BARbAR|C WARFARE
FEARED IN SERY|A
Atrocities of Balkan Conflict
will be Re-enacted, Say
Peace Commissioners.

Washington, Aug. 3.-1f the expe-
rience of the recent past is any guide
to the immediate future, the war be-
tween Austria-Hungary and Servia
will produce revolving scenes of bar
barity n saNagery.
During the Balkan wars the Car
negie Peace endowment sent an inter-
national commission to the countries
engaged in conflict. This commits
sion's report pictured ghastly condi-
tons and condemned the conduct of
Bulgarians, Greeks and Servians, to
say nothing of the Turks.
1t ~emphatically declared that per-
mament peace woul not result from
the strife; that the fundamental evils
responsible for var had not been re-
moved and that the time was bound
to come when hostilities would be re-
sumed.
United, the peoples Of the Balkan

even Scutari and Adrianople. they
took. and after a few months they al
most entered Constantinople. 1t was
thu end, the Gordian knot was cut.
"Disunited, they were forced to
come to a standstill and to exhaust
themselves further in their effort to
begin again, an effort indefinitely pro-
longed.
Religious Conflict Foreseen.
For, far from being a solution, the
second war was only the beginning of
other wars, or rather a continuous
war, the worst of all, a war of religion,
of reprisals. of races, a war of one
people against another, of mar
against man. and brother against
brother.
1t has become a competition as to
who can best dispossess and 'dena-
| ton his neighbor.
The Turks in any case remain in
Europe. Macedonia, no longer a
tomb. has become a hell. The race is
torn in pieces. Albania, erected into
a principality. remains the most un-
happy n the widest object of eager
watching of Austria. Servia, Monte

THE churches and the Christian
schools are fighting among them

their turn keep a close watch over the

May Cut Gables.
1t is not anticipated that the Ger
ma navy will be able to cut the
cables connecting England with Cana
da or the United States in the initial
stages of the war. But this certainly
will follow .ifithe German fleet should
be successful in the second stage Of
the war in driving in or defeating the
main English fleet. :
The English battle feet in the
Mediterranean probably will be with
drawn to the North sea, or English
channel, leaving the defense of the
Mediternean to the French entirely.
The English, will retain their torpedo
destroyers and submarines at Gibral-
tar, and. thus prevent a possible juno
ton by the Germans with the Austri-
ans nj Italians.
German Fleet Efficient.
I consider the German feet for its
size to1be in a more efficient condition
than the English fleet. Its inner
practice is excellent, being the main
part Of efficiency.

noted for efficiency. The French are

A call for the sheriff was sent In

and carried to the county Jail. The
two unknown white men who entered
the home with Harrison could not be
located. Young Killian Is q boy in
knee-trousers and the fearless man

from the home has been the cause Of
much comment. The boy said he

"They were drinking and annoying
my mother and sister. It was two
o'clock in the morning when they
came to the house. We had all gone
to bed when they banged on the door.
They called for Henry, my brother,
but were told he was not at home.
One of the men said from the outside
that he was cold and asked mama to
let him in. She got out Of bed, un-
bolted the door and built up a fire for
them to warm by.
AFTER sitting about the fire awhile
one Of the men took bottle Of whis-
key from his pocket, took a drink
and passed it to the other fellows.
They took several drinks apiece and
soon they began to curse and abuse
mama. I told them to leave the
house. They only laughed at me.
Harrison, who was drunker than the
others, picked up a chair and said he
was going to clean up the house.
Mama and my sister were so fright
ened they didn't know what to do.
When Harrison raised the chair I
leaped from bed, snatched a razor
from the mantlepiece and slashed
him across the throat"

WOULD GO INTO MEXICO
COLOUITT ASKS TO SEND RANG
ERS OVER BORDER.
Bryan Answers Telegram Assuring
Him That Such q Step Must Be
Taken by Washington Alone.

A request to know whom the
United States Government now recog'
nizes as the constituted authority IN
Mexican States bordering on the Ric
Grande" went forward late Thursday
to President Wilson from Governor
O. B. Colquit, of Texas. The request
was made for the purpose Of demand
ing the surrender Of the "abductors
and nurderers" Of Clemente Vergara,
Texas Citizen, executed by Mexican
Federals.
Then apparently answering the
question himsel, the Governor asked
consent Of the United States, I'm
view of the condition Of revolution
and anarchy in these borde- States,
to send Rangers across the RIO
Grande in pursuit Of the lawless ele'
ment of either faction when they
cross into Texas and commit crimes" ."
II insist, Mr.. President, that Texas
as a sovereisn Stato. Is entitled TO
protect Texan citizens on the border
from an unbearable condition like
that which now exists" concluded
the message.
Clemente vergara, the American
citizen, was assaulted by Mexican
Federal soldiers en- the Mexican side
of the Rio Grande and imprisoned at
Hidalgo February 13. Two days lat
er he was hanged from a tree three
miles from that city, and the body
left uncared for until two days ago,
when it was secretly removed.
This, it is stated, was established
to the satisfaction of United States
Consul Garrett and S. J. Hill, brother
in-law OF vergara, who went to HI
dalgo to investigate the death OF the
Texas ranchman.
Secretary Bryan telegraphed Gov
ernor ColQuitt, Of Texas, that the
sending Of the State militia into Mex
leo to apprehend those responsible
for the hanging Of Clemente Vergara,
an American citizen, would involve
a responsibility which the Federal
Government alone was in a position
to assume.
A similar situation arose In Texas
IN February, 1912, and February,
1918, when border troubles caused
Governor Colquitt to declare that he
might send Texas Rangers into Mex
leo either to prevent firing into Amer
ican territory or to protect Amer1-
cans. When on February "a, 1913,
Governor Colquitt ordered four COM
pan;es Of militia to Brownsville, the
war department telegraphed General
Steever, then in command Of the de-
partment of Texas, under no circum-
stances to permit their crossing OF
the river, except under the SPECIFIC
orders of the Secretary Of War"

ENTIRE SOUTH COVERED In B::G'
GEST FALL or YEARS
HEAVY IN This STATE
Bennettsville Reports Fall Of Seven
teen Inches-Charleston Gets Two,
While Other Places Vary Between
Six and Ten.-Trains Are Delayed.
Roof Falls In at BenneftSViile.

From far off New Orleans to Char
lesion harbor and from the noun
tains Of east Tennessee down to Saw
, annah and far into south Georgia
came tidings of snow. The state Of
South Carolina was covered from end
to end. Every sections OF the state
shivered in the grasp of King Win
ter. Charleston was covered under
two inches Of snow. The entire Pied
mont section experienced a heavy
snowfall.
Augusta reports ten inches OF snow
Columbia measured nearly eight and
Charlotte got of with two. Street
car service in Columbia and Augusta
was given up. Savannah and Mobile
report the first snow Of many years,
the Georgia town being covered with
two inches, while two short furries
were the best that the Alabama sea-
port could do.
The snow fall was severe in the
entire easter section Of South Caro-
lima, measuring from II to 16 inches
on the level, and in many places 50
to 80 inches In drifts. In Florence
the fall was IA inches. Clio in Marl-
boro county reports Il inches on a
level, and in some. places the drifts
are from four to six feet deep.
Business was practically suspended
in many towns throughout the State
Wednesday and to some extent on
Thursday. Schools were given up
and children everywhere enjoyed
themselves snowballing. Trains ran
from one to three hours late. Sew
eral trains on the Coast Line between
Florence and Orangeburg, known as
the "Shoo Fly" trains, were snow
bound and had to have big relief
engines to move them. Most of the
local freights were abandoned, as
well as all through -freights carrying
other than perishable stuff and live
stock. The telephone, telegraph and
electric light plants suffered very lit
tie, and the transportation Of light
and messages was unhindered.
Bennettsville measured seventeen
inches. A large garage and sale sta
BILE there COLLAPSED on account Of the
snow weight. The roof was large
fat one and the wind, banking the
snow against the front wall, caused
the roof Of the stable at that point to
dreak in. The damage to the build
ing and automobiles is heavy. About
thirty-fve mules and horses on the
basement boor were uninjured.
A dispatch from Walterboro says
that for the first time in sixteen years
snow is lying on the ground. 1t is
nearly four inches deep. Many citi-
zens express alarm for cattle in the
coastal section, and it is feared that
the excessive cold weather will re-
suit in the loss of a large number.
