"THE ODOH OF JIONE?"
Tho federal Judge who sentenced
tlic conspirators of the Hamburg
American lino for falsifying clearance
papers did well in imposing a prison
tenn rather than a money fine. As
lil" judge remarked In passing sen
! lonee, "The less odor of money there
la in this case, the hotter."
I Ills remark waa all the moro ap
' proprlate because of the odor of
money which already attached to the
ca.-c, and which lia? made a very bud
smell in this countr*' sine; ibo war
began.
' Jv appear', from evidence collected
by tho government that $2,500,000 of
(.'orman money was devoted to sup
pl) lng tho Heu raiders from American
ports, In ways that Involved tho
breaking of our shipping laws und
j compromised our neutrality In tho
I eyes of tho world. It would have
I been a almplo matter for tho offenders
? to pay a few thousand dollars' Rao
out. of tho liberal German funds that
are presumably still at their disposal,
j And such a penalty would have cn
I cmiraged them and their government
I in persisting in their bland assump
tion that money cun Imy anything in
America. Tho prospect of a year and
I a half in tho penitentiary, with the
disgrace inseparable from arch a so
journ, must bring home to every man
involved, and to his superiors at
Washington and Berlin, the serious
ness of their conduct .
Tho total amount expended in Ger-'
many's interest in this country dur
ing tho past year is said to have been
$27,000,000, most of it apparently ob
tained from American sources. Nearly
half of that fund Is alleged to have
boon devoted to financing a now Mexi
can revolution beaded by Geni
Huerta,. which waa meant to embroil
thia country with Mexico in case tho
German controversy became more se
rious. That plot was foiled by tho
government catching Huerta and
shutting him up In Jail. About $3,

are responsible for the many strikes.

' Ll III: HAL BIBLE TEACHING
An unusual situation has doveloped
in a Baptist training school In Chi
cago. There is a critical controversy
nycr ihn < inn sit! on of Bible interpreta
tion. Ordinarily In such*Institutions
tho Instruction is not modern enough
; to satisfy the students, in this caso,
?lt is the students who aro finding
fault bc cause tho teaching in too lib
eral.
1 They don't Vant :Adam, " jonah/
Sampson.,' Job and Lot's' wife"'treated
aa "unhistorical" in accordance with
tho higher, criUobim." *>Thfty<>|JM&H
On. bellovlng, that thefo>really was a
first man named Adam who lived in
the Garden of j Elden ; that Jonah was
swallowed J>y^ a j whale v ondv preserved
miraculously as tho Qo?d Bock says:
that. Sampson was a sure-enough
israeli tish hero instead of a solar
myth; that Lot's wlfo did turn to ?
pillar oft salt, and Job KU rf or ed from
real hoitu ut tho instigation bf Satan.
These students are not mere chil
dren. They ara young men and wo
men training for; missionaries. Neith
er do .they, represent .any. particular
conservative' community. They come
^ from 'every section of the United
States, and most of them are from tho
'presumably liberal-minded west. Thoy

Euglaud'a v: There ls no prospect bl
ct agr?as sanctioning such
militarism, and the mere advocacy ot
snell costly programs tends to turn
thc public uguinst legitimate in
creat-OB.
Th? most moderate armament will
be expensive enough. The estimates
for the administration program call
for $2U.C00,O0O for the navy and
$102,300,000 for tho army for tho next j
Oneal year. That ls a jump of $124,
000.000 lu expenditures for the nu
de nal defense.
Tho total ?um asked for. $363.800,
000. -ls $00.000,000 more than this
country over raised from tariff rev
enuer In one year. It is nearly us
muclf ?is the military and naval ex
penditures of cither Creal Britain or
Germany the year before thc war. lt
is f ir more than France spent for de- J
fens?' in that year, even while she
was preparing for the Inevitable clash |
willi Gormuny. It. IH nearly three |
times as much ns Jnpan spent on
armament In ibo year 1914-15.
It is going to bu hard enough to
persuade thc people and their con- j
fcressmon to stand for tho $300,000,
000 to $400.000,000 needed for a mid
dle-of-the-road program of defense,
without scaring them into blind paclf-1
ism by urging an armament policy
that call for more than half a bil
lon a year, half of which would have
to bo raised by special taxes.

The Line O' .Dope wad was stand- ]
lng on thc street corner yesterday
afternoon, not Idle, for he was pat
iently waiting for a man up on top of
Hie court house steeple to fall off so
ho would liave a good story for this
morning's paper. However, lt seem
ed that tho chancea of thc man falling
were rather few, and KO he glanced
down the street.
A sight which he beheld caused
h'm to think for a moment that he
had been suddenly transported to
New York and was looking down
Broadway, for what he saw wore
(?ve r.martly dressed young Indies
((lining down the street, each ono
tarrying a wal'.clng cane. However,
as the::e ladies came nearer, ho.saw
that they were acquaintances of his,
and he realized that ho was still in
thc Electric.etty.
Yes, these young ladies claim they
have organized a Cane or Corn Stalk
club, and that they will have regular
i:sct-.ting. They steic-? that they pur
chased the canes yesterday morning
and were going to "Rush" them.
Now of course thc habit of the wo
men carrying canes has been in
I vogue in New York and other large
cities of tlio north for some time, and
last winter nearly all of the tourists
who came south sported a cane. How
ever, this ls a new fad In Anderson
and will doubtless prove very popu
lar. It 1H a good ' ono too; because
nothing is moro noticed in a city by
u visitor th^n the styles. It is hoped
that thin club will admit new mem
bers, which of course will bo tho case.
These girls have named their canes,
but thc Lino O' Dope man dares not
prl'it them for he is too modest. Just
watch the young men of the city go
to sporting "sticks" within tho next
few weeks.

Nearly all of the merchants have j
slp.nid the potitlon to elbso their j

THE OLDEST HALE
New York Finn Hus Biro of Cotton
Ginned Prior to 1802.
The Intelligencer Is In receipt of. a
circular letter from Mr. Walton
Storm, of tho big New York cotton
firm of Johnston, Storm and company.
27 William street, In reforenco to the
oldest bale of cotton in the world.
There may ba some old bale, with a
Qlstory. stored away somowhero In
this country an i wo print the letter
as a matter of possible interest.
Tho letter follows:
Mr. ' Theodore Price in his paper,
Commerce & Flnanco (which moat
cotton people subscribe to,) -has re
cently started a discussion in refer
ence to the oldest bale, In tho world.
While this discussion does not affect
our present market,,, lt fis pf Interest
not ; only to . the cq.ton j trade -but to ?
nortUorn .investors and people outside
ol the. cotton belt, In that It shows
V?e imperishable qualities pf cot'.on
and tho -Investment possibilities that
cotton gives, as the only commodity
ot its kind in tho world tl ?at can ba
'held .Indefinitely without deteidbra
tion." '
We have in car possession n. sam
ple of a balo ginned ia 1862. - This
cotton was picked by ^lavo l?bor. gih
ned and. placed in a ventilated barn
and kept there for Q number of years.
At tho death or tho owne>.- it was plac
ed in 'a local warehouse in South
Carolina by the son of the raiser, and
(:as been held by him largely out ot
sentiment to hts father's memory.
Wo are very anxious to find older
bales if they exist, and if you have or
know of a bale that wac ginned prior
io. 1862, it would be of very great in
terest to tho cotton" world to know
of it, to know when it was ginned,
whether cultivated' by slavo labor,
why it waa held and such other d?->
tails as would be of interest, to hie
general public.
The ^idea indiscussing a matter bf
this; kind is largely to int?irest .b?opde
in tho cotton market I, If tte ^st. and.

standpoint, realized .the tremendous
postCbilitlcs of t.-iylng andfY?fc0tdlnjg

Hitchcock's Satire.
Raymond Hitchcock is, of course, l
an incorrigible joker; quita unable ?
under any circumstances to refrain
from his bit of flin, says The Na
tional Monthly.
While in BoBton recently Mr.
Hitchcock had occasion to . patronize
ono of the trolley cars there, which
ba boarded with a friend. The con
ductor. In charge of the car was an
extremely Blim, boyish fellow, whose
chm was absolutely guiltless of any
hal.', and whose rosy checks pro
claimed his country origin.
".Did you ever Bee B?ch a youngj
conductor?" queried the actor of his
friend.
"That's right," replied the '? other,
"look? like a more boy, doesn't he?"'
"He does, Indeed," announced . ,Mr.
Hitchcock, narrowly scrutinizing the
conductor as he drew near. He then
appeared, more youthfal .? Mien 'before,
although that would seem incredible.
"Ara 1 yom the -regular, ..conductor
queried Hitchcock,*;,.affecting:-ln- >
tense interest in the matter. ' . '
/. "Yes, slr/.. replied, , the youth. r
"Then permit' me to soy thal, yon

older,than my friond's son here. He
's 17."
"Yon don't say so?" queried., the
conductor^, slightly fussed, and in a
testy tone. Then in a gruff voice,
"Fares, please,".
. . "May I ask you Just ono question," ?
queried Mr. Hitchcock, aft?r the/fares'
had been paid,
''Yes, but please make ,.it short;'
I'm' busy" retorted the conductor.
. "What ? would like to . know, said
Hitchcock, "is this; were you born
