STREET CAR STRIKE
ON IN WASHINGTON
Washington, March 5.?Street car
servicre in Washington stopped at
dark ^o-night after about 50 per cent
of normal runs ' had been made
thTougJhout the first day of a strike of
union trar men for higher wages and
shorter hours. Both of the Capital's
comnanies announced that, in view of
attempts at violence, it was deemed
unvri.se to operate cars after nightfjffl
and that service would be resumed
at "6 o'clock to-morrow morning.
To-morrow, when members of Congress,
officials and the thousands of
Government clerks start for their
desks will come the real test of the
company's improvised car crews of
clerks, shopmen and raw recruits.
Nearly everybody in Washington
moves toward the centre of the city
within an hour or two of 9 o'clock,
and thousands live several miles
away.
"The District commissioners conferred
with representatives of the
strikers and officials of the companies
to-day in an effort to adjust the differences,
but nothing definite was accomplished.
The strike began at 2.30 o'clock
this morning, the order going forth
after a union meeting that lasted
until after midnight. It is estimated
that nearly 1,000 or about 1,500
car men responded to the call. The
men want a minimum wage of thirty
cents an hour and a nine-hour work
day.

PLANT SPRING LETTUCE.
Clemson College, March 6.?For
the second crop of spring lettuce,
seed may be sown in the open
ground from the middle of February
to the first of April, probably the
best time being early in March. Sow
them in rows 18 inches apart, either
in the hill or* drill. When sown in
the drill, thin the plants to from 6
to 12 inches apart, leaving one plant
in a place. The seed should be
planted to a depth of only about
one-fourth of an inch. In fertilizing,
broadcast about 7 pounds of fertilizer
to every 100 feet of row.
The Horticultural Division of
Clemson College recommends Big
Boston and Boston Market as desirable
varieties for planting in open
jjround in early spring. One packet
of seed will produce enough lettuce
for a family of six people,
r SELLING MULES.
1 . .. I
TJncle Jim Stark sold ten mules
Monday. Dote Smith tells us that
Uncle Jim makes five dollars every
time he trades, which means that he
made forty-five dollars Monday. That
is too much money for a man to
make in one day.?Abbeville Press
and Banner.
On that calculation we would figure
the profit at $50. But that is
not enough. The horse drovers that
wero in Due West last week and that
had an auction at Donalds, solemnly
promised the people that if they
would buy from them they would
save from $25 to $35 on each
trade over buying from the livery
stables. Somebody is wrong. But
we wish to say that "Uncle Jim
Stark" is alright as we have bought
from him and always got our money's
worth. We once bought a good five
, year old mule from "Uncle Jim" for
955. That mule was alright too.?
A. B. Presbyterian.
The $5 in the $55 was the regular
profit. The man who buys a
mule from a drover who is here to
%JL<Xj ttllU JUIIUCI luiiiuiiuw
ally if the mule goes lame) pays for
cis bargain. A man buys from the
drover when he pays cash; when he
wants "time" he imposes on his
home man.
Tank Beverly, who eats out a good
deal, says the greatest disgrace in the
country is the bad cooking.
He?I don't see how women ever
play a good game of bridge.
She?Why shouldn't they?
He?You can't play a good .game
and talk.?Siren.

DUTIES OF FATHERHOOD.
We hear perpetually of the duties
of motherhood, but we hear so little
of the duites of fatherhood that I believe
the fathers themselves begin to
think if there are any duties attached
to fatherhood mother should look
after them, too!
I know a family of four healthy
youngsters, three of them boys, who
iive in perpetual dread of their father.
The mother may be somewhat to
hlame for the children's attitude, for
she has reared them on the threat;
"I'll tell your father on you." It is
not the mother's fault altogether,
however. If a father has the real instincts
of fatherhood and plays a
father's part to his children no mother.
be she ever so foolish or misguided,
can make him play the part
of a bugbear to his family.
The father who is feared is one in
whom the children never have confidence.
I know another father of this kind
The chief object in life of his two
sons?as far as he is concerned?is
to get away from him. His company
is a penance to them. They endure it
from a sense of duty occasionally,
but they are far happier when not in
his society. Deplorable, it surely is!
And he is not a bad father?in many
ways he is a good one?but he simply
never gained the boys' confidence
in childhood nor their love. And when
this isn't done in early youth it
rarely is accompiisnea later.
In this case the father is the chief
sufferer, not the sons. They can do
without him. They have plenty of interests
of their own. He is getting
on in years, too, and would give all
he has to possess their affection and
confidence.?Chicago Tribune.

THE AGE QUESTION. t
An amusing incident happened
some moths ago in one of the Paris
courts. A vain, haughty woman was
called as a witness, when the magistrate
inquired her age.
"Twenty-five last August," promptly
she replied. -f
The next witness was a yooung
man, who said he was 27 years of age
"Are you related to the last witness?"
inquired the magistrate.
"Yes! I am her son," he replied.
"Ah!" mused the . magistrate. 8
"Your mother must have married s
very young."
SKIRTS. ]
Now that the fashion of two years ^
have quite reassured all doubters t
that women really have ankles, we t
hope the style-makers will decide t
that skirts do not necessarily have to t
be any shorter. Only by grace of 1
six inches or so of skirt material do ^
knee watches remain invisible even f
now, and we shudder to think of t
what would happen if Paris should \
announce that as knee watches do
not strike the hours and half-hours \
they must be worn where they can i
be seen. As knees cannot be conveniently
lowered skirts would natu- ]
rally have to be shortened. The next
e+on nmiiU ho?wf>11_ we are a mod
est newspaper, we are, so we are going
to leave this subject right where
it is. We hope fashion-makers will
be considerate enough to do the
same with skirt-hems.?Albany, Ga.,

DRINK AND THE ARMY.
Ltlanta Constitution.
It is said that vodka, in one form
r another, is still smuggled through
he Russian lines, and there Save*
een numerous instances of its Illicit
lanufacture and sale since ^nation/ids
prohibitive law passed; but the V
Lussian authorities are doing what
hey can to suppress the illicit traffic.
And the British government is
noking after the interests of its solliers
in this matter, with strict rules
nd regulations.
A story is toia in tne Minneapolis
ournal of a man who wanted to en- ^
ist in the British army, but "who
ouldn't get in because he was all
hot to pieces with alcohol." He
ras made to realize that it was "the
Irink or the job ;" he wanted to do
lis share of fighting for his country,
ind the story follows:
"He went into the wilds of Scotand
and put himself into such shape
hat he was passed and sent somewhere
into France.
"They shipped him home later
nth a badly shattered knee. He was
hin, but his eyes were still bright,
ind his muscles were as hard as those J
>f a horse. At the club some one
ouched a button and the waiter ap?
(eared.
" 'What will you have to drink,
ir?' 'Nothing,' Graydon replied. r
Out there on the firing line, where . J5
he shells are breaking overhead, ma- #
ihine guns are tearing up the earth,
iquid fire is squirting out of a hose,
>oisonous gases are settling over a
rench and bombs are dropping from
he sky?every man still has a
:hance?but when that other stuff
>nce gets a good hold on him, he
lasn't an v.* "
That is pretty good temperance t
,alk, from the firing lines, and from
he press it has passed to the pulpit,
vhere it preaches its own sermon.
One of the war correspondents
tays that stories of angels with
iwords of fire, cheering on the men,
ind ghosts that strolled between the
;renches at nightfall, were the resnlt
f too liberal wine-indulgence. The
Russian soldiers, with imaginations
hus fortified, revived their mystic
raditions, and ancient heroes on
vhite horses appeared to them, at
he head of ghostly, victorious batalions;
but notwithstanding the fact
hat according to the correspondent,
he inspiring vision caused them to
'fight like devils next day," even in ,
var's butcher-business men should >
ight like men! They are there to kill
>r be kiljed. and they must keep their
dts about them!
The remark of an Irish soldier
