tery--Slayer Escapes.

Pope Again Urges Peace.

Rome, Nov. 16.--The Pope to-day
caused to be published his announced
encyclical urging peace among the
warning nations oc Europe. In this
document the Pontiff attributes the
war to four causes, namely, lack Of
mutual and sincere love among men;
contempt OF authority; injustice on
the part Of one class of the people
against another, and the considera-
ton of material welfare as the sole
object OF human activity.
The Pope's appeal urging peace in
Europe follows pastoral letter from
the Pontiff issued early in September,
In which he exhorted the heads of
the nations engaged in hostilities to
end the present reign OF ruin, disas-
ter and bloodshed. The Pope then
said the spectacle of the conflict filed
him with horror and sadness. and
that he hoped not only for the end Of
this war, but OF all wars.

SAVE PEAS TO FOLLOW CORN.
Prepare to Sow Grain Stubblc to Cow
Peas Next Season.

Clemson ColleGe, Nov. 17.-Spe-
cial: State Demonstration Agent w.
w. Long, Of Clemson College, who
is now engaged in making tour Of
the State as a final course in the
grain campaign the extension divis-
ion Of Clemson College has conducted
this autumn, is eager for Soutr Car
olina farmers to realize the value of
their COW peas at this time and to
save al the COW peas they can get
their hands on. The reason FOR this
is that, in order to get the greatest
benefits from sowing their lands to
grain this winter, farmers Should SOW
the grain stubble to COW peas next
year. Land sown to oats or wheat
this autumn and to COW peas next
year will be in a greatly improved
condition a year from now.
Clemson's wheat propaganda will
be continued throughout November,
which is the best month to SOW wheat
in South Carolina. In many parts of
the State 1t may be sown up to De-
cember Is with good results. Mr..
Long states that all indications are
that South Carolina will have more
land sown to oats and wheat this
year than ever before in the history
Of the State. Both crops are expect
ed to bring record prices next spring.

FATAL BROOkLYN EXPLOSION.
Building Occupied by Chemical Com
pany Wrecked--Many Killed.

New York, Nov. 13.-From 12 to
80 persons were Killed and a num-
ber of others were injured in an ex-
riosion this afternoon in the Becker
Cl emical Company, Brooklyn. The
pla Mt was wrecked. The wrecking
".ew Of the fire department was call
ed to dig out the bodies.
The factory was large two-story
building. The explosion blew off the
roof and let the whole contents Of
the building, including the en-
ployees, fly in the air and then drop
into the cellar. Then came the fire
in the debris.
The cries OF the wounded caught
in the crash drove the firemen and
police to furious efforts to effect res
cues. The spreading flames hamper
ed their work. Owing to the fire
and the heat it was impossible for
the rescuers to dig for the bodies Of
the victims. At o'clock the police
reported that there were Sd persons
in the factory at the time Of the ex-
plosion. Only 8 had been accounted
for up to that time. AS fast as they
could be dug out they were rushed
to the hospitals. Twelve of the en-
ployees were taken out badly wound
ed. Officers OF the concern, the su-
perinIendent and foreman, were
caught in the crash.
The explosion was heard a mile
away. Every window in the block
and in the houses opposite the wo ks
were smashed. Operatives in five
story factory on the corner "
thrown into a panic and rushed -,
the street pell nell, but none was
hurt.
Furniture in homes nearby was
wrecked, dining tables overturned,
mirrors broken and the inmates fed
rbm their homes panic-stricken. A
horse and wagon stood in the street
in front OF the factory. The horse
was killed and the wagon turned up
side down.

There will be discussions on this
important work and its advantages.
Interest Is what brings success.

advice on what State and county fairs

we can have a county fair.

caught in a snare. There have al

way robbers" and there will always
be. Cotton growing is gambling

up "us boys" on every side in 1914.

merchant of Zion, in Marion county.
This deplorable affair Is deeply
shrouded In mystery, so far as re-
CARDS the actual cause Of the trag-
edy. Nobody seems to know any
thing about it, except that. it took
place after Strickland and Price had
been engaged in an alteration on
the streets of Mullins.

ing with before they can be satisfactorily
handled. After a good deal of experiment
the dressmakers have found that both
plaids and stripes look better In COM
bination with plain materials than they
look alone. So they are made into foun-
dation skirts and tunics. belts. collars,
cuffs, and revers, and seldom into whole
suits or frocks.
This decision on the part of the Dress
makers ought 20 dBaw attention TO the
fact that plaids cannot be promiscuously
used.

in spite of these houses IL is probable
that brilliant color is TO reign supreme
