GOOD F?R CLEVELAND.
The qualified electors of Cleveland
School District No. :1G. of whom Utero
nre approximately 44, huve almost to
the man signed and turned over to
the county board of education a pe
tition which automatically makes op
erative in that district the recently
enacted Slnkler-IInwklns Hill, an act
to require school attendance.
irbe adoption of compulsory attend
ance in any district depends absolute
ly upon the co-operation of the peo
ple. This law simply means that all
children between the uj,ss of six and
twenty-one years have the right to
attend the local school or their dis
trict. Hut In districts adopting the
provision!- or this aet. ?hlldren be
tween the agos of eight and fourteen
will be required to attend four months
in the county and the full term in
town. Pupils under eight .and above
fourteen will not be affected.
Three methods of adopting the law
aro authorized:
1. Upon petition of a majority of
tbo qualified electors residing In the
district.
2. Upon election after petition by
one-fourth of the qualified electors
residing In any district.
3. Upon election after petition by a
majority of tho board of trustees of
uny district containing an incorporat
ed town or fifteen hundred inhab
itants.
The electors of Cleveland district
chose the first plan, and make a
sweeping succ?s or It. Tbnt the elec
tors or this school district petitioned
almost solidly tor the enactment of
the measure In their locality Is a
most healthful sign. It reflects a
keen interest in matters educational
and thoughtfulncHB for tho wollare
of the men and women of the future.
May others follow In the wake of
the Cleveland district.
A I.UK HT t S. JOHNSTON K.
Aside rrom our personal friendli
ness for Albert S. Johnstone, we are
deeply gratified that he has been
elected to the position or secretary or
the State board of charities and cor
rection. He is an Anderson boy, son
of Dr. A. P. Johnstone oC this city,
and grew to manhood In this town.
Wo do not know where we would
find a man just lik,c Albert Johnstone.
His firmness of character, loftiness pi
spirit and cleanliness of mind aro un
surpassed in any person wo know. It
was our pleasure to be thrown with
him for gome years while he was
secretary of the chamber of com
merce of Greenville, and during that
time we saw him put through all
manner of situations that try men's
souls. And not one time did wo ever
have reason to believe other than that
he was founded on solid rock, lie al
way rang true.
We are pleased that he has been
elected to fill this responsible posi
tion. We are glad because he Is an
Anderson boy. We are gratified be
cause we are confident the board
f.ould .not have found a man. he ter
suited for the work.nor one who will
labor more sincerely to.mako It a go,
It Albert Johnstone cannot make a
success of It, there's no use putting
any one else on Ute job.
Success to him!

PRESS COMMENT. *
Tient) of Wheat.
New York Times.
A at famine is one of the <a
laillitlcs that is not expected to hap
pen. The present condition of Winter
wheat in this country is excellent and
the acreage is the lurgest ever sown.
It is about 11 per cent greater than
last season's acreage, from which the
yield was a new crop record. There
fore the reasonable probability is
that there will be a large American
surplus, which, added to 76,000.000
bushels available from India and |
100,000,000 from Argentina. ought t
make rood the European deficient!
for another year, if that shall prove li
he necessary.
More convincing, perhaps, Iba
anything of what has been salil is III"
fact that on the grain exchanges May
wheat sells 40 cents a bushel higho
than the September option, whojrea
a year ago at this time, with a;
enormous Winter wheat crop in pros
pect, May wheat sold only 10 cent;
above the September option. On tin
new crop will be in active delivery
Obviously the grai n dealers expect
wheat to fall between now and Sep
tember, and fore one or more of threi
reasons, namely (11 the prospect ol
a very large wheat prodctlon In the
meantime, (2) the possibility that tin
Allies will force the Dardanelles und
gain access to the more or less imag
inary : tore of Russian wheat, and Ci)
the constant liability of peace. The
first reason has been discussed. The
second is perhaps rated beyond its
importance. The Russian crop last
year < s short. The exportahle sur
plus, i jr?f?r?, is small, and the gov
ernment in any event would be like
ly to place an embargo upon ship
ments of food grain from the country
The tninl reason is the one that con
tains dramatic, not to say theatrical,
possibilities for the grain trade. Every
one knows, or at least believes, that
peace coming suddenly would cause :
violent fall in the price of wheat, and
possibly one-half of the difference be
tween the price of May wheat and
the September option represents the
craln market's precaution against that
contingency. At all events, the shrewd
grain trader's oDinlon, made up in
several ways. Is that there will b<
j wheat enough in the world, and that
the price Is more likely to stay where
it is or to fall than to go any higher,
at least for a while.
Tempting u 1'ntient People.
The State.
The president ?.r the United States.
I facing fur his country an international
problem of constantly and rapidly
growing gravity, may at least ,be
I wholly assrod that be will, have th>
resolute support of bis people1..' ! in
whatever stens ho may think }t. wise
und honorable to. take. The people
of South Carolina, to the last aole
bodled man, would servo their coun
try at his call and all of 'them., are
prepared for any sacrifice, however
paii.fnl, that an embroilment with
other Powers might require them to
make.
Indeed, Incessant adjurations from
the press to the poople to "be calm"
are beginning to be received with
impatience. Observers of the faces
of those who in silence read the dis
patches about the destruction of
ttie Lusltanla on the bullcMn boards
yesterday could not but be in
pressed with their manner and wld
their occasional comments as they
walked away.
That the temper of the people Is
showing signs of strain under the
repetitions of news reports relating
to attacks on American vessels or
other .ships bcc.ring American pas
sengers is. everywhere evident.
Injury to American commerce ex
cites slight resentment. Assault on
American citizens Is surely aj-ouslng
the people to sullen anger much as
they abhor war and see i> it, at this
time particularly only misfortuno to
their substantial interests.
On this sido or tho Atlantic the
argument thfit temporary return by
a great Power to the war-making
methods of the Dark Ages for self
preservation Is justifiable commands
little respect. Our peoplo would not
look with confidence for a restoration
of civilization by a Power that ha
bludgeoned Itself, to a position oi
world supremacy. They are not ready
to consent to a suspension of all roles
and manners of cnllghtment and
progress slowly gained through the
centuries In order that a single
Power shall have free course to hack
Its way out-of difficulties. They have
small faith In the resumption, of Hu
mane methods after a victory won in
barbarous ways.
Should It bo the disposition of the
president to call the congress to
gether In extraordinary session and
ask it to authorize that considerable
enlargement of the army and the
navy that he, might regard advisable
In oi*der to make more effective the
protests of American diplomacy, con
sistently designed to promote the
peace of the world, it is certain that
he would be pheld In It by the peo
ple of South Carolins, however ear
nest Is their Hope that acts hsvlng
even tho distant appearance of men
ace or susceptible of interpretation as
a calculated show of strength may
be avoided.
The people of the United States will
not resort to war until thoy believe
If-inevitable and from that belief they
are still very far. But thoy are being
driven In the direction of it.

seldom warp. Never use soap in

stand the brush In it, taking car that

New t'oal Tar * Explosives.
The remarkaide destructive power
of modern guns, which are able In a
brief time to wreck tbe strongest forts
was made possible mainly by the re
cent dslcovery of certain new kinds of
high, explosives derived from coal tar,
says The Voutji Companion. They art:
"Insensitive;" that Is, they arc so re
luctant to explode that they are as
safe to handle as cornmeal or baking
powder. Shells filled with them ran
pass through the thickest armor with
out bursting'-withstanding both the
shock of impact and the enormous heat
generated. Not until tho shells have
penetrated the armor are they set off
by tho fiiBes they carry."
It Is that power to penelrate b?tore
bursting that gives the projocM.ei, tfteir^
formidabe character as destioyers ci'
permanent btructutes. When tuey
finaly do explode they cause wholesale
ruin, for the great volume of gases
suddenly set free can make room for
itself only by a wide dispersal of tho
surrounding material, whether it is
stone or cement or what not.
From coal tar aro obtained such
substances as benzine and toluene,
which, treated with nitric acid, make
explosives of the Insensitive kind. One
of them called "T. N. T." (short for
trlnitro-toluene.) has been largely us
ed bv the Germans in the pr sent war
for filling shells.
In accounts of the fighting that is
now going on in Europe you read of
the use of melinite by the French, and
of lyddite by the 'British. The Japan
ese In their recent attack on the Ger
mans in China, used shlmose. All
three of these high explosives are yjMi
and the eame thing, namely, picric
acid, which W. derived from coal .ar,
and which 'la melted and poured into
the projectiles.

Who Pays Fo
Following is the address deliver-1
ed by Mr. Eugene Brown before the
Ad club meeting at the chamber of
commerce Thursday night:
"Who I'ays for Advertising."
All advertising is divided into two
general classes, successful and un
successful. Unsuccessful advertising
is paid for directly by the advertiser
himself- -because being unsuccessful
ho reaps no return?and his advertis
ing is a direct expense, so much mon
ey wasted. I'nsuccessful advertising
usually is the result of one of two
sins?an unpractical advertising cam
paign or failure to back up your ad
vertisement with store service and
quality goods. I mean that it would
he unpractical for Mr. Lin.ley to ad
vertise his North Anderson property
In the Saturday Evening Post, as
woilld it be for Mr. Halles to adver
tise th?'p#e H.ive in the Atlanta Jour
nal. Howevor the standards of prps
2nt day advertising are weeding to
impractical advertisements, because
-luLSaturday Evening Post would not
take Mr. Llnley's money-and his copy,
but conscientiously tell him his plan
was wrong. The Atlanta Journal
would in nil probability refer Mr.
Halles to the local newspapers.
As to failure to back up your ad
vertisement with dtore service and
luality goods we suppose naturally
that any man who has sense enough
to advertise lias sense enough to know
he must deliver the goods. Unsuccess
ful advertising is well nigh impossi
ble, and as( a result of this we must
look upon all advertising ns success
ful and see where the money comes
from to foot the bolll.
1 Wo might begin by ; savin.- that
every nationally advertised, product
not only pays Its own bill with ad
vertising but actually accumulates a
surplus therefrom and declares a div
idend. Wc the public being the di
rect benefactors.
Take for instance any of the various
breakfast foods?Washington Crisps,
same old price, 10 cents, but a larg
er box; Kellog's Corn Flakes, same
old unadvertised price, sanitary mois
ture proof package.
Consider the old Williams Shaving
stick In a wooden box as every on
hero can well remember. Add a na
tional advertising campaign. What
to you get? Advance in price? No.
On the contrary same price and in
addition, waterproof rustless hinge
covered aicklo box. It was advertis
ing tiiat enabled the Holcproof Hols
cry company to put out a sock with
a guarantee. You yourself can think
of numbers of instances where the
public has been the benofactor of ad
vertising and not paying one cent for
it. The roason that it is possible for
firms to lower prices and better their
product Is Just the simple fact that
Relief Wori
The Hague, Netherlands, May 8.?
The immense drains made by the ref
ugees from Belgium ' on the good
heartedness of Dutch women have by
no means exhausted their efforts for
the betterment of social conditions in
their own country. The strain of
Belgian relief work has undoubtedly
been very groat, and still is espec
ially heavy upon the wives and daugh
ters of the Netherlands. Holland was
totally unprepared for any such emer
gency ac the arrivai over night wtth
Ing her borders of more than a mil
lion destitute neighbors. It was the
women of the Netherlands who had to
find immediate accommodations until
the relief work could be systemati
cally organ lied. They did it magnifi
cently and without a whimper.
Thousands of homes in Holland still
shelter refugees, notwithstanding the
general provisions which have been
made for the ' unfortunate Belgians.
One house in The, Hague, alone, baa
afforded, asylum to 71 destitute Bel
gians for nine months.
Hut in addition to this work of
pressing necessity, the women of Hol
land are carrying on their suffrage

r Advertising
I it induces an increase in the rate of
turn over. Suppose a manufacturer
is making 5 cents on each article that
lie Bells and suppose he puts on an
advertising campaign that will double
the demand for his goods or in other
words enable him to make 10 cents
In gross profit for every 5 cents he
made before. It is easy to see that
this man could pay 2 cents of this .">
cents for advertising 2 cent sfor im
provement of his commodity and still
iiove a larger profit than he ever had
before.
It is on this basis that all the big
national camnaigns have been con
ceived and executed.
One of the greatest advantages to
the public has been the btandardi/.a
tioi of goods. Uneeda Biscut is
standard. You know its good before
you buv it. A competitor says hi:>
;azor is as good as a Gillette. This
talcum is as good as Mennen's. Thb
lartl compound Is as good as Snr ?v-i
drift. See how near the new drink:
try to get to Coca-(Jolo. Why? Be
cause it Is standard. I
The advertising .right here in An- !
d^rson is paid the sam<*f way. You
increase your volume of sales or turn '
>ver without a corresponding ln
.ease h expense. There is not a
.Ingle grocery store In the city but
:ould take care of considerable more
business without any additional ex
pense?If they but had the extra bus
iness. There's where the advertising
comes in; it goes out Into the high
ways an dbywft.Ts and pulls them into
the store, then It's up to the store
service and quality of the goods, and
prices charged to hold the er 'toniers.
We will take one more view: If
you are bo fortunate as to be in bus
iness and have a competitor who
doesn't advertise?don't worry! Don't
you worry about who'll pay your ad
vertising bill. Jt will come directly
out of your competitor's cash regis
ter. People who have been spending
money with him, will quit him and
come to you. and spend tholr money
with you. This loss of volume of
business on -his part, and- a corres
ponding gain in volume of business
I on yours means financial losses to
j him, and a cor~esoondlng .gain in pro
fits to you, .for his "overhead" ex
penses will remain about the same
with both of you, and your not pro
fits on the increased business will
more-than pay you for the advertising.
And your non-advertising competitor
footed the bills in loss of. business
which came to you.
To sum It all up?money used for
advertising is not spent, but invest
ed; and when this matter is given the
time and thought that you give the
balance of your business, it will pay
you the biggest profit of anything
connected with your business.

In the school for working women
In Rotterdam last year, 109 girls were
turned away on account of lack of
accommodations for them. This year
the number has been less, since the
general condition of hard times lia?
forced many families to send their

the absence of many men mobilized to
guard the neutralit yof Holland has
greatly Increased-the.demand for wo

1014 shows that the tuition fees re

that year to $:i7?>.70. The expenses,
however, were $13,099.20. The deficit
was met by private gifts. Many of
the girls are forced to leave these
schools before finishing the full three

this neutral land, some of its whast
ly train of mediaeval horrors. There
are Uod Cross buildings in many
streets of the largev cities, and one
of the royal palaces- in The Hague
Iras been turned over to this work. In
this country there are not, of course,
any wounded to care for. But there
are the sick and the needy, and they
are cared for.
The Home for Destitute Babies,
too. since the mobilization has shown
a *;marked increase in the held of its
charitable endeavor. It is really an
organ izatlo ndevoted to tho care of
the unfortunate children of unmar
ried mothers. The babies of such of
the poorer women as die ip child
birth, whose fathers are prevented
by tho character of their work from
giving or providing proper care for
tho very young children, are also
taken in. Tho infants received in this
home nro kept from two to threo
years, upon a slight payment by the
mothers, whose plight ti.e sudden
calling of the men to the colors has
revealed.
