ENGLAND INCREASES
NAVAL ESTIMATES

Over Two Hundred nd Fifty Millions
In Annual Naval Budget. Seventeen
Million Over Last Year.
London, March IA variant OH
tho naval holiday suggestion was pro-
duced by Winston Spencer Church
hill, first lord of the admiralty, in the
house Of Commons today. In introduc-
ing the naval estimates for 1914-15,
amounting to $257,750,00o, he said:
every delay, accidental or delibcr-
ate, by the next strongest Power to
England will be matched by us"
Admitting that the naval estimates
were the largest that had over been
submitted to the House, Mr.. Church
hill swallowed the pill by making the
suggestion that in the absence Of any
new departure the estimates for 1916
is would be substantially lower than
the present ones. which show an in
crease OF Sl7,5Oo,OOo over those OF
last year.
Mr.. Ghur"hhill reiterated that it
was the policy OF Great britain, to
complete oiGht hatUc spuadrona by
the time Germany had established five.
without caculating ships on Gorign
stations.
He explained that the Development
Of the German feet had not boon SO
rapid as had been anticipated owing
to difficulties in manning vessels
Great Britain, therefore, had been
enabled 70 postpone the completion Of
her Gibraltcr squadron, which now
consists of only four battlcships. Tho

POLITICAL STRAWS BLOWING.
(Spartanburg Journal.)

= . = = .
The political straws are blowing
about These straws indicate the sem
timent Of the voters Of the great Pied
mont section of South Carolina-They
tell story when studied.
The main interest in politics today
centered in John Gary Evans, attor-
ney of Spartanburg, former governor
OF South Carolina and several times
candidate for the United States SEN
ate.
Will John Gary Evans enter the
race for the United States senate in
opposition to Cole l.. Blease, COVER
nor and Ed. Smith, present member
Of the senate?
This was the question that was be-
ing asked in all sections of the state
and q definite announcement is cX-
pccted within tho next 81 hours.
II is known definitely that Gov.
Evans has had the senatorial situa-
ton under consideration for several
months? Recently he haas received
myny letters urging him IL outer tho
race ana it IS said that he has about
made UP his mind,
John Gary Evans is master as a
stump speaker. He is the equal Of

Turned Against Blease.

Down in Laurcns county one Of the
best known men in the county, who
has always supported the governor,
said that the peace jubilee with
Grace, turned him against Blease.
Senator Smith is in Washington
working away for the farmers His
friends declare that he Is the only
man in the past so years to be sent to
the United States senate that has
been friend for the farmer, working
for them In season and out Of sea-
son.
The farmer vote in South Carolina
Is the balance Of power. 1t Is not the
mill vote. That must be conceded in
large measure to the governor. Sen
ator Smith Is in thorough accord with
the Wilson administration He is in
position to "do things" for South
Carolina. lie has performed his task
as senator mcii, and his friends, be-
licvc that he ought to he given an
other term
The next big fight in South Caro-
lima politics will be for the control
Of the state democratic convention
which will be held in Columbia in
May. All are agreed that there should
be some change in the primary sys-
TEN. 1t should be placed above sus-
Dicion No white man should be kept
out, but every white man should be
prevented from voting more than
once. Hope OF primary reform was
lost early last season, because the
members Of the house and senate were
afraid Of the influence of the governor.
If the governor rides in the saddle
at the next state convention, then
there Will he no reform The same
old slipshod methods will be used. IF
the administration forces are success
full then the primary will be changed.
The state democratic executive com
mittce Will meet in Columbia this
spring to outline the itinerary for the
state campaign. The suggestion has
been made that only seven campaign
meetings be held, one in each con
gressional district. Of course the
candidates would object to such q
plan because they just naturally like

Smith lost for fouling help tighten the
sogginess of things.
1t may be that we, through too easy
a trail, are slipping little. 1t may
be that others, nurtured and strength
ened in defeat, are coming forward. Or
it may be that this is just one of those
years when Fate, with a chuckle turns
the expected upside down. Our optn-
ion is that America has taught the
world the lesson of yictory-the lesson
of careful training-of concentration
the lesson of dash and speed and ag-
gressiveness-and having absorbed
this lesson the rest of the world will
no longer be any field of easy con
quest. Which should mean a new stir
in competition and a far greater inter
est in international sport than the
past has ever known.

One thing l think we can reasonably
count on is that with the prostration OF
industry, with the blows to prosperity,
with the state of fiux that is likely to
follow this titantic struggle, there will
be every opportunity for common

the horrible expenditure of the blood

and the poor the opportunity and the
motive for a reduction of armament
and the taking away of a temptation

HANGED.
1t is an awful remedy, but in the end
it may be worth what it costs, if it
makes this the last great war. The

Change jor the Better in the
New Fall Fashions

In the September Woman's Home
Companion, which is a fashion fore
cast number, Grace Margaret Gould
the well-known fashion editor, pre-
sents great array of news and sug-
gestions which she introduces with the
following general comment on the new
fall fashions:
Good friends, a change for the bet
ter has taken place in the fashions!
"The American woman this fall will
be permitted to wear clothes that fiji

retired and loose and careless ha
made way for 1.-the and careful.
The SLOUGH has retreated, as it i:
the very nature of a SLOUGH to retrea
while the new style, trim and cree.
has marched in to victory.
Women are to have backbones thi:
season. They are to have arms again
clearly defined ones, l mean.
Hips are coming into their own
They are to be fashionable.
''And the waist line is to put in ar
appearance again. The dear old waist
line, which brings back memories OF
the tight, prim basque, and the encir-
cling arms of affectionate husbands.
But perhaps the best news of all
am keeping for the last. Women are tc

A Minister'S Experience With
Women

In the September Woman's Home
Companion a minister begins a series
of articles in which he is going to re-
late his experiences with women. The
first story in his series is the story of
"The Woman Who Came in the
Night"-a woman in deep trouble who
came for counsel and advice. In a
general way the minister comments as
follows on his experience with wo-
men:
Il suppose have known twenty-five
thousand women in my nearly thirty
years of ministry. There have been all
kinds of women, as there have been all
kinds of men; but as look back over
the years, the women show up rather
more favorably than the men.
so long as the world is as it is, he
who enters upon the work of the min
istry must expect that more than a
half of his time and effort will be
claimed by women; at least in the par
!shes where ordinary conditions pre-
vail. In that respect the minister is
not different from the musician, or the
actor, the lecturer, or the popular au-
.hor. The proportion of women in
church congregations is not so over
Whelming by any means as the pro-
portion of women at concerts, or the
theater, nor among the readers of new
books. Women have leisure for these
finer things of life, as their harried
and driven husbands do not; and in
their church attendance there is an
other influence more potent even than
their leisure. Spiritual insight Of the
truer sort is the peculiar birthright of
good women; they are the preservers
OF reverence, the transmitters of vision
to the muscled men who are their
sons"

Conquerers From Europe

(GIdntland RlCe IN C0lllerS.)
There are certain occasions when
enough is entirely too much, if not
even more superhuous. The victory
of the Oxford relay team was held to
be probable. 1t was generally ex.
pected that England would outpoint us
at golf Our polo defeat was a bit
startling, but it was generally conced-
ed that in sport many things might
happen.
But since the heroic rays of John l..
Sullivan and Kid Lavigne Americas
supremacy in the prize ring had been
unquestiOned, From the featherweight
on through the mastodon class Amer
lea had ruled by greater power and
greater skill-barring the brief reign
of Robert the Red of Cornwall, other
wise known as Fitzsimmons. And he
had shifted his home to American soil.
So with the slump of our other
champions it was expected that the
successors to Sullivan, Corbett, JEFF
fries-to Layigne, McGovern, Britt,
Nelson and WOlooe+ uou1d il, q lac,
high-browish realm of sportdom
achieve revenge. Vain hope-fantastic
dream. The landslide moves apace.

brow. And as this blow falls our best
