HELD UP THREE TINES ON TRIP
Dutch Liner Establishes Nationality
and Is Allowed to Proceed to New
York With Many Refugees.

NEW YORK.-The Holland-Amer-
lean liner Nieuw Amsterdam, flying
the Dutch flag and having on board
many American refugees who had
fed war stricken Europe arrived in
this port tonight after being held up
three times by warships on her trip
across from Rotterdam.
On August 8, five hours and half
out from European shores, she was
stopped by a Dutch torpedo Destroy

warships surrounded her. Yesterday
when 376 miles east of Sandy Hook,

she was held up the liner satisfied
the warship that she belonged to a
neutral nation and was allowed to
proceed.

Why a County Fair?

Once again The News would urge
the people of Terrell county not to
overlook the fair that is to be held
next fall. The county fair is for the
public good, for giving individuals
new ideas and for stimulating cOun-
ty pride, and too often it is not the
success it ought to be because of the
failure of those who should be inter-
ested to make exhibits or attend.
AS the Progressive Farmer, in dis
cussing the county fair, says, these
fairs are social organizations as well,
and so helpful in this respect that it
is questionable whether in any other
way they serve so large a purpose.
Bringing together the representa-
tives of every township at some cen
trail place like the county seat leads
the people to know one another,
knowledge as powerful with the
community as the know thyself"
with the individual. They are like
wise educational. The average fair,
county or state, has something for
the visitor who goes with his eyes
open and his mind alert.
Moreover, our fairs are putting
larger stress on these educational
features each year. The midway is
lessening and the gambling devices
and those who play them are on the
decrease. This new order of things
means much for the larger fairs,
bat more for the smaller ones,
which have suffered from the false
impression that special attractions
beyond their financial reach were
necessary to their success. Numer-
Gus most successful county fairs
were held last year with their agri-
cultural, educational and livestock
exhibits for their sole drawing cards.
Let our people get busy at once
and make the Terrell County Fair
next fall the best that has yet been
held By a little determined effort
on the part of all classes it can be
done

ATLANTA HAD Big ELECTION NIGHT
Brass Bands Played While StereOptt-
cons Flashed Returns and Enthu-
siastic Orators Held Forth.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Atlanta had it's
big time last night, even if every
body couldn't be satisfied with the
results. There were brass bands
playing and stereopticons flash re-
turns and enthusiastic street orators
holding forth on the corners.
At the clubs high wassail was held.
Every club had private wires run in
and got the returns promptly, and
every time a particularly joyful bit
of news came it was drinks all round.
One election enthusiast had alb
sorbed so much joy juice that he
became over exuberant. Whenever
the returns flashed on the sheet he
would yell for the leader, no matter
whom he might be. When every
thing was over and he started home
he paused unsteadily before a brill
iantly lighted restaurant window. A
big sign read:
Small steak, 25; ham and eggs,
35."
"Hurrah for old Hamandeggs, y
shouted the enthusiast. "He's got
'em all beat"
There was plenty of energy and
enthusiasm around all the headquar-
tiers until nightfall, and after that
the enthusiasm began to concentrate
with the winners. The losers would
not give up hope until very late in
the evening, and even after the
crowds had gone home there were
still many stubborn supporters who
swore they would not give in and pay
off their bets until the last precinct
in the last county had come in.

The Ever Present Tip.

The tip is a recognized evil every
where outside of clubs, where, in
most instances, the servant who ac-
cepts a tip is discharged because the
members possibly take the view that
there shall be no favoritism and that
no man shall be able to buy better
service than any other man. Hence,
the man who can discover why the
rest of society is not organized on
the basis of a respectable club will
discover why the tipping nuisance
persists, thinks the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.
The English custom of allowing
guests to tip servants, even in private
houses, has long since invaded this
country, and che host permits his
servants to receive pay from his
guests for their attentions. One
might think that it would be to the
interest of applying in restaurants
the rule which is enforced in clubs
and insist that all patrons be treated
alike, but it may be that the restau-
rant proprietor wishes to encourage
the patronage of only those who are
lavish with their money and is glad
to see his walters Indifferent to those
who do not fee them literally while
ordering the most expensive dishes
The Mississippi legislature has
tried to abolish tipping by passing a
law against it, and recently in that
state a commercial traveller was fined
$500 for giving 10 cents to q negro
servant. But this happened two
years after the passage of the law
and it is not likely to happen again
It is doubtful if the evil could be
corrected by statute in any event.
1t seems useless to try to discover
why the tip persists. It does, ant
that is all there is about it.

One Blessing of the War.

WHEY will have no Paris gowns
nor Paris hats this year. That is
matter of course, now that the war
is stopping everything except taxes.
But, moreover, we shall not have any
fashions this year.
Why, of course not. Fashions
originate in Paris. They could not
come from anywhere else and be
fashionable. And Paris cannot send
any models over, and the American
buyers who have thronged that city
for month past must come home
empty-handed.
Every year the Partisan modistes
and milliners have great openings in
August. Every year the experts from
American stores and the designers of
American firms go over, sit at the
feet of fashion and bring home mod
els and ideas.
But this August there was no open
ing. Mademoiselle Modiste sat be-
hind closed curtains, weeping be-
cause her Jacques was gone to the
wars. There were no buyers except
those from the stores, so why worry
with new styles? 4
But perhaps it is a blessing after
all. There has long been a cry for
American fashions, to get away from.
the continual aping of Paris. Now
that there is no Paris to ape maybe
the American designers will develop
of their own worth while.

A DEFENSE OF THE SNAKE.


From the Farm and Fireside.
Professor Surface of Pennsylvania
comes to the defense of the snake as
a farmers friend. His children are
friendly with the snakes about the
place All Pennsylvania snakes
should be protected except the pois-
onous ones; and of these we think
there are only two in Pennsylvania,
the rattlesnake and the copper-head.
Snakes eat bugs, locusts, worms, and
other insect pests; so do toads.
Toads are probably of more value
than snakes, and when a snake eats
a toad he is doing more harm than
if he swallowed himself. But it seems
better to have two useful animals
like toads and snakes struggling for
survival than to carry on the war
against insects in a snakeless and
toadless world.

The Macon News notes that the
outstanding feature of the statewide
campaigns in Georgia this year has
been the high cost of politics-hard
as well as high on the man with lin
tied means. And our contemporary
is right in it's denunciation of such a
condition. Participation in politics
as an aspirant to public office on the
part of the man of poor purse is now
almost prohibitive.

BIG POLITICAL DRAMA
WITH BRUCE McRAE IN
LEADING ROLE AT 1915

Another sterling actor in the person
of Bruce McRae has been added to the
roster of thespians of the Famous
Players Film company. Mr.. McRae will
be presented at the Isis theater in the
popular romance of love and politics.
The Ring and the Man" by that well
known novelist and playwright Cyrus
Townsend Brady.
The commanding personality and
splendid poise of MIR. McRae fit him
peculiarly for the role of Gormley, the
man whose bravery and self posses
sion in the face of crucial circum-
stances enable him to successfully OPP
pose the gigantic forces OF a corrupt
political ring that is trying to ruin him.
Gormley's real name is Fordice, but the
shadow of crime which hangs over his
past has caused him to change 1t to
Gormley, by which name he is known
to his business associates and the pub
lie, who respect him as a great mer-
chant prince and reform candidate for
mayor. Back of Gormley's ambition is
a good and beautiful woman, Eleanor
Haldane, whose father is owner of the
Gotham Traction company, a powerful
corporation which has always con-
! trolled the city administrations The

PROGRAM APPROPRIATE
FOR HOT WEATHER TO BE
SHOWN AT THE MAJESTIC

Il Is hard to find program so we'll
adapted for hot weather as the one at
the Majestic for the first two days of

American picture, "A Mans Way" with
scenes taken in the cool mountains,
will surely drive dull care away and

The keystone comedy. when Reu-
ben Fools the Bandits" is a scream.
The handling of the role of a country
station agent all crippled up with rheu-
matism, stands out in this picture and
produces much laughter
The story of the feature, "A Mans
Way" is as follows.
Henry and Louise had gone through
college together. Afterward Henry
went out to pursue his career, that of
a geologist, meanwhile letting business
gradually crowd out Louise. who never
forgot to love him. On a vacation
Henry came in contact with an old
mountaineer and his young grand
daughter Gladys. a sweet, girlish prod
uct of the mountains. Soon interest
grew TO infatuation. Career was for
gotten. They We're married and very
