1>AST OF HOLY HOLLEH FLEET. Picturesque ship Wreck Ends Craft Used by Preachers at Panillco. A dispatch from Kingston, N. C., says- , Tao last unnamed "ship" of Hie tloct once owned hy tho "Holy Koll er J," a religious sect, on the Painlico Uiver, is to-day lying, completely oibniergod. on the bottom. The craft was one of a number of houseboat.: about 10 by 20 feel square, with a superstructure about S by 1". feel used by the Kollers' preachers in tourneying from point to point. Whole families lived aboard together with their dogs. cats, t'owis and some times a pig or two. The remainder Of Hie fleet disappeared years ago and the ono just sunk bas been out of commission since the Rollers ac quired a substantial country church or two, well back in the country from tho river. Once when the boat went ashore in a gale the most picturesque ship wreck In history occurred. All bands and the animals remained inside the bouse and there was a continuous re ligious service throughout the siege of the elements. With the return of calm weather the old bulk, "built on faith," was found not to have strain ed a timber. Mow to Cure ('olds. Avoid exposure and drafts.

Congressman Nicholl* Will Investi gate Motor Route Possibilities. (Spartanburg Herald, 18th.) The proposed establishment ot motor rural free mail deliveries itt Spar tan bur g county, supplanting the present delivery by horse and buggy, will bc personally investigated by Congressman Sain J. Nicholls during bis visit to this section in the uexl few days, according to a letter re ceived from him by a friend here yes terday. Mr. Nicholls bas voiced opposition to the establishment of the motor de liveries here and ls making efforts, it is understood here, to have the de partment reconsider its decision to establish motor routes. .Inst what the outcome of the situation will be, of course, is purely a matter o'* spec ulation, although tho civil service commission lias already announced examinations to bo held here to fill the positions which will be ojien when the routes are established. According to a letter received from Congressman Nicholls, ho will be at home during the holidays and will go over the motor rural route situation with the rural letter carriers of this district He will communicate with carriers and inform them of the date on which he ran meet and confer with them. While it is not fully understood here just what the postal department expects to do in regard to the opera tion of motor rural routes, it is evi dent that the plan is to be al least tried out here, and that Spartanburg will be the first county In the State in which the experiment is made According to recent reports issued by the postal department, a number of such motor routes have been es tablished In various parts of the country and appear to be very satis factory and to show an increased ef ficiency in mall deliveries. Would Readjust Routes. The standard rural free delivery mail toute is now 21 miles long, and carriers covering the distances a'e paid salaries of $1.20n per year. The standard motor route, however, is from r>0 to 54 miles, and the carrier is to be paid a salary of from $1,500 to $1,800 per annum, and will be re quired to furnish and maintain his own motor vehicle. The motor route, therefore would cover more ?han twice the territory now served by the standard route, and the department is of the opinion that the plan would give a better mai! sei vice to a larger number of rural patrons. While complete plans have not been announced, it is believed that the department eventually expects under this system to abolish the five rural free delivery routes now In operation from the Spartanburg post office and to substitute therefor four motor routes, read justing the former routes so that all the terri tory would be covered, and more in addition, at about the same salary expense.

DON'T LIKE AUSTRIAN NOTE. : American Note in Hep'} Will Insist un Something More Definite. I Washington, Dec. 18.-Tho official text of Austria's reply to the Ameri can note on the Ancona, made puhlie here to-day, reveals that the Vienna government denies that the views presented hy the United states, even if correct, warrant the blame for the disaster being placed upon the com mander of the submarine. The reply denies also that blame can be placed upon the Austro-Hun garlan government even if a "most rigorous legal construction were ap plied to the judgment of the case." The note also states that the Aus tro-l 1 ungarian government is unable lo determine what the United States intended to indicate when it men tioned the attitude which Germany bad assumed toward submarine war fare. lt adds that il the United States intended "to express an opin ion to the effect that a prejudice of whatever nature, existed" with re spect to "juridical consideration" of the affair, the Vienna government de clares that it reserves io itself "full freedom of maintaining its own legal view." Except for slight variation in trans lation thc remainder of the official text virtually is identical with the unofficial version, cabled from Lon don. lt was agreed seemingly in official quarters that the official text did not minimize a realization of the gravity of the situation which was impressed on officials by the unofficial cables, but it also was apparent that the door to further negotiations was not closed. The State Department also made public an official text of the Austrian admiralty's statement, previously published, which admitted that the submarine bred on the Ancona Bfter the ship had come to a stop and while passengers still were aboard In (dosing the note the representa tive of the Austro-Ilungarian govern ment takes occasion to say: "In having the honor to have re course to the kindness of his excel lency, the ambassador of the United States of America, with the most re spectful request to be good enough to communicate the foregoing to the American government, and on this occasion to state that the imperial and royal government is in no less de gree than the American government and under all circumstances must sincerely deplore the fate of the inno cent victims of the incident in ques tion the undersigned at the same lime avails himself on this opportu nity to renew the expressions of bis most distinguished consideration to his excellency, the ambassador." American Reply Karly. Washington, Dec. IS.-President Wilson began work to-day on the sec ond note to Austria on the sinking of the Ancona. Friendly relations between the United States and Austria, it was stated authoritatively, are near the breaking point, and their continuance I will depend entirely upon the reply ; Austria will he asked to make imme . diately. 1 Although the word ultimatum was not used by officials in discussing the note, it was indicated that the reply will state clearly the alternative which will follow if Austria's reply is unsatisfactory. Secretary Lansing sent to the White House early in the day a mem orandum outlining his views as to what the second American note should contain. The President im mediately began to work on drafting the note, which will be sent to Vien na within the next few days. Close study cf Austria's reply to the American note demands that there should be a disavowal of the act of the submarino commander in sinking the Ancona, Iiis punishment, reparation for American lives lost and assurances, that the incident would not be repeated, did nol relieve L c gravity with which officials viewed the situation. President Wilson, while on his wedding tour, will keep in constant touch with tho White House, and, If necessary. Secretary Lansing will go to see him to discuss the situation.
