Thursday, Dec. 3, 1914
Governor-elect .Manning is quoted
as saying that there will he no race
> track gambling after the new administration
goes into office. That
sounds good. It has been a long
time since we have heard such things
v uttered in South Carolina by the
head of the administration. Especially
in view of the fact that preparations
are being made for the usual
racing in Charleston, so it is said.
Four years .ago while riding on a
circus train between Columbia and
Augusta, Paul Williams, a young
man from Columbia, was foully slain,
robbed and his body thrown from the
moving train. His friend and companion
on the trip. John C. Week ley.
' escaped a like treatment by hiding
among the wagons on the car. George
Nichols, of Cairo, 11!.. a ruffian, and
a giant negro employee of the circus
were convicted of the murder by a
sober jury in Lexington. They were
saved from death sentence only by
recommendation to mercy. After
serving less than four years, the gov
ernor of South Carolina annulled the
mandate of the court by freeing
Nichols front the penitentiary. That's
the governor's method of returning
thanks! . _
.The chief commodity a newspaper
has for sale is its space. Yet a news,
paper is more often called upon to
give of its commodity than any other
industry in existence. Take, for instance,
the matter of helping the farmer.
Of course, helping the farmer
is a favorite topic with those seeking
notoriety, politicians aud a few
others. They make a big noise every
time they offer a motion in some
so-cal:ed cotton meeting to "help the
farmer." Well, perhaps that is all
good and well. We hope so anyway.
But, to revert to the subject. The
newspapers of the country have given
after column. Dase after
"
page, to making public every plan
conceived to benefit the farmer. This
space, had it been paad for. would
have been worth, we will venture to
estimate, more than the value of all
cotton bought at ten cents a pound.
And the newspapers did not make
any noise. This is saying a whole
lot to get at the core of the thing,
and that is if tlie readers of newspapers
appreciate what the newspaper^
have done, always do. and always
will do for them, they should
not rank the newspaper last in paying
their debts. And when you get
tired of your paper, don't go to the
postoffice and refuse to take it out
to escape paying a just debt. Do
your paper the courtesy of writing,
and asking that it be discontinued,
and be sure to pay up before doing
so.
Love Laughs.
"Darling," he cried, "I swear by
this grand tree whose spreading
branches shade us from the heat?by
this noble tree I swear that I have
never loved before."
The girl smiled faintly. "You always
say such appropriate things,
Dick," she murmured. "This is a
chestnut tree."?Top-Notch.
The 10-year-old son of Abrani
Aiken was killed Tuesday morning bv
coming into contact with a live wire
at Summerville, the wire having fal
len to the ground.
The noted Order of the Golden
Fleece is a military one instituted by
Philip the Good. Duke of Burgundy,
in 1429, on the occasion of his marriage
with the Portuguese Princess
Isabella. The order now belongs to
both Spain and Austria.

London, Dee. 1.?The battle in B

on one side, and the Russian
nperor. on the other. These two
onarciis left for the front today,
i that virtually the heads of all the
itions at war are with their troops.
The king of England is in France;
e king of Belgium, as usual, is
lending all his time with his solers,
while President Poincare. of
ranee, started today for another
sit to the northern battlefield.
Official news from Poland contin!S
scanty, and. with both headqnarrs
claiming successes, it is impossie
to say how the battle is going,
r its. intensity, however, there can
i no doubt.
The Germans, when they started j
r Warsaw, dashed full tilt into a!
ass of Russian troops and forced j
eir way so far in that the Russians j
Dsed on them. This was taken in!
itrograd to mean that some of the j
?rman divisions had been cut off |
id that their surrender or annihila-i
I
in was inevitable.
Russian Line Rroken.
It appears, however, that, fighting
r their very lives and in the knowl-j
ge that a great defeat would end
e German offensive and compel
em to fall back oil their own fronts,
the German troops broke
rough the Russian lines at one'
ace and at another are holding
trenchments against all the Rus-'
in attacks. Their flanks still are
ing harassed by the Cossacks, but
emingly the Russians are not in a
isition to gain the sweeping victory;
ev had anticipated.
The losses, with the desperate I
fitting that has been going on for I
fortnight, must necessarily be very I
savy on both sides. H
Against the Austro-German forces I
the south the Russians continue E
gain more decisive re.sults. They I
tw hold all Austrian positions pro- I
cting the Carpathian passes and I
e said to have arrived abreast of I
acaw. while their captures for I
ree weeks number fifty thousand E
en. ;
Lively Cannonade. i
In the west, although the German
ficial report says there is nothing
communicate, the French official
itement notes a lively cannonade
Belgium and German activity'
?rth of Arras. This may mean the
irmans have commenced, or are
out to commence, another attempt
get through to the French ports.

Military men here disagree^ some I

nt with holding their positions un- I
the close of the battle in Poland, I
lere they need all the men they

resumption of the battle in

The Germans, too. according to
itch reports, are strongly fortify-,

irts against a renewal of attacks
