NEEDING AND WANTING

No the burden of the day 1t is when

The difference in meaning of the two words needing

ence of young Chicago couple who got into trouble with
the Federal Authorities because Of the husbands efforts to
counterfeit ten-doIar gold certificates.

This unfortunate young woman used the word need,
whereas she really meant that she wanted the things that
her husband committed crime to get for her.
The baby cries. IT want It, want it, but the person OF

THE EDGE OF WINTER

The skies are getting blue again, the
sun is on its climb,
We're almost standing now upon the
edge of winter time;
Another step or two and we shall
reach the promised spring
And stand bare-headed out of doors in
orchards blossoming.
And we shall see the martins mate,
and hear the bluejay cry,
And watch him work his villainies up
on his neighbors nigh;
The robin from the lawn shall tug,
with wonderous strength and skill,
The slow defenseless angle worm, and
there shall eat his fill.
A thousand things therell be to see, a
thousand joys to charm,
And some shall find them in yard
and some upon a farm;
The roses that we've known so long
shall start to bud again
And every sleeping plant shall wake
to feel the gentle rain.
The joy of it is never old, there's no
monotony
In seeing tulips come to bloom, and
green adorn tree.
The soul that's tuned to living things
feels every year thrill
OF gladness that the blossoms bring,
and to the end it will.

NOTES FROM'EUROPE
THREE FROM GREAT BRITAIN
AND ONE FROM GERMANY,
ON NEUTRAL RIGHTS.

Washington, Aug. e. Three notes
from Great Britain and one from
Berlin, all dealing with the CONNER
cial rights of neutrals, were before
Secretary Lansing today. The Bri-
tish notes probably will be given to
the press for publication Wednesday
morning and the German note the
following day.
The British note defends efforts of
the allies to suppress trade between
their enemies and neutral countries
even by the stoppage of abnormal
commerce through neutral countries
adjacent to the Teutonic allies. Pre-
cedents in international law estab-
lished by the United States during
the Civil War, and especially in the
practical blockade of the Bahamas
to cut off supplies from the Confed-
crate States, are revived to support
this assertion of right. There also are
citations of decisions by the United
States supreme court.
The note was intended to meet the
objection of the United States that

Rev. Louis J. Bristow Sunday
morning, at the close of services in
the Baptist church, announced his
resignation as pastor of that church.
Mr.. Bristow moved to Abbeville
some six years ago, and from the
date of his arrival he has been fac
tor in the public life of Abbeville.
He was the moving spirit in the
building of the new Baptist church in
this place. He leaves only when
duty calls elsewhere. The following
sketch is taken from the Columbia
Record:
Rev. Louis j. Bristow is one of the
able young men of the State He is
a nephew of the late Louis j. Beatty,
at one time editor of morning paper
at Charleston, and more recently edi-
tor of the Georgetown Times until
his death. Mr.. Bristow early in life
conceived a fondness for journalism
and worked on the papers in the Pee
Dee section. Subsequently he was
legislative reporter and feature
writer for the Charleston News and
Courier and was in Columbia doing
newspaper work when war with
Spain was declared. He volunteered
as an enlisted man in the Darlington
Guards, but subsequently was COM
missioned a lieutenant by Gov. Eller-
be and assisted in raising a company
for the Second regiment. He had
responsible assignments in the army
and was highly regarded by mis- fel-
low officers.
Subsequently he became editor of
the paper at Kingstree and then was
associated with Rev. V. I. Masters of
Anderson county as editor and pub
lished of the Baptist Courier. They
put lot of life into the paper and
helped to build it up to its present
