One of tue finest exhibitions of nerve we have Been, in Hie clrcuni staiwes now prevailing in the busi ness world, and espeeially for a news paper, UH HO business in the eountry baa felt more k^<-tily the pinch of lian! times, i- that shown by The Florence Times, u hustling dully newspaper published In the thriving metropolis of the greut Pee Dee sec tl M. Florence, in getting out a "Greater florence Rdltiou." TII?H sp><ia| edition comes -12 page? btrong, which is u mammoth paper for a town the size of Florence and a plant (lie capacity of ihut of The Times. A perusal of the sfveral bright sections of the puper reveals a w< ?Ith ol information with refer ence to the resources of the splendid Beet loll of country, rich In agricul tural resources, blessed with gv . climate HIM! fortunate in location ? i respei ts railroad transportation. Somebody on The Times hus been ut work, und, whoever he is. he knows his business. While the mechanical appearance of the edition is excel lent, the subject matter ls the n-ul feature of the paper. Various sub jects have been treated by persons well versed in the braiu-he* cover ed by their writing upon all topic covered in the edition. An editoriul in thia issue of The Tlnii s, which ls In Hu- nature of a foreword for Hie booster edition, is a clarion eall lo business to "burk up" willoh ls unexcelled by anything we have read In many moons. The Hplrlt exhibited ls so flue that we re produce herewith the editorial In i|ueHtion : "The extraordinary times through which we are passing huve fallen with heavier burden upon the South. perhupB, than upon any other section of the United States. By no means the least extraordinary or remarkable circumstance In connection with (lint fact ls that the South baa shown a power of reslstence to panic, a sta bility during depression and leainenev und recuperative power, which is truly astonishing. "Nothing can argue more atrongly the fundumeutal soundness ot South ern business, cud the resourcefulness of Soul hem business men than do these manifestations. "We have found that our business and our institutions were built upon a rock and not upon the sand. They were not to be beaten away by the tempest o( fear that swept the land like a gale before the face of the storm of approaching war. "With every business prospect bright and abundant crops smiling from every Held, with confidence strong and nothing to threaten the way, wa looked out upon a year of unprecedented prosperity and prog ress. With the first crash of war business was paralysed and the very abundance of our great cotton crop but served to -further depress Un value. The crisis was the severest that the New South had ever met. How she has met it is now a matter of history. She met lt heroically and triumphantly, and today she faces the future with a finer tread and surer purpose and more certain destiny than ever before in her history. " 'The times that try men's souls' bring terror only to the weak; to the strong they bring opportunity. "We believe that South Carolina recognizes this splendid fact and tb t she baa met and ls meeting that op portunity more than half way. We believe, and have believed, that the people of Florence, the business men, professional men, the working men. the farmers and God bless 'em, the women, are imbued with this spirit of self-reliance and community of in terest that makes that opportunity at tainable. They are resolved upon seising and making the best of lt. "This spirit prevadea every activity and the heart of every dweller in Florence we verilv believe and lt is this that makes Florence In truth a leader In every forward movement in this great section of South Caro lina pf which she ls the geograph ical centre as she ts the point of the crossing of the ways. "Convinced that this was so. we came to the conclusion that this was the time to "buck up" and let the country xnow that Florence, for one. was planning for bigger things-In thc midst of - war was planning for peace, us lt were, and we Invited our friends and patrons, the business men of Florence and of our elster towns of Florence County, to Join us In this movement for exploiting to tue world the advantages of Florence and Flor ence County and the opportunities which they offered to those who would come among us. The "Greater Florence Edition" of The Dally Times contains the re sponse to that cal). That it Was gen erous, we acknowledge moat graceful ly, that lt was splendid we protest to all those who scan these pages, that. it proven our caie and our contention we assert without fear of contradic tion. It exempt I fie? the spirit of pro gressiveness and confident strength which animates the spirit of tbe com munity. As an expression of this spirit, we offer yon. dear reader, our salutations through thia "Greater Florence" edition of The Dally Times. -'Here's how!*" _ Pertinent Query. (IAncaster Newa.)

The entrance ot Italy ls regarded as cer tain to drag in her close friend and blood relative Hon ma nia. sooner or later. And ir war does l lanie up again in the Balkans, all the little countries lately ullled against Turkey may once more tight side by side. There is no more expectation that Bulgaria will cast her lot with the Teutons, in spite of her bitter grievances against Servia and Greece. She may decide almost any time to plunge in and seize the territory wrested from her in the second Balkan war, after she had won I* in the first. Greece's neu trality is wavering, since the king, with his pro-German sympathies, has been taken seriously ill. There are signs that the former premier Veniz eloB. the strong man of Greece, w,io ls eager for a war of aggrandizement against the Turk, may be restored to power.

KM-President Tait seems to be mak in?; real headway lu his plans by which wars may be made Impossible in the future. At the head of 100 ot the most prominent men in the Knited States, he will preside over a meeting In Independence Hall. Philadelphia. June 1?. and at thia meeting lt is ex pected that the League of Nations will be organized. Mr. Taft has been working up the plan for severul months and has at last met with the encouragement of leading men in and out of politics. President Wilson is an endorser, personally, but not of ficially. At the Philadelphia meeting an organized movement will be I launehed to Induce the Knited States | to join a league of all the great na- i tiona, binding the signatories to agree ! to certin definite lines of interna tional action, the moat important of which hs that the powers joining the league use their joint military forces to prevent any on? of their number going to war precipitately. Toe other principal proposals, are first an inter national judicial tribunal and au In ternational Council of Conciliation, for questions that are not considered triable In a Judicial trbunal. It Is i. * Improbable that Mr. Taft may yet find himself in control of a machine through which he may be prsstlcal dictator of the world's peace. Ton Tlrplts, Typical Nea Bog. eWorld's Work.) Admiral von Tirpltt's character ls chiefly that on an old salt. Wtth his forked beard, his large, round face, his huge bulk, he physically looks the part ot Neptune. With a genuine sailor, he can easily unbend; he can roar out a Bailor's duty with the best of them;- his business and his relaxa tions are n?utica; even hies favorite drink, according to tradition, ls North sea sea roam! If he has one en thusiasm, it Is the British navy; he admires its history. Its traditions, Its great achievements. If fate In recent years has transformed him Into an Anglohcbe. tbst certainly lt not his chosen rois; for Nelson, Drske, Haw kins and the other great British ses rovers becsme the guiding Influences In his life. Moreover, he likes not only English naval Ideas, Cut England Itself; his children have gaiu?d their educaUon, In port, in England This Inclination, according to hts advisers, hs has transfered to the United States.

N ST THE WORLD stu. Frunce, Great Britain, Italy Bel gium, Serrula ?uni Montenegro and constructively with Jaran and Portu gal. Tlie entrance ot 'tollman's, Bul garia and Greece weald make u league of twelve enemies. Such u ring of foes, it might seem, would soon render Austria-Hungary Incapable or effec tive resistance, and finish the work of taking Constantinople and prostrating Turkey, leaving Germany alone the titanic task ot defending her frontiers against overwhelming odds. The appalling nature ot such a struggle is all the more impressive when the tull scope nf this possible "duodecimal alliance " is considered. Reckoning the twelve hostile coun tries and their colonies, Germany would be arrayed against much more than half thc world's fires, and near ly half the world's population. If we reckon together, Germany, Aus tria and Turkey, there ls a total' of 136,000,000 people against 800.000,000 out of the earth's estimated popula tion of 1,730.000.000. If we figure on Germany alone, at last standing at bay against such a pack of foes, it will be G7.0OO.00O people against SOO. OOO.000. 11 If Germany can win against such a combination as that, she may truly be said to have conquered the world, making trivial in comparison all the conquests of the Greeks under Alexan der, the RomanB under Caesar and the French under Napoleon. )MME>?T made rapid progress in the last gen eration.

All this, however, ls ot little value so long as the control or the university ls re presentative not of tlie whole people of Pennsylvania but solely of "the ruling class," of a sinai! group willing to give and able to get, with Indus trial power, political privileges, and see lui prestige. There is no repre sentative of labor on the board. There are. few if any representatives of rad ical thought of small business of the farmer. Tb? university is run by the people who raise the money; and these men, consciously or unconscious ly, invest their capital In the busi ness of making public opinion.

WM. H. TAFT, Former President. NAHANT, MASS.-The German note doesn't seem to me satisfactory, or to meet in any way the President's note of May 15. lt is the duty of the President, however, to make reply, and to take such action as he shall deem proper. HENRY CABOT LODGE, Member Senate Foreign Relations Committee. YAZOO CITY, MISS.-If the German note is correctly re ported it is a mere evasion of the question at issue. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, Member Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. WAPETON, N. DAK.-As the German Government has not seen fit to either express its views on the note sent by the President or to indicate what its future course will be, we are as far from a settlement of the difficulty as ever. However, I believe the two governments will reach an agreement on this question. P. J. M'CUMBER, / ' Member Senate Foreign Relations Committee. r ? _ * SAN FRANCISCO-The German reply to the American note puts the matter squarely up to the United States. I think it is now time for this government to maintain a firm position. JOSEPH R. KNOWLAND, Representative in Congress. ? ? STRAY SHOTS IN MOVIE LAND. ? ?
