IlOJII \ S KII Servia Ih a kingdom or the Halkan I'eniUHUla, sepa rated troni Austria Hungary by "the beautiful blue Dan ni)'1, ti is a compact area or moun tainous t< rritory. Servia is essentially un agricultur al country, the principal ? ropy being wheat, maize and uthor cereals and grapes tor wiu< The exports arc about $20.000,000 and Hie Imports about $1.1,000,000 u year. Brandy (hlovovit/.aJ is made from Llie plums. The country is naturally rich in minerals, coal, lignite, lead, silver, copper and antimony, being mined to Home extent. The railroad mileage is limited, only alunit 000 miles, princi pally ulong the Morava valley, the main line trom Vienna to Constantino pie. The religion is Greek Catholic. Bd ? ucatlon does noi reach a very high standard, ulthough there Is a school in every commune and a university at llelgrade. The legislative power Is vested in (lie king, ami the skupshunc, consist ing of Kin deputies. There is u senate or advisory council, of lo members. The inhabitants of Servia, or Serbs, came from the Carpathian mountains, and for several centuries were but scattered bands. In 1100 the kingdom became of consequences, but later lap sed into principalities and about 1400 the country was overrun by the Turks. In 1718, through the victories of I'riuce Eugene, Servia was ceded to Austria. However. Just 21 years ?ater the Turks again took possession of Servia. 1 ?? the Serbs hnrrnoned and an noyed beyond endurance began a suc cession of guerilla warfares, whlcn finally secured recognition for Ser vla at? Independent in 1820. However, there were continual uprisings and civil wars for many years until July 11, 100.1 I'eter Ceorgovllch was made king. In 1908 Ilosnla and other states in habited by Serbs were taken by Aus tria-Hungary. Servia demanded com pensation. This storm finally blew over. The Serbs were the steadfast fight ers in the recent Halkan war. The Ilulgars mudo a brilliant campaign, but tried to be too greedy and Ser via made a sturdy defense of her rights until "the powers" intervened. Bulgaria was crushed. Servia has at no time enjoyed for length reni peace. Austria Is one side and Bulgaria on the other, and tho nominile Turks. All have assailed Servia. The Serbs are supposed be,the original Slavonic tribes that have, ov errun nil of Knastern Europe. Austria gets its name from Ger man word meaning "eastern." The population of thin great empire is now nearly 50.000,000 -not so far be hind our own United States, while Servia's 4,00e\O00 is not much larger than the population of the two Caro linas. Three fourths of Austria is mountainous or hilly, traversed by the Alps and the Carpathians. The agri culture is excellent and tho mineral wealth Is unsurpassed in Europe. The orchards of Bohemia and Tyrol are world renowned. Tho religion is largely Roman Catholic, with about 5,000.000 Protestante and 2,100.000 Jews. The school system Is pattern ed nfter that of Germany and there are 11 unlverxltles. Military service is compulsory on ull capable of bearing arms. Term of service 12 years, of watch three must bo In the regular army. This is indeed an unequal con test us between the ltohemian and the Serb, but we look for ail iCurope to become embroiled unless the mutter Is arbitrated at once. HATS OFF TO II It HI SO A few days tho people of tbla sec tion were puzzled over the testimony o? Bon L. Dulony of Bristol, Tenn., to the. effect that the Southern Railway campany had in the past uecn guilty of tho sharp practices roiiowed by tho Now Haven rr * In the Associ ated Press dlspt :s tills morning wo give a eompl_-?. nml convincing denial from Prest. Fairrax Harrison Capt. John R. Anderson, superin tendent of tho Blue Ridge, has receiv ed a telegram/ from YYat>5::igtou con firming the Associato Presti dispatches and stating Unit Mr. Harrison denied the charges with every, fibre of HIb being and declared that >f Dulany had told the . truth he wou:d resign from the prealdeney of tne road. The oeople of tho south necci noth ing further than tho mere word of Fairfax Harrison, for the few months that ho has been the bone of this great railway system he Hud made a most wonderful impression upon the people of tho south and tuero are few men who have bo won and de served the respect and counaenco of the people. Mr. Harrison's statement about tho building of a coaling yard at Charles ton Is of Immense interest and of great moment to this section of the country. It means thut tho entering wedge has been started and that Char leston is to become a great port ia ilif? next few years, ami Hint all of the Inland South Carolina will also ben ? lit from this condii imi. furtnerniore, li means that if tin- Southern wishes to get a real direct coal line to Jo;. ?leo, Temi . over an easy grade, It will not forget Hie old lilue Rldgc and he proposed "eut-oH" rrom Ninety Six to Charleston, making ine short chI and easiest haul from the coal mines to any seaport. MAKE . EMI TO . Nearly all thinking men arc agreed that compulsory ttttcndaneci upon schools is the proper thing and in only point ..t issue is I lie manner of putting it int ? effect, ir no other good is accomplished by ;his cam paign this KUinim r, it will mi*kc the people Iliink. The people at heart are good. They may he trusted. Sometimes they are deceived by the mouthlngs of cam paigners, but common sense will some day point out the error. The people do not incline to the wrong, nor to the weak or wicked, but they prefer the substantial to I he cheap men and are not always deceived by claptrap. illiteracy does not necessarily mean Ignorance. We have Known men that could not read nor write that were well informed on broad public questions ? and yet. even these were narrow and partisan in pinches because they depended upon others for Information and were unable to read for themselves. Everybody realizes the handicap of I illiteracy and the value or education. For even the illiterate man Is willing for his children to he educated to heights above their own parent in or der that they may the better cope with tho world and its educated men lighting their way upward. Knowing how to rend and write is not being educated. Hut a man who can read and write may educate twmself In these days of many books and many papers. One writer says that 12 per cent of the men voting in th:s country cu^ neither read nor write. The same au thor rays that more than one In four of the white children of the south are not in school. Think or It. Twelve out of every hundred citizens In the United States cannot reac their bal lots. If they cannot read their ballots can they inform themselves in respect to the issues which the ballot repre sents? s Puhls men do not always feel free to express themselves, in campaigns because their ideas will no retailed in distorted manner to the uninform ed. For that reason ninny men suited for official station will not offer for office and cheap and undesirable men slip In. There Is no Immediato prospect of improvement in the percentage of children in schools, if It is reported cor rectly. The panacea for this evil, as for many others that confront ub. Is compulsory education. Compel the attendance of children upon school exercises. Tills is done by a number of states and by some great foreign governments, notably, Germuny, whose complex organization might long ago have disintegrated, but for tac edu cation of the peoplo. \ It may not be wire to Btari off with a slate wido form, in fact, it has Dcen our opinion that a local option plan is what is needed to fit the nuances of the state. We are willing so see It tried in Anderson county. Educate the children of the poor, ?tve them a start and In the years to come they will "make good" and will bless the state that aided them. -o HOW HA HE IS JUSTICE The rarest of all virtues is Justice. To be Just is well nigh beyond the ability of human beings. There 1b nothing that so flts these times as tho words of Kipling's poem "If." Shakespeare says that mercy drop peth as thp gentle rain from the heavens. It is an attribute to Cod himself and an earthly power shows itself most like Cod's "when mercy seasons Justice." And mercy in a broader sense means charity or kind ness or forgiveness. These are days when every nerve Is being strained by professional politicians ?o cause the peoplo to veer from standards of justice. And the great measure of Justice is the Golden Hule. Bc?ore we lose our equanimity, bcrore wo loso oui patience with those or a differ ent way of thinking, let us try to be just. With some men justice is a quality absolutely unknown *:n? uniioescuaed. Out because others arc uniust, nar row, vindictive, resentful anc .general ly hateful is all the more reason that men eiidowed with hlguer order of reason men bred to habits of thought and of gentleness and generosity should show their superiority and by their manliness and straightforward ness prove that they are Just. That is all the people want?justice. The peoplo are right at heart. Sometimes their minds are beclouded by the va porlngs of noxious political caldrons, but when the calm air of Justice clears their brains they aro prona to ?loriare their allegiance with the right. It la easy- to ho magnanimous, hut how hard It Js lo hv ?ulnnlnded. Wo make demands for ourselves that we would be ashamed <?! if we could hut seo them from utiother angle or per spective. There ; ? conditions today confronting the people that peculiar ly require a quality o? Jus;t:cc and an exhibition of patriotism, and perhaps suerifice. Of all virtues there is none so rare :is justice. Most men are merciful, many men are kind, hut how, few an; Just. It Is far easier :ovho gentle than to be Just. Fur gentleness :s r quality of the heart, justice is a trait of character. Most of us can llnd it in the heart to sorrow over the misfortune even of an enemy. How few o: us can do the closest friends th<- ?u;rnuaa to be to him truly Just. It lie fail, we pity him. Hut do we measure hi? failure Justly? May it not be that very failure might have been averted if he had been given a square deal, \ by the voi y ones who now offer him meny? Deep down in the human heart there lies the strong, inslsient demand for justice ? Justice to self. But strange anomaly, how seldom are we Just to any other soul. charleston to <?et terminal (Continued from Page One.) borrow money and President Finley] spent Iiis ?ime on the road to cut off expenses." Mr. Harrison road tovoral letters lie wrote to President Finley ut the time One told of borrowing $2.000.1)90 ?rom three Sow York hanks for three months at 10 per cent.

NEWBERRY MEETING WAS TIE AFFAIR ASPIRANTS FOR CONGRESS DRAW SMALL CROWD RECORD ATTACKED Dominick, Evans and Horton, Criticise ikon'a Adminur ta tion on Several Issues Special to The Intelligencer. Newberry, July 27? The campaign meeting for the candidates for cou grcas from the Third district was held in the court room today at 11 o'clock, about 250 voters being pres ent and a dozen ladies. County Chair man Keltt presided. The candidates were allowed forty minutes and every man spoke his alloted time. Aikeu Describes Issues. The ?rst speaker was Wyatt Alken of Abbeville, the present congressman. He Kaid Newberry county bad always been good to hiiii and he felt it Iiis duty to come before the democrats ?gain. )- happy result of the presi dential election of 1012 ..as due to the record made by the house of repre sentatives heroic tha;, of which he was a member; that he was proud that a speech of his own was selected by Uie national campaign committee to go into the presidential cumpaign look. Told that in the G2nd congress ho had stood by the democratic presi dent in all except one or two votes, in which ho thought he was bound to stand by the democratic, platform adopted at Ualtimore by the national convention, and went into a detailed defense of his vote agaimct the toll exemption law. Had been criticised for that vote, but did not regard it a party measure beyond its adoption by the convention; that the president and he are entirely friendly; (hat the dem. ocrats divided on this tolls question. Said he had done all he could for his district since he had been in congress. Today between 175 and 180 rural mail deliveries in bin district, 100 of which he had helped to put into operation; had worked and voted for the parcel post system and direct ouection of United States senators by the people. Did not believe his constituents could lay their bande on a mistake he has made. s Spent no idle time, but looked diligently after your Interests. Ho discussed at length the three import ant measures the present ndminlstra aion has carried through?the tralff. currency and antitrust measures, the last named being near completion. Mr. Alken mentioned the fact that he had Introduced a bill to give the peo ple a rural credit system?a law that will prove of much benefit: Dominici? Makes Charges. Fred H. Dominick gave a running account 'of his political record and said that the people of the county kn.ew him and that he is runniug solely on his merits. Told of his ser vices to the people of the county in the matter of refunding railroad bonds by which the debt was reduced thirty or forty thousand dollars. He said he docs not propose to be personal, but will go Into the records, which he pro. posed to take from the books. He read from the biographical records of con gressmen where Mr. Alken was put down as a farmer, whereas for 10 yeare he was court stenographer and the balance of the time member of congress, during which time he had received in salaries amounts aggre gating more than a hundred thousand dollars. He then asked whether Mr. Alken had given the people value re celved. Mr. Alkon, he said, had Introduced in congress 313 bills, 64 of which had passed. Had not been author of a ringle Important bill. Then attacked Mr. Aiken's rural credit system bill, aid Mr. Aiken had done nothing to relieve the offices In the District of Columbia from the negro incumbents; that he was ranking member of <the District of Columbia committee in the house, but had missed the chairman chip because ite had done nothing and did not attend tho meetings of commit tee and quoted Olile James to bear out his statement. Challenged Mr. Alkon to show where he had said or done one thing In behalt of Cotton mill op eratives or owners. Cited the -..fact that bo few mills in the Third district ' were paying dividends, 1 which he ( claimed was on account of the selling , interests and trusts, if elected would introduce bill to Investigate this.-sell ing of interest, and If these commis- ] olona could be reduced, better wages j would be paid to operatives and divi dende to the stockholders and botter ( prices for cotton to the farmer. ,. He criticised Mr. Alk'cn'a ? vot? ou ' the t Panama canal tolls exemption bill. , Declared himself a Wilson man; had ( made the motion in his ward to make ' the endorsement of Wilson (unanimous'. , Mr. Aiken voted against the presi- . dent's appeal dp th*s occasion, when } the. state convention had called' upon < our representatives to cast- their votes with the president?though, this was after Mr. Aiken had voted, he tolls you , if It were to be done over he would J vote the same way again.
