THURSDAY, BEPTEMBER 30, 1913. CHINA FOR TBE CRINESE Jnp?hcie*p*n* 4o^e*plo|t China are going to amount to little ll China per sists In refusing to be exploited. It looks as if the passive resistance of tho great Chinese population may nul . llfy the benefits from the political and commercial concessions demand ed and obtained by Japan. Three movements, all Indicative ot a now spirit ot nationality are mak ing great headway in China They uro a boycott ot Japanese goods, a ' . deliberate fostering of home indus tries and a voluntary "patriotic fund" which is to be used against Japan, for either military or commercial pur poses. The fund, which ia purely unof ficial and owes Ita Inspiration to mid dle-class merchants, ls growing rap idly, and ls expected to total $50,000. 000. Great enthusiasm is reported from many cities whero meetings have been held to solicit contribu tions. Even women and children are wild to bo taking part in the patriotic ?peed;-making, und Home of the audl f. onet J shower the stage with coins, rJ?gs, bracelets and other ornaments o? Kold and stiver. Tho home industries campaign con templates especially the development ot cotton and steel industries suf . flolent for China'?? needs. The boycott ttocus to extend to all articles of Jap anese origin. F?ven'In Bankok, Slam, the Chinese refuse to use Japanese imtolies-which are the only ones ob tainable-and have reverted to tho ancient flint and steel. Tho boycott ls In force In this coun try, too. The. American ?Th'nese not only refuse to buy Japanese goods or . handle such goods In their s'ores, but th 'many American cities they oro dls rgihg all Japanese employ, or re fusing themselves to wor* tor Jap vi ?.?se. Apparently China Isn't absolutely '. 'blnafled" by any means. "China for . the Chinese" ls a slogan that may yet ', compel the world's respect. - I KARN! SPANISH If American business men are neg lecting their Latin-American oppor tunities, the boys and girls of the country are net. Prom every section come reports of keen interest tn the language, history, geography and eco n?mica of Spanish countries. The interest ts especially high along the Atlantic and Pacific sea boards, where sn|apwg connection with Central and South America makes Latin-American relation? seem more actual and practical. In language study in thc high schools and colleges there ls a great falling off in tho, German classes and a sur- ' prising demand for Spanish instruc tion. The Spanish classes in the New York high schools are overflowing, und tlie same ia true ia all the Pacl'lc seaports, lu Seattle there are seven high school teachers giving all their time to teaching Spanish. In the Uni versity of Washington, ^00 students have registered for ' the (Spanish courses and 200 more had to be turn ed away. It seems n pity to neglect tito Oer man language, because of its incom parably greater and richer literature; but the zeal for Spanish on the part of the country's intelligent young men and women ls an admirable ten dency deserving every encourage ment. It ls un omen not morely of more extensive and profitable busi ness relations with our Spanish neigh bors, but a new fusion of pan-Ameri can culture and ideals and extension of a new, larger Americanism throughout the wholo western hemis phere. TUB DARDANELLES Too many wara have been fought already over the Dardanelles. They have now become-along with Con stantinople and the Bosporus-thc chief bone of contention of this war. The sooner their statUB ls settled, the better for the world. If their owner ship in determined by a decisive cam paign, lt may lead quickly to the end of this war au'l prevent future wars. The Ideal solution of Ute Dardanel les problem would doubtless be to neutralize permanently tho whole passage from tho Black Sea to the Aegean. But perfect neutralization seems impossible. It has been tried under the Turkish rule, with the sup ervision of the powers, and this war proved tho attempt futile. It ls un thinkable that that great waterway should remain In the hands of the Turks. Some big power, with a sense of responsibility to the world, ought to have lt. Geographically, of course, the Bos porous and Dardanelles belong to Rus sia. Without such a natural outlet to the Mediterranean, Russia ls about In the position the United States would be it we had no Atlantic sea board at all, except the Gulf ot Mexi co, and the commercial outlet of the j Mississippi valley and the eastern Btatos were-controlled by Mexico and liable to be closed at any moment. With the Dardanelles shut, Russian commerce would be permanently stifled, because Germany controls, and perhaps always will control, Russia's outlets In the Baltic Sea. and her Arc tic ports are ice-bounu' most of the year. Germany, howover, wants the Dar danelles in her hands, partly to keep Russia bottled up, and partly to make the ancient "Bridge of Hellos" a new Teutonic bridge for a German empire reaching far Into Asia. And there will bo a .druggie of unprecedented fierce ness In that stormy channel and on tho ancient battleground of races that borders lt, before Its ownership 1B set tled for good. A LINE o" DOPE Pi mi j m '. II mmaetaJa Weather Forecast:-Pain Thurs day and probably Friday. o ? . Mr. W. Dean Simpson, formerly ot the Hotel Barber shop, has rented from Mr. Boo Xing the room in the basement boneath tho lobby of the Hotel Chlquola and will within the noxt few daya open up a barber shop which it is stated wilt be th? moat up-to-date and best equipped of any in thia city. Mr. Simpson has had much experience In thia line and will no doubt, make a success from the start. . , Mr. King stated yesterday that he had placed ordora for fixtures for the now place that would eclipse thst of any tonsorial parlor tn Anderson. As. lt la. the basement is ideally located for a barber shop. It ls finished In white and has a tile floor. The en trance may he gained by going in tho doora leading to the lobby of tho hotel, hut ta' reached before coming to the second doors, and, therefore, one may go down into the room with out going Into the lobby of the hotel. Mr. Xing states that large mirrors will be placed nearly all round the Bides of the room and thst in addition to Other equipment In the place he trill have a reading table, with maga sinas and papers, and a writing desk for the convenience of customers who I are walting on work. He expects to have the place ready tor Mr. Simp sou within the next few days. Much local interest is being mani fested in the Clemson-Davldson foot ball game which ls to be played on the Clemson field Saturday. Thia dato marks the opening of the new Higg's athletic field and the Clemson author ities want to make this a big event. Both of the above named football teams have been about oqually match ed for the past few years, hast year they played to a tie and in 1913 Clem son beat Davidson 6 to 8. There are several of tho Davidson alumni in Anderson and also numbers of old Clemson mon. Many from this elf y will attend the game on Saturday if :the weather ls favornble. Messrs. A. ft. Kptlng and T. J. Mar I tin stated ysetedray that th?y were paving $34 per ton for cotton seed, i the highest price paid in Anderson ' this season. It is noted with pleasure that the owners or managers of several storos of tho city have recently adopted the plan of burning lights in their show windows until 10 o'clock at night. There aro still quite a few of the more important ones, however, who still let their goods remain in tho dark as well as some of the people who would like to see what ls being are coming and it is supposed that all will soon have the show windows displayed. The Christmas holidays /Ightod up at night. -o "We arc busy getting up the data for our fall telephone directory," stat ed Manager Beaty of the Southern Bell Telephone company yesterday. "This is always thc largest and the hardest one of the year to get ready since there are always a great many changes at this time of the season." Mr. J. M. McCowan has some beans or peas that grew In Mr. J. F. Wat son's corn field that are creating much comment and are puzzling a great many people to know just what they are, and If beanB, what kind aro they. Some, who have seen them, geem to think that they are velvet beans but the majority Bay that they ravo no idea what they are. . The beans grow In clusters of about 16 to 20, and tho pods are about one and one-half to three inches in length. Mr. Watson planted them in hie corn and will cut tho vines for feed. Manager Trowbridge stated yes terday that ho had a two reel Charlie Chaplin for the Anderson today. The namo of the picture ls "The Woman," and Mr, Trowbridge Bays that this ls a new one yhlch has never been shown in this city. -o Judging from the attendance at Thc Palmetto this week, the Bhows put on by the Crawford and Humphrey's Bon Ton company is pleasing the vaude ville goers of the city very much. This company has ten people and are put !ng on hlgh-c'ass bills. They are featuring tho Bei Ton trio, the sing ing ot which deserves comment, a good looking chorua with a handsome wardrobe, and a blackface comedian which delivers the goods. -o Mr. Craig Mitchell, one of the direc tors of the Riverside Milt, and who is connected with the James Mitchell company of Philadelphia.

Langston, a salesman who has been in Ander son for thc past several years, said that it reminded him of what Mr. Madden several years ago while work ing for another firm in this city. "Mr. langston was preparing to take a trip to Arkansas to see his brother and to Texas to see his nephew," said the gentleman. "Some one suggested that the clerks of the city contribute money with willoh to purchase a suitable gift^for Mr. Lang ston before he left and John Mad den too'.: the paper around to the different stores. Quite a neat sum was realized and the money was used to purchase a suitcase and some other use'ul articles for ihe man who always was one of the best friends the elerks of Anderson ever had."

AmuMing Story of Hotel Experience In Nebraska. Strickland Gillian tells this one In Judge: At O'Neil, Neb., there was once a hotel t vat all traveling sales men avoided except when the/ '.ouldn't. There was no heating sys tem, the only warpath In the bouse being supplied by a small stove in the offt.e. One howling nlghi, when t*'.ie wind was making about 30 knots an hour ?nd tho mercury was 20 below i;2ro, a traveling man shivered beneath the Insufficient bed-clothes In lils drafty room untiil about 3 a. m. Unable to stand it any longer, though he dreaded to leave tu? bed. he leaped out, seized his clothes and ran to the oilice. There he shuddered Into, his garments, and then began building up the fire. The flrepoklng roused, tr.e landlord, who came out and' said: "What're you gettin' up this time o' night fer? You left a call fer 6:30?" "What did I get np far?" shouted the traveling man. "I couldn't stay in bed any longer in that room of mine! I was freezing!" The landlord dofended his hostelry and tho traveling man assailed it, in r. regular quarrel, ? During tue disagreement an old ductor of the town, who had been out in the inclement - night and was al most frozen, saw the light in tho hotel and came in. The old man's long whiskers were covered with frost and festooned with enormous Icicles. As t'.-.e traveling man. turned from his quarrel and saw the old man's condtion and the pendant ice, he ex claimed: "My God, man! Which room did you have?" LOST WEEK'S WAGES Earnings of Two Soys 'Disappeared 3a Pocketbook. If John D. Rockefeller were to drop a pocketbook containing JO.on lt would not be an occurrence of suffi cient moment to effect his appetite for supper, but a pocketbook contain ing that precise amount- was dost on West Trade street last night, and it waa nothing abort of a tragedy. The loser was a woman whose husband left her a year ago with, a family of five children to support. The two oldest are boys'12 and'16 years old. The money that was lost .was the wages of these two boys, earned by a week of work at a local department store. It was to buy the children clothes for the winter. Now it's gono. Lost somewhere between Thompson's shoe store and Church/ or between Church street and Ivey's store, thia pocketbook dropped into obllvon. '! the finder sees this articlo he or she will of course return it to police head quarters, and restore happiness to a household where repining dwells. WAR'S END NEAR SA?8 GARY Great Prosperity In the ITnLed States Will Follow He Declares. (Chicago Dispatch " Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation's directorate believes that'She Euro pean war will end at an' early c*.ate and that an era of great prosperity for the United States will follow. "I think the war will end- quickly and unexpectedly," said Mr. Gary to day. "I am making nd .predictions aa to exactly when lt will end/ but I feel confident t'?nt it will not bc tho long-drawn out affair that some commentators would have os b -e Heve.

Petrea Saint of Motorists. (New York World.)

ALLIED OFFENSIVE BROUGHT 816 GAINS THROUGHOUT WEST (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) 29.-British and Frene!? troops Intended for service in Serbia have been lauded at Port Kathrin near Saloniki, Greece, according to re ports from Buds-Post to Frankfur ter, Zeitung, the Overseas Agency, announces. 800,000 Germans Advance. London, Sept. 29.-The Athens correspondent of the Exchange Tele graph says 300,000 German troops begun an advance on the Serbian frontier in the direction of Orsovo. Looks for RCKUHH. Athens, Sept. 29.-"I believe that we are on the eve of the most im portant operation of the war. namely, tile landing of troops in Macedonia to begin a march, not so much on Con stantinople, as on Berlin," said a Brit ish general staff officer from t".:e Dar danelles.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) If tho experiments of the Rocke feller institute scientists on carr?tTr cure are confirmed by time, it will be a splendid triumph for modern medi cine. These experiments tend to show chat the leucocytes, or so-called white blood cellH, have the power, whtn enormously Increased In n'in.ber, of making ono immune to canser. And the Rockefeller institute men have found a way to double the average number of such cells of the system. Of course, this may be followed by some cons?quent ill. For ono can hardly believe that a doubling of these white lympa cells can bo brought about without some after ef fect. The white lymph cells have an apparent individuality of their own. They wander through the tissues, seeking obelr prey, which is all those germs that may be hurtful to the budy. They are the guardians of thc blood and cellular tissue. If the new method cures cancer, lt will have proved that this disease ls actually caused by a germ-something denied by many scientists, because the mi croscope Oms so far failed to locate the germ. Stirring Un a Hornet's Nest. (Boston Globe ) It has been noted often enough that the Germans have gained abso lutely nothing in a military, sense by their Zeppelin raids on Englan:!. Only a few days ago lt was pointed out. In England t rat no soldier or sailor has been killed in this way. Now the record has been broken, for among the many victims of tho re cent raid on London was ono British soldier. Probably ho was at home convalescing. . It can hardly be said that the kill ing of one soldier in all these at teints Justified tala kind of warfare. The Germans have been wasting their time and energy. Now, it appears, if we are to ac cept the reports from London, that the latest raid will react against the Germans. "We have broken all rec ords for recruiting in Trafalgar Square" was the announcement of a British officer after the raid. This wo take it, was London's answer. Recruiting has been difficult work in England. Speaking in tic vernac ular of the baseball fan. it lenka as if the Germans had "pulled a ^one." A Soft Answer.
