London, Nov. ia more hopeful
feeling prevailed today with regard
to the International situation created
by the Balkan war. The situation is
still fun of difficulties, but the atti-
tude of all the powers. who are
working for a peaceful settlement. 1t
is believed will result in avoiding a
conflict. Servia. however. has not
replied to Austria's statement that
the occupation of port on the Adri-
attic sea will not be tolerated. On the
contrary, the Servian army is going
right ahead. and one report says that
it has already reached Durazzo.
The Russian government, in direct
disregard of public opinion, has noti-
fled the Servian minister that Rus
sia will not go to war over an Adriat-
ic port.
Servia thinks that Austria aims at
her political and economic subjection.
and Austria thinks that Servia is get
ting too strong. and that the Servians
in Austria will want Independence
next.

Strictly Accurate as to the Eyes
William E. Gay. who formerly held an
editorship with a New York daily
tells this tale of a young friend OF his
named Jack, also Of the stan, during
the cub days. On the editors desk was
a framed motto, saying, BE accurate
in all things"
One day, when sent out to cover
speech, Jack turned in his copy read
ing with this statement in the lead:
"Three hundred and ninety-nine eyes
were fixed on the speaker"
The editor tore his hair and haled
the young man before him.
Sir" he demanded, what in the
name OF Ill that's holy did you put
that absolutely foolish statement in
your story"
Never blinking an eye, Jack replied:
why, Mr.. Gay, there was an old man
in the audience with only one eye.'
Jack is now an editor himself In San
Francisco.

'It is easy to answer the opponents

Ben Hood, of Commerce, Ga, the lit
tie ones being contended for by the
father on the one hand and the rela-
tives Of their dead mother on the otn-

urday morning, and resulted in a VIC
tory for Mr.. Hood, who left on the
avening train for his home, accompa-
MED by his children. ..... Mrs. Nancy
Darby relict of the late Zenas Darby
died Thursday at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs. ODE Roberts, In the
Armenia neighborhood, after a critical
illness of several weeks, and was laid
TO rest Friday in New Hope graveyard
after funeral services by the Rev. j..
H. Montgomery, pastor OF chester cir
cult. Jessie Johnston, colored, was
arrested this morning and committed
to jail on the charge Of house-breaK-
ing and larceny. She Is alleged TO
have entered the dwelling Of Mr.. Nor
wood G. Smith, until recently a resi-
dent of Pine street in this city, ana
stolen certain household goods, which
have since been recovered. Dora Flem-
ing has also been arrested in connec-
ton with the case.
Gaffney Ledger, June 18: One OF the
most daring things pulled of recently
in Gaffney was the jail delivery OF
Thursday night when some person or
persons forced an entrance into the
city Jail and took therefrom one'
Thomas Lockhart, a notorious onend-
er Lockhart had been notified some
time ago to leave Gaffney and inform
ed that II he came back to Carney
again, either drunk or sober, that ne
would be sent to the chaingang. Up
on the same plan that "a bad penny
always comes back" Tom showed up
recently and Thursday the police got
their hands on him, combining him 10
the city Jail with the intention of send
ing him to the chaingang. However,
when the officers sought for Thomas In
the early morning 1t was discovered
that some one had entered the jail
through a hole made by a prisoner In
escaping some time before, and after
gaining access to the building, file
and saw made getting out of the cell
easy for Mr.. Thomas Lockhart. When
last seen Tom was hitting the high
ball down Thickety hill. No evidence
was introduced to show that he had
his head out the window watching the
drivers roll, but eye witnesses say that
he was just about drowned.

the promotion of such a progressive
idea.
Several districts in this state are
promoting publicity along this line,
but what is needed is statewide
movement to the end that the I'M
limited resources, the abundant oppor-
tunities and the matchlesss climatic
conditions capable of proht-making
development may be given all means
for wide publicity.
The state fair management, the
many commercial bodies which are
becoming more and more federated,
the railroads of the state and all its
enterprising and progressive citizens
should get behind a movement similar
to the one being promoted in Oregon
and fostered by Mr.. Hill who, it is
said, will devote the next two years
in bringing such cooperative move
ment into it's fullest development. He
is certain to meet with the heartiest
support of the people of that state.

GIVING THE BOYS AND GIRLS AN
INCENTIVE

Too much cannot be said in praise
of the movement now underway in
this state and many others to en-
courage the boys and girls of the
country to take an interest in the Gull
tivaton of the soil and compete for
prizes offered by enterprising citizens
other agricultural associations.
The management of the state fair in
of the valleys of the Yakima are warm
supporters of the idea and the re-
spouse on the part of the school chill
dren shows that they appreciate the
work done for their encouragement
and will be keen competitors for the
prizes offered by the association from
contributors made to them by citizens
who see in the movement an excellent
plan to advance public interest in mat
ters pertaining to intensive soil cult
walton.
Some of the counties of the state
have gone a little farther than Yakima
and offer to take twenty-five interested
young agriculturists to the fair as the
guests of the association, to entertain
them throughout the week, giving
them instructions each day by expert
instructors from the State Agricultural
college on matters pertaining to farm
life. They will be taught the secrets
of butter and cheese making, poultry
judging, stock judging, milk testing,
apple packing and marketing. They
will be told how to care for bees,
chickens and horses and cattle. These
talks will be rudimentary, but will be
for the encouragement of interest to
the boy and girl on the farm, giving
a new interest and an added incentive
to them for the work nearest at hand
and which they may have grown to
look upon as an embarrassing task.
This is giving the boy and girl a
chance and quite as important in solv-
Ing the question of keeping the boys
