HERE LIES A MAN.

When death claimed Mr.. G. A. Wis
anska, on last Wednesday morning.
the City of Abbeville lost its foremost
business man and its best friend. For
a quarter of a century, on account OF
his liberality and his wealth, his
good judgment and his patriotic zeal
for this city, he has stood at the
head of the procession when the needs
OF the city required men who were
willing to spnd and be spent for the
public good.
1t has been nearly fifty years since
he left his home in Poland, and came
to this country to seek fortune.
Being an immigrant and without
money and friends, he must have
longed ofttimes for his native land
and for his kindred across the waters.
But he had come here to spend his
life, and to be a part of this great
country, and as God gave him the op-
portunity, he fulfilled his mission,
whether as soldier orr citizen. He
encountered and conquered the OBJ
stacles in the way of the young He
brew coming to this country and
gradually accumulated a little money
with which to begin business for him
self.
Some thirty years ago, he came to
Abbeville and entered business in the
store now occupied by D .Poliakoff.
He succeeded as a merchant beyond
his own expectations, we have no
doubt. But he did it by the force of
industry, coupled with fair dealing
and good business judgment.
In all his dealings he exercised
just judgment. He did no man any
wrong. He was a neighborly man.
He made many friends and he be-
friended many people, especially
those who were his customers in the
early years before his fortune was
made. Many of these, including
colored people and their descendants,
were the objects Of his good will and
favor in after years.
He raised as manly set of boys
as ever went out from Abbeville.
The training he gave them in indus
try and character has followed them
in their several vocations, and they
live today, as he did, the foremost
men in their communities, whether
in point of intellect, character, or
love of the public good.
He was blessed with two devoted
daughters, who continued to live
with him up to the day of his death.
The deep affection he felt for them,
and they for him, was known by all.
His grandchildren loved him, and he
loved them. The little children of
the city never passed him unnoticed.
He was their friend, and they were
his friends.
But he is gone, our friend of yes.
terday. He lived a life full of USE
fulness to his community and to
his county and state. His work had
been finished. He was an orthodox
Jew, and he lived and died in the
faith of his fathers and according to
the religion taught him by his mother.
He crossed the river to the other
country with his face towards the
rising sun, and his end is peace.
May his tribe increase!

Chestnut Crop Is Not a Failure.

Reports made to the State Depart
mcnt of Agriculture fail to be0r out
the predictions of failure of the
chestnut crop because If The weather
conditions and districts i'm the counties
where the trees have escaped the raw
ages Of the chestnut blight report he
usual yield. In spite of the spread of
of troublesome tree disease, there will
be a big crop of chestnuts generally
throughout the State, only a vey few
portions being short.
The reports are that the chestnut
trees arc well filled with green burrs
and that.with the coming Of the frost,
there will lie found to be more than
ordinarily supposed The continued
rains and warm weather did not injure
materially the chestnuts and there will
be plenty in the mountain counties.
hickory nuts are alsc reported as
showing signs of being abundant in
those portions where the trees sur
vive, but there are doubts about the
walnut crop in sonle coanties. Beech
nuts, according to the sportsmen, has
largely disappeared, and this is one
leason why it has been so hard to keep
wild turkey alive. In years gone by
the turkeys and other game lived on
becchnuts, but this food supply has
practically disappeared.

STATE UNABLE TO PAY $1,000.
Comptroller Harrington Writes City
Must Wait for Money.

State Comptroller Emerson c. Har-
rington, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor. notified Deputy City Comptrol-
Ter Childs. of Baltimore Saturday that
there was not enough money in the
State Treasury at this time to pay the
city $4,000 that is due on account of
The iceboat Annapolis, operated by the
city of Baltimore and State jointly.
The State made an appropriation Of
$5, 900 toward the maintenance of the
boat, and Mr.. Childs wrote to Comp
,roller Harrington last week asking
when the city might expect the money.
The Deputy City Comptroller is pre-
pairing TO close up the city's financial
accounts for the year preparatory
making UP the levy for 1916
In letter to him State Comptroller
Harrington said:
"It is a matter of regret that the con-
dition of the Treasury will not war
rant payment at this time, but we will
get it in due time"
Mr.. Harrington stated that the mon
ey would be turned over to the city of
Baltimore at the earliest date possible.
The depleted State Treasury has great
ly hampered thep rogressive work of
the Emergency Hospital, which has not
received its State apportionment for
he Dast two years, and has had TO
borrow money on interest to conduct
the hospital.

The GaI,eston Won The Trophy.

The u S. s. Galveston. Commander
Richard H. Leigh. won the trophy in
the cruiser class for 1915 instead OF
the New Orleans, as was originally an
nounced at the Navy Department. A
mistake in the calculation of the scores
of the vessels which gave the New Or
leans the first place was not discovered
until the announcement was made. but
in time to have the trophy presented to
the Galveston.
The Galveston won by big margin,
The final merit being something like
a. 10 SO. This is the second year that
the Galveston has won the trophy. The
officers and crew. naturally, take con-
siderable pride in the fact that they
have been able TO hold the trophy for
another year. This does not occur very
frequently in contests between the
ships for the trophy.

COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.
Open to All Corners For An Assistant
Navy PaymaSter.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels,on Oc-
tober 5, announced that competitive
examination will be held on December
s, 1915, for assistant paymaster in the
navy, open without restrictions what
'soever, to all citizens of legal age. This
action was taken upon the recommen-
dation of Paymaster General MCGOWAN,
of the United States Navy.
There are at present thirteen vacan-
cies in the Pay Corps, but it isunder-
stood that a list of ligibles will be
kept in the Navy Department if more
than thirteen of the candidates qualify
both physically and mentally. For two
years the Secretary has been making
an effort to fill the vacancies in the
Pay Corps from the enlisted men of the
Navy. He lowered the standard of
examinations and reviewed the reports
of the examining board and did every
thing to encourage the enlisted men
to take the examination, but for some
reason they did not take a deep inter
est in the Pay Corps, and comparative
ly few of them were candidates.
In 1913 nine qualified for appoint
ment and last year five more. This
year two passed the examination and
will receive their commissions shortly.
making a total of sixteen. Under the
new arrangement enlisted men will be
allowed to participate in the examine
tions. as will pay clerks and chief pay
clerks, but the SECRETARY has become
convinced that in order tc fill all the
vacancies 1t would be necessary to
make young men from civil life eligi-
bile. Appointments will be strictly on
merit basis in the order of proficiency
SIS shown by the examination.
For the purpose of affording all de-
serving candidates, particularly those
who might not be able TO bear the ex-
pense of a trip to Washington, an equal
opportunity, the examinations viii be
held at Washington, Newport, Chicago,
New Orleans aud San Francisco. Iden-
tical questions are being prepared by
the statutory board in Washington mad
the papers of each candidate will be
forwarded to this board for marking.
The limitations of age are 21 to &c, eN
cept for pay clerks and chief pay clerks
now in the Navy, who are eligible up to
SO years of age
An assistant paymaster has the rank
of ensign. and is eligible for rrcn,oticn
to pay director with the rank of cap
tain. The duties correspond to those
performed in the Army by officers OF
the Quartermaster Corps. Complete
information as to the method of max
ing application for appointment. the ma
ture and scope of the examination, ETC.

u. S. TO TEST FOG DISPELLER
Machine Flashes Lightning to Clear
Up AtmOsphere.

A series of fog dispelling- expert
ments with a giant electrical machine
constructed by government scientists
at the exposition is to be made in San
Francisco in few days, as was an
nounced on Friday last.
The machine is an electric trans
former, said to be the largest ever
built. 1t can take a current of 1000
kilowatts at 1900 volts, it is said. and
run it up to 100000 volts. The
charge OF fhis high potential is expect
ed to produce broad and continuous
flash of lightning 100 feet long, and the
experts believe that the resultant
electrical disturbances viii be sufi-
cient to clear up a heavy fog for some
distance around the machine
The transformer is being installed by
