ONE OF LOVES PROBLEMS.

Dear Miss Libbey:- t
 I have come to you for advice I am a Catholic girl; have been going with a Protestant man for some time. We think very much of each other His parents object to our courtship on account of my being a Catholic. There are no Catholic young men around here. Do you think my religion should interfere with his parents2 We go together on the jslay or rather when ever we can get away. I love him and no one else. He says he loves ms. What shall we do? My parents don't object to our courtship- They said that we were old to realize our own minds and the step that is coming for ward Do you think can win him? against my religion? Half of his rel attves are Catholics now. What should we do-go together on the sly? He comes quite often, but not as often as he should on account of his folks What should I do? Is it my place to talk to his mother? She doesn't speak to me when she sees me Thanks for your advice. Is my writing good?
 BROKEN -HBARTED LUCILLE- The question you ask is one of such vital importance that no outsider should attempt toEinhuence you in de- eiding this sad love problem Some hearts thus mated have loved on peacefully to the end. Others have found the bond irksone in after years because of the complications arising. A divided hearth and home is seldom an entirely happy one.
 In regard to counting on the sly [ ad- wise strongly against such a. course.

IF COUSINS WED.

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am a young man of 2A am deep 1y in love with my cousin, an unusual 1y sweet and fair girl, who returns my affection! Would it be right or wrong in your opinion for us to marry?
 J.L. In some states the marriage of first cousins Is said to be prohibited; am not prepared to substantiate this, how ever. So close a tie of kinship engen- ders warm affection between those thus related, but whether a, love strong enough to endure through long years of welded life could be counted on is quite another matter. Take at least two years longer to consider the ques- ton ere proposing. Go among pretty young girls You do not have to make love to them, but they will help you to decide that there are many other lovable girls who are not your rela- tiYes.

NEVER BEEN IN LOVE.

Dear Miss Libbey:- I ] This is from 8 girl of IT. I have new CT been in love. There is 8 young man who appears to notice me consider ably. He has never told me he cares for me. He goes with other girls. Do you think he cares about me?
 A MN At IT a girl is too young to specu- late over love or lovers It is not wise to form the opinion that the young man is interested particularly in you until you have that admission from his own lips. Men are by no means too bashful to come forward and declare themselves when they meet the one girl who has the right appeal to their heart.

or all the smart materials that have made bid for smart favor none has exceeded covert cloth in excellence for the smart topooat. The design shown here is capable Of varied treatments but reaches the height of chic in the self -strappinga and fun. ripping lower section
 The sleeves have two seams. finished with deep cuffs Of their own material Tan. elive-drab or elephant gray covert cloth is very fashionable for this de- signs 3 yards being required if 54 inches wide. This makes a 36-inch coat; if the 3s-inchs length is preferred, 2A yards of 54-fnch cloth will be sufficient The collar may be closed at the throat or thrown back
 Teday's lesson concerns the cutting of the coat exclusively. After folding the cloth the back is laid on the length wise fold, about an inch from the edge of the material On account Of the rippled effect at the bottom there is a decided sloping away of the pattern which makes it's possible to place the cuff and lower sleeve section opposite the back. only on lengthwtse thread To the right of the back the yoke and collar are laid; these on the lengthwise fold. Although laid very close to the fold the front of the coat is placed on a lengthwise thread; opposite lies the pocket and to the left of the pocket is the upper sleeve section
 For shorter length coat cut off lower edges of front and back on lower line of small "o' perforations.
 It is considered very smart to mount the coat on a lining of bright striped or checked silk.
 In spite of the brilliant models. how ever. the fashionable co1ors this year are the duIIer ones-dark blues, greens, browns and putty color. often com bined with black. And, in fact, in everything. the tendency Is toward a restraint and moderation bef1tting the times in which we live

STRONG FLEET IN SOUTH.
United States Has 81, Vessels Engag-
cd in Extensive List of Services.

Washington, March 10.--SeCretary
Daniels today issued Il statement on
the condition of the Atlantic fleet and
its auXiliaries now manocuvring in
Mexican gulf and Caribbean waters.
1t was considered significant by some
observers of the Mexican situation.
1t follows:
Never before in the history OF our
navy has such a powerful fleet been
assembled for active service, manoeu-
vres and target practice. with guns
and torpedoes, as that based on Guam
tanamo, Cuba, for the last Two months
under the command of Rear Admiral
Fletcher. command chief of the
Atlantic fleet. This force now con-
sists Of 10 battleships and 20 destroy
ers, with flagship and tender.
Based also on Guantanamo bay is
the cruiser squadron, consisting of two
armored cruisers and seven Ii, It
cruisers and gupboats, the various
units of which have been operating
in the vicinity of Hayti, Santo Domin-
so, and the east coast of Mexico.
THE vessels comprising this fleet
are ready for any service, and are
accompanied by repair ships, supply
ships and fuel ships, carrying coal, oil
and supplies for an extended period.
"At Key West the reserve torpedo
llotilla, consisting of ten destroyers
and tender. have been engaged in
extended operations.
AT Pensacola six submarines, with
four tenders. have been operating, en-
gagged in manoeuvres distinctly there
on and in joint operation with air
craft and with the san Francisco, a
mine laying vessel.
Results of the extended opera
tions in which the above named ves-
sells to the number of SO are engaged
can not fail to be Of great benefit to
the navy"

To Get Increase i'm Pay.

After July Is, 1915, most of the ru-

RETURNS FROM FOUR CITIES
statistics OF Charleston, Columbia,
Greenville ana Spartanburg Recog-
nizcd by Government.

Columbia, March 9.-Columbia,
Greenville and Spartanburg have
been admitted into che registration
area of the United States for the
year 1915 and thereafter. according
to advices received yesterday at the
State board of health from the bu-
reau of the census.
This action resulted directly from
the vital statistisc law which has
been in effect since January l. Hith-
erto Charleston has been the only
city in South Carolina to enjoy the
publicity given by the government to
the reports of health conditions. 1t
Is thought that this is but q pre-
liminary step toward including many
other South Carolina towns in the
registration area. after the vital sta
tistics reports for the first quarter
have been submitted.

The eastern Carolina tobacco grow

Accepting advice from a competitor
in business about how to manage
your own business is about as bad as
acting as your own lawyer.

grower has the inside track for a few
years at least, if he aims at quality

acres of fancy brights. and not

The acreages that were planted In
wheat hereabouts are all up To good
stands and are reported I'm excellent

yield will result and that the farmers
win thus be encouraged in raising this
important grain crop that has been
comparatively neglected for a great
many years In this county Most OF
the planters have put In their corn or
are doing so now. The absence of
any fertilizer hauling has been very
noticeable this spring. Only a small
quantity has been received here and
that was mostly cotton sead meal
which many OF the farmers exchanged
for with their seed.
II Is less than month OF to the
annual election of town officials and
little has been heard of any candi-
dates. The election takes place on
April 5. IL Is probable that Mayor
Thames will offer for reelection and
he will no doubt run without oppo-
sition.
