An Appeal to Teachers

The following letter written by MISS
Nellie Crouch, 4 former school teach
er who is now suffering from the
dread disease, tuberculosis, at Ridge
wood tuberculosis Camp in Columbia,
should make a touching appeal to ev-
cry man, woman and child in South
Carolina. This letter from Miss
Crouch is solemn warning and a
plea for aid from all in the fight
against the "Great White Plague:

Shooting in Aalssttriis !. /
=. Spprt 80 Peasant.

Vienna, Dec. l8.-Once' the sport
only for the aristocracy, shooting is
becoming the pastime of the masses
in Austria. Few countries are SO
plentifully stocked with game Of
every kind, furred and feathered, and
the large estates have been splendid
ly preserved for centuries. The great
European stag, smaller deer, and
chamois are still abundant, while
pheasants of various kinds, partridge
and quail, woodcock, snipe and other
game birds, not to mention the great
fiocks of wild fowl along the Danube
and the marshy lakes furnish ex-
cellent sport.
Today many Pf the once rich land
owners are no longer able to keep up
their shootings, with the necessary
armies of gamekeepers and other
heavy expenses and the properties
are being rented. Of those offered
this autumn, 16 large estates have
been taken over by peasant shooting
clubs -..

To Invade Arctic
Wastes in Seaplans

Detroit, Dec. Sin a giant sea-
plane, a party of Detroit and New
York sportsmen will invade the great
wastes of the arctic next summer on
what is regarded as a most unusual
hunting trip if present plans are car
ried out. Members of the party in
tend to SO completely outfit the plane
that it will match the modern parlor
car for convenience and comfort.
The trip will have as its objective
the land which heretofore has been
known only to the dog train.
Included in the party will be Inglis
NJ. Uppercu and Charles F. Redden
of New York, Howard E. Coffin, Har-
old H. Emmons, William f. Metzger
and DIR. James w. 49,, of Detroit
men prominent in the airplane and
motor worlds.
The plane, which now is being es-
pecially constructed at Keyport, N
a., will take an all water route to the
far northern bay. 1t is planned to
leave New York about July 1, thence
to Montreal and Moose Factory. The
Hudson Bay territory will be entered
from the latter station.
The equipment of the plane will
include compartment sleeping quar-
ters, with an observation room for
ward, an electrically equipped kit
chenette, an armory, a galley ant
large storage rooms. 1t is announced
that arrangements have been made
with the Hudson Bay Company fol
gasoline and other supplies.
In discussing the proposed trip, Mr.
Redden said: at was after operat
ing passenger-carrying craft fol
three years and having flown more
than 100000 passenger miles with
out asmishap that concluded proper
ly regulated flying would enable "
to safely reach Hudson Bay"

Water System at
Cedar Springs

Spartanburg, Dec. 6.-The mod
ern water and fire protection system
at the South Carolina School for the
Deaf and Blind at Cedar Springs was
completed yesterday, the work being
supervised by R. A. Jeffries, for many
years engineer of the Spartanburg
water works plant.
In installing the new system at
Cedar Springs the hydrans, valves,
etc, are so arranged as to be inter
shangeable with the fire fighting ma
chinery and appliances Of the Spar
tanburg fire department; so that in
case of an emergency the Spartan
turg firemen could render effective
service in fighting fire at the state in
stitution.
The new water system consists of
two big tanks, one of 10000 gallon
capacity and one 10000 gallons. The
water supply is secured from the big
spring on the Institutions grounds, a
quarter of a mile away, where a brick
pump house encloses two modern,
adequate pumps. which bring the
water up to the tanks.

Automobiles Build Fortunes
For Lucky Marylandsrs

Baltimore. Dec. .s.-Twelve years
ago the Pennsylvania Railroad gave
away an old bridge over the Susque!
hanna River at Havre de Grace to
private interests; the building of q
new bridge had made it, apparently.
valueless. Automobiles ever since
have been crossing the structure in
increasing numbers, and the men who
got the bridge for nothing in 1910
recently sold it to the state of Mary
land for $5S5,O0O. And in. the IL
years it was in their possession, they
pocketed $4,000 in. dividends, all in
toll charges collected from motor
cars. .
When the new bridge made the old
one of doubtful use, the railroad com.
pany offered it first to the, state and
then to the county, but without sue,
cess. If no one accepted It, the com
pany was confronted with the neces-
sity of removing it, which would
have been very expensive. So finally
the company changed it from a rail-
road bridge to highway bridge, and
considered itself lucky in finding a
group Of Maryland men who CON
sented to accept the structure, which
originally had cost $4,000, 900, as {.
gift.
The recipients put up s7oo to or
ganize company. Last year the net
returns from the bridge were SCI, 900.
The state will continue to collect tolls
until 1888, by which date it estimates
the, proceeds will retire the bonds is
sued against the purchase price of
$5S5 900.

VIXEN all punishment by the courts
will be inflicted for the sake Of reform
and not for the sake of punishment
We do not in the least agree. Men are
executed or put into prison not in
their own interest, but in the interest
of society. No other plan has ever
been devised for compelling respect
for the rights of others; and while
it is highly advisable on every account
that prisons should be so conducted
that those who are sent there should
be turned out chastened rather than
hardened, and better men rather than
worse men, nevertheless the fact re-
mains that the effect on the prisoner
of his incarceration is and must re-
main matter of secondary consid-
Grafton. The important thing is to
provide for society such protection as
can be had in depriving of their lib
erty men who break the laws which
society has made in the general inter-
est.
But while this idea of Judge Feath-
erstone's seems to us a mistaken one

have gone far; the people are willing
to go yet farther.
Union needs school auditorium,
one that will accommodate the entire
community. This building should be
distinct and separate from any school
building now in existence. All the
schools could assemble there upon
stated occasions, and the public could
use this auditorium for all public
gatherings that would require the
assembling of all the people
The schools in the country districts
should be strengthened. The school
year should be heightened. The small
schools should be consolidated. Bet

The weak districts should be helped

Union schools, under the leadership
of Superintendent Davis Jeffries, led
the state in the matter of establishing
night schools. More than 20 years

why the schools are cramped for
