(AILS FOK REMOVAL ! OF AUSTKA1N ENVOY: I HE QUE ST IS BASED ON STRIKE! SCHEMES. Penfield Instructed to Inform Vienna Authorities Ambassador's Secret ; Activities Improper Conduct. Washington, Sept. 9.?Ambassador! I Penfield at Vienna has been instructed ! by cable to inform the Austro-Hun-! garian government that Dr. Constan- j tin Dumba no longer is acceptable as j an envoy to the United States and to j -asked for his recall. Secretary Lansing formally an- j noimced the action tonight. It was j the answer of the American govern- j ment to Dr Dumba's explanation of his ! intercepted letter to Vienna outlining [ plans for handicapping American plants making war supplies for the allies. * ?* ? Amoassaaor jrenueiu was msu utitu by cable yesterday to deliver the following note to the foreign office: "Mr. .Constantin Dumba, the AustroHungarian ambassador at Washington, has admitted that he proposed to his I government plans to instigate strikes ; in American manufacturing plants engaged in the production of munitions of war. The information reached this government through a copy of a letter j of the ambassador to his government. ; The bearer was an American citizen named Archibald, who was traveling under an American passport. The ambassador has admitted that he employ Archibald to bear official dispatches from him to his government. "By reason of the admitted purpose and intention of Mr. Dumba to conspire to cripple legitimate industries of the people of the United States and to interrupt their legitimate trade, and "by reason of the flagrant violation of diplomatic propriety in employing an lAmerican citizen protected by an American passport as a secret bearer ofi official dispatches through the lines of the enemy of Austria-Hungary, the president directs me to inform your excellency that Mr. Dumba is no longer acceptable to the government of the United States as the ambassador of his imperial majesty at 'Washington. "Believing that the imperial and royal government wil realize that the government of the United States has no alternative but to request'the recall of Mr. Dumba on account of his improper conuuci me goveruuitriu ui the United States expresses its deep regret that this course has become necessary and assures the imperial and royal government that it sincerely desires to continue the cordial and friendly relation which exist between the United States and AustriaHungary." In making his announcement Secretary Lansing explained that it had "hf?pr> /lolavprt that tha nrvtp miffht reach Vienna before its publication in this country. Ambassador Penfield had not "been heard from tonight, but it was assumed that he received the communication today. Sensation In Capital. News that Dr. Dumba's recall had Deea requesiea created a senauon 1x1 the capital. It had been known in official and diplomatic circles that President Wilson and Secretary Lansing Tegarded the conduct of the ambassador as a grave breach of propriety, but there had been a well defined impression that the only immediate step vould be the cancellation, announced today, of the passport of James F. J. Archibald, the American, who carried the intercepted dispatches. Dr. Dumba left yesterday for the summer embassy at Lenox, IMiss., to await word as4o whether the administration was not satisfied with his explanation to Mr. Lansing Tuesday. He had come to Washington on his own .initiative alter news or lArcniDaia s aetention and extracts of his dispatch to Vienna had been published in this country. No statement was made either by the ambassador or Secretary Lansing concerning their conference, though it was learned later that Dr. Dumba frankly admitted having employed Archibald as a messenger and "his plans to withdraw Austro-Hunga:rian labor and handicap American plants making war munitions for the allies. Dumba Exnkiins His Activities. Washington, Sept 7,?Dr. Constants Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador, laid before Secretary Lanjsrag todaiy an explanation of a letter bitten 'by him to the Vienna foreign office discussing plans for withdrawing Austro-Hangarian labor from American plants making war supplies for Great Britain and her allies. Neither the ambassador nor IMr. Lansing would comment upon the interview when it was over. The impression prevailed in official quarters, however, that the secretary would submit the matter to President Wilson, with whom will rest the deeision as to whether the explanation was satis factory. a he text oi Mr. Duuba's letter, recently seized by British authorities from its bearer, James F. J. Archibald, an American, was cabled to the state department early today by Ambassador Page at London and had been the sub ject of a conference between the president and Secretary Lansing before the ambassador reached the department. It is understood that the use of an American passport to shield the messenger who carried not only the Dumba letter, but dispatches from the -German embassy and other documents, was regarded by them as quite as serious a matter as the activities revealed by the letter itself. Mr. Lansing's only statement on the subject was a negative response when 1- ~ J />. 4- mr ffonn o A itStvCU W IIClllCJ. anj utiu uttu taken toward bringing the situation to the attention of the Austro-Hungarian foreign office. There has been no suggestion here that the ambassador had violated American law, and apparently the only question is whether the administration will regard his acts as breaches of diplomatic propriety. Dr. Dumba himself asked for the conference with Mr. Lansing, after the announcement of Archibald's detention and publication in this country of extracts from his letter. Attention, Girls! W. F. Caldwell in News and Courier. Four of the officials of the State government are "bachelors," and as such attract more than the usual amount of. interest when they are called to 'various parts of the State on official or private business. All of them are well Irnnwn vi* Pnrrmfrnllpr fiprieral f!arl ton W. Sawyer. Attorney General Thos. H. Peeples, Assastant iAttorney General Fred H. Dominick and Lieutenant Governor Andrew J. Bethea. Although all of them are popular with the fair sex, there has been no intimation as to which of the quartette contemplate being the first to break into double harness, that is, if any such step has entered into their calculations. All four are young men with promise of promotion* before them. The comptroller general is a native of Orangeburg, but spent the greater part of his boyhood and all of his manhood in Columbia. The attorney general is a* native of Blackville and the assistant attorney general comes from Newberry. The lieutenant governor is a native of Dillon county, but has been living in Columbia ever since he first became private secretary to Governor Ansel. In this connection it is known that Mr. Dominick will run for congress next summer against Congressman wyatt Aiken in the Third district. Work Day Saturday, September 25. There are nearly 1,000 orphan children in the church orphanages of the State, 1300 .at Thorn well Orphanage (Presbyterian), Clinton, S. C.; 250 at Connie Maxwell (Baptist), Greenwood, S. C.; 240 at Epworth Orphanage (Methodist), Columbia, S. C.; 122 at the Church home (Episcopal), Yorkville, S. C. The daily bread for all these chil dren comes from the gifts of the people. They have nothing except what is given them. These children are being trained to make useful, healthy, intelligent citizens, and many boys and girls reared in these orphanages are succeeding in life. All these institutions are crowded and their needs are pressing. By appointment, Saturday, Sept. 25. has been designated at "Labor day" and all who are interested in orphan children are asked to give to one of these orphanages what they earn on Saturday, Sept. 25. Let all who will earn some money that-daiy?the busy man at his desk, the merchant and the farmer, housewives and school children, all wageearners?everybody; let all make a gift, large or small, that day to one of the orphanages named below. This has been a hard year for all these institutions and a gift, some large, some small, from everybody, is sorely needed just now. The Thornwell Orphanage, Dr. W. P. Jacobs, president, Clinton.

The Southern Railway company has adopted a new and attractive trade mark as shown above. The design "SR" is symbolical to the name of the J ! road and the wording "The Southern j | Serves the South" is suggestive of the j ! many lines operated by the Southern J Railway throughout all of the States! south of the Ohio and Potomac and | east of the Mississippi rivers. ilhere is hardly a City or town of importance throughout the entire South that is not connected with the balance | of the South, either directly by the i Southern railway's own trains or by J sleeping car lines over roads in conI nection with Southern railway, via some adjacent junction point. On this account the title "The Southern Serves the South" was adopted as being appropriate. Southern railway spends about $200,000 a year in advertising and a great | deal of this advertising is done in the} ! Northern, Eastern and Western se_-1 1 tions of the country, so as to attrac* j pe6ple into the South, and on all of this advertising matter this trade mark will appear hereafter. AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLES. Green?ville Piedmont. The Piedmont has received a letter which shows that the State superintendent of education and itself are in entire agreement in principles, though there may be some minor differences in methods, in relation to the- mill schools. O "V<r? . "T V.^r^ 4-r% Oilj'S JULi owcanugcu. x Livjyr; w. see the time come when corporation schools will be a thing of the past. The movement in this direction has already set in." In this hope we concur, and are convinced that after careful consideration the officials of the corporations will come to the same conclusion. The way to secure the interest of the residents of the mill vil/ lages in the education of their children and in the success of the schools is to give them an interest in the management of these schools. The law'now gives them a right to this, and it should be complied with. The superintendent says further: "The policy of the State department of education in its campaign to improve mill schools includes: 1. Adequate school ground and buildings, owned by local school au- ' thorities. 2. A local school tax in every district, to be voted by the residents and patrons. 3. At least one teacher for every fifty pupils. 4 An adequate graduation and classification covering at least ten years of work. 5. A minimum salary of $50 per month for each instructor. 6. Professional supervision by competent principals and superintendents : elected by the public school trustees, and responsible to county and State school officers rather than to corporations. 7. The co-operation of mill presidents, superintendents and owners, in developing community spirit, home < pride, efficientl citizenship and general intelligence. , 8. Participation by mill schools in State aid, just as rural graded schools and high schools now participate. 9. The creation and cultivation of a contented, nome-uwnmg, nume-ioviug, efficient manhood and womanhood." In these principles, so clearly and , ably stated, we are in entire accord. The ninth is the sequel to the preceding eight. We hope to see employes of mills "home-owning and home-loving" citizens. When they have become so, we shall have "efficient manhood! and womanhood." There is "no place < like home" to develop character ana < independence, and likewise efficiency. I ?i i 1 x ^ o i almost tx atrnuus atojucui. On Monday afternoon of#Iast week, while Dr. C. K. Epting and Miss Anna Ficken were out horseback riding near ] Mr. Berlie Bedenbaugh's, Miss Ficken'? horse became frightened and she was thrown to the hard ground. She wa5? painfully hurt about the face, but it 1 proved not to be serious. She escaped J serious injury by having presence of mind to get out of the way of the gal- 1 loping horse of Dr. Epting. Miss Ficken was carried to the residence of Mr. Berlie Bedenbaugh, where 1 immediate assistance was given. She ' is doing nicely now.

The children need and deserve help, but the State should see that fathers do their duty by their children. Our boys and girls are not only given a good literary education, but are taught some trade and are enabled to take care of themsel.es when they leave us. The support of all these fatherless and motherless children depends upon the Christian public. Of course, the aypeai jur me in is uiaue principal.y io Presbyterians, but as children are received from all denominations or without respect to the parents, aid from any and everybody is appreciated. The plan of Orphan Work day is to interest young and old to help us by their labors.

From this steeple ring out ever and i anon the chime of its famous bells.
