Tolbert May Get Republican
Plum.
Greenwood, April 28.-According
to those in close touch with dispens
ers of Republican patronage in this
state, the appointment of R. Red Tol
bert of Abbeville county as United
States marshal for the Western dis- ?
trict of South Carolina is almost a
certainty now that Maj. J. F. Jones
of Blacksburg has been appointed to
be collector of internal revenue.
Mayor Jones is allied with the Tol
bert faction of the Republican party
in this state.
The appointment of collector has
been between Major Jones and Mr.
Tolbert, it is understood, and now
that Major Jones is collector, Mr. Tol
bert is slated for the marshalship.
It is stated on good authority that
the appointment of Mr. Tolbert will
be made in a short time. Charles J.
Lyon, at present marshal, has not re
signed, but it is rumored that is res
ignation has been asked for or that
it has been intimated to him that his
resignation will be acceptable.
Three Hundred Miles on a
Gallon of Oil.
The day is close at hand when ev
ery man and woman will be equipped
with his and her own automobile
when the workman on the way to the
shop, thc saleswoman on the way to
the department store; maybe the
child on the way to school, will
"ride."
The story in the paper Friday
the Associated Press telegram from
Syracuse-about the Elmer invention
in part points that way. H. H. Elmer
has hit upon an erigine which will
send an-automobile three hundred | |
miles on a gallon of fuel costing five
and a half cents.
We are told that internationally
known engineering experts, includ- ,
ing Arthur West, chief engineer of \
the Bethlehem Steel Corporatoin, i
have inspected Mr. Elmer's engine, t
and are said to have pronounced it 1
hundreds of years ahead of times. 1
The full sized models were tested be
fore the directors Thursday. One of
the models, a one cylinder, three} ?
horse power engine, run continuous
ly for eighteen hours on one and one-{ I
quarter pints of fuel, the directors
stated. The fuel used is oil, either 11
mineral, animal or vegetable. No ig- \
nition or carburetor is used. One of
Mr. Elmers' models has attained a
speed of from 2,500 to 3,000 revolu
tions a minute, he claims. The prin
ciple of the discovery is based on the
chemistry of oil, according to Mr.
F^Brmer^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
S With oil costing less than six cents
on three hundred miles, and with
Ford promising one-hundred dollar
cars, the transportation problem, as
applied to the individual, is promis
ing enough.-Augusta Chronicle.
"What Are You Doing With
the Negro You Own?"
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Jose
phus Daniels was one of the speak
ers at the recent unveiling of the
monument to Booker T. Washington
at Tuskegee, Alabama. He says that
the thing that perhaps impressed him
most about his visit was the practi
cal, horse-sense talk a colored woman
made to the Negroes at a meeting
held in connection with the unveiling.
This is what she told them:
"In the old days'the owners of
slaves found slavery profitable to
them. That is why they owned slaves
and why they opposed emancipation.
How did they make a slave profitable
to them? They did three things:
1. They made the slaves get up and
get out early in the morning.
2. They made them work after they
got out in the morning.
3. They made them come in at
night and go to bed and get their
night's sleep.
Now, every Negro who hears me
owns a Negro-you own yourself.
You can make that, ownership of a
JNegro as profitable to yourself as the
.slave owner made the slave profitable
. -to him. How can you do it?
1. Make the Negro you own g?t up
;and out in the morning.
2. Make the Negro you own work.
3. Make the Negro you own come
in at night.
As Mr. ?Daniels .said, "This is just
about as good advice for white folks
:As for Negroes." Every white boy
and every white man ought to say to
.himself: "I own a white man and it
is up to me to train him and treat
him so he will be ten times more
profitable to me-by inspiring him
to use both brain and muscle for me,
than the mere muscle-service of a
. slave was ever worth to a master."

TO GET AND HOLD HUSBAND
Woman Advices Her Sisters en
Matter That lt of Importance
to the World.
Here, summarized, are Mrs. Roberta
Menges' views of matrimony:
"Wifely extravagance is merely self
defense. Why? Because with all the
amateur 'vamps* that ure running
I about these days the woman who
helps lier husband save money is mere
ly laying up a bankroll for another
woman to spend.
"For every woman who loses her
husband because she is at fault there
are a thousand who lose their hus
bands because the men themselves are
at fault.
"It takes a year to discover what
a man really is; and the woman who
can get on with a man for a year
can find him compatible forever.
"There is a man, the right man, too,
for every woman. If she puts herself
out a little she can get two.
"Girls, go out and be seen if you
want husbands.
"Wives, always smile, if you die
doing it.
"Never complain; don't make him
jealous or he will get tired and quit.
"If your husband ls flirting a little,
pretend not to know about it. Why
look for trouble?
"Men always come home-if they
love you in the beginning they will 1<
love you in the end."-Chicago Amer

Apologized to Journalists.
"fl9 3s 6d federal Income tax re
funded to three journalists on H. M.
S. Renown." This item in the annual
report of the commonwealth auditor
general closes the story of an amusing
display of red tape on the occasion of
the visit of the prince of Wales? to
Australia. With the heir to the 1m
periu: throne were three eminent news
paper men who furnished the United
Kingdom with graphic news of the
?velcome and of Australia's great pos
sibilities. From the prime miuister
lown to the train guard, every one
recognized the sweet uses of this ad
rertlsement-every one but a zealous
ncome tax official. Before the en
ihusiastic visitors could step back on
he battle cruiser Renown they were
resented with a little tax bill, esti
nated on what they were believed to
?ave earned by their contributions
vhiie in Australia to their newspapers
? Britain. They paid, but dropped a
atirical comment lu the ear of an
Uistra?an friend. That comment
cent straight to the heart of the prime
alnister, whose fiery comments on the
ax department appeared in an expur
;ated form lp a smiling and sympa
hetic press, and the visiting journal
5ts received handsome apologies and
hecks for the amounts paid. All of
rhich is not stated in the dry record
f the auditor general.-Christian Scl

New Tunnel Through the Alps.
The Alps' new tunnel, a great un
lertaking of drilling from Switzer
and into Italy, begun 20 years ago,
k-as completed last month, when the
ost stone of the roof of the second
unnel was placed in position by repre
entatives of Switzerland and Italy.
Liter the ceremony the party wenc
o Is-elle and placed a wreath on the
nemorial stone to 60 workmen killed
luring the work of the second tunnel.
This new Simpl?n tunnel was pierced
jlmultaneously with the first tunnel
:o facilitate the aeration of the work
ngs. But Us transformation from a
nere gallery lni# an international
nigh road was started only in De
cember 1912. Colossal difficulties were
sncountered in making the first tun
nel. Great hot springs had to be har
nessed and canalized. At a spot about
2% miles from the Italian opening
the rock pressure was so great thal
18 months was spent in advancing
the boring 50 y?f?s at a cost of $800,
[)00. Each tunnel is 12% miles long,
of which 5J,3 miles is on Swiss ter
ritory. The first tunnel, Including the
gnllery for the second, cost approxi
mately $17,500,000. The estimated
cost of the 3econd was $6,750,000.
To Keep River From Freezing.
It is possible to prevent a river from
freezing over by supplying a small
amount of heat, the American Asso
ciation for the Advancement of
Science at Toronto was told the other
day by John Murphy, engineer of the
Canadian department of railways and
canals. The Rock river In Illinois, a
navigable stream, has been kept from
freezing for five winters over thirteen
miles of Its length by spilling tepid
water into lt at the rate of two bar
rels a second, he said.
Mr. Murphy explained that ice
would not form when water was one
thousandth of a degree above 32
Fahrenheit, the freezing point of wa
ter. _
Women Taught to Shoot
A number of good shots have been
developed among the women employees
of the Post Office department since
they have been practicing with pistols
at various ranges In the large cities,
says the New York Evening Post. The
practice Is to familiarize the registry
clerks with arms, so that in an emer
gency they can protect themselves and
the valuable property in their care.
Not satisfied with the government
schedule of target work, some of them
are spending their own time on other
shooting ranges, with a view to enter
ing amateur competitions.

Young Girl Orators.
Having sat at their feet, so to say,
ad having listened to their elo
aence, we do not really see how we
tay evad? the clear duty to make
ar acknowledgement of a debt new
r acquired. One of those rare debts
e gladly owe-would go into bank
iiptcy in order to continue owing.
Dr. Johnson, along with thousands
f other masculine writers, did his
est to say something mean about
romen speakers. Paul had taken his
ap at them long since-and myriads
f men since Paul fought his wild
easts at Ephesos and his sex-com
lex half around the globe. *
"Sir," said the doctor, "woman
reaching is like a dog walking on
ms hind legs. It is not done well, but
rou are surprised to find it done at
til."
Not we. Nor George Eliot, with her
?eautiful woman-preacher. Nor those | i
vho listened to Hypatia, or heard the j <
Priestess of Delphi, or Zenobia or J i
3oadicea cheering on their heroes, or

We are sure-have long been sure
-that women can talk as effectively
in public as in private. And that, if
not approbation from Sir Hubert, de
serves to be.
If we had not been so sure of our
ground in this respect, we should be
after hearing yesterday two young
high school girls of this State handle
the abstruse problem of taxation in
South Carolina-and give to the sub
ject a carrying power and a charm
we had never suspected it possessed
in any hands, or in any golden
mouths. We left the forum almost
persuaded to return all the property
we do not possess at the very fullest
valuation.
The scene was the Chapel of. the
University of South Carolina, the
subject of debate "South Carolina's
Tax Problem," the contestants two
young girls and two boys frorn^ the
High School of ^ock Hill. Rock Hill,
having defeated every rival, was left
to fight out the final tourney between
champions of her own.
We do not wish to overpass the
fine efforts of the boys, but can not
omit recognition of the very astound
ing achievement of the two young
girls-Catherine Massey and Kath
erine Hammond.
This is, indeed, the golden-"if
I unadmitted"-age of woman.
It even seems to be the age of the
young girl. Art and literature will
doubtless so record it.-The State.
