Greek delegates without their previous
signature of the armistice protocol. The
turkish delegation is ordered to apply at
tomorrow's meeting for permission for the
revictualing of the fortress of Adrianople
In Official circles here it is explained
that the change in the Turkish attitude
toward Greece is the result Of the fact
that the situation in regard to Greece
now has turned SO much to the advantage
of Turkey that the Turkish government
would demand exceptional conditions be-
fore signing an armistice with Greece

Conditions Have Grown Worse.

Justification for that demand by the
tnited States government is declared to
be found in the numerous reports TO the
State Department to the general effect
that conditions i'm Mexico have grown
much worse since the dispatch of Secre-
tary knoXS note of protest of last Sep
tember, and that there has been a marked
increase i'm brigandage. in the KIDNAPPING
Of Americans for ransom and in the levy
ing OF forced war loans by the rebels
upon American mines and plantations.
1t has been represented to the State
Department that the strict enforcement
of the neutrality laws is In fact resulting
In the maintenance OF an attitude any
thing but neutral the part Of the
United States, and that the Madero gov
ernnent is benefiting unduIy by the ca
clusion or arms from the rebels, while
itself receiving quantities of military sup
plies, and the United States government
is now contemplating some amendment
OF the practice in that respect so as to
make its attitude more impartial as be-
tween combatants.

TO AVOID UNDUE HASTE
IN PURSUING NEW PLAN
Administration Profoundly Impress
ed by Reports of Evil Conditions.
AMERICANS APPEALS IGNORED
Determination to Alter Attitude Fol-
lows Representations Made by
Ambassador Wilson and SEN
ators Who Investigated.

The determination of the administration
10 adopt a sitter policy toward Mexico
was disclosed in the announcement last
night of the purpose to make fresh rep
resentations to that government regard
.ng the continuation of the rebellion. This
attitude Is directly attributable to the
recent return to Washington of several
oersons thoroughly cognizant of the al
.eged evil conditions south Of the border.
First saw Henry Lane Wilson. the
american ambassador to Mexico. who
has been in close touch with every one of
the American consular officers in the dis
turbed districts, and who also is per-
sonally aware Of the attitude of the
Mexica. government toward the large
number Of Am rican claims presented as
result of the depredations committed
by rebels.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-12-20
q. s. to Avoid Undue Haste.

In the ordinary course these would be
communicated through Ambassador Will
son, who left Washington this morning
for New York, whence he will sail next
Thursday for his post by way OF Vera
Cruz. The fact that the ambassador is
returning In leisurely fashion may be
indicative Of the purpose Of the admin
istration to avoid undue haste or excite
ment in developing this stronger policy
toward Mexico.
Further evidence OF the intention of the
administration to deal with this delicate
and difficult situation with circumspec-
ton and in a spirit of deliberatiOn was
afforded by the decision to allow Mr..
Wilson TO proceed to his post without the
expected note to the Mexican govern
ment. This communication is now being
prepared with the greatest care at the
State Department. and will be trans
mitted 10 the American ambassador prob
ably soon after his arrival in the City of
Mexico. early in January.
The deliberation with which the Of
ficiais moving in the preparation of
the case OF the United States vs. Mex
leo - expected 10 result in the production
Of brief that shall be well nigh unan-
swerable except by a promise Of prompt
and adequate action on the part Of the
Mexican government to meet fully the de-
mands of the United States in the mat
ter of the protection of American inter-
es,s in Mexico.

Declare Madero Indifferent.

Then there have come forward the
three members of the self-constituted
committee of Americans, representing the
large plantation and mining interests in
northern Mexico, who, from personal
knowledge, were able to inform the State
Department Of the various practices en-
ployed by the rebel leader to extort
money from the American managers and
foremen and of the comparative indiner-
ence of the Mexican government officials
to the numerous appeals Of the Ameri-
can interests for protection from the
raiders.
Lastly, there have come the members of
the Senate subcommittee on foreign re-
Iations fresh from an investigation at
first ha nd Of border conditions, from Cal
ifornia to Texas
The combination Of all these representa-
tions has made a profound impression
upon the admin .strat ton. II has been con-
cluded that stronger representations than
have heretofore been made must be d.
rected to the Mexican government II the
conditions are to be cured.

Welcome, Faculty and Students.

On behalf of the people of Edgefeld
The Advertiser extends to the faculty
and students of the S. C. c. I. most
cordial welcome. So intimately are
you associated with our community
life, and so important factor have
you become, socially, religiously, edu-
ucationally and commercially, that your
absence has been very keenly felt.
You, together with the splendid Inst.
tuition which you represent, are Edge
fields most valuable asset. We say
this because you contribute not alone
to the material upbuilding of the town
but the weight of your influence makes
for the betterment of the community
in the intangible, invisible and eternal
things, which are the most enduring,
the most valuable.
Again we say welcome, to the men,
bers of the faculty and student hndy.
May your stay among us be pls SAINT
and profitable, and may the ses: ion Of
1928 be the best, the very best, l.,
the history of your very excellent In
stitution!

Law Proper Foundation.

Why is it that some parents will
make every possible sacrifice to send
their eldest son or daughter off to col
lege and then be almost criminally
careless about sending the younger
children to school regularly? The foun-
alton of an education is laid in the
pu blic school, therefore the kind of
work, whether thorough or superficial,
which your child does before reaching
its teens will determine the character
OF this foundation. Unless providen-
TALLY hindered, a child sholld attend
school every day of every week of
every month of the entire school term.
Do not wait till your son is sixteen to
get him ready for college. Begin
rather at six to prepare him for his
college course.

Strong Appeal For County Fair.

As the time for holding our an
nual fair is near at hand, I want to
ask the hearty cooperation of our
citizens, for without this it will be
readily seen that the result will not
be as successful as we hope for.
This should appeal to the farm
ers and their good housewives, in
so far as agricultural products and
house-wifery energy and capablli-
ties are concerned. This fair is an
Edgefeld county event in which all
patriotic and county loving people
should take a just and pardonable
pride, and l feel that you will do
it.
We especially call the attention
cf those of our citizens who live
more remotely fr"m the Court
House, to not forget the fact that
they are a part of US, and we want
an exhibit from all parts of the
county. Which will be just as
much appreciated here as they will
be in Augusta or Columbia at the

Better Apply at Once.

If your crop falls short and you con-
template making application for a
place in the traditional "poor house, :"
first see if you will not be admitted to
the ranks of the Lexington county
chaingang. According to the report
just published by the Lexington grand
jury that is better place even than
living at home. The report states that
the convicts have been extravagantly
fed on cheese, macaroni, chickens,
eggs, butter and choice steak at 20
cents per pound. Better send in your
application early to the Lexington su-
supervisor. With such tempting
m emu offered three times day vacan-
cies will not lpg remain untitled.

Burdened With Illiteracy.

A study of the election figures, no.
ting in whose favor the majorities ia
the several counties stood, easily es-
tablishes the fact that South Carolina
is sorely burdened with illiteracy. The
late Governor Aycock of North Caro-
lima is quoted as saying on one oc-
casion: 81 thank God for South Caro-
lima, for she prevents North Carolina
from being at the foot of the list in
illiteracy."
Under our Democratic form of gov
ernment we boast that each individual
citizen is sovereign, but in point of
fact there are thousands of illiterates
in South Carolina who instead Of be-
ing sovereigns are nothing but tools in
the hands of designing demagogues.
Until these men become sufficiently
trained and developed in mind to do
theis own thinking and voting, after
first informing themselves upon the
public issues, we need not hope for a
betterment of political conditions in
South Carolina. AS long as South
Carolina is satisfied to remain at the
bottom of the list in illiteracy the
dawn of new and better day is in the
very remote future.

3ond Issue VIII be Increased

The mass meeting that was held
in the court house Friday afternoon
to consider the matter of increasing
the bond issue for the completion
of the electric light plant was at
tended by goodly number of busi-
ness men. Mayor J. G. Edwards
was called to the chair and Mr.. E.
J. Norris acted as secretary. Mr.. A..
E. Padgett was requested to state
the object of the meeting, and in
this connection he made report on
how the money realized from he
bond issue had been expended and
stated why the necessity has arisen
for an increase of $4,000. iAfter the
statement or report by Mr.. Padgett,
Gov. Sheppard moved that petit
ton be circulated at once requesting
the town council % order an cleo
tion upon the question of increas-
ing the bond issue to $40, 900.
As a result of the meeting a
petition has already been circulat-
ed and sufficient number of names
have been secured to have an elec-
tion ordered. That the necessary
am cunt of bonds will be voted
there is practically no loubt. The
largest taxpayers have all along
favored the bond issue for light
plant.
