O Don't blame the suffragist who got sore when she turned to the encyclo pedia to soe what lt had to say about Eve, and read, "For Bve, see Adam." It's alway* like that. ' \ -O-L_ From the fae?, that German Imports ia this country fell from $20.000 in ,May. ?14, to $400 in May. 191R, it look? as if -thai ^ineffective" British embargo were haring some effect. U t ICM AN .MI SI ' N U E HST A MUM.. It isn't any wonder that the Oer man government doesn't understand public sentiment lu the United Btates. It luis railed lu understand every na ilon that it lias had anything to do with In connection with this war. The militarist-statesmen at Berlin seem diplomatically blind. They believed that Great Hrltuln wouldn't go to wur-that lt couldn't, because Irish revolution was Immi nent,and because the lirltish colonies would uti revolt If war were declared. The Orman musas-ador had do as sured the Kaiser. Hut the Irish Bub sided, und every colony in uny quur ter of the wo"ld hastened to help light the Qerma/is. The Doers, count ed on particularly to Join the German cause, huve Just conquered Orman Southwest Africa und added It to the British empire, and are about to light for England In France. The Cern?an statesmen believed that Belgium wouldn't resist invasion, and Belgium resisted. They believed that Kassia would face revolution, und would tuko two months to moblllz? anyhow, and in two weeks united Huss'r. was battering at Hast Prussia. They believed that Frunce was decad ent and hopelessly divided, and France is unified, fighting with a spirit that wins the admiration even of Germany. They believed that Ituly was with them, and Italy Ls righting on 'he other side. They believed that Japan would keep her hands off from hatred of Russia, and Japan drove the Ger mans out of Asia ao l ls co-operating with Russia and helping to drill Rus sian recruits. They believed that Servia couldn't fight, and Servia drove out the Austrians and kept them out. They believed thu* Austria wa3 u strong ally, and Austrian armB have lost cvery'wher? except whim support ed by Germano. They believed that the Sultan of Turkey could start a Holy War of-Mohammedans ugalnst the Allies in Asia and Africa, and thc Holy War failed utterly. In every land their diplomatic rep resentatives and socrot emissaries ap pear to have given the Kaiser un trustworthy reports, or elBe all re ports have been misinterpreted at Berlin. Now the Berlin statesmen hopelessly fail to get the American viewpoint, or appreciate the strength of thc American suport of the presi dent In his demand that Germany re spect our sea rights. It is strange that the leaders of a race so brilliant *n other respects should fail eu completely In seeing In to the mlr Js of other races. Even German leaders In Amorlca seem odd ly lacking In insight, J In arms. Ger many is the admiration of thc world, but in diplomacy she has nothing to BIIOW but a eir?c8~of blunders that have alienated even friendly neutrals and won her a "world of enemlo''." That's what comea from letting mili tary men without tact or Imagination run a government. .Says the New York World: "They muy not talk so eloquently about it, but ? nit should not obscure the fact that to many millions of American people thia .ts the .?'utherlnnu." ' THE WORLD M TWENTY YEAHS. At the International Christian En deavor convention in Chicago, loaders of thc .organisation were asked to ex press their opinion about the normal status of the world twenty years hence. There was nothing ot the unques tioning faith represented among college Y. M. C. A. men fifteen or twenty yean? ago, in. response to Johv. It. Mott's slogan, "The evangelisation of tho world In twenty-five years." Ono leader, the field secretary for Califor nia, was decidedly pesslmtrtic. He de clared that "the elements which make for unrighteousness are more power ful than those which make for right eousness, and twenty yet-ra will see the world much worse ott than it is today." He saw no hope of converting heathen to the Christianity, because, he -aid both In heathen and Christian nations,. heathens are being born faster than they are being converted, so that "the Christiana are becoming an ever smaller minority." Others, however, were more optim istic. One of them foresaw a great In crease in the power of Christalnlty, through ita popularisation by such me as Billy Sunday, and ita closer appli cation to dally life." Another sar? a great force for good tn the of tci. rep robated moving pict a rsa. Another pro phesied that card playing would give ita vogue and that dacing would give way to more wholesome outdor ex ercise. Another anticipated a general discarding of' "frivolous pleasures" and a moro ser lout? or "rational" tend ency In recreation. None had th* .e.nerity io promise the abolition of warfare, though one expected r.mro Interzatlo? .1 coopera tion and good wUJ. Most of;,them be lieved there vroa?d be "a treater com iiiunity life" und more ?oclu? coopera tion. Hut here ia thc most striking thin?; about tho whole symposium: All tht? leaders, without an excep tion, declared that twenty years will bring national prohibition, und one went so far as to declare thut in I9;{.*> there will not be a single saloon on the coutinent north of the Mexican border. While the various belligerents are fighting each other for their respec tive "places in the sun," ali that Uncle Sam wants of them ls the favor Ulkt old Diogenes asked of the Creek militarist, Alexander the Great-"Get out of my sunlight." .VAKING Ol/H OWH DYK H. A few months ugo many American industries were fearing ruin because of tho treatened deprivation of Ger man dyestuffs. German importations have failed, as they feared, but our predicament isn't nearly so bad as everybodya expected. American manu facturers are riping nobly to the oc casion. Th? situation is very serious, but is rapidly improving. Some Industries using large quantl tlesof color have created their own substitutes. A still more satisfactory Toa'.ure i? the sudden expansion of tho domestic aniline dye industry. It has already grown to respectable propor tions, and it the war lasts for t-o yeurs more the end of it may find us Independent of foreign nations in a branch of trade in which Germany for merly had a world monopoly. Assurance has been given that the American color makers will be pro tected when Germany is again free *o enter our m irkets, or chooses to do so. Heretofore the Germans have frustrated every attempt to establish thc industry here, hy flooding the market with their dyes, and with the aniline oil which is the basis of them. nt a price that no American firm could possibly meet. Our business men are now protected from mich cut throat competition from rival Ameri can firms under the anti-trust laws, and the department of commercee has promised that they shall have simi lar protection from foreigners. The result will be not only the de velopment of a profitable industry and thc extension of our industrial independence, but the utilization of vast amounts of gas and other coal tar products that we have been wast ing. Headline over Mexican dispatch: "Carranza's Bunch Beats Villa's Gang," We didn't read the dispatch, but imagine lt sounded something like this: "Cen. Carranza's footpads sneak ed up behink Villa's thugs and stabbed them between the shoulder blades, while some of Villa's tru at braves, who had concealed themselves In tho brush beside the road, eased out after Carranza's butchers had passed and pelted them into perdition with sand bags."-etc. PATRIOTISM A KD POLITICS. The New York Tribune ls a Repub lican paper which will hardly bo ac cused of undue friendliness for a Dem ocratic president.' It* ha* 'consistently opposed Fresldent Wilson in nearly all fundamental matters of domestic poli ties. But with the Tribune, as with all genuinely American newspapers, quostlons of partisan politics "end at the water's edge." The Tribune therefore prints the following remark able editorial, headed "An Appeal to Americans." by way ot comment on such papers as are now contusing American po'ltlcs with European quarrels: J;. "German propagandist Journals al ready printing tabulations of the loss of Democratic votes incident to Mr. Wilson*e performance of his duty. This ls an impudent and Intolerable asser tion ot the J oe tr lue that the presld'v.t cf the Untt.'d Statos must think of the votes o? (hose frankly devoted io alien Interests when national honor and national Interest are at strice. "In this situation there ls lust one thing for Republicans to do. Their support of a president defending American lives and rights must bo complete, and unfaltering. American Republicans must replace German Democrats in the national alignment. The president must know and feel that at the waterY? edge all questions of partisan politics end. "It would be better for the Republi can party to Indorse Woodrow Wilson in Isl? than to permit the principle to be established that to defend Amer- j lean Interest ls to commit political shielder. Let no American, let no Re- j publican, be deceived by the far-reach-j lug and Industrious manipulation now tn progress." fa ' "" ? ?. 'll A LINE DOPE A prominent fermer at Starr has ] become very much Interested In thu Alfalfa club which wa? recently or ganized ut Helton and warn:; the Hel ton farmers that If they do not want lots of trouble not to sow any. He said: "If you don't want lots of trouble, don'! sow alfalfa. Along last May tho town folks invited us to spend a week and attend the chautauqua, but I guess they were glad to receive a pos tal announcing wc could not come b? tame we had to stop every thing and cut that old alfalfa. "Along the middle of June, when the corn and cotton needed cultiva tion the most and wheat and onts were ripe, we had to stop again and cut that blamed alfalfa. It was in bloom three feet high and gee! but it was liol hauling In that -hay. "Worse still I was fool enough to go to work and sow several bushels more. The only rest I'll get hereafter from hauling alfalfa will bc on rainy days. Then we had a long spell of hot weather in .September and about the first thing I knew that sume alfalfa was in bloom again and bad to have another hair cut. "This year my third cutting will take place by the first of August. Last winter I tried hard *o keep lt down during the cold weather by turn ing all toy goats, hogs and cows on lt, but the stuff Juat grew on. They could not keep It down and they grew fat on it. But still this alfalfa hay that we sweat so cutting and hauling mukes mighty fine feed the. t- dry days for all the stock. Everything on the place eats lt but the hired girl and she has not been with us long." For the first time sinee the revival meeting of tho Rev. Baxter McLon don closed Anderson is this week hav ing vaudeville. There is no doubting the fact that tho evangelist did much good during bis stay here, and that much of it will prove of a permanent nature, but we are Just a bit afraid that a portion of that- number who were cured of their,/'"vaudevHle-going habits aro sliding heck down . tbc rocky path and wil^-soon laud in the primrose way of their- naughty habits. The first performance of the Choo Choo Girls nt the Palmetto Theatre yesterday afternoon brought forth a packed house. Many of tho old timers were, there, and seats on the front row did not have to go,begging-for, you understand, front ?eats - are always cooler tlian those tn the rear, es ! pecially if the chorus girls are nifty I looking and their frocks were cut ? when the water was high! Sitting in the rear and looking toward the stage, one could see bright little spot lights chining In the darkness along the front row. It was caused by the footlights shining on the bald heads at the front. The house was packed ^nd the show was good. The glr'?: -.re not bad looking at all. They dance and sing well. Costumes are thc kind most folks would like^to wear at this time of the year but<dare not. Pink 6ton was himself again yesterday and wore a smile that told1, bf inward Joy at the, large audiences. Proudly, he marched about the house, like old von Hindenburg, of the VJerman army, marching around over .a battlefield on which he had stretched a million and a half Russians. Pinfcston, in all hu man probability, will not have to eloso up this wee-k on account of lack of patrons at the show, for old Satan is still with us and he will occasionally take us by the nape of the neck and drag us to the vaudeville. -0-1 "Uncle PHI" Miller. former?7 a resi dent of Anderson, but pot' making his habitat In A*?beriUo, ls yo ou a visit to friends am* iclatlv n.

Whaley, former secretary of the cham ber of commerce, will be pleased to learn that he has landed the job in Amarllloa, Texas, which he went after. The following from the Daily Pan handle tells of his election as secre tary of tho Amarllloa Board of City Development: Porter A. Whaley. formerly sco'e tary of thc Anderson, S. C., Cham ber of Commerce, and former West' Texan was this morning appointed secretary of the Amarllloa Board of City Development and Immediately took charge of the office . and began to outline plans for the work of that body. The special committee appointed last Monday afternoon to make a deal with Mr. Whaley mel this morn ing and closed the deal. The com m'ttee was composed of W. S. Rule, Ford Brandenburg and M. ?. Nobles. Mr. Whaley began, as a newspaper reporter for the Pensacola. Florida, Daily Journal, and has since been connected with the New Orleans States and El PUBO Herald. In 1903 he was elected assistant secretary of the chamber of commerce of El Paso, and later became the secretary of tho Pecos Commercial Club, ono of the livest organizations in West Texas. About three years ago he was elec ted secretary of the chamber of commerce In Anderson, ?S. C., a cot ton manufacturing city of about 20, 000 people. He now returns to West j Texas, lie has s pep.', the better part j Of the last ten years in commercial organization and publclty work. He was secretary of the Texas Commer cial Executive Association In 1912 when ho went to South Carolina and in that State was president of the State Secretaries association. He is a.graduate of the Porter Military Academy of .'"?inrleston, S. \c, and has taken special courses in several other r diools. Mr. Whaley today declared that be was delighted with the prospects before Amarillo and believed that ihc Board of City Development would be ohio to carry on a cam? paign of work -'the results of which would be of Incalculable benefit both to Amarillo and the whole Pan j handle. Ho expects to spend the next ten J days or . ^ in meeting the people of j the city and familiarizing himself! with local conditions. Mrs. Wh?ley ! and children will arrive in Amarillo In about thirty dtv/a. Mrs. Whaley Is a native of Texas. -o In most cases Honor, or too much of lt, viii make a beast of a.man. But we know of an instance where it made a Lord Chesterfield ot a fellow, who', though a gentleman, does not put him self out of the way to do stunts like the one hu pulled off Sunday when returning to the olly on an interurban train from a nearby resort. The fel low waa pretty full and was enjoying a comfortable seat on the shady aldo of the car. Pretty soon two ladles entered the coach and sot finding seats wore standing in tho aisle. Thl* fellc-v.' saw them and immediately got up and gave them his seat. About that time other ladies came into thc coach and stood in the aisles, because none of thc men would give them their scats. This fellow who wat' pretty f|ll made in his business to go about the car and urge men to give hp their scats to tho ladies. He succeeded in getting seats for all but about one of the ladies, and would have gotten this one a scat had not he come near get ting into a fight with one fellow who refused to abandon his perch. -o "Talking about hot weather," said a fellow yesterday, "if every fellow in Anderson would have suddenly and unexpectedjy been thrown into the middle of the street Sunday there would Jiavo been gone wild scamper ing for the tall timber. I mean by that there were more fellows who spent .Sunday in pajamas or night shirts and stretched out in the coolest spot in the house than you could shake a stick at." The thermometer in custody of United States Weather Observer H. H. Russell registered maximum temperature 101 degrees Sunday, which is the highest for the season. -o Sunday being tho hottest day of tkc season, hundreds of people flocked to nearby, resorts, to thc country and other places in search of a bit of com fort. Thc interurban lines did a rush ing business, train load?! of people go ing to WilliamBton, Greenville and Chick Springs and other places along the P. & N. -o Mr. W. L. BrisBcy stated yesterday that his large motor truck was aver aging thrco trips a week to Iva these days. He stated that because of the several buildings being erected there now he is selling much building ma terial and fra sending it down by the truck. This truck bas a capacity of 10,000 pounds. Ho said that one morn ing last week he received an order from Mr. W. Prank McGee at Iva' at 8:30 o'clock and that by ll o'clock the same morning the goods were de livered. -o M.-, W. R. Taber, travelling pas senger agent of tho Southern Railway, was in Anderson yesterday and an nounced that a special train would leave Anderson at 7:40 a. ra. on July 21 for Asheville, round trip tickets $2.60, ge~d returning on all regular trains. un ul July 26. This is an ex ceptionally low offer for this trip, and lt is likely that a number from thia section will take advantage of the low ratea and spend * few days In tho mountains. ? a One of the city officials called at tention a day or two ago to the tact that all persona who desire to pey their -paving assessments in instal roet?tr,. had better file the application required right away if they have not already done. so. Under the iaw tho asaesfegnents are all due not later than August Ind, 1915, but persons abo desire to pay one-tenth cash and the balance ni equal yearly instal ments are required by the law to filo a written application before the time expires for this privilege. The time wili soon be up and after that, there will -be no way in which thu city council can allow any person to pay by Instalment This is not a matter i to bc neglected If you prefer thc in i talment plun. Better attend to lt right away, or you may find when too late that you will have to pay all cash. -o Evans Pharmacy No. 1 had on sale yesterday some of the best pineapple sherbert a mortal ever dampened his palate with, and those who were for tunato enough to discover it and par take thereof will long remember the taste of it. We didn't ask 'whether it would be on ebie again today or not, but if it is suppose ycu try it Dr. T. O. Kirkpatrick was among the visitors in thu atty yesterday frcm Lowndesvllle and stated to a reporter of the Tho Intelligencer that ho was very sorry that thc report of a lynch ing at Lowndesvllle got into tho news paper.?. Ho stated that he attended the young man who was recently shr there by the negro and knew thu case. Ho stated that there was no lynching and that as yet there had been no arrest. -o Reports of a lynching near Lown desvllle several days ago were With out funda tim in fact, according to tho following Abbeville dispatch to tho Augusta Chronicle: There has been no lynching in Ab beville County, as was erroneously re ported from Anderson. Sheriff H. M. Burts and Deputy J. E. Jones have made a thorough investigation of the alleged lynching, and find, that there i-i Httlo foundation for the story. The story of the killing of young Mr. Lu cius Crittenden, near Lowndesvllle, by a negro named Charles Robertson, as sent to The News and Courier by this correspondent, wac obtained from the sheriff himself, and was correct. Young Crittenden became engaged, in an altercation with the negro on account of a previous difficulty his younger brother had had with Robert son concerning a knife. Robertson shot Lucius Crittenden through th': stomach, from the effects of which,ho died a few hours later. . The negro escaped across tho Savannah River into Georgia, and has not been caught. So far as the sheriff was able to learn, the only foundation |for the \ story of the alleged lynching was the firing of a party bf fishermen from Elberton, Ga., who were camping on tho .Savannah River bank. The people of Lowndesvllle and of Abbeville aro Bald to be Incensed over the publication of tho story of an al- ? leged lynching. ' A Prisen Pest.
