Thursday, August 13, .1914 If the city council could devis ways and means for paving the busi ness portion of Main street the mer chants would be 6aved hundreds o dollars a year, now resulting fror damage by dust. According to Mr. Miley's article i: this issue, the governor on one occa . sion sent the speaker of the house Mendel L. Smith, candidate for gov ernor, a '(lower. Mr. Smith claim to be opposed to the present admin istration. Does any of our reader know of 'the governor being so kim to one of his "enemies." or is Mi Smith a recent convert?

Stay and face the music, brother that is what we did two years ago. The Herald is today giving it space largely to the publication o the Democratic club rolls for Bam berg county. The county executiv committee has not sufficient funds t publish these lists as an advertise ment, but The Herald, feeling tha the people should be in possession o of the certified lists, requested th rolls for publication. The list show all those qualified to vote in the Dem ocratic primaries this summer. W , have printed a limited number of ex tra copies which may be obtained a this office. _ The governor of South Carolina ha exhibited all over the State a cata logue of Benedict college, containinj a picture of the negro students witl some white teachers, taken together The governor has been South Caroli na's chief executive for four year and was in the State senate for sever al years, and did nothing to remed; this condition, which he says is socia equality. After having had years o opportunity while in the State am accomplished nothing, we do not se "how he proposes to remedy it by go ing to the U. S. senate. Still he ex pects the catalogue to%get him votes "The South's Going Dry." Lay the jest about the julep in tb camphor balls at last, For the miracle has happened, an the .olden days are past! That which made Milwaukee famou does not foam in Tennessee, And the lid in old Missouri is as tigh as can be; And the comic paper Colonel an his cronies well may sigh, For the mint is waving gayly, an the South is going dry.

W CATCHES MAN ON HEK HATPIN. = Spear Went Through His Ear and He Has Blood Poisoning. ie Leaving a crowded aisle of a Curtis ? street theatre on Thursday night a ig few hours after coming to town from r- his ranch" near Fort Collins, J. H. Evans was impaled on a hatpin )y through the upper part of his right il ear. Erysipelas and blood poison te have set in and his life is ii^ the balance. Evans is facing that part of it bravely. What hurt his feelings b, most, he said, was the woman's sarle castic remarks. When she felt the interference at r. the end of the long pin the woman 1- jerked her head around to see what it had caught. As Evans' ear slipped I ~ ~ .

"I shouldn't know her again if I saw her, 8 but I would know the pin. It was .? about a yard and a half long. My [. wife had a hat something like hers three years ago last winter." r As Evans went on out of the theae tre nursing his ear the woman stop> ped in the foyer and burnished the pin on the portierres, still talking = at Evans and "boob men" in general as she jabbed it back and forth - through the heavy folds. e Why Japan is Proud. Nor is Japan at all ashamed of bef ing classed among Mongolians, a race a that has as great a history as any nation of the west. Napoleon was Q not a greater soldier than Genghis _ Khan, nor did he exercise rule over 3 creator pmnirp The Mongolian .. race was using the mariner's compass s when western nations were picking _ their way along the coast by the stars. s They had printed books when Europe a was steeped in primeval ignorance . and were wearing silks and drinking tea from porcelain cups when our ancestors were roaming naked or clad in 1 skins, and for household utensils had ~ but the crudest of vessels. Japan _ is in no way ashamed of a Mongolian ancestry. Whether she is of such an* cestry, however, is another question. In any case discrimination on the -j basis of race without consideration i of individual merit is an injustice unworthy of any civilized nation. ? And so Japan asks only for the rights and privileges as America already s concedes to negroes, Turks, Red In^ dians and other races of her population. Are not all the best Americans at this moment rather ashamed that 0 a highly civilized nation like the Japanese should be put to the humiliat tion of having to make formal request f for the common rights already cone ceded other aliens? The dragging in s of Mexico as a "red herring" in the discussion is likewise somewhat un- J e fortunate, as the inference is without basis of fact.?Prof. J. Ingram Bryt an, in Leslie's. I Big Year in Church Building. s " ~ """ Reports received here from vari-! g ous parts of the country indicate that I ^ thte will be a busier season in church j . building than for 10 years past, de-I spite the talk of financial and indusg trial depression. Contracts thus far let call for structures that will cost ' between "j $35,000,000 and $40,000,000. While f all of this money may not be spent I ^ upon the buildings before the end of e this year, contracts uncompleted at the begining of the season will make the totaL expenditure this year ap, proximate $40,000,000. This sum is about $5,000,000 above j the average for the last J4T years. The Roman Catholics are among e the most active this season. They are following the pattern of Vienna, d Paris and Rome in multiplying the numbers of parishes in large cities, s feeling their parishes in many cases are too large. 'In the Southern States ,t much building of small Catholic churches is going on. d The Episcopalians are also active. They are building cathedrals in sevd eral important cities. The Christian Scientistis report fewer building projects this year than formerly. New York will spend from $5,000,Lt 000 to $8,000,000 this summer, chiefly on Manhattan island. Chicago has in hand some $3,000,000 in church ,s projects. The South and Southwest, New England and the Rocky mountain regions report the largest numbers of projects, although in many cases amounts involved are small.? ie New York Sun. d Pat's Bad Plight. An irishman whose face was so plain that his friends used to tell him j it was an offence to the landscape, happened also to be as poor as he was homely. One day a neighbor - met him and asked:"'How are vou, o Pat?" "Mighty bad. Sure 'tis starvation that's starin' me in the face." "Begorra!". exclaimed his neighbor, 1- "it can't be very pleasant for either of yez!"?Exchange. / I LIBELING THK BOA AND GRIZZLY Big Snake and Bear Not as Bad as They are Painted. nisr Boa constrictors and grizzly bears yam| have long been thought of as crea- Denn tures to be dreaded, but Enos A. Olar. Mills, the Colorado naturalist, has a Hhrh good word for the bear, says Youth's ^0%a Companion, and Dr. Frank Baldwin, recently returned from an exploring STAT trip to the Philippines, speaks sympathetically of the snake. Boar Mr. Mills declares that the grizzly rect is the most maligned of animals. He Sw minds his own business, except when he is attacked, and lives on nuts, fruits, barks, grass, carrion, garbage 5^? and insects, and, as a rule, kills noth- I ing larger than a mouse. Mr. Mills I j says he is an excellent mouser, pa- I tient and thorough in his methods. I = Dr. Baldwin says of the boa con- I strictor: I "All my reading life I have re- I garded the boa constrictor with hor- g ror and aversion, w nen i gui inio the jungle, my great desire was to meet a large boa, in order that 1 might do him some very real harm. When I did find one, my sentiments were those of pity for t'-e snake. He was streched across the path, and when the natives saw him they pounced upon him with yells of delight. On the other hand, he seemed dazed. "With a native for every yard of him, holding him firmly, the journey on legs through the jungle and down to the beach. He wriggled feebly and hissed in a hopeless manner. There they cut his head off with no more ceremony than they would have = used if he had been a chicken, folded as much as they could get of him into a kind of clam-shell about nine | feet in diameter, and built a fire. In an hour ne was cookcu, <tuu m ?uother hour this great snake, which = had been painfully accumulating feet and inches for yeard. had disap- I peared. I must say that I felt a little indignant!"

Hostilities lasted only about seven weeks, and when they came Ocom to an end the Greek chiefs were in Orc.ni no hurrv to return to their wives. Picke Richl Homer was a good sort, and as he galu(j drew a large salary, and a handsome gpart allowance for expenses from the Sumt Chronos, he readily accepted the Unioi scheme propounded by the wise Ulys- y ses?to keep the war going in the columns of his paper as long as he ___ J f A n'ri'tft ohdnt if Wic CUUJU iuauagc IU uuvui. letters were too good not to publish, and meantime the Greek chiefs had an enjoyable time at Troy and else- auuri where.
