Thursday, June 17, 1915. ! Weekly Weather Forecast. Issued by the United States weather bureau at Washington, for the week beginning Wednesday, June 16, 1915. For the South Atlantic and East Gulf States: Showers Wednesday, Saturday and j Sunday, with temperature above the Bpk seasonal average. There is some talk that the proposed water mains may take in only a part of the city. We hope this is I not correct. While the town is at it, let us go the whole way and put water in reach of everybody?at least within a reasonable distance of all portions of the town. Because the woman who was kill- j ed here last Saturday night was aj negress, and her slayer was a negro! man, we hope the efforts to bring the criminal to justice will be no less) than if the parties were white. An atrocious crime should be avenged.' whether the parties are white or black. In a burst of eloquence. Brother Ed DeCamp. the inimitable, sends this forth to cheer his appreciative readers: "Love is the concentrated essence of goodness, sprinkled upon the ten-i der petals of a crystalized violet. It; comes skyhooting dow n from the high heavens on a n^'.low moonbeam, ! entwines its silken tendrils about, your nuuering nean uum >uui j breath comes in short, quick, ecstatic gasps and your soul just seems to float away on a billow of seafoam to; ??; the Island of Rosebuds and Orange Blossoms." S * It is to be hoped that the senselessness of mob violence will be emphasized by the tragedy at Winnsboro this week. Innocent men seek- j ing to follow their oaths of office lie; cold in death. The sheriff, sworn. I to maintain law and order, was seek- j ing to protect a prisoner charged with the usual grave offense, when he was attacked. The negro was ' killed, and so were two white officers. The negro's crime is avenged, as it J doubtless would have been without interference by enraged friends or \ relatives of the victim, but whose crime does the death of these valiant officers avenge? Without doubt the clearest expression we have seen in regard to the resignation of Mr. Bryan is from the Yorkville Enquirer. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan are generally regarded as| being about the biggest men in thej. country, and it comes with ill-grace in-*. ovcrare nprson with his! small vision, to hurl viscious criticisms at either of them. The Enquirer says, concluding a most excellent N editorial: We have felt all along and we still feel that the United States should keep out of this war. We are unable to see that it is the duty of this country to interfere in any way; but we understand tnat our area of vision is only an infinitesimal fraction compared with that of either of the two great statesmen who have come to such a sharp difference and ^ it is not for us to try to decide between them. Publicity Precludes (iraft. One of the most potent reasons for the wide latitude allowed some public servants who exercise wide discretion in the matter of expending public money among their political favorites is the lack or publicity. It is a good idea to let the public know who gets the business of the city, county. State or nation, because only in this way can the dispenser of public work be prevented from handing the jobs to his friends alone.?William Jennings Bryan. t \ % i % A Wanderer's Wish. , 1 wish I owned a little green-turfed St: plot.

The following descrip-j 11 of this point, whence the-great litary and naval attempt upon the' -midably fortified strait is being j ide. is given by the war premier the National Geographic society. "The island of Tenedos commands i approach to the Dardanelles, lv? but eight miles southwest from * mouth of the strait and about e miles from the coast of Asia I nor.

"Tenedos, despite its Insignificant e, commerce, population count, and jductivitv. has been visited by iny an imposing hostile fleet and ny, brought thither by its strategic lue as a forepost on the world's >st disputed waterway.

The island has been an Otuan possession since 1322, being :luded under the administration of 3 archipelago vilayet. "Uneven, rocky, almost mountains in parts, there are yet within the square miles of the island's area ne very fertile soil. There is me fruitful garden land and h pasturage, but the most imporlt product is wine, of which some 100,000 gallons are exported each ir.

If We Fight Germany. Count von Bernstorff's efforts to ;serve peace for this country in its ations with Germany deserve rec aition. The German ambassador, hough embarrassed by the interation in his means of communicat; with his government, is extralinarilv active in his endeavor to isent to Berlin an accurate repreltation not only of American dends buj of the national sentiment lind the demands. The most apparent error in Ger,ny's policy throughout the war is it it has considered only the pon ables. In a world of sentiment it 5 endeavored to create a world of t, evidently not understanding it when the emotions are sittings Iges facts make poor witnesses, rt of the German fury may be exined by saying that the Germans facts too large and are enraged Lt the rest of the world-does not i them at all or sees them too all. rhe elaborate endeavors to prove .t the Lusitania carried guns and ; insistence upon the fact that it ried ammunition get nowhere linst the American sentiment that i killing of non-combatants, won and children is murder without use. 5o long as the Germans decline to the non-combatants on the decks i the Americans decline to see the munition in the hold the opening deadly consequences is wide, ant von BernstorfF is trying with his power to bring his governnt to understand that the Amerii position is one which the Amerii sentiment made it obligatory for s government to take.
