When the war in Europe IS
over there will be one great
scramble by the nations at strife
in al effort to regain the com
merce of the worlds which they
have lost to the United States
while engaged in the doubtful
pastime of Sitting each others
throats. Desperate measures
will be de lised by the shrewdest
minds of the old world in their
campaign for commercial self
preservation. and to meet this
united onslaught the fnanciers
and manufacturers and other
powers Of the business interests
of our own country should be

of protection which even time

INGENUITY OF MAN ZET IN ITS INFANCY

Several years ago a cumber-
some contrivance on two wheels
made s appearance and created
"a furore Of ridicule. iaug hter
and ieers. It was the bicycle.
1t was called a rich mans toy
and a molycoddle's plaything
and short life was predicted.
But the prophets were at fault:
the bicycle became the greatest
craze Of its day, and now is in
general use as a practical neces-
slty for people who find it neces-
sary to cover ground hurriedly
and yet can not afford the more
expensive means.
A few years later another ug-
ly looking monster puffed and
snorted and ratified its way into
public notice, leaving in it's
wake streak of smoke and
foul smelling odors. 1t was the
automobiles, and it, too. was
greeted with wild shouts and
erimaces of rldicule. The wise
and the unwise both predicted
its failure as practical vehicle
of motive power. Yet the mil
lions in use today testify to the
falseness Of the greatest of our
prophets.
A few weeks ago there ap-
peared in one of our Atlant tic
ports great and powerful mer-
chant submarine. 1t came from
Germany and had nosed its way
beneath the surface into neutra |
waters despite the watchfulness
Of the warships of the allies.
Another furore was created and
the newspapers were filled with
accounts of the wonderful craft
that had made its way across the
Atlantic with cargo of goods
Again the prophets see failure
ahead. but there are those who
believe the Deutschland to be
bat the harbinger Of a great feet
of underwater craft capable OF
conducting commercial relations
with other countries irrespective
Of blockades or enemy ships of
war.
These few instances but illus.
trate the fact that the ingenuity
of man is yet in It's infancy. that
the surface Of scientific discov-
el., LIS scarcely been scratched,
and t t our children and our
children's children will look
back upon 1916 as we think of
the Dark Ages, when the mind
of man was sleeping in it's cradle
of lethargy.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

W. Banks Dove, candidate for
Secretery of State: opened the
speaking. Mr.. Dove told of his
eight years as chief clerk to the
Secretary of State, and of his
early life as school teacher and
as teacher in the night mill
schools of Columbia. George w.
Wightman, for the same Office,
told of his record in the Senate
m opposition t. the compulsory
education. child labor and other
bills.
S. T. Carter, for reelection as
State Treasurer, said he was
proud Of his record in the treas.
urer's Office, and said everyone
was satisfied with it except his
opponent. He said when making
a#davits on which he got free
tuition for his daughters at Win
throp he was not connected with
a banking institution and had
just lost his house by fire. His
vote on the refunding bond issue
was a vote for the best business
interest of the State. D. W.
McLaurin. for the same Office,
advocated the placing Of all old
soldiers of the Confederacy and
their widows on the roll of honor
by pensioning all of them. He
asked the people to support leg
islative candidates who are in
favor Of this measure. He at
tackled Mr.. Carter for sending
his daughters to Winthrop on
free tuition, saying he is presi-
dent Of bank in addition to
being State treasurer. He also
attacked Mr.. Carter for his vote
on the bond refunding matter.
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
The candidates for railroad
commissioner came next. G. Nc
Dutfie Hampton, for reelection,
told of the physical inspection
Of the railroads and of his reso-
| luton which caused the replac-
ing of modern trestles with con-
crete and steel structures, and of
his record. W. H. Kelly favored
more railroads and told of how
they build up the country. V. I.
Thrower said he is the only can
didate for railroad commissioner
east of Columbia. He told OF
Charleston building the first
railroad and advocates readjust
ment Of rates which will make
Charleston again the gateway OF
the South. saying he already
sees signs Of Charleston again
becoming tho gateway of the
Mississippi Valley to all South
America. ''I'm lame in the leg,
but my opponents are lame in
the head, said James CanSler,
keeping the crowd laughing with
hits al his opponents. Albert S.

of his county convention, Ander-

In the SIeepino Room.

Sleeping rooms should be cold. At
least one window should be opened
top and bottom all the time. The bed
should be as far from the windows as
possible, in a corner out of the direct
draft. The same treatment applies to
small children and babies as we'll as
to their parents. The mother who can
convince herself of this will get re-
suits. She will discover that her baby,
If properly clothed and with a blanket
pinned around his crib to prevent a
current of air, will sleep more quietly,
learn to keep under his bed clothing
and will not catch cold so easily. OF
course this does not apply to ailing
infants or those under six weeks Of
age.
