A TERRIBLE CRIME.
Game Warden In Jasper Shot by
PoacherS, il is Believed.

Ridgeland, Dec "a w D Thomas,
one of the woods riders for the Okee-
tee club. was found dead late Friday
afternoon about ten miles from here
in Savannah river swamps with three
buckshot in his head. Wednesday
afternoon he left his home to make
his Usual rounds in the woods to try
and keep off poachers and as he had
at times been in the habit ofspending
the night at the club house, nothing
was thought of his failure to return.
When he failed to return Thursday
his family became alarmed at his alb
sence. and searching parties were
formed to look for him in the swamps.
Late Friday afternoon his body was
found, still astride the horse that he
had been riding, the horse also hav-
ing been killed with buckshot.
From all appearances it seems that
he rode upon poachers who had just
killed fine deer, the dead deer be-
ing found within about 100 yards of
where the body was found. Rather
than to Submit to arrest one of the
poachers fired a load of buckshot at
Mr. Thomas head, killing him and
his horse instantly, as it was shown
at the inquest yesterday morning
that shot had penetrated the brains
of both man and horse.
Evidently Mr. Chomas was unaware
of the presence of the poachers, as
the pistol he carried was still in a
small bag that he always carried tied
to his saddle.
Mr. Thomas was a man of fine
character and known and liked by
most every man in the county. He
was about 50 years of age and leaves
a wife and seven children.

bELL|CERENTS REPLY
TO PRESIDENT WILSON,
SUGGEST CONFERENCE Of WAR.
RING NATIONS IN NEUTRAL
CITY TO DISCUSS PEACE.

Berlin, Dec 2S-Germany and her
allies. Austria Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey. today replied to the note
of President Wilson. in which he ask
ed the belligerent nations to state the
aims for which they were fighting.
The proposal is made by the Cen
trail Powers that conference of del
egates Of all the belligerents be held
Immediately in some neutral city.
The task of preventing future wars,
the official statement says, can be be-
gun only after the end of the present
struggle.
The answer, which also contains
the reply of Austria-Hungary, Bull
garia and Turkey, says:
"The high-minded suggestion
made by the President of the United
States of America in order to create
q basis for lasting peace has been re-
ceived and considered by the Imperial
government in the friendly spirit
which was expressed in the Presi-
dents communication.
The President points out that which
he has at heart and leaves open the
choice of roaGs
ITO the imperial government an
exchange of views seems the most
appropriate road to reach desired
results.
I'VE, therefore. suggest an imme-
diate meeting of delegates of the be-
ligerent States at a neutral place. =
The imperial government is also of
the opinion that the great work of
preventing future wars can be begun
only after the end of the present
struggle of the nations.
1T will, when this moment shall
have come, be ready with pleasure
to collaborate entirely with the
SInited States in this exalted task"
The answer of the Central Powers
concludes with the usual diplomatic
terms of politeness.

KILLS BROTHER ON
WEDDING DAY.
w. AND A. DANIELS HAVE AL.
TERCATION WHICH RESULTS
IN FORMERS DEATH.

Lake City. December 26:-News
of a homicide reached us from Han
nah, this county, where it is report
ed that C. Wilbur Daniels was shot
by his brother, Anderson Daniels.
While the reports are conflicting, it
appears that Anderson had warned
him some time ago not to marry
Miss Vera Gaskins. and when on
Sunday afternoon he brought his
wife to the home of Anderson Dan
iels, with whom he was living since
the death of his father, neither his
brother or wife noticed them. which
treatment angered him, and he, with
pistol in hand, went to the room of
his brother and proceeded to club
him with the pistol till he was taken
out by another brother. Later, as
he was entering the front door, he
was shot in the stomach. from which
he died Monday morning.
Shortly after he was shot he made
a statement which would clear his
slayer, but it is reported that he
stated to some parties who were with
him after the shooting that he was
only returning to the house to apol-
ogize to his brother. and that he did
not even have a pocketknife with
him at that time. After examining
the wound DR. Mcleod told him that
he could not live, to which he re-
piled: Il do not hate to die, but |
did not think it was wrong to marry
the girl loved" He made his will
and gave definite instructions with
reference to settling his affairs, one
account of which he enumerated be :
ing only for a dime. showing clearl y
that he was in his right mind. H is
bride is the daughter of J B Gaskins,
highly respected farmer of that
section, and to her he left his life
insurance.

KIVGSTREE SOUTH AROTTNA THURSDAY DECEMBER 2S
PEACE PROSPECTS
SEEM BRIGHTER.
SUCH is THOUGHT TO BE RESULT
OF PRESIDENT WILSON'S RE-
CENT COMMUNICATION.

Washington, December 26:-Ger.
many's reply to President Wilson's
note is regarded here as having ad,
vanced the peace movement another
step despite the fact that it disap-
pointed in meeting his suggestion
for an avowal of terms.
The reception that Germany's re-
ply receives among the entente al
lies whose statesmen have publicly
declared against such programme,
now becomes point upon which
/ further move is hinged. The Ger
man note probably is the prelude to
series of carefully considered deli
cate moves in the great game of
world diplomacy. all possibly leading
to an approach for real discussion
of peace terms on grounds which all
the belligerents may feel can place
them at no disadvantage.
. This is the official view Of Ger
many's reply 80 far as it has been
formulated on the basis of the un-
official text. The official copy had
not been received to night and Pres.
ident Wilson was keeping his mind
open.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too,
. regarded the note as a step toward
peace and rather leaned to the view
that Germany might follow it with
q confidential communication of
some sort outlining her terms.
The view of the entente embas-
sizes. frankly expressed. was that the
note was not an.answer to President
Wilson's communication, but rather
document for circulation in Ger
many and in neutral countries with
the object of moulding opinion to
/ place the responsibility for continu.
| ing the war on the entente.
Among the Germanic diplomats
the only expressed view was one OF
surprise that the reply preceded re-
ceipt of the entente's reply to Ger.
many's original peace proposal OF
December IL.
1t was everywhere agreed that
the principal sticking point was the
lack of definite statement of terms
such as President Wilson asked and
such as Lloyd George declared the
allies would require if they were
not to put their heads in a moose
with a rope end in the hands of the
!
German. 1t is not beyond the
realm of diplomacy, however, to
find a way to bridge the difficulty
and Germany's failure is not yet re-
garded as block to the negotiations
although it makes them exceedingly
difficult.
| Germany's declaration that she
regards the work of securing the
world against future wars as work
to be taken up after the present
conflict is ended was regarded with
a diversity of opinion.
Officials who turned back and
compared the statement with
phrases of President Wilson's note
/ did not find the two out of harmony
nor in disagreement with the Presi-
dents public utterances on world
league, to preserve peace; yet there
was an indefnable opinion abroad in
official quarters that the ending of
the war and the safeguarding Of
peace of tee future were joint prob
lens so inseparable that one depend
ed on the other. Those taking this
view referred to Lloyd Georges
declaration that the allies would
consider it possible to enter con-
i ference only if Germany would
first openly offer PREPARATION, re-
stitution and guarantees"

NEW YORK, N. Women OF the
state of New York are to be given
voice In whether or. not the saloon
shall be in the various communities
of the state IL the legislative program
uroposed by the Anti-Saloon League
Of New York is carried into law next
year. The main feature OF the pro-
posed legislation is an optional pro-
hibition bill. This bill, which Wilt
am H. Anderson, secretary OF the
league. declares can be operated sue
cessfully, will work as follows:
If the majority of the citizens OF q
community, including every man and
woman who has the qualifications Or
dinarily required of a voter, file
signed remonstrance with a proper
Judge. that magistrate will be required
to appoint a day for a hearing, at
which he will preside in a judicial
capacity; and if 1t is found that the
remoustrance has been duly signed
by 81 per cent or more of the COM
munity's residents who would be en-
titled to vote on the question. the sa-
looms are forced to suspend opera
lions for two wears and indefinitely
thereafter until 1t can be shown that
majority of the citizens desire the
return of the saloon.
"a woman can sign consent al
lowing a saloon to establish itself In
Ecommunity," says Mr.. Anderson.
Then why not let her have a say in
putting it out of the community! We
have consulted the suffrage leaders
on this question and the bill has their
good will"
He explains that the proposition OF
the league is distinct from the idea OF
woman suffrage, it being applied to
the prohibition remonstrance alone.
The bill, he says, has been drafted
with a view to fitting in tremendously
with the existing system OF state laws
and will provide that the women be
registered on separate days and In
separate books for the purpose OF yot-
ing on the prohibition question.
1--WE are going forward with great
confidence to attain our ideal Mr..
Anderson said. Two years ago, when
we commenced our work, the liquor
interests were scornfully unworried.
Now that attitude is reversed. They
are on the defensive and we have the
confidence of the people. The liquor
interests have been saying that the
work Of the Anti-Saloon League has
been failure, and that the $4,000
which we have spent in our work this
year has been wasted.
AS matter of fact, the league, in
% months, has doubled its staff OF
workers and tripled its equipment.
Five vacancies in congress have been
filled by men pledged to vote for the
bill submitting to the states an amend
ment for national prohibition. Their
predecessors were against the amend
ment. The state senate of New York
has demonstrated by its attitude that
il is aware of the sentiment of the
people regarding the liquor question.
AS 1t is now in this state, our cities
are disfranchised- On the liquor ques-
ton" Mr.. Anderson said. They

Fire Importance of engineers In
Time Of war is now universally recog-

steps have been taken to arouse the
interest OF the engineering profession

has now provided means by which
the civil engineers can more fully
prepare themselves for that highest
duty of citizens-the defense OF our
country. An engineer section OF the
officers and enlisted reserve corps has
been authorized, and in the opinion
of the chief Of engineers there is for

active assistance in making success
of the new corps. All the engineers
in the country should be informed
of the existence of this new corps
end those possessing the necessary
qualifications should be enrolled as its
members. A close cooperation be-
tween our engineer officers and the
civilian engineers is therefore neces-
sary, and fortunately the first steps in
such cooperation have been already
taken by the action of some of the
