FOR CITY ENIPLOHES.

Almost without exception the sev- Sral boards and commissions of the aity will ask the Common Council for Increases in the pay envelopes of their lmployes and many individual bids for Iaore money will be submitted by Rlerks and officials. The move to get slore cash is nothing more than the apirit of the times and it will be 2ound, upon investigation that most of bhe demands are justified.
 There was q time when holding q Iity job was considered pretty soft" There was a minimum of work, the outsider thought, and a very good remuneration for that work. But that period has passed. Tn the hurried rise In wages throughout nearly every in lustry the municipal payroll looks |mall indeed, the individual salary Lppears scarcely large enough to sus- lain life and comfort.

 A fine of $2 was imposed on George Rudman, arrested yesterday afternoon for parking his automobile on the north side of Church street: Rudman claimed that he was delivering Sro- ceries to the Victory Lunch rooms but this did not excuse him from paying the penalty.

HER SON.
(Lizette Woodwork Reese in G temDOrarY Verse

(Lizette Woodwork Reese in Con-
 temporary Nerse.) Is there a shop where he comes not
 to buy? Or any book he stoops not down to Or song he sings not? Or 8 golden Tn a fields corner that he draws not
 nigh? Each word stirs up hundred echoes dim ..# Of one he said. Like scent Of dusk on
 stair, Each day spills some new memory
 down the air, And each night roofs another dream
 of him. What of a road where he has never come? All ways have him for house and host
 at last; If they be bare, l think of his white E spring; ..,. If they be not, then am I stricken hs dumb, Their ache of fairness makes his
 presence fast. More certain of my old remembering.

MIX ED JURIES.
ing in Wa ge

Four women, selected as prospec-
 tive members of a jury in connection
 with the trial in Los Angeles Cali
 fornia, of Harry $. New, Jr.. for first
 degree murder, were dismissed be-
 cause they declared themselves op-
 And their release has Inverted what
 might have been another interesting
 test of the mixed jury''
 It was not long ago when a judge
 in Cleveland, Ohio, responding to the
 wishes of a woman brought before
 him for deserting her husband select
 ed twelve prominent society women as
 jurors. The defendant stated that
 "only woman could understand her.
 case" and the judge, willingly gave
 her the benefit of her belief.
 Whereas a panel composed of men, might have in this instance, sentenced
 the woman to term in an institution and given her little children over to
 care of the State, this jury of women
 startled the legal world by handing
 down a different decision. The jurors
 went into the history of the case.
 They found the defendant had suf-
 fered cruelties and poverty at the
 hands of her husband, and when her
 life became unbearable, she took her children and left him. Another man
 provided her with a, home and took care of her children. So this jury of women, mentally placing them selves in the position of the defend- ant saw the situation as she saw it, a. step taken for her children and they decided to give her another chance.
 They handed down a verdict of guilty, but asked the judge for leni- ency He imposed a light fine on the woman, allowed her to keep her children, and sent both men to jail. The jury of women, trying a woman, had upset the old theory that woman is more harsh in her Judg- nent of a woman than is 8 member of the other sex. And by placing her tr,s+ in women, this defendant profit ed.
 Long ago, in England, when the trial by jury first came into practice, 1 if was the custom to select women jurors to try members of their own sex charged with certain crimes. These women, fearing perhaps they would be judged by others as they ! judged others, were unusually severe 1 in their trial of women brought be- 1 fore them, and the practice of se- l 1ecting panels of women, died in 1 consequence. 1 The modern woman is different in 1 her makeup. She has proved, and l the proof becomes daily more obvious, that she is capable of taking her l place with her brother in many duties l of a citizen heretofore borne by mon 1 only. The time is coming when
 woman tried by a jury of men will l be looked upon as an anticipated prac- l tice of the old world, and every panel l will include in it's personnel '|slx l good women, and true"

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WILL BE RATIFIED
Hitchcock Believes Senate Will Act
Favorably-Not to Be Amended.
VIXEN Covenant Reaches United
States it Will Be Satisfactory
in Main, Says Senator.

Washington, April 1.-Senator
Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign
relations committee in the last SEN
ate, speaking tonight before the
Washington Commercial Club, ex-
pressed the belief that the proposed
covenant of the league of nations
would be amended Gas public opin-
ion has. demanded" and together with
the peace treaty would be ratified
without change when submitted to
the senate. The Nebraska senator
urged the necessity of a prompt
peace settlement in order to stop the
spread of lawlessness in Europe.
"This treaty when it comes to the
senate" Senator Hitchcock said,
"will have had the benefit of criti-
cism not only in the United States
but in other countries and will prob
ably include such amendments as
public opinion has demonded.
"When the peace settlement comes
over here for the ratification >of the
senate it will probably be too late
for the senate to attempt amend
ments. And amendment adopted by
the senate would have to 60 back for
acceptance by the other 13 nations
and that would delay the peace set
tlement for a long time. Delays are
always said to be dangerous and in
this case they are dangerous in the
highest degree because at the pres
ent time the very life of civilization
in Europe is at stake. If a peace
settlement is not produced at an
early date the spread of lawlessness
and despair may involve still more
of Europe"

THE TRIALS OF HOME COMING

Corp. Mack Reid was one Of the
first soldier to return to Abbeville
after the arrival of the Thirtieth at
Camp Jackson. The young soldier
came in over the Southern at eleven
twenty on Tuesday morning. He felt
very much like a warrior bold until
he reached the depot and caught
sight of the fifty canteen ladies and
another half a hundred interested
spectators on hand to "welcome"
him. This was too much for a strong
mans nerve and he "tip-toed" back
into the coach until he could re-
gain his composure, then he showed
himself and received his welcome.
This was a genuine "no mans land"
and the young corporal is sure there
are more trying ordeals than break
ing the Hindenburg line.

President and Premiers Take Action
Situation Not Clear-Revolutions
Said to Have Been Brought
About Largely by Mistaken
Ideas of Intentions.

Paris, April 2.-President Wilson
and the premiers in conference al
the "White House" today decided to
send to South Hungary for informa'
tion concerning the situation and to
remove the misunderstanding that
has arisen regarding the frontiers OF
new states. It has been said that the
revolutions have largely beer
brought about by a mistaken notion
regarding the intentions Of the al
lied commission in Hungary.
The council continued it's consid.
Grafton of reparations today. There
is no indication of a final decision
but it was said some progress was
made. responsibilities for the wal
also were further discussed. This
question has introduced a fresh ele.
ment of delay, as the committee or
responsibilities was unable to reach
an unanimous decision.
President Wilson today received a
letter from King Alfonso approving
the league of nations and expressing
Spain's desire to join with the Unit.
ed States in this respect.
King Albert of Belgium will call
on President Wilson tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock to discuss the in
terests of Belgium now before the
council and also to request the loca-
tion of the seat of the league of ma
tions in Brussels, matter in which
he is deeply interested.

ESCAPES GREENWOOD.

Cornelius Vanderbilt, = Jr., came
through Abbeville on Tuesday on
his way from Florida to New York.
He liked the town so well that he
stopped for the night, staying at the
Eureka Hotel, with brother jamie
son, and behaving much like any
other individual.
He had been through this section
before, but on his other trip he pass
ed through Greenwood, and it seems
that all the small boys and most of
the grown men, who had never be-
fore seen anybody from New York
with more than a dollar and half
surrounded his automobile, trying to
get look at him, making him feel
like monkey show, and thus delay
ed him for several hours on his trip.
Not desiring to run into this kind of
luck again, he made his way this
time through Abbeville where a
great many rich men live, and where
the small boys are accustomed to
seeing big men, and where one of
this variety feels at home with so
many of his fellows.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was so we'll pleas
ed with Abbeville and the Eureka
that we expect him to return again
shortly when ne will have longer to
stay. In fact he has about conclud-
ed. to do so if there is any way to
keep the news of his coming away
fl ON Greenwood.
He travelled in his fine Mercer
racer, which was arrested in Savan-
nah a few days ago because it ran
too fast. In Abbeville, however, he
met with no such luck, our policemen
being fast set themselves and not
worrying about small matters of less
than hundred miles an hour.
