Hall, headed the list of eight contest

unexpected skill and earned the right
to enter the finals over w. Z. Sauer, the
Illinois A. c. expert, and A S. Lyon of
the Fencers' Club of New York.
Bowman in his characteristic, ener-
getic fashion, disposed of five rivals in
quick fashion, but was beaten himself
when he opposed Hall and Russell. The
Olympic epee wielder scored over V: P.

lay of the Crescent A. c., Lyon, Sauer
and Mclaughlin. Sauer and Russell
each took the measure of Hall. while

Laughlin fell before the tall Mercury
Foot fencer.
Sauer. who on Wednesday night quail
flied with the highest mark for the
foils championship, lost an opportunity
to contest for the dueling sword title
when he fenced a double touch with
Curti. Up to this bout Sauer had
broken even, with three victories and
three defeats, and had he beaten Curt
he would have been thrown into a tie
for third and fourth places with Rus

fund from their members.

Chairman John Gary Evans OF Spar
tanburg presided and in opening the
meeting briefly explained its purpose,
A. z. Padgett of Edgefeld offered e
complete written plan to the commit
tee. by request, as he explained, anu
this formed the basis for the discus
sion that begun the meeting. 1t pro-
vided. in brief, that an enrolment
book be sent to the captain of each
company, which should be kept open
for registration from the date OF its
receipt until the first Tuesday in Au-
gust. All enlisted men and officers
living in the county from which 1he
company came would be allowed to
register therein and vote on election
day. On election day the captain CT
each company was authorized to ap-
,oint three managers Of elections, wnf
we're to take charge of the boxes IN
that particular company, receive the
ballots, count them and forward the
returns to the county chairman of the
county by registered mail. This re-
turn was to be preceded by tele-
graphic report. Polls were to open
at 8 O'Clock and close at u o'clock.
Men From Other Counties.
Harry H. Blease of Newberry at
tackled this plan because, he said, It
made no provision for the counties
not represented by companies. The
executive committee was required to
make provision that would allow ev'
ery man enlisted to vote, and men
serving in companies which repre-
sented other counties would be by the
plan proposed denied vote, he stat
ed. The chairman pointed out that to
make adequate provision for every
county in every company would be
impractical in the extreme. These
two views were both represented and
emphasized in the discussion which
followed
On motion OF w. R. Richey, Jr., Of
Laurens, the question was referred tc
committee of five to make a repor;
at 2 O'Clock. The chairman appoint,

This will be made by the state de-
partment and the customs. authorities
as soon as the ship puts into Balti-
more.
Which ever way the issue is de-
cided new questions of international
law are almost sure to be added to
the many which the war has pro-
duced for the United States.
AS warship, the Deutschland
would be required to leave an Ameri-
can port within "a hours of her ar
rival, unless additional time was re-
quired to make her seaworthy.
AS purely a commercial ship, she
would be free to enter and leave
American ports. If she should VEN
fure to return to Germany the subma-
rine would enjoy the protection OF
the United States within the three
mile limit. If she should fall prey to
hostile warships On the high seas, the
concern of this government, in its
stand for safety of peaceful CONNER
cial ships, would be governed entire
ly by the conduct and character OF
the submarine itself.
State department officials were dis
posed to accept the statement of the
German captain that his is mer-
chant ship.
Probably Has Gums.
It is supposed that the Deutschland
does carry some guns, but if they are
of the type generally mounted Oh
submarines, they are of the disap-
pearing kind, of comparatively light
calibre and probably will not fall un-
der the ban, unless i IS developed
that the guns can be trained ahead
instead of only aft.
One point of much interest to Of
fcials here is the ownership Of the
Deutschland. 1t is conceivable tha:
if it should appear that the ship is
owned and operated by the German
government, that fact might cause
officials to regard her as not partak-
ing Of the character of a merchant
ship but rather that of naval aux
iliary.
The attitude of the British and
French governments is uncertain. Il
is probable that they will seek legal
grounds for OBTAINING her.

man submarine which arrived a.

SOWS' BEDDING OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
No Reason for Deep Layer in
FarroWing Pen During Mild
Weather of Autumn.

There is no reason for deep layer
Of bedding over the floor of farrow-
ing pen this time of year. Large sows
especially are more liable to lie on
their pigs If the bedding is thick. A
lighter and more active sow can wade
around better without walking on the
little ones, but even in her case there
is more risk of losing pigs when much
bedding is used than there is when lit
tie Is used.
OF course n fresh supply of clean,
dry bedding just before narrowing time
is important in furnishing clean and
wholesome surroundings for the pigs
when they are very young-starts them
off in good health-but the quantity
need not be great. Cleanliness is the
important thing. This is no time in a
pigs life to make him rough it.
The guard rail around all sides Of
the pen is another matter we cannot
afford to forget. A convenient guard
rail is one fastened to the wall with
hinges so it will swing up out of the
way when not needed. When in use 1t
Is supported at right angles with the
wall by short legs resting on the floor.
The old kind built to stay is depend
able and saves the pigs.

Ehrhart outlines Road Plan.

Thos ]. Ehrhart. state highway COM
missioner, has somewhat different
plan for centralizing the control OF
road building in Colorado from that
offered by other experts. Mr.. Ehrhart
is strong exponent of the centraliza-
ton plan, but offers a less circuitous
path, some students of the problem
believe, to achieving 1t than that
which entails the practical abolish
ment of the present highway statutes,
with bond issue of S25,OOO.OO0. Mr..
Ehrhart's plan involves in effect the
same provisions as that submitted by
other experts to the state survey COM
mittee, which has undertaken clear
ing house." statewide suggestion
method of framing practical law. but
it does not give the state highway
commission plenary control, nor take
maintenance responsibility for state
roads off the shoulders of the county
authorities. Under the plan proposed
to the state survey committee the
highway commission would be EN-
powered to take over all state roads
after they are completed and keep
them in condition, and have advisory
control over the county roads. Mr..
Ehrhart's proposal provides that the
highway commission shall have only
authority to compel the counties to do
the necessary amount of maintenance
work. 1t provides also for road over
seers, chosen by competitive examina-
ton If necessary, in each county. who

ROYAL REVENGE.

IRE AoArt
lO0sPsessA ssro~aD

QUEEN CHRISTINA of Sweden. only
~ daughter of the great and good Gus
tavus Adolphus, kept all the gossips
of Europe in ferment for many
years. After holding down the throne
of her fathers for four years, she vol
unfairly abdicated in favor Of her
cousin, in order that she might travel
and enjoy herself. AT that period she
was young and beautiful and the most
learned and accomplished woman of
her time, and it is not strange that the
"Welcome to Our City" sign was hung
out whenever she deigned to visit a
burg.
Tov-.rd the close of the year 1857
she honored France with her presence,
and the palace of Fontainebleau was
turned over to her with the compli-
ments of the season. She was attend
ed by a royal retinue of servants, and
also by her grand equerry, Marquis
Monaldeschi.
This gentleman. rs his name sug-
gests, was an Italian, and for a con-
siderable time had been the queens
favorite. They were recognized as
lovers and, since the queen had abdi-
Gated, it seemed more than possible
that they would be married and go to
housekeeping. The marquis was ex-
traordinarily handsome and gifted in
all the graces and polite mannerisms

An American Paris.

That man who originally named Ha-
vana the Paris of the Western Hemis-
phere" had a discerning eye. Yet he
deserves little credit. The title was
inevitable-the parallel is so striking.
Not that Havana looks so much like
Paris, but that its atmosphere and
spirit are so epitomic of the French
capital. To stroll down the Prado or
along the Malecon of summers night,
you would think the people of the city
were entirely given over to pleasure.
Restaurants, theaters, cafes and roof
gardens furnish amusement for thou
sands, while royal palms and beautiful
flowers form q fairylike setting.

Effect Of Darkness on Gold Fish.

A scientist kept gold fish in a roomy
tank and with plenty of food, but in
absolute darkness. He kept it up for
three years, and then observed the
notifications that had occurred in the
fish. The color first became black, but
after the second year 1t became golden
again, and the reason for this is inter-
esting. In the first instance the dark
pigment cells spread out and covered
the subjacent layer of crystals which
gives the gold fish its golden sheen. In
the second instance the phagocytes de-
voured the dark pigment cells, and thus
re-exposed the golden layer. The
changes in the eye We're even more in
teresting. The structure of the eye
was completely altered. The fish be-
came totally blind. The experiment
suggests that an individual fish impris-
oned in perfectly dark cave would
become blind. But 1t does not throw
any direct light on the origin of blind
race of fishes in caves.-New York

PLANS TO PRESERVE MANURE
Put It Together In Water-Tiaht Pit
Outside Stable-Of Importance
to Save Liquid.

For horses and dairy cows, perhaps
the best method of preserving the ma
nure is to put it together into water
tight pit outside the stable, into which
the urine can be drained If sufficient
bedding Is not used to absorb it. 1t
is important that the urine and the
dung be kept together, as neither by
itself is n well-balanced manure.
If cattle are to be kept in stables
or covered sheds, the best method for
preserving the manure is to make the
floors water tight with sliding man.
gers, and use plenty of bedding. The
manure will be kept packed by the
continual tramping Of the animals, so
that no loss through heating and fer
occurs, and the urine will be
entirely absorbed.
