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:

Awaiting for God's trumpet sound.
That we may rise and soar away

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.

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,'

Paris.-The following official com

"In Belgium, according to the latest
advices, there is nothing to report .in
the region of Nieuport or Dixmude.
"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

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

THE RUSSIANS CLAIM GAINS

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.

The Greenville Piedmont of

In the United States court this

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

nake a final decision of it; that
nasmuch as the jury had been

le further stated that he would

The court directed the follow

A petition in involuntary bank
uptcy was filed in this case on

hat the Maplecroft mills, a cot
