THE FALLAC Y OF KA8Y MONEY.
One of the unfortunate things about
our war trade 1? thut It hub interfered
with our going after the peaceful
trade of the rest of the world.
Wur order* have Het our factories
to running at capacity and war profits
liav<- dwarfed the returns of other
forms of export business. Such orders
have come easily. Orders In new
markets come hard. U costs a great
deal of money and takes a great deal
of time to cultivate new trude op
portunities of South America and th?'
Orient and improve the old ones in
neutral countries.
Hut the war orders won't last for
ever. When I hey stop coming, some
of our manufacturers are going to
have hard times for a while. With
Kreut plants on Uu?r hands and
stockholders accustomed to a high
rale or earulngs, they may suddenly
discover that they can no longer keep
I hose pl.ints running or P?y dividends.
There will bo a difficult time of re
adjustment, while they're getting hack
to n pence hnsls, lining up their old
customers and doing the pioneer de
velopment work that they should have
been doing while the war was In
progress. And that pioneer work will
be immensely harder then, in the face
of tho keen competition inevitable
when the warring nations turn to the
recapturing of their old markets.
Permanent trade, which Is the only
trade really worth having, Isn't hand
ed to exporters on a silver platter as
the war ordors have been.
8THEET-8 WEEPING AND PREACH
INC.
New York City experts have decided
that $840 a year is the lowest income
on which a workman's family of Jive
people can maintain a decent stand
ard of living.
The figures are based on a study of
tho city's street sweopors.
Now, street sweeping is neSiher
skilled nor an arduous occupation. In
most cities tlto, street-cleaning Jobs
are given to men considered unable
to make a living In othT lines of
work. It's interesting to learn, there
fore, that a street sweeper in the
metropolis deserves a couple of hun
dred dollars a .year more than the
average earnings of American work
men throughout tho country. It eeema
to follow thai moat American woi'.c
ineu are paid less than they need' for
"a decent living."
And not only the workman. The
averago pay of high-school teachers
in small cities of the United States
Is glvon by the Educational Bulletin
of |745 a year?leaa than 'the present
average of New York street sweepers.
Hural school teachers in New York
State get about $400 a year, and less
than that In many States. New York
State clergymen In 1910 averaged
?(; ;:: a year. Pennsylvania coal min
ers are said >to average less than $450
a year.
Of course, wages and salaries are
higher In this country than anywhere
else; but after all, they're nothing to
brag of.
?TRUE AMERICAN SPIRTTV*
A few days ago the Now York
World showed, by documentary evi
dence, that tho "Fatherland"?the
pro-Qorman, anil-Amorican magazine
published by Oeorge Sylvester Viereck
?had accepted money from Dr. Hein
rich Albert, German privy counsellor
and financial director of tho German
propaganda in the United States.
Bditor Viereck protested that the
sum receipted for In tho published
autograph letter, $260, was all he had
got from Dr. Albert, although his own
letter to the Herr Doktor had asked
for $1,500 more and seemed to imply
that he had previously been receiv
ing similar monthly amounts. In any
case, Viereck Insisted, the payment
Wna legitimate.
Dr. Albert declared: "It 1b not true
that an effort has at any time been
made secro.ly to Influence American
public opinion," and that whatever
had been done to win American sym
pathy bad been done "in the open."
It happens that there is another
magasine published in New York call
ed "Pair Play," which has been ac
tlvoly pro-German during the war. Its
editor is a Hungarian cftlsen named
Marcus Braun, who 1b abroad now on
a "secret mission."
The New York World of August
21 prints a reproduction of a check
for $5,000 made out to the Fair Play
Printing and Publishing: Company oa
May 28, 1015, bearing the signature
of "J. Bernstorff," German ambassa
dor to the United States.
It will be interesting to see what
explanation will bo' offered for that
The World also prints a reproduc
tion of a letter from Ambassador
BernsfcorfT to Mr. Braun, dated March
IS. IIIS, In which he says:
"During the last seven months 'Fair
Play* has, in its editorial policy, treat
ed all fcelUjrereuts Justly aad thereby
rendered great service to Ute millions
of forelguborn Citizens of this coun
try, especially of Ceniiun und Austro
lltmgariau origin. 'Fair Play' lia?
fought for the rights of the latter and
for truth, nlwaya maintaining an
American attitude and .-.howing tru?*
American spirit."
Perhaps the German Ambassador le
u good Judge of what constituted
"true American spirit." And perhaps
he Isn't, it will occur to moat Citi
zen?, and certainly to most editors,
that there Isn't much "American
npirlt" about any publication that
will accept money from any foreign
government on the face of the earth.
The* York News coniOB to us this
we I; 24 pages strong. A regular A'Z
centimetre wliimpamper. it 1? called
a "Home Coming Edition," and its
publisher, the Ht. Hon. I). Watson
Hell deserves nil manner of compli
menta for Ulla noble exhibition of en
terprise und patriotism.
They itnlk about these European
g?nerai? "leading" their arffiles Just
like the generals were really leading
instead of buing many miles to the
rear and with all kinds of chances
for a clean get-away In the event
their armies are routed.
"The homo coming day at Pelzcr
was a great day; the sham battles
were good, tho horse racing excellent
and the baseball between Pc 1 or and
Tucapau was a good game, the for
mer winning. Always go to I'elzer
on home coming day if you want to
have a good time," stated Auditor
Winton Smith yesterday. Mr. Smith
was among those who attended Sat
urday.
Dealers In gasoline in this city
have been notified to sell the oil r?t
18 cents for the present Instead ol
1C cents as has been the* price for the
past few months. This Is an Increase
cf two cents and will bo felt by auto
mobile users and others.
Anderson people will be Interested
in the following from tho Asheville
citizen la regard to Curtis McCoy
formerly known as "Dig Mack," of
tho Anderson baseball team In tho
Carolina association:
"Attacked by an unkno-.n negro at
the corner of Blltmore avenue and
11IIHard's lane about 10 o'clock last
night, Curtis McCoy right fielder of
the Asheville baseball team, director
of athletics of Wofford college, Spar
tnnhurg, and one of the smith's best
known athletes, was severely cut
about the ithroat. Bleeding profusely,
tho injured man staggered across the
street and collapsed on the porch
of a nearby building where he
was seen by passersby who advised
the police department McCoy was
taken to the Mission hospital where
an examination revealed the fact that
ho was slashed from ear to ear on the
back of the neck and from the left
side of the throat to tho point of the
chin. Physicians stated that the
wounds are superficial and are not
necessarily serious although tho in
jured probably will be confined
at the hospital several weeks He will
be unable to play ball again this year
and it is hardly probable that ho will
be able to repont to coach the Wof
ford bootball team on the date named
for the beginning of practice, Septem
ber 5.

Manager Plnkston stated yesterday
that he woud postively open <the Para
mount, in the future to be known as
?"The Jitney," and would put on a first
class three reel comedy show for the
price of five cents. Mr. Plnkston will
have nothing but comedy pictures
shown in this house and (Saturday he
will U?ve a Charlie Chaplin and an
Essanay.
o
The many friends of Lieut Ralph
Pennell, formerly at this county, will
be interested in the fact that r.fcortly
he Is to be transferred to the Phil
Urines. Mr. Pennell is the son of Mr.
R. E. Pennell of the Ebenexer sec
tion and for the past several months
has been stationed in the United
States army at Pont 8111, Oklahoma
Lieut Pennell will sail from Sao
Francisco on the transport, Logan,
September 7, raid will go to Manilla.
He will be located at Camp Stotens

Manager Trowbridge stated yester
day that he bad received a letter from
J. A. Cohurn in which it was stated
that it would be impossible for Co
burn's minstrels to reach Anderson
this season in time So play on the
opening night Mr. Cohurn stated
nj
that Ilia show was booked up unitl

??o
That is some show at the Palmetto

I Witty Foreman.
Case and Comment.
The foreman of a jury which sat in
1 a New England court room possessed
a ready wit that served him well I"
an encounted with a Judge of bril
liant attainments.
The Judge, although a man o ab
1 rupt spooch and manner possessed a
' quick sense of humor. The foreman
. was late one day, only a few mtuutos
late, but even that was' sufficient to
irritate his honor, as ho afterward
' owned.
' "I overslept, your honor," said the
I foreman, with due meekness, as he
took his seat.
"Fine hlmb." said the judge- testily.
1 "May it please your hnuor," said
. theforeman quickly, "I did not dream
of that."
"Kumit the fine," said the Judgo
hiding his mouth with his band for a
moment, but his eyes betrayed him
for ?11 that.

Franco, Aug. 20.?Associated Press
Correspondent.)?"We are in Bight of
the trenches at last," said a privato
in what is known as the Stock Ex
change Battalion of one of the rcgl
mentB of the New British Army. "It'B
been a long pull in a hard market.
But we never missed getting our shill
ing a day and our wives have got
their separation allowances regular
1y."
There. are privates in the Stock
Exchange battalion who have, names
well known in the world of finance.
Some of them have subscribed for
tunes to the latest war loan.
"At homo I have three bathrooms
in my house and sixteen bedrooms,"
said one. "Out here I am glad to
stand uup in line with a towel over
my shoulder apd take my turn with
the wash basin. As for sleeping on
straw in a barn it. is paradise after a
h ret march. I suppose we will get
these other tilings, too, like everybody
elsG doeB in. the trenches.''
"Bound to, though you have ten
thousand a year," remarked another.
"Maybe you have one in your shirt,
now."
"What interests us," said a divis
ional staff olhcor, "is not that they
are Stock Exchange men, but are they
good Boldlers."'
Many speak German as a result of
international financial relation;?.
"It would be odd," said one, "If I
should be shooting at KaufTman who Is
on the Berlin Exchango. We went to
school together In Germany."
Not all In the Stock Exchange batta
lion are affluant or members of the
Exchange, but all were recruited from
the Stock Exchange district. As they
march along a road In France, laden
with dust, the twenty-five dollars n
week clerk and the big broker are el
bow and the observer can not tell
one from the other.
There is another battalion compose'!
of artists, architects, musicians, and
men of kindred callings. Many offi
cers have been promoted both from
' the ranks of artists rifles and the
Stock Exchange Battalion. Then
there are battalions of miners, a
sportsman and companies from the
same factory and groups of..friends
who enlisted in a body In order to be
together during'the campaign.
Officers who have been In the fight
ing since the retreat from Mona are
saying that the New Army is chang
ing the whole face of life at the
front.
"We regulars all knew one anoth
er," one explained. ."We were a sort
of family. Whe nan officer was- kill
ed if he wore not an old pal at least
you knew who he whs. The names
on the casualty lists of the New
Army will he strangers.**
Promotion has been rajtfd. Boys
of nineteen who began as second
lieutenants in the New Army are now
first lieutenants. There are cap*
tains who are scarcely of age. One
knajo*, when
officer meets another who was a
major when he last saw him and finds
that he is now a brldadler-General or
{"brig-gen." in'army parlance.
