"At present American books are max
ing an appeal not % the British literary
public but to the general public. You
cannot say that American authors are
unknown in England. Many of them are
known to the general public. The Amer
lean military invasion of England intro
dueed to the British booksellers the au-
thors that American soldiers wanted to
read. Among these authors we're Booth
Harrington, iona Gale and Kathleen Nor
MS. Jack London, of course, had been
pretty well known in England, but dur
ing the war he was brought out in cheap
editions, and these were widely circulated
The demand for these writer's has kept
them on sale, and believe the tendency
of American writers and the experiences
they describe will make them more and
more in demand In England
"What was the most prevalent motive
among English writers before the warf
That motive was the fear Of life and the
picturesqueness of personal failures.
Then they were writing in an overcrowd-
ed world where men had no particular.
chance. Heroic types were not within
their knowledge. They wrote of the
types they did know, and these were
failures. But the American public never
did want to read about failures, and in
both America and England the type that
will count most in the next ten or fifteen
years will be the man or woman who Is
morally and physically brave.
II do not deny that on the lower levels
of fiction the man who writes with the
idea of a tawdry sex appeal is still In
the saddle, but that man Will have to
buck up. Five years from now there will
be a new set of writers. They will be
the men who were at the front; there
will be a new cleanness and new spirit
in literature.
"Of this I am sure, that there is, no
prejudice in England to-day against the
American writer. It must be remeln-
bered, however, that the American writer
has to educate the British public into
knowledge of the environment of the peo-

he is to follow one great work with an
other.
"The British are brought up with IN
tense local affections. But the war has
set men voyaging. Men who once found
satisfaction in this intense local affection
Will want bigger surge of experience In
the literature they read, and think Wen
see the American book coming into its
own In the British market. Not books
of social problems, because American So
-eial problems are too similar to those Of
England, but rather books of nation
building and nature, desert stories and
especially those stories in which one man
finds himself pitted against the forces OF
nature; these, 1 think, viii make a wider
and wider appeal 10 the British reading
public.

DEMOCRATS TO SEE NEW DEAL

Governor-elect Albert C. Ritch-
lie has not been doing much talk
ing since the election. And
what is more, his friends declare
that he will not indulge in much
political conversation for the
public ear. AS far as his utter
ances have gone, however, he will
do his own thinking and This own
acting. In view .of scattered
hints during and since the cleo
ton, a new deal all .around may
be expected after he gets down
to the job of making appoint
ments.
He declared repeatedly, during
the campaign, that the first task
which he would tackle, if elected
governor, would be to eliminate
the word faction" from the
Democratic dictionary. It is to
be assumed, therefore, that the
Mahon and Kelly factions, will be
equally recognized in the distribu-
ton of patronage. It may be
possible for the new governor to
bring Mahon and Kelly together.
If successful in such q move he
will tighten his burdens. If he
fails, Frank A. Furst, who took
charge of the campaign during
its closing days, will again be a
trouble station. It looks as
though Mr.. Furst will exercise a
great deal of influence with Mr..
Richie. His aim is also to bring
Mahon and Kelly together.
Another Democrat who will
have Mr.. Ritchie's ear, is Major
b. Brooke Lee, the comptroller
elect. The two candidates were
boon companions during the can
paign. A strong friendship
sprang up between them. Many
Democrats are wondering wheth-
er United States Senator John
Walter Smith will be a candidate
next year for another terra. He
has given no information himself
on the question. While at An
napolis during the legislative
session of 1916 he declared that
he was looking to the setting
sun" and that the burdens Of
political leadership of the state
must fall upon younger should
ers. Senator Smith was not
very active in the recnnt cam
paign.
If he is not a candidate for |
another term the way will be |
open unopposed to former Sena-
tor Bla r Lee for the nomination
If Senator Smith should seek |
another term, it looks as though |
the influence of the state ad-
ministration will line up behind |
Senator Lee.
There are two men who are
reasonably sure of any office
within the gift of the next gov
ernor. They are, John J. Requ-
ardt and Philip B. Periman, who
have served as deputy Attorney |
Generals under Mr.. Richie. |
They have been loyal to him and
there has been no service which
they could render for his advan-
cement which has not been gladly |
given. Either Mr.. Requardt or
Mr.. Periman will be secretary Of
state.
Mr.. Ritchie's domestic house
hold in Annapolis will be presided
over by his mother, a most charm
ing woman, who will give grace
to the executive mansion.

The New Overland Cars.

From the time the New Model
Overland car was put on the market
lis has been the marvel of those who
have observed its many very excel
lent qualities and advantages. In the
first place, the Overland manufac-
turers are turning out a car that is
within reach of the purse of every in
dividual who is able to own any car
at all. 1t possesses number of the
Improvements that were found on the
high priced Overland cars. Every;
one who rides in a Model a narvels
at the superior springs with which it
is equipped, making riding easy and
comparable over the roughest roads.
Read what is contained in the full
page advertisement of the Overland
Four in this issue. These cars are
sold in Edgefeld and vicinity by Mr..
J. D. Holstein, Jr., and in Johnston
and vicinity by the Consolidated
Auto Company which is managed by
Mr.. j. P. Bland. If you contemplate
buying car, communicate with one
of these gentlemen, the one who is in

Fuel Very High in China.

Mr.. Henry w. Jackson was in
Edgefeld yesterday and stated that
he received letter a few days ago
from his son, Rev. John Jackson,
who is missionary in Shanghai,
China. 1t is already cold in China and
everything points to severe winter
with coal selling for $3.50 per ton.
They have no other kind of fuel ex-
cept coal. With necessities selling for
such prices, missionaries do not live
as luxuriously on their small salaries
as some people are inclined to be-
lieve.

TRUSTING Ex-coNVIcTs

Warden Murtha of Blackwell's Is
land has had eighteen years. expert
ence with offenders against the law.
Recently he gathered together his
"reminiscences and reviewed his ex-
periences with convicts. Fifteen
years ago, he said, he sent for a pris-
oner, soon to be discharged. "Jim, 4"
he said, you have been here two or
three trips; hope you will not come
back" 81 hope so, too, Warden"
answered the prisoner, "but it is hard
for a fellow with my record to get on
his feet" "Well, you'll have to try
something if you're not to become a
confirmed criminal" said Murtha.
"Have you any money sailed away, or
any friend to help you?" ''Not one"
the prisoner replied. Murtha thought
he knew human nature; he therefore
said: "Jim, 1 have dug up $500 and
| am going to gamble it on men like
you. / believe you are on the square
or will be with me. If you are and
you get on your feet, send back the
money when you can spare it. If
you send it back, I'll keep it working
BY passing it on to some other fellow
who is worthy Of a life If you
