The RESIGNATION of Mr.. Bryan.

The most striking thing in connec-
ton with the resignation Of Mr.. Bryan
from the cabinet, probably, is the ef-
feet it will have in bringing the coun-
try to q keener realization of the tre-
mendous national crisis with which
il is confronted.
Theoretically the secretary Of state
is supposed to have entire charge of
the country's foreign relations, or at
least he is supposed to have the con-
trolling voice. This has always been
the case except under circumstances
where the president was a man of eX-
ceptional personality and force, and
where the issues involved were tre-
mendous as now. In the present crisis
there were two great personalities at
the head of the government, and
where their convictions differ, as in
the present instance what has happen
cd only seems natural.
The full significance of the present
situation is too vast to be comprehend
ed by the average mind. 1t is doubt
full as to whether it can be brought
fully within the comprehension of any
mind, and it is certain that no indi-
vidual of less comprehension of all the
surroundings and correlative facts
than the president or secretary of state
are supposed to have, and charged
with their responsibility, could intel
ligently deal with it at all.
All the advance that civilization has
made in thousand years, is now
hanging on the event of the bloodiest
and most terrible and destructive war
the world has ever known, and Amer
lea, far greater than any other country
involved. being still apparently in the
position of final arbiter her admins
tration is sweating blood over the
question as to what is the right course
for her to take.
If Mr. Bryan were a man of less
prominence and force in the affairs of
the nations, it would be proper to say
of him that he had no business to re-
sign and run away from such crisis;
but under the circumstances it must
be conceded that if the president in
sists upon overriding his views, he has
right to disclaim further RESPONSE
bility by washing his hands of the
whole affair. Furthermore Il man of
Mr.. Wilson's tremendous personality,
who is charged with full responsibility
TO his country and to history. is not
to be blamed for following his own
judgment.
We have felt all along and we still
feel that the United states should keep
out of this war We are unable to see
that ii is the duty of this country to in
terfere in any way: out we understand
that our area of vision is only an in
linitesimal fraction compared with
that of either of the two great states
men who have come to such sharp
difference and it is not for us to try
IN decide between them

WANT COMPULSORY EDUCATION

Following the lead set by the Hick-
.ory Grove school district several
months ago, in which that district
unanimous decided to adopt compul-
sorry education next year, Oak Ridge
School District No. has decided that
it would be wise to have all the chill
dren in the district attend school and
a petition has been signed by major
ity of the qualified voters asking that
the county board declare the law in
force in that territory.
Superintendent Carroll received the
petition from Miss Mary Eva Hite Of
Columbia, president Of the State
School Improvement association, this
week, the lady stating that the petition
had been forwarded to her by men,
bers of the Oak Ridge School I'm
provement association, which organi-
zation is largely responsible for pro-
motion Of the project.
The county superintendent has filed
the petition with the clerk Of the
court, whose duty 1t is to count the
ndIneS llc pellliOi oho "
port his findings to the county board
of registration. The board Of regis
tration Is required to check the sigma
lures against the registration list for
the school district, and II there Is
lawful majority, to report the fact to
the superintendent Of education, who
shall declare the law in force.
Hickory Grove was the first school
district in the county to adopt COM
pulsory education and one Of the first
in the state. Oak Ridge is about the
tenth district in South Carolina to en-
act the new measure. The district has
two-teacher school and an enroll
ment of about sixty pupils. The teach
ers during the past year Of school
were Misses Julia Plexico and Flor
ence Steele Of Rock Hill. The trus-
tees are Messrs. John H. Steele, S. B.
Patterson and H. ]. tinker, all Of Rock
Hill No. 1.
Oak Ridge Is regarded by school
experts and people generally, as one OF
the most progressive districts In the
county.
Whether or not there will be other
districts to adopt the law remains to
be seen. If they do, action will have
to be taken quickly, since the law re-
quires that all arrangements must be
completed by July 1.
more or less fully in the Yorkville and
Sharon districts, but nothing more
definite than talk has developed.

gun. All Of them acted with discre-
ton, and doubtless with praisworthy
foresight, but they might as well have
been home in bed, for no church ever
held a more orderly or law-abiding
crowd than the 1000 men who gath
cred around the capitol steps. There
was no disorder: there was no near
riot" or possibility Of riot. The at
mosphere wasn't even tense-and that
is why it can do no harm to Atlanta
to tell what really did happen. The
crowd was there simply to voice
protest against interference by any
body with trial by jury" They
didn't want the prison commission to
interfere with it, and that was why
they were meeting to voice their
views, they said, but they certainly
didn't dream of trying to interfere
with it themselves. The Rev. A. c.
Hendley, pastor Of the Capital View
Baptist church, read resolutions pro-
testing against interference with the
Frank verdict and sentence, upholding
the dignity of the law and trial by
Jury. He was repeatedly cHeered,
after which the crowd quietly broke
up and went home.

Great Britain has reversed her pol
icy as to the treatment Of prisoners
captured on submarines. 1t will be
remembered that upon the capture OF
the first submarine crew Great Britain
gave out that the members thereof
were to be treated something like pi-
rates; but Germany retaliated by Sc
lecting an equal number of British
prisoners for similar treatment. An
other submarine crew was captured by
the British a few days ago, and an
has been made that here
after submarine sailors will be treated
as other prisoners of war.

PREPARE LAND FOR

Best Method Of InoCuIatinu Is
to Use Soil From Old Field

Alfalfa is hard crop to start. II Is
delicate and tender. and to put alfalfa
on ordinary land without any protec-
ton or help Ia about like throwing
away four dollars an acre.
Put on 20 to 30 loads OF manure per
acre; you are preparing the land for
ten years.
But the land must first be worked
over and over until It is free from
weeds. IL may take q disking or hRr-
rowing every ten days all summer to
do this.
II the soil is acid, as shown by the
simple litmus-paper test. put On the
ground limestone. inoculate the
ground and SOW the alfalfa the last of
July or the first of August
The best method of iDoculating the
soil is to use soil from an old alfalfa
field or from a patch Of sweet clover,
wagon load or more PER acre, but
this soil must not lie on top Of the
ground in the hot sun many hours Or
the bacteria will be killed.
There 10 little danger from sweet
clover, which is q two-year plant, and
will not survive In the field when the
alfalfa Is moved as often as 1t needs
moving.
