A few Of the boy scouts decid-
ed 70 do little scouting last
Tuesday evening in the park
where 40 young folks were en-
joying a picnic supper. They did
good work as some Of the picnic
ers did not dare venture from
the camp fire after hearing un-
expected rustling Of leaves and
forms crawling away under dark
shadows. The parents Of the
scouts did not approve of the
newly self7appointed' duties Of
the boys and think it will not
be repeated.
The young men in town were
hosts Tuesday evening to a pic
mic in the park. A large bon
fire under a bushel pail Of corn
ears was the main attraction.
Wieners were roasted on long
forked sticks that were later
used for marshmellows. These
with the buns furnished the re-
freshments. The evening was
ideal and all had such time
that the boys decided to have
another affair of the same kind
one evening while the teachers
are here attending institute.

The origin of the emblem Of the sun
as the japanese national symbol dates
back to time immemorial. The first
record of its use on land Is that Of q

the emblem was adopted by the feudal

On last Sunday night, about the
hour of midnight, B F Cobb and
wife, of Russell street, were awaken
ed from their slumbers by the sound
of an automobile in front of their
house and by a rap at their front
door. On going to the door, they
discovered that the car had depart
ed; but they found, just to the left
of the door, tiny baby wrapped in
swaddling clothes. No clue was
left as to it's identity nor the ident-
ity of the party who left it there.

cident of it's kind in Darlington. To

NO MORE LINERS TO BE TORPE.
DOED BY GERMAN SUBMARI.
MES WITHOUT NOTICE.

Washington, September 1:'-Strain'
ed relations between the United
States and Germany over submarine
warfare apparently passed into his
tory today after Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador, in
formed Secretary Lansing in writing
that prior to the sinking of the Ar
abic his Government had decided
that its submarines should sink no
more liners without warning.
Oral assurance to this effect had
been given by the Ambassador last
week. But it was not until Count
Won Bernstorf, after call at the
state department today, returned to
the embassy and sent letter to Mr.
Lansing quoting instructions from
Berlin concerning an answer to be
made to the last American note on
the sinking of the Lusitania that of:
fcials frankly admitted their graft
fcation over the changed position of
the Imperial Government.
Secretary Lansing said in a for
NAL statement that the letter ap-
pears to be recognition of the fun
damental principle for which we
have contended." He Immediately
sent the communication to the White
House and discussed it in cheerful
vein with his callers, who included
Chief Justice White, Secretary Nc
Adoo and Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina. Everywhere in admins
tration circles there was visible re-
taxation.
