A Watch Repairing Tip.
It's astonishing how many fine
watches are ruined each year by be-
ing placed in the hands of poor and
inexperienced workmen for repairs.
A slight oversight on their part often
causes an unnoticeable grinding and
chucking that will wear out the best
movement made in a short time. Why
run the chances? Leave your repair
ing in our hands, and you'll get all
that long experience and honesty can
give. Stokes, the Jeweler, Milford.

In loving remembrance of our dear
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Jester, who de-
parted this life September 10th, 1915.
Rest dear mother, your labors are over,
Thy willing hands shall toll no more;
No more thy gentle eyes will weep
Rest, dear mother peacefully sleep.
The days were dear. sweet mother dear,
When you were in our midst;
Your sweet smile we no more see,
Your sweet voice we no more hear.
We know not when we may be called
To meet you face to face.
Sadly missed by CHILDREN.

There never was change in you.

Should Make No Change Now.

The State Board of Education is
planning for the adoption of a large
number of new next books for the pub
lie schools, which means that thou
sands of dollars worth of books that
are reasonably we'll preserved will be
discarded altogether as worthless or
disposed of for a mere song. Were
the matter Of making a change at this
this time discretionary with the board,
it should have deferred the sweeping
change until the next year or the year
after.
The Advertiser has been in
sympathy with those who believe that
the same books should be used indefi-
litely without the. adoption of newer
and better books, books that are more
in keeping with modern methods OF
teaching. But on the other hand, in a
crisis like the one which now confronts
US, we do not believe parents should be
forced to incur considerable expense in
order to change text books. Continu-
ing the same books for q year or two
would save a considerable sum at a
time when economy IS being preached
on every hand, and the schools or pu-
pills would suffer but little.

York. The interest on pensions alone
in New York, compoundedfo for so years,
would amount to an inc%onceivable sum.
Another thing that has enabled New
York to amass such immense wealth
has been her commerce. which con-
sisted almost exclusively of manufac-
tured goods, while that of the South,
and South Carolina in particular, has
consisted of raw material. The profit
on manufactured goods is enormous as
compared with that on raw material.
Indeed, much of the time South Caro-
lina's raw material has been sold at or
below the cost of production. Under
such conditions New York and other
Northern States will grow richer by
leaps and bounds, while South Carolina
and other raw material producing
States will increase in wealth at a
much slower pace.

Governments Estimates Not Guesses.

Whenever the heads of departments
in Washington, after making all possl-
BILE research and Investigation, make an
estimate it can generally be relied
upon. Occasionally they go far afield,
but sources through which the depart
ments receive information are them
selves not infallible. When the call
was made for registration under the
selective draft law, the director of the
census was requested to examine his
records bearing upon the male. inhabi-
tants between the ages of q and 80,
inclusive, and make IN estimate of the
number who would be liable for regis
tration. The figures were placed at
10, 600, 900. A great many persons
were skeptical, stating that so large a
number would not be included in the
ten years.
The practically complete returns
from all the States give a total regis
tration of 9,6l1, S16. Add to this num-
Der the men who are already in the
army, navy and national guard and
the grand total will easily reach TO-
900, 600.
Do not be too much disposed to dis
count or discredit government esti-
mates. They are far from being wild
guesses.

Incomes and Wealth Widely Differ.

Some idea of the relative wealth OF
the two sections, as well as the vary
ing incomes, can be gained through the
income tax collected during the year
now closing. In the State of New
York the enormous sum of Sl10, 43l,-
$50 was collected under the federal in
come tax law, while in South Carolina
only s547, SAG was collected. A num-
Der of things have contributed to this
enormous wealth of New York in
comes representing of course a pro-
n~ortionate amount Of wealth.
In this connection it would be inter
esting to know how much money has
zone into the State of New York du-
ring the past so years in federal pen
sions alone. That which has found Its
way into South Carolina is infinitesl-
mally small as compared with New

Ports Of Embarkation.

The announcement was made several
days ago that Charleston and Savan,
nah have been selected as ports from
which troops and supplies will be ship
ped to Europe. Apparently, these
ports have not received the c%onsidera-
ton in the past from the national gov
srnment that they should have receiv-
ed. 1t is conceded that, from the
standpoint of deep water, accommo-
dating some of the largest craft %af1oat,
Charleston ranks among the first ports
of the country, and yet it has never
received recognition in a large sense
from the government. Even the navy
yard in Charleston is not regarded as
of any considerable value and had it
not been for the persistent efforts of
Senator Tillman. 1T would doubtless
have been abandoned But # Charles
ton is extensively used as a port of en-
b%arkatior, a sort of base of supplies, du-
ring the war, it will put the city and
port on the naval map in large letters.

Southern Made Good Roads.

Without accident to a single
train or passenger, the Southern
Railway System established a spen-
did record in the handling of the
immense travel to the annual re.
union of the Confederate Veterans
at Washington, the attendance at
which was greater than at any pre-
vious reunion.
From the morning of June 3 to
noon of June s, the Southern
handled into Washington for this
patriotic event a total of 36,490
passengers. To accommodate this
movement, forty-three special trains
were operated besides 5l2 special
cars on the twelve regular trains
operated into and out of Washing
ton every day. The operation of
both the regular and special trains
into Washington was accomplished
without undue delays, special pre-
caution and care having been ex-
ercised by the S%outhern's entire
organization to make the movement
q
The return movement began We'd
nesday evening, June 6, and from
that time until Saturday at noon
the Southern handled out of Wash
ington twenty special trains in ad-
dltion to the regular trains, all leav-
ing Washington on the scheduled
time arranged for them. AS the
veteran tickets are good to return
until June 81, many of the veterans
and visitors are taking advantage
of the time to visit friends and will
return home on regular trains so
that only about twenty-five extra
trains will be needed to provide for
their homeward jurney'
