THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW

As Christian Bible Students-The Sat
isfactory Proof Of "Why God Permits
Evil"
One Of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is.
"Why does God permit evilT' AS we
look about us I'm the world we observe
that IL is filed with sorrow and trouble
sickness and pain and every trial we
could enumernte. and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS 1T.
We realize that He Is almighty and
that He could prevent II II He wished
We read In His Word that He Is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs. and we
know how much that means; yet of
tentimes II seems that those who try
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question Is made very
clear In n book entitled. THE Divine
Plan OF the Ages" Every statement
Is backed by Scripture. and shows that
while God does not sanction evil HE
HAS HAD A PURPOSE IN ALLOW
ING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN
THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS
This and many other subjects OF dcer
interest TO all of Gods people are dis
cussed fully and In language easy OF
comprehension.

WILSON GIVES HIS VIEWS

Following is the Official statement is
sued as representing the views OF
President Wilson and the administra-
ton on Mexico:
'In discussions In oficial circles In
Washington of the present Mexican
situation the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
'It has been pointed out that, IN
considering the present somewhat
delicate situation In Mexico. the un-
pleasant incident at Tampico must not
be thought of alone. For some time
past the de facto government OF Mex
leo has seemed to think mere apollo
gies sufficient when the rights OF
American citizens or the dignity of
the government of the United States
were involved and has apparently
made no attempt at either reparation

ous derelictions OF its civil and mill

The Success Label.

Upton Sinclair, commenting in Bal
timore on the enormous fortunes now
existing in America, said:
In no other place the world over
are such fortunes to be found One
reason is that our laws regulating
financial transactions are less strin-
gent than those of other countries.
and another reason is that even where
we have laws our magnates forget
about them.

with laugh, the histories of some
of our largest American fortunes show
clearly that on the door of success is

Friday morning. April 10. boats
crew OF United States marines, in
command of Assistant Paymaster
Charles C. Copp. left the gunboat Dol
phine for Tampico to get fresh sup
ply of gasoline.
The United States flag was flying
from the stern of the whaleboo, when
1t approached the landing in Tampico.
For no assigned cause Assistant
Paymaster Copp and his men were
placed under arrest as they stepped
ashore.
After the Americans had been de-
tanned several hours. word OF their ar
rest was carried to Rear Admiral
Mayo, who demanded their immediate
release.
The demand was complied with, but
the only reparation made was a brief
expression of regret for the alleged
mistake.

Washington.-Never before in the
history Of the nation has the strength

Sumter to Charleston.

sSA ~ SA11IISS8IOns
Below is clipping from a re-
cent issue of the Sumter Daily
Item relative to the further ex.
tension of the S. G. w. railroad:
A representative of The Daily
Item has been informed, un-
officially, but authoratively,
that the Bonsal syndicate will
begin work on the extension of
the South Carolina Western Rail-
road from Sumter to Charleston
as soon as the construction of the
road from Andrews to Charleston
is completed, and that the exten-
sion will be almost an air line by
way of Ferguson to Strawberry,
where it will connect with the
Andrews Charleston line. This
information came from an official
OF the S. G. w. Ry, who stated
that he had it from President Bon
sal, who authorized the state
ment. 1t was also stated that the
road from McBee via. Sumter to
Charleston would be the main
line for western traffic, and that
when the gap between Jefferson
and Monroe jS cIOcod ond tho limo
strengthened by building short
section of new road from near
Bishopville to a point on the
main line of the Seaboard Air
Line, near McBee, it will be by
far the shortest route, in connect
ion with the Clinchfield and
allied systems, from Chicago and
the Middle West to a deep water
harbor.

Experts Will Lead Mosquito
Campaign.

II. r. Carter, NJ. D., United
States public health service, for
six years director of hospitals in
the canal zone, and George Le-
Prince. who was chief sanitary
engineer in the canal zone in
charge of the mosquito brigade"
will take up the work of freeing
certai.i section in South Carolina
OF malaria. These men have
been secured by the State board
OF health to cooperate with it in
this work, and will commence
in Greenville. Richland and
Orangeburg counties and per-
haps some other counties. James
A. Hayne, M. D., State health
officer, who was connected with
DR.. Carter in the canal zone, will
go with them.
The work that these men will
undertake will be prominently
practical. They will visit a com
munity, personally investigate
the source of malaria or the
breeding places of mosquitoes.
They will obtain specimens of
the larvae and adult mosquitoes,
and will take pictures of condi-
tons as they are. They will e1lf
mate the cost for a community
to be mosquito free, and will
hold public meetings where the
Citizens may obtain at first hand
an accurate knowledge of the
malaria conditions in their i'm.
mediate neighborhood. AS the
salaries of these men are paid by
the government, a community
will have to pay only the actual
cost of investigation if it wishes
to undertake the work of mos
quito elimination.-The State.
