London, March 22.-Not since the
days when the hardy Beers of the
Transvaal arose, only to be crushed in
blood, has England been so stirred as
now. The King held repeated confer
ences Saturday with his ministers, the
threatened uprising in Ulster being the
sole topic.
Every secretary and under-secretary
remained at his post, instead OF taking
his usual weekend holiday. Troops
were on the move. Actual conflict in
the bitter fight growing out of the
home rule bill, now requiring but one
more passage in the House of Com
mons to make it a law. appeared i'm
minent.
From Belfast came reports of prep
arations of the men of Ulster to Ifs
sist the government. So delicate was
the situation that Sir Edward Carson,
Ulster leader, in his headquarters at
Craigavon, counseled calmness on the
part of his followers, while War Sec
rotary Seely directed General Paget,
commanding the British troops in Ire
land, to take extreme care not pro-
woke an outbreak.
The day passed without a clash, but
Ulster literally slept on its arms.
The reinforcing OF various garrisons
with British troops continued far into
the night. Warships dropped anchors
in the harbors. Within another TWEEN
ty-four hours the government expected
to have enough troops in the north to
adequately defend every garrison from
possible raids and speedily crush any
aggressive movement should the u
ster leaders indicate an intention of
actually carrying out their threats OF
civil war.
An alarming note was sounded by
Lloyd-George in message which he
conveyed to a mass meeting of Liber-
ais at Huddersfield. Discussing Ul-
ster and the attitude of the Unionists,
he said:
Liberalism will not finch one bit
before the plague of toryism. The
country is confronted with the gravest
issue in the history of democratic gov
eminent since the days of the Stuarts.
Representative government in this
land is at stake. am here on behalf
of the government to say We mean
to confront this defiance OF popular
liberties with resolute and unwaver-
ing determination, whatever the haz-
ard may be. We are not fighting about
Ulster or about home rule. We are
fighting for all that is essential to
the civil liberty of this land"

CITY OF RICHMOND
SUBSCR|BES QUOTA
Subscribes Half Million Dol

utes-RichmOnd Coming
to Front as a Commercial
City.

Richmond. Va, is one Southern city
that does things upon big scale. The
State of Virginia, although not one of
the chief cotton producing States,
subscribed her quota. one million dol
lars, to the cotton loan fund. Rich
mond whose quota was half million
dollars, subscribed the half million
dollars and thirty thousand more at a
meeting of the chamber of commerce
held in that city, November 10. The
fund of more than half million was
subscribed within twenty-seven min
utes. The Richmond list was headed
by Virginia Carolina Fertilizer Co.,
with a subscription of 100000. This
subscription was five times as large
as the next highest. Richmond has
been forging to the front as bust
ness centre in recent years. This
move, the rapidity with which it was
carried through and the spirit of CO.
operation which was shown, 90 to
prove that the development in COM
mercial lines is a reality and not sim
ply a boost. The Virginia Carolina.
Fertilizer company leads in the pro-
gressive city of Richmond. No won
der there is growth, substantial
growth in a city dominated by such
energy and pluck.

Rlce:A Please let me tell the public
how the, members of the Duck Pond
Baptist church did my family last
Saturday while l was down at Wag-
ener.
They, Of their own free will, sent
the Union Grocery's delivery wagon
to my, home loaded with almost ev-
everything found in that first class
grocery store. After he had unloaded
the contents Mrs. Garvin found she
had good supply of such things as
We are continuously needing in our
home. She wrote me telling how
they had been treated in nv absence
Of course, such treatment makes us
thank God that our lot has been cast
among this good people.
The many kind deeds we are con-
tlnually receiving from Monarch. OF
taray and Duck Pond are but gentle
reminders that we should ever strive
harder to do more for the glory of
God.
My time will soon be out at Wap-
ener, then if my work continues in
Union county, l hope to be more
closely associated with the pastors in
wing to get our town and county
nearer to God in Christian service.
We again thank one and all who

GERMAN CRUISER
:. SUNK AT LAST
Emden Sunk After Destroy
ing Merchant Ships For
MOnths-Greatest Record
Since the Confederate
Cruiser Alabama.

London, Nov. 10.-Widely different
claims of contending armies in the
eastern and western theatres of war,
especially concerning the West Flan-
ders situation, tonight left but one
big undisputed fact on land or sea-
That was the destruction of the Ger
man crusier Emden and the trapping
of the German crusier Koenigsberg
the lated in a palm-lined East Afri-
can river under circumstances which
read as though they were taken from
Stevenson.
The British marine insurance rate
almost instantly was cut in half-for
never since the days of the Confed-
crate States cruiser Alabama has
there been such a successful COM
merce destroyer as the Emden
Cheers broke forth at Lloyds on the
announcement and for the moment
the struggles of the armies in France,
Belgium, Russia and elsewhere were
forgotten.
The vessels destroyed by the EN-
den had a total value of about $4,-
100000, exclusive of their cargoes.
The Emden's guns are only 4.1-inch.
Of these she had ten. Her speed of
24.5 knots was her greatest asset, as
ships with ease and then escape from
larger but slower vessels that pur-
sued her. British, Russian, French
and Japenese warships in the East
had been attempting for weeks to put
an end to her career.
1t has been more or less of mys-
terry to naval men how the Emdcn has
been able to keep at sea month after
month without running short of coal
and supplies. 1t is assumed, however
that she has obtained sufficient food
and fuel to meet her needs from cap
tured ships. In at least one instance
this is known to have been done. The
captain of the British steamer Ex-
ford, captured by the Emden in the
Indian ocean, reported to his owners
that the commander of the Emden
said that before he sank the Exford
he entended to take on board his
cruiser the 1000 tons of steam coal
with which the Exford was laden.
The first report of the activity of
the Emden was received August 6,
when she was said to have been sunk
in action with the Russian cruiser As
kold. o: Wei-Hai-Wei. This was
contradicted few days later. when
word was received that the Emden
had sunk the steamer City of Win
chester on August 5. and steaminy
into the Bay of Bengal five days later
had sent two more British vessels to
the bottom.
Within three days she had sunk
four vessels there. She was accom-
panied by the Hamberg-America
steamer Markomannia as a collier.
The Markomannia was sunk on Oc-
tober 16 off Sumatra by a British
crusier.

In Memory of NV Friend,
Uncle Daniel Barnett.

(By one who loved him, Miss Lille
Long, Jonesville, S. c., r. F. d. No. y
On the evening of August 8, the an.
gel of death visited the home of Gun
Gle Danier' Barnett and bore his spirit
away. He was dearly loved by all
who knew him; he has passed from
our sight though the sweet memories
of him will live on in our hearts
While his body sleeps in Hebron
churchyard, he has gone to be with
his Savior whom he loved so we'll. The
stormy winds may sing around his
tomb, yet he heeds them not, he has
gone just over there to join the host
of angels in Christ's eternal home.
Time hath not power to bear away
thine image from the heart,
So scenes that mark life's onward
way
Can bid it hence depart.
Yet while our souls with anguish
riven,
Mourn, loved and lost for thee
We raise our fearful eyes to heaven
In joy that thou art free.
We miss him from the band so dear
That gathers around the hearth;
We listen still thy voice to hear
Amid our household mirth.
Thy form we seem to see
We start to find that thou art not
there.
We joy that thou art free.
A thousand old fashioned things
Within our childhood's home
Speak of the cherished absent one
Who nevermore shall come.
They wake with mingled bliss and
pain
Fond memories of thee;
But would we call thee back again?
We joy that thou art free.
Amid earth's conflict, woe and care,
When dark our faith appears.
lis sweet to know thou dost not
share
Our anguish and our tears.
That on thy head no more shall fall
lhe storm you may not flee;
You are softly sheltered from them
all
We JOY that thou art free!
For thou hast, gained higher land,
And Deaths cold storm has passed.
Thine are the joys at Gods right hand
That shall forever last.
A crown is on thy angel brow,
Thine eye the Lord doth see,
Thy home is with seraphs now
We JOY that thou art free.
