In Somewhat

Br-r-r-r! No, that is not on imita-
ton of a grizzly bear but it's pretty
fair imitation of how just about half
OF the population of this city felt
Thursday when they awakened And
all on account of the gentleman at the
Moth Pole sending his blue ribbon
wind down to make Americas and
vicinity hunt the hottest fire and to
dive beneath the thickest quilts.
All of which being summed up
means that that it was just simply
frigid around this fair city Thurs
day.
The shoppers, too, thought the pref
ty wares of the local merchants could
wait until Jack Frost went back to
his ice-coated home, and as a result
the stores were rather empty. But the
coal dealers were once more of vry
optimistic minds and as the thermom-
eter reached lower and lower, their
estimation of life went higher and
higher.
And as the orders rolled in their
dreams of fiivvering all over Sumter's
highways came near to being realized.

THE SUMS ECLIPSE
VISIBLE THURSDAY

At $50 o'clock Thursday morning
the sun was visible in Americas in a
partial eclipse. 1t continued until II
o'clock and the middle of the phenom-
ena came at 9:55 in the morning.
Old Sol was total in his eclipse in
the Pacific ocean, in the northern part
of South America, and in the Atlantic
ocean from the northern part of Vene-
zuela to the British Isles.
The star gazing colony of Ameri-
Gus people used their smoked glasses
in a prolific manner during the par
tial eclipse
Before the year is over FIVE eclipses
will have occurred, according to as
Economical calculations. A partial
eclipse of the moon occurred on jan
Uary 20, visible throughout North
and South America.
There will be partial eclipse of
the moon on July IA, visible through
out the western hemisphere. An
annular eclipse of the sun will occur
on July 30, but will not be visible in
America. There will also be a par
tial eclipse of the sun on December

RUSSIANS COMPLAIN
Of WAY UNCLE SAM
HANDLED RELIEF

PEKIN, Feb. 3.-Russians officials
and the representatives of other En-
tente powers in Hardin, have found
much fault with the way the United
States has administered war relief to
Germons and Austrians in the portions
Of Manchuria close to Hardin. Com
plants have been made that Charles
X, Moser, the American consul at
Hardin, has rendered assistance to
German prisoners who escaped from
Russian prison camps.
The American position in admins
tering relief to Germans and Austrians
in Hardin is that Hardin is Chinese
territory, and consequently United
States officials, as neutrals, are under
obligation to administer to the wants
of all Germans and Austrans who are
III need, regardless of what part they
have taken in the war.
Mr. Moser recently paid a visit to
Peking, and discussed the relief work
at Hardin with Dr. Reinsch, the Am
erican minister, and Chinese officials.
The Chinese have never taken a firm
position in their resistance Of the cap
ture of Germans and Austrians who
escape from Siberia into Manchuria,
ard it is not likely that they will do so.
German prisoners who have escaped
into Mongolia and Manchuria have fire.
qhently been recaptured on Chinese
soil by Russian soldiers and taken
back into Russian territory. Escaped
prisoners have been seized at Mukden
and taken from railway trains.
The German and Austrian legations
If Picking have protested against Chi
mas failure to protect the subjects of
these two countries on neutral soil,
but without results.
Ever since the opening of Hardin to
foreign trade, it's status has been dis
puted by the Russians. At first they
insisted that the treaty port was locat-
ed on the river a number of miles from
the present city. This position is not
concurred in by the United States and
other powers. When the United States
consulate was first opened at Hardin
some ten years ago, representatives of
the United States suffered many indig-
mites, and efforts were made to dis
courage the development of Hardin as
q treaty port Russia, however, main
tains consul at Hardin and by so do
ing has justified in a measure the &C
ion of other powers.
A constant effort has always been
made by Russia to discourage the idea
that the present city of Hardin is Chi
nese territory. Being such an import
ant center on the trans-Siberian rail
way the Russians have always en-
deavored to maintain as strong a hold
sa possible upon the city. Without ac-
tUally declaring their ownership, they
have endeavored to create the impress
sion that Hardin is Russian territory.
Until the opening of the present
war they were strenuously opposed in
this position by other European pow
ers. However, with the entrance fI
the Entente into the struggle against
Germany and her allies, Great Britain
and France have changed their atti-
tude somewhat because of the ques-
ticns directly connected with the war
which have arisen in China. Neutrals
who desire to continue in trade in
Manchuria and Mongolia, and who
have no part in the disputes arising
over the war problems have shown no
disposition to acquiesce in The Russian
position.

Will SON LIKES THE
ON TOUR

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 3--Encouraged
by the enthusiasm characteriZing the
reception accorded President Wilson
everywhere during his present tour,
many of the chief executives advis-
crs and friends are today urging him
rent month. The proposed itinerary
CT the trip would include visits to the
Southeastern states, the Gulf states,
and an incursion into the west, TAX
ing Mr.. Wilson as far as Denver. The
proposed new Swing around the cir
cle," it is believed, is being seriously
considered.
In conversation with newspaper men
today, President Wilson expressed
himself as greatly encouraged by the
reception accorded him in Kansas City
last night. The president was partic-
ularly impressed by the hearty unan-
unity of the big crowds enthusiasm for
the administration preparedness pro-
gram. Not since the presidential lpar-
ty left Washington have the crowds
cheered Mr.. Wilson's remarks 50
heartily. In numbers the crowd at
Kansas City exceeded the outpouring
greeting the president at any other
city during his tour.
President Wilson arrived in St.
Louis this morning, and delivered the
last address of his present tour A
committee of St. Louis business men
met the presidential party at the I'M
ion station early this morning, and
escorted them to their hotel. President
Wilson appeared fresh and conversed
eagerly with friends following his ar
rival. Mrs. Wilson seemed somewhat
tired, and sought the seclusion of her
rooms Immediately on arriving at her
hotel
The st. Louis Business Mems lea
que, a department of the Chamber Cr
Commerce here, rendered the Presf-
dent breakfast following his arrival,
a number of Missouri's prominent
business and professional zen attend
ing. This affair was non-political in
every aspect. At ten o'clock this
morning, Mr.. Wilson addressed a huge
crowd which had gathered to hear him.
He spoke along the same lines as in
previous speeches, and a visible i'm
preston upon his hearers was noted.
At the conclusion of his talk, the
president and his party departed i'm
mediately for Washington.
President Wilson told his hearers,
that the United States should have the
greatest navy in the world, which
brought forth tumultuous cheering
from every part of the immense coli
scum. When the president stated the
action of one submarine commander
in sinking a single American ship or
Icargo might have the effect of drawing
the United States into the war, a round
of applause went up.
Plans have been completed for a
brief platform address to be delivered
from the rear of the presidential train
at East st. Louis, just across the river
from this city. The president will
reach Washington during tomorrow.

1lE.uP ON 500.

Washburn, March ga great tie
ND in train service on the North 500
lines at this place was caused by
snow and water. One Of the trains
arrived here at midnight Wednesday
over eight hours late and had TO
leave all of its passengers until the
road was cleared OF snow and the
stalled engines brought to the shops.
The passengers, numbering $50, were
taken care OF by officials of the 500.
and residents of this place during
their sojourn. The passenger coaches,
smoker. and baggage cars, were left
here while the engineers were sent
TO get supplies and TO relieve the
snowed-in crews.
Two engines arrived in Washburn
f.om Bismarck yesterday with an adj
diti0n&l crew of 20 men and a car
load OF coal. Theey went TO the re-
lief OF the two stalled engines, east
of this place and the four engines
pulled in. late last night.
Report coming in from the Wilton
district, are that the snow has drifted
% feet deep in that vicinity. The
Missouri river is very high there and
already the low lands east of the
town are flooded. 1t is estimated by
aid residents Of this place that more
snow has fallen this year than any
since 1882.

The Japanese Woman.

The Japanese woman exists pri
marily for and in the family We still.
adhere to the old way of thinking that
her natural habitat is the home, and
that her appearance at the polls is
as unnatural as on the battlefield. Let
it be far from me to give an impress
sion, already too prevalent abroad and
at home, that we look upon women
only as cogs in the machinery of the
kitchen or as mere puppets and orna'
ments in the parlor, writes Doctor
Nitrobe in the Japanese Nation. The
personality Of the fair sex is not as
clearly recognized among us as it
ought to be; but am confident that
it will come with more general en-
lightenment Of public conscience. Az
it is at present, the aim Of female
education is to make "a good wife and
a wise mother" a stereotyped shib
boleth on the lips of all educators and
of the nation, circumscribing the end
and aim Of womans life. According
to this doctrine, It is not as person,
but as wife and mother, that woman

Thus they are often found in the

down by the supreme court Yesterday
1t was AN opinion in the case OF The
state ex rel Andrew Miller vs.. Add
son Leach, auditor OF Cass county
wherein Subdivision IA, Section 2uSe
Of the 1919 session laws, providing for
the assessment OF heat: light and pow
er companies by the tax commission
is held 10 be unconstitutional. In l9l 1
Leach refused 10 pace upon the rolls
OF the county the assessment of heal,
light and power companies by the tax
commission. Mandamus proceedings
were brought against him and were
defeated in district court and on APP
peal the Supreme court declared this
provision unconstitutional for want OF
due process of Law.
The tax commission law provides
for the assessment OF this class or
property by the commission but it
does not provide a time of hearing.
The court held thar failure TO pro-
vide a time of hearing as in contra
ventiUn ,otsthe constitutional provl-
sions providing for due process. The
court did not pass upon any other
constitutional questions raised.
The tax commission still retains
general supervisory powers over reve.
