Not The least thing the present
session of the General Assembly
could do would be to inquire into
conditionsat Winthrop college
and learnw according to in
formation at hand. numbers of
South Carolina girls are each year
denied entry to the institution
on account of alleged lack of
ACCOMMODATIONS, while perhaps "a
larger number of girls from
dther States are attending the
school. We had a vague idea
sthat Winthrop was a South
Carolina institution.

Give the Boy 4 chance:

The worlds record for corn
raising belongs to Walter l..
Deenson, an Alabama boy, yet
in his early teens. Last year
this boy raised 232i bushels of
corn on a single acre of land,
which is the largest yield per
acre ever recorded. This re-
snarkable record was made by an
ordinary boy and on ordinary
land. He became interested in
corn raising and studied into the
matter of the kind and proper
use of fertilizers and proper
cultivation. AS result of put
ting his knowledge to practical
use he raised 232 bushels of corn
on one acre of land, thereby win
ming the championship of the
world. What Walter l.. Deem
son has done serves to show
what common everyday, out
and out boy can do if he is given
the chance. There are thousands
of ambitious boys on the rich
farms of this State who never
know what it is to be encour-
aged to take an interest in
agricu!taSs or stock raising. If
stl1 Boys were given small
plot of ground and some seed
corn for example to plant and
cultivate, a circus would not be
able to- turn their thoughts very
far away from the enchanted
spot where a wonderful harvest
will be theirs theirs 80 SC reap p A boy
may not be able to raise 232
bushels of corn on an acre Of his
fathers land, but he can do well
enough to make his efforts worth
while. What boy in this county
is going after that worlds
championship record next year?

feels called upon to beg pardon
of its readers for devoting SO

Spot cotton on the local mark
ct. which has been slowly but
steadily climbing in price for the
past several sev %%eeks, was quoted quoted
yesterday at 1874 cents.
Cotton merchants are mani
fssting a very keen interest in
the status of the situation now,
particularly of the efforts toward
Importation of cotton into Ger
many, where there is such a de-
mand and at such fancy prices.
The first ship load to reach Ger
man markets went from Will
mington, N. c., about three
weeks ago. Since that time a
number of American ships have
sailed for German ports. How
ever, the rate is about three
times the normal price.
The tone of the market is
slowly but steadily strengthen
ing and.it is. believed that when
eight cents is reached there will
be a substantial improvement in
all lines.

Somebody has said that there
are more young men in the
penitentiary in this country
learning trades than there are
outside of them. The principal
cause OF this is we arc edu-
eating our young men for gen
tlemen; trying to make lawyers,
doctors and clerks out of the
material nature intended for
blacksmiths, carpenters. and
other hewers of wood and draw
ers of water. 1t is a mistake
and a big one to teach boys and
GIRLS by insinuation or otherwise
that to labor is dis2raceful, OF
81 labor is necessary for liveli-
hood to follow a genteel oc-
oapation. and that to do nothing
sof 4 living is more becoming
the society in which they. expect
to move andaaaIe respect.

the nomination will not be worth
very much to the man who gets it.
We think in our section that Col.
Fleming fills that bill OF particulars.
Marion county has never had a
Republican nominee for Congress.
For that matter no other county ex-
cept Marshall has had one in my rec
objection. From 1888, as recall it,
Ohio county has had monopoly on
the nomination with the exception
noted. Charley Carrigan, of Mounds
Vile, was given the nomination that
time, and he lost out. Col. Flem-
ing may be classed. in sort of a
way, as new broom. If there is
any truth in the old saying. he should
be able to sweep the First district
clean with an old-fashioned Repub-
lican party victory"

Congressman w. A. Rodenberg. of
the East ST. Louis district, while in
Washington today learned with evil
dent satisfaction from several West
Virginians that his former friend and
colleague in the House, the Hon.
Harry C. woodward. has bright pros
poets of being returned to Congress.
Like Mr.. woodward. MI. Rodenberg,
after years of useful and influential
membership in the lower branch, got
lost in the avalanche of Democratic
votes that swept away q republican
House in 1910 Last November, Mr..
Rodenberg came back" with bells
on and a plurality that was SO large
as to be noisy.
IT certainly am glad from the bot
tom of my heart to hear that the
signs point to Mr.. Woodyards re-
turn to Congress. He was popular
with all Of us, and influential. 1t
was a pleasure for US to help him
with the projects for his district
which meant SO much for him and
represented. He never forgot the
help of his friends. and when they
had things on for their respective
constituents, Mr.. woodward would
turn In and help them out. He was
an indefatigable, persistent, work
er in behalf OF the people he repre-
sented. and he was as staunch and
dependable a Republican as ever oc-
cupied a seat in the House in my
time. / will not be the only one to
give Mr.. woodward a warm welcome
upon his return. Every man now In
the House who served with him. no
matter to which party he belongs,
will give the glad hand of welcome
to him. and will be sincerely glad
that he is back with them again
working for the good OF our common
country"
Mr.. Rodenberg will signalize his
return to the House by making a
fight for one cent postage on local
delivery. He has bill on that sub
| iect ready to throw into the legfsla-
tive hopper. The time is hardly
ripe" he said. FOR the government

Use of bicycles or motor cycles in

hibited by an order issued today by
Postmaster General Burleson, effec-
tive January /. 1916. In announcing
his order, Mr.. Burleson holds that
vehicles of these types do not have
carrying capacity needed for the par
cells post service and do not afford
necessary protection for the mail In
bad weather. The order will affect
about 5000 carriers who now use

INCREASING RATE OF WAR EXPENSES.

Statisticians computed in the middle of Sep
TENDER daily cost of the war of 900.
This is daily expenditure nearly three times
as great as was reported in the first months of
the war, and whether it be approximately cor
rect or not, it is certainly true that the wastage
of the great conflict is going ON at frightfully
accelerated rate. IT'he public debts f the bel,
ligerent countries have already increased by
the stupendous total of $4,000, O0Q,0 900 since
August Of last year. Not only Great Britain and
France, but Russia and italy Sas we'll are pre-
pairing TO- make new loans which will add, fur
cher to the sum of nationalindeb tedness. 1t is
thought that if the war; should tontinue'a year
longer, Great Britain and France will need to
borrow from America a very much larger sum
than the half billion or billion dollars now in
volved, the most careful students of the situa-
ton predicting that at least two billion dollars
must be loaned from this country.-From "The

DEVELOPING A SCENIC HIGHWAY.

Honolulu has in the making some remarkably
fine tourist assets. Perhaps not ten per cent
of the residents of this city realize with what
rapidity fine scenic highwa1 system is being
developed. We hear much controversy over
pavements and grades and local assessments
and other matters municipal that we are apt
to lost sight Of the steady progress being made
through all the supervisoral disputes and de-
bates. =.
7. The early completion of the Roundtop road,
with IFS connection with the familiar Tantalus
road will give the city scenic highway of
which any spot in the world might well be glad
to boast. Up the littleknown Kalihi valley a
beautiful drive is being developed, Plans are
on foot by the territory to use prison labor on
Diamond Head road and make this what it
should be-a close to- the-city boulevard suit
able for drive any afternoon or evening and
as much delight to the chance visitor as the
Pail drive is now.
Another boulevard just as readily accessible
and SO close to the downtown section as to be
within walking distance for those inclined to
brisk exercise has been constructed on the
slopesof Punchbowl that overlook the harbor
and the sea.
Many miles of scenic roadway are being
made available to autoists. Yet there are
mountainsides untouched and treasure houses
of scenery unlocked, waiting the future. One
OF the satisfactory things about Honolulu as
touristscity is that much of it's possibilities are
IN the future. 1t remains for a progressive
people to realize upon them.

EDITOR
KURoPATKIN.

Only reversal of public opinion amounting
to an upheava can explain the fact that Gen.
kuropatkin has been placed in high command
of Russian armies, if it is fact This officer
was thoroughly disgraced by his defeats in the
Russo-Japanese war. The Manchurian cam
paign, it has generally been thought by observ-
ers forever removed him from high response
bility, even though many war critics said that
internal friction among his generals and his
enforced subordination to the command of the
Russian viceroy in the Far East, an admiral,
Aexiev, were the causes of his failure
In his history of the war, Kuropatkin spoke
with utmost frankness of his mistakes and
praised his troops highly.
After the defeat at Mukden and the retire
ment of the entire Russian army to Telling
Gen. kuropatkin resigned the command to
Gen. Linevitch, taking the latter's place at the
head of one of the three armies in Manchuria.
Gen. Kuropatkin, who was born in 1913, en-
tered the army at the age of 16. In the war of
I877-78 against Turkey he earned a great repu-
tation. In 1882 he was made a major general
at the age of "a. Eight years later he became
a lieutenant general, and in 1903, having &C
quired in peace and war the reputation of being
one of the foremost soldiers in Europe, he
Quilted the post of minister of war, which he
then held, and took command of the Russian
army then gathering in Manchuria for the con-
test with Japan.
