various charitable and military objects.
The Vienna Neue Freie Prasse has
started since the war began collections
for more than hundred different funds
and has succeeded in raising over a
million dollars. The largest individual
hane faction is the Red Cross, for which
the Presse has collected $4,000. Next
comes the fund for the blind soldiers,
which received $4,000. The other OBJ
jects for which the paper has made col
lections include one for furnishing arti-
fetal limbs for the wounded soldiers !;
for the families of reservists called to
the front and for the Austrian sub
marines. Altogether there are no less
than 1856 different funds, for some of
which less than $40 have been sub
scribed.

On the ordering of the mobilization,
King Constantine did not go at once to
Saloniki to place himself a the head of
his country's troops commander-in-
chief His la te illness was given as
the reason; but the real rea son, it is
declared, lay in his uuwillingness to
leave the political direction of the coun-

party. Not even when foreign troops
were landed on Greek soil at Greece's
second city did Constantine ] alter his
decision. He merely sent his twenty
five-year-ol son. the "diadochos," or
crown prince, George, Duke OF Spa rita
in his place. and detailed the boys

After fourteen months Vienna is begin

which hitherto had left little outward
mark on the life of the Austrian cap
ital. But in the past few weeks prices
of food have advanced by leaps and
bounds. Coal is becoming scarcer and
dearer, Just as winter is approa ching.
Clothing has doubled in price. And, al
together, the Immediate outlook for the
great masses of the population is ex-
tremely dismal.
Much of the trouble is due to the
army having taken nine-tenths of the
strong, able-bodied laboring men from
the city. Hardly any teamsters are left,
and great quantities of -four and pro-

find interest in the intimate realities

ing. DIR. Wiener said:
The Russians are not interested in
external reforms, in the philan-

makes for moral betterment of them
selves and for the Immediate benefit
of their people. This sincerity of the
Russians is bound to produce marvel

Spectators Hide Stores,

Another cause of the present high
prices of food is the manipulation of
spectators, who are hiding large stores
of provisions and SO creating an arti-
fetal shortage in the markets Imme-
diately best fresh butter went up to
$i.25 a pound-at which price nobody
could buy more than a quarter of a
pound at a time--large stocks suddenly
came on the market and prices fell at
once to dollar.
Convinced that huge stocks of food
stuffs We're somewhere in existence in
the city, the Vienna police have lust
made a thorough search of all the stor-
age warehouses. resulting in some sur
prising discoveries Among the nro-
visions concealed in these places were
found hundreds of packages of rice.

Flour Supply Limited.
Although the new flour is now in the
market the supply in the retail bak-
cries is very limited. In the poorer
suburbs people gather around the
stores as early as o'clock in the
morning. and by o'clock the crowd
will number anywhere from 500 to 900
persons, mostly women and children.
The bakeries open at Z and the sign of

o'clock. Later corners can get nothing.
Many poor persons earn couple of

Since the military authorities requi-
sitioned all the stocks of rubber tires

those actually in use on the cars Of

most disappeared from the streets of

The three-cushion game is the

popularity is much like that of golf
and is due to the fact that anyone can
play it and enjoy the contest, yet to
play it well brings out the best the
billiardist has in stock. To the aver
age player of billiards three cushions
offers the most action and a fair
chance of victory even over his su-
perior.
Fffteen-two and fifteen-three, all
the balk-Ine games, are masters
games. In those games the ordinary
player has no chance, while at three
cushions fair player with steady
stroke and little luck has a real
chance to beat the man who, perhaps,
could play him 1000 to $50 at baIk

JUDGE SEASE SCORES
CARRYING OF PISTOLS.
In Charge to Lexington Gand Jury
Declares This Evil Increases
Crime.

Lexington, Sept. 20.-The regular
term of the court Of general sessions
for Lexington county convened at 10
o'clock this morning with Judge T..
S. Sease of Spartanburg presiding
Not single jury case has been tried
today, as fast as the grand jury would
bring in indictments the prisoners
would enter pleas of guilty, thus saw
ing time and expense, and in each in
stance the court took this into con-
sideration. in pronouncing sentences.
The feature of today's session was
the strong, able and brilliant charge
of Judge Sease to the grand jury
when he called that body together a
few moments after 10 o'clock. Brief
and to the point, the court called at
tention to the reign of lawlessness ex-
isting throughout the State. South
Carolina, perhaps, is no worse than
other sections of the South in this re-
gard, said Judge Sease, but certainly
there is a wide and varied difference
between the crimes of the South and
the crimes of the North. This vast
difference is due to the fact, no
doubt, said Judge Sease, that in the
North persons are punished when
they commit crime. Human life is
too cheap in this State-and this is
brought about largely through the
carrying of concealed pistols. Judge
Sease scored pistol toting in all it's
forms and urged the grand jury to go
into all cases with a will and deter
mination to see to it that no person
escapes who is guilty, but at the same
time no one should be indicted for
petty differences or from envy or
hatred. Judge Sease made it plain
at the outset that he was master of
the situation and that he was going
to run the court with fairness and dis
patch.
