EUROPE TAKES THE HINT

Recognition of the ideal of disarmament is made in reports to the council of the league of nations by number of nations. It is sig nificant, however, that the greatest reduction of armament did not originate with the league, but with the international conference held in Washington, says the Omaha Bee
 Great Britain reports to the council a 55 per cent cut in naval tonnage, Japan 59 per cent Italy 49 per cent, and France 36 per cent There is no reason to believe that this would have been possible had not the United States acting independently of the League of program of economy and armament limitation nations, called on the powers to agree to a
 American pressure, exerted in different way, must be accorded some part of the credit for such military retrenchment as is shown by

WET" AND "DRY" ISSUE

The Fall political campaign throughout the country is being considerably chlrked up bv copious infusions of the ''wet' and 'dry' issue Each convention as 1t meets proceeds virtuously to record itself in a resolution ad- vocatng either "strict enforcement' or "mod- ificaton' of the Volstead Law. There is an element of the ludicrous in the entire pro- ceeding. That an organization, political or otherwise should take unto itself any partlc- ular unction through ''resoluting' in favor of enforcement of the law Is something rather new in frankness. It is a confession of a sit nation which obviously demands some sort of correction. To that extent the proposal for modification of the amendment has something in principle to commend it; 1t at least assumes q law which would have some semblance of being obeyed
 The truth of the matter IS, however, that either is an innocuous stand. The Volstead Act is in the form of an amendment to the Unit ed States Constitution. Whether we like 1t or not. it is there. Being there, like any other law it is incumbent upon the public that 1t be obeved like any other law, its enforcement rests upon the honesty and integrity of pub lie officials To "resolute' in favor of honesty in public officials is, to say the least, banal proceeding. .
 On the other hand, modification of the law would appear to be a virtual lmposs1bl- itv The only way in which the Eighteenth Amendment can be modified to include per mission for tho saln of light wines and beer, is to prove that light wines and beer are not intoxicating The Supreme Court of the United States has already defined intoxicating liquors as those which contain one half of one percent of alcohol Light wines and beer undenaby fall under that category.
 The only way in which the Eighteenth Am endment can be nullified is by two thirds vote of Congress, which in turn must be ratl- fled bv three fourths of the States of the Union. That such consummatlon IS within the bounds of possibility is now extremely doubtful.
 Then what is all the oratory about the "wet'' and "dry'' issue worth? It IS worth exactly the number of votes it will garner for q candidate in the fall elections-nothlng more The twet' and "dry'' issue is for po- litical purposes only. It is the sticky fly-paper of the political autumn. And it is perfectly safe propaganda, since it incurs no special action on the part of candidates one way or the other, and provides plenty of excuses for them when they fail to produce results.

 As time wears on evidence accumulates to prove the wisdom of America's independent attitude toward foreign nations. Today, Amer ica stands as advisor, inspiration and example to the world. There has been no encourage ment from these shores for waste of armam- ment, the imitation of currency or imperialist- ic campaigns. These countries now are com ing to see that if they desire American aid they must first foreswear folly and make a sincere effort to help themselves.

OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY.
Trinity Church, New York, is 225
Years Old.

New York.-Historic Trinity
church on lower Broadway tomor-
row celebrates with two special SER
vices the 225th anniversary of the
granting of it's charter by King Will
liam III of England.
Bishop William Thomas Manning
and Rev. DR.. Charles L. Slattery Of
Grace church will oficiate at tho
morning service and Bishop Daniel
Sylvester Tutle of St. Louis, pre-
siding bishop of the church, at the
afternoon service.
On May 6, 1897, group of New
Workers describing themselves as
the managers of the affairs of the
Church of England" asked Govern
or Fletcher for an act of incorpor-
alton in conformity with the minis
try act of 1893. The charter was
granted the same day.
The original charter covers three
large sheets of parchment. 1t is
written in antique style, with a
great seal of red wax. The docu-
ment still is we'll preserved.
The preamble sets forth that
there vas then no public church or
building within the city and that
Trinity was to be a parish church.
The rector was declared to be "a
good and sufficient Protestant min
ister" and the church wardens and
vestrymen of the city of New York
were required to pay to him 1.-The
sums which, according to the pro-
visions of the said act, they were
required to Aise for the support
of the ministry of the city, and in
case of~their failing to do so, the
rector for the time being was au-
thorized to bring an action against
them in any court of record within
the province"
Before the charter had been
granted construction Of a church
had been begun. The corporation
at this time had no productive es-
tate aud to help defray expenses
the governor grated patent for
wrecks and drift whales. This
patent authorized the wardens to
seize all wrecks, drift whales and
whatsoever else drives from the
high sea and is then lost below
high water mark and not having
a lawful owner within bounds and
limits of his majesty's province of

Whales proving somewhat scarce,
funds had to be raised by contribu-
ton, subscriptions and loans. A

Waltesboro Defeats Ehrhardt.


In a slugging game Of base ball
played on the local diamond Monday
afternoon Walterboro defeated Ehr-
hardt by the score of 10 to 6.
It is rumored that six .Ehrhardt
players were non-school men, and
the fact that Walterboro won is an
additional proof that we have an
excellent team.
Witsell opened the contest with a
slashing double to center and went
to third on Dandrige's infeld out,
tallying on Ackerman's hit to right
field. Ehfhardt was blanked until
the fourth inning when wild pitch
ed ball, three hits and two errors
netted them five runs.
Morningstar pitching for Ehr-
hardt, was knocked out of the box
in the third inning and Brabham
going in to stop the slugging high
school aggregation. WATERFORD
scored seven runs in this inning.
The features of the game were
the playing of Guilford behind the
bat, the pitching of Philen and the
batting of the entire WATERFORD
squad. This is Walterboro's third
consecutive victory. Hampton plays

Sure He'd Catch 1t.

In the days before prohibition, the
temperance orator always pictured a
drunken married man as going
straight home from the saloon and
beating his wife. However, there
have been instances of a drunken
married man going home and being
beaten by his wife. Thomas E. Wool
wine, the district attorney Of Los
Angeles county, tells of an instance
where a married man was so often
and so severely punished by his wife
for arriving home peacefully drunk,
that the neighbors protested.
'sWhen he comes home loaded like
that, who don't you treat him right?'
they said.
"I do treat him right" she replied.

GROWN JEWELS GO.
Austrian Valuables Are Sold at Pri-
vate Auction.

Austrian crown jewels supposed to
be worth s1,25O,000, including a
necklace measuring eight feet and
containing 1876 pearls, we're secretly
sold at auction in Weisbaden in the
occupied area few weeks ago, with
the result that eX-Empress Zita,
widow of Charles l, and his mother
heirs, have left only half of the Haps-
burg jewels. Large diamonds, hun
dreds of years old, we're sold partly
to an English race horse owner and
partly to an Indian prince on visit
to Europe.
The heirs of ~ex-Eemperor Charles
have already brought suit to recovel
the jewels, which were first pawned
by Charles through Alphonze Sond-
heimer, a former Greek consul in
Germany. About the time of Char
less second coup they were redeemed
and taken to Germany, where they
were sold, while Charles was being
taken to Madeira. Sondheimer was
iarrested in Switzerland as the result
of this deal, but was released and
granted remuneration for having
been imprisoned without cause.
Ex-Empress Zita is doing her best
to get back the Hapsburg crowL,
which was sold to some unknown
person at Weisbaden. Sondheimer is
now in Be:!in cea. chins for he miss
ing jewels. The Swiss government is
quite upset over the affair and has
given Sondheimer permission to
bring suit against a well-known firm
of Paris jewellers, who are supposed
to have acted as auctioneers at Weis-
baden. 1t is reported that the Haps-
burg crown has been sold to an
American millionaire.

FACES DEATH CALMLY.
Marion Man Afflicted With Leprosy
Problem on Richmond's Hands.

The. following from the Dispatch
of Richmond, Va, will be Of interest
to people of this section:
Despite the fact that he is afflicted
with one of the most malignant mail
aides known, William NJ. Skipper, of
Marion county, South Carolina,
whom the city bureau of health has
declared infected with leprosy, takes
his fate philosophically and was
found in good spirits when visited
by Director of Public Welfare Levy
yesterday. The bureau of health
has begun the administration OF
doses of an esther Of the active
principle of Chaulmugra oil, which is
regarded as the most effective meth
cd treating the disease, and Skip
per declared himself greatly pleased
with this. He has been given several
doses of the medicine already. 1t is
the same treatment that is given to
patients in the national leper hospi-
tai in Louisiana by the government,
with highly beneficial results and in
several instances permanent cures.
Skipper expressed wish to be
with his wife and child in Marion
county, South Carolina, but since
this cannot be arranged he appears
to bow uncomplaingly to the mex
orable. In the meantime the govern
ment has begun an extensive investi-
cation into the case and is making
its own diagnosis Of the malady be-
fore admitting him to the leper hos
pital in Louisiana. Authorities here
are anxious that the patient he trans
ferred at an early date to another
state as he is not properly a charge
on the community.
He was brought here for diagnosis
of his disease, and not as patient,
suffering from q malady that was un-
known to South Carolina authori-
ties. It was not until he was brought
here that it was ascertained definite
" what was the cause. of his ailment.
The case, however, furnishes a knot
ty problem for the local authorities
and one which they would much
rather they did not have to solve. lit
is not thought that he can rightfulltr
be shipped back to South Carolina
and some time must elapse before he
can be turned over to the national
government.
