Put His Own Money In.

Before the passage of the present

starting a bank was a comparatively
simple proposition. The surprising

we'll illustrated by the story a pros
porous country-town banker told on

Well" he said, Il didn't have
much else to do, so rented an emp

bia by Chief of Police W. c. Bass.
The hounds arrived here this morn
ing, having been brought through
the country in an automobile. They
took the trail and went directly to
the home of Harvey Bethea. negro

Make Daring Raid On German Air.
ship Station at Dusseldorf.

London. Oct l0.-The followin
official statement has been issued
covering an attack by British air
squadron on a German airship shed
at Dusseldorf.
The secretary of the admiralty
announces that Squadron Commander
Grey reports that, as authorized, he
carried out with Lieut.. R. L. G. Mark
and Lieut.. S. V. Sippe successful
attack on a Dusseldorf airship shed.
Lieut.. Marks bombs dropped from
a height of 500 feet, hit the shed,
went through the roof and destroyed
a Zeppelin.
Flames were observed 500 feet
high, the result of the igniting of the
gas of an airship.
"All three officers are safe, but
their aeroplanes have been lost.
THE feat would appear to be in
every respect remarkable, having re-
gard to the distance of over 100
miles penetrated into country held
by the enemy and to tile fact that a
previous attack had put the enemy
on their guard and enabled them to
mount anti-aircraft guns"

CLOSE DIsPENsARIEs.
Correspondent Suggests That Legis-

the Editor of the State:

To the Editor of the State:
Please allow us prominent space
in your columns for the following
suggestions, viz: First, that you
make a suggestion Gin the shape OF
a proclamation through the columns
of your paper that petition go up
from every county in this State
where there are dispensaries to the
general assembly during the special
session to convene tomorrow, If con-
stitutional, that the dispensaries IN
each county be closed so long as the
war in Europe shall continue. Sec
ond, so that during our dire distress
caused by the said terrible war, MAX
ing our only money crop so very
much below the cost of production,
and also causing the price of provis-
ions to be so very high. Third, we
are much of the opinion II we could
have a lay enacted by petitions from
each county to the legislature fully
indorsing a suggestion from your
valued columns to frame and pass
such a bill as above mentioned rela-
tive to the dispensary, that our work
ing men and common laborers, who
spend much of the fruits of their la
bor for strong drink. would be great
ly benefited and under such an act
the unfortunates, both white and
negro, would be able to spend more
of their earnings for more and better
clothing and to provide for their
families better, yes, in a thousand
ways, and would be able to pay their
taxes $50 much needed, and many
other outstanding obligations so
much needed at this time by their
creditors. with their dispensary saw.
ings.
Fourth, if the State could or would
close the dispensary say for even
four or six months with the Webb
law restrictions to allow no whiskey,
brandy. wine, beer or any other kind
of intoxicants to come into our State
during this financial distress which
we are having all over our State, the
change in a general way Of the cor
ditions would simply be beyond our
conceptions.
Fifth, you might further suggest
whom YOU think best to execute these
petitions.
Sixth, I am satisfied that every
Christian gentleman in South Caro-
lima would at this time gladly sign
such a petition; in fact, | am OF the
opinion that every church member

Of the various denominations who
loves his church and humanity would
gladly sign such a petition particu-
larlv at a time like this.

In one of the big Western cities
where the young people are prepared
for college at spaendidly equipped
high school, the teachers noticed a
wave of extravaganza sweeping over
the girls and boys. The girls were
overdressing at the dances, and the
boys were spending too much money
in order to keep up with these pretty
frccks and frills. Carriages and can
dy, violets and matinees, tea rooms
and motor rides were making faith
ers and mothers look serious, and
in more homes than one there were
sulky boys, talking about tightwad
parents.
The teachers at the high school
practical men and women, took the
the matter in hand. There was 2
large class in domestic science and
household economics. The teachers
specialized on budgets. First came
the budget of the boy or girl paying
for all clothing and incidental eX-
penses with an allowance; second
the budget of a young man earning
ten. fifteen and twenty dollars a
week, showing how much each had
left for recreation and entertaining
and finally the budget Of a young
husband making twenty-five dollars
week. From the fascinating task
of finding out how the boys divided
I'D the money they got, the girls pass
ed to 2 realization of how little the
boys had left to spend on them. They
began to realize that carriages and
violets for parties. matinees and tea
room taneoine could not possibly be
paid for by the boy on the average
salary. Somebody was going into
debt that they might ride and dance:
and, being wholesome, right-thinklns
American girls, they proceeded to re-
form the social life of that high
school, They tasted the joy which
comes of the courage to say NO.

GERMANS PRESS TO WEST
6EitilAN GOVERNMENT MOVES
INTO FRANCE.
No Material Change Reported From
Battle on the Aisne, Which Still
RageS.

Inc removal Vi tile be!Sldu So'-
ernment to France. indicating the
westward movement OF the German
armies in Belgium; the continuance
of the great battle along the line of
the Aisne river and far out toward
the channel shores, and the contra
dictory reports of operations in the
eastern theatre of the European war
constituted the most noteworthy de-
velopments in the news of yesterday.
That the Germans were moving
westward toward Ostend was shown
not only in dispatches from the con-
tinent, but in the announcement of
the transfer of the Belgian govern
ment to Havre.
The battle on the Aisne continues,
with no appreciate change, so far
as can be ascertained, the embattled
armies are making good their posi-
tions despite attacks.
In the east, Russian authorities
deny that they have abandoned the
siege of Przemysl, but the general
opinion is that the Russian armies
have fallen back to await the attack
of the Austro-German troops. -.
The official statement issued in
Paris declares the allies are making
progress along nearly the entire line
of battle.
It has been decided to remove the
Belgian government to France. King
Albert. however, will remain with his
troops in the field. Belgian officials
already have left Ostend for Havre.
The Germans occupied Client and
German aviator dropped bombs on
Ostend.
The eastern arena of the war has
recorded no particular activity other
than continued preparations for de-
cisive combat in Russian Poland
along a battle front which probably
will extend from Kalisz to Lodz, to
Piotrkow to Kielce and to Busk, in
Galicia. Germany claims to hold all
the western part of Russian Poland
with the exception of Warsaw, and
it is becoming clear that the Ger
man military operations in the east
ern theatre are being concentrated
in Poland.
Vienna declares that the entire
Russian force investing Przemysl has
been withdrawn. Russia makes no
reference today to the situation at
Przemysl, but it is reported Russian
forces are continuing to advance in
east Prussia and that the soldiers OF
Emperor Nicholas hold the entire dis
trict of Lyck.
The Kaiser Wilhelm canal, accord
ing to an Amsterdam report, has
been closed to ordinary traffic for the
duration of the war.
Prince George, Of Servia, brother
of the crown prince, is reported to
have been mortally wounded.
Martial law has been declared
throughout the Union of South At
rica as result of the discovery of a
rebellion in the northern part Of the
cape province, which adjoins Ger
man southwest Africa. Lieutenant
Colonel Maritz, a Boer officer, to-
sether with a number of his officers
and men, has gone over to the Ger
man forces of the German protector
ate and is in rebellion against the
government of the Union.
The proclamation Of martial law
declares there is reason to believe
that the government of German
southwest Africa is endeavoring to
corrupt other citizens of the Union
with promises of the establishment
of republic in South Africa.
