THE HAMMOND TORPEDO
BOUGHT

John Hays Hammond IT s re-
markab,e device for steering tor
pedoes by wireless has been
bought by the United States for
$750,00O.
AS soon as he got out of col
lege, he put up the laboratory
at Gloucester and got down to
the business of perfecting his
system of wireless torpedoes.
That he had to take out $50 pat
ents, and that he worked on the
proposition seven years, is proof
enough that this young fellow
had tackled a big job.
This torpedo of Hammond's
is really a surface craft which
can carry 1000 pounds of the
highest explosive and travel at
about SO miles an hour. When
several army officers" doubting
Thomases" all of them-at last
were prevailed upon to visit
Gloucester, Hammond, leading
them to his wireless station,
said:
eff you take these glasses,
you will see a bamboo pole which
have set upright in the water,
three miles out at sea. 1t is up
right because one end Of it is
weighted. l propose to hit that
pole with this torpedo 9 times
out of TO-"
The officers took the glasses
and saw the feat accomplished.
"Now," pursued the inventor,
eff you gentlemen will get on
the craft and wigwag to me,
while you are on it, in what di-
rection you want to go, when
you want to stop and where you
want to strike, I'll carry out the
directions"
They consented rather reluc-
family. Hammond, by manipu-
lating wireless waves against
the delicate machinery of the
torpedo, steered them AS they
directed through the sailing YES
sells and other craft.
After that the war depart
ment began to sit up and take
notice.

President at Prayer.

The Anderson Daily NAH says the
story is told that at recent cabinet
meeting, at the time when 1t looked
as if the United States might be drawn
into the European war in spite of all
that could be done, President Wilson
said to the members of the cabinet as
they assembled: Gentlemen, 1 don't
know whether you believe in prayer or
not, but l do. Let US ask divine guild
ance before We begin our dellbera-
tons" And then, the story goes, the
president knelt, the cabinet members
knelt with him and he offered a ferv-
: ent prayer.
We are prone to think of this as
cold and materialistic age. We hear
little of prayer by lagmen, either pub
lie or private. 1t is therefore all the
more refreshing and inspiring to read
of the president of the United States
and his cabinet kneeling in prayer in
the face of a great crisis. 1t will give
all Of US, whether we are in the habit
of prayer or not, faith and hope and
courage.
Those who do not pray themselves
have faith in the man who does pray.
The man who prays is not apt to go
wrong. He will try to do right, and
that is more than half of any battle.

| ! ne state.
With the help of God and the sup
port of the people this and all other
avs of our great state shall be rig
idly enforced so long as I am gov
ernor.' said Governor Manning in a
New Years greeting to the people of
South Carolina yesterday:
Tie statement follows:
For the blessings of peace and
prosperity to the people of South
Carolina throughout the year just end
ed, We are profoundly thankful. We
have had our trials and grave prob
lens, but in meeting and solving these
problems we nave been made stronger
and better fitted to meet the problems
of the future. South Carolinians to-
day, with all the true patriotism Of
their forefathers, stand shoulder to
shoulder a united people fighting for
the things that are right and just
for all the people Of our grand old
South Carolina
With this spirit of union and CO.
operation among our people We may
look to the future with optimism and
confidence, meeting any difficulties that
MAJ be presented and conQuering them
as only true patriotic South Carolin-
ians can do.
Many problems must be met dur
ing the year 1916. The death of the
dispensary system after a stormy life
of % years, and the enactment of a
law prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
liquors, places a responsibility upon
our people that can not be shirked or
thrown off without grahe danger. Law
is the result of the demand of the peo-
pie, and the people in order that their
law be properly enforced, must stand
even closer together and continue the
fight for it's enforcement, upnolding
and assisting those officers who are
striving to do their duty without fear
or favor. With the help Of God and
the support of the people this and all
other laws of our great state shall be
rigidly enforced so long as l am the
governor.
another of our problems is that ST
education. A continuance of the fight
for rural and common school educa-
ton in 1916 will bring to US a great
reward before the year is ended.
"In the year just ended OUT farmers
learned to live at home, thus reducing
the cost of production of cotton. Lei
US not forget the hard lesson Of 1914,
but continue system of raising home
supplies on a broader scale in 1916
and We will find fewer debts and
larger bank accounts in the hands OF
our farmers next December.
with feeling Of joy over the good
results already obtained in. South Caro-
lima and confidence that the future
holds even greater blessings in store
for us, I earnestly and sincerely wish
for each and every citizen of South
Carolina a new year abundant with
peace, health, happiness and pros
perity.

FREIGHT RATES IN SOUTH
ARE TO BE MADE HIGHER
General REIMBURSEMENT OF Tariffs in
This Section Permitted by
New Ruling.

Washington, Dec. 31.-General re-
adjusting of freight rates on railroads
serving the South between The Missis-
sippi and the Atlantic and the Gulf
and the Potomac river Was approved
today by the interstate commerce
commission in the most importan
case from that section which it has
had under consideration for many
years. The commission declined to
suspend tariffs of Southern carriers
proposing changes in rates on all
classes of freight, and the new tariffs
will become effective tomorrow.
The new schedules were framed by
a committee of Southern railroad men
on order of the commission to the
Southern carriers to reduce and elm
ina;e violations Of the so-called long
and short haul provision of the inter
state commerce act, which forbids a
higher rate for a hault to an intermedi-
ate than to a terminal point. The new
schedules reduce hundreds of viola
tions of this sort and eliminate many
others, but they provide for an in
crease in many cases in the rates to
such terminal cities as Atlanta and
Birmingham The general effect Of
the commissions order will be to in
crease rates to and from the important
centers.
Railroad officials declared here to-
night they did not expect the order
would yield any additional revenue,
but they could not determine this point
until the readjustment had been tried
out. The revenue derived from the
increases to the larger points, they
said, probably would balance with the
reduction to smaller points. How mucn
added revenue this means to the car
riers no one connected with the com
mission would care to estimate at this
time.
In addition to approving this plan
of the roads the comission issued a
new order in the same case allowing
the same roads until August 1, 1916,
in which to file new schedules of COM
modify rates on such important arti-
cles as coffee, cotton, fruits, burlaps,
furniture, tobacco, naval stores, etc.
These articles, which are transported
usually in bulk, in the main in carloads,
probably are all named in the sched-
ules of class rates in effect tomorrow,
but all carriers give lower rates,
known as commodity rates, on such
articles.
In the original rate plan readjust-
ment these commodity rates were not
included and the commissions sup
Elemental order has given the roads
time to protect them.
The Southern class rate readjust-
NEST had been the subject of contro-
versy before the commission for many
months. The commission recently
gave ten days to hearing the claims
of the roads and shippers. The COM
mission, however, points out that nc
rate has been approved as reasonable
or just in the present readjustment.
