Why He Lost His Friends.

He was not loyal to them.
He borrowed money from them.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He measured them by their ability
to advance him.
He did not know the value of
thoughtfulness in little things.
He never hesitated to sacrifice
their reputation for his advancement.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner-cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He never thought it worth while
to spend time in keeping up his
friendships.
He regarded friendship as a luxu-
ry to be enjoyed instead of an oppor-
tunity for service.
He was always wounding their feel
ings, making sarcastic funny remarks
at their expense.
He never learned that implicit,
generous trust is the very founda-
ton stone of friendship.
He never threw the doors of his
heart wide open to people, nor took
them into his confidence.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone,
that there must be service to nourish
it.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them, but always too
busy or too stingy to assist them in
their time of need.-Success.

INSURANCE SITUATION.
Governor Exercised Great Care in Sc
lecting Men to Draft Legislation.

Columbia, Nov. 4.-The fire insur-
ance situation has been in a more or
less unsatisfactory condition since
last spring, due to the withdrawal OF
the larger companies. The larger
companies, it is said, withdrew be-
cause of the Laney-Odom act, and as
a result fire insurance matters have
been disturbed.
Governor Manning and others have
undertaken to bring about a read
iustment and Commissioner McMas-
ter has felt that the companies have
been needlesly alarmed. Regardless
of what may be the merits of the con-
troversy the fire insurance situation
is disturbed and the business is not
pursuing normal lines.
Some time ago the Charleston
agents issued call, and as a result
a committee of five agents presented
the suggestion of commission to
Governor Manning and Commission
or McMaster. The idea is for this
high-class commission to study the
entire situation and to recommend
such legislation as will best meet the
needs and restore normal conditions
if practicable. Mr.. McMaster is to
be chairman of the commission that
is to investigate the laws and recon-
mend any revision or to frame new
code if thought best.
Governor Manning, in the selection
of the commission has given the mat
ter most careful thought and has Sc
lected men in whom the people have
entire confidence and whose sugges-
tions will inspire respect. Mr.. Nc
Master will be chairman, and from
the State senate he selected Mr..
Laney. of Chesterfield, who was one
of the authors of the Laney-Odom
act, and will be familiar with that
legislation. From the house he Sc
lected Mr.. Davis D. Noise, of Sum-
ter, who is likely to be chairman OF
the house committee on banking and
insurance, and who is a level-headed
LAWYER and business man. Then he
selected Mr.. Bright Williamson, a
leading bank president, farmer and
business man, of Darlington. Mr..
John D. Harris, of Greenville, is
large and prosperous farmer. He has
been very successful. Friends OF
Governor Manning suggested Mr.. J.
w. CASTOR, of Spartanburg, as the
best type of successful farmer and
business man, and he was asked to
serve on this all-important commits
sion. Messrs. Harris and CASTOR are
distinctly successful non-political far
mers with level heads.
Mr.. E. P. McCravey, of Easley, is
a former member of the house. He
is a real estate and insurance man.
Mr.. Alester G. Furman, of Greenvllle,
is president of the South Carolina
Underwriters association, and Mr..
Lawrence NJ. Pinckney, Of Charles
ton, is the daddy" so to speak, OF
the proposed plan of getting together.
Messrs. Furman and Pinckney, be-
sides conducting successful insurance
agencies, are themselves largely in
terested in properties and are high
class citizens.
The personnel of the commission
is highly approved and there is every
reason to anticipate the best and
most patriotic results.

No Lure For Boys.

While 1t may be true. as Mr.. Fax
states, that all people are drawn into
pictures. his statement does not hold
with regard to boys. The boast that
nothing IL impossible for the motion
picture camera to obtain was threat
cned with being disproven recently
during the making OF The Eye Of
tho Night" the Triangle-Ince play
In which Thomas II. Ince presents
William H. Thompson.
Ince wanted 500 boys ranging In
age from fourteen to eighteen. The
task of engaging them doomed UP as
monumental when It dawned upon
the producer that virtually all youths
between fourteen and eighteen at
tend either school or work.
"Well," thought Ince, well get the
scenes on Saturday" But when his
aides made efforts to make appoint
ments with 800 schoolboys they learn
ed that the beaches are more popu-
lar during leisure hours.
Eventually ii became necessary to
tempt the lads with attractive wages
In order to persuade them to forsake
the beach resorts In favor Of the film

Vienna $ Second War Time Carnival Season,
 Drearier Than First

Vienna, April ;8--Vienna's second carnival season in war time is. if pos sible, drearier than the first. This year the police have officially prohibits ed all public balls and dances and even private dances or entertainments are not allowed in public halls, most of the latter having been turned over to the military authorities for one pur- pose or another.
 After twenty months of war, white kid gloves and dress suits, patent leather shoes and ball gowns, fans and cotil1ion favors, seem to have passed into oblivion. Even were public dances allowed, there would be no young men to dance, and among the young women all inclination for such pleasures seems to have died out for the duration of the war. Though some dancing schools areN still going on, pupils are few
 Money is still being expended on arnusements during the carnival sea- son but it is nearly all going into one channel, and that is the theatre and opera. Night after night all these places are ftlleds to overflowing, for the public has discovered that theatre going is far less expensive than the ball gowns and numerous other ac- cessories demanded in the ordinary carnival season.
 Naturally, the industries which have hitherto supplied all the fash ionable requisites for balls and parties. have suffered greatly. Some have failed entirely, while others have saved themselves only by turning their factories into other uses having some bearing on the war. For instance one of the finest fan factories is now making soldiers knapsacks.

ILL TIMED SPEECH CAUSES DIPLOMAT
 T01LOSE PRESTIGE

Picking, April 8-Dr. Nagao Ariga, the Japanese Constitutional adviser to the, Chinese government, is practically a man without a country.
 Since pr. Ariga addressed Yuan Ski kai as ssYour Majesty in document widely printed in the Chinese press supporting the monarchical move ment, Dr.. Ariga has been ostracized by his fellow countrymen residing in China and merci1essly attacked by the press in Japan. This action of Dr. Ariga, at a time when his coun- try was opposing the Chinese mon archy, has been regarded as little short of treason by his fellow country men. He was forced to, resign from the Japanese club in Peking, and is no longer welcome in the homes of the leading Japanese in this city. It has been frequently suggested to him through the press that he should sur render his Japanese citizenship and become a Chinese subject.
 pr. Ariga is one of the favorite ad- visers of Yuan Sf1i-kai, and in< both China and Japan he is regarded as the foremost authority on constitu- tionaI law in the Orient. He is now busiIy engaged in assisting with the new Chinese constitution, and is in almost daily conference with high Chinese officials connected with the constitution drafting committee. Dr. Ariga is a graduate of Tokio Univer- sity, and was in charge of affairs re- 1ating to international law during the Chino-Japanese war. He was for merIy a professor at Waseda Univer- sity, but has been forced out of that institution because of his work in

MARINES AND BLUE
 JACKETS BURY RATCHET

Guantanamo, Cuba, April S-That the Marines and bluelackets of Uncle Sam's navy have buried the hatchet and there is now only the kindHest feeling between the enlisted men of the navy and the enlisted men of the Marine corps, was evidenced at a ban quet rendered Gunner's Mates Charles B. Hills and Robert Conroy by the Marine detachment of the U. s. S.. New York the other evening.
 The naval gunners were presented with handsome gold watches by the Marine corps boys. and the speakers of the evehing took for their theme the new relationship between the en- listed men of the two branches.
 In the old days of wooden sailing ships there was considerable jealousy and il1-fee1ing betwixt the bluejackets and Marines, but since the advent of thek modern man-o'-war that feeling has entirely disappeared and the men of the two branches now live. aboard ship in perfect peace and harmony.
 Joint shore operations at Vera Cruz and Hayti have brought about an even better understanding between the men, the officers declare.
