der him five men, whose headquarters
Will be in various towns of the state.

is fine evidence Of the high stand

ready won for him an cnviablc rcputa-
ton. The position as chief in this state
was sought by many older members OF
the department and the fact that Mr..

TO Close Stores Early.

\ large number Of the merchants Of
the city are signing an agreement
drawn up between them for the early
closing of stores during the summer
months. Yesterday the paper with the
agreement upon 1t was circulated
among the furniture, dry goods, jewel
ry and hardware stores and the nan
agcrs Of nearly all Of them agreed to
close at SIX o'clock after March 18th.
THO groccry,mcn have not been ap-
rioached on the matter yet, but it is
understood that several OF them are
willing to Join the movement provid-
ed the remaining groccrs do. In view
Of the fact that an early closing move
mont participated in by all the mcr-
chants would not cause loss to any
os them, 1t Is thought that nearly all
the stores in town will enter the agree
ment.

Rock Hill, Feb. Winthrop College
offers short courses in domestic sci
encc to towns sand communities in
tcrested in home bettcrmcnt, as a
part of its extension service to the
people Of South Carolina. Any commu-
nifty can secure this travelling cooking
school for two days, provided it will
make the arrangements necessary to
insure the success Of the undertaking,
and provided it's application Is rcceiv-
cd before all the time available for this
purpose has been engaged.
The short course in cooking means
that the women and girls OF a com,
munity will have four cooking lessons
and lectur AID four conferences
with an expert in the domestic science
field. 1t will stimulate interest in the
homo subjects and disseminate knowl-
edge concerning them
In order to make the short course
iii domestic science success, there
is need Of local committee which
shall pave the way for it. Whoever
undertakes it in given community,
Should seek the cooperation OF the
churches, press, clubs, ministers,
teachers, housekeepers, girls, and
boys OF that community. All that is
wanted is their interest, which means
that they will enlist the interest Of
others.
An active committee is necessary
preferably a small committee, be-
cause it is a better working unit. This
committee may be selected by the wo-
man who first decides to try TO bring
the travelling cooking school to her
community. This committee should
sec the city and county superintcnd-
cnts Of education, the ministers, the
teachers, the newspaper mon.
In addition, the committee will pur-
chase the supplies needed for the
cooking lessons and sec that they are
in place. 1t will be the duty Of this
committee to secure large, clean,

for audience, platform desirable
but not a necessity, and equipment.

ENGLAND TO BLOCKADE
ALL GERMAN PORTS
Retaliation For Declaration
Of War Zone.
NOT TO RISK
NEUTRAL SHIPPING
England and Her Allies have An.
S"crcd tho Threat OF IL Blockade Of
English Ports by Declaring Every
thing COntraband OF War.

London, March 1.-England and her
allies nave answered Gcrmany's
declaration Of war zone in the wa
ters around the British Isles and the
coast OF France by rctaliatory meas
ures which will be undertaken immc-
dately to prevent commodities of any
kind from reaching or leaving Ger
many.
The measures will be enforced by
the British and French governments,
as the text Of the British note puts It,
without risk to Neutral shipping or
to neutral or non-combatant life and
in strict observance Of the dictates of
humanity"
The announcement was made by
Premier Asquith in the British par
lament today and apparently the
governments action is a matter Of su-
preme satisfaction to the British pub
lie and press.
The operations Of the allied fleet in
the Dardanelles, as perhaps prcsag-
ing quick developments in the Balkan
situation, dominate the military situa-
tion on sea and land. The more op-
timistic expect Constantinople to fall
but there is a noticeable disposition
to realize that the ships face no easy
task, Notwithstanding the 20 mile
range Of the guns Of the superdread
nought Queen Elizabeth.
Whether any progress has been
made since the outer forts were de-
molishcd has not been made known
officially, a statement issued tonight
saying that rough weather is hinder
ing operations and making it cx-
trcmcly hazardous, if not impossible,
for acroplancs to take wing from the
ships for observations necessary to
direct the fire.
The interest which the British peo-
pie are taking in these operations is
evidenced by the frequent official
statements regarding them.
Little Of Importance has occurred
in the west and OF the operations in
the east the Russians are claiming
much and the Germans saying little.
There are signs that the Russian
armies are feeling their way, prcpara-
tory to q vigorous offensive. Germany
has conceded that the Russians have
rctaken PrzasnysZ, north Of Warsaw,
and the Russians are still celebrating
on its strategic Importance.

BATTLES IN THE AIR


 The first s.battle in the air'' was fought 107 years ago today, when two Frenchmen, M. le Pique and M. le Grandpre,s engaged in duel from balloons. A beauty of the opera, Mile. Tfrevit, was responsible for the quarrel between the two men, and she agreed to bestow her favors upon the survivor of this novel duel. Two balloons, exactly alike, were con structed for the Ioye-rnad Partsians and on the appointed day they as- cended, each aeronaut armed with a blunderbuss. The ascent was made from the garden of the Tuileries. and a great crowd assembled to see the battle in the air. The wind kept the balloons close together, and when the signal to fire was given, the aero nauts had ascended about half a mile and were about eighty yards apart. M. 1e Pique fired first, but missed. Grandpre then blazed away with his bIunderbuss. The charge tore a great ho1eain Pique's balloon, and it was dashed to earth Both M. Ie Pique and his second, who had ascended with him, were instantly killed The victor in this strange duel continued his flight and descended about twenty miles from Paris. In the present war due1s between aero nauts and aviators have been fre- ouent.

BALFoUR

The Rt Hon. Arthur Badf0urs sue cessor of Winston Churchill as first lord of the admiralty in the English coalition cabinet, will be sixty-seven years old next month His father was JameO Maitland Balfour, who died when his son was only eight years of age, and his mother was Lady Blanche Gascoigne Cecil, a daughter Of the second Marquis of Salisbury He was educated at Eton and Cam bridge, and began 5his political career soon after leaving college It was more than forty years ago that he first took his seat in the House of Commons as Conservative member for Hartford He laid the foundation for his statesnaanship by acting as pri- vate secretary to the Marquis of Sails bury when the latter was foreign secretary, and in 1878 he was employ ed by the Marquis and Lord Beacons- field on a special mission to Berlin At this period he also began to make name for himself as an author, his first book, "A defence of Phi1osophic Doubt having been published in 1879. Since then many philosophie and economic works and volumes of essays and addresses have been publ
 ished under his name. About thirty years ago he became secretary for Scotland, with a seat in the cabinet, and since then he has held many inn portant posts, Including that of prime minister, first lord of the treasury, chief secretary for Ireland and leader of the House of Commons As premier from 1902 to 1905, and later as spokesman for the Opposition, MT Balfour used all his influence against granting of home rule to South Africa | The events of the present war have proved the soundness of the policy which MT BaIfour fought with such determination, for there is little room for doubt that if ohome rule had not been granted to South Africa the Boers would have complicated mat ters by rising in. revolt. With Botha, the former Boer general, as head of the Union, the Boers have been loyal to Britain, and have helped in con quering for Britain the rich territory of German Southwest Africa.
