To the Editor of the Telegraph:

city do the men use their horses in
meaner manner than do these
drivers. They must be trying to make
UP schedule time and the horses look

Wmsbura Citizen Seeks Help.

The Record was called upon last
Saturday to print few cards for a
practically helpless young man. to
be used in soliciting public aid for
himself AID wife and their five small
children. The young man is Leonard
Jones, of the Vox neighborhood. He
was paralyzed six years ago, he told
us, and has since been able to get
along and provide for his family
until now, when he is forced to ask
public aid. He told us that with
the assistance of his wife he had
managed every year to make a crop,
on rented land, and that his pros
poets for one this year were good
until the storm came in June and
destroyed it, and this is why he says
he is forced to ask assistance. Mr.
Jones wanted the cards he asked US
to print within an hour or so after
speaking to US about them. We
had to inform him that under the
circumstances we could not print
them before the following Monday.
He said if he could not get them at
once they would do him no good, as
he wished to pass them out while
here that afternoon. We told him
that we would state his case in the
columns of The Record this week,
and that the good people of the
county, who were in a position to
do so, would probably come to his
assistance as they had done in simi-
lar instances of distress made public
through its columns.

Chauiauqua Coming Again.

The third visitation of the Rad.
cliffe Chautauqua attractions in
Kingstree is scheduled for Novem'
Der 7, 8 and 9. Heretofore these
attractions have been a source OF
splendid entertainment and highly
enjoyed by the people of the county.
Last year the guarantors fell short
in the amount of money pledged and
had to make up the difference out
of their own pockets. This was
probably due to bad weather. But
we trust that the people of the town
and county will remember that the
mem who sign for this course OF
high class entertainment do not do
so with a view to making money; all
they want is enough to pay expenses
and it behooves you to lend your
assistance to those who have taken it
upon themselves to bring these en-
tertainments into the town, by pur-
chasing season tickets.
The chautauqua will be here dur.
ing two days of the county fair and
should be success in all particulars.
The place of holding will be decided
upon as soon as a meeting of the
guarantors can be held and this
should be done without delay.

THURSDAY. SEPT. 21. 1916.

Cotton is steadily advancing in
price, and to enable the farmers to
reap the benefits they should hold
their cotton off the market for the
present. 1t is thought by men who
have studied the situation that cot
ton will go to zoe per pound before
the 1917 crop is harvested.
The State Warehouse System was
established to enable farmers to
hold their cotton and borrow money
on cotton certificates at low rates.
There are several of these ware
houses in the county at the disposal
of farmers who wish to hold their
cotton.

A correspondent of the Bishop
vile Leader and Vindicator sends
the following to that paper from
Stokes Bridge:
Come all We "Bleasites"
If you want to know,
The story of how the election did go:
Richard | Manning,
Is the rounder's name.
!In the Governors office
Where he won his fame.
He has been our Governor
For the last two years,
In spite of all the Bleasites' tears;
They fought mighty hard,
But twas all in vain
Fer Richard | Manning
is our Governors name.
Chorus:
Richard ! Manning
Who still holds his office,
Richard / Manning
Is the FOUNDERS name,
Richard l Manning
Has been reelected
For the Governors office
Where he won his fame.
Hurrah for Manning.

and chorus can be easily sung to the

SUBDUING ANGRY B!LLOWS.
How a Turbulent Sea May Sc Gained
by Rising Air Bubbles.

Philip praSher, Young engi-
neer and a grHdnat" o: PRINCETON
university. SAID To himself not long
ago, "If the wind !JI&.,2> tie WAYS.
WHY not use air II motion N an
other WAY to >;Ii, he Storm tossed
waters" .\ad thr mn.t .siGni<I!
part OF TINS seemingly ia&cItul id"a
is that he has made it a TACT True.
he has not ca!,aed the tempest. but
he has robbed the waves Of their
power to do harm and saved cost
ly pier that would in all likelihood
have been smashed to bits or badly
damaged BY the billows. He was
able to perform this seeming mar
vel at Ell Segundo, Cal, by means
of breakwater Of bubbles.
This novel breakwater is moth
ing more than iron pipe laid upon
the oceans sandy bottom. It is
pierced with small holes, from
which streams Of air bubbles can
rise surfaceward when compressed
air is forced into the piping. The
pipes are laid so as to rest right
across the path Of the oncOming
waves, and the rising bubbles catch
the waves before they can reach the
pier and rob them Of their strength
by upSetting the motion inside of
the waves. The billows collapse
like stricken giants and then roll
landward without power enough
left to do the pier harm. "But," "
you will ask, Chow can air bubbles
do what big stone wall sometimes
fails to do?"
To the eye each wave seems to
be a separate body of surging wa
ter and apparently goes sweeping
along. But this is not really the
fact. The mass of the water does
not move forward. A wave robbed
of its internal motion collapses and
cannot pass on this motion to the
water next ahead of it. In short,
it cannot create another wave. The
way to upset this internal motion,
then, is to disturb or break up the
body of the wave. Mr.. Brasher
does this by the explosive action Of
rising air bubbles, and thus he halts
the travel of the energy which
causes wave after wave.-Robert G..
Skerrett in st. Nicholas.
