Virginia Her husband, Slavko Grouitch,
has been for a number of years in the
diplomatic service OF Servia, and only
recently was recalled from England to
fill an important government position at
Belgrade.
The enthusiasm which Nine. Grouitch
feels for her adopted country has greatly
endeared her to its people. Her speedy
action in raising funds with which the
Red Cross could alleviate the suffering
of Balkan soldiers has made of her
popular heroine in the Balkan states.
1t is recognized fact that Nine.
Grouitchs personal popularity at the
Court of st. James has been of great as
sistance to her husband. and indirectly
of value to Servia. The announcement
that she and her husband would soon
leave England for Belgrade was followed
by a round of entertaining among Lon
don's diplomatic corps in their honor
Among these functions was luncheon
given in honor of Nine. Grouitch by
American society women residing in Lon
don. Ambassador and Mrs. Walter Page.
Sir Gilbert and Lady Parker. the Nor
wegian minister and his wife and the
Japanese ambassador and his wife were
among those who attended.
Nine. Grouitch is a woman of broad
culture She has travelled all over the
world and is a cosmopolitan in the true
sense Of the word. She attributes much
of her success in foreign lands to the
careful training she received as a child
at her West Virginia home

Not long since, when the plucky little
Balkan states were in the throes Of war,
a woman with the gift of fluent speech
and with all her heart on the tip of her
tongue hurried across seas to America.
She held some conferences with Miss
Mabel Boardman. secretary of the Amert-
can Red Cross and then began a speak
ing tour in order to raise funds for the
Red Cross Society of the Balkan states
And always, if there was an audience OF
even three or four men and women, she
told about these states and their people
with an eloquence that brought them
close to her hearers. who found them
selves positively yearning to give money
to her cause.
Many a reader has guessed BY now,
perhaps, that this woman with the gift
of speech was Nine. Grouitch. She is
one of those American women Who
while residing abroad. are constantly
rendering a patriotic service to their ma
tive land by their loyalty to and enthu-
siasm for all things American.

snEKlNE HUNTERS VIEWS.

We take pleasure in publishing
the communication of Sheriff John
p. Hunter, relative to the blind tiger
evil, to be found elsewhere in this
issue. 1t contains many valuable
suggestions and we hope others will
follow Mr. Hunters example and
give their views as to how the EVIL
may be suppressed. An invitation
is extended to all of our citizens to
use the columns of The News in this
behalf.
We wish to emphasize two points
statement that had he the power he
would revoke the business license
of everybody doing business N Lam
caster that is suspected of selling
whiskey." The town council should
make a thorough investigation and
take away the license OF any person,
firm or corporation that is engaged
in the illicit sale of liquor.
AS to the second point, viz: That
liquor under the interstate COM
merce law is allowed to come into
the state. This, OF course, makes it
easier for the blind tiger to operate
than if no liquor were allowed to be
shipped into the state.
The next legislature can correct
this phase of the matter if it wants
to do so, by making the Webb ma
tional law, effective N South Caro-
lima. This would prevent liquor be-
ing shipped into this state We feel
assured that the author of the con-
tributed article, Uncle Hardy
Knows" had no idea, whatever, OF
rejecting upon Sheriff Hunter, as
every one knows that he is con-
scientious and fearless in the dis
charge of h s official duties. The
purpose of the article was to arouse
public sentiment in the community
so that something might be done to-
wards suppressing the blind tiger
evil.
