The Herald management began to
get pretty uneasy last Thursday when
the mill closed down on account Of
the strike The Herald has an elec-
trio generator at the cotton mill, op-
Grated by the mills engines, which
supplies the day current for the plant.
Of course our current stopped with
the mill shutting down. The Office
happened to be flooded With an un-
usual amount of work, some of which
had to be delivered on certain date.
of course we were mighty glad when
the mill started operations again.
We are also glad that settlement
was effected, for. OF all times. We
think this is the worst that could be
selected for a strike Of any kind.

A few days ago this dispatch ap-
peared in the papers from Charleston
w. Va:
Every able-bodied male of West
Virginia between the ages of Is and
so must work at least &c hours a
week under a law passed yesterday
by both houses of the legislature.
The bill was urged by Governor
CornWeII as a war measure.
Such a law has much to commend
itself. and it would not be a bad
measure for every State to enact dur
ing the war. Loafers have no, place
in a nation that is confronted by a
food crisis. Even though a person
is financially able to refrain from
work. somebody must work to make
bread and meat for him, and he takes
lust that much food without giving
anything in return for it except mon
ey-and one cannot eat money. And
there are a great many people who
manage somehow to live and never
give either money or work for the
living. Bamberg has some of both
classes, and the sooner they are put
work the better OFF everybody Will be-

The present agitation of the So
called ''reformers" is such small pol
itics that it is hardly worthy Of men
ton, and we are surprised that some
of the leading newspapers are giving
SO much free space to advertising 1t.
The thing is so absurd that it is
laughable. For any man, who boast
ed on the stump that he would make
his enemies sweat blood and wished
for. all kinds of disasters to fall on
him if he ever failed to stand by
his friends" to howl because some
of his personal followers failed to be
appointed to responsible positions by
the man who defeated him, is to dis
play anew a characteristic personal
ity which South Carolina is fortu-
nate to be rio of just at this time.
The criticism of the governor for
failure to raise a third regiment is
another instance of smallnesS. The
following comment by ]. NJ. Des-
Champs-who is not fool, whatev-
er else one may think of him-eX-
presses the matter pretty thoroughly:
This same element in our State is
not only loud in fault finding with out
State administration but is equally
ready to find fault with the admin
istration OF our nation. Such con-
duct is but little short OF treason.
For the leadership OF Mr.. Wilson is
such as will unite our nation into one
solid citizenship as it has never been
united since it's very founding, to say
nothing OF the undreamed Of bless
ing he will confer upon the entire
world abroad.
The present third regiment agita-
ton going on is the cheapest politics
l have yet witnessed in South Caro-
lima. Because, when diligent efforts
were being made in the recent ses-
sions of our legislature to increase
the State Appropriation for military
purposes those who are yelling for a
third regiment now were strongest
in their opposition to the proposed
increased and necessary approprla-
tions then. l was present and OBJ
served this, with keen pain to my
self. never felt so painfully humil-
lated for this loved State in my life
as while observing the shameful lack
of appreciation Of and for our State
military forces, and l expressed my
humiliation freely to those about me.
For 1 fully realize that the best OF
our laws are just so strong and no
stronger than the organized, trained,
armed forces back of them.
The present howl only reveals the
unfortunate political condition our
State is in. 1t shows to us that We
are still cursed with an undue amount
of self-seeking politicians when We
might be blest with larger per cent.
of seif-sa crificing statesmen. who
seek not their own good but the good
of our entire State.

keep Cheerful and Mind
Your Own Business" Is the
Message of John Burroughs

John Burroughs, famous American
naturalist and writer, and leading dis
ciple OF the simple life, is eighty years
old. He has lived with nature since
bOyhOOd, and knows the birds, the
squirrels and the butterflies, the woods,
the fields and the mountain streams.
He was the friend of Lincoln, Of EN-
erson, Of Holmes, of Whittier and of
Walt Whitman. His recollectiOns of
these great friends are sufficient COM
paniOns for John Burroughs in his
woodland cabin. 81 am very happy in
my work, and I hope to write a book
each year for many more years" he
says. He Is at his best, despite his
age, and leads an active life in the
open. His message to the world Is
Keep cheerful and mind your own
business"
Mr.. Burroughs taught school in his
youth, became bank examiner, and
had promising career before him In
! financial affairs, when he discarded
ambition for wealth to lead the simple
life. His first book was his ''Notes or
Walt Whitman" published in 1867
During the past half-century he has
written constantly, and has contrib
uted much to the nature library. He
married Ursula North in 1851 and ir
| the winter time he now makes his
home with his daughter and grand
children at West Park, \. Y.

Ten Per Cent of the Men
To Be Sent to the Front
Will Be Soldiers of Mercy

Readers perhaps are not aware that
of the first million soldiers we send
to France 100000, or One-tenth, will be
soldiers of mercy, attached to the hos
pital and sanitary wing of the army.
CONSUMPTION does not close the doors
of war service to boys Of eighteen,
nineteen and twenty years of age.
Boys of that higher courage which Is
able to 90 under fire without the moral
support Of q gun can find opportunity
to endure danger for the sake Of the
country in this service, best ap-
preached through the Red Cross,
writes Robert F. Wilson, in st. Nicho-
las.
Eligible volunteers within and out
side of the CONSUMPTION age are accept
ed by the army for the sanitary service.
In many cities and towns the Red
! Cross is conducting special training for
such volunteers-in the ambulance
training companies and in the sanitary
! training detachments. Volunteers from
/ the latter detachmentS face the
most dangerous service, for they are
the litter men, who pick up the wound,
ed on the field of battle and bear them
to the first-aid stations and evacuation
hospitals, where they are taken by the
ambulance for transportation to base
hospitals.

MINOR LEAGUE PILOT HAS
NO EASY JOB, SAYS D0NLlN
Must Be Able to Play Every Role From
That Of President to Third AS
slstant Groundkeeper.

A managerial berth in the minor
leagues is no sineCure. Take Mike
Donlin's word for it.
Mike contends that in order to be q
tirSt-claSs minor league pilot one must
have the patience of Job, the hypnotic
powers of Herb Flint, and the mental
and physical ability to play every role
from president of the club to third as
sistant groundkeeper.
As Donlin has tried his hand at man
aging a minor league club he ought To
know something about 1t. He was ap-
pointed manager of the Memphis club
of the Southern association last winter,
and he announced at the time that he
had high hopes of making good. But
last winter Mike didn't know anything
about the managerial game in the
bushes.
He served as manager of Memphis
until about May Is, when he was hand
ed his release. He says that his trou-
bleS began when the club lost some
thing like fifteen games by one run
Then the umpires commenced to make
