The Joy o Greenville News. j "We are pleased to note the fact: that some of the young folks of Pickens enjoy long walks," says The! Pickens Sentinel. "Nothing is morej health-giving or invigorating than i a three or four mile walk. This is { what will bring brightness to the dull eyes and roses to the faded cheeks. Instead of a ride, a long tramps up 'The Black Snake' road, to 'Old Glassy' or some other beautiful points in the country would be more beneficial." If more of the young people of Pickens and of Greenville and other places would take this advice of The Sentinel they would be better off. Likewise, if the older people would discard their limousines for limobiles and take an hour's stroll every) day they would get rid of dyspepsia, | obesity and other ills they contract because they are too lazy to walk. Leg exersise is a thousand times more efficacious than quack medicine. Walking is one of the joys of life, and particularly when one walks in the woods and mountains at this season of the year. What could have sur AMERICA VS. EUROPE. Republican Foreign Policy As Stated By Secretary Hughes. Secretary of State Hughes in his speech at Boston la9t Monday on he-; half of Senator Lodge took occasion to make clear the attitude of Ameri? ca toward European problems. These were the high points: We favor and always have favored an international court of justice for: the determination according to judi-| cial standards of justifiable international disputes. I believe suitable ar-; rangements can be made for the par-i ticipation by this government in the! election of judges of the international court which has been set up. The fundamental and pressing problems of Europe are political problems. * * * Each nation is its own judge in such matters of policy and * * * will follow its own interest save as some special exigency may control. The reason that the main problems of Europe cannot be solved save as Europe helps herself lies in the fact, that each major difficulty centres in the self-determination action of the independent states and is beyond external control. The great powers have not been able to agree as to questions which, being distinctly European questions, directly concern them. r Ul Ud unci aaiiuuai v?wyviuv?vu i does not mean that we shall embroil ourselves in controversies not involving our interests but growing out of the age-long rivalries and conflicting interests of European powers having policies which we do not assume to share. There is no reason why we should fritter away our helpful influence by becoming a partisan of either party to such controversies, muchj less make the fatal mistake of attempting to assume the role of dictator. A host of productive undertaking in Europe have turned to America for help and have not been denied, j The help needed has been a credit. As we are not at war with Turkey, i we are not appropriate parties to the peace negotations which are about to i take place. While we have American interests to protect, these are not associated with the political ambitions j of European powers which have made j the Near East a checkerboard for j diplomatic play. We do not propose! to connect ourselves with these rival- j i ries. ?Q tfw On The Job. A well dressed neddler cautiously! i made his way into the manager's' office, and coughed to call attention j to himself. "Well!" said the manager, "what do you want?*' "I am introducing," the peddler began, "an automatic electric hair"U "U 99 UI US1I "Can't you see I'm bald?" growled; I the manager. "Your wife, perhaps?" "She's bald, too, except when she's dressed up." "Perhaps your son, sir?" "He's one month old and quite bald." "Quite so." said the peddler. "Have you a dog?" "Yes. a Chinese hairless poodle." The peddler dived into another j pocket. "Allow me" he said, "to show you! the latest thing in flypaper." Mrs. Fannie Hazlett, of Nevada,! age ?

Now that earth is all in ''splendor dressed" and the "deep delicious day dreams its happy life away" one misses much who dosen't turn from the drudgery or arouse from luxury to get out among God's fields and streams. Was ever a day more conspiring to turn one into the open than that which ended last evening with the blazing sunset. And yet we imagine the human beings who answered the call were less than one half of one percent of those who could have done so. Wail ing is no logger j>.c;.rdeo as n pk*sure by the masses?it i9 hard work. Walking needs a press agent. It needs to come back into vogue. For just as the Giver of gifts gave us two legs, he intended that we use them. It is entirely unnatural to cramp them under tables and desks all day and in motor cars or street cars when we go places. Walking is a healthgiver, as The Sentinel says, and the walkeb not only has bright eyes and rosy cheeks but he sees a lot of things the man who rides dosen't see. PROUD OF WILLIAM Princes Hermine Says She Had Hard Time Winning Der Kaiser. Princess Hermine of Reuss thinks her fiance, the former German kaiser, is one of the most generous, kind hearted men that ever lived, and she is sure she is going to be the happiest woman in the world after their marriage next Sunday. That, at least, is what she told the correspondent of the London Dailv Exnress recently. "I know I love the kaiser," she said, "surely he is not 90 rich that it can be said that I am marrying him for his money." The princess said a lot of other women were anxious for the heart of the former German emperor and described how mad some of them were with envy and jealousy when her engagement to William was noised around the world by telegraph and cable. "They did their best to hinder our engagement by intrigue," she said. "I had a hard fight. All of my friends jand socalled friends had their own , places. You know, several prominent women including the widow of Col. Von Rochow thought of marrying the kaiser." I In her most charming manner the princess conversed with the correspondent at the old Silesian castle which is her ancestral home. She told him a little about the romance and of her plans for the future. "It was like this," she said. "Some friends, who were in attendance to the kaiser and who knew of our childhood attachment, invited me to his home at Doom. The crown price came to Doom also and in the friendliest sort of way he chatted with me about the affair of the heart. With a laugh he said: 'You know my father is a very .good man, but sometimes he is hard to get along with.' "A few weeks later the crown prince came to talk to me again. He said: 'Now I have watched you all this time, and I feel it my duty to tell you my warnings were all wrong. You surely know how to manage people and the whole situation here.' " The princess told the correspondent that the house at Doom was being conducted along very economical lines. Indeed, she explained, the meals set upon the former emperor's table were occasionally so scanty that they almost looked beg-arlv. Nevertheless the princess declared she would adhere to the strict principles of economy which have been in force since the former kaiser took up his residence in Holland. Isn't It Funny?

Mrs. Curler?"What did you catch him doing?" \ AGED NEGRO DEAD I "Aunt" Maria Williams Was Grand-' | daughter oi African Chieftain. A life filled with incident andj teeming with interest was brought j to a close here last week with the! death of "Aunt" .Maria Williams,! negro mammy of the old school and; grand-daughter of an African chief-j tain, who died in a cozy home provid-; ed by her mistress, Mrs. Robt. Wil-i liams, at the age of 95 years, says! the Greenville News. At the time of! her death five generations of herj family were living, her eldest child | being about 75 years of age. The grandfather of "Aunt" Maria was imnorted on a slave-shiD to -Massachusetts with rings in his nose and marks on his body that distinguished him as chief of his tribe in the Dark Continent, it is told. Although' facts along this period are lacking, it! is understood from a good authority j that the chieftain was captured by I the enemy in battle and sold to the i slave traders on the African coast. Brought to the northern port, Cur-| tis Atwood, the grandfather of Airs, i Williams, bought the slave on the! auction block there and brought him; to his southern plantation. After he had taken a wife to his cabin, the! negroes were kept by the Atwood1 family and the descendants of the slave passed down to the younger, generations of the Atwood family. Having been grown during the war j between the states and a slave, Aunt1 Maria took an active part in keeping; up the home while the "menfolks"j were on the firing line and had an; ^Ymnr ns R ; V ? fir' > 'Mo. 2 5qL?im?& IP*?"

Mr. Bok smiled: "A sight-seeing automobile," he went on, "was trundling through the streets of Boston. The man with the megaphfone was about to put the instrument to his lips when a woman in a very short skirt twitched his coat tail and said impatiently: " 'Say, guide, let up on that heavy stuff. We've all heard a lot about the splendid Oliver Wendell Holmes of Boston. Can't you show us inside a few of them for a change?' "?Boston Globe. | W02 arc HDAV,N0V.)3tb SAL ENTZ & F as?*""" Whatl* .
