least one man who signed the bond

new trial. Some time ago Tidwells
attorney received a letter from him
postmarked Dothan, Ala, in which It'd
we'll stated that he would surrender
himself about January 1 to the state
penitentiary. Efforts to locate It'd

have been unavailing. He was due to
begin serving his sentence before now.
Tidwell was twice convicted Of man
slaughter. He received a new trial in
the first instance, but failed Of third
trial He was released after his second
conviction on a bond of $4,000, signed
by two Clinton men, pending a second
trial. A telegram from one of the sign
ers late this afternoon stated that he
did not know Tidwell's address. The
crime for which Tidwell was sentenced
was the Staying of r. F. Walker, a

Temperature in Mills.

The house has passed to third read
ing bill providing that the temper
ature in cotton mills be regulated sub
ject to the supervision and regulations
laid down by the commissioner Of ag-
riculture. The original bill vested this
authority in the state board Of health,
but the amendment, offered by one OF
its three authors, Mr.. Dixon, was ac-
cepted.
Senator Johnstone of Newberry has
introduced bill requiring that mar
riage license shall be issued from a

ties.
The ways and means committee hopes
to have the appropriation bill ready
for introduction the latter part of next

Practically the full morning session
of the senate on Tuesday was con-
sumed in consideration of two bills,
both of which received third read
ing. One was the employers liability
gill, introduced by Senator Padgett OF

law amendment offered by Senator
Nickels of Abbeville, which would ex-
tend state aid TO high schools in towns
above $500 inhabitants and increase
the high school aid appropriation from
100000 to $4,000 annually.
The Padgett bill is the application
of the federal employers liability act

Extension Of High School Act.

The purport of the Nickels bill is to
remove certain restrictions which pre-
vent the extension of state aid to high
schools in cities and towns with more
than $500 inhabitants. A necessary
sequence would be the enlargement OF
the state nigh school aid fund from
100000 to $4,000. The author said
that refusal to extend aid to schools in
towns above $500 had the effect of
penalizing a community for progress

GOOD HOUSING
 AND GOOD HEALTH.
Relation Between Them to Be Demon strated by Model Homes in Wash inqton.

Plans have been completed for the erection of a series of model homes in the city of Washington for the pur- pose of demonstrating to the nation the relationship between good housing and good health. These are to be known as the Ellen Wilson homes. and are not in the nature of an experi- ment, but are intended as demon stration to the entire United States.
 The intimate connection between bad housing and bad health and good housing and good health is clearly rec ognized in Washington, where the alley dwellings have long been a matter of concern both to the health authorities and to public spirited citizens who wish the Capital City to be an exam pie to the nation. The alleys have been paved. sewers and water mains have been laid in hem, they are lighted and cleaned as are the streets. Yet they keep their old lead over the streets when it comes to totaling tn figure: for disease and death.
 In this Washington's experience ha: been like that of Liverpool and othel European cities which tried unsuccess. fully to make badly situated dwellingi wholesome by cleaning and fumigat

A WRONG ATTITUDE.

It is a strange attitude which is taken by the German American or ganizations in protesting to the rep resentatives in congress against any action which will result in break with Germany, not because it is desired that this country should re- main at peace, but because the idea seems to be held that Germany should be allowed to go to any length, disre- gard the rights of American citizens and neutral shipping on the high seas and murder defenseless men, women and children and not be called to ac- count for it.
 No nation has been more desirous of remaining neutral and keeping out of the conflict which is raising such havoc in Europe than this. That was it's purpose at the start and that is it's hope today, but it cannot stand idly by and be trampled upon. It is not intended that it's notes to other nations when they go beyond their rights shall be interpreted as being solely for the purpose of appeasing the people of this country. There Is the national self respect and honor which must be upheld and that is what is being done when other coun- tries are informed that it's rights
 must be respected or there will be a
 break in diplomatic relations.
 Under such circumstances the plair duty of every citizen of this country 1 is to stand by the nation. This gov ernment has done it's utmost to SC. cure respect from Germany withour | obtaining results. Germany is tht worst violator in this respect because l it shows a wanton disregard for live: l of humanity. and for that reason f
 is not only strange but a most un. | patriotic stand which citizens of thi. | country take when they endeavor tt | call a halt in the final appeal wricH | the United States government ha!
 made to correct the conditions. It i. | a. time when the interests of thi. 1 country should come first and in viev l of the causes of this recent note tn,
 appeals should be made to German,
 and not to the members of congress

WANTS GERMANY TO DO RIGHT

According to the reports from Der lin, relative to the last note which was sent to the German government by this country, 1t is desired to know what kind of an answer would satis- fy the United States, and whether as- surances of a properly conducted sub marine campaign would be adequate or whether concessions now would be the f.- -tIde to further demands later
 There ought to be little question from the note which this country has sent as to what it is expected Ger many will do. It tells Germany in the first place that 1t has not been doing right, that it has been going contrary to the rules of naval war fare and that it is disregarding the rights of neutral nations in a manner which cannot be tolerated. What is wanted is the ending of this kind of activity and the carrying out of a policy which cannot fail to be con- sidered justifiable within the provision of international law.
 This country is asking for no more, but it is sick and tired of receiving empty promises and they will not be acceptable henceforth. Germany is being asked to make no concessions
 
 demanded that it let up on the meth Ods which are being used by the sub- marines but such is only requiring that it do it's part as a nation which subscribes to international law and the rules of war. There is no thought of depriving Germany of it's rights and it is an unfair intimation that ii Germany agreed to the demands o+ the United States this time that ther; would be further demands whicl might be expected in the future Thi! is only another effort to quibble ove the matter It is the attitude whicl has made necessary the threat tha diplomatic relations will be severed i there is not a compliance with the re forms set forth in the communica lions, but let Germany decide to con duct it's submarine warfare in ac cordance with the restrictions of tn laws of nations and it will have n ground for fearing further demands This country has asked only what just and what has been made neces sary by the German violations.
