TYPESETTING SCHOOL GROWS
Institution Conducted BY Southern
Publishers Successful.

Macon, Ca, April 27.-New equip
ment for the S. n. P. A. typesetting
school, being conducted here by the
Georgia-Alabama Business College,
has arrived and new classes are now
being formed. Some of the students
who enrolled early in January are go
ing out to positions. The school is
undertaking to fit the students into
the places for which they are best
suited. Some of the young men are
well educated and are we'll prepared
for business. Some of them are form
err bank clerks, some are college men
some are ex-army officers, and all
of them seem to have been carefully
suited for the positions into which
they have gone The non-printer STU
dents are given to understand that
this is plan used to introduce them
into the printing business. They are
going in to learn the business. Quite
a number of them have gone to work
and have made good. The same Of
flee in which the first one secured a
position wired back to the school two
days later for another just like him.
The students have had their daily
lectures on the why's and wherefores
of the style printers use in the differ
ent printing offices of the United
States. They have had some drill IN
type combinations and measurements,
so thew can make some headway IN
setting other type than straight mat
ter.
And now a complete printing office
outfit is being installed so as to give
the non-printer students a chance to
learn about the problems of the hand
compositor. What they are taught IS
being taught thoroughly, so that their
start will be an encouraging one.
A great many commendatory edlto-
rials have been written by the papers
in this section where these students
have been doing relief work in con-
nection with their studies at the type
setting school.

Good Citizen Passes Away.

Greelyville, April 27.-The host OF
friends of Mr.. Thomas j. Hogan are
sorely saddened at his death, which
occurred here Thursday, April 22nd'
following ill health for several months.
Mr.. Hogan was 66 years OF age and
was one of the oldest and most proml-
nent citizens of this community. he
is survived by his widow and three
sons. Dan ]. and Jamie D. Of Greely-
vile. and T. Presley Hogan OF Co
lumbia, and an adopted daughter Mrs.
S. G. Rogers of Dillon.
Mr.. Hogan came to Greelyvlile from
Fairfield county in 1885 and went into
the saw mill business with his brother
which he remained interested in to
the time of his death, although the
firm underwent few changes, at
present being known as the Mailard
Lumber Company. He was also half
owner with Mr.. T. w. Boyle, Of this
nlace in the Greelyville Land & De-
velopment Company, one of the largest
land owning concerns in this part OF
the State. He was also iterested IN
several other enterprises in the COM
munity and considered one OF its lore
most citizens. ;.
Mr.. Hogan has been known to his
multitude of friends by the intlmate
name of "Uncle Tom," and was pro-
bablv the most beloved man in this
community for the past generatlon.
Scores of his friends have often Deen
heard to make the remark that they
never knew of any person saying an
i'll word of him and no one has ever
known of his having an enemy. his
passing away will not only be great
loss to the community at large, but
his death will mean deep personal
.loss in the hearts and lives of scores
of his friends.
His funeral, conducted on FRIDAY
afternoon, April 23rd, at the Greeiy-
vile Baptist church, was probably
the most largely attended in the MIS-
torv of the town. The floral offerings
were most liberal and beautiful. The
funeral services were conducted Dy
Jnolesby Masonic Lodge, Of which ne
was a member. He was also a mem
her Of the Woodmen of the World
and q communicate of the Baptist
church. His body was laid to rest
at Mount Hope cemetery, Greelyvliie'

OPPOSES PENSION BILL
Senator E. d. Smith Expresses Dis
approval of Measure.

In the discussion of the pension bill
in the Senate a few days ago, Sen
ator E. D. Smith took occasion to ex-y
press his strong opposition to GER
tain provision in it, besides his disap-
probation of the general tenor OF it
as whole.
The section which he particularly
attacked provides that any widow Oh
a federal soldier who had served IN
the Union army during the Civil War
for a period of ninety days in any
capacity would receive a pension Oh
$50 per month no matter how many
times she had been married or dl-
vorced since her husbands death. Th>
only restriction placed against the
wife receiving the pension was the fact
of a present living husband or Oh
yorce for misconduct of the wife.
Senator Smith called attention to the
fact that a widow of the Civil War
class, no matter how many times
maritally removed from her soldier
husband, would receive a pension,
while the soldiers of the world war
received no pension except their IN
surance, for which they had to pay
He noted well that the pensions for
the Civil War were borne by the
whole country and benefited only a
section, whereas the burden and bene-
fits in pensioning in the case OF the
world war would fall all alike.
Senator Smith said the whole pension
ing system was wrong because OF
politics. Nearly sixty years after the
Civil War the pension appropriation
is by far greater, he said, than 1t was
twenty years after and the fewer the
numbers to receive pensions the great
er the amount.

average recruit is 81 around the chest

average recruit is 81 around the chest
and % around the waist?"
"Search me-" replied the Quarter
master officer. "You see the records.
We are shy of "a sizes in undershlrts
and we must have over 250,OOO OF
them, and we must have about an
equal number of drawers. Another
thing we have to figure is supplying
the Officers Reserve Training Corps
personnel with summer underwear,
and those birds run about "a or un-
der around the chest. It's all figured
out on charts and everything"
So there you are, the army has on
hand millions and millions Of summer
undershirts and drawers, but none that
will fit the men of the army. Instead
of stocking up on normal sizes the
army stocked up on abnormal sizes.
The army is buying shoes for SOL
diers at a cost in excess Of 81 PAIR.
The army has in warehouses through
out the country hundreds Of thous-
ands of pairs of army shoes that cost
on an average $2.7O pair.
The Evening World correspondent
asked why such a surplus supply OF
shoes could not be utilized?
Most of them," explained the pa
tient Quartermaster officer, "are hob
nailed shoes. Now those hobnailed
shoes were all right on the roads and
battlefields Of France, but they are
no good for duty on the border, tor
D.! instance. Hobnailed shoes down here
would blister the soles of a soldiers
feet. We have to outfit those meII
with new shoes"
1t also develops that a considerable
percentage of the surplus hobnallee
shoes are of large sizes and united
for the feet of the 34-inch chestee
recruits. Utilization of the surplus
supply of militanp underwear ane
shoes apparently Upon the enrolment
of any army of big men.

ELEGANT ADDRESS
BY GOV. MANNING
AT MEETING HELD HERE LAST
FRIDAY IN INTEREST OF u
MEMORIAL FUND.

Ex-Governor Manning spoke in the
courthouse here last Friday in the IN
terest of the South Carolina Memorial
fund. In spite of the publicity given:
the meeting prior to the date of hold
ing, less than fifty men and two or
three women were in attendance.
Mr.. Manning gave six sons to the
great world war. One Of these never
returned to his native soil and to the
bosom of his home.
Governor Manning made a most
eloquent address. He pictured condir
tions in this country at the outset Of
the war and sketched briefly the va.
rious phases of war work all Of which
was carried to a successful conclusion
in a manner which amazed the world.
Referring to South Carolina the Cow
ernor declared that this State furnish-
ed more than the quota Of men, gave
SSO,000,OOO to the various Liberty
Loans, $16,0OO,O00 to the various war
work organizations, and that her SOL
diers won one-eighth Of the Congress
ional medals awarded for distinguish-
ed service. He expressed the fear
that in this era of reconstruction men
and women were so busy adding to
their fortunes that they were forget
ting the men who fell in France IN the
effort to make this country where the
sun shone and the birds sang and the
land lay in peace and plenty a lad
of the free and the home of the brave
for all time to come. Should any one
stop for a moments reflection, how
ever, he would realize the debt due to
the boys who made all of this possi-
BILE. Governor Manning told Of con-
ditions in the war stricken area as ne
saw them during his visit to Europe
after the armistice was signed, and
declared feelingly that the pen pic
lures portrayed for US could not bring
a realization of the real conditions.
He referred to the plots in all parts
of France and Belgium dotted with
the graves of Americans, South Car
olinians, who fell in the great strug-
gle and whose graves are now covered !
with poppies.
The Governor was introduced by Mr.,
E. C. Epps, chairman of the Memorial
fund.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Manning's
address, Mr.. A. C. Kinds called Tor
subscriptions and a liberal pledge was
made by those present.
The quota of Williamsburg county
to this fund is about $500, entirei !
too small a sum for our citizens to
shrink from donating to this most ex-
cellent cause.

DECLARES CHARGES
BY SIMS AN INSULT
Says Sims is Sometimes Impulsive-
Declares Secretary Daniels
Is Not Target

washington, April E.-Sharp crltl-
cism of Rear Admiral Sims, voiced TO-
day before the Senate naval investi.
eating committee by Rear Admiral ]
S. Mexican, former assistant chief OF
naval operations, resulted in a tilt
between Chairman Hale and Senator
Trammel, Democrat, of Florida, when
Admiral Mexican was reprimanded by
Senator Hale for indulging in "per-
sonalities."
The officer declared that he was only
following a precedent set by Admiral
Sims in his testimony, while Senator
Trammel remarked that the chair
mans objection to personalities had
not run against Admiral Sims "snap-
py comments"
Admiral Mexican, whose appearance
followed completion of the cross-ex-
animation of Capt. w. V. Pratt, who
had been on the stand several days,
insisted that he was not asking to
defend Secretary Daniels or to "damn
Sims" in what he said.
Insult, Says McKean.'
Admiral Sims charge that delays
on the part of the Navy Department
early in the war prolonged hoetilities
four months and cost 100000 addi-
tional lives were "monstrous." Admir-
al Mexican adding that if it had been
made by a patient in the govern
mcnt insane asylum" it could be un-
derstood, but that, coming from a
rear admiral of the active list, the
head of the naval war college, it was
an insult to every officer and man n
the navy or who served in the navy
during the war"
1T has been or will be entirely dis
approved" he declared.
The charge that the department had
no plans for war also was unfounded,
the officer said. He added that one
plan in particular had been in exist
ence four years before the war, and
was corrected up to the time the Uni
ted States joined the Allies, and con-
stantly changed as the situation al
tered during the war The plan was
not perfect, he said, because Of new
elements injected into the war by the
German submarine campaign.
Criticising Operations Chef.
Capt. Pratt, in answer to Senator
Trammel, who sought to show that
Admiral Sims letter to Secretary
Daniels, entitled "Some naval lessons
of the world war;" was in reality a
sweeping criticism of Secretary Dan
iels, and of naval officers generally,
said he had no reason to doubt Ad-
miral Sims declaration was not in
tended as personal criticism. He
could not avoid the impression, how
ever, he added, that Sims was criticiz-
ing the chief of naval operations,
whether he intended to or not.
81 cannot say what was in Sims
mind" Capt. Pratt said. "He is some
times impulsive, and was exceedingly
so when he said the navy was respon-
sible for the great losses of the war"
Secretary Daniels was not Admiral
Sims target, the off, declared, add
ing he knew of no specific instances
where Mr.. Daniels interfered with
Sims.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am 80 years
old and have been married twelve
years. I have three sweet children
whom love dearly.
My husband is a railroad man and
have often wondered If he could love
whiskey and his family, too. I think
he Is good man except that he
surely will have that regardless of
anything else, and says he will as
long as 1t is made.
He Is not an affectionate man by
any means and yet he says he loves
us. He is the kind of man who
thinks If he gives me his money to
run the home that is all need. But
you know that isn't all a wife wants
and needs.
1 have gone to church and other
places where men would be with their
wives, and oh! how my heart would
ache for husbands love. Never
does he go to church, and scarcely
ever anywhere else. He seems TO
think a woman's place is at homo
l can say in every way l do my
duty as best l know how and l will
so long as / live Then when l an
gone from the world, he cannot say
l did not do my duty while on earth
1 wish he could see what grea,
! influence he could have over me if he
would. How long for him at times
l have studied him for years, but II
seems I cannot understand him, and
I often think of that dear old song

BLUE MARTHA.
One OF the noblest men have ever
known made the remark that he be.
lieves each soul must go through life
alone; a person may think he has
found companion, but in great mo-
ments the companionship does not
suffice and the soul finds it must
make its struggle unaided. / believe,
however, that this man spoke from his
own sad experience. He himself was
denied the blessing of a congeniai
soul and he decided that his fate was
universal.
/ am afraid it is your lot in life
to make your struggle without under
standing and sympathy from your
husband. Since life is school for
the soul, doubtless that is your les.
son to learn.
Following is a little verse which
may be a comfort to you:
Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea;
/ rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me l"

HELPING THE SCHOOL TEACHER

HELPING THE SCHOOL TEACHER
Nothing is SO discouraging to a school
teacher as the Indifference and apathy
with which many parents regard
school work. Many Of the strong. en-
thusiastic young teachers strive term
after term to overcome this inertia by
regularly holding parents meetings,
and this method is sometimes very
successful. But have you ever attend
ed these meetings?
II 30 you will have noticed that
usually only q few parents attend at
all regularly; many do not come at all.
Under these circumstances are you
still one Of those who complain about
what Is done and not done In your
SCHOOL,
Get out of the rut and show that
you are really interested in your
school. Visit the teacher in her class
room at intervals. Find out what her
difficulties are, and then. see II you
cannot help her. In most instances
you will be agreeably surprised to
find that the teacher is far better
posted on matters Of health and SAM
; tation relating to school children than
you supposed. But she needs help and
community support in order to put
these modern ideas into practice.
Tho Tooth Brush Drill
! Have you ever heard of the tooth
brush drill? In many of the schools
throughout the country teachers now
instruct their classes just how the
teeth should be brushed. But what
good is such instruction II parents do
not make sure that 1t is regularly car
ried out in the home. Has your
: youngster a tooth brush and a supply
Of tooth powder or tooth paste? Do
you make sure that he cleans his teeth
thoroughly before going to bed and
starting for school?
And what has your youngster learn
ed about dirty hands? Does he try to
sneak to the dinner table without
washing his hands and face spic and
span? Does he understand how readily
dirty hands carry disease germs into
the mouth?
You can tell that the health teach
ing is effective by observing to what
extent it changes the boys habits fol-
the better. However. the health teach
