Patching the Cars Trousers.

In his recently published memoirs
Count White, a member of the old Rus
sian regime, relates that Alexander
III's prudence in government eXpendi-
ture was matched by his personal
thrift: alexander III was extremely
economical with his wearing apparel.
I had a curious proof of this when /
accompanied the emperor on one of
his railway trips. Since l found It
impossible, on account Of my response
bility, TO sleep of nights, would often
catch glimpses of his majesty's valet
mending the emperOr's trousers. On
one occasion I asked him why he
didn't give his master a new pair in
stead of mending the old so often.
We'll, 1 would rather have it that
way he answered, but his majesty
won't let me- He insists on wearing
his garments until they are thread
bare. 1t is the same with his boots"

Huge Stone in RooseveIts Honor.


The greatest chunk of stone ever
quarried or transported in the United
States or anywhere else on earth is
going to be hewn and brought to
Washington for the monumental Theo-
dore Roosevelt national memorial. The
memorial is to take the form of Il
lion, some 36 by 40 feet in dimensions,
and it is to be carved by Carl Ethan
Akeley out of solid block of rock.
Where the stone is TO come from ap-
pears not yet TO be determined. One
authority suggests it may be neces-
sary to build a special railroad and
equipment to bring it to Washington.
The memorial will be the biggest job
in stone, it is said, since the sphinxes
we're set up on the plains of Egypt

DEMPSEY WINS.

More than 10000 men and women
saw Jack Dempsey, of America,
knock out Georges Carpenter, of
France, in the fourth round of the
fight for the heavy weight champion
ship Of the world in New Jersey last
Saturday. The gate receipts for the
fight were said to be one million six
hundred thousand dollars. Of this
amount Rickard, the promoter, re-
ceivcd over S5O0,0OO. Dempsey re-
ceived 100000 and Carpenter re-
ceivcd 100000. Uncle Sam rccclv-
cd about half million in taxes.
Carpenter was called the French
Idol and "Man of Mystery" 1t was
claimed by some that he would
hypnotyZc Dempsey with his eyes.
Dempsey, however, put no falth IN
the mystery stuff, but depended upon
his realistic pile-driving Jabs to DO
his hypnotizing and paralyzlng. They
worked.

WISHING.

DO you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do,
Set a watch upon your actions, keep
them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives, let
your thoughts be clean and high
You can make little Eden of the
sphere you occupy.
DO you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make start
BY accumulating wisdom in the
scrap5ook Of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly; live
to learn and learn to live,
If you want to give men knowledge,
you must get it ere you give.
DO you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just ~ scatter seeds Of kindness asI
you pass along the way;
For the pleasure of the many may
ofttimes be traced to one,
As the hand that plants the acorn |
shelters armies from the sun.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT ON
THE CHAIN GANGS.

According to the State Board Of
Public welfare, one county in our
state forbids corporal punishment of
the prisoners on its chain gang. In
three other counties there were gangs
OF which corporal punishment had
not been administa cred within year,
prior to the time of last inspection.
These three were Abbeville (both |
gangs), Dillon and Greenwood (gang
number two(. In all other counties |
corporal punishment was administer
ed in degrees varying from brutality
to seemingly just punishment.
These conditions exist in spite of
Section 10 of Article Of the Con-
stitution of the state which says,
Corporal punishment shall not be
inflicted" The Attorney General
has given an opinion that this for
bids whipping on the gangs Of the
state as we'll as in other penal nsti-
tutions. 1t is claimed that there is
no other way to successfully manage
convicts, but this claim is not borne
out by the facts. The system is
wrong that places it in the power
of a foreman to innict punishment
long ago forbddcn by our laws and
the rules Of our courts.
Kangaroo Court
Kangaroo Court" is Il term appli
ed to form Of haziny INDUCED in
by the members Of convict gangs
Whenever a new prisoner arrives he
is given the option of taking whip
ping Or paying fine. The usua
price Of exemption for one lash is on,
thirty cents or thirty lashcs'
or forty lashes OF forty cents" be
ing the usual option. The on,
other way Of buying exemption from
the whipping is with the juicy pro
duct of the tobacco leaf. 1t is need
less to say that this form Of punish
mcnt is sometimes severe.
On good gangs this practice is not
allowed but on others it is cucour
aged by the foremen on the grounc
that it strengthens the discipline OF
the prisoners. There is no justiti
able excuse for its existence and il
should be abolished from every chai,
gang in South Carolina.
But few instances are on record
of whipping in the jails of the state

and their agent, ! desire to make the
following statement through the col
umns of your paper.
In the early part of January, my
1920 Essex touring Car, while driven
by one Of nay employees, shdded on
the State Road about seven miles
north of Salem, overturned and later
caught fire, being practically total
loss.
was carrying at the time liahil ty
property damage and collision insur-
ance with the Travellers Insurance Co,
and fire insurance with the Royal IN
.surance Co, through r. A. Jones the
agent Of these companies at North
Bennington, VT,
AS the damage prior to the fire
would be for the Travellers Insurance
Co, to pay and the fire damage for the
Royal Insurance Co to pay, it can be
readily seen that this would be more
complicated to adjust than an ordinary
fire loss.
Both companies promptly assumed
their respective liability, and dur ne
the time necessary to arrive at the
damage for each to pay neither com
pany attempted to bubble over tech

every way and have received set

The CASE loE. Mr.. pEss

There is a good deal of interest in
the case of Eugene V. Debs, the So
cialist candidate for president in three
campaigns, whom President Harding
is being urged to pardon. Debs was
sent to the Atlanta penitentary dur
ing the war, for what was in effect
urging rebellion against the govern
ment of the United States in its eff.
forts to carry on the war against Ger
many.
Below is given a letter from John
Spargo of Bennington to the New
York Tribune, urging the pardon of
Debs and a reply by Richard Marlowe
of Elmira, also printed in the Tri-
bune:
%" Mr.. sparso'a letter Ingog rs
Permit me to express my apprecia-
ton OF, your editor al THE Release of
Debs." I most earnestly hope that
President Harding will see the wisdom
of putting an end to what | cannot but
regard as a cruelty yindictive sem
tence upon a man who, whatever his
feelings, is not a criminal
To begin with, the sentence upon
Mr.. Debs Ike many other sentences
/ imposed for violations of the sedition
and espionage laws was excessive and
out of all proportion to the offense
committed No unprecedented and fair
minded person who is in full .syinpa-
thy with the fundamental ideals of
America can question, II seems to ma,
that for his offense Mr., Debs has all
ready been punished far more than
eh6ugh. Every day that hee~ renains
Fin prison addsto aastaifi upon the fasf
name of American democracy.
| For those who actually engaged in
the Service Of tie enemy, whether by
communicating military secrets or in
formation of mil tary va'ue, or by en-
gaging in crimes of violence designed
to assist the enemy there should be
neither compassion nor pardon, of
course. On the other hand, for that
much more numerous class Of offend
ers whose offenses arose from an in
ability to accept the war as fact and
to bear their share in it, who, how
ever mistakenly, continued to express
their individual opinions in opposition
to the war, there should be the large
and generous tolerance and forgive
ness characteristic OF democracy.
AS one of those who had to part
company with Mr. Debs on account Of
| the war and who supported the ma
tional cause without st mt or reserva-
ticn, have always felt that President
Wilson made a very serious mistake
