For Another Euripides. If some poet or dramatist as great as Euripides were to rise from the -.wreck of this war and write of what he had seen ho could not better the denunciation in "The Trojan Women" which runs, in part, "H-ow are ye blind, ye treaders down of cities,... yourselves so soon to die." Those lines were spoken when this play was presented In the rrew stadium of the City college. They brought hems to all who heard them the sickeni ng real ization that Europe has sloughed off its veneer of civilizatIon and Is back where it was six centuries before the birth of Christ, when ancient Greece, too, believed that she had emerged from barbarism and dId not see thte ruin then impending.

Russian, Persian nd Turkish Flags Fleat Over the Land-Possibility That Liberty May Result From the European War. The lesser nations have come into promilnence during the war because of the efforts of patriotic committees to revive ancient governments. The Bal kan states and Poland and Lithuania are examples. Of late there have been numerous reports of distress in Arne nia, due to the conflict of Russian and Turkish arms. Months ago voices were raised in England on its behalf when it was seen that Russia, Eng land and France were to be banded to gether against the Germanic-Turkish powers. Now comes the demand that the aspirations of Armenia be recog* niized, that tle Christian people . ho for geneurations h. afrl l)I*:-eeu tion be permit ted to order their own affairs. and to taike i) the !f-ov mlent which they lo;4t Iluany ye'ars ao Arme)(11n. like l'oind, listclay ill three partsz.

Turkish assiuraIces of reforms, as giveni to the powers, were never carried out. l'er sneutions increased. Russia was only little better than Turkey. The vicious, elements of ithle Moslem population were stirred. purposely. it seemed, and the massacres of recent history fol lowed. France undertook the protc. tion of Roman Catholics, and Russia ,attempted a like service for Greek Catholics, and the fury of the mob fell on the Irotestants and Gregorians. Great Britain and the United States, the latter to a less extent, interested themselves, but the apathy of the Eu ropean powers In general prevented immlediate reform. Armenian massa. cres have continued, and up to the time the present war began revolution ary movements were developed for re lief from Turkey.

Rip Van Winkle Has Awakened STO THE FARAMERS OF LAURENS COUNTY: Atrtwo years of constant thought and careful investigation, we have come to the con +clusion that the merchant who best protects his trade is almost certain to suceeed. And4 in this connection, we believe what we are going to say is in perfect accord with the ideas and opinions of the thinking and most progressive citizens of Laurens county,. namely Thlat the low price of cotton the past year has been a blessing in disguise to our people and taught them to raise every necessary product possible on their own farms, besides in-4 Sculcating a commendable spirit of economy. Bnt there is yet ops'e kind of economy and ()progress that our farmers have yet to learn, and that is the raising of colts--au economy +~ that is just as important on the farmu as the raising of cattle, h'ogs, corn, oats, or any other products that we need. __ Now, having had a life-long experience as a stock raiser, (being raised on the farm) and Shaving been identified with the best interests of Laurens county for more than half a life Stime, I feel warranted in claiming that I can be a public benefactor by offering to our trade +and the public generally a car load of the very best brood mares, and to this end we have4 made up our minds to "'take a shot"' at it-to try the experiment in the hope of inducing our pro)gressive farmers to raise their owvn stock, or most of it at least. S So, on the FIRST MOND)AY in December, 191 5, we will have at our stable a full car4 Sload of good brood mares ranging in ages from four to seven years, weighing fromi onie + thousand to twelve hundli~red and fifty p~oundis, and as many of them in fold as we cani get. S Any assertioni without reason is no good. A\nd we miainutaini that the farmer, as a :utle,(. feeds his mu tles eight months ini the year to work, and the other four months to look at Swhereas, if lie has sonme good brood1 mares they will do t he same work as the imutles for + eight months and breed the other four-and thus work for the farmer the entire twelv'e mnonthi bringing him good profits.'+ Rdwill leave Monticello, Ark., this wveek for Memphis, Tenni., and will go through the+ Scountry till he finds wvhat lie wants and will buy from the farmer direct, and we will sell them dlirect to Laurens county farmnere. While it wvill take loniger to get what we want, we Sknow that by buying direct from the Tennessee fprmers, we can save money for our farm +ers here at home in the sale of this class of stock. ~'We intend to sell these brood mnares for cash, or such notes as the Banks will handle Swithout our endorsement, and we are positive that we can save you from twenty to thirty per cent. All we ask is for you to give us a trial. Your money is yourt ?riend. We will + also exchange these brood mares for good mes.
