HEAR PROF. DANIELS.
Harold c. Booker, Editor of the Spar
tanburS Journal, Tells Lancas-
trians of Speakers Charm.

! Editor OF The News:
l note that Prof. d. w. Daniel.
of Clemson College, is to deliver the
address at your Chamber of Com
merce banquet Tuesday night. The
directors are to be congratulated
upon securing him for he is one Of
the most charming after-dinner
speakers in the south.
On the occasion of the annual ban
quet of te Spartanburg Chamber of
Commerce in February, Prof. Dan
iel delivered the chief address. To
say that he captured his audience
would not be expressive enough.
Round after round of applause greet
ed him all through his speech and
at its conclusion he was given an
ovation.
So charmed was Spartanburg with
him that the local T. p. A. post de-
cided to bring i'm back for their an
nual banquet some three weeks la
ter. He made fully as great a hit.
if not greater one, at this as at the
Chamber of Commerce banquet. The
travelling men appiauded him for sew
eral minutes when he concluded.
Prof. Daniel has a splendid line
of jokes and he tells them in splen-
did style. but between the jokes he
drives home some great truths.
l hope every man in Lancaster
who has the opportunity will hear
Prof. Daniel Tuesday night.
H. c. Booker.

WEARY or PERSONAL POLITICS.

Why does the State of South Caro-
lima continue the farcial county-to-
county campaign when such
large majority of its citizens are
weary of the bitterness it engenders?
We can see no satisfactory reason
for its existence and this is also the
view Of nearly every newspaper in
the state. The Charleston News and
Courier discusses the evil in the fol
lowing editorial and suggests that
the county conventions can help to
"b0lish il if they will:
In considering the political cam
Daign upon which South Carolina is
row entering one fact stands out
more conspicuOuslv than any other.
That fact is the deep reluctance Of
the peoplc to have any campaign at
all. There is n wcarineSs of per
sonal politics a desire for a policical
rest. which is so general that il can
not fail TO be impressive even to the
hardest of aspiring politicians.
This feeling on the part of the pub
| lie finds its reflection in the columns
OF the newspapers of every section
! Of the state. In particular here is
the demand for the Abandonment oil
the county-to-county joint debates
! At last there seems to be a general
awakening to the evils which this
| vicious system has fostered The
custom, as the Chester Reporter
points out. is one that mo Other
state has ever seen fit to adopt" NJ
system that could be devised would
do more to encourage factionalisn
and bitterness. None could be more
successful in the obscuring Of issues
The News and Courier believe
that the abolition of this baneful Gus
tom would do more than any othe
one thing to improve the tone o
South Carolina politics and rid tn
state OF demagoguery. 1t can onl,
be accomplished if. as the Greenvill
News suggests, the county conven
/; tions come out against it squarel
, land determinedly. Resolutions shoul
be introduced and voted at ever
county convention in the state. 1h
sentiment OF the people is alread
2 manifest but il needs TO be give
form and substance.

EXPORT LIVE FISH.

The feat of freezing live fish and re-
viving them several weeks or months
later has been achieved by the Swiss
scientist. M. Pictet. The scientist put
% live fish in a box that contained
water rich in oxygen, in which several
pieces of ice fioated. The tempera-
ture Of the water was then reduced
slowly until it froze. At the end of
about two months the cake Was grad
ually thawed, and the fish, it is said,
were found alive.
In such an experiment. the scientist
reports, it is essential that the water be
gradually frozen. and that it shall have
contained pieces of ice for from Is to
Is hours before the whole mass is
frozen. The process of thawing must
also be slow.
Through this process it is believed
that Siberian sturgeon and Alaska
salmon can be exported alive to dis
tant markets.-London It'd Bits.

ROOSEY PROVES 1T ON HUGHESY

At the eleventh hour and ffty-ninth
minute Roosevelt announced to the
Bull Moose National Committee that
he wouldn't try it again and would
support" Hughes as the only plan
available in an attempt to defeat Will
son. He admits that the hyphenated
foreign vote accomplished Hughes
nomination, but tries to plaster over
the real purpose of the hyphenates by
saying he thinks that it did more to
defeat RoOsey than for real love and
admiration of ~whiskered iceberg.
Even were that true We fail to see
how it helps to combat the contention
that Hughes is the candidate of the
foreign-born hyphenates. That being
proven now by Roosey himself, they
can safely bet their naturalization pa
pers that they have a mighty good
reason for it a2d are expecting what
they ask in return.
