can hardly be expected in view of the

printed and bound in elegant shape
and It made a really very handsome
appearance. The testimonial in its
completed form was one of the finest
pieces OF printing and binding ever
seen in Canon City.
Taking the form that II has the tesi
timoniai viii be something that Mr..
McLain can. and certainly will. treas
ure throughout the remaining years
of his life. and II is something nat he
can hand down in the family. II is a
hitting tribute TO a man who never
spared expense or time or effort when
he found IL possible to do some good
for Canon City.
II was the desire OF the officers TO

KEY WEST UNDER
MARTIAL LAW
Section Devastated by Storm Well
Guarded-Many Out of Work.

Key West, Fla, Sept. .11.-Key
West was practically thrown under
martial law at o'clock this after
noon by proclamation from Mayor
Cleare.
Sections devastated by the storm
are now under guard of police and
service men from the army and navy.
All persons are required to be off the
streets by 9 o'clock at night. Cigar
factories here sustained a total loss
of more than million dollars and
cannot resume operations under two
to four weeks, depriving employees OF
the jenefit of a weekly payroll total
ing s65,O00.
Cato Cigar Company loss is $751;
600, roof blown off and factories
flooded. Thousands of barrels of to-
bacco in barrels were ruined and vast
stores of goods spoiled.
Hayana-American Company's loss
is over 100000, including damage
to the building. Other factories sus-
tanned loss in the same proportion.
The ruin is more disastrous than fire.
Mallory steamer Comal is aground
in the harbor. Passengers will be
sent to Jacksonville to take Clyde
Line to New York.
British taker Tonawanda is
aground in the harbor, fishing boats
ahd small craft are stacked three
deep on the water front.
Captain Pitchard, lost on sinking
of the dredge, and G. P. L: Hansen,
chaser, are the only casualties re-
ported.
Offers of aid have come from
mayor and chamber of commerce of
Jacksonville and mayor of Pensacola,
but Key West hopes to handle the sit
uation unaided, but may later have
to call for assistance. Government
has opened commissary here where
necessities are purchased advantage
ously and the deficient local supply
adequately augmented.

staff of the director general" are
receiving annual salaries aggregat-
ing s1,398,O0O, according to an ex-
tension of remarks in today's Con-

WHY SOME SOLDIERS

division in the army of occupation in
Germany: J
3sIn a recent issue Of our division
newspaper, noted a letter from Miss
Alva Alexander, of Venice, Californ-

than passing interest. I wish to set
forth what I believe to be a few Of
the ideals of the men Of this division
concerning the womanhood of this
land.

sweetheart, and no intention of mar
rying any other than a good, pure and
refined American girl.
"This young lady asks if it can be
possible that any American soldier is
contemplating marriage with Ger

and other sources, that it is probable
that there will be a number of such
marriages. Here are some of the
reasons why the American soldiers

That Houn' Dog.

One of them two houn' dogs which
Mr.. John Oxner advertised as hav-
ing left his premises has not done
like the other one, answer the ad and
return home, and Mr.. Oxner is very
anxious to have that dog. It is a
black houn' dog, and has tan legs,
and it should heed the call of Mr.,
Oxner in his ad and return home,
and we are surprised that it has not
long before this.
1t is very important that this par
ticular dog of the tan legs should
come home very soon, for 'simnlon
will soon be ripe and 'possums will
be fat, and Mr.. Oxner is very anxious
to have a real old time 'possum sup
per, and we are also very anxious for
that supper time to come, and the
houn' dog is a very important part,
or in other words is a necessary pre-
requisite to the supper.
So if any. one has seen that houn'
dog that answers the description
please send it right on home to John
Oxner, he that lives down near where
the McCrary school used to be. The
dog was bought by Mr.. Oxner from
a gentleman of Saluda county and is
very much of a thoroughbred, if
houn' dogs can be so described. At
any rate John Oxner wants the dog
so that he may have that 'possum
supper, so please let it come along
home to him without further delay.

A MIGHTY FINE HABIT

Mr.. NJ. &. Caldwell has habit,
and he has had it for several years,
Of having at his residence two miles
east of Newberry gathering of the
members of his family, that is his
brothers and sisters and their child
rem, and a few of his friends, and
then he serves one of those royal and
regal dinners which you have read
about but seldom enjoyed.
The gathering this year was on
last Thursday, and while it is or.
busy day we stole away from the
office long enough to run out a: i
enjoy the dinner and the meeting
of the friends who had gathered.
He had barbecued pork and mutton
and hash and fried chicken and all
the accessories, and the table was
spread under the magnificent water
oaks, and the dinner was served by
the young ladies Of the families gath
ered, and it was fine. Mr.. Burr
Goggans decided that it would be
good place to sojourn for several
DAYS and even longer and all of us
agreed with him. 1t is magnifi-
cent old place, this country home OF
Mr.. Caldwell, though it needs to have
woman in charge and the wonder
is that Mr.. Caldwell has not long ago
secured a helpmate. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jas. A. Mitchell and Mr.. and Mrs.
Mark Long of Saluda were two OF
the families who reside out OF the
county and &ey were present. The
other members of the family all live
in the county and they with the in
vited guests and neighbors made up
a party at this gathering of about
fifty and we all, enjoyed the hos
pitality of Mr.. Caldwell and the fine
dinner.

the surplus will not exceed 2,50O,00O
bales of spinnable cotton. 1T is I'M
possible for anyone to say with ac-
curacy what it is. Judging by in
formation from the different states

surprised if it much exceeds 10000:
900 bales.
During the four years preceding
the war this country exported 9,0O0,-
900 bales per year average. Foreign
countries need more cotton now than
at any time in the past. If two
thirds of the amount is taken this
year, with normal consumption OF
our mills, we will not be able to sup
ply the cotton. The cost of raising
cotton has been very high this year
and I do not think we should be ex.
pected to raise it at a loss. The

it. Let every farmer do his part by

TEACHER SHOULD BE, NEAT
Pupils Pattern After Schoolma an
Closely in Dress.

Helen Peffer in Weekly Kansas City
Star.
In planning what she will wear
during the coming school year, many
girl who is going out to teach a
rural school this fall is not taking
into consideration the pupils who will
have to look at her several hours
each day.
Many of the rural school teachers
are girls who have grown up in the
towns. They plan only to teach in
the country one or two years at most,
and figure that the country will be a
good place to wear out their old
clothes, regardless Of whether those
same clothes are attractive, appropri-
ate for schoolroom wear, or in any
way suitable.
This attitude is entirely wrong. The
school teacher must remember that
many of the girls whom she teaches
get their ideas of what is correct in
the way of clothes from her. If she
dresses elaborately, and arranges her
hair in some far fetched fashion,
which is supposed to be modish, the
younger girls will naturally suppose
that she is correct in doing it.
The teacher should not be frumpy
any more than she should be over
dressed. Clothes that are quiet, in
good taste. and reasonably in style,
should be worn.
The main requisite of the teachers
costumes is that they be neat and
we'll kept-dresses and suits that are
regular cleaned and pressed, heels
built up and shoes shined. Any girl
who arranges her work systematical-
ly will have time to keep her clothes
in good condition and do these things
for herself. An outlay of expense is
not entailed, merely energy and de-
termination on the part of the teach
er herself to make the most pleasing
appearance possible.
No teacher can expect to really
give the children the right ideas of
neatness and personal cleanliness
and hygiene, which are so generally
taught now, unless she observes all
the rules of neatness and cleanliness
herself. A good example will work
wonders in establishing good habits
of appearance, and each teacher
must remember that to be that ex-
ample is a part Of her work.

look with favor on French and Ger
man girls.
"The majority Of these girls pay
no attention to class distinctions,
Consequently, every buck has his
chance with them. French and Ger
man girls are not ashamed to do the
daily tasks of life, no matter how
dull, dirty or uninteresting they may
be.
"In the last few years the young
American has found himself often
Stunned if he is not society sport,
walking moneybag, or a dancing
fool, and is it wonder if he is eager
for the companionship of women who
do not make artificial distinctions?
Hospitality seems lost art with
many American girls, who seldom
spend any time with their friends at
their homes, but pass their time at
theatres, cabarets and other amuse-
ment places.
'The uncomplaining and hard
working women of this country, be
they enemy or friend, have merited
our admiration, for they are not
ashamed of the hard and dirty work,
if such work is essential to the well
| being of humanity.
"In strong contrast to this, we re-
member the tendencies Of the girls
/ at home to lead, more or less, the life

social activities. We understand,
however, that the war has wrought
change in these butterflies, E'hich we
sincerely hope is true. Yet we read
in the home newspapers of a great
wave of shallow fraivolity sweeping
the states.
Coming face to face with the
stern realities of life, as most o., us
have on the battlefields, we have
learned the really worthwhile things
Of life. We have gained high re-
gard for fine, strong, loviag char
acter, and an adherence for any
sort of sham, pretension and super
ficiality. It is a great relief, then,
that we find it so easy to read the
character of the women here. Most
of these women seem to look on life,
as actual and real. No attempt is
made to hide anything behind a
mushy sentimentality. Contrast this
with many of the American girls,
who are out for good time, re-
gardless of cost.
eff our girl friends at home do
not yet understand why some OF the
soldiers are marrying European girls,
they will. learn sooner or later that
considerable change has come over
many Of us who have been dragged,
as it were, through the hell of war.
The soldier who has had this expert
ence is not going home to marry
frowzy, frazzly butterfly whom, per-
haps, he left behind. She was all
