Harrison's Secretary Of the Navy,
died of paralysis here to-day in his

Gen. Tracy's death occurred short

fight for life that had amazed the
physicians.

mon, using as his text Hebrews 8: 10.
Forty-eight churches are members

one new church Niberty) was re-

All the officers were reelected, as

THE oCoNEE FARMERs' MUTUAL
Fire Insurance Association Held
Meeting Yesterday.

The Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Association of Oconee held it's
annual meeting yesterday at the
Court House, there being a large per-
centage Of the membership present,
participating in a meeting of unusual
harmony and accord.
All Of the officers of the association
were re-elected-J. p. Stribling,
president; T. Y. Chalmers, vice pres
ident; j. d. Isbell, secretary, treasu-
rer and agent. The township direc-
tors were also reelected as a whole.
The report Of the secretary and
treasurer showed the association to
be in splendid shape financially. From
this report for the year closing June
30, 1915, we gather the following
pertinent facts: On June 30, 1914,
the association had on hand cash to
the amount of $50. During the year
$6,743.31 was collected on premiums,
and during the same period the asSo-
citation paid out on losses and eX-
penSes SIS, ,O53.13. On June 80, 1915,
there was a cash balance on hand to
the amount Of 5 ,G96.18. During the
year only two assessments were made
in order to meet the losses and pay
all operating expenses, these two
assessments bringing into the treasury
sufficient revenue TO present q clear
sheet and carry forward a cash bal
ancC of some sixteen hundred dollars.
The cost Of protection to the mem
hers Of the association has been
slightly less than one per cent. The
sum of $3S5.16 was due the associa-
tion on premiums on June 30th.
There are now 900 policy-holders
in the Oconee association, and all are
pleased with the general situation.
They feel-and Justly so-that they
are receiving absolutely safe prOtec-
tiOn at a minimum Of cost.
The officers Of the association are
giving the business careful and con-
scientious consideration, leaving no
stone unturned to legitimately in
crease the range of the company's
beneficial work of giving adequate
protection to those in the country
who desire 20 carry insurance on their
property at the very lowest possible
cost.

close of his address the speaker asked
all loyal supporters Of the prohibi-
ton movement to stand, and almost
to man the whole body arose, thus
pledging themselves to be more
loyal to their churches, their homes
their country and their common
Lord. This was great hour, and
one that will bear good fruit on Sep
tember 18th.
While the offerings have not been
quite as large for the last year, very
gratifying reports come in from al
most all the churches.
The churches and pastors are lay
ing greater stress on missions, Sun
day schools, women's work and
Christian education than ever before.
The greatest needs seem to be
these for majority Of the churches,
viz: Better buildings, better trained
pastors and Sunday school teachers,
and more preaching services per
month.
p. p. Sullivan offered a resolution
of hearty thanks to New Hope
church and community for their gen.
erous and unexcelled hospitality to
the delegates and visitors.
Rev. l.. D. Mitchell offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was heart
lily adopted:
Resolved, That in view Of the
election to be held in South Carolina
on September 18th, 1915, on the
question OF Statewide prohibition,
the Beaverdam Baptist Association,
in session at New Hope church, Au-
gust Sd, 1915, hereby declares itself
the composite and unrelenting en-
emy Of the whiskey business, and the
ardent and loyal supporter Of the
present great prohibition movement" ."
The session was closed by singing
'Blest be the Tie" and prayer by
Rev. A. p. Marett, a former modera-
tor Of the Beaverdam Association,
but now OF Malvern, AK.

| Confidence expressed by officials
generally that the conferees repre-
sented the United States, Brazil, Ar

and Uruguay will shape a course
| likely to restore constitutional gov

that all agree that most Of the people
of the republic are sick Of war and
withft encouragement from friendly
| powers, will join in a movement to
clean house. A large part of the
/ country and vast majority of the
people have not Deen involved in the
fighting that followed the overthrow
Of Huerta. Only the fear Of reprisals
by the military chieftaihs has kept
the people in subjection, confidential
agents have reported to President
| Wilson. >
Reaching their conclusion on these
reports, the Pan-American conferees
are understood to have determined to
present the situation to all elements
in Mexico, including military leaders
and other influential men, urging
them TO come together for a confer
ence at which a substantial provis-
ionGl government may be framed.

the support Of the United States and
other8American republics. Officials
here believe 1t could suppress prompt
ly any dissatisfied groups. Officials
hope none of the important chiefs will
oppose the plan.
There has been talk Of joint armed
intervention to quiet any leader who
insists on remaining in the field with
military for es. Some Of the con-
ferees, however, are said to believe
