INTERVENTION, AT LAST

While for two and a half years President Wilson has been insistent- Iy maintaining that the United States had no right to intervene in the racaouaI lights in Mexico, the administration is about to intervene, While only as recently as his h. diauayois speech, the President with emphasis declared that the United States had nc right to pre- vent and would never attempt to prevent the people Of Mexico from shedding one another's blood, that is precisely the task which the United States is going to undertake now, and to which it has already en listed cooperation and approval of the other leading nations of the continent.
 Formal recognition of Carranza is not mere act of diplomatic courtesy CT mere friendliness. 1t carries with it the obligation to prevent the shipment of arms to any bandit chieI who now dares to oppose the Carranzista dictatorship. That is the nub of the whole busi- ness. Cawanza does not care a hang whether President Wilson per sonIly does or does not believe that he is the choice of the Mexi- can people. But he does want to have the exclusive privilege of get ting arms and ammunition from thr United states, the only possible source of supply, just now,
 The official announcement from the state department at washing toa means, then, that the principal nations Of this continent will now do everything within their power short Of sending troops into Mexico, 10 make Carranza absolute in his control of Mexico, and to starve out his enemies.

OLD YEAR.

You came in like a lamb old year
over the corpse of the fateful ID and
everybody hailed you with delight.
You have gone out like a lion
drenched in the blood of your limo
cent victims, and may the world
never see another of your kind.
There has been nothing normal
about you. You turned winter into
spring and prolonged spring far into
summer.
Byyour cratic seasons you blasted
the early hopes of the farmer, then
buoyed him with the prospect OF
abundant crops to be made valueless
by your ~belligerency.
The death of perhaps three million
men, the flower of young manhood
in all Europe, must be charged to
your account; while incidentally
you have brought starvation and
mourning to millions of homes.
With so fair a beginning, you have
given the world the bloodiest chap
ter in all its annals, at your closing.
You are dead, and while there are
millions weeping, none weep on &C
count of your departure. Your Jek-
syll and Hyde characteristics have
made you a Kissing and byword and
all the nations of the earth have
turned their backs on you and are
looking with hope to your successor,
just emerging from his swadling
clothes.

Dig BUSINESS COLLEGE, OF co.
LUMBIA, MAKES SPECIAL AN.
NOUNCEMENT TO PATRONS
Largest and Best Known Institution
Of Kind in the State, Makes Most
Liberal Offer to Young People For
1915.

In keeping with the spirit of times,
the management Of Draughon's Prac-
teal Business College Of Columbia, s.
c., Zone o fthe chain of big Draughon
Colleges located throughout the
Southern and Western States;0 an
'nounces four ~ money saving plans
for 1914, to young men and young
women planning to enter College In
January, J
While the majority Of small bust
ress colleges are no longer able to
accept cotton at ten cents per pound
in payment for tuition the Big
:Draughon College OF Columbia is con-
tinuing to offer this ten cents cotton
plan and also announces that notes
payable one year (or longer) from
date, will be accepted in payment for
scholarships, while this temporary
period of business depression con-
tinues. In fact, this institution is ex-
tending to its patrons throughout the
State the most liberal terms and con-
ditions with reference to manner of
making tuition payments.
Following are the four az plans OF
enrolment offered:
1. Cotton Plan-Gotton will be ac-
.cepted (strict middlng) in payment
for scholarships and ten cents per
pound will be allowed for it. One 500
pound bale will pay for a $50 COM
plete scholarship in the Bookkeeping
and Banking department Of Draqgh-
on's College or a complete scholar
ship in the Shorthand and Type
writing department. Two such bales
will be accepted for ia Combined
Scholarship of both Bookkeeping,
Shorthand and auxiliary studies. :
2. Cash Plan-Where the student
enrolling pays cash for scholarship, 2
"War Discount" Of $1,000 will be
allowed and Railroad fare of the
student to. Columbia will be paid by
the College. This is equal in every
way, from an economical standpoint
to the cotton plan offered above, and
will only remain In force for such a
limited time as in the opinion Of the
College management present existing
conditions may justify. ..... 49,.
8. Note Plan-If the student wishes
to give a note, payable a year Tor
longer) from date, for the full price
Of the scholarship, allowing sufficient
time for the student to complete the
course, accept a position and earn the
money with which to pay the note he
fore it falls due the regular catalogue
price is charged for each scholarship,
which Is a few dollars higher than
the cash price. Where 80. CO., or 80
day notes are given, no difference in
price is charged. Many students n
ter Draughon's College each year un-
der this note plan, and complete their
course, accept positions and eran the
money to pay their notes before they
fall due. If you are interested in this
plan, write for special note plan
blank which gives full information.
4. BY Mail Plan-Any young man
or young woman can purchase a
Draughon Scholarship for the Book
keeping and Banking, or for the
Shorthand and Typewriting course.
