THE GERMAN RAID ON ENGLAND's
COAST )

So The raid of the German squadron on the
coast of England is sensational, though its i'm
mediate results have little military Importance.
Its possible results, however are more far
reaching
The killing and wounding of a few score non
eombatants. the destruction of church or two,
some factories, lumber-yards and railway sta
tions are of no strategic advantage to Germany.
On the other hand the effect on British senti-
ment will undoubtedly be to stimulate enor-
mously the recruiting for the land forces. This
effect, dispatches state, is already apparent.
It will also redonble the vigilance of the fleet
certainly it ought to do this. .~ -. ....4
Whether Germany wished to lure the pur-
suing vessels withinreach of the deadly Teuton
submarines can onlyb be conjectured. But even
If Germany has failed in such plan, the dar-
ing raid of hostile warships through the North
Sea has shown that a weak spot can be picked
IN the Gordon that has stretched in a great
semi-circle around Heligoland and Wilhelms-
haven. The Germans took advantage of foggy
weather. felt their way across sea thickly
covered with hostile vessels, flung shells upon
the startled English coast and fed into the fog
as silently as they came, scathless and trl-
umphant It must be asked, Where we're the
British watch-dogsf And it must also be
asked If squadron. of three or six ships can
thns slip through the Gordon. cannot they do
It again. Cannot big feet do itf
The facts are coming out slowly. For in
stance. large number of the British ships were
engaged in a joint offensive attack with the
land army on the. Belgian coast, the attack be
inc directed against tie 5ef man isnd FORCES on
the extreme west end Of the right wing Very
likely. in addition to the large number of Brit
isll ships actively engaged in this attack there
we're protecting rings on the alert for the Ger
man submarines or fast cruisers, which. it
might be expected, would seize the opportunity
to speed into the Straits of Dover and attack
the British while they were engaged IN land
bombardment. But the opportunity, if such it
vas, developed differently. The Germans
crossed the North Sea and bombarded the Eng
lisll coast.
There will undoubtedly be much criticism,
both among opposing belligerents and neutrals,
Of the German act in Smelling defenseless towns.
This war has shown that the dropping OF
bombs and shells among non-combatants is
merely an incident Of the cruel conflict The
Germans say that the Allies have done the same
thing. They point to the dropping of bombs
on Freiburg by British aviator. The British
report this affair was that the bombs were
dropped on an airship shed. In the absence
Of investigation by an impartial tribunal the
conflicting statements must stand for what they
appear to be worth The question is, Had the
Germans any military Justification for their
bombardment of the English townss

In Memory of Miss Willie Pearl
Sowell.

We sometimes say when we
hear of or see :. misfortune come
to others, "well I'd rather die
than have that kind of thing
happen to me-" but when we
are called upon to stand by and
watch day by day and night
after night while some dread dis
ease saps the life from one we
love and we stand by powerless
to turn aside the thing we see is
coming; when we see the dear
face grow more transparent
each day and the thin hands
grow thinner and paler and the
beloved form wasting away as
time goes, how, 0! how much
do our hearts bleed and our very
souls cry out within us 20! any
thing but death, O! that my low
ed one could live, let come what
may" and at last when the
weary spirit takes its flight and
we have loved from its very in
fancy lying cold in death and
the beloved voice silent forever,
and realize that we can never
look into those eyes nor heal/
that voice any more in this
world, then it is that we feel the
keenest agony that comes to a
soul in this world. Then it is
that we feel like crying out in
despair my God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me" But, in
this deep heart sorrow there
comes to us a fuller realization
of the blessedness of hope be-
yond the grave. Then of all
times in our lives we are more
able to appreciate the hope of a
life in another world.
We have passed through ali of
this in the death of our beloved
daughtenand sis stes, Willie Pearl

Woodrow Wilson to Speak in
Cheraw

Woodrow Wilson, President
OF the United States, has accept
ed an invitation to visit Cheraw
in July and make an address, the
occasion being the celebration
OF the 15Oth anniversary of the
founding of the little city on the
Pee Dee River. The Hon. Jc-
sephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, and the Hon. David Hous-
ton, Secretary of Agriculture,
have also accepted invitations
to be present and make address
es.
The Cheraw Democratic Club
has the distinction of being the
first club in the United States to
pass a resolution endorsing
Woodrow Wilson for President
OF the United States. AT that
time Mr.. Wilson was merely
being mentioned every now and
then in varous parts of the coun-
try as a possible candidate. The
Cheraw club sent instructed del
egates to the Chesterfield Coun-
ty Convention to introduce and
supported similar resolution in
the county convention. Mr..
Wilson, after receiving the NOM
lnaton at the Baltimore conven-
ton, wrote letters of apprecia-
ton to the Democrats of Che
raw. He stated that he felt as if
he were well acquainted with
the people of that to N as his
father and uncle had preached
there and he had heard so much
from them about the town and
its people. He promised to visit
the town the first opportunity he
received. w. i. Stevenson went

flant.
Jeffersonian.
A dam costing only few
hundred dollars, built across
Little Fork Creek, at the foot of
Brewer Mine Hill, would furnish
sufficient power to run a saw
mill or ginnery, and light the
streets, stores. public buildings
and residences of Jefferson, and
besides all this, there would be
power to run sewing machine
and an electric fan in every
house in town. This is an
ideal spot for a dam, and the
flow of water is sufficient all the
year round for the needs of a
small town like this. During
the far greater part of the year
twice as much power could be
secured as is indeed. Of course,
tne Dam would be only a part OF
the initial expense, but the op-
portunity is there, and some day
it will be eagerly seized.
The east side of Brewer Mine
Hill is a much freqnented spot,
during the spring and summer.
The old pit, 100 feet deep, the
long tunnel, abandoned machin.
cry of the mining company, the
steep hillsides covered with deli
cate ferns, trailing arbutus and
honeysuckle and the bold, swift
creek at the foot of the Hill all
make it the most charming bit
of scenery in this part of South
