SAYS SOUTH WANTS
Mr.. TAFT NAMED
South CaroIinian Urges Ex-
President for Supreme
Court Vacancy.

J. c. Milford. South Carolina demo-
crat, who called on President Wilson
with Representative Aiken today. told
the President that he has been through
many places in the south lately, and
that he finds an almost universal feel
ing there that the President would do
a mighty pleasant thing should he
nominate former President William H.
Taft as associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The Deo-
pie of the SOUTH Mrs Milford said, do
not look upon Mr.. Taft as partisan in
politics, and are willing to trust him
in the Supreme Court or any other
position.
They actually love the former
President" Mr.. Wilson is said to have
told Mr.. Milford that he was deeply
interested in what had been told him.
A big delegation of Atlanta lawyers
called on the President. headed by
Senators Smith and Harjwicll and Rep
resentatives Howard, Crisp and Ed

iieve a more popular local appointment
could be made.
Pleas We're made by three callers at
the White House today for clemency
by President Wilson on behalf of Mid
Shipmen Francis J. Kelly. jr., of New
York and Thomas II. Davis of South
Carolina, who have been recommended
for dismissal from the Naval Academy
by the superintendent and Secretary
Daniels for alleged intoxication and
infringement of other rules OF the in
stitution. The pleas were made by
Revs. p. ]. O'Callaghan aid J. ].
O'Hern and Representative Aiken of
South Carolina. Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York saw the President
in behalf of the boys some days ago.
1t was said today that the President is
likely to approve the recomn enda tons
for dismissal and not exercise Glenn
tncy.
Mrs. Wilson May Go With President.
Much interest centers in the posi-
bility that Mrs. Wilson will accompany
the President, and inquiries already are
coming in from the west as to whether
she will do SO. This has not been de-
termined. SO far as could be learned
today. and it is said that much will
depend on the strenuosity of the jour-
ney. If the schedule as finally ar
ranged is to be one of hasty jumps
from one place to another and con-
tinuous round of speechmaking. Mrs.
Wilson may not go.
If the number of speeches is not large
and the itinerary not so strenuous she
may go. She would be royalty and
cordially entertained, westerners said
today, and the trip would be all the
more pleasant for the people generally
if she should be with the President.

front, sending a strong force of
troops to fight with the Entente
Allies here.
The Russians disembarked at

arrival being noted by Gen.
Joffre in the order of the day,
the French Commander-in- Chief
cited their coming as another
striking proof of Russia's devo-

will be asked to give right-of-

that is. nor does any one else
know it at this time. That more
money is necessary is known to
us all, and if the people between
Columbia and the two towns
above mentioned, who would be
directly benefited by its passing

the proposition of furnishing the
missing link, it would undoubt-
edly be to their interest and
would tighten the burden of
many who are far from close

Sundays Coulter Journal says:
That the United States Govern
ment has prepared for every
possible contingency in case of a
diplomatic break with Germany,
first among which is considera-
ton of the welfare of Americans
in Germany, was evident last
Saturday, despite the secrecy of
Washington officials. That Ber-
lin was surprised by the drastic
terms of the American note de.
manding reform of the subma-
rine warfare was indicated from
diplomatic dispatches, which,
however, are Enot made public
Significance was found in indi-
cations of a possible request for
further information or delay on
the part of Berlin, but it was
said the United States would
have no delay unless Germany de-
clares modification of the subma-
rine warfare. No break with
Germany's allies is contemplated,
even though Germary's reply
should call forssuch an eventual
ity with that country.

was speaking. 1t was dispatch
ed last night in accordance with
the Presidents plan to have it
before the German Government
at the same moment ne was ad-
dressing the American Congress.
The President asked no action
whatever of Congress. He SIM
ply informed it of the accumula-
ton of facts proving that Ger
many's assurances to the United
States are being violated; that
the submarine campaign. despite
the earnest protests of the Unit
ed States, is being conducted
with renewed vigor in contraven-
ton of all the laws of nations
and humanity, and that he means
to sever relations unless it is
brought within the law Diplo-
matte history of the world shows
that such course is almost GER
tain to be followed by war.
The Presidents note and his
address to Congress are final.
They mark the end of diplomatic
exchanges. A continuance of
the longstanding friendly rela-
tions, the President made clear,
depends alone upon Germany's
conduct.

The advance in the price of
paper has reached a point that
is uncomfortable. Our last ton
of news cost $1,000 more than
we have been paying and since a
ton only lasts a few weeks the
increased cost is not light. All
grades of paper have made SINH
lar advances. So it will be nee
essary for a slight increase in
the cost of job work and likely
an advance in the subscription
price of The News may have to
be made unless cheaper paper
can be secured. At any rate we

Interest in securing a railroad
for Columbia manifested itself in
no uncertain tones last Saturday
at the meeting in the court
house, and about $42,000.00 was
pledged for this purpose. So
confident that the full $50, 900. 90
will be secured, or a sufficient
amount to meet requirements,
the Columbia Railroad Company
was organized, and within a few
days will be in position to legally
transact business. The article of
incorporation was signed by the
stockholders and a board of nine
directors were elected as follows:
w. W. Jones, J. N. Cofey, E..
II. Hughes. Braxton Massie, R.
F. PAUL, ]. o. Russell, Gordon
Montgomery, N. M. Tut and C..
S. Harris. In meeting of the
directors W. w. jones was elect
ed President, N. M. Tut, Vice
President, C. S. Harris, Secreta-
ry, E. H. Hughes and John W.
Flowers, Treasurers. There is
scarcely doubt as to meeting
ing requirements imposed by the
promoters of this enterprise, and
we look forward to a successful
conclusion of the efforts made
here in the last two weeks. The
people of this county have never
felt as certain of getting a road
and have never opened the purse
as freely and as readily to secure
one, as they have on the present
proposition. The fact is, that a
desire for development and con.
venience is broadcast, deep and
genuine. Every body is for the
road and we mean to build it.
If there be doubters, they may
now put aside their fears. unless
some unforeseen complication OF
condition appears strong enough
to undo what has already beer
done. At least, the present i:

lies in the West. 1t is consider,
ed probable that the Transports
carrying the troops made wide
sweep out into the North At
lantic before heading for the
Mediterranean to avoid the sub
marine danger zone in the vicini-
ty of the British Isles.
In this connection it is to be
noted that word reached New
York today through private cable
advices that Russia had closed
the port of Archangel to all ex-
cept Government traffic. This
may indicate that other troop
movements from Archangel to
the western front are either under
way Or in contemplation.
Several times during the war
there have been reports that Rus
STA was sending troops to the
Franco Belgian front, travellers
even declaring that detachments
had been seen en- route through
Scotland and England. No such
troops have ever appeared on the
western battle line, however.
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin,
has received the American note
to Germany. The Berlin dis
patch reporting the arrival of
the note said the Ambassador
was expected to present it to the
Foreign Office this afternoon.
The French again have taken
the offensive in the Verdun bat
tie and launched attacks against
the German lines on the right
bank of the Meuse. Paris de-
clared the aggressive move was
successful, resulting in the cap
ture of portions of the German
trenches and a redoubt, and in
the taking of several hundred
prisoners.
This operation on the part of
Gen. Petain's forces follows close
ly German move in a new field
in the struggle for the fortress.
This took the form of a drive on
the extreme right flank of the
French forces in this sector,
three successive attacks being
delivered at Los Eparges, about
thirteen miles southeast of Ver-
dun on the edge of the Woevre
plain.
Military observers have long
expected some such operations
on the part of the Germans as
part of a squeezing movement in
tended to force the evacuation of
the fortress. The new attempt
was unsuccessful, however, Paris
has reported, the Germans hav-
ing been driven by a counter at
tack out of 200 yards of trenches
they had succeeded in occupying.
According to a London dis
patch the British coalition Gov
eminent has been given a new
lease of life at a settlement hav-
ing been reached in the Cabinet
crisis over the question of con-
scription.
A plot Of wide scope conducted
for the purpose of causing revo-
luton in India is announced from
London to have been uncovered
