And they are whether s the man shall pursue the woman or / whether the woman shall pursue the v man. j a Over in Greenwood the latter p school of thought seems to flourish, " ?? -.*4- onrl in at least in tne younger oci,? that set is the question most agitated 1 and agitating. i: Just scan the following and note e carefully your reactions: I "The practice of certain girls from 0 the city of making daily, and some- t times even nightly, visits to the cam- s pus and buildings of the Bailey Mili- 1( tary Institute has become so annoy- b , ing that the authorities at the insti- r tute have been forced to appeal to(d the police department for protection^ Chief Chandler has been requested b to station one of his men near the S school grounds, beginning today, and. t to arrest those who it is known have! e no business driving about the cam- c pus and interfering with the work g of the .cadets. The names of the guil- rt ty parties are already known. j These flying automobile trips have s been in vogue for several months, v but no action has been taken against a them because members of the faculty ! felt that they would be discontinued voluntarily after the visits had become generally known, especially when the parents of the girls learn-) ed the facts. However, the practice j, has become worse instead of better,1^] and the only relief now, the authori- ^ ties say, is to have arrests made on1 j the charge of trespassing. I *f * - J 1-. I ? Afternoons ana eariy evenings, jy occasionally after dark as was ^ the ^ case night before last, are selected as j5 the time by the girls to drive all, w about the campus, waving and hoi-1 lering at the cadets, and at times ev-j h f en going so far as to drive up to the. u rear and actually enter the building., y It has proved to be great sport to thej j, young ladies, judging from their hil-j arious mood on each trip, but it has c not had the desired effect on the ea-' j, dets, that is, from the standpoint of. t the members of the faculty, it has s not been conducive to study and g good behavior, two of the main t things in the curriculum of a military! s school. j r At the last session of the South j Carolina General Assembly a bill t was passed making it a misdemeanor n for boys to loiter around the prem-j j ises of a school or college for girls.! a The author of the measure evidently (t has never investigated conditions r i ? i- u i _JJ_J _ .1 nere or ne wouia nave aaueu a clause i applying to girls?especially a few j Greenwood girls.?

Throughout the country the campaign for $13,000,000 is being waged this week. Back from the battlefields of Europe the Salvation Army i fj goes before the people of the United I ^ States to seek armament for the $x- t tended battle front. ^it ja - throwing) i $ out in its warfare against poverty, > *? sickness, discouragement and crime, < ?a warfare it has been carrying on ' ' for more than 50 years. 1 AD of us realized in a dim sort of < vay before the war that the Salvaion Army was doing a great work, iut for the most part that work was emoved from our doors. We thought! if the Salvation Army and the slums; if the big cities in the same setting.) Jut the war in Europe brought home j o us the fact that the Salvation i I \.rmy toucnes tne nves 01 us an. Just as the Salvation Army in its abors for mankind recognizes no1 ace, creed or color, so have the' ampaign workers been recruited rom among all classes ,all religions' nd all races. Serving actively on he various local committees are iusiness men, clergymen, men and /omen who have helped in the one! orm on another by the Salvation Lrmy, stage people, society people,! eachers m iacc mere is scarcely a usiness or calling which has not sevral representatives among those J yho will be active during Salvation. Irmy week. Among the most en-; husiastic dorkers are soldiers re-j ently returned from France who,; yhile over there, were aided and omforted by the practical, common! ense methods of the Salvation1 Lrmy. War workers who labored rith other organizations overseas .lso are helping in the Home Service' 'und. Fraternal organizations have prom-! sed active and substantial support.. ?he Elks particularly have become, nterested in the Salvation Army's ifforts to raise funds. Bruce Camp>ell, the grand'exalted ruler of the irder. has written to every one of he 1,800 lodges in the country in-;, tructing their members to serve the ocal committees in every way possi>le "even to the extent of accepting esponsibility for putting the local Inves through." We believe that the people of Ab*[ eville county will subscribe to the talvation Army fund. We know that here have been many calls for mon-, y from many sources and this ounty has not been backward about | iving its money. Especially is this rue of the citizens of Abbeville. If you feel hesitant about subcribing ask a returned overseas serice man aboui the Salvation Army nd its work in France. GERMANY AND THE LEAGUE. Much hue and cry is being raised j i Germany over th'e hard terms of fie Peace Treaty. The leaders proest that the terms of the document o not closely follow the principles ? lid down by the "Fourteen Points." j laximilian Harden, who usually eets tie right perspective or things realses that Germany is receiving justice rhen he says: "The peace conditions are not arder than I expected. They were npleasant to the greater part of he people. But could one have realY expected them otherwise? "The Germans have not given very onvincing mental guarantees durng the six months since the revoluion that they have changed their ystem: on the contrary, the nresent overnment and the press have used! he same methods of incitement, the] ame tricks of bluff as under the old ule of the petty nobility." A number of papers in this counry have raised the point that Ger-; nany has a real kick in being held o the terms of the peace treaty andj ,t the same time is excluded from, he League of Nations. It must be emembered that provision is made n the treaty whereby a nation can oin the league. Germany can take dvantage of this when she has caried out the provisions of the treaty lertaining to her. She must show lerself worthv of TnpmhprsVn'n .The Ulies have had enough of empty! (ledges and unfulfilled promises from j he Huns. Germany has many a long, hard nile to travel before she is ready or admission to the league. When he time comes and she :s ready here will be no trouble about her oining. VISITS COLUMBIA. Prof. Edgar Long of the depart nent of English at Erskine College, )ue West, was in Columbia a few lours yesterday en route to his home xpi*- Blenheim, -Marlborq'-; County, vhere he made an educational address Friday night.

CHINESE BUSINESS WARNS MEDDLERS China's great commercial associations have jointly served notice on the world that they will initiate a UnTT/inU aoainaf artrr n a finn OflvlTlIT UVJVVWK a5uui4.1v/ I.V.V.W.. 0 o assistance to either of the two factions threatening the stability of the Chinese Republic. There is no mistaking, the attitude of China's business men. They pos.'j* sess a tremendous strength through their associations or guilds uniting those in the*different lines of business. A little more than a decade agcf this was thrown disastrously against American trade. Seeing that the struggle between the North and the South is only leading to the downfall of China as a nation and that both factions will come to agreement if outside forces do not interfere to make a continuance of the strife possible, the Chinese business organizations have warned the rowan tnat meaaang oy any one 01 them means economic retaliation which could wreck such a country's trade in China. That Japan is directly aimed at in this move was not concealed. Chinese business cannot be deceived; and the action of China's commercial organizations shows how far national consciousness has developed. The pressure from the Powers is making China into a united nation. In this, Japan has had a large share since 1914, though this has been the very opposite of her intentions and her treacheries during the Great War. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
