AMERICAN BOAT
PASSES THROUGH
THE DANCER ZONE

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 16.--The Ameri-
can line steamer Philadelphia, the first
passenger vessel flying the United
States flag to leave Europe since the
inauguration of the latest German sub
marine campaign, departed from this
port Wednesday for New York. An
Iouncement of the ships sailing was
delayed by the censor in accordance
with new admiralty regulations pro-
mulgated in an effort to prevent in,
formation of sailings reaching Ger
nan u-boat commanders.
The Philadelphia which is one of the
finest vessels owned by the American
line and which has been engaged in
transatlantic service since before the
war began. is unarmed, and among the
passengers taking passage for New
York were thirty-eight Americans. The

AMERICANS ARE
TOLD To LEAVE
AUSTRIA BY j. s.

PARIS, Feb. 16-Americans in Aus
tria have been warned from Washing
ton to leave that country without de-
lay. The warning is believed here to
Iortend an early severance of diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and the Vienna government.
Since Austria announced its adher-
ence to the German submarine policy,
q break between the two countries
has been anticipated, and the recent
sinking of the American schooner Ly-
man NJ. Law by an Austrian submarine
il is believed here, will hasten the
handing of passports to the Austrian
envoy at Washington. Difficulties ex-
perienced by American citizens desir-
ing to leave Germany, probably are
responsible for the patience exhibited
by President Wilson, who desires TO
give all Americans in Austria ample
time to depart before breaking of
intercourse with Vienna.

COUPLES ON TOUR

Two newly married couples travelling
In Ford cars, we're visitors in Ameri-

L. W. Robbins and Mr.. and Mrs. w.
T. Hendricks, of Oklahoma City, Okla.
They are travelling In two cars, AMI
have all the camping paraphernalia
with them. They have been coming
from Oklahoma since September 28th.
The men are travelling statesmen, and
the members of the party eat and
sleep in their cars. All say they have
enjoyed the trip immensely, with the
exception Of one or two nights during
the recent severe cold spell, when they
were unable to secure hotel accom-
modations at hotel and were forced
to sleep in their cars.
They are going down through Flor
ida and upon their return home will
go through the Carolinas. They said
the best roads they have been over
are those in Georgia, ar that they are
in love with the state on account of
the good roads here, the sunshine and
ideal climate, and that the noticeable
Improvement in weather conditions
since they struck Georgia has a good
deal to do with their falling in love
with the Empire State OF the South.

STORY OF GREAT
PICTURE IS TOLD

See among the fine collection Of
pictures to be exhibited next week at
the Furlow Grammar school will be
Raphael's Madonna of The Chair" No
picture of Raphael's is so universally
popular; no work of modern art is
so we'll known.
There is a beautiful legend told
about about this picture, which ex-
plains it's circular shape.
Many years ago there lived an old
hermit named Bernado, who was dear
ly loved in the valley where he made
his home.
Near Bernado's hut was large oak
tree, of which he was very fond. The
wind whispering through the branches
seemed to talk to him. and tell him
tales of bygone days. Bernado had
beautiful young friend named Mary,
the daughter of vine dresser, who liv-
ed near by and she often came to the
hut to talk with the old hermit
There was once terrible storm,
which shook the little hut so that
Bernado had to find shelter in the
branches of the old tree. Mary thought
of her old friend during the terrible
storm, anad sent her father to his al.
The vine dresser finding Bernad0 weak
and hungry. took hi INTO his home,
where he spent the rest of his life.
Bernado prayed that Madonna the old
rec should receive a blessing to re-
ward them for their goodness to him.
The hermit died. The old tree was cut
down and made into wine casks. Mary
was married and became the mother of
two beautiful boys. One day she was
sitting with her baby in her arms,
and her older boy at her side. A young
man passed by; this young man was
Raphael He stopped and took out
his pencil. Picking up the cover of a
new wine cask he drew this group up
on it. took it home and painted the
beautiful picture which has been fam
ous over the world.
If this legend be true, the hermit's
prayer has been wonderfully answer
ed, for this picture has given JOY to
thousands OF people.
The painting now hangs in the gal
lery of the Petit Palace, in Florence,
Italy.

MOULTRIE FRIENDS BACK
LdTTLEJOHN FOR e. S. JUDGE

The mention of Judge z. A. Little
jChn's name in connection with the
