Shad I'm Black River.

Hon ] w Ragsdale received the
following letter from Fish Commis-
sioner H M Smith, which will doubt
less be of interest to our readers:
Hon ] Willard Ragsdale,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D c.
My Dear Sir:
Confirming the statement l made
to you on the occasion of your recent
visit to this office,I beg to advise that
it is the intention of the bureau to
make plants of young shad in the
waters of eastern South Carolina
during the present season. The size
of the plants will depend on the col
lection of eggs at the shad hatcheries
in North and South Carolina, and
will be made as liberal as possible.
The waters which the bureau has
under consideration as desirable for
the reception of young shad are the
Black river at Kingstree. Lynch's
river at Effingham and Gainesville,
Black creek at Darlington and Harts-
vile and the Pee Dee and Santee
rivers at points where they are cross
ed by the railroads.
Thanking you for your interest in
maintaining the supply of shad in the
waters named.

Animals at Play.

That the lower animals do not
laugh, that they have no sense Of
humor, is hard to understand when We
think how thoroughly they love to
play. From the highest to the hum
blest, they show the keenest joy In
sport, but they cannot laugh! II they
could, perhaps the power would bring
with 1t other mental gifts, such as
to upset the whole order Of things. Be
that as it may, the watcher of wild
life never gets used to the sight of
their mirthless sport, for in all other
respects their play is entirely hui
man.

rious-desperately serious on the foot

MAKING H0USEW0RK EASIER
Modern Devices That Have Found .
Place In Most Of the Homes OF
the Country.

The sale of household and kitchen
utensils Is subject to all sorts OF
chances and changes from the fluctua-
tions in public taste and the march OF
Improvement. Wood bowls and mine
ing knives were once staples. but the
invention of food choppers has seri-
ously diminished their usefulness.
The growing popularity Of aluminium
utensils has had some setback be-
cause housekeepers find the metal
harder to keep clean and bright than
enamel ware.
The old-fashioned castiron pots, skill
lets and frying pans are out Of date
save in remote country districts, and
have given place to wrought-steel
utensils, much lighter and more last
ing. Every modern kitchen has like
wise up-to-date small conveniences.
such as mechanical lighters in place
of matches, asbestos mats to keep
things hot, soap containers for dish
washing, cool handled stove lifters, and
the like. One of the great changes
that has come in the household is the
vacuum cleaner, taking the place of
the broom, the carpet sweeper and
the carpet beater. and saving all this
hard hand labor, since the best and
most efficient cleaner is electrically
run and needs only to be attached to
the electric lighting plug.

EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT

Education may be divided into three
grand divisions: First, a school train
ing in the so-called three RS. This
is fundamental, and, without 1t. FUR
ther- education is impossible. Second
ly, broad or liberal education. such a.
is given in our high schools. colleges.
and other institutions of learning,
which do not specifically prepare one
for his vocation. Thirdly. education
directly bearing upon ones selected
calling, like that given by the medical
law, and technical schools.
In this article shall confine myself
to the second class. that of education
which stands between fundamental
and vocational training.
Authorities are divided. Some over
practical men claim that this cultural
education is not necessary, and that
the boy should jump Immediately from
the fundamentals into a training
which would directly assist him IN the
work of his life; other educational ex'
perts strongly advocate liberal edu-
cation, like that given in our colleges,
asserting that it will broaden the
mind and fit it better to grasp the re-
| quirements of the future. These lat
ter authorities do not object to the
technical training, but they would
have the young man ground himself
| in general culture, IL may put 1t that
way, before he obtains a vocational
training, or during the time in which
he is obtaining it.
Many of the colleges are following
out this idea, and adapting their cur
ricula to it, allowing the student to
study general subjects while he Is TAX
ing up one or more directly in the line
of his future work.
It has been said that one cannot be
too broadly educated. This is true.
provided this education can be OBJ
tanned without too great a sacrifice.
II boy is going to enter business
where he cannot directly use the class
ics or other cultural subjects, and can
not obtain a knowledge of them ex'
cept at enormous sacrifice, l advise
him to forego a college education; but,
II he is in a position to become I'D
orally educated. irrespective OF. his
coming calling, suggest for him
university course, or any other form
Of broad education, which will un.
doubtedly better fit his mind to absorb
the technique of his trade.
If, however. one is to enter q pro
fession, this general broad education
will be found of direct value to him
although he may not use all of 1t. His
mind then becomes his working tools
and it should be trained along the
broadest and most liberal lines, q
training which is not as necessary II
one is to enter business.
It is the man, more than the educa
ton. The education at best can only
assist him in his development.
In summing up. / would say: Gel
all the education you can. cultural and
otherwise, provided you can do q
without injury to your health or II
your prospects. II you are so situated
that you cannot well afford the time
because it is necessary for you to b.
self-supporting at an early age,
would suggest that you forego mucl
Of this education, which otherwise
would advise you to obtain.
. When in doubt, get more education
than you think you need, rather thai
less. 1t is simply a question Of wheth
er you can afford to pay the price.

VOOpytlButs IIIos Uy
DOLLARS AND SENSE.

Dollars count. Without them We
cannot procure food to eat. clothes to
wear or a roof to shelter us.
Dollars by themselves. however, are
worth mighty little, even in the mart
Of trade; for mere money. unaccom-
panied by a distributing agent, is as
valueless as would be work OF art
covered with burlap and stored in a
cellar.
Men of mark, taking them as they
run, and barring the few who are only
financially successful, have something
besides money. have done something
which money cannot do. They owe
their regulations in business, and out
of it, not wholly to the fact that they
are financially rich or commercially
influential.
Dollars without sense are as badly
of as would be sense without dollars
to provide for its wants.
The power of money. great as 1t Is.
is not vested wholly in money itself.
Its value is dependent upon what ao-
companies 1t.
The miser, even though his store
house is filled with ready cash, has no
standing in the community and Is not
on good terms even with himself. He
has accumulated, but he has not dis
tributed. He has made money and
done nothing else.
Good sense, common sense. Is worth
more than money, even assuming that
money can be obtained without it.
The man of sense stands higher ev-
erywhere than does the ian of dol
lars.
Common sense is to be priced above
all financial riches. With it all things
are possible. ithout it nothing
worth while can be accomplished.
| Men today are reckoned by their
sense, not by their dollars. Their
positions in business, in the profes-
sions, in the community, are depend
ent upon the amount Of common sense
they possess, with or without accom-
panying money.
Don't imagine, young man. that the
mere accumulation of money Is going
to give you any position of which you
may be proud, even among men OF
money.
When men die they leave only one
heritage which is remembered. and
that is what they have done for the
benefit of humanity, whether or not
this good has been accomplished by
willing money to schools, Libraries,
and charities, or Is obtained because
they left behind them an example
worthy to be followed.
Remember that draft drawn on
the Bank OF Earth is not payable al
the Bank of Heaven.
II you would have your money dc
you and others any good. mix sense
with it.
II you would have your business oi
benefit to you and to your community
or to those who labor under you. use
sense in conducting it.
Sense has q value in every market
Dollars are not good everywhere.
Sense and gumption are marketable
commodities. Without them the rich
est money man is poor indeed.

GERMANY PROTESTS
 /. BRITISH SEIZURE
Action of British Government in Seizing German Attaches Papers
 Violates International Law.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. IT, Ambassador Bernstorff, of Germany, has entered a protest with Secretary Lansing over the seizure of Captain von Papen's papers and letters while he was en route from America to his home in Germany. The ambassador asserts that the action of the British officers in interfering with the Ger man official is in violation of interna- tional law as he was guaranteed safe conduct through the war zone.
 It is not believed in official circles here that President Wilson will de mand the return of the papers taken from Captain von Papen by the Brit ish officers as he has announced that the American government would take no official recognition of the contents of the letters, copies of which have been sent to the American embassy at London.

FOUR DIED IN
 GAS EXPLOSION
 r, Hull of Submarine E.2 Reported by Navy Officials to Be Unharmed + by the Explosion.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.--Officials of the navy yard have announced that inspection of the submarine E-2 has shown that the vessel was not dam- aged by the explosion last Saturday, which caused the deaths of four per sons and injuries to many others. Ten of the injured are in hospitals and are reported to be recovering from the effects of the gas.
 'e, The explosion occurred while the batteries, which are of the new Edi- son type, were being recharged with hydrogen gas and the work of recov- ering the bodies of the men from the vessel was delayed for more than an hour owing to the gas preventing res cuers from entering the room where the explosion occurred.
 Mystery shrouds the cause of the explosion as the officials of the navy barred representatives of the press from the yards and have refused to discuss the accident. It is reported. however. that Secretary Daniels has appointed . committee of officials of the navy to investigate the explosion to ascertain If the batteries are faulty or.if the explosion resulted from the system Of recharging. f}"r''

MANY WANT COAL LANDS 0F ALASKA
Measure Passed by Congress Affects One Hundred and Fifty Bill
 lion Tons of Coal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The land leasing measure passed by the House last Saturday empowering the Secre- tary of the Department of the Inte- rior to make leases for coal and oil lands in the United States and Alas ka, will affect one hundred and fifty billion tons of coal and ninety bil- lion dollars worth of phosphates.
 It is estimated that more than 50 per cent of the coal lands which come under the leasing law are located in Alaska. The phosphate beds are lo- cated in the southern states, and are reserved by the government, as the phosphate deposits are valuable for fertilizers.
 Secretary Lane, of the Department of the Interior, has announced that his department has received hun dreds of applications for leases on coal lands in Alaska, indicating that there will be a rush to develop the coal deposits of the north in view of the general development of the ter ritpry.

SEWARD WILL G0
 10 RUSSIAN PORT Steamer Victoria, Which has Been on the Nome Run Will Come
 North as a Freighter.

SEATTLE, Jan. 16.-The steamer Victoria, of the Alaska Steamship company's Nome fleet, will replace the freighter Seward on the South western Alaskan run for a number of trips and will begin loading one mill lion feet of ties for the Copper River & Northwestern railroad tomorrow. The freighter Seward, 1t is an- nounced, has been chartered to make Ia number of trips between Puget Sound and Vladivostok in the serv- ice of Grace & Co.,, the we'll known shipping firm who have received a
 contract from the Russian govern
 ment for the delivery of one hum dred and twenty thousand tons of freight to the Russian port during the next few months.
 The Victoria will be sent north as Ia freighter and will go direct to Cor dova via the outside passage and on her return trip will bring a cargo of copper ore from the Kennecott mine Ito the Tacoma shelter.
 It is reported that the Alaska Steamship company has received lib- |eral offers for charters on other |freighters but have been forced to de-
 cline owing to >the heavy tonnage of ore shipments which are being offer ed by the Kennecott and other Alas
 kan mining companies.
 The new freighters recently pur-
 chased by the Alaska Steamship con- |pany, the Bennington and the Burl-
 ington, will reach Puget Sound about
 March 15, and will be pressed into
 immediate service in order that the
 Victoria may enter drydock to re- |ceive her annual overhauling in prep
 aration for the Nome service during the coming season.

 clemency, stating that this was their first offense, that they regretted 1t, and that they would not repeat the act
 The allegations against these two |midshipmen also include smoking, 1t being shown that they smoked clan |destinely on the roof of Bancroft Hall,
