Radio Is Hobby

Radio is more than recreation; il
Is malady TO which millions are
susceptible throughout the world.
"Radioitis" has more than ,000. 900
victims in this country.
Young and old are in the game.
In the early days OF radio. no gov
ernmental restrictions were placed
upon work OF any kind No limit
was put on the wave.iengthS OF
transmitters and the power OF out
fits. Many amateurs took keen de.
light in filling the ether with all
kinds OF jargon by the dot and dash
code. The ether was one grand bed
lam as practically every receiving
set had spark set also.
This soon became . nuisance. The
government in 1912 made an effort to
squelch amateurs who filled the air
with interferences, and a law was
passed which is still in force. II
laid down reasonable conditions re-
garding the rights OF the amateur.
II provided that q power Of more
than one kilowatt should not be used
in amateur sending stations. The
law further required that il should
be necessary to have an operators
license il . station should be cap
able Of transmitting over the bound
ary lines Of the state in which II is
located.
Under the radio communication
laws OF the United States, the
country is divided into nine districts.

Headquarters are as follows:
First district ........... Boston
Second district =. New York
Third district $3.50. Baltimore
Fourth district ........ Norfolk
Fifth district New Orleans
Sixth district ....San Francisco
Seventh district -. :. Seattle
Eighth district -. Detroit
Ninth district ...... Chicago
No restrictions are placed upon
receiving stations as they are un-
able to interfere with one another.
Radio is creative hobby.
1t appeals strongly to that inven-
tive instinct which every normal in
dividual has. 1t offers an unlimited
opportunity to exercise the creative
faculty. Every amateur has his own
way to "hook-up" receiving set
and any hobby that allows this wide
range Of experimentation is ailuring.
The relaxation that radio offers is
refreshing. 1t will add years to the
life of any man. ~-
Wireless amateurs are a clannish
lot. They love to get together and
talk shop. As a result, local radio
clubs are coming into vogue. A club
room is found, and here the meetings
are held at various times. Lectures
are arranged, code practicing sta
tionc are formed and sooner or later
the club has its own station.
As hobby, radio even has pos
sibilities of being a means of play
ing chess or checkers by long dis
tance--a novel pasttime. s,,ty
Whether this sport is 4 fad or not,
it presages to, become one of the
biggest commercial business in the
future.
The sixth installment Of The Bees
story Of radio tomorrow will treat of
wireless a. a sport for the traveller.

FIRE DESTROYS FAIREY HOME.
Owner Overcome by Flames and
Smoke.

Branchville, May 17.-Fire de-
stroyed the home Of NJ. E. Fairey
here Monday morning about ten
O'Clock. How it caught is yet mys-
terry. It is said that there had been
no fire in the house since Sunday
morning. The fire was not discov-
cred until it was far under way as it
caught between the ceiling of the
second floor and the roof and as the
house had a galvanized roof the
blaze smothered and was not found
until the rafters were burned. AS
soon as the alarm was given Mr..
Fairey rushed upstairs and opened
the door to the room where the fire
had started and was soon overcome
by the flames and smoke and had to
be carried out of the house. He is
recovered from his experience it is
stated.
Practically all the furniture on the
first floor was saved but that on the
second floor was a total loss. Mr..
Fairey had about $4,000 insurance.
This makes the fifth house burned
on this block in the last five years.
This was the second in the past two
weeks.

Mr.. Byrnes's Address.

We do not think that the objec-
tions to the Four-Power Pact have
ever been stated more strongly or
more lucidly or more succinctly than
they were stated by Representative
Byrnes in his address at the College
of Charleston commencement Tues
day night. Mr.. Byrnes exhibited a
very complete grasp Of the questions
which he discussed and his address,
which will be published in full in the
Sunday News next Sunday, is an ex-
ceptionally comprehensive and in
forming review of the conditions and
problems with which this country and
the world are faced. 1t can be read
and studied with profit by anyone
who wishes to approach the big issues
OF the time understandingly.
Mr.. Byrnes Tuesday night was in
the house of his friends but there
were many who heard him speak for
the first time. Most of them appre-
ciated already that he Is one Of the
ablest and most alert men to go to
Congress from South Carolina IN
wears. What chiefly impressed his
audience Tuesday night, as the COM
ments yesterday clearly showed, was
his profound and .unmistakable sin
cerity.-News and Courier.

Storm Damages
the Olar Section

Olar, May pa severe wind, rain
and thunder storm struck Olar at 5
o'clock this afternoon and did con-
siderable damake to property, but
there were no personal injuries.
About thirty-fve shade trees were
uprooted and several residences
slightly damaged by trees being
blown across them. DR.. G. B. Rays
automobile was damaged in like
manner.
Part of the roof was blown off
Cleveland Morris's store. Part of a
skylight was blown from the Rizer
Automobile company's garage and
the front glass broken.
G. H. Brabham's car was carried
up the street as if being driven at a
rapid speed and the top was taken
off by the wind.
Doubtless considerable damage
was done to the crops.

WAS ENEMY OF WHITES.
Waiska, Proud Chippewa Chief, Pass
es to Happy Hunting Grounds.

Peter Waiska, 81 years old; the
last of the Waiskas, proudest branch
of the long line of Chippewa Indian
chiefs, is dead.
The aged Indian carried with him
to his grave the strain of pride and
all of his hatred of the whites"
which for years made the Waiska
Indians the outstanding braves of
the many tribes inhabiting the Great
Lakes section. He died of exposure
to the cold, an element which for
years he scoffed at.
The Waiskas inhabited the region
now known as the Bay Hills and the
Waiska river and bay district in
Chippewa county, Michigan, when
the first white missionaries and set
tiers pushed their way into the wild
erness. The tribe, with it's centuries
old pride, looked with disfavor on
the white man, who came and clear
ed their lands and then broke them
with plough.
Peter Waiska until the last main
tanned the same feeling of hatred
that beftted the final survivor of his
race. His friends say that he grew
more and more melancholy year by
year as he watched the forest disap-
pear and the white mans modern in
yentions take their places.

WOMEN OF AFGHANISTAN.
Policy Of the Men to Keep Them In
Ignorance.

Like the Arab, the Afghan consid-,
ers it unnecessary and even unwise
that women should learn to read or
write. No girls are admitted to the
bazaar schools and no mullahs are
employed to teach them, and Afgha-
nistan knows nothing of women
teachers.
The trade of Afghanistan is moved
entirely in caravans and is largely in
the hands of Hindoos and Tadjiks.
There is not a mile of railroad In the
kingdom, the Amir fearing that steel
highways would make isolation i'm
possible.
Apart from rugs, few xylophones,
some crude adornments for women, a
little silk and felt are few simple
woven tissues, no products Of native
skilled labor are on the market. And
even much of what is produced in
these few lines is merely an imlta-
ton of western or eastern art. Small
industries supply only the most ur-
gent needs of the lower classes.
The rich people buy their luxuries
from abroad and the poor make
shabby shift with the cheaper fab
rics.-Asia Magazine.

BOARD NAMES TEXT BOOKS.
For Use in Public Schools Next Five
Years.-Advance in Price.

Columbia, May 20.-Adoption OF
text books for the public schools of
South Carolina was completed by the
state board of education yesterday
after several days of conference on
various texts which had been submit
ted. The board of education has
been in session several days and yes
terday announced that it's work had
been practically completed.
Approximately 81 contracts with
book publishing houses remain to be
signed up, but this work will be COM
pleted within a day or two. Repre-
sentatives of various publishing
houses have been in Columbia in
numbers recently and many texts
have been brought to the attention OF
the board. The books for the next
five years will be somewhat higher in
price, it was understood yesterday,
than they were under the old con-
tracts as the cost of practically every
thing that goes into their making
has advanced in recent years.
J. E. Swearingen, state superln-
tendent of education, when asked
yesterday for a list of the books
adopted by the board, said that list
had not been prepared for publica-
ton. He said, however, that the list
would be available in a few days.
The law of the state, as is general
ly known, provides for a readoptlon
of text books for the public schools
every five years. The books adopted
by the board at it's meeting will be
used over the state in the schools dur
ing the next five years. Provision is
made with the book companies
whereby old books may be exchanged
in part payment for new books, this
arrangement saving much money to
the people of the state.

BranchuilLe Man
Shot on Highway

E. A. Cole, an employee Of the
Cameron Lumber company, sustain
ed painful injuries Saturday night in
the lower part of this county as he
was returning from Branchyille
Just as he crossed the river on the
acknowledgements highway, he was
shot, it is alleged, from ambush. The
matter was reported to the Bamberg
county authorities, but up to Tues
day afternoon no arrests had been
made, although it was stated that
there was strong suspicion as to the
perpetrator of the deed. The fol-
lowing dispatch concerning the mat
ter is c.. ped from Tuesdays State:
Branchville, May 21.-Saturday
night about 1890 o'clock E. Alex
Cole, sawyer for the Cameron Lumber
company, was painfully but not seri-
ously shot in the left shoulder while
going home.
He had been to Branchville with
his wife and children and just as he
crossed the river bridge on the road
from Branchville to Smoaks some one
shot him.
From tracks it appears that the
party was standing only about ten
feet from the road and about the
same distance from the river. For
tunately most Of the load of bird
shot and slugs went into the rear Of
the auto seat.
Blood hounds arrived from New
berry about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing but were unable to do anything.
It is generally thought that the shot
was meant for some one else and not
for Mr. Cole.

MULLINS CITIZEN SUICIDES.
r. Mills Shoots Self After Wounding
Merchant.

Mullins, May 17.-R. Miles is dead
and Ben Snyder is possibly fatally in
iured from shots alleged to have been
fired by Mr.. Miles in Mr.. Snyder's s
store about 1920 o'clock this morn
ing.
At the coroner's inquest this after
noon the verdict was that "R. Miles
came to his death by gun shot wounds
inflicted by his own hand
The bullet which ended the LIE OF
Mr.. Miles was fired into the temple.
DR.. ]. 'Hagood Smith, who examined
Mr.. snyder's wounds, is of the opln-
ion that the bullet entered Mr.. Sny-
der's back, ranged the full length OF
the left lung and barely missed the
heart. His condition is very grave.
The story as told by Mr.. Snyder is
that Mr.. Miles came to the store early
this morning for settlement for an
iron safe which he had sold to Mr..
Snyder. It is alleged that Mr.. Miles
contended for sum in advance OF
the agreed price and that the shoot
ing followed in consequence of MIR.
Snyder's refusal.
Mrs. Snyder was in the store at the
time but knew nothing Of the misun-
derstanding until the shots we're
heard.
Ike Sheer, a brother-in-law OF Mr..
Snyder and clerk in the store nao
left the building a few minutes be-
fore.
Mr.. Snyder is a nephew OF Mr..
Miles and both have been in the clotn-
ing and dry goods business here for a
number of years. Mr.. Miles was the
oldest clothing merchant in Mullins
and by hard work and attention to
business he had amassed small for
tune. About 80 days ago he sold out
his business to Mr.. Snyder.

I hree Murderers
are Resentenced

Columbia, May 23.-S. j. Kirby,
C. o. Fox and Jesse Gappins, convict
ed last August of the murder of Will
liam c.. Brazell, youthful taxicab
driver of Columbia, were sentenced
at Lexington today to be electrocuted
June 16.
The trio last August hired Bra
zell's automobile on the streets of
Columbia to drive them to Augusta
and before they reached Lexington
they struck him on the head, half
stunning him. They then, while he
was half lying on the running board,
stabbed him to death, Cox confessing
at the trial that he welded the knife
and ground it in the wound" The
body was then thrown into nearby
thicket. The men then proceeded
beyond Augusta with Brazell's car
when they had tire trouble. Kirby,
who was alone at the time, met
chain gang guard and confessed. The
three men were locked in the Angus
ia Jail, which was later surrounded
ed by a mob from this state in an
effort to get the three men. For
three days and nights armed men pa
trolled this vicinity in an endeaVor
to find the men. No trouble was ex-
perienced in getting the men to the
state penitentiary. They were SEN
fenced to electrocution on August FL.
The execution was stayed by appeal
to the supreme court.

Democrats Ask
for Lower axes

cratic state convention today hearth
ly endorsed Woodrow Wilson and
wished for him long life. 1t extend
ed greetings to James NJ. Cox. The
convention in it's platform held that
the system of debating was being
pressed by the Republican party, ana
that the gold bug is worse than the
boil weevil bug. The platform re-
port then advises the adoption OF
these principles; protection is criti-
cized, the agricultural bloc in Con-
gress is endorsed and commended the
members of Congress for working
with the bloc. 1t wants Congress to
provide a system of short-term farm
credit. The platform favors income,
luxury and excise taxes and demands
that such laws be put on the statute
books. The lowest rate. should be
placed upon lands that produce the
living of the people. Indeed if pos
sible, they should be exempt; the
platform goes on and says "the high
est rates should be placed upon lands
held for speculative purposes and all
luxuries. Let the necessities be
free"
The platform holds that the COM
mission form of government has prov
en- a failure. The platform commit
tee recommended, eve condemn the
practice of our general assembly in
electing members of their own body
to the various offices required by law
to be chosen by it. We believe that
all officers except judges should be
elected by direct vote of the people,
and thus kill the evil practice
The platform then suggests:
"Our judicial circuits should be
reduced to a number sufficient for
the business of the state.'
The report then says, while our
state expenditure may be extrava-
CANT they. cannot compare with the
burdens imposed upon the people
through the defective system of
county government. 1t is astound-
ing how Indifferent the average per-
son is as to what becomes Of county
funds and the great loss resulting
from the improper care and pres
ervation of county road machinery,
tools, supplies, etc.
Frauds perpetrated by contractors
and others filch from the county
treasurer thousands of dollars annu-
ally. A state auditor is recommend
ed. Strict enforcement of all laws is
demanded especially the prohibition
statute. In convictions the platform
insists on prison sentences and no
alternative of fine.
The platform condemns legislation
on Sunday. A section is devoted to
education and a full seven months
term is demanded for every white
child in the state. Liberal support is
asked for all educational enterprises.
Congressman Dominick was oppos-
ed to a general approval of the agri-
cultural bloc.
Mr. Mcleod defended the bloc and
held that the bloc was committed to
oppose w. H. R. Harding's reap
pointment on the federal board. Mr..
Dominick feared Democratic support
for protection as result Of combina-
tions.

lands is to be increased sc per cent,
what relief will the farmers receive?
Surely, it cannot be contended that
the actual valuation of the farms
have increased. 1t is too well known
that they have materially decreased.
trust that, after your commission
has carefully considered these facts,
YOU will revoke your order call
ing for an increase, and that you will
leave the valuation as it is at pres
ent, or, if any change is to be made
that you lower it in accordance with
the actual decrease that has taken
place in the value Of the farm lands
throughout the county.
Very truly yours,

Sometimes when Cora talked TO

she's more educated-not that you

"You think lot of that word

She would not let the girls be too

Eyes, Nellie, I do! If we could
forget our pay envelopes-what we

our minds to doing the very best

mean success. But unfortunately
we can't forget, can't work and
have faith that the results will be
even better, our reward greater if
we think only of what we do; not
