On to NeWberry, June 1918.

This is the slogan Of the leaguers
all Y e this old Palmetto State at this
time. And I wish to call the attention
of the leaguers and especially the
first vice-presidents to several i'm
portant things just at this time.
First OF all I want the first vice.
president Of every league to send me,
as soon as possible (and not later
than June lOth) a full report of the
work that has been done in the first
department of your league the past
year, June 1, 1909, to June l, 1910.
Don't make it too long, but put in all
the facts. Tell me how many meet
ings you have had, how many mem
Abers average attendance, how many
have led a meeting, how many mem
Mrs ~averafe attendance, how many
embers confessed Christ during the
er, how many special services held
We program of any that were espe-
&lly good, tell Of any special work
Hhe outside of your own church.
Please don't neglect this, do it now
you can not do it now, get your
esident or secretary to do it for
&ou. I want a full report as outlined
q above from every league in the State
] at once so I can make up a full report
Of what our department has done the
past year., il you do not assist me by
giving me this information from your
league a full report will be impossi-
BILE. Remember, individual league
reports will not be called for at this
conference as heretofore, the
ysport must be sent to me and be in
'porated in my report for the first
partment and the other vice-presi-
nts for their respective depart
hents.
. In the second place let me urge the
election Of those who have done good
work during the year as delegates to
the conference at Newberry, they are
the ones who will best represent you,
who will get the most out Of it, and
will bring back and put into your
league the most from it.
Then to those who have been most
faithful and served best deserve most
the pleasure of the trip and the honor
of representing You. Another thing I
wish to call to the leaguers' attention,
and to especially urge upon the first
vice-presidents, is the holding OF a
special service on June II (or your
nearest regular meeting to this date)
for the purpose Of praying for the
success Of the conference, this out
pouring Of Gods spirit upon each Of
those who shall speak, and upon each
one Of the delegates, that this con-
ference may be a great blessing to all
in attendance upon it and through
them to all our leagues and leaguers
all over our State.
Prayer is a mighty weapon, and we
as leaguers should use it in u great
battle to bring AL to Christ" Let
every league observe this special ser
vice of prayer for the conference and
let every delegate pray for, and work
for it's success.
Don't forget to send me your report
at once.
Don't fail to go to Newberry June
1918.
Pray for the conference.

The Greatest League Conference.

luC Ac1S uc OOH1CIcuCos
I have been very closely associated
with the Epworth league movement
during my entire ministry. Have at
tended nearly all the State confer
ences; have carefully considered the
program for the Newberry. confer
ence, and unhesitatingly say that Mr..
Howard has the greatest program yet
offered the young M%ethodists of South
Carolina. The Newberry meeting is
to be the greatest of them all.
My only fear is that some church
in the conference, the church that
needs it most, will miss the benefits
and inspiration of this occasion by
not having some of their brightest
representatives at Newberry.
By all means, at any cost, league
or no league, Sunday school or no
Sunday school, go to Newberry.

Has your league elected delegates
to this conference? If not, do so at
once, and send names to Miss Daisy

can't afford to have no delegates to
this great conference.

The reins pass through rings on the

fastened to the brake device in such
a way that when there is unusual
pressure on them the spring is re-

FRENCH WRITERS EARN LESS.
Translation Of Foreign Novels Have
Spoiled the Market


While the serial story is If any.
thing more popular than ever as a
newspaper feature in France, Robert
Sherard writes in MY Friends the
French" that the remuneration a.
the writer's of this kind of fiction "a
not as good as it used to be.
That is because the editors find
they can get very good fiction from
foreign publishers. The payment for
the translation rights of good Eng
fish, Russian, Italian or German
novel would not amount to the TWEEN
tieth part of the fee which would
be demanded by one of the popular
masters of the feuilleton.
Formerly these fees were very
large. According to the Bookman.
Jules Mary used to receive 10000
francs for first serial use Of one Of
his thrillers That would represent
about half of what the manuscript
would produce, for after the tale had
appeared in the paper the publishers
who issue tales in ten centime parts
would pay him another $4,000 francs
for this use.
DEnnery, the author of THE Two
Orphans received a franc and half
a line. One Of his novels, IAN An
gels Remorse," brought him 10000
francs. But free trade in fiction, says
Mr. Sherard. has injured the home
manufacturers. The French publish
ers can get good translations for low
sums. Hachette whenever large
price is asked for an English novel
produces a receipt signed by Charles
Dickens. 1t is for a sum of twenty
pounds and refers to a novel called
David Copperfeld.'

from the inception Of their present

A third result is that the rates are
high, except as between certain
great commercial centres and On
through and export traffic. These
rates are very low and inasmuch as
the German lines have an enormous

Operating expenses on German
railways are generally high. About
1900 the figures for the different

Defect in Furnace Flue Causes the

This morning shortly before 10
o'clock fire was discovered at the home
of G. A. Barnard in Moline by Miss
Selma Reidmen, a servant. An at
tempt was made at once to summon
the fire department over the Central
Unon telephone. After 10 minutes of
fruitless effort, members of the house
hold state, they went to the home of
a neighbor, and after further delay,
succeeded finally in reaching the de-
partment. Twenty minutes elapsed
between the time of the discovery of
the fire and the arrival of the fire de-
partment, and in that time much dam
age had been done to the beautiful res
idence "Elsinore." Almost the entire
roof was destroyed.
This morning a fire was built in the
furnace, which was recently overhaul
ed, and some old papers were burned.
In some way the fire was communicate
ed to the roof through a chute which
leads to it. 1t is thought that some
defect in the heating plant started the
fire. The damage will reach $4,000,
and is covered fully by insurance in
four Moline agencies.
Furniture is Saved.
After the arrival of the firemen, the
blaze was quickly controlled. Persons
