ABSeLUT LAUGHS AT
DEMOCRACY IN STATE
Only One Military Channel IN South
Carolina: The Private OfGce Of the
Miiitaristic Governor.

Columbia, May 10.-Major Thomas
II. Spratt Of Fort Mill, will be heuteu
ant colonel Of the First regiment,
South Garonnas infantry, now in the
federal Service, engaged In sthe per
formance Of guard duty In South Car
Olina. Governor Manning wired the
recommendation to Secretary Of War
Baker this afternoon.
Major Spratt Is at present the COIL
maanding officer Of the Second batta-
Mon, First regiment. He received his
military training at the Citadel, where
he was a student for three and a half
years, resigning to return home and
take a position in bank there. He
has been engaged in the banking busl-
ness since. He was commissioned as
captain In the national guard in 1901.
and was promoted to the position OF
major on June %, 1916, shortly be-
fore the First regiment went to the
Mexican border. He served on the
border with the regiment as major.
He will succeed Col. McCully, recently
promoted to the rank Of colonel.
Governor Manning today also re-
commended Beverly NJ. Epps, of Edge
field, for the position Of surgeon OF
the First regiment, with the rank OF
first lieutenant.
Additional Companies.
1--WE have absolutely no information
ia regard to the matter. This ofice
was not informed or consulted about
it, and 4 knew nothing of 1t until
read 1t in the newspaper" said Adju-
taat General William W. Moore, today
when asked In regard to the raising
OF two additional companies Of engin-
eers in South Carolina, which Mr. ]
: M. Johnson, OF Marion, chairman OF
the State highway commission, said in
an interview published In this morn
ing's papers that Governor Manning
had requested him to raise under a
call from the war department.
That the adjutant generals onice
has been practically ignored by the
governor in important matters con-
Rected with the military forces OF the
State Is known, and has been sub
ject of comment. The adjutant gen.
eral has not discussed the matter for
publication, but there hah been de-
eided emphasis several times OF late

There appears to be only one mill
tary channel in South Carolina now
and that the governors Office. In
order to keep the record straight it
may also be stated in this connection
that General Moore Is not what Is
known as a "Blease supporter and
therefore his official ostracism shows
that the attempted concentration Of
power in the west wing Of the State
house has even overreached faction
al political lines.
Faetionalism Rampant.
Factionalism and partisanship have
been carried to such an extreme in
the various appointments and other
matters that last week it began to
dawn upon the powers that be that
the pendulum had swung so far that It
was being strained and bent against
the bar which was liable at any mo-
ment to speed it back across the arc,
and the crp went up: Help me, Cas-
sius, or sink" In spirit Of patriot
ism-of loyalty to South Carolina In a
crisis, when all good citizens are will

offered, but up until thds afternoon It
had not been accepted
It is known that early last week
Governor Manning sent for leading
member of the Reform party in South
Carolina and held a conference with
him, and that later this gentleman
sent the governor the following let
ter, on May 3, seven days ago:
Columbia, May 3, 1917.

Some Revelations.

A review of the appointments and
OF executive activity since the war
emergency arose will reveal that the
situation with regard to the adjutant's
Office Is not peculiar. The department
Of agriculture, commerce and indus
tries was relegated to back seat by
the appointment of a civic prepared
ness conlAhssion, with Mr.. D. Co
ker, Of Haft&ille, Sa. chairman. Vt Is
true the commissioner Of agriculture
was placed ON the committee as a
member. There has been absolutely no
statement nor any remark, 80 far as
is known, from Commissioner Wat
sons Office in regard to the matter,
and Colonel Watson has co-operated
with the committee zealously and ef-
fectiYely and his department has been
rendering its usual splendid service to
the State, in accordance with its Gu
ties as prescribed by the law. A glance
at the committees appointed ana al
the sneakers selected will serve to
show of what political faith they were
The lineup could hardly have been
more distinct, with one or two exceF-
tons. than if the campaign proposed
had been purely political, instead OF to
urge the people to increase and to
conserve the food resources Of the
State.
/ The facts mentioned here are an IN
dication of the general condition IN
which South Carolina finds herself IN
q time, above all times, when the Ell.
fort should be to unity the people and
coordinate their activities looking TO-
wards mutual helpfulness.

1t does not take a statesman, a stu
dent or a seer to realize that South
Carolina cannot uphold the traditions
of her past if every public activity Is
to be circumscribed and pledged about

and by a concentration of power to
the exclusion OF departments Of gov
ernment created by the constitution

living room and kitchen, and shifts
the walls so that the jolst spans will
not be excessive, causing heavy ex-
pense. and he sees the relation which
room arrangement has to exterior ap-
pearance.
The home builder Is often dlsap-
pointed when be finds that the archi-
tect has changed great deal OF what
hns been worked out after months Of
study. Sometimes he doesn't realize
that the changes mean, perhaps, the
saving Of great many dollars in the
construction Of the house. II would,
no doubt, have been more logical for
him to consider the house from the
architects point Of view before allow
ing the fascination Of arranging the
rooms to take hold Of him.
There Is one type of house. however.
which yields to widely diversified
arrangement Of rooms without caus-

house he may be reasonably sure that
the architect will not be forced to
change II great deal In the result of the
efforts Of the occupants In building up
their home.
The bungalow comes nearer to meet
ing the average persons idea Of home
than any other type of modern build
ing. One Of the reasons Is that there
IS no wasted space in the bungalow.
Every nook and corner is utilized and
is in use all the time. This reason has
perhaps more effect In creating the
impression of cOZiness than any other.
II is almost impossible to get the coy
idea in n house that Is designed so
that there Is considerable spnce vast
ed. In such house the coZiness Is
sacrificed for some other effect that is
wanted. 1t is possible TO get many
other effects in the house, such as
grandeur. elegance. etc. but this does
not impress the average person much
in the design of a home.
The little bungalow shown here has
that homelike, coZy appearance that
typifies the average persons Idea OF
real home. All the structural features
of the bungalow combine TO give this
impression. The roof Is very low and
is made with fiat pitch. The caves
have wide OyerlIang. which Is one OF
the most inviting features Of bun
gaIow. The wide caves and the low

The bungalow nj its best is built
very close 10 the ground. In cold eli
mates such result cannot be obtained
because Of the necessity Of having a
basement that is adequate TO hold a
heating plant The same low-built ef-
feet Is Obtained by building the bun
gaiow with wide caves and with fiat
pitched roof
This bungalow IL built far enough
above the ground 50 that Il basement
can be provided with the necessary
windows and without too much exCa-
walton. The porch also aids material
ly In getting this same effect of being
close to the ground. 1t is very broad
and is built under n separate gable
from the house The broad. fat roof
and the heavy porch pillars give II
coy. Inviting appearance.
The floor plan calls for five rooms
that are arranged in convenient
style. On one side Of the house Is the
living room. dining room and kitchen

and on the other is the bathroom and
two bedrooms.
The main entrance to the house Is
through door at one corner Of the
living room. This room Is Of good
size, being Is by 10 feet. A big fire
place occupies almost one side n the
room. 1t IL almost necessary TO have
big fireplace in a bungalow, as no
house Of this type would seem to be
complete without one. II Is generally
placed In the living room, though 1t
may be In the dining room or some
time In a small den built of the living
room. On either side of the fireplace
in this design Is narrow bookcase
with q window over each one. There
is also n wide window facing out onto
the front porch. Plenty of wall space
Is provided. 81 that some carefully
chosen furniture can be obtained to
fit IN with the general scheme of this
room.
In hack of thr living room. and con
neCted to II ny double swinging doors,
Is the dining room. This room has n
convenient built-in sidebOard, and
there Is also side entrance TO the
house that opens into It.
In the kitchen Is the inside entrance
to the basement, which also has an
outside entrance placed alongside the
back porch. A well-arranged and
handy pantry is built off the kitchen.
The bedrooms are placed one at the
front Of the house and one at the back,
with the bathroom between. This Is
one Of the best methods Of arranging
this part Of the house.

Office Man is Safest Risk.

Do you know how much risk of in
jury or death there is in your daily
occupation? The actuary of the state
wOrzmen's compensation department
has it all figured out in dollars and
cents.
The man who takes the least risk
is the man employed in Office work,
such as bank clerk.
Office employees are rated at a
premium of IL cents on each $1OO for
the aggregate pay roll of the institu-
ton by which they are employed.
Newspaper men are rated at 1S cents
on the 500. This includes all branches
of the newspaper business, represent
ing a chance of 1S in 1000 that a
newspaper man will be killed or in
jured in the line of duty.
The figures indicate that a window
cleaner takes his life in his hands
every time he crawls around on the
outside of building letting the day
light in. He is rated at $4.65 per $100.
The highest premium rate is $8.35,
on the professional wrecker, who runs
the risk of having a brick building
fall on him.
