[headline, spans cols. 1-3] PRESIDENT BEGINS A 2ND ANCONA NOTE ----------o---------- ON AUSTRIA THE FUTURE RELATION WILL NOW DEPEND ----------o---------- ALL DEPENDS ON THE REPLY AUSTRIA WILL BE ASKED FOR AT ONCE. ----------o---------- [torn] ULTIMATUM IS NOT [torn]GED BY THE OFFICIALS ----------o---------- But it is Stated That the Note Will Indicate Clearly the Alternatives Which Will Follow if Austria Makes an Unsatisfactory Reply—Gravity of Situation Will Not, However, Prevent the Honeymoon Tour of the President. ----------o---------- Washington, Dec. 18—The president began work on a second note to Austria on the sinking of the Ancona. Friendly relations between the United States and Austria it is stated authoritavely are near the breaking point and their continuance depends entirely upon the reply Austria will [torn]ed to make immediately.
[torn] the word ultimatum is not [torn] officials in discussing it, it in[torn] the reply will state clearly [init]iatives which will follow if [Austria's] reply is unsatisfactory.
[The gra]vity of the situation will [not, how]ever, cause the president to [delay?] his departure tonight for [torn] on his wedding tour. The [president?] will keep in close touch with [the White?] House while away.
[torn] [Secreta]ry Lansing sent to White [sentence blotted] [torn] his view of what the second [note sho]uld contain. The president [immediate]ly began drafting a note [torn] meet Secretary later today. will go forward within a few [torn]. ----------o---------- Austria's Reply Public.
[Wash]ington, Dec. 18.—The Aus[trian?] note in reply to that of the United [States] on the Ancona, made public at [torn] each out in the main excerpts [car?]ried in the news dispatch. It [consis]ts of about a thousand words [torn] [br]iefly and sharply states Aus[tria's?] viewpoint, and suggests the fur[torn] [ther?] exchange of correspondence. In [the last] sentence Austria says: "The [torn] with which the government [of the] United States considers it ne[cessary] to blame the commanding of[ficers?] of the submarine connected in [the af]fair, and the finances in which [torn] mands addressed to the imperial [torn] royal government appear to be [torn] [blurry], might well have warranted [torn] expectation that the government [of the] United States should precisely [speci]fy the actual circumstances of [the?] affair upon which it bases its [torn]. ----------o---------- Denials Made.
The note reveals further that the Vienna government denies that the view presented by United States; even if [corect?] warrants blame for the disaster being placed upon the commander of the submarine.
It also denies that blame can be placed upon the Austro-Hungarian government even if a "most rigorous legal construction be applied to the judgment in the case."
That note also states that the AustroHungarian government is unable to determine what the United States intended to indicate when it mentioned the attitude which Germany assumed toward submarine warfare.
Full Freedom of View.
It adds that if the United States "intended to express an opinion to the effect that a prejudice of whatever nature existed" with respect to "juricial consideration" of the affair, the Vienna government declares that it reserves to itself full "freedom of maintaining its own legal view." ------------------------o------------------------- ATLANTA, GEORGIA NOW IS GOIN'A WALLOP AUSTRIA ----------o---------- Atlanta, Dec. 17—Atlanta members of the Georgia militia are excited with an interest that is by no means impersonal in the sensational press dispatches of the past twenty-four hours from Washington indicating the practical certaint yof a break between the country an dAustria. Many of the officers who have been close students of the situation since the European war broke out, believe that the Austrian incident will swell to such proportions that the possibility of the United States becoming involved in a military way will become acute.
Never in the history of things military has there been such an interest in enlistment and [recruiting?] as there is in Atlanta right now. It is partly brought about by a photoplay propaganda urging military preparedness, [cut off]

"The countries of South America" says Mr. Chandler "are repidly regaining the financial stability and are looking to the United States to suppy their wants because of their inability to buy from Europe. Europe is pouring money into South America, especially Argentina and Uruguay, for meat and other foodstuffs and this money is ready to be exchanged in the United States for manufactured goods and other products which are essential in the every day life of South Americans.
He personally interviewed over 500 merchants and buyers, learned of more than 1,000 specific trade opportunities for Southern manufacturers, and gathered a vast amount of first hand information which is now at the disposal of Southern business men who wish to enter the South American field. He collected samples of cotton fabrics that are wanted in South America and secured trade directories and other books of great value.
Mr. Chandler was received with great cordiality by the business men and official of the countries he visited who expressed great appreciation of the entrprise of the Southern and affiliated lines in endeavoring to build up trade with their countries and his visit was also given much prominence in the South American press. ------------------------o------------------------- AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO NAMED ----------o---------- Washington, Dec. 17—Henry P.

They are Paul Koenig, former head of the [blotted] investigation for the Hambur[g-Ame]rican line who is charged with being the head of the German secret [service?] in this country, Richard E. Ley[endecker] [faded]-goods retailer, a naturalized American said to be employed by Koenig and Frederick Metzler said to have been Koenig's secretary. George Fuch is also held in custody. Fuch is alleged to have told the story of the conspiracy after becoming angered at Koenig because he would not pay fifteen dollars Fuchs said he owed him.
Koenig first [blotted] public notice when Gustav [blotted] guns were on the Lusitania [torn] told the police he could [torn] in Albany. The cases pro[torn] ed by department justi[torn].

Clerk Confesses.
New York, Dec. 18—Later detectives said Schleindt confessed and said he obtained the information for Paul Koenig arrested with the others last night. ------------------------o------------------------- GOVERNOR NAT. HARRIS WANTS TO SUCCEED SELF ----------o---------- Atlanta, Dec. [18?]—It can now be stated on reliable authority that Gov. Nat. D. Harris will be a candidate for re-election.
The governor stated yesterday to newspaper men that he would give out a statement in the near future in which he would make known his intentions. Although he did not say that his statement would be a formal announcement, it is known that such will be the case.
Some days ago, shortly following the adjournment of the extra session of the general assembly, Governor Harris gave the Atlanta newspapers an interview saying he would like to know the feeling over the state as to whether he should offer for a second term.
In response to this interview the governor has received a great many letters, as well as personal visits, from citizens representing every section of the state, urging him to become a candidate.
The governor, it is stated on reliable authority has not arrived at his decision hastily, but on the contrary has been inclined to weigh conservatively the evidences of a desire that he serve the state for another two years as chief executive.
He is now thoroughly satisfied, it is further stated, that his efforts toward the enactment of the new [prohibit?] on laws, as well as the stand he has taken on other important public questions, have met with general approval and that an announcement of his candidacy will be favorably received. ------------------------o------------------------- BIBLE DAY ----------o---------- Nashville, Dec.

From time to time during the early months of 1916 many centennial celebrations will be held, and these will culminate in a second Universal Bible Sunday on May 7, 1916, one hundred years after the foundation of the American Bible Society in 1816.

[headline, spans cols 5-6] WEDDING DAY OF THE PRESIDENT WITH MRS. GALT DAWNS IN RAIN ----------o---------- DAY GAVE PROMISE OF FURNISHING WORST WEATHER OF LATE AUTUMN. ----------o---------- LEAVE FOR SOUTH AFTER CEREMONY ----------o---------- Details of the Honeymoon Not Announced But Southern Trip Will Be Taken—No Traffic is Allowed on the Block in Which the Residence of Mrs. Galt is Situated—Extra Large Force of Police and Secret Service Men. ----------o---------- Washington, Dec. 18—The president's wedding day dawned dismally with a drizzling rain falling. The day gave promise of furnishing the worse weather of the late autumn. The detailing of the honeymoon is not announced but it is known the couple will leave for the [illegible] after the ceremony. No traffic is allowed on the block in which Mrs. Galt's home is situated, and an extra large force of police and secret service men is on guard. ------------------------o------------------------- SLY TRICK BY THE LIQOUR INTERESTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT. ----------o---------- Made an Attempt to Create an Impression That the Health of the Present Governor Was too Bad to Permit Him to Make the Race Again—Other Shady Deeds. ----------o---------- Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 18—One of the most interesting inside political stories of the year has come to light in Atlanta and is being enjoyed with keen relish by those to whom it has been told. The facts which are herewith published for the first time, are secured from absolutely reliable sources.
On the night before the adjournment of the recent extra session of the legislature a caucus was held in a well known Atlanta hotel by the opponents of the prohibition bills, and at this caucus a complete program was mapped out to oppose the men supporting the bills, from Governor Harris down to the last man on the roll call of the house and senate.
Some of the leading men in state politics were present, some of the most astute advisors of the liquor interests in the United States were there to give counsel, and the caucus was presided over by a paid agent of the liquor interests "who looks after things in Georgia."
The plan agreed upon to defeat Governor Harris should he stand for re-election was: First, to circulate the report that his health was very feeble, keeping him away from the capitol most of the time; second to launch a [blurry] that would bring into the race a prohibition leader of unquestioned sincerity and ability, thereby taking prohibition strength from Governor Harris; third, to bring out a third candidate who would profess prohibition but who would in reality have the full support, financial and otherwise, of the liquor intersts.
That the first move is underway is evidenced by many letters Governor Harris has received from friends over the state [solilcitously?] inquring about his health. Replying to these, he has stated the simple facts, i. e., that his health was never better and he is in his office every day.
The second and third moves will develop in the next few days.
Besides opposing the governor and prohibition members of the legislature, it was determined to oppose Congressman Wm. Schley Howard of the Fifth (Atlanta) district because he appeared before legislature [blurry] been in advocacy of the prohibition bills. It is understood a member of the Fulton county house delegation was selected for this role. He is [blurry] "feeling out the ground."
Furthermore, it was determined that Georgia delegates to the National Democractic convention in 1916 shall oppose national prohibition as a platform plank.
It was further determined that the state executive committee shall fix the rules of the next primary so as to aid the [faded] program.
Georgia's political history for the next two years, if not for many more, will hinge on the success or failure of these undertakings. ------------------------o------------------------- POSTPONED. ----------o---------- Nashville, Dec. 18—The World's [cut off]

DELEGATES TO A PEACE CONGRESS HAVE HARD TRIP ----------o---------- DISPATCH FROM BERNE TELLS OF CONFERENCE ON A DURABLE PEACE. ----------o---------- SEVEN COUNTRIES ARE REPRESENTED IS SAID ----------o---------- What Countries Are Represented is Not Announced Because of Embargo Agreement and Danger Resulting in Peace Meetings and Congress Not Pushing Peace Propaganda But Are Merely Preparing for Social and Economic Conditions After War. ----------o---------- Berne, Dec. 18—After many vicissitudes in getting across the border enough delegates to the International congress to study the basis of a durable peace arrived to permit a meeting of the council. It is reported that seven countries are represented, but who they are, is not announced because of embarrassment and danger resulting from participation in peace meetings. The congress officials em[blotted] merely preparing for the social and economic conditions coming after the war. ------------------------o------------------------- WHY DECISION WAS UNANIMOUS. ----------o---------- In yesterday's story of the passage of the road-bond issue it was stated that the decision in the Greenville case was unanimous. It should be borne in mind that the unanimity in this case was of a technical nature rather than otherwise.
There were two bond issue cases up before the supreme court, one from Richland, the other from Greenville. The one from Richland came on the court's calendar before the one from Greenville, and the decision in this case was unanimous. After this the bond issue case from Greenville was taken up and by reason of the decision already rendered in the Richland case was passed upon as a similar case owing to the precedent set by the previous decision. Thus it is seen that the announcement in yesterday's Piedmont was not of the usually understood form of unanimity. ------------------------o------------------------- MONEY WILL BE SPENT LOCALLY. ----------o---------- That is What Will Be Done With Seat Money. ----------o---------- Atlanta, Dec. 18—The anti-tuburculosis money which every city, town and hamlet of Georgia is raising by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals will be spent strictly in local work in the communities where it is raised.
In a statement made this morning which will be of interest everywhere in the state, Secretary James P. Faulkney, head of the W. C. [Hual?] Foundation, which has state supervision of the work explains that of the total sum raised in each community, 59 percent will be retained locally and used purely for local purposes. The next ten per cent is for state wide Georgia work, so that the local community gets the direct benefit of it too.
The only money that goes back to the National Headquarters is 10 per cent, just enough to pay for the actual expenses of making, handling and sending out of the seals. ------------------------o------------------------- JOHNSON FEDERAL JUDGE

INFLUENCE OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH ----------o---------- W. Blanch [blotted] Tells of the Numerous [blotted] Found in All Parts of the [blotted]. ----------o---------- One of the wonders of Russia is the numerous churches that are found in [maps?] of the empire. No matter how [blotted] and poverty stricken a village may be, you will find, comparatively speaking, an expensive church. In the small towns (especially Siberia, the churches are built of boards, frequently covered with oil-cloth—the walls painted white or green. Although the material is cheap, it [is of?] the best quality of the kind, [most?] carefully selected an [betted?] fine [blotted] than any building in the village [blotted] large cities, however, especially in European Russia, the material [blotted] is of the most expensive [blotted]. Many of the churches are built of the finest white marble, beautifully cared, the floor is mosaic [blotted] varied colors, the walls are decorated with faces of Christ, the Virgin and [Oriental?] Saints inlaid with jewel [blotted] precious stones set in gold, and the great domes are covered with pure gold leaf.
The great [dome?] of every church is surrounded by four or more smaller ones that seem to guard it like sentinals. The great dome extends far above all other buildings, and is the first thing seen as one approaches the city. After the sun sinks below the horizion, the reflection on this golden dome gives it the appearance of a [blotted] sun, and as the lingering rays mingle with the rays of the [blurry], this apparent cone of solid gold slowly melts into one of silver.
Contrary to general opinions, there is one place in Russia where all class are on absolute equality—and that is—the church. In the most expensive churches, neither money nor birth can secure a favored place. [blurry] these gilded domes, noblemen, peasants and begger regardless of dress [blurry] kneel side by side to offer up their prayers.
In Russia, the traveler is not only impressed by the magnitude and wonderful influence of the church, but also by the lavish devotion of the peasant to their religious [blurry] In the finest mansion or the humblest hut, you will find the gilded Ikon before which the devout Russian prostrates himself from ten to twenty times a day, before everything he eats or drinks, he will cross himself and murmur his prayers.
In order to become more familiar with the life of the peasant under varying conditions, I spent nearly two days in a first class railway coach, which is only one class above the ordinary immigrant car. The majority of the passengers were immigrants and it was almost pitiful to see them with religious devotion.
On the Sicilian road, stops are few, but long, and as the first opportunity in the morning, these people would [illegible] from the car, [torn] the sun and impatiently un-- (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE)

[image of Mary Pickford] DAILY TALKS By Mary Pickford Copyright 1915, by The McClure Newspaper [blurry] DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERES.
ON Monday, we might be taking scenes in the Bowery. On Tuesday, we seek some beautiful park; Wednesday it becomes necessary to hunt out a little farm house up in Conf ... [Scut?]; Thursday and Friday, we are before some Fifth avenue mansion and Saturday, [blurry] out at sea. Sometimes we travel from one end of the continent to the other for scenes. We moving picture people have become nomads, pitching our tents at every rare location.
We took a great many scenes for "Poppina" around the most beautiful Italian estate I have ever visited. It was the home of a multimillionaire, a palace such as one dreams about or believes exists only between the covers of one's fairy tales.
When I came out, dressed in my Italian costume, I found the owner standing near the camera. He was an interested observer and said boyishly, "Well, Miss Pickford, when does the show begin?"
I looked at the skies. There were threatening black clouds floating past the sun and great shadows fell upon the earth. "I'm afraid it will be too dark to take any pictures," I replied, mighty disappointed for we had come many miles from New York.
He called for his car and drove me miles and miles over his wonderful estate. Desiring to get certain artistic effects, he had made valleys where there were hills and hills where it had just been level ground. In breathless wonderment I sat back while we drove through this fairyland. Just think, there were thirtysix fountains through the grounds and they were all playing at once. I asked with amazement what made the water that sprang into the air so crystal clear, like millions of little diamonds sparkling in the sunlight. He told me it was because there wre filters in every fountain. In the ponds were rare lilies that looked like amber and old rose goblets. My fingers almost trembled to touch them, and I grew quite dizzy as I breathed in their heavy tropical perfume.
I was invited to take lunch with the family and as I look back upon it I smile to myself, remembering his invitation. "We dine very simply," he half apologized "but you are most welcome."
Never have I seen anything so beautiful as his wife's room; my words are too threadbare to describe it. I felt as if I had been whisked into a castle. At the exquisite dresser I hurried with my make-up, but it took me much longer than usual to get it off. I was so busy looking around me. And then for the nice, simple luncheon! A simple luncheon to me is a sandwich and a glass of milk, but my host and hostess had apologized for what to me was the most wonderful and elaborate of feasts. I was so excited over a delicious imported cantaloupe, I could hardly swallow it. It made me think
[article continues on col. 3]
of the time when I was a little girl and never could enjoy anything unless I had stored away a bit for my mother. And I would have enjoyed tucking one half of the melon into my blouse to take home with me!
Then we had creamed eggs on toast, perfect fried chicken, the best butter I had ever tasted and dainty little hot muffins. In fact, there were so many delicious things to eat it would make your mouth water if I dwelt on them any longer. I only wrote about it to show you why I was so amused when he apologized for their simple luncheon.
A beautiful organ, run by electricity played all the time we were in the dining room. And by contrast I thought of how I had fared the day before. A large chunk of bread and a piece of Italian cheese eaten as I rested for a moment, sitting on the doorstep of an East Side tenement.
They were eager to hear about moving pictures, especially the personal side of our lives. He gave me some valuable suggestions for safe investments and we talked long upon charity. We both agreed that 10 per cent of one's income should go to charity.
I told him I gave to the poor when I saw they needed it. One of my most interesting cases is a bright little girl I had taken just in time from squalid surroundings and put in an invalid home up state. She has been there two years now and soon I will be able to send her to school.
To me charity should begin at home, and because it usually does one never really knows what demands are met by those who have large incomes. They do not tell and sometimes the world, no knowing, misjudges them. My host agreed with me. ----------o---------- Answers to Correspondents.
I have a letter from a woman in Chicago I would like to publish in full if I had the space. "We do not give up our Thanksgiving turkey because there are only two left to eat it," she writes. "We have it just the same and we invite enough of our homeless boarding house friends to equal the size our family would be if all were here. Do you know, I have a notion that this is why the Lord makes turkeys so large." ----------o---------- Such a discouraged letter from Harry L. of Altouna, Pa., because he hasn't as much money as his rival to spend on the girl both admire. He is afraid this will cause him to lose her. I am sure she is not that mercenary. If she is, this is a good time to find it out.

INFLUENCE OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH ----------o---------- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE TWO)
conscious of the presence of others, go through their religious exercises. At frequent intervals during the day, standing in the crowded car and without the slightest possible privacy these simple people cross themselves and earnestly pray from five to ten minutes. They were so intense in their devotion that they seemed perfectly oblivious of their surroundings, and the reverential expression on their faces was ample proof of their sincerity.
Quoting from a writer on Russia— "Owing to the intense ignorance and extreme religous principles of the Russian peasant, he is an easy victim of imposters. As an illustration, a fellow dressed as a monk or priest, traveled from one town to another and for a small sum, offered to show a few hairs of the Virgin Mary. Only one person was admitted at a time. From a small package, he removed in succession, a series of wrapping papers and in the last one the visitor was invited to gaze upon these miraculous hairs. The paper, of course, was sempty, and the peasant would declare he saw nothing. The imposter would then sorrowfully explain these hairs are invisible to sinning eyes and it is only the [monks?] who can see them. The [Moujick?] (Russian peasant), would again look more closely and then loudly and proudly declare he saw them plainly."
In many nations, the church is a secondary consideration and religion is largely a matter of custom. In Russia, however, the church is first in word, thought and [deed?] and religion with the masses is part of their life, in fact, the very essence of their inner being. ---------------------------o--------------------------- [advertisement for F & G Co.]

AMUSEMENTS At The Grand

Of "Safety First," which is to be the attraction at the Grand Christmas day, matinee and [blotted], the following criticism was culled from the UnionCity (Tenn.) Evening Times:
"Halson Powell, who a few years ago was playing in [blotted], but who is now a theatrical moderate with a half dozen companies on the road scored his second bl[blotted] in Union City at the Union Grand last night when his "Safety First" book by Arthur Malcom, [blotted] by Adolph Zertman, was presented [blotted] business.
"The cast with [blotted] as X. Ed Speedlimit, [Al Blasley?] as Adam Nut, Charles Griener as Blumingas Coal, Miss Jessie Webster as Imelda Pullman and Miss [Nicole?] Nomanci as Helen Force Speedlimit, so the leading roles were exceedingly good.
"The little bellet and chorus was well trained and the [blotted] dancing was above the [blotted].
"The songs and specialties introduced during the rendition of the musical comedy all drew a repeated a encores, and judging by the big applause the audience must have been well pleased with the entertainment. There was a plot in the play somewhere but it was inundated under the avalanche of music and humor. The costumes and scenic effects were fully up to standard."
At The Casino MOVING PICTURES
COMING ATTRACTIONS AT THE CASINO.
Monday—The Martyrs of the Alamo. Tuesday—Her Painted Hero. Wednesday—The Primrose Path. Thursday—The [Disciple?]. Friday—Lord John's Journal. Saturday—The Bachelor's Christmas.
HISTORIC DRAMA TO BE SHOWN MONDAY.
Monday at the Casino is Triangle Day. The program that is to be shown is well worth seeing as it deals with the war of 184[5?] when Texas was united to the United States of America. This picture was made under the direction of D. W. Griffith, so you need no fear of it not being good.
The synopsis of the picture is as follows:
Santa Anna, dictator of Mexico, comes to San Antonio, Texas and there follows a series of outrages upon Americans living there. The wife of Captain Dickinson is insulted by one of the dictator's [soldiers?]. When here husband goes to demand satisfaction he is thrown into jail. Then are introduced Bowie, Crockett and Silent Smith. The last named falls in love with the old soldier's daughter. These leaders of the Texans successfully conceal their arms when Santa Anna issues a proclamation confiscating all weapons. With the arms the Texans attack the Alamo, a combined mission and fort and capture it.
Santa Anna, in whose absence they made their successful assault, started back to San Antonio with 6,000 men. The Alamo is besieged and after ten days of fighting and desperate resistance, it is captured. Only Silent Smith, who had been sent to Sam Houston for help, Mrs. Dickinson and her baby and the old soldier's daughter were spared. Mother and child are sent to inform their countrymen of the tale that befell the rebels while the other woman is held by Santa Anna beacause of her beauty.
Houston hears the fate of the defenders of the Alamo when Mrs. Dickinson and her child ride into his camp. With his small force, Houston gave battle to Santa Anna's army on the San Jacinto river. The 11,000 Mexicans were routed by the few hundred Texans and Santa Anna was taken prisoner. He was released only after he agreed to grant the independence of Texas.

Did you lose a vest button or two yesterday by swelling up with pride when you looked at the picture in The Piedmont of the proposed new court house for Greenville county? That will be, if erected, some building, an infinate improvement in looks over the present structure. How much better the heart of the city will appear when such a temple of justice replaces the present unsightly, unsanitary and unsafe court house, especially if the shanties between the court house and the Masonic building are removed.
One thing is certain, however, and that is that a building such as that pictured in yesterday's Piedmont cannot be constructed for the sum available. Thirty or forty thousand dollars more will probably be needed.
The original plan, as passed by a vote of the people of this county, was to expend sixty thousand dollars in remodelling the present court house. A court house commission was appointed to have charge of this work. It gave conscientious service, expending much time, thought and study upon the project. Expert advise was obtained.
The commission reached the conclusion that it would be wasting the public funds to expend them, as directed, upon improvements of the present building—and we have no reason to doubt the correctness of this conclusion.
That something should be done goes without saying. The present building is a menace to health and the invaluable and irreplaceable records stored in it are in constant danger of destruction by fire.
The builiding shown in yesterday's Piedmont was designed by an architect of wide and varied experience in planning public structures. The commission is satisfied that, if erected, it will be a credit to the city and county and adequate for its needs for scores of years to come.
But the sixty thousand dollars appropriated will not build it. How much more will be needed cannot be known until bids are received and opened.
When it is known how much more will be needed, there will be two ways of proceeding. One will be for the delegation to make an appropriation the other will be to go back to the people for authority to expend the additional sums that will be requisite.
The Piedmont's advice is to trust the people. They voted the sixty thousand and we believe, when a full statement is made of the situation, they will provide the necessary additional funds. If not, it is their right to decline, if they wish. -------------------------o------------------------- PRIDE.
A recent editorial in The Piedmont closed with this sentence: "There are other things in this world as well, if not more, deserving of pride as wealth, position, pedigree or learning." The The Piedmont has been asked to further develop that thought.
Of all the manifestations of pride, that based purely on pedigree is the most senseless, because none of us chose our ancestors. Fingy Conners, when laughed at for his habit of wearing a number of valuable diamonds, replied with homely philosophy, "I notice them what has 'em wears 'em." Something of that same philosophy applies to pedigree. But pride in pedigree is only justifiable to the degree that credit for a spirit of noblesse oblige can be traced to it. And there was a world of meaning in David Grief's saying, "One marries as good as another only so long as he does not think himself better."
Wealth, honestly amassed and employed with a sense of stewardship; position, as obtained as recognition of meritorious service; and learning, acquired without a dwarfing of the understanding, all justify pride. But wealth, with a taint on its title and selfishly used, position secured through shady means, and learning without intelligence make pride [illegible] them ridiculous.
In this day, when as many measure a man by the size of the check he [cut off]
[column 2]
wealth, position and learning as in those most amply dowered with them.
Some of these are chastity, honesty, sobriety, charity, fidelity, and understanding, the better such as Soloman referred when he said, "Get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding."
A man may be rich, highly placed, of good pedigree and learned, without possessing any ot those virtues, or have them all and be as poor as He who had not where to lay His head; of as humble lineage as Martin Luther, the miner's son; as lowly placed as Robert Burns, the ploughman and pedigree, as uneducated as Bunyan, the tinker.
As Burns said, "A man is a man for all that," but he is not truly "a man if he lacks those virtues." If he have them, he has a right to pride, though without welath, position, pedigree or learning, infinately better right to pride than he who has all the latter and lacks any of the former. -------------------------o------------------------- TEN IN OR SIXTY-FIVE OUT?
It seems that The Daily Piedmont went too fast. It gave the city fathers credit for municipal economy in saving $75, the cost of publishing the 1916 supply bill in this paper. It now appears that The Piedmont too widely distributed the credit. Aldermen Harley and Martin, deny credit is due them. They had nothing to do with the placing of the advertisement and knew nothing about it until after it had appeared in one Greenville daily and not in the other. We apologize for giving them the credit to which they are not entitled and will with equal promptness apologize to any other city father who does not want praise not due him and will make a similar disavowal.
Moreover, it seems the saving was not so great as we had believed. We thought those who conceived the idea had kept as much as $75 in the city treasury by publishing the supply bill on only one paper. But the saving is less. You can figure it out to suit yourself.
For several years the finance committee of council has been careful not to be extravegant in spending city funds with Greenville's daily papers, which give an infinate amount of service free of charge to the city. Heretofore when the supply bill was to be published, the city clerk and treasurer, or the agent for the finance committee, asked for the lowest possible rates for the services. The two dailies, when so approached during those years, agreed to make a charge each of $75 for publication of the supply bill in both papers. This year The Piedmont was not asked for a rate. The advertisement was given to the morning paper and we understand its charge was $140. So the saving over previous years was only $10 not $75. But as the advertisement did not get more than half the circulation similar advertisements in past years when they appeared in both papers, some mathematician might be unkind enought to figure it out that, instead of saving $10 the city fathers who are responsible for the one paper policy really wasted $65.
Literary societies are always hunting for live queries to debate. The above gives them something on which to try their argumentative powers. They may be able to decide whether the city lost $65 or saved $10. -------------------------o------------------------- WILL THEY DO IT.
The court [blurry], being the joint session of the supreme and circuit judges of the state, has held by a vote of 9 to 6 that the bonds proposed to be issued by Greenville and Richland counties for good roads are legal, although the issue was not submitted to a vote of the people of the respective counties. The Piedmont regrets this decision, for it establishes, in our judgment, a dangerous precedent. It is interesting to note that three, being a majority, of the supreme court judges held the bonds as constitutional. On the other hand, seven out of ten circuit judges sustained their constituionality.
When a majority of the supreme court holds the bonds unconstitutional, it can not be denied that there was most excellent reason to doubt the validity of their issue. Chief Justice Gary and Associate Judges Watts and Fraser have so held. The Piedmont will later refer in detail to the reasoning of these judges.
The fact now is that the courts of South Carolina have concluded that the bonds may be constituionally issued. What will be done is now up to the members of the Greenville delegation in the legislature and to the highway commission. No one doubts the integrity of purpose of these gentlemen, and yet it may well be doubted [upon?] after the decision confirming their power whether it is judicious for them to exercise it.
The proposed bond issue is very huge. Shoud it be injuidicously spent, the burden upon the county would be very great. As a matter of expediency it would seem advisable to issue a small part until there is more positive assurance than is now had of the best character of construction.
But The Piedmont again urges that no issue be made until the question has been submitted to the vote of the peop[cut off]
[column 3]
In the meantime the legislature meets again in few weeks, and can quickly amend the law so as to to required sub[illegible] to the people. The members of the legislative delegation will hardly contend that the voters of the county can not intelligently determine what is best for themselves.
So important a matter as this bond issue should not be left to the determination on a majority of a delegation. The court in its decision above referred to says that the constitution guarded the state as a whole and cities and [illegible] against bond issues except by a vote of the people, but made no such provision in the case of counties. The court concluded it had [its?] right to supply the ommission. But the principle is the same, and the voters of the county can well demand that their representatives do not take advantage of the ommission existing, and undetake to decide for the people what they are best able to decide for themselves.
Will the delegation do what prudence and good judgment require and submit the issue to the people, or will they act upon the authority the court says they have. The Piedmont sincerely hopes that the delegation will recognize the advisability of ommission. -------------------------o------------------------- HOME OWNERSHIP.
The Piedmont published yesterday an individual from The State urging the importance of ownership of the homes by the mill workers of this state. This is in accord with the views of this paper, as heretofore expressed. Says The State: "Non-ownership of home is a greater evil in the cotton mill communities than is even child labor."
The two great evils today menacing South Carolina are the illiteracy of many of its voters and the fact that a majority of them do not own homes.
How can mill workers be fairly encouraged today to purchase homes if the value of their investments, if the result of their sacrifices and savings is entirely at the mercy of their employers? A mill worker at great sacrifice has purchased a home adjacent to the mill at which he works. In the very fact of this ownership, he has valued new ambitions and aspirations. In the advancement of these, he associates himself with other workers to present from time to time to his employer questions of wages and conditions of labor and living. The employer on his part regards the employe as inimical because of this association and discharge[s?] him. The mill worker then sees he must sell out his home and move on, or else announce complete subservience to his employer. The very independence which he sought through home ownership has been made a means of apprehension and enforced dependence.
The State is right, home ownership is much to be desired. But it is wrong in not recognizing that there are questions affecting the relation of the employer and employe which must be settled before the mill worker can be advised to buy the home. He must be assured of a reasonable permanency of his employment. He must know that the assertion of his right to join a labor organization will not be the cause of his discharge, and he must feel that there is law which will fairly guard him in his employment so long as he justly and efficiently does his work. The right of arbitrary discharge is not consistent with home ownership by mill employes. -------------------------o------------------------- Reports from Washington say that the wedding of the president dawned dismal with drizzling rain. See where the president made his mistake in not coming to Greenville for the cerelmony? -------------------------o------------------------- The publicity staff must be aging Mrs. Galt rapidly.

[headline and article spans cols 4-5, top section] A Creature With A Bad Reputation, Tho Underserved. By A. L. P.
Luckily [blotted] upon as a creature to be shunned, and persecuted by nearly everyone, and insect which has received the [blotted?] title of "devil's horse." There is no foundation, whatever for such a name, and those who have known it only by that term will be surprised to know that the real name of the animal is "praying mantis," and while we look upon it here with suspition, in China it is said to be regarded in the light of a sacred thing.
The mantis, if we judge aright, is hatched from [blotted] of a mass of eggs glued together with some solid surface in two rows, held together somewhat like a [shock?] of grain without the weather can[blotted] is hatched in almost the same [blotted] of the adult, therefore it is unnecessary for it to pass thru a pupa stage like the butterfly and some other locusts.

All insects have six legs, and the [article continues on col. 5, top section]
mantis is no exception, but he can stand on four very firmly, with the other two drawn in near the long neck like the front part of the body, which is held almost erect waiting for prey. When the proper victim comes in [view?] the mantis with a quick movement of the forelegs, or arms, seizes it, and bears it to the mouth, eating it in much the same position as a squirrel with a nut.
This animal has an agilely jointed head, that permits a greater freedom of motion than other insects have, and it is turned grotesquely and surprisingly to view an intruder. This gives the creature a very intelligent almost human air, and adds such a touch of weirdness to its general appearance that it is probably recognisable to part of the bad [blurry] in which it is held.
The mantis is a rapid runner on foot and has been branded as the "devil's horse." It is really quite as harmless as a grasshopper and may be handled with inpunity. Some of them are green and some grey.
The creature may be kept in captivity for some time if fed on various insects, and given an occassional drink of water. When necessary to lift it, the long neck makes a most convenient handle.

A WORD OF COMMENDATION ----------o--------- In Regard to The Piedmont's Stand on [Union?] Labor
Editor The Daily Piedmont,
Dear Sir, Please allow space in your paper for these few lines. I must say I have changed my opinion of The Daily Piedmont partly in the face of recent developments, namely the Judson mill strikes and the discussion of the [Freese?] case. I must say you are the only editor in this community that has tried to uphold the right of the people to organize if they wished to— a right when the mill overseer does not object to in his words—but his actions prove his words are false. You have won the unwavering freindship of the mill people in Greenville by your fairness in the discussion of their trouble and furthermore they are a people that know how to appreciate these sympathies. I believe you have the good of the people at heart and may [blurry] hasten [this way?] when there will be more who will stand for their rights regardless of capital and its influence. I see the editor of the Fountain Inn Tribune does "unionism is coming and they might as well take it easy."
I believe God is with us and the right shall win, O ye sons of greed, and their mouth [blurry]! Can you stand before us at the judgment and say "I treated you right."
For "if a man gain the whole world and lose his own soul, what shall it profit him." I want to say further there has been some facts brought to light in the [Freese?] case that ought to be investigated by the grand jury and if they fail [blotted] they will neglect their duty.
Thanking you, I remain, CHAS. P. ABBERNALE, Mill operative Greenville, S. C., Dec. 17, 1915.

What Other Say. Mending Our Legal Fences.
The attorney general of the United States asks congress to enact legislation giving the government authority to do two things for which at present it lacks power:
First, to seize and retain arms and ammunition that may be in the process of exportation in defiance of the president's proclamation of an embargo.
Second, to make it a specific crime against the United States to place bombs or other explosives with evil intent on vessels sailing from American ports.
It's an odd situtation that exists now. The president may prohibit the export of arms and ammunition to be used in connection with military expeditions, as he did lately in regard to Mexico, but he has no authority to seize them in order to make his order effective. The blowing up at sea of ships sailing from our ports is an offense that appears never to have been contemplated or imagined by law makers in the past.
These are only two examples of the gaps in our laws revealed by recent war events. Congresss should see to them at once, as well as to the mending of any other holes in our legal fences—Augusta Chronicle. ----------o--------- Filipino Boys Like Baseball

One way to attain an approximate idea of what they mean is by using the per capita basis. Presuming the total population to be in the neighborhood of a hundred millions, we have a valuation of $55 for every man, woman and child in the American possessions. By comparison with the total for last year we find an increase of nearly $[5?]00,000,000, a wholly comfortable increase.

A COLORLESS or faintly turbid fluid with a rather acrid, coppersulphate taste and an odor suggesting old fossil fish is what sanis[cian?] call "notable water"—that is a pure drinking water. Chemically pure water consists of two atoms of a light, frothy gas called hydrogen, firmly clutching a lone but undaunted atom of oxygen — together with traces of chlorine from sewage contamination, lime from earthy contact, and sometimes a dash of [blurry] or other preservative to give it body.
H2O, or "agua aura," as doctors call it in prescription writing, is often dispensed in bottles with a picture of a dainty lady about to sip the necter of a fairy pool on the label, at about ten [pentines?] the [bumper?].

His Secretary of the Treasury was able, so sound had his management of the finances proved, to arrange for the payment of the fifteen millions due for the purchase of Louisiana without asking congress to lay an additional tax.
"I greatly fear that a separation would be no remedy," wrote George Cabot to those who would have led in the Northern secession. The source of our evils "is the political theories of our country and ourselves. We are democratic altogether," and can expect nothing sanitary while we retain maxims and principles which all experience and reason prounounce to be absurd."
"It is impossible to alarm, much less to convince, a large portion of the Federalist party here of their danger," explained Mr. [Higgison?] to the radicals in Congress. "A small part only of those called Federal are sound in their opinions and willing to look into their real situation. Many even of our own party have as much yet to retain as to learn. They have yet much of the democrat's taint without them."
Even extremists say that they would have no following in the revolutionary courses, and would have to wait for some grosser provacation, "which should," as Mr. Cabot said, "be very generally felt and distinctly understood as chargeable to the conduct of our Southern masters, such, for example, as a war with Great Britain manifestly provoked by our rulers."

The One Price Cash Store __________________________________________ [headline and article spans cols. 2-3, top section] WHEN IT COMES TO INTERVIEWS VICE-PRESIDENT HARRILL WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE OFFICE BOY -------------------------o------------------------- "Greenville has witnessed remarkable growth in the past decade" said A. V. Harrill, vice president of the Southern Public Utilities company, who was a business visitor in the city today. He arrived in this [section?] yesterday from Winston-Salem and came here from Anderson. Mr. Harrill seemed very optimistic over present conditions.
No doubt he would very much prefer not to appear as giving an interview, which he did not do, for he merely opened up his heart and seemingly spoke as his conscience dictated about business conditions and the phenomenal growth of Greenville. He stated in the beginning of his conversation that he was averse to personal publicity. "I had rather be considered the same as the office boy of the concern," he said.
Mr. Harrill says that business is picking up right along in all the cities his company is operating, and he says Greenville is keeping pace with the others. One department— the traction company line—is not keeping pace with the other depart-
[article continues on column 3, top sectioon]
ments. "This is our experience in all the cities we are operating street car lines," declared Mr. Harrill. "The reason for this is the automobile. I mean the private owner automobile —not the street bus. If you will notice right here in your city, you can see four or [streaked] more persons gather on the street corner getting ready to catch a car and some person will come along and pick up the crowd and carry [streaked] to their destinations. No one is to blame of course—all of us do the same thing. It's the natural thing to do. But such practice certainly cuts into the receipts of the street car companies."
Mr. Harrill is a very pleasant gentleman and in time will be acquainted with the Greenville people, for he now plans to come here frequently. He already has some acquaintances here for he used to pitch for the Charlotte baseball team many years ago [during?] the time of organized baseball in the south—and his pitching record is remembered by some here now. He pitched against Spartanburg on many occasions.
