C. as second class mail matter, under act of Congress of March 3,1879 PUBLISHED WEEKLY A VPICKENS, S. C., NOVEMBER 19, 1914 abhikharl 1R.71 -Valime 44 Local Talent Play Pleased the People "The New Minister," the musical play, which charmed a Pickens audience on Tuesday night was repeated at Liberty on Friday evening in 'the audi torium of the school building bef3re an appreciative gather ing of listeners. The solos and choruses were ell received, and applause was gerterouslv given. The audience seemed to thorougly enjoy the the offering, and the thrusts of wit and satire were not lost upon them. The expected laugh was always forthcoming. The cast of Dlayers was nicely balanced, and no part suffered at the expense of another. The character parts as played by the boys were well depicted. The work of Paul Boggs as Hezikiah Sharp was an especially fine characterization, a n d Coley Seaborn played t h e athletic "fan" to perfection. Rev. L. E. Wiggins as The New Minister, added a sincerity and dignity to the part that rounded it out into a sermon -within itself. The play, which alone is a page from life, but rev ggrtd deserves a reed earing wherever preisented. Miss Margaret Booker in the leading -soprano role, gave a finished . performance, and chaimed all with the dainty sweetness and lilting melody of her voice. The successful production of the Cautata reflects great credit upon Miss Elinor Knight, who coached the players, and managed the performances, and Mrs. W. M. Melton, who played the accompaniment. The cantata was given to make money to buy apparatus for -the teaching of physics in the high school, and a goodly part of the necessary amount was raised.

J. ! D. Crain will preach a sermon Isuitable to the occasion. Every ibody is cordially invited to at tend. Rev.

The entertainment will consist of two humorous dia logues entitled "Jumbo Jum" and "My Mother in Law," either of which is worth the price of admission. A small ad mission fee will be charged for the benefit of the school. The Dacusville- peoDle are justly proud of their fine school and the very excellent corps of teachers. Prof. E.

Pleasant Grove News Avery Cisson of this section is attending a musical school at Dayton, Va. Willie D. Cox, who has just recovered from a long spell of fever, is confined to his room again. John McJunkin is confined to his bed with fever. He has been in bed most of the summer with a broken leg. Rev. J. E. Foster filled his reg ular appointment at Pleasant Grove last second Saturday and Sunday, and was unanimously elected to supply for the year of 1915. Brother Foster has been supply at this church for ten years, and when he took the church it was holding services in the school house. By his as sistance and good advice we have a church now erected that is worth one thousand dollars, with other improvements that I think Brother Foster should have due credit for. We hope the coming year of 1915 will be the most prosperous of all. Many thanks for your advice, i Progressive.

J.B\ 'EWBERY, robate Judge Picke@s county, as IN THE WORLI London.-While the battle in West Flanders continues to hold public at tention because of the desperate char acter of the fighting, the numbers of men engaged and the territory at stake, military men now look on East Prussia as the center of gravity of the war. In the latter field a tremendous battle is developing. The Russianr are pushing vigorously a great er veloping movement. They are er Sgaged with the Germans along a wide curve of 150 miles from Stalluponen, in the northeast, through Goldap and iKruglanken, which is well within the tangle of lakes, down to Soldau in Sthe southwest. Military observers say the Germans apparently have checked their retreat ,in Poland and are count er-attack ingl. ,They say, however, that the Russians Iare not to be turned from their plan, which is believed to be an attack on iDanzig. They argue that the Germans ieither must allow East Prussia to be overrun a second time or bring up freinforcements, and that they hardly Ican weaken their army along the IPolish frontier, for that would leave Posen and Silesia open to invasion. The allies, naturally, are hoping an effort will be made to relieve East Prussia at a sacrifice to he German armies in Belgium and France.

German Airmen Are Trapped Paris.-A thrilling encounter be tween four German and two French and two British aeroplanes has occur red near Ypres. The German machines finally were destroyed by artillery and their eight officers killed. When the Germans were seen approaching the allies' lines the French and British craft ascended to moet them. For some time the airships circled about each other while mcahine guns inef fectually spattered bul-rs among them. Then suddenly the four allied aeroplanes made a swift da-h toward their own trenche.

Of this sui, however. a small part has been loaned to Belgium and Ser via, and some will be used to assist the dominions and the allies to make their financial arrangements. A por tion of the money also will be re quired for the additional million men to be enlisted, who will bring the English regular army up to 2,186,000. These figures do not include the ter ritorials, who number nearly six hun dred thousand. German Cruisers Are Captured London.-The British navy got into the war picture with two successes the destruction of th'e German cruiser Enmden, in the eastern waters of the Indian ocean, and the bottling up of the Konigsberg, considered her sister ship, in the western extremity of the same sea. These two raiders, esp)ecially the Emden, have many successes to their credit and their skill in evading the net thrown out for them has been a matter of chagrin to British naval men. The Emden's end came in battle as befitted her rccord throughout recent history, for, according to all accounts, even those of her victims, she played a clean game, strictly in accordance with the recognized rule of naval war. fare. After a sharp action off Cocos island with the Australian cruiser Sydney, the German ship, with heavy casual ties, was beached, ablaze. The Ger man cruiser Konigsberg met a less gloroas fate, as she was bottled up in such a position that she must either be captured or surrendered, though in either case she probably will be nothing but a useless huik. The cruiser Chathanm. which ran down the Konigsberg ini the river op. posite the island of Mahia, German East Africa, is a sister ship of the Sydney, which closed the career of the England Predicts Long War London.-That Englai d is prepared to carry on the war indefinitely, with every confidence in the result, was the tenor of the speeches at the annual banquet inaugurating the new lord mayor of London at GuihI fHall, delis ered by the men rt::ponsible for the conduct of the war.

RUSSIANS PRESS ON INTO GERMANY Kaiser's Armies In The East Have Been;( Unable to Hold The Russian Invaders ALLIES STAND FIRM AT YSER Germans Have Made No Progress In France-Allied Warships Cap ture German Scourges lritish mercantile shipping greatly i t-z.d during the past week and I 1i, i-ne insurance rates in Lon dio: w*ere cut nearly in half as the re sult of the capture of the German cruisers Em>nden and Konigsberg off the Chilean -.cast. The Emden alone had a record of capturing or destroying 22 Bri;islh trading vessels, and these Ger manl warships had made life misera ble for British shipping on the high seas. The allies have been able to hold their own against the Germans. along the Yser river in the north of F:ance and the kaiser's armies are no nearer to the French seacoast than they were a week ago. The most important development of the past week in the European war has been the campaign of the Rus sians against. the Germans in the east of Prussia, Galicia and Russian Pol and.- Here the Russians have surpris ed tile world with their ability to fol low up the retreat of the 'Germans from Poland and a great danger of Russian invasion of Germany is de veloping in that direction. After about two months of apparent idleness in east Prussia the invading armies of Rus-ia are again taking the offensive and so far the Germans have been unable to check their advanqe. The allies in France and Belgium are very much elateI over the suc cess of the campaign of the Russians in the east. They are hoping that the czar's armies will prove,such a men- I ace that it will be necessary for the 5 Germans to withdraw a portion of the armies in France to protect their own country in the east. Should the Ger mans be compelled to do this it would probably mean that the allies would bring up great numbers of reserves 1 and force the Germans to retreat with. in their own border in the west. That England is settling down to a long war and that recent remarks by Edward Gray that the present war was only really starting so far as England was concerned, is quite evi dent from the fact that parliament has bcen asked for a million more men and another war appropriation of more than a billion dollars. It is esti mated that at the present time Eng land has more than a million and a half men held In reserve in England ( ready to be sent to the front. These I consist of new recruits, territorials and I Canadian troops. There seems to be somewhat of a confliction in the reports from Berlin and London concerning the safety of, the North sea for shipping. London recently issued a notice that the south I end of tile sea was not safe for ship ping and all neutral- vessels were warned not to traverse this area with out a British boat for a guide. The Germans later issued an identical bul letin with the exception thai. it de clared that the south end of the sea was safe from mines, but that the north was not. The question in the minds of the ship owners of neutral i countries' now is, which end of the sea is really safe?I After the fall of the German fortress at Tsing-Tau, China, the allied ships which were engaged in shelling the fortress, have been released and are now scouting the Southern seas for German war vessels. This has restor ed confidence and served to increase shipping to and from British ports. It means that British merchant vessels will be able to sail these seas with comparative safety. German Airmen Fly Over England Berlin.-According to information given out to the press in official quar ters. German aviators have flown over the English seaports of Sheerness and Harwick. Sheerness is a fortified sea port in Kent, at the mouth of tile Thames. it is about forty miles from London. H-arwich is in Essex and about seventy miles northeast of Lon don. Turkish Transports Are Sunk London.--An official dispatch from Constantinople reaching London by way- of Berlin, confirms indirectly the recent Russian staternent that a Rus sian fleet had sunk three Turkish transports in the Black sea. The Con stantinople report admits that there has beeni no news of these ships since they left the Turkish capital a week ago, it adds that as the vessels were near Son-guldak, on the Black sea, the day this place was bombarded, it is possible that they were attacked by the Russian squadron. U. S. Officers Accompany Germans Washington.-Germany, it was an nounced at the war department, has consentedl to allow American army of ficers to observe military operations of the German army. Six officers have been detailed for this duty. Several officers have been sent to Austria and France as observers, and the Amer ian army is assured of learning at first handi lessons which the European war will teach in militatry strategy an h onuto big field arw-ies. The Trev O' Hearts is proving to be an exciting. absorbing, mysterous story. It is brim ming with thrilling incidents and holds the attention until the last line is finished. With each installment the interest'is becoming more intense. The thir d installment appears in the Sntinel this week. 5elling Red Cross Seals for Good Cause Columbia. S. C.
