C., NOVEMBER 5, 1914 NJ(31 Well-Known Citizen Passes to the Beyond In the midst of life we are in death-a Bible tiuism. Death! -a debt we all, sooner or later, shalf Pe called on to pay. "B ye also ready" for ye know .not when the summons shall come. L. R. Dalton, known far and wide over this county, and the upper Piedmont section to many people, and spoken of affection ately, by his many friends, as "Rex" Dalton, is today, no more in the flesh, the spirit of this good man is basking in the sunlight of his Lord whom he loved to serye, and his memory wiH linger long with those who knew him best and loved him well. The deceased was 68 years old and a native of Greenville county, being born near Grove Station, where he was raised and lived until 1880, when he moved to this county and settled in the Mile Creek section and resided until his death. In early life he was united in mar riage to Miss Janie Bowen, and of this- happy union he leaves children-five sons and four daughters-as f ( I 10 w s: Mrs. Thompkins, Mrs. Bolding, Mrs. Chapman and Miss Bessie Dalton, and Messrs. S. B., Charley, Clarence, Will and Robert Dalton, all of whom are residing in the county. and were with their father in his last illness. Mr. Dalton's death was caused from pneumonia, after a short illness, and after all that medi cal skill and loving hands could do to alleviate his suffering. He was buried the day follow ing his death at Mile Creek church, of which he was a member, with Masonic honors, the funeral service being con ducted at the grave by Rev. Fulton Childress, in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. Mr. Dalton was a man of very generous impulses and never forgot the ways of the pioneer. The stranger never failed to-find food and shelter if he sought it at his hands, and he was at home by the bedside of the sick and delighted in all kind and neikhborly offices. He had borne adversity brave ly aird enjoyed prosperity quiet iy. He had filled the various relations of life, as son, husband, father, brother, friend, and filled them well. Who can do more? .But he isgone! Another name is stricken froy the ever-lessen ing roll of o ~ "4ers, and a lonely and so~n. left tender human ti& . v ered without a ooin such a death as . tfiere is really no cause for grief. His lifework was done, and well done. He had neared his allot ted time and, wearied with life's duties and cares, weary of suf fering and care, he lay down to rest. How much this community owes him, and such as he, it is impossible to estimate, though it would be a grateful task to trace his influence through some of the more direct channels,to hold him '.up in his various characters of husband and father, of neigh bor and friend, to speak of the sons and daughters he has reared to perpetuate his name and em ulate his virtues. But it comes not in the scdpe of this brief ar ticle to do so. Suffice it to say, he lived nobly and died peace fully at the age of 68 years. The .stern Reaper found him, "as a shock of corn, fully ripe for the harvest." Not for him be our tears! Rather let us crown his grave with garlands; few of us may live as long-or as well and fewer yet will the Angel of Death greet with such a loving touch. So mote it be. Amen' Little Alvis Crawford On the 24th day of September the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Crawford of Six Mile and claimed for its victim Alvis,their thirty months old daughter. Her little'body was laid to rest the day follow ing her death in the Six Mile cemetery, the funeral being con ducted by Rev. B. C. Atkinson. We extend our heartfelt sym :pathy to the heartbroken father and mother in their hour of sor row and ask them to continue to look to the great giver of all good gifts. Dear Alvis from us has gone Unto her long. eternal home: Her smiling face we'll see no more Until we reach that shining shore: * Here many friends are seated 'round Awaiting for God's trumpet sound. That we may rise and soar away And meet dear Alvis on that day. ** Messrs. J. W.

C.. going by way of Whitewater and returning by' way of the With The Solons In Extra Session Columbia, Oct. 30.-Former United States Senator John Lowndes McLaurin, now serv ing as s-nator from Marlboro, was tonight elected warehouse commissioner. It was an en tirely unexpected turn but if anyone deserved the place it was Senator McLaurin, who has for years fought for a state warehouse bill. The whole thing started in the joint assem bly when Representative Cloud Sapp nominated Senator Mc Laurin for the position and said the nomination was made en tirely without the knowledge of Mr. McLaurin, but he wished to see the warehouse law a success and felt no one better fitted for the honor in view of his fight for the bill and his abilities. Senatoi McLaurin had pre viously seconded the nomina tion of Mr. Jas. A. Drake, of Marlboro, and when his name was sprung he stated that he was committed to the sup port of Mr. Drake and ex pected to vote and work for' him. In a moment a confer ence was held and Mr. Drake volunteered to withdraw and Mr McQueen withdrew the name of Mr. Drake. The vote resulted: Total vote cast 108, necessary to elect 55, John L. McLaurin, 55; R. I. McDavid, 24; PhillipA. Hodges, 28. The result brought applause and congratulations for Senator McLaurin, the real "'daddy" of the warehouse measure. The position carries a salary of three thousand dollars and expenses. Mr. McLaurin was in no sense a candidate for the position. Mr. Cecil Wyche suggested the name of Gov. Blease but withdrew it when Senator Mc Laurin's name was presented. Governor Blease this p. m. signed the cottory ge reduc tion bill and se"' lie secre tary of state. Js in a law and allows third for cultivable land uted in cotton next year,-- .scess' to be punishable by .fine of from $25 to $100 per acre levied as a lien on the cotton crop and collected by judgments just as other judgments are collectible. The Senate this p. m. over rode the veto on the bill putting charter fees for cotton ware houses under the general law.' The free conference rePort on the McLaurin state warehouse bill was agreed to by both houses this morning and ordered en rolled for ratification. The senate killed the bill pro viding for purchasing grain and. advancing it to farmers, and the . house killed the Summers bill for a stay law. Both bodies present a wearied appearance this morning after the longr drawn out filibuster on the bond bill, which wvent well into the wee hours. No report has as yet been re ceived from the governor on the bond bill. Under the law he can hold it three days if he so desires. Consideration of the Lawson joint resolution seeking to close all dispensaries of the State un til the restoration of peace in Europe was denied by the senate. The governor vetoed twelve small items in the emergency appropriation bill and the house over-rode each veto. After a strenuous effort to de lay action, the bill calling for an election on the issuance of $24, 00,000 in bonds to provide for loaning money on cotton was ratified by the house early this morning. The measure now lacks only the signature of the governor to become a law. What he will do with it is not nown. The bill calls for an election at the same time as the general election. Nov. 3. The bill was ratified by the house and senate in joint session. Read The Trey 0' Hearts We are publishing in this ssue the first installment of our ew story.

Hamilton of Easley was TURKEY FINALLY ENTERS INTO WAR Italy, Greece And Balkan States Are Now Expected To Be Entangled In The Hostilities CHRISTIANS ARE IN DANGER! Grave Fears Are Felt For Safety Of Christians in Turkey-Massacre Is Threatened The war situation in Europe has de veloped a number of new difficultiese within the past week. Turkey has entered into the great game and made her introduction into hostilities by shelling two Russian towns. The bat tle along the Yser between the allied armies and the Germans has sunk Into a lull due to the fact that the sol diers of both opposing armies a: e ex hausted after days of constant fight ing. Much concern is being felt in this country over the entrance of Turkey into the European war. It is gener ally believed by the war department officials of this country that Turkey's warlike attitude will ultimately mean that Greece, Italy and the Balkan States will be drawn into the conflict. A very grave danger is said to be facing the Christians in the Ottoman empire. According to the latest re ports from Turkey the people are stir red with a hatred for the Christians within their borders and an uprising and massacre is greatly feared. This will place the United States in a deli cate position, for there are thousands of Americans in Turkey who must be rescued. It is the unanimous belief of the al lied powers that Germany was the guiding hand in the hostile moye made by Turkey. The leading newspapers of London predict that this will mean the complete overthrow of the Turk is hempire and that when the war is ended Turkey, as a government, will be no more. Italy is expected to take a prominent part in the subduing of the Turks, while Greece, it is believed, will not lose another opportunity to crush her oldtime enemy. - - In East Prussia and Russian Poland the Germans are not faring so well in their campaign aginst the Russians. Dispatches from Berlin admit that the German armies were forced to retire from before Warsaw.' The Russian ad vices say that the retreat of the Ger mans is in the form of a riot and the Russian arms are inflicting heavy losses upon the fleeing Germans. The second uprising in British South Africa, which was led 'by General Christian DeWett and General Chris tian Frederick Beyers, promised for a time to be more serious than the first, but that at the present time it had been greatly subdued. Premier Bo tha, the British leader in South Af rica, issued a proclamation calling pon the people of the Union to as sist the government to suppress any revolt that may arise against the moth r country. Failure, for the time at least, re sulted in the attempts of the Ger mans to secure command of the sea ports along the coast of France. In he event that the kaiser determined pon anassault on England, the pos session of the seaports along the rench coast, together with the com nand of the Antwerp, Ostend and the Belgian coast, would prove invalua le. The fighting In the region of the sea oast has been the most severe since he Germans invaded Belgium. Day after day the Germans have urled great masses of troops against the lines of the allied armies but each time they were repulsd. It is said by military experts that the very safe y of England depends upon the abil ity of the allied armies to hold the ermans in check and defeat their ef orts to gain command of the sea oast. When the armies of the kaiser push- [ d onward towards the coast of Bel lum and began fighting their way n the direction of the French coast, the lines of the allies were quickly shifted. The left wing of the allied armies in France was extended until t reached to the sea. It was then hat the British fleet played such an mportant part in the struggle against! the Germans. The fire was so ter:-if c that the Germans were compelled o withdraw further inland. German Bombs Kill Women London.-Two German aeroplanes ropped two bombs at Bethune,' rance, according to the correspond ants of the Daily Mail. The first failed* o explode, but the second, which fell ~mong market women, killed nineteen f them, and Injured forty others. Two ombs were also dropped at Dunkirk, m the same day from a Taube ma hIne, 9,000 feet up In the air. A wom n and child were killed and all the windows In the neighborhood were mashed. The women of the town re terrified. American Property Damaged Washington.-Acting Secretary Lan sing announced receipt of a telegram ~rom the American charge d'affaires t Petrograd saying Odessa has been ombarded and American property de troyed. The dispatch from Charge ~Vlson transmitted a message from the kmerican consul at Odessa, who said e would send a fuller report later, on ie extent of American property damn ged. He did not say by whom'the bom bardment was done, but It is presum id here that it was by Turkish ships.

"On our left wing the enemy has di rected violent attacks against the front of the British troops and on the two banks of the La Bassee canal with out any success. "There has been a recrudescence of activity in 4ete region of Rheims and along the Zjfhts 'of the Meuse at the south of Fresnes-on-Woevre." Paris.-The French official :an nouncement given out in Paris says that the forces of the enemy which had passed the River Yser have been compelled to withdraw by reason of inundations of the low country brought about by the Belgian army., The text of the communication is as follows: "On the extreme left inundations brought about the Belgian army in the lower vallew of the River Yser have compelled the forces of the ene my which has passed this river to withdraw. They were subjected to a violent cannonade b ythe Belgian and French artillery during their move: ment of retreat. "The Germans endeavored to deliver very violent counter attacks on the French and British army corps which are progressing to the northeast and to the east of Ypres. At the end of the day our troops had, notwithstand ing, continued their forward move ment-4n the direction which had been assigned them and had also taken pos session of various points of support. "The British troops, assailed at sev eral points to the north of LaBassee by superior forces, resumed the of fensive with energy and reconquered to a considerable extent the terrain yielded to the enemy. At several oth er points on their line of combat the British troops repulsed the attacks of the Germans, inflicting on them import ant losses. "On the remainder of the front there has been no general action, only par tial offensive movements on our part as well as on the part of the enemy. We have made progress almost every where, notably before certain villages between Arras and Albert, upon the1 heights of the right bank of the Aisne down stream from Soissons and here and there along the Meuse to the north of Verdun."' South Africa Rebellion Broken 1 London.--Col. Conrad Brins, who has been engaged in suppressing the re bellion started by Lieutenant Colonel Maritz, in northwest Cape Province. reports that the invasion of the cape1 has finally been broken, according to a Capetowvn dispatch -to Reuiter's Tele-i gram company.1 Protests Against U. S. Passports Washington.-Complainlt that many Germans posing as British subjects are receiving passports out of Germany] from American diplomatic agents wast filed at the state department by Sir< Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambas-t sador. Information has reached thei embassy that many aliens have cross-1 ed the channel to England with pass-2 ports obtai<. .,y misrepresentation. Acting Secretary of State Lansing said: the American officials in Germany would be cautioned to exercise vigi- l lance. Greece Will Reoccupy Epirus ' London.-The Greek diplomatic rep resentatives at the capitals of the greatt powers have given official notice of the decision of the Hellenic government to reoccupy Epirus, from which the Greek army was withdrawn in March in pur suance of the decision reached at the ambassadors' conference fixing the status of that country. Greece claims that this decision is based upon the necessity of re-establishing order and security in a coutnry adjacent to her territory now riddled with anarchy. l Government Will Use Cotton 1c The U.

Turkey Enters Into War London.-The complications of the uropean war have been increased b) he entrance of Turkey into the con ict on the side of Germany and Aus ,ria. After the Breslau had bombard !d Theodosia, Russia, Turkish destroy ,rs sank the Russian gunboat Donet. n Odessa harbor, and damaged three Iussian and one French merchant nen. No official declaration of war ha: ret been made, but Turkey's actior eems to make it probable that th rea of the conflict may be greatly wid ned.

Christians In Turkey in Danger London.--There have been great nanifestations in Damascus, Asiatic ['urkey, in favor of a war against Thristians, and especially Great Brit. in, according to a dispatch to the Ex hange Telegraph from Athens. The nassing of Bedouins along the Egyp ian frontier, the dispatch adds, is be ng continued. 1,000 Austrians Taken Prisoner London.-The Petrograd correspond. nt of the Exchange Telegraph com any sends the following: "It is officially announced _that on ie east Prussian front hard fighting :ontinues. Persistent German attack! iave been repulsed. "Beyond the VTistula the enemy'! ear guard has been hard pressed by he Russians on a front extending rm Lodz to Zwichost. The Russians aptured heavy guns and several aer planes. Russian Ports Bombarded London.-The Russian gunboat Do iota whs sunk, a part of the crew vere drowned and the others were tilled or wounded by the Turkish tor edo boats which raided the fort of dessa, according to a message tc Joyd's agency. The Russian steam :rs Lazaroff, Witiaz and Whampoa and he French steamer Portugal were lamaged by shell fire and a number >f sailors killed or wounded. Shells tlo were fired on the suburbs of Odes. ;a, near a number of oil tanks, but ie tanks were undamaged. A suga: 'actory, however, was hit. Some civil. ans also were killed or injured by he shells. Pitiable Plight Of Belgians Brussels.-Famine menaces nearly even million persons in Belgium un. As they receive Immediate help from he outside. Brand Whitlock, Ameni an minister, asserts that less than wo weeks' food supply remains in cit es, while conditions In country dis ricts are worse. His reports from Na ur, Louvain and Liege say affairs In hese cities are worse than in Brussels. Cea~rly half the people who have re nained in Belgium are wandering elplessly from town to town seeking helter with friends and relatives. Canada Not Worried About Invasion Hot Springs, Va.-Robert L. Borden le Canadian premier, saw here for the irst time the published statement o ount von Bernstorff, German ambas ador, that invasion of Canada by Ger nany would not be a violation of the 4onroe doctrine. He remarked that 'anada did not consider a German in 'asion imminent, and that the relatioi f the Monroe doctrine to such an im ~robability hardly had been consid f the department. The bid rice was 1:3 cents per pound. The lowest bid on jute twine cas 10 centa per pound. but as he cotton cord runs about nine ards to the pound while the tfe runs only about six yards o the pound the government il save about $70,000 by using otton twine, besides giving a tew market for several thous FRESH TROOPS TAKE PLAGE OF FALLEN GERMANS RESTED AND REIN. I FORCED, RENEW ATTACK IN THE NORTHWEST. THE RUSSIANS CLAIM GAINS t Allies, Aided by the Flooded Lands, Are Holding the Army Away From the Coast. London.-New German attempts to reach the French channel ports, Nieu. port to Arras, while resulting in prog ress at some points, have been gen erally ineffective. Near the coast their advance has been checked by an extension of the flooded area. The battle raged with the fury that marked the opening of the last phase of this campaign and even, on the English coast the boom of the big na- ( val guns which are bombarding) the t invader's flank could be distinctly i heard. . I E , The Allies have brought up Iifnd and sea forces in an endeavor, to a check this second effort of the Ger mans to establish themselves on the French coast, from which they hope to menace England. A Berlin official report said that the German troops had occupied Ramsca pelle, on the railway and canal be tween Nieuport and Dixmude, but the French official communication saidi. they were driven out by a counter at tack. On the whole, therefore, it would I appear that the situation on this 'n t t important battle front remains I as it was when the Germans, th, exhaustion a few days ago ce t their heavy artlilery fire for rest. The f French report tells of various ad-If vances and losses, but these usually so far as distances are concerned, can be marked in feet or yards, and the advance made a few days ago by the British in Belgium of 1,200 yards was considered remarkable. I Throughout the great battle front there has been a repetition of attacks I and counter attacks at times. a pro- I nounced thinning of the lines. t The Germans made a particularly t violent attack east of Soissons on the i Aisne and, according to the German C report, drove the French across the - river. - Reports that Lille had been reoccu- j pied by the French and that Ostend c had been evacuated by the Germans lacked confirmation and were consid ered premature. The East Prussian frontier is again scene of a high battle. The Ger mans, according to the Russian re ports were repulsed with immense I losses. In Poland the Germans are reported to be falling back to new positions near their own frontier, while in Ga- t licia the fighting continues without d material change. The situation created by Turkey's c attacks on Russian towns in the Crimea, and upon Russian ships in the Black Sea should soon be cleared up, as Great Britain and Russia havea presented a demand to the Sublime a Porte for an explanation of the inci dents, the dismissal of the German officers and men from Turkish war- 0 ships, ,and the dismantling of the C Goeben and the Breslau, the former I German cruisers. Turkey's reply may be delayed, as t it was announced that telegraphic I communication with Turkey was in terrupted. It is not yet clear what damage the Turkish fleet has done,a although the reports from different sources say four Russian torpedo boats, a mine layer, a collier and ar coast guard ship were destroyed. 0 One of Great Britain's difficulties 1i will be the protection of the oil fields V which she recently acquired in Persia. .~ Indian troopa can be brought up for this purpose. There is much speculation as to what action the Balkan States and Italy will take in view of Turkey's en trance into the struggle, but as yet there has been no definite statement on this subject, Turkey Will Hold Consuls of Russia. Washington. - Great Britain and France have placed their interests in Turkey in the hands of the American embassy. The Turkish consul at Havre has turned over his consulate to the United States and is preparing along with other consuls to leave France. Turkey will not permit Russian consuls to leave the Ottoman Empire until assured of safe conduct for the Turkish consuls in Russia, according to a cablegram from Ambassador Mor ganthau. The Turkish minister of the interior informed Mr. Morganthau that Turk ish warships within the last three days had bombarded Sebastopol. Servia has asked the United States through Mr. Morganthan to look af ter her diplomatic interests 'in case of war with Turkey." No mention was made in Mr. Mor ganthau's dispatches of any declar~a tion of war. Communication .with Constantinople was interrupted 'but the last message, mentioned incident ally that the capitol was quiet.

Waplecroft Mill De clared Insolveni The Greenville Piedmont of Tridav says: In the United States court this norning, in the case of certain reditors a g a in s t Maplecroft nills, instituted for the purpose if putting said mill into bank uptcy, Judge H. A. M. Smith tated that he was not prepared o decide the main point in issue vhich was argued before him he day before. He stated that te would consider the ques ion for about two weeks and nake a final decision of it; that nasmuch as the jury had been ,mpanelled,rather than continue he case pending his considera ion of the matter, by consent of ounsel on both sides, it was Lareed that Judge Smith would lirect the jury to find against he mill and the mill would at ince enter a motion for a new rial and the judge would decide he question within the next two ir three weeks. In the event hat he decided in favor of the nill a new. trial would be grant d. In case he decided for the etitioning creditors the case vould be carried to the circuit ourt of appeals and will beheard .t the February term and a de ision by that court could be had Lpon tt ~.2Lstion of law inol ed.- Therrefore, no testimony vas taken at the present term. le further stated that he would tot interfere with the present aanagement or control of the oill until the circuit court of ap eals had passed upon the ques ion involved.

H. S. Ross, Fore aan.'" A petition in involuntary bank uptcy was filed in this case on 'ebruary 10, 1914.
