BACK TO THEIR VOMIT.

The Fool-Killer does not enjoy
using nasty words, but some
times there is just no way Of
getting around it. The world is
so full Of nasty evils that need
to be exposed, and it can't be
done without using words that
may sorter shock some of you.
There is a class of political
jumping jacks in this country
who are just like the Biblical.
dog-sooner or later they always
return to their vomit. And they
are about the most sickening and
disgusting critters in the whole
political pasture:
There is Hi Johnson.
And there is Borah.
And there is LaFollette.
You remember how they rip
ped and raved and tore their
hair all up and down the land
for several months. They were
the leaders of the Anti-League
crusade on the Republican side,
and they were progressive" and
''radical'' till you couldn't rest.
! They couldn't find words ugly
enough to express their contempt
for the old reactionary gang, and
any man who favored league
of nations had lust as we'll pre-
pare to die.
Great reformers were John
son, Borah and LaFollete!
| Great champions of liberty!
! Oh, how their hearts did bleed
for the poor and oppressed!
! And, oh, how their two-edged
tongues did peel the hide from
the Old Gang!
i Debs himself was never more
bitter against the plutes.
/ But that was before the Chi
cago shindig.
). That was before the Old Gang
quietly applied the toe Of it's $40
shoe to that part of Johnson's
person which the law and my
). good manners will not allow me
to mention.
j That was before a little bunch
Of millionaire senators got to-
gether and nominated a suit of
: clothes for president, and adopt
} ed the most brazenly reactionary
platform ever Matched on these
kshores.
Then what?o
Why, simply this:
Our great 'reformers" sud-
denly lost their zeal. Johnson,
Borah, LaFolette and the rest
we're no longer progressive" or
? radical" The need for all that
was past. They must be "reg-
ular." They must get down
on their knees before the suit Of
clothes which their party had
t nominated and swear it was just
what they wanted. The must
t support it with all their strength
t and advise al ether fools to do
= the same.
} And so that is what they did.

his mountain neighbors in plain,
manly fashion
Success at Last


Success at Last.
He succeeded. His grapes paid
we'll. He built a cottage home then
other houses to rent to summer resi-
dents and then he married daughter
of a retired English gentleman, of
the British foreign service, who had
settled in the famous French Broad
valley of North Carolina. He contia-
ued to prosper, adding to his interests
and investments, every cent of it built
up on the labor of his own hands. At
80 he was practically independent, and
likely at 40 to be wealthier than
his grandfathers had been six genera-
tions of slaves behind him.
Then came the tragedy. A man who
had been employed to prune the vines
in part of the place got drunk and
when Mr.. Allston asked him why he
had neglected his work at critical
time, the man took a pistol from his
pocket and shot him through the
heart without a word of warning.
Robert Allison's character was pro-
nuouced to be more like that of some
ideal here in a story book than an
ordinary mortal. Courteous to all,
the humble and poor especially; defer
entail to his elders, sound in practical
judgement, a Christian without bigot-
ry, gentleman without a trace Of
snobbery, rure in morals, high in
ideals, utterly without apparent con-
scious of his high lineage, he was one
of the finest types of Americanism
Of the new South that ever grew up
from the old.
Mr.. Allston left one son and two
daughters. The boy lately distin-
guished himself in the war. He used
to say that some day ne would build
house in the mountains big enough
to hold his share Of the family treas
ures at Chicora and White House, but
now many of them are gone in the
smoke of the old mansion on the Pee
Dee. However, the three splendid
children are exemplifying the strength
and beauty of the old stock. Am
bassador Phelps once met young Rob
ert Allston and remarked that the
war was not in vain which emanci-
pated such young man-Atlanta

"THE LADY OF THE LAMP"
What Florence Nightingale Did in
the Crimean War.

III the mind of almost everybody
for whom the name of Florence
Nightingale has more than vague
significance, it is that of a woman
who went to Constantinople at the
time of the Crimean war and there
cared for sick and wounded soldiers
with heroic of angelic devotion, OBJ
serves the Ney York Times. The
happy phrase of London newspaper
man placed her permanently in the
pubiic's imagination as "the lady of
tn" lamp" The conception is accu-
rate enough so far as it goes, for on
many and many a night Miss Night
ingale did pass along the wards of
the great Sctari Hospital, sometimes
with alittle camp lamp and some
times with lantern in her hand.
But these late visits to the wards
were usually those of inspection and
supervision; and she herself wrote
that actual nursing was among the
least important of the many func-
tions forced upon her. Even that
statement was not quite accurate for

posed upon her, no small part of her
amazing energy was used up in meet
ine and overcoming the antagonism
of the medical and military officials
with whose habits and systems she
ruthlessly interfered-officials whom
she coerced by her strength of char
acter and by the influence her family's
wealth and social position enabled
her to command.
AS result of her vehemence and
her tireless persistence, the hospital
at Scutari, which she found a place
of filth, torture and death was turned
into one where men received far
more care, and care of more
intelligent quality, than before that
time had been bestowed on wounded
soldiers in any war or country.
Another reason for changing this
common conception of Florence
Nightingale IS the fact that, just as
she was, much more than nurse at
Scutari, so it was in the years after
the Crimean war-years in which she
did no nursing at all-that she per-
formed her best and most important
work. For it was then that she under
took and accomplished complete re-
formation of the medical service
maintained by the British army. In
doing this she showed traits little in
harmony with those she would have
possessed if she had been only "tEe

HISTORIC WHITE HOUSE
DESTROYED BY FLAMES
Storied South Carolina Mansion Burn
ed Recently Was Connected With
Many Famous Names and
Events in States Glorious
Days-Located near Beau
fort.

The White House was destroyed by
fire on December %, last-not the one
in Washington but a famous one in
Georgetown county, South Carolina.
The place was the property of Mrs.
Elizabeth w. Pringle, daughte r of
r. F. w. Allston, the last of the ante
bellum governors of South Carolina.
He was the most distinguished men,
ber of family whose wealth and
culture was once proverbial in the
Carolinas. Mrs. Pringle had long con
tributed articles for the New York
Sun under the non de plume of "Pa-
tience Pennington" which were later
put into book form under the title of
"The Woman Rice Planter"
White House was one of the most
famous colonial mansions in the state
1t was at one time the residence of
Joel R. Poinsett, an eminent public
man Of South Carolina, in the diplo-
matte service, who discovered , the
beautiful tropic flowers, "poinsetta,' u
and who adorned the estate with tro-
phies of his travels. In the hands
of the Allston family it was the CEN
ter Of social life and a landmark along
the Pee Dee river.
Largest Slave Owner.
Mrs. Pringle's father is said to have
been the largest slave. owner in the
country at on time. 1t is noteworthy
that he married a sister of the emf
nent lawyer Of Charleston, James l..
Petigru who was the strongest
union man in the state, and an oppo-
nent of secession, while her cousin,
James Petigru of North Carolina,
was opposed to slavery and tried 10
limit it when he moved to South Car
olina and was elected to the legis-
lature of that state. He subsequently
became brigadier in the Confederate
army and was killed at Gettysburg
having been in Pickett's charge. Mrs.
Allston survived the governor many
years, living most of the time with
Mrs. Pringle at the old Aiiston home,
'Chicora" an even more famous estate
on the Waccamak river in Georgetown
county. President Cleveland visited
Mrs. Allston at her home and said
some complimentary things on the
occasion, SO greatly was he impressed
with the noble character of the splen-
did old lady, who was one Of the great
women of the country all her life.
The Allston family is known in the
history Of the country also in connec-
ton with the tragic story of Theodo-
sia Burr, wife Of Aaron Burr, VINO
was lost at sea while en- route to join
her husband in New York. But she
was the daughter of another Gov
