
designed to eliminate whiskey from
politics. 1t has failed and failed ut
terly. 1t failed as state institution.
and brought reproach upon South Car,
olina AS a county institution, used
as a political machine, the coutrol of
the sale of liquor, becoming the mo-
tive power, it has in the method of its
operation and the purposes to which it
has been used, become stencil in the
nostrils of decency loving people. "

Return to, Normal Conditions.

While there is no rift in the wal
elouds-in fact, they seem to grow
more ominous-yet one who observes
conditions is constrained to believe that
gradually normal status is being re-
stored in this country. There has been
a marked improvement in business all
along the line during the past 60 days.
An unmistakable evidence of this is
the appearance of the travelling sales
men again. During last fall and early
in the present year but few salemen
were making their usual trips in quest
of business. There was then practical
ly no business for anybody.
Of couIse, there will not be anything
like normal volume of business until
another crop has been harvested and
marketed. But unless the United States
become directly involved in this al
most world wide war, which is improb-
able, every line of business should
prosper this fall Everything points
to the fact that farmers will receive a
fair price for their produce and conse-
quently they will have the money with
which to supply long-standing needs.
We say long-standing needs because of
the rigid economy that is being prac-
ticed. Some people are denying them
selves things that heretofore were re-
garded as necessities. AS soon as crops
are harvested and marketed in the fall
these needs will be supplied, which will
put money in circulation that will
be felt by every profession and every
business. Yes, in spite of the war,
business conditions are gradually be-
coming normal.

Woman's Building Needed.

While no definite steps have been
taken, yet within the past few years
the suggestion has been made several
times that the women of Edgefield pur-
chase lot and erect building that
will be all their own. There is much
that can be said in favor of the erection
of such building. A rest room is
needed in Edgefield as retreat for Ia
dies who come from distance to spend
the day. A meeting place is needed
for such organizations as the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
the Daughters of the Confederacy and
Dixie auxiliary. One room of the
building could be used as woman's
exchange.
A home or permanent dwelling place
should be provided for the steadily
growing public library. Should room
be set apart in the woman's building
for the library, the town council should
contribute toward the erection of the
building. We believe that the women
of Edgefield would have their efforts
crowned with success, were they to un-
dertake the purchase of lot and the
erection of building. 1t should be q
creditable structure and it would there
fore require some time to raise the
necessary funds. But beginning
should be made.
