HUNTING MOUNTAIN LIONS.

Although mountain lions are, I'M
fortunately for the deer, found oc-
casiOnally i'm most of our western ma
tional parks, they are rarely seen.
There is no more timid, even coward
ly, brute in America. Your lion,
which is really the panther of our
eastern wildernesses, has his home
in the most retired rocky fastness
of his neighborhood and skulks
abroad chiefly at night. His pur-
pose is to play safe. He rarely takes
a chance with animals capable of
fighting back, and never with man.
He leaps upon the unsuspecting deer
from behind or from a high rock
or low tree. His special fondness
for kids and fawns is suspected to
originate in their helplessness rath-
er than the tenderness and delicacy
of their flesh.
Because he is large brute with
a good appetite and likes his meat

C-BOATS FOILED BY
NEW MARINE MOTORS

London, Aug. 3.-American ideas
in Standardization are beating the
U-boats by means of standardized
marine engines, which replace those
damaged by U-boat attacks.
All along the shores of England
where the innumerable shipping sta
tions of the admiralty are fighting
the U-boat, Standardization in work
has been slowly but surely felt.
Production in large quantities OF
marine engines of not more than
half a dozen types has already work
ed wonders. Shaftings, auxiliary
machinery, pumps, valves, fittings
and piping are also manufactured
in quantities, fullest advantage be-
ing taken of duplication and of avail
able resources in supply and Ia
Dor.
Firms falling behind in their
schedule for ship construction are
thus able to call on the reserve sup
ply to satisfy their needs and COM
plete their work on time.
The earlier engines manufactur-
ed were able to work under a pres
sure of $500 horsepower, and in
cases of emergency could make g.
900 horsepower. The models being
made are of far greater power and
are available to all types of vessels
from that of the small coaster size
to ocean-going ones.
Under present conditions should
a U-boat damage a ships engines it
does not mean the end of that boats
capacity for future work If she still
can be towed into port a new set of
engines is put in at once. This is
one of the fruits of Standardization.

WHY SUGAR is SHORT.

There is a greater shortage of both
the sugar-cane and sugar-beet crops
than was expected in the early part of
the season. At no time since the be-
ginning of the war has there been a
normal output of sugar because of the
devastation of foreign sugar-beet
fields. There has been a serious loss
of sugar at sea due to the submarine
warfare. The Government requires
a generous supply 10 meet the needs
OF the men in the service.

BOATS ADDS
TONS OF SHIPPING
d. z. Ward.
Tax Commissioner.

An English Port, July Is (by
mail) Like a life-saving station
rescuing survivors from sinking ships.
small craft built like the American
Great Lakes tugboats are on the alert
every moment in several English
ports to rescue sinking ships.
These boats. operating under the
direction of the salvage section OF
the British admiralty, have since the
war began towed in and refloated
for use hundreds of thousands OF
tons of shipping and have rescued
tens of millions of dollars in car
goes. They have converted this
port into a huge ship hospital, where
are gathered the pick of Great Bri-
tain's ship surgeons" and nurses.
The correspondent recently was
taken through the waters of this port,
which is located not far from a spot
where the Kaiser in pre-war rays
used to spend an annual holiday yacht
racing. Instead of racing yachts, this
port now houses destroyers and
sick" ships.
A lane of more than a score of
torpedoed and mined steamers is
viewable in the outer waters. If
the Kaiser visited this port today he
would be greeted by salvo of shots
from dozens of six-inchers which dot
the skyline on green grass hills near
the entrance to this plac.
Where it was considered big task
to handle six or seven salvage jobs
at one time before the war the
British navy has built up a salvage
system which can handle from fifty to
sixty jobs simultaneously.
Not only are sinking ships res
cued, but ships that have gone to the
bottom have been lifted and made
seaworthy. The British admiralty
announced that 400 torpedoed ships
have been successfully raised.

NEGRESS ia YEARS OLD

quite fresh, the lion is exceedingly
destructive. He returns to HIS kill
only while the meat remains sweet.
Then he kills again. Often, when
deer are plentiful, he kills wanton-
ly for the love of killing.
Late last winter two lions were
shot near Hospital Rock in the Sc
quota National Park. "They had
killed several deer" writes Super
intendent Walter Fry, in reporting
the shooting, land about all that
was necessary was to watch the car
casses and shoot when opportuni-
ty offered. The female lion was
killed the second day and the male
the fourth day. There were several
hundred deer in the herd when the
lions attacked them, but the follow
ing day they left the country and
did not appear again in the vicinity
of Hospital Rock for about two
weeks. The lions killed in one
night many more deer than they
were able to eat"
But lions are not usually so cas-
lily shot. They are best got in the
winter when they may be trailed
by dogs to their lairs in the far
places. Mountain lions. lynx, wolves,
coyotes, and foxes only are killed
in our national parks, and these
only because of their predatory hab-

WHY SHOULD I BUY w. S. S.?

The Herald and News is printing
in this issue the essay which won the
Aull essay medal at Whitmire on this
subject. 1t is written by young
lady who finished the tenth grade IN
this school, and we think the first
sentence of the essay is about the
best and most complete answer to the
question that we have seen, and it Is
simple and covers the whole matter.

No one is permitted to buy over ST.
900 and in some counties they have
organized what they call limit clubs,
that is members who will buy to the
limit. At present South Carolina IS
at the bottom in the purchase of these
stamps and the drive that is now on
is to bring her over the top and New
berry county is expected to do her
part and in this she will not fail.

There is not much to be said about
It. The Herald and News predicted
it on Friday. We are very sorry, as
we have said several times, that Mr..
Lever permitted himself to follow
those who pretended to be his friends
instead of taking into his counsel his
real friends.
We can not see how those who in
sisted that it was absolutely neces-
sary for some one to go on the stump
to defend the administration can re
concile themselves with their present
attitude and how they can now vote
for Mr.. Tillman if he was too old
and feeble before 1t is rather an
awkward position in which they have
placed themselves. Certainly Mr.
Tillman is no younger and no strong
er than he was some two or three
weeks AGO when Mr.. Lever was in
duced to enter the senatorial race,
and we can not see just how Presi-
dent Wilson now figures it out that
the support of the administration is
now assured if he could not do so
when Mr.. Lever was induced to enter
the race for that purpose. Certainly
there have been no changes in the
candidates or their attitude. There
never was any question of the loyalty
Of any of the candidates or of the
people of South Carolina to the gov
ernment, and all that talk was politi-
cal, and there never was any need
for anyone to go On the stump % de-
fend the government or the admins
tration or to inform the people oD
the war. AS rule the people are as
well informed as any Of the candi-
dates as to the war.
Now, it looks to us that the letter

Federation Drive
Adds 1900 to Roll
Jewish Societies Campaign
Has Brought So Far 10000
New Members

The workers in the drive of the Fed
GRAFTON for the Support Of Jewish Phi
lanthropic Societies for $4,000 new men,
bers reported 1900 additional members
yesterday, making the total for the
campaign SO far little more than
10000 The team Of workers headed by
William Fox was responsible for 1000
OF the 1900 new names reported.
Felix W. Warburg, president Of the
federation, declared yesterday at the
meeting of the workers, at the Hotel
Blltmore, that despite the numerical
success of the campaign thus far, it
had been learned through examination
of budget estimates that the needs of
the institutions connected with the fed
Grafton could not be met from the
money thus far in sight.
Mr.. Warburg said that the require
ments of the institutions from the fed
Grafton al one totalled more than $3 ,OOO.-
600, and that the deficit apparently in
sight was approximately $3O0,O00 The
increased budgets, Mr.. Warburg ex-
planned, were due entirely to war con-
ditions, to the greatly increased cost
of food fuel, labor and other requl-
sites and to the fact that the war had
brought largely increased demands up
on the public from many institutions.
The annual meeting of the federation
will be held Sunday afternoon at the
Astor Theatre.
