Georgetown. April 21.-The plant
of the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corpor-

lumber plants in the world, having
a capacity of one-half million feet

stroyed by fire, which broke out this

which was not directly in the direc-

with the power house and two dry
kilns and vast amount of lumber,
about ten million feet, were destroyed.
The loss is estimated at about one
half million dollars, and is said to be
completely covered by insurance.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. E. B. Chase and Miss FlorIde
Cunningham Suffer Painful Ac-
cident in Washington.

Washington, April 20.-What came
near being a serious accident here late
yesterday afternoon and what might
have resulted in the loss Of the lives
of two South Carolina ladies-Mrs. E.
B. Chase and Miss Floride Cunning
ham-was narrowly averted by their
presence of mind. Mrs. Chase and
Aiss Cunningham have been in Wash
ington for the past week attending the
congress of the Daughters of the
American Revolution Late yesterday
afternon they were crossing Penn
sylvania avenue when an automobile
came suddenly up and in stepping
back to get out of its way both ladies
were hurled to S,e ground. Police
men and bystanders quickly ran to
their assistance and hurried run was
made to the Emergency hospital.
There they were given attention and
later were permitted to depart.
When The States correspondent
called to see Miss Cunningham today
at 1905 Desales street it was learned
that while both she and Mrs. Chase
were suffering from severe shock, that
neither was seriously hurt and would
probably be all right within a few
days.
Many South Carolinians today made
Enquiry as to how the Palmetto States
ladies were progressing and likewise
many Daughters of the American Re
xolution expressed their sympathy.
1t was only by the merest good for
tune that both Mrs. Chase and Miss
Acunningham were not more seriously
injured.

81 COMMIT MY SOUL TO JESUS"
Striking Confession of Financiers
Religious Faith. Is Characteristic,
Say Associates.

New York, April 18-''I commit my
soul into the hands of my Savior IN
full confidence that having redeemed
it and washed it in His most precious
blood. He will present it faultlessly
before the throne of my Heavenly
Father: and / entreat my children to
maintain and defend, at all hazards
and at any cost of personal sacrifice,
the blessed doctrine of the complete
attonement for sin through the blood
of Jesus Christ once offered, and
through that alone
This is the extraordinary and strik-
ing utterance which begins the last
will and testament Of John Peirpont
Morgan, who died at Rome on March
81. last, whose body, heaped over
with flowers from the crowned heads
of Europe, was a fortnight later,
brought back to his own land and
last Monday was borne to its last
resting place at Hartford, Conn.
Interesting Testament.
Ever since the funeral the publi-
cation of the great fnancier's last
will has been awaited with keen ex-
pectation and it is safe to say that OF
all the interesting testaments OF emil
nent citizens of America, that of Mr.
Morgan, to be offered for probate
here Monday morning, is by far the
most interesting.
AS to the amount of the estate
which is one of the first questions the
public naturally is asking, there is
nothing in the will to give any accu-
rate idea and the executors declare
that no announcement will be made
on this point until the appraisal has
been made for determining the State
inheritance tax.
The amount of bequests and trusts
named by specific sums, is under S2O,-
100000 but the entire residue of the
estate is left to J. P. Morgan, Jr.
who is designated by his father to
become the chief heir not only to his
fortune, but to his many charitable
and artistic activities.

AS to the will itself, it is unusual
in many of it's features, and, accord

striking confession of his religious
faith a side Of his character which
was known to his close associates,
but not the world, and running
through all its 81 articles, duly set
forth in the same logical and order

Diptheria In FroStburg

On account of the prevalence of
diphtheria in Frostburg all the public
schools. the parochial school and the
State Normal school were closed Nov.
20, and under orders from the State
Board of Health will remain closed until
Jan. l, or earlier if the spread of the
disease shows signs of abatement.
The order from the Board of Health
also includes the moving picture theatres
and the secretary of the local Board of
Health has issued notices to managers
of these places to close w. Saturday
evening and give no more shows until
further orders from the State Health
authorities.
Local ministers have been instructed
to discontinue the assembling of Sunday
schools and the same instruction has
gone to the Catholic church authorities
with reference to the children's mass.
There have been 10 cases of diphtheria
in town in three months and the epidemic
is spreading.

will then be Paradise Restored. So we
read that God will have all men to be

binding influence of SATAN and to
come unto a knowledge of the Truth, "
for the purpose of furnishing every
child of Adam far chance to be
saved and to gain eternal life. The
restored earth will be the eternal HON e

In conclusion, the speaker urged
upon his hearers the necessity of "giving
more earnest heed to the diligent
study of Gods Word rather than to the
creeds originated during the Dark Ages,
that thus their faith in God might be
increased and their joys made full.
Pastor Yates was most emphatic in
his assertions that none need expect a
second chance. A chance of salvation
is now being afforded the church; and
in the age to come each individual of
the world will be given his chance to
believe and attain perfect life. This
will include all the heather: not that
all will gain eternal life. but that all
will be given chance to hear and
accept if they will. Those who disobey
the Lord will be DESTROYED IN the Second
Death.

ACCORDING to the telegraph dispatch
es from Washington the august body CT
Democratic leaders in Congress got busy
last week because the President, in con-
ferences with them, showed how they
might be burned if they did not move.
He called attention to the signs of
business depression already beginning
to make themselves seen. Should a
panic come, he told them, the Dem
ocratic tariff and the Democratic party
would be held responsible. The brunt
of public resentment, be assured them,
would fall upon majority members of
Congress hoping for reelection in 1914.
He believes and so told them, that the
depression in business caused by the
efforts of manufacturers to adjust
themselves to the lower tariff schedules
could be avoided by prompt action in
providing currency legislation needed
to tide the country over these temporary
difficulties.
The President has made the Senate
Democracy heed his proddings. and the
currency bill is going to move along
faster than the most optimistic had
reason to expect earlier in the week.
What is more, unless present signs
fail, the currency bill that goes before
the President for his signature will be
in all essential features the Administra-
ton measure that passed the lower
house.

ONE RESULT OF DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION.

We are living under Democratic
administration. We have lived through
a special session of a Democratic
congress, of eight months duration.
We have no comments to make on the
administration or its congress. The
following figures speak for themselves.
They are the fruits of an administration
not over nine months old. If such
things happen in its infancy what will
be the result as it advances IN years?
| Who can tell?
| Last Monday congress was called up
on to appropriate over a billion
dollars for the running expenses of the
government for the coming fiscal year
beginning July l, 1914, and ending June
30, 1915. Estimates of the cost of
keeping the governmental machinery
IN motion, transmitted by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo to Speaker Champ
Clark. aggregated the grand total of
81. los, 681, 777.02.
Appropriations made by Congress at
at the last regular session totaled ST.
OLA. 302, S69.73. The increase is, there
fore, $34, 375, 90729.
CUSTOM RECEIPTS DROP
Customs receipts of the government
for November fell off about 81, 500, 900,
compared to November, 1912, according
to the monthly Treasury statement is
sued. November was the first full
month of operation for the new tariff
and If the month was fair test of the

annual return from this source will
decline more than $50, 900, 600.

ceipts 50, 713, 1872, compared to an ex

RAW WOOL FREE NOW
Raw wool wenton the free list Monday
under the provisions of the new tariff.
Figures on wool that has been held in

free of duty are not available here, but
it is estimated that probably $1,000, COG
worth was in bond in New York alone.
Philadelphia manufactures withdrew
more than 5000, 900 pounds of raw
wool from bonded ware houses under
the free raw wool clause of the new
tariff law, according to estimates OF
customs officials. Most of the WOO
came from New Zealand, England anc

Two Salvations But No Second Chance

To the Editor of The Republican.
Filled with enthusiasm over Gods
future provision for the world Pastor
Thomas P. Yates, of Ontario. spoke in
the Empire Theatre Nov 20, to an
audience which showed intense interest
IN what he revealed from the Scriptures
as to the Two Salvations. The speaker
made it very emphatic that none will
get a second chance, though every one
will get one full chance for salvation,
either in this world or in the world to
come.
Pastor Yates pointed out that many.
who think of the Divine Program as
merely an endeavor to rescue mankind
from sin and death.to righteousness and
eternal life in the present time, are
much confused, because 1t must be
acknowledged that comparatively little
has been done, or is now being done for
mans upllft. After six thousand years
1t is still true that 1.-THE whole world
lieth in the wicked one," darkness
covers the earth in gross darkness the
heather. In order to have any con-
fidence at all in this theory, those who
hold it are obliged to greatly lower their
st Andards. They are forced to hope
that God will admit millions of unfit
people, crude, rude, ignorant and wicked,
to eternal life and happiness or else
provide for them purgatorial experien-
ces, to make them fit for life eternal.
He maintained that, as whole, Chris
tan people are greatly bewildered and
that the tendency of their bewilder-
ment is toward doubt, skepticlsm,
atheism.
He pointed out, also. that others be-
lieve that God never intended the saliva
ton of the world, but merely the saliva
tion of the Church, "elect according to
the foreknowledge OF God through
sanctificatlon of the Spirit and belief of
the Truth. " Those who hold this theory
are greatly confused also, because it
seems incomprehensible that God would
make no provision for the thousands
of millions" of Adams race, but allow
them to be born in SIN. shapen in iniquity,
and to go down to the tomb with almost
no knowledge of their Creator, to suffer.
according to this theory, an eternity of
unspeakable torments.
The speaker then showed that the
Scriptures clearly set forth two saliva
lions. entirely separate and distinct.
They are different as respects time, in
that the one salvation began to be
spoken by our Lord" at His first advent,
and began to be applicable TO the Church
at Pentecost and will wholly cease at
His second coming in the end of this
age. The other salvation neither appli-
ed before our Lords first advent nor
during this Gospel Age, but will apply
to all mankind, except the Church, dur
ing the Millennium-the thousand years
of the reign of Christ and the Church,
especially designed for the worlds
blessing and uplift.
These two salvations were shown to
be distinctly different as to kind. The
salvation of the Church during this
Gospel Age, since Pentecost, means not
only deliverance from SIN and death
conditions to eternal life, but provides
that their eternal life will be on the
heavenly or spiritual plane and not on
the earthly or human plane of existence.
Thus the Apostle declares that our Gin
