WAR MUST END TO
 BRING GOOD TIMES

NEW YORK, May 15.-victor Nor. awetz, German-Amerlcan publicists, in a signed article in the New York Times says: There can be no sub- standal increase of the aggregate production of wealth and no lasting increase of prosperity in the United States until after the return of rela lively stable conditions in production and trade so the relatively stable em ployment can be provided for the available labor of the country. Even if international trade were a more important factor than it is in the creation Of wealth and prosperity throughout the United States, no real and lasting increase of our wealth and prosperity can result either dur ing the war or afterward, from the misfortunes and impoverishment of our best customers"

raid there, in which serious property

Warning of the approach of hos

ines took part in the raid, but wheth-
er they were Zeppelins or aeroplanes

parts of the town. One man and his
wife were badly burned in a fire start
ed by an incendiary bomb.

we're burned at Leigh, near South

SIX-OCNCE HAIL STONE.
Many Big Ones Fall During Storm in
Sumter County.

Sumter, May 5.-Reports from
Wedgefeld, this county, today state
that there was hail storm there yes
terday afternoon, and that around
Dixie and Stateburg the storm was
quite severe. While the crops are
mostly too small to be much damag-
ed by the hail it was stated that the
oats and wheat suffered considerably,
and that the fruit trees were badly
damaged and the crop cut off by the
hail. The stones were reported to be
the largest ever seen, many of them
as large as a hens eggs, and some
even larger. 1t was stated by one
man from there that after the storm
one of the largest stones was weigh
ed, and that it tipped the scales at
six ounces.
Hail also fell east of Sumter, but
not in sufficient quantity to damage
the crops. This is the second time in
the week that Sumter county has
had hail. Around Providence and
Dalzell the stones were said to cover
the ground to a depth of four inches.

COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS
SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, May 10.-What a fine
rain we did have Friday. The dust
was settled right now; and my, the
gardens were set out and started OF
in good shape; if they will only con-
tinue to be worked up for a week
or so. Those cotton fields will. from
now on, grow a lot of grass and Will
take lots of work to keep Jack Green
from taking the full crops of corn
and cotton. The rain, however, came
too late for the oat crop. Oats are
very short, did not get high enough
to cut good. The up-country has had
some heavy hail to fall, doing some
damage to sashes in houses, and gar
dens.
The car of folks that went to New
berry, S. c., from here had a nice
trip in their auto, no accident going
or returning.
DR.. VIM. H. Folk is to be married
soon, and will go to Sycamore, S. c.,
on his return, to practice his profess
sion at that place.
All of the merchants that were
closed up by homestead proceedings
are opened and going ahead with
their work, except the Hacker Co.
Seems as if their business is hard to
get in shape to move from where
they are at.
There is baseball game scheduled
for this week; can't say what team
will cross bats with Ehrhardt team.
Some little practice has beenA had
with local teams of late, but as soon
as the grass gets to growing this will
be cut out and the hoe and plough
will take the place of ball and bat
with the local team.
1t seems as if extra energy was on
in the war zone last week, from the
paper accounts; think its time for
them to hold up trying to kill each
other now, as they have about used
all their energy and means already.
Well the A. c. L. railway is run
ming trains on the Ehrhardt and Bam-
berg branch at last Now there is
something else for the people to talk
about that they want, what will it be?
JEE.

What America Demands

The demands in the American note,
to be sent to the German government
today, are, briefly:
/. A strict accounting for attacks
on American vessels and the taking
or endangering of American lives.
2. Financial reparation for the
loss Of lives.
8. A guarantee, demanded in the
name of humanity, that Germany
abandon it's policy of sinking mer-
chantmen carrying noncombatants.
The note will declare recent Ger
man acts indefensible under inter
national law and will point out that
expressions Of regret will count for
nothing unless accompanied by a
change in policy.
1t will also maintain the absolute
right of neutrals to travel to any
point on the seas in neutral or bel
ligerent merchantmen.
The American government will
suggest that the German government
could not possibly have intended the
destruction Of so many innocent
lives, and that hence German subma-
rine commanders must have misun-
derstood their instructions.
1t further will point out that
warnings, whether official or not. can
not be accepted as justifying unlaw-
full attacks.
In conclusion. the note makes plain
that the United States will leave
nothing undone, either by diplomatic
representations or action, to obtain
compliance by Germany with the
American requests.

AUSTRIA MAY WAR on ITALY.
Italy Expected to BE Engaged Within
the Next Fortnight.

Paris, May lit is being persist
emily rumored in Paris that Germany
and Austria already have declared, or
about to declare war on Italy, in an
ticipation of an Italian declaration Of
war against them. The report lacked
confirmation.
Another widespread rumor was
that Italy had signed an agreement
with Great Britain, France and Rus
sia to take part in the war not later
than May 26. That also was uncon-
frmed.
French observers in Italy infer
from the audience yesterday between
King Victor Emmanuel and former
Prime Minister Giolitti that the non
Intervention party in Italy has deter
mined to withdraw all opposition to
the war.
Military writer's are presenting the
argument that the necessity Of de-
tending a third frontier undoubtedly
would make the resistance of Austria
and Germany on other fronts more
feeble. Italy would mean victory
over Germany by the middle Of sum-
mer.

Exodus From Italy.

Paris, May 1.-THE opinion is
general in Italian parliamentary cir
cles, says a Milan dispatch to the
Petit Journal, that the government
must make known its decision in re-
gard to entering the war not later
than the last week in May, but could
easily assume decisive attitude be-
fore that date.
The Milan correspondent of the Ex-
celsior transmits a Secolo dispatch
from Lugano, Switzerland, saying the
police of Lugano have been instruct
ed to make preparations to protect
Prince Won Buelow, German ambassa-
dor to Rome, when he passes through
that city on his way home.
The departure from Rome of the
staff of the Austrian embassy to the
Vatican is denied by the Osservatore
Romano, according to Havas dis
patch. The newspaper says that not
only has no member of the embassy
staff left but that new secretary Is
expected to arrive soon.
A Milan dispatch from Udine to the
Havas agency says trains arriving
from Austria are filed with. Italian
travellers. Hundreds are waiting at
the Trieste railroad station for places
on trains.
Austria's Offers.
Another version of the territorial
concessions Austria is said to have
proposed to Italy has been printed by
the Mattino of Naples, and telegraph
ed to the Havas agency. According
to this report Austria is willing to
cede part of Trent to Italy, together
with strip of territory in the region
of the Izonzo river, which empties in
to the Gulf of Trieste. Trieste itself
is absolutely excluded, as well as
Istria and Pola.
The Italian cabinet is said to have
considered these concessions INSULT
cient, and made a counter proposition
demanding all Of Trent up to Bren-
ner, together with Trieste and Istria,
including Pola. Italy, the Mattino
aserts, will insist on obtaining
Trieste, but is ready to give Austria
commercial guarantees.
The Havas correspondent says the
Italian government has demanded Of
Vienna definite answer within fixed
time. He adds that in the best in
formed circles there is no real hope
of a peaceful settlement, although
Pope Benedict has sent Emperor
Francis Joseph an autograph letter
asking him to yield, iq order to avoid
another war.
