COURT BILL-OF-FARE
 S|hPL|F|ED BY WAR
German Nobility No Longer Have
 Fresh Rolls for Breakfast.

Correspondence of the Associated Press )
 Berlin, Feb S.-"To live like a king" is a phrase that no longer sig nifies in Prussia an enviable height of luxury. Indeed, the German em- peror and empress always have eaten simply, but the war has made the bill of-fare at court still simplier.
 AS early as November the so- called "K-bread,". made of rye flour with an admixture of potatoes, was introduced at court and since then has been used daily.
 Fresh Rolls Disappear.
 When after weeks ago an order prohibiting night baking was issued, fresh rolls disappeared from the inn perial breakfast table. An egg, some warmed up rolls and tea or coffee form the breakfast of the empress At 1 o'clock in the afternoon there are soup and a fish or vegetable course. The evening meal contains one meat, generally one vegetable and potatoes, usually served in their jackets. Often, however, only cold meat and potato salad are served.
 This menu is but slightly altered when the emperor returns from head quarters, where his fare is of Spar tan sim mplicity. The chief change consists in a thick soup of which the monarch is very fond. Frequently the midday meal is composed of such a soup alone. There are no pastries or whipped cream, except when the chill dren of the crown prince came to vis it grandmother. Then there are cakes.
 Three Meals a Day.
 Commoners are being urged to fol- low the imperial example and to eat during the war, Not more than three meals a day" This number, said Prof. Karl Oppenheimer, in a lecture delivered in one of the official courses on economy in diet during the war, is amply sufficient as war diet and further meals are a sin against the fatherland Overeating, said Dr. Oppenheimer, had become, as it were, a sport in wide classes of the Ger man people, including the better sit uated workmen and the middle classes.

Gerard Presents Note.

Berlin, via London, Feb. 23.-James w. Gerard, the American ambassador to Germany, last evening presented to the foreign office the American note which embodied the proposals for the settlement of the situation arising from the British embargo on food stuffs into Germany and the German warfare against British mercantile shipping.
 It is understood that proposals were submitted simultaneously in London.
 No statement regarding the nature of these proposals or the German attitude on them can be obtained here, but it is believed that there is at least a prospect of their ac- ceptance by Germany.

Leland Archibald Langston.
:

In the death, last Saturday, of Le-
land Archibald Langston, Darlington
lost man who had performed valiant
service for its people, even to the
point of facing death itself that they
might enjoy peace and liberty. Con-
fined to his bed for twenty-five weary
months by paralysis and softcning of
the brain, death at last came as well
come surccase to his patient suffering.
With an honorable record as chief
OF police for nineteen years at Lau-
rcnS, Mr.. Langston came to Darling
ton in 1901, and succeeded Chief Dar-
gan upon the lattcr's death. Owing
to Ill health, he was compelled to re-
sign in l9ll and since that time had
sccn few we'll days.
AS Chief OF Police, Mr.. Langston
was capable and efficient; man OF
high integrity, honorable and faith
Iul in his every act. He was always
sclfposseSscd, and was considcratc of
his fCllowmcn. As an officer of the
law, he was noted for his courage and
devotion to duty. He was no rcspcc-
tor OF persons; in his eye, an offend
CT was an offender, let his station be
what it might
Old residents recall one instance,
in particular, in which he displayed
rare courage in making an arrest. One
Brock, employed on the cement work
around the courthouse, became in
censcd at superior, and, procuring
pistol. shot the latter in the Jaw
the injured man fled, with Brock in
pursuit. Beside himself with rage be-
cause his victim had escaped him,
Brock reloaded his pistol and, stand
ing in the Public Square deflcd any
man to approach him. Chief Langston
was soon on the scene, coatless and
nnarmed. His friends begged him not
to attempt to arrest the enraged man,
who was brandishing his loaded wea-
pom, but the chief saw only his duty.
He calmly walked up to Brock, dis
armed him, and placed him under ar
rest.
This was not the only instance in
which Chief Langston had displayed
his courage. He came to Darlington
with an enviable record for bravery
at Laurens. Old residents associate
several widely-known incidents with
Mr.. Langston's official career previous
to his coming to Darlington.-Edi-
torial In Darlington News and Press.

The Cost OF Fishing.

Is y IL # i - i 81 .
Editor Laurens Advertiser:
l am sending you u statement of
what it cost Webb Elledge and Court
ney White to catch fish at this place.
White gets his over the trap line and
Elledge gets his by way of the basket
route.
So on the first day of January White
bought five dollars worth of lumber
and made him trap and put it in the
river and it is four hundred yards
from the house. He goes to it six
times a day. Well, from the first day
Of January to the first day OF April
he walked two hundred and ninety
four thousand yards, which is two
hundred and cighty-siX miles, six hun
drcd and forty yards and lie has
knocked off three toe nails, fallen IN
the river seven times, VOL out three
pair Of shoes, taken twelve dollars
worth Of cough syrup and caught if-
teen pounds of fish.
Mr.. Eledgc PIT his baskets in the
river at the same time and at a place
known as tho "McNinch Rock" just
one mile from the power house. He
went TO them every day. SO, from the
first day OF January to the first day Of
ADril he walked one hundred and
eighty miles, bought four bushels meal
and one bushcl of onions for bait
which cost him six dollars, paid one
dollar and fifty cents for the baskets.
Wore out three pairs Of shoes, tore 4
very large hole in the most important
part Of a five dollar pair Of pants, fell
in the river three times, and caught
six pounds Of fish. So he has cut his
baskets loose and if the waters of Sa-
luda river carries them where he told
them to go and there is any fish in
them when they get there they will
fry quick. He has decided that the
best way to get fish is to buy mullcts
But White has the patience of Job.
Tic still Soes 20 his trap six times a
day and is trying to buy lumber to
make him another one.
Now Mr.. Editor | am no George

CAMDEN's CELEBRATION

ALTHOUGH Camden is in another State,
l1it is part of Philadelphia. 1t has grown
from small community to thriving city
OF more than 100000 population because it
is near this great commercial centre Phil
adelphia overfows on all sides and spills
some Of its enterprise and energy across the
Delaware into Camden. just as New York
expands into Jersey City.
The carnival across the river is therefore,
OF as much interest 70 Philadelphia as to
Camden. We look with pride upon the ex-
hibition Of camden's spirit. its elation at its
growth and its confident belief that what
has already happened is only a promise of
greater things in store in the future. II
there were no enterprise and initiative there,
the city would still grow, because Phladel-
phia needs that territory for expansion to
the east; but when the advantage Of its To-
cation is Joined with the enthusiasm of its
business men, there is every reason for be-
lieving that its prosperity has only begun.

BRYAN is STILL IN THE AIR

LNROM the moment of his first entrance

remarkable capacity for projecting himself
Into the air and talking about things which
do not exist. The world in which he lives
is unreal and the remedies that he proposes
for evident evils would make the evils worse.
His financial heresies have long since been
exploded, and his latest fad of disarmament
insa world of wars rests on no firmer foun-
dation. Yet it is doubtful if a movement
more fortunate for the country could be
started than a disarmament propaganda in
the Democratic party. 1t would split that
organization so effectualy that there would

THE COLLEGE ATHLETE

THE five men who have, apparently Of
i their own volition, dropped from Yale's in
tercollegiate athletics, have done a double
service to the cause of the amateur player. II
their resignation was not forced. they again
demonstrate the growing honesty of inter-
collegiate encounters. They have even pro-
vided an opportunity for generosity on the
part of other colleges, and a rumor has it
that Harvard will take advantage of this,
asking, unofficially, for the reinstatement Of
Legore and his associates.
A still greater service is that to a clearer
understanding of the amateur status The
five men were playing on an amateur base
ball team during the summer. The team
never paid salaries to it's players, but in the
case of the five men was willing to give them
free board. On finding that this was vio-
lation of the intercollegiate rules, the ath-
letes refused further support They are now
disqualified in the very crisis of Yales ac-
tivity.
1t seems that the players and the govern
ing board are equally at fault. The board
acknowledges that 1t was remiss; it implies
that the rules had not been enforced The
players have done the one thing possible
Wouldn't it be advisable to revise the laws
so that they might be understood-and be
sensible?

the election of men who are enthusiastically
