Fires Burning 13O Years.

For more than 13O years fires
have been burning continuously
near Fort Norman, not far south
from the Arctic circle. Man did
not light them, nor does man
tend to their burning. They feed
on immense seams of Ignite that,
like some coal seams. have ignit.
cd spontaneously. Alexander Mac
kenzie. the explorer, first report
ed them in 1889, and at the time
he noticed that the heat from the
subterranean fires had burned to
brick red the shales that out
crop along the banks of the river
that he named after himself. In
fact, the shale beds had been con-
verted into massive red bricks.
1t is likely that the fires had
been burning many years before
Mackenzie saw them. Virtually all
the explorers who have visited
that part of the Mackenzie river
basin have noticed the under.
ground fires, which make them.
selves known by the huge peri.
odic bursts of smoke.

THURSDAY, NOV. II, 1921.

l he friends OF Governor Cooper
who are behind the movement to
have him elected to the supreme
court at the session of the Gen
eral Assembly which meets in
January have an uphill fight on
their hands, not because there Is
doubt i'll the minds of any con-
siderable number of the legisla-
tors of the governor ability to
make learned and fair jurist,
but because of the view many
\ I'll hold that by electing him to
the supreme court the will of tn,
people is choosing him governor
would be set aside, involving the
elevation of the lieutenant gov
rrnor to the governorship in cir
cumStances which were not con-
ir.nplated when this latter official
was elected. For this very rea-
son The Times concludes that the
General Assembly will be slow to
transfer Governor Cooper from
the executive Office to the judici-
airy. although it can be said in all
truth that he is much more to bc
desired as a member of the SUI
preme court than some other men
We know of who have been cho-
sen for that exalted station. Gov
ernor Cooper is learned in the
l.:w. he possesses judicial tenn
permanent and he is honest. We
are not quite certain that so much
can be said of every man who
has been member of the SUI
preme court of South Carolina.
The Newberry Observer has
poor opinion of Armistice day. in
which considerable number of
people will share. In the last is
sue of that excellent paper to
reach this Office we read: "What
Significance is there in the name
'armisticeG' 1t does not mean the
end of war; il only means suS-
pension of war while the combat
ants may debate the question of
peace. When future generations
AL America shall celebrate Arm
ist,re day they will have to be
told why--that is, if the celebra.
ton shall be kept up. The ever
recurring question will be- Why?'
Who ever heard before of a ma
ton celebrating an armistice?'
1t is something altogether new and
strange in this worlds history.
Already people are beginning to
have distaste for the word
'urmistice and disarmament,
and for the word peace itself
seeing to what base political and
partisan uses they have been
brought by the ruling party in
America"
