SOUTH FOR HUGHES.

The Solid South" is for Hughes, &C
cording to one stray authority who bel
lows in the New York Commercial
May be true, very true-but we doubt
it. Just to show you what is going
among the Hughes propagandists, here
is a clipping from the Commercial:
Sir: In talking with prominent man
of affairs today from the South, he
stated that while the South was a
democratic section, large majority of
the thinking men of the South are go
ing to vast their vote for Mr.. Hughes.
He stated further that a great many
voters in that section are exceedingly
displeased with section were exceed
ingly pleased with President Wilson's
attitude and action in the matter of the
recent railroad legislation.
The coming election, therefore, it
seems to me, offers a great opportun-
ity for the solid South" to prove to
the citizens of the United States that
their thinking men are in the majority.

THE COURT CALENDARS.

Interest has been aroused in Stewart
and Lee counties through the Richland
News and the Lee County Journal in
favor of the courts of those counties
setting a calendar of cases for trial in
order to save much time subpoenaing
witnesses to court. After this calendar
Sc arranged, we would suggest that the
courts follow it as much as is practi-
cable There is much delay in the
courts-and this is partial explana-
tion Of the unrest of the people They
want the officials of the court to CO.
operate for speedy trial and justice, in
both civil and criminal cases-anG not
continual wrangle of delay
The Lee County News has the fol-
lowing editorial on the matter:
In another column is a clipping from
the Americas Times-Recorder relating
to the publishing of schedule or cal
endar of the Superior Court. Why this
thing has not been the custom is
strange. Probably because nobody has
had the temerity to demand it. 1t
would certainly be of great advantage
to every one concerned with very little
extra cost to the county. AS it now is,
a person having a case, or witness
III court has to attend court a full
week, not knowing what hour he may
be called. When, if for instance, his
case were set for Thursday, he would
save three days list time for himself,
and in all probability four or five of
his farm laborers would be away from
work at an important time Let this
subject be discussed before the next
grand jury.

SEYRES.

AS women of all ages and of every
nation have joyfully barred their fng-
ers of rings and their arms of amulets
to supply the sinews of war for sold
iers fighting in defense of their homes;
as the mellow peal of myriad bells has
been stilled in order that their metal
might be nodded into brazen-t hroated
cannon; as the statues of heroes are
overthrow and the material recast
irto shrapnel shell; as costly fabrics
are torn into bandages for the sorely
wounded, SO in this hour of national
travail France has seen fit to convert
her incompatible porcelain factory at
Seyres into plant for the production
of crude, gross, ungainly earthern
pots and retorts required in the man
ufacture of high explosives.
The National Geographic Society
has issued an interesting war geogra-
ply bulletin on Sevres which now as
sumes a position in industrial France
complementary to the great ordinance

The Public
Safety ValDe


ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Sept. 81, 1916.
Editor Americas Times Recorder.
After the war what? Most likely a
defensive alliance for all the European
states will be the outcome of this last
great war among them. A certain sec
ton OF these warning nations who
trusted in the power of the might to
conquer and rule all the world, as well
as the remaining ones who believed
only less in the power of arms and
ornaments, will thus be led to see that
the brotherhood of man is the basic
principle of all permanent peace.
Awful as the present experience of
Europe is, it has probably fastened by
hundreds of years the universal ac-
acknowledgement and adoption of the
principle that right, not might, is the
best law for the welfare of nations.
Then why prolong 1.-TWO years car
mage has been decisive of nothing) an
unnecessary and useless conflict, that
can only result in the exhaustion of
these selfsame powers and the century
long misery of the great masses of
all these people? If a new Hague
Conference were to sit continuously
until the peoples of these countries
compelled their rulers to sumbit their
differences to its decisions, peace might
come sooner than anyone would ina
lie. What greater role could America
have than to be the first to take this
decisive step, and work for it inces-
sanity until its fulfillment came?
Yours very truly,

TWO LONDON CLUBS COM
WANDERED FOR WAR PURPOSES
F. L. FISHBAUGH.

LONDON, Sept. 30-The National
Liberal Club and the Constitutional
Club, two of the most widely known
London clubs, have been Communicated
for war administration purposes. Both
buildings are close to the War Office
and the Ministry of Munitions. Like
all of the clubs of London these two
have suffered such a large decrease in
membership through the war that the
action of the government will incon-
venience only handful of the older
members.

about 10000, is one of the oldest
towns in the vicinity of Paris, but it
aid not become the center of porcelain
manufacture in France until 1855
when the factory established six year,
previously in Vincennes by the broth
crs Dubois was transferred to this
point. Three years later the establish
ment was taken over by the govern
ment and under the patronage of
Louis XIV it soon began to flourish.
Not only Louis but two of the most
Influential members of his court-the
Marquise de Pompadour and the Com
lessen du Barry-also took deep in
terest in the beautiful products of the
factory. The colors "bleu de roi, +"
rose Pompadour" and rose du Bar
ry" are enduring testimonials of their
patronage.
AT the outset only sole porcelain
now called vieux Sevres, was manu-
featured here but the success of the
potters of Saxony with hard porcelain
ard the discovery of deposits of kaolin
near Limoges caused the French to
carry on valuable experiments which
bore fruit in the broadened scope of
the Sevres works in succeeding years.
During the French Revolution
porcelain manufacture was practically
suspended, but with the ascendancy of
Napoleon Seyres became /. populous
and thriving center of artistic indus
try, for with each great victory in
the field the emperor desired fresh
table service to communicate the
event, and special vases were ordered
for all occasions. One of the most
famous of these vases was the mas
sive piece of porcelain designed to
celebrate the marriage of the great
soldier-statesman-ruler to Marie Lou
Use of Austria. The principal decora-
tive group, in basrelief, contained 115
figures, while the secondary group,
representing the poulace shouting
congratulations and good wishes, had
from 1000 to 1000 figures.
THE magnificent Musee Ceramin-
iIue, Occupying the ground and
first floors of the factory and contain
ing examples of porcelain of every
country and every age, was establish
ed in 1906 by Alexander Brongniart
who was appointed director of the
establishment by Napoleon and re-
