THINKS LIBERTY IN DANGER
President Elliot Says Modern Democ
racy Is Wrong.

New York, Jan. 16-In an address
at club reception in Brooklyn Presi-
dent Eliot of Harvard University has
reiterated his recent declaration that
modern democracy, in the sense that
the majority, right or wrong, should
.ule. and labor unions and associa-
tiOns of employers as now constituted
are dangerous to liberty
Tracing the growth of the universi-
ties, he told how the students in the
continental universities mad wrested
freedom from European abs sclutism,
and in this connection he paid tribute
to the students that went heart and
soul into tue revolutions of 1S4S of
those that fought and worked for Ital-
ian unity, and to the students that are
now said te' be endeavoring to bring
about freedom OF speech and thought
in Russia

MAY BE WAR OF NATIONS.
Fighting Would Not Be Limited to
Japan and Russia.

New York, Jan. 1G.-Cablng from
81. petersburg, the correspondent Of
the Herald quoted an unnamed prom-
nent diplomat as saying:
Let all those who are adding fuel
to the fire, which means war, remem-
Der that no possible power can limit
that war To Japan and Russia It's eX-
tension to either nountries is sure,
with results too terrible to consider
In the long corridor of the foreign
office, where officials are won't to
walk about arm in arm, there were
signs Of much animation after the
receipt IF Japan's reply There was
much loud talk and a general air of
ill-suppressed excitement the same
which prevailed in many other influen-
tial quarters. Also the general opin-
ion appears to be that matters politi-
cal have reached a highly critical
point.
Russia is undoubtedly anxious to
do all possible, but there is a unani-
nous feeling that she cannot accept
any prcpositioH from Japan which
is damaging TO her amour propre. The
situation may, in fact be summed up
as follows: Japan is dissatisfied with
the Russian note, and returns it for
amendment. According to the declar-
alton of high official of the foreign
office when the last Russian reply
was sent to Japan, Russia had con-
ceded all she possibly can, and while
willing to grant small concessions to
Japan in Korea she refuses to discuss
the question of Manchuria
Japan insists in pushing the Man
churian open-door question as a sine
qua non, and also with equa4 insist
ence, urging that she should have as
surances Of the integrity of Korea and
China, to which Russia's consent is
impossible.
Russia win reply in similar tone
and will lay her reasons before the
powers justifying her attitude.

THREE DEATHS In KINGSTREE.
A Lad of FGGrteen and Two Mothers
of Little Children Pass Away.

Three deaths in three days in this
little community lave cast gloom
over the town. On the oath, Arthur
Alsbrook, the l4-year-old son OF Mr.
2 A Alsbrook, succumbed to an at
tack of pneumonia after an illness of
two DAYS. His funeral services were
conducted at the house by the Rev
w H Hodges and the interment took
place in the burying ground on the
banks of Black river, near the spot
where stood, as it is said. in colonial
days the great pine tree from which
this towu takes its name.
On the morning of the 25th in
slant Mjs W I Wilkins passed away
after an illness of one week. The
funeral services were held at the
house S turlay in presence Of al
most the entire town. The services
were conducted by the Rev Henry
Cauthen, of the Methodist church.
Of which Mrs Wilkins was a con-
sistent member. This is one of the
saddest funerals that has ever taken
place in the community. Four gem
eralions, from grandfather to child,
followed her remains to the grave.
Mrs Wilbius was formerly Miss Co.
III Hudgins, the daughter of Mr.
George Z dudgins, of Charleston.
She was lady much beloved i'll
this community for many cndearing
traits of character, and the sympa-
thy of the people goes out to the be-
reaved husband and the five little
children, the youngest of whom is
babe one week old. Few dry eyes
were seen during the service and
strong men unused to tears, wept and
were not ashamed.
Friday, a few hours before the
funeral above described, another
mother of little children, Mrs } E
Reardon, after month of intense
suffering, was mercifully called to
the glory OF a brighter day. Mrs
Reardon was raised IN Charleston
ard came to reside here with her
husband, who was Williamsburg
man, about five years ago. Mr.
Resrdon died about eight months
ago and thus six orphans remain to
mourn mothers death, the young
est being two twin girls, six years of
age.
The circumstances attending this
death could not make it appeal
more to the sympathetic aud kindly
disposed, and sympathy in this case
should take Il form more substantial
than good intentions. The funeral
services, conducted by Rev Henry
Cauthen, were held Sunday morning
ut the home of the deceased, after
which the body was conveyed to the
Cemetery for interment.
