AFTER OCT. 81
AND FROM THE PRESENT OUT
LOOK, MANY WILL HAVE SAID
PENALTY APPLIED, AS RE-
cEIPTs YESTERDAY WERE
VERY SMALL.

A penalty Of fifty per cent will be
exacted in the payment OF city licenses
after October 81, according to an
nouncenent at the ONCE of the city
clerk yesterday, and unless the fee
required by the city to do business in
the line which one may be engaged
is not paid before that time, a stiff
cash penalty will be enforced and coll
lected.
Should payments, therefore, be de-
ferred after the first Of next rnontA,
not only will the penalty be exacted
it was stated, but all not provided with
proper licenses are subject to arrest
and fine. The usual procedure has
been to allow a defendant go provid-
ing licenses are secured. but thb in
convenience and trouble in being hale1
into the city court greatly adds to the
desire to avoid all such.
Receipts for licenses yesterday were
exceedingly small They were, in facr,
the smallest in any one day for the
new fiscal year. Up to 5 o'clock less
than $500 had been paid the clerk,
when ten times that amount had bean
expected. None Of the saloons have yet
taken out their licenses to do business,
and numberless lines of business have
not as yet been licensed to do busi
ness for the ensuing year.

Horace Plato married his stenog-
rapher, Florence Lloyd, a pretty young
widow, and in his heart he loved her.
Yet Horace maintained an attitude Of
simple friendship toward his wife, re-
fusing to be anything other than
brother, as it were. That was his plea
of Platonic love Horace believed aim
self lineal descendant Of the phi
Iosopher, Plato, and it was his am
bition to demonstrate to the world
that love, in its purest sense, dis
counted sex-in fact, everything eX-
cept the mental companionship Of two
souls whose thoughts Vtbrated TO the
same tune Of reasoning.
Have you ever met SUCH a person
as this? No. Well, there are plenty
Of them in the world. They call them
selves apostles of Plato, and in their
poor deluded hearts they believe them
selves above all the human passions
which have always guided the world
in it's mating.
Young Mrs. Plato held different ideas
than her husband, though she appeared
to concede his viewpoint. Once mar
ried, she set out to win this man
as a practical lover and husband.
Whether she accomplished this, the
trying events which, for time, seemed
to threaten the happiness Of two nor

TURKS FACE HARD

BY ASSOCIATED Press.

Washington, Oct 9.-The alternative

whether the Dardanelles are to be
swung open in answer to the demand
of the triple entente or whether the
key to the Black sea is to remain in
Turkish possession promises to force
the porte to join the European strug-
gle, according to opinion oppressed in
diplomatic circles here today.
At the Turkish embassy 1t was ad-
nitted that it might prove highly M
barrassing to the sultan to be forced
to commit himself on such a request.
Officials stated that unless no other
course was open, it was highly un-
likely that Turkey would submit to a
change in its own policy because of
outside influence.
Diplomats conversant with the Bal
kan situation stated that so far as
the countries now in action were con-
cerned, equilibrium is still safely main
tanned, notwithstanding Bulgaria 9

garia, according to a statement, made
by Turkish officials is closely allied
with Turkey and if Turkey were drawn
into the struggle, Bulgaria will fight

INSPIRED BY KING.
The fierce resistance Of Antwerp's
defenders on the Scheldt was partly
inspired by the presence Of King AL
bert himself, says the Client corre-
spondent Of the Chronicle in a dis
patch under Thursdays date. The re-
peated German attacks aimed at the
line Of defence proved futile and the
German retirements were attended
with considerable losses.
king Albert retains command Of
his troops" the dispatch says, "and is
continually in the field directing opera
tions, an example almost galvanic in
its effect to his brave forces.
The batteries were engaged in a
brisk duel, while on our side the ma
chine guns were also hard at work
This continued for some hours The
Germans for a time did not succeed
in locating the Belgian batteries and
it was amusing to watch their shells
exploding, as a rule in any but the
right places
EARLY in the afternoon, however
they sent an aeroplane over the Bel
gian lines and positions and shortly
afterwards their shells began to drop
in inconvenient places. The BeIgians
found that they weer being overpow-
cred and orders were given to with
draw from their positions
1T must be remembered that the
whole Of this country is covered by
villages and ham1ets and hope I may
not again see scenes similar to what
then occurred. These poor peasants
hold on to their homes to the last
moment and when the end comes there
is confusion
"The retirement of the guns and in
fantry meant of course that in a very
short time the Germans would be on
the ground and the narrow road rum
ming back from the bank of the ScAeIdt
and villages Of Berlaerre were soon
blocked by field guns, ammunition
wagons and ambulances vans while
the infanry made their way back as
quickly as possible
A BRITISH VICTORY.
The Times correspondent south of
the Aisne says:
"At one center-and that the most
important-the British victory on the
river Aisne is complete. The Germans
have evacuated their trenches. Two
salient events marked the fighting Of
which scissors was the center First,
the capture by the allies Of Fort Conde
after a sixteen days siege, and, sec-
ond, the remarkable slaughter by the
British in the last of a series of Ger
man attacks.
1T is agreed that wherever the Ger
mans dealt severe havoc to the allies
around this position their success was
due wholly to spy system. The allies
soon found the Germans were able to
diagnose their movements and insti
tuted a search for offenders. They cap
tured seven spies, one a woman who
used electric fashlight signals from
window
THE battle of the Aisne is not al
together over even now but in the
past few days considerable areas have
been deserted by the Germans and
great wedges of the allies forces
thrown forward

Senator Nicholson's Primary Bill.

While Senator Nicholson was in
Edgefeld Monday the editor of The
Adver tiser asked him as to the out
look for the passage of his measure
looking to safeguarding the prima-
ry, and he is hopeful that it will
become a law. While of course it
has called forth considerable oppo-
sition, yet it is not drastic and no
reasonable objection can be brought
against it. 1t is not Mr.. Nichol-
sons purpose to exclude any white
man from the primary. There is
no clause in the measure which can
be construed as taking the ballot
from any white man. 1t does under
take to regulate the primary
election 80 as to preclude fraud and
dishonest practices. Every honest
white voter ought to give his un-
qualified endorsement to meas
ure having for its purpose the pre-
servation of the ballot box. Under
our system of government, that of
majority rule, every citizen should
be concerned about having all elec-
tions honestly conducted. We hope
MIR. Nicholson's bill will become
law.
