the Northwest as the Irish Prince"
because of his liberality and big-heart-
edness. is the chief actor. He is the
builder of railroads. His magnetic
personality removes obstacles. He is
untiring in his efforts but he is an
honest business man.
In direct contrast we see Curtis
Gordon. also builder of railroads. He
builds by rObbing innocent stock
holders He is daring advertiser and
the very boldness of his tactics covers
Up the imitation and the instability of
his methods.
The love part of the novel is subor-
dinated to the problem the author
wishes to set forth. Eliza Appleton,
Seattle newspaper woman, goes to
Alaska to 'write-up" the robbers at
close range. O'Neil. offers his camp
to her as a good place for such obser-
ration. since he is one of the suspi-
ciOus characters. The romance of
these two strong people follows.
The story does not lack i'm humor but
there is no room for frivolity in this
novel. To gain this end the author
has sometimes sacrificed the perfec-
lion of technicality and the polish of
well-written story. (Harper &

Synonyms and AntOnyms..


Miss Edith B. Ordway in Synonyms
and Antonyms," has compiled practi-
cal list of words in common use. They
are so arranged as to be of easy ref
erence, and the book is not bulky.
There are five thousand or more of
the leading words in her list Follow
ing each of these words is a list of
synonyms and antonyms, the latter
printed in italics so as to be easily
distinguishable. The short preface ex-
plains the use of the book in such
way as to make it a cross index of
itself in looking for words and in sug-
gesting derivatives of those found
there. In this way the book treats of
more words than are really in it, at
the same time keeping the list simple
and the size of volume small.
1t is a very good working list.

ATTACKED IN REAR.
Lexington Teamster Tries to Cut st.
Matthews Man.


Mr.. D. n. Smith, a large dry goods
merchant of St Matthews, has re-
turned from visit to his old home in
Soluda county, and tells Of a vivid
experience with an infuriated team
ster in Lexington county, near New
Brookland, on his way down. Mr.
Smith says that as he motored Up to
the wagon from behind he "honked'
vigorously, but the driver ignored
the warning and the machine was
switched around on low gear, when
the fender grazed the breast chain OF
the off mule, causing some alarm to
the team, but no damage.
He continued in low gear through a
sand stretch and was amazed to find
a cold hand in the back of his collar
and knife suspended over his head.
With presence Of mind he says he
caught the suspended arm with one
hand and with the other pushed his
assailant from the back of the car.
His companion, sister, took charge
of the steering wheel and avoided a
telephone pole in the mix-up. Mr..
Smith is one of the most peaceful
citizens and careful motorists in this
section and was as much surprised at
the occurrence as were his friends.

THINKS SOUTHERN SINCERE.
TilIman Believes Railways Will Build
Pier at Charleston.

The announcement of A. P. Thorn,
general counsel for the Southern rail-
way, that the company Immediately
would construct coal pier at Char
lesion, came as surprise to the sub
committee Friday and is regarded by
Senator Tillman, who instituted the
present investigation, as an indica-
ton sthat the Southern railway is
willing to grant concessions.
''The Clinchfeld is already build
ing a pier at Charleston" said 7Sena-
tor Tillman. "The Southern has
made many promises heretofore. It
has been in control Of the Virginia
coal fields for ten years without af-
fording an outlet at Charleston, but I
think the company is sincere in its
promise for an immediate outlet. The
Southern bought the Magnolia GENE
terry site for a pier just the day after
the Senate passed the resolution for
an investigation of Southern coal
rates and I think the South is about
to enjoy privileges it should have had
long ago."
TIE coal rate from the Virginia
coal fields to Charleston s2.05 a ton
fors coal to be transhipped. This is
the same rate that Pennsylvania and
West Virginia coal enjoy at tidewater
in New York, Baltimore, Norfolk and
other points north Of Norfolk. Char
lesion is much nearer than New York
to Cuba, which consumes a large
amount Of coal. ->... d.

name as declaring that export busi-
ness in wheat from the United States
already had been paralyzed. To a
lesser degree, the same statement ap-
piled to all dealings in wheat espe-
cialiy speculative transactions. One
of the consequences was the action
OF prominent firms on the board Of
trade in giving their pit agents orders
"to take furlough".
Business which three days ago was
counted in millions of bushels dwln-
died at times tc almost the vanishing
point. Hazard of being whipsawed
out Of fortune by the chance OF a
moment proved too much for even
the most seasoned traders. The prin-
cipal efforts seemed to be directed to
keeping would-be investors out OF the
market.
It was pointed out that practically
all the ocean-carrying tonnage was
owned by foreign capital, was sub
iect to government use for army
transports and that grain laden YES
sells in the case of a general war
would be the most keenly sought prey
of hostile fleets. In other words, it
was said, the United States largely
would lose it's foreign outlet, and be
powerless to prevent the piling up OF
wheat at terminal markets, the pos
sible blockading OF railway tracks or

COTTON HAS BIG DROP
New York and New Orleans Report
Break Of SIS a Bale.

bTSdh VI s1c a oH@S'
Cotton broke $3.50 to s5 bale in
New York Thursday in one of the
most sensational markets since the
Sully campaign. In two months the
price has declined So to s12 a bale.
The collapse was due to the fact that
in the event of general European
war, domestic markets would have to
absorb and finance most of this year S
cotton CROP
Not in recent years has the New
Orleans cotton market broken as bad
ly as it did Thursday on reports from
Europe portraying a more menaclns
situation as the day wore on. 1t the
lowest prices were 50 to 81 points be-
low the close Wednesday, but in the
last few minutes the market took a
slight brace on profit taking sales and
closed II to 80 points down, or at an
average Of about 81 bale.
First sales were at dollar a bale
less than the closing Wednesday. The
decline from the level was gradual
until at noon the market was 81 tc
SO points down. The decline then
seemed to be checked for time, but
no material advance could be made
Within a few minutes after it was
announced that Germany had de-
manded Of Russia an explanation OF
her intentions, prices went 90 point:
farther down.

DEFENDS TREATY.

Bryan Without mentioning Col.

growing out the separation of Pana-
ma and acquisition Of the canal zone
by the United States. , ....
Reiterating his declaration that in
considering the treaty it is not neces-
sary to examine the merits of the con-
troversy over the action Of the United
States in 1903, the secretary urged
that even if the United States in &C
quiring the canal zone was exercising
a right of liability for actual DAM
ages resulting to Columbia.

EXPECT PEACE SOON
MEXICAN FACTIONS WILL GET
TOGETHER SHORTLY.
President Wilson is Hopeful Of Peace
full Solution Between Carranza and
Carbajal.

Referring to the Mexican situation
generally President Wilson Thursday
described the outlook for peace as
"entirely encouraging Advices
from every quarter to the Washing
ton government show trend toward
the restoration Of tranquility
throughout the republic. The Zapa-
ia faction now is working in harmony
with the Constitutionalists.
! With the arrival at Saltillo of Pres
ident Carbajal's peace delegates it is
expected Gen Ca-ranza will order an
armistice. Washington government
officials believe the peace parleys will
be concluded to the satisfaction Of all
concerned within few days.
Direct word from Gen. Venustiano
Carranza, announcing that "if Car
bajal offers to surrender conditionally
I believe the present situation in Mex
leo will soon be satisfactorily solved,
came Thursday night to the Consti-
tutional junta in Washington.
Carranza's message-date Tam
pico-directed Rafael Zubaran, head
of the agency, to deny any reports
that he was endeavoring to place diff
fculties in the way Of establishing
peace. Members of the Constitution
.alist agency said they interpreted the
reference to unconditional surren-
der" as a reiteration Of Carranza's in
sistence that he would not recognize
the Carbajal government as legally
established.
They predicted that the question of
amnesty and guarantees for the Fed
erals would not be a STUN bling-block
during the forthcoming parleys over
the transfer of government because,
they said, people in the territory once
controlled by Huerta now placed con-
fidence in Carranza's s assurances that
he would attend no wholesale repri-
sails when he entered the City Of Mex
leo.
Efforts were made by the United
States to influence Gen. Carranza to
bring about an immediate armistice.I
in Mexico. This action followed an
appeal from Provisional President
Carbajal to the effect that further
fighting not only was unnecessary
but inhumane in view Of the certain
success of the peace negotiations"
Secretary Bryan telegraphed John
R. Silliman, personal representative
of President Wilson with Carranza,
urging a suspension of hostilities. The
situation from the viewpoint Of Car
bajal was outlined in the following
statement:
provisional President Carbajal is
fully resolved to carry out negotia-
tions on the general basis already
agreed upon. His delegates should |
arrive in Saltillo tomorrow and be-
gin conferences Immediately with
Gen. Carranza. It is the unalterable |
purpose of Mr.. Carbaja1 to turn over
the government in a peaceful and dig
nifed way"

WAR CALLS ARE SENT
AUSTRIA AND SERVIA WANT
THEIR NATIVE SONS.
The Natives of Those Countries Clash
at Gary, Ind; Joliet, ILL.,, and In
Los Angeles, Cal.

A proclamation calling upon al
patriotic Austrians, Hungarians anc
Coatians to forward their addresses
at once to their nearest consulate has
been forwarded for publication to al
Ipro-Austro-Hungarian newspapers
throughout the United States BY
Charles Winter, who is in charge OF
the Austro-Hungarian consulate in
New York city.
The proclamation contains the am
nesty proposal announced Tuesday
lat the consulate it was said returns
were expected from all Austrian sub
jects who had received special or in
dividual calls to arms. These reserv-
lists, it was said, would be the first to
be sent over, then will come the 9TH
ers who have answered the general
mobilization call.
No official word has as yet been re-
ceived at the Servian consulate at
New York concerning mobilization
calls. This was accounted for by the
fact that ali cable messages from
servia must come through Italy and
Austria and therefore may have been
stopped in transit.
Thus far the war clouds overhang-
ing Europe have not greatly affected
bookings for European ports. About
400 Austrians and Servians sailed on
the Ia Savoie. Cable advices from
Paris and London made public indi-
Gated thousands of American tour
lists were awaiting Developments be-
fore continuing trips eastward
The large foreign quarter Of Gary,
Ind, of steel workers is afame with
war excitement. The New York con-
sui has telegraphed the 5000 Ser
vians to prepare for war. Greek and
Servian women have organized Red
Cross League and have collected So
900. Wednesday night there was
big Servian and Greek demonstra-
ton, hundreds Of men and women
parading the streets singing patriotic
songs.
Two Austrians were probably ia
tally injured in fight with Servians
at Los Angeles, Cal, early Wednes-
day. According to accounts given the
police several Austrians were attack
ed by Servians, the leaders crying
eve will kill all Austrians before
they go back to fight u.s." A mob
quickly gathered but was dispersed
by police. a number OF arrests were
made.
Austrians and Servians in the large
foreign settlement of steel mill en-
ployees at Joliet, ILL.,, were wrought
to a high pitch Wednesday and police
guards were increased as a result OF
a clash Tuesday night in which many
shots were fred. The riot broke out
when a mass meeting Of Servians was
invaded by several hundred Austrlans
who jeered the speakers. Fighting
began with fists and clubs and the
mob poured into the street where
revolvers were drawn. The police
say that wounded persons were con-
cealed by their friends.

RUSSIA AOBILIzES TROOPS FOR
fighting In AUSTRIA
GERMANY GETTING READY
Russian Government Makes Plain Its
Intention Regarding Servian Terri
tory-Army is Sent Towards Aus
trian Frontier-Germany is Ex'
nected to Take a Hand Soon.

No effort is now made by St. Pet
ersburg officials of the Russian gov
ernment to conceal their belief that
the European war crisis is much
worse. It was stated at the foreign
Office that notes had passed between
the German and Russian governments
In the endeavor to arrive at some
understanding that would make 1t un-
necessary for Russia to intervene
forcibly in the quarrel between Aus
tria and Servia.
The Cars government supported
the proposal of Great Britain for a
conference which should take up the
complaint made by Austria and cause
Seryia to give adequate guarantees
Of good behavior. Special represen-
tationes were made to Germany to
get its support for this plan so that
Austria might be brought to consent
to it.
Germany's reply to the proposal
has been received It was refusal
to agree to the conference on the
ground that the conflict between Aus
tria and SerTia concerned these two
nations alone. Russia's answer was
soon given. Germany was told that
II Austria should invade Servia, then
Russia would Immediately order a
general mobilization of her military
forces, to be followed by war.
The Gar received a long message
from Emperor William urging that II
would be least disastrous to Europe
If Austria and Servia should be per-
mitted to settle their quarrel without
interference. The Car Immediately
repIied, rejecting the proposal, as
serting that Russia would enforce the
integrity Of Servian territory as II 1t
were Russian.
Demonstrations of patriotic and
pro-Serb feeling, which had been dis
countenanced and suppressed for two
DAYS, are being encouraged under the
direction of Minister of Interior Max
aroR. These meetings are the only
ones excepted from the prohibition
against public gatherings issued IN
consequence of the recent strike.
Shipping has been warned tnat
Russia is preparing to invade Austria.
The war Office has taken control OF
all the railroads leading to the Ger
man and Austrian frontiers. Mines
have been laid in the Baltic ap-
proaches to Russian ports and the
mort lights have been quenched.
