WEEK Of PRAYER At
METHODIST CHURCH

Seldom in the history of the
Won.an's Missionary Society of the
Methodist Church has the annual
Week of Prayer been so full Of
spiritual uplift and profit as the one
just past.
Each afternoon at 9 O'Clock an
hour was given to some special field
of the work. with prayer and songs.
Monday the hour was given al
most entirely to a prayer service
special prayers being offered for all
abe work in its different fields, for
eign and in the homeland, with
hymns and responsive readings.
The hour on Tuesday was given to
China, with Mrs. w. D. Anderson as
header. Well chosen was she for
this subject, for the tenderest ties of
motherhood bind her to this far-off
country. Several ladies assisted Mrs.
Anderson with reports, extracts and
clippings bearing on the work in
China, making it a very interesting
service, interspersed with prayer and
song.
Mrs. w. H. Cooper led Wednesday
afternoon, the subject being Korea.
Interesting sketches were given of
the progress of the work in this lit
tie hermit nation, known now as
chosen. since being acquired by the
Japanese.
Particular interest is centered
around our own missionary. Miss
Deanie Noyes, sent to Korea and sup
ported by the Marietta district; Mex
leo, with its priest-ridden condi-
Tons, revolutions, etc, also Brazil,
was taken up on Friday, with Mrs.
w. r. Power as leader.
After an impressive devotional
service carefully planned and well
executed program was carried out,
making the service very interest
ing and helpful.
Inc hour on Friday was devoted
30 Juvenile and ioung Peoples Work,
with Mrs. w. A. DuPre and Mrs.
Rosser Little in charge.
A pleasing feature of this service
was the presence of six little girls
of the Juvenile Society, who sang,
one of them. Lois Dobbs, reciting
bright little missionary poem.
Miss Eloise Barnes, of the Young
Peoples Society, read an interesting
article on the magnitude of the work
being done by these two societies of
Southern Methodism. Other extracts
were read on this work.
A most substantial Offering was
glven by those attending, which will

er spirituality was manifested than
ever before.

Lexington Special to Columbia
State, May 8.-The store of the late
George III. Roof at Barr. four miles
miles south of Lexington, was en-
tered by robbers at an early hour
this morning who blew the safe I'm
which the United States postofice
money was deposited, secured $50
In money and made their departure.
The robber or robbers gained en-
trance by means of saving into one
OF the heavy iron rods across the
window. The safe was torn to
pieces by the explosion and is O.
complete wreck, the door being car
| RED for distance OF several feet.
me robbers were content to leave
with the money, nothing else being
missed. The work was evidently
done by professional safe-crack
Near the safe was found a lot of
soap. The supposition is that nitro
glycerine was used.
Rudolph Oswald, who lives q
short distance from the store. lust
across the railroad, heard an. explo-
sion at 12:15 this morning. Mr.
oswald arose and looked out of the
window to his bed room, but seeing
no one and hearing no noise of any
kind again retired. The robbery
was not discovered until early this
morning, when Miss Arrie Gregory,
who is in charge of the store. went
to open it for the day.
Sheriff Miller was notified and he
went at once to Barr, carrying a
posse with him. Only one track was
found leading from the railroad to
the building. The party appeared
to be walking on tiptoe in order to
conceal his tracks The sheriff
trailed the man on the railorad go
ing toward Columbia, and II ia
thought that the robber reached Co
lumbia by daylight, as the distance
is only about 16 miles.
The people at Barr noticed four
strangers lurking around the town
on tuesday afternoon, and a watch
was put on for Tuesday night, the
suspicious of the people having been
aroused. These four men appeared
In the Roof store, bought some to-
Dacco and cold drinks and left the
town. These men were of large.
rough build, dark complexioned and
dark hair. One was peculiarly tall.
1t is said.
Sheriff Miller notified the police
department in Columbia to be on
the lookout for the suspects, and il
is thought that the men will be ap-
prehended unless they should have
boarded an outgoing train.
MISS Gregory, acting postmaster
at Barr since the death of George
b. Roog some weeks ago, notified
the Dostoftlce department of the
robbery today, and it is expected
tina tthe postoffice department will
also get busy on the case.
Ihls is the third time that the
ROOF store has been entered during
the last few months but the first
tlme that explosives have been used.
Barr is without either a nolice
officer or night watchman.

ed up an iron pot, containing about
S4OO in gold. By whom it was

have been many years ago.
Some question has been suggested

JAPAN'S PROTEST
TO BE PRESENTED
Baron Chinda Will Call on Secre-
tary Bryan-Delay May be Help
Possible That American Depart
ment Will be Able to Frame Com
rOmiSe.

Washington, May First among
Secretary Bryan's callers when he
reaches Washington from Sacra-
ito tomorrow morning probably
be Visecount Chinda, the Japan
ambassador. 1t has been as
lied that the ambassador has been
awaiting this opportunity to deliver
personally to the secretary of state
against the California alien land
legislation, but it is believed the
first effort of the ambassador will
be TO get from the secretary some
idea of what the administration
proposes to do after Governor
Johnson signs the land bill, as it is
generally expected he will do. Be-
fore answering this question, how
ever, Mr.. Bryan must report and
confer with President Wilson re-
garding his California mission. so
he probably will suggest that his
conference with Viscount Chinda be
postponed for a short time.
ii is we'll understood that the eff
feet of this will be simply to delay
the presentation of the Japanese
protest unless Secretary Bryan is
able to suggest some means of deal
ing with the present phase of the
question that will make the protest
unnecessary. This, it is believed,
might take the form of a proposal
to negotiate new treaty to replace
the existing one. A new treaty ex-
pressly disclaiming the right Of
citizens of either country to acquire
real property in the other might
meet the needs of the case and save
Japanese pride by removing ground
for the charge of discrimination.
This, 1t is pointed out, would work
hardship upon American mission
ary interests, and some large busi-
ness concessions which now hold
real estate in Japan under the su-
perfices law, modified form of the
American ground rate system.
