INTRODUCING MR.. MORROW.

Batesburg Herald.
Mr.. Frank L. Morrow, originally
came from Abbeville County-which
is a good place to come from.
Among the places he has been to
Cuba, Alaska, Oklahoma and he
might have wandered up Saluda way
for all we know. He is a newape-
per man, which term. covers a multi
tude of sins. Newspaper men make
a head of cabbage, which has been
taken in on subscription, last longer
than the average mortal. It takes q
good newspaper man to do this.
All of which is said to inform the
readers Of this paper that Mr.. Nor
row will be connected with us from
now on. He knows the game from
A to lizard, and we look for many
improvements under his business
managership.
We bespeak for him that kindly
consideration and hearty coopera-
ton extended a newcomer by this
community.

PUTS BOYS COMFORT FIRST
Jersey Education Board Says That Collars May Be Discarded
 on Hot Days.

Trenton, N. J--Schoolboys in New Jersey need not wear collar in warm weather and they may turn under the neck bands of their shirtwaists. This decision, reached by the state board of education, put an end to the con- troversy that has ragged since sum- mer's Bareback last September, and also reverses the findings of the state commissioner of education.
 The case was that of Van Lear and Robertson Turner, sons of Frank V. L. Turner of Merchantville. During the unreasonable weather last fall, the boys, who are ten and thirteen years old, respectively, were sent to school without collars and with the neck bands of their shirtwaists turned un der. The teacher, Miss Sarah Rog CTS, promptly sent them home. Their mother refused to change their at tire for several days, during which time they were denied admission to the school although they reported each morning.
 Turner appealed to the Merchant vile school board and then to the state school commissioner, both of whom upheld the teachers action. In reversing them the state board holds that the teachers mandate was an unreasonable and unwarranted exer- else of power.

 Commissioner Sells sent a circu- lar letter to all superintendents and other employees in the Indian service, urging them to do their utmost to save the lives of Indian babies. Three fifths of the North American Indian babies are dying in infancy on account of neglect of ordinary sanitary treat ment and lack of food, says MT. Sells. He declared that the Indian problem cannot be solved with Indians, and says that the race will become ey- tinct unless the United States awak- ems to the necessity of improving the conditions under which Indian children n h@ I% l Il

BILL FOR A PARK SERVICE
Proper Management of National Fairgrounds Likely to Pass.

Washington.-One of the measures before congress that seems likely to be adopted is the bill for the estab lishment of a national park service, introduced by Representative Kent. It provides that the service shall be part of the department of the interior and under the charge of a director ap- pointed by the secretary, and that this director shall have the supervision, management and control of the sever al national parks, national monuments. the Hot Springs reservation in Arkan- sas, and such parks, monuments and reservations as shall be established in the future.
 That the bill is in the nature of conservation measure Is shown by a section which authorizes the secretary of the interior to sell or dispose of timber in cases where the cutting of timber is requisite for controlling at serving the scenery; and that priv ileges. leases and permits shall be granted only for the accommodation of the public, and that no action shall be detrimental to the fundamental ob ject of these aforesaid parks, monu- ments and reservations, which object is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects therein and to provide for the enjoyment of said scenery and objects by the public in any manner and by any means that will leave them unimpaired for the en- joyment of future generations,

MIYATOVICR'S BRAVE WORDS

Cheddo Miyatovich, Serbian diplo- matist and poet, who visited America on mission from his country declares that until hope is dead Serbia will not die. Our friends speak of our nation al tragedy says he We are grateful for their generous sympathy. But our tragedy has not yet seen our tears, nor shall it ever see them.
 Our women suffer silently; our men die silently; we bear our sad bur den silently.
 Yet our tragedy is illumined by the light of hope. We lost, in honest struggle. all the territory of our king dom which we raised up from ruins by faithful love of national inheri- tance, by the self-sacriticing efforts of generation after generation But in this the darkest hour of our country's history we have not lost faith in God and his justice; we have not lost faith in ourselves. in our allies or in hu- manity; we have not lost faith in the ing ceaselessly onward, though some ometimes the ruins of national reputa.

port will be more interesting on this point. The 1914 report says in part:
 While the production of gunpowder decreased by 5,177,664 pounds in quan- tity and $75S,972 in value, or by 40.2 per cent and 43.7 per cent, respective ly, the production of smokeless pow der almost doubled, but the figures for it cannot be shown separately without disclosing the operations of individual establishments. The output of this product, therefore, is combined with that of guncotton, or pyroxylin, and the total included in other explos- ives'
 The production of smokeless pow der. guncotton or pyroxylin, and other explosives increased from g. 155,223 pounds to 26,400,071 pounds, or by 1884 per cent This amount in- cludes the production of establish ments operated by the federal govern ment. The output of this class of ex- plosives by commercial esta ablishments increased from 7,464,S25 pounds. val ued at $3,913,7S7, in 1909, to 21 1927 ,684 pounds, valued at $1,111,406, in 1914, the quantity increasing by 1857 per cent and the value by S1.7 per cent.
 There were Ill establishments in operation in 1914. 33 were in Pennsyl- vania, II in Ohio, g in Illinois, 8 in New Jersey, in West Virginia. in souri, 3 in Kansas. in New York. 2 each in Alabama.

 Can Meet Home Demand.
 Under war stress it has been esti- mated that the United States would need 30,000,000 pounds of powder per year, and a pound of cotton for a pound of smokeless powder would mean an enormous consumption Of the staple in this country alone. The total capacities of the plants in this coun- try, considering the probable output of other classes of explosives, is hard ly equal to a wartime demand of the United States, and while it has been the chief purpose of those who would have the United States manufacture it's own munitions, to reduce the cost to the government, the certainty of supply has been figured upon.
 The South produced less than 12,- 100000 bales last season. Reports from the states indicate that the production the coming season will be held down also AS soon as the European war is over there will be a demand for cotton in the minds of the experts, but until that period approaches they say there is no good reascn for increasing the

 MT McCreary served six years in the Kentucky legislature and was elected governor of the state in 1875 when he was thirty-two years old After that he was elected to the house of representatives, where he served twelve years, and then was transferred to the other end of the capitol as a United States senator.
