The Savages need to win three or
four games in a row to give them
confidence. Confidence is an asset
every good ball player must have in
his tool kit. Without it he is sure
to boot the ball and certain to have
a low batting average. And a pen
nant winning team is usually one in
which every player on it has conf
dence in every other player.

BILE yesterday from the State Depart

Friendly, but firm, terms, it is

the future safety Of American lives.
Austr.a-Hungary has never informed
the United States whether the COM

given instructions similar to those
which the German government gave

In dispatchmg the note Secretary
Lansing acted with the approval of,
and after consulting with, President
Wilson. 1t is stated authoritatively
that the document, which is de-
Scribed as being comparatively brief
and decidedly vigorous in tone, was
so drafted as TO attempt a settlement
Of the controversy at once. without
bringing on series Of communica-
tions such as followed the sinking Of
the Lusitania.
High officials are said TO be Of the
opinion that the situation is one
which calls for grave consideration.

MUSHROOM TOWN OFHOpEWELL
Young Oconeean Writes of Country
Where Towns Grow i'm Day.

The following letter from G. II.
Holland, a son of Rev. NJ. G. Holland,
of Walhalla, will be read with inter

Cially so since the reports have come
of the total destruction of Hopewell,

A Real Mushroom Town.
Hopewell, Va, Dec. 3.-Editor
Keowec Courier: Probably some of
the people Of Walhalla will be inter
eSted in hearing Of the great guncot-
ton plant at Hopewell. There are
about 60 cars Of guncOttOn shipped
from here every day. This great
plant covers about six miles square,
and contains ten units in operation.
Three are under construction. There
are seven nitric acid plants in opera
tion and two under construction.
phuric acid plants in operation, and
four of the largest boiler houses in
the South
This company uses thousands and
thousands OF pounds Of cotton and
no end Of nitrate OF soda. They have
nearly $4,000 men employed in con-
struction and about $4,000 in ope-
rating. One finds men here from all
over the world-Greeks, Italians,
Russians-vel. few ermans-some
Canadians and very few Spaniards.
There are more Americans here from
Carolina than any other two States
Of the Union.
We have $50 policemen, who are
employed by the Dupont Company,
and then the mushroom town Of
Hopewell has its force Of about 30.
One can go out in Hopewell in the
morning and will Sc a tent stretch
ed, and that evening. should one
travel the same territory, he will
likely see a store with full line Of
groceries.
These people have built three viii
lagos. One is called "A-Near City
Point" 1t has about 300 houses.
Then there is the "B-Village," nearly
mile from there, at Hopewell, Va.
1t will have 900 houses when it is

At the outset the President said he
wanted the members to feel that they
were a part Of a big family, OF which
he was a member. lie asked whether
any one present could suggest any
campaign argument other than the
tariff, which the Democratic opposi-
ton could advance. and they shook
their heads. Nobody knew at this
time, he added, what sort of tariff
measure must be framed to meet
changed conditions resulting from
the war.
Discussing parties and policies
generally, the President insisted that
the Democratic view was that the ma

opponents was that board Of trus-

PRESIDENT WILSON OPTIMISTIC.
Republicans Have Nobody Home But
Tariff, and It's All In.

Washington, Dec. S..-President
Wilson told members OF the Demo
cratic National Committee at a
luncheon in the Senate dining room
of the White House to-day that the
Republicans had no issue for the next
campaign except the tariff, and that
Democracy was certain to win.
"Our constructive work has started
an irresistible movement, which can
not be stopped" he declared. "Any
one who tells you otherwise is talk
ing through his hat"
Mr. Wilson said nothing to indi-
cate whether he would again be a
candidate for the Presidency.
throughout his entire talk, which
dealt with subjects ranging from
Democratic chances Of victory to fea-
lures OF the isolated" life OF a Chief
Executive, the President was infor-
NAL. Taking his place at the head
OF the table, he thrust his hands into
his trouser pockets, cast aside what
he termed his dress parade" Ian
guage and talked freely and conf
dentially.
Democrats of all factions greeted
his remarks enthusiastically. They
lett ihe White House in buoyant
spirits, declaring that his optimism
had inspired them with new conf
dence. 1T was the first time, commit
tcemen said. that their body had been
received as a whole in the Whi
House. They expressed regret that
the text OF the Presidents speech
would not be given out, as they re-
garded it as a vigorous campaier ar
