pENOUNcE GERMANS.

NEW YORK, May S.-General de-
nunciation of the sinking OF the Lust
tania yesterday appears in the New
York papers this morning. Here are
some Of the editorial views.
HERALD-Hencefort is interna
tional anarchy to be the controlling
factor in marine warfare? Henceforth
is piracy on the high seas to be rec
ognized and go unprotected and I'M
punished? Henceforth is the wanton
murder Of neutrals and noncombat'
ant passengers to be treated as re-
gretable incidents and go at that? 1t
is time OF gravity in American his
tory unmatched since the Civil War.
This cold-blooded, premeditated out
rage on colossal scale will cause such
q binding white light Of indignation
throughout the neutral portion Of the
world. unhappily growing smaller and
smaller, that there cannot conceivably
Re in Washington any thought of turn
ing back from the note to Germany
sent February 10.
WORLD-We venture to say that
no single act Of this conflict has so
outraged American opinion or so rid
died German prestige in this country
as the destruction of the Lusitania.
Z TRIBUNE-For every American cit
izen one fact will stand out clear and
beyond all else this morning. In de-
fiance not alone Of every principle of
International law, but Of every dictate
Of common humanity, American men,
women and children, citizens OF this
neutral nation, have been exposed to
death, have perhaps been actually
murdered, by German war craft. The
nation which remembered the sailors
of the Maine will not forget the civil.
ians Of the Lusitania!
PRESS-If facts prove to be as hor-
rible as 10 now indicated this human
SLAUGHTER will call for strong words
and yet stronger action. 1t may we'll
be that the hour has struck for Amer
lea to show the kind Of stuff there is
In her.
SUN-If no American lives had
been lost on the Lusitania the de-
struction of the ship does not even
come within the scope of our Govern
rent's warning and notification to
Germany concerning its actions In the
so-called war zone. Even if American
lives have been lost the case falls be-
hind that Of the Gulflight in import
ance and urgency. That 1t was pre-
mediatated we know; that it was reck-
less of innocent noncombatant lives
we are sure; and "dastardly" is the
word on millions of American lips this
morning

Drunken Negro Shot Mother.

York, Dec. 20. The first posi-
tive proof of the fact that John
Barleycorn has arrived in York
to spend the holidays was fur
nished last night when Anna
Pierce, a negress about rs years
of age, was shot through the
face by her son, Jim Pierce. 1t
appears that the son was drunk
and carelessly handling a pistol
when the weapon was dis
charged, the bullet striking his
aged mother. Attending physi-
clans say that the wound is a
very serious one, although it
will not necessarily pfove fatal.

But then, all the interest should
not center in the selection of
town officers. There are school
trustees to be elected and the
school is an institution in the
affairs of which the average
parent should feel quite as much
if not more interest than the
affairs of the town.

The Towns Progress.

Fort Mills municipal election
will be held on Tuesday, Janu-
airy II, 1916, and it is to be hoped
that the voters will exercise good
Judgment in the srlection of a
council to serve the town during
1867. The time is at hand
when factionalism, petty preju-
dice and personal grievances, if
there be such, be cast aside and
a set of progressive business men
put at the head of the towns af-
fairs. AS is well known by all
who are familiar with the finan-
ces of the town, present council
has had much on its hands in
the way of Indebtedness, the
bulk of this being for the pur-
chase of equipment for the fire
department at the completion of
our waterworks system. This
expenditure amounted to quite
sum and the town not having the
cash on hand was compelled to
buy the equipment on credit.
Our understanding now. howev-
er, is that present council has
about wiped out this indebted
ness and the town is again prac
tically out of debt. 1t might al
so be mentioned that little could
be done in the way of permanent
improvement during the pay
ment of this debt. But the in
coming council will not be handi-
capped in such manner and it is
but natural to suppose that most
of the towns surplus money
will be used to further the per-
manent improvements started a
few years ago. However. little
may be expected unless a set of
workers progressive men of
sound business judgment - be
elected. There are cases where
men are elected to office solely
because they are popular with
the masses. This is all wrong.
No man is fit for public Office, no
matter how popular personally
he may be, unless he possesses
that degree of good judgment,
business acumen and stamina
which is essential to properly
filling the office to which he as
pires. Figureheads or drones on
our city council will accomplish
nothing, and, as stated, our
voters should consider well the
fitness of each of the several
candidates before casting their
ballots in the coming election.
