STRIKE PROVES SERIOUS.
People OF Chicago Tired of Being
without Street Cars-Officials Say
Others Will Start.

Chicago. June 15.-The street car
strike became more serious today MS
the novelty wore off and the Grip
pling effects began to be felt keenly.
"A few elevated trains continued a
slow schedule. Every sort Of wheeled
vehicle, steamboat and even hydro
planes was used for transportation
today. The companies declared they
will start the cars on the west side
tomorrow. though the city council
has forbidden the bringing in of strike
breakers from outside the city, the
company claims to have enough men
to operate cars and that some strik-
ers are already returning ready to
work. Suburban trains were again
swamped with passengers today.

WILL HAVE LADIES' DAY.
SummertOn Prayers Coming for Re.
turn Match Next Week.

AS number Of the members of the
Sumter Tennis Association are anX-
ious to invite some of their lady
friends out to play tennis, it has been
decided that members may invite their
lady friends out on Thursday after
noon after o'clock to play on the as
sociation courts. Members may also
invite their ladies out at any time in
the morning to play, the players fur
nishlng their own balls at all times.
1t is probable that the return match
with the Summerton players will be
given on next Tuesday afternoon, that
time having been decided on unless
happens to prevent the
match being pulled off at that time.
The Summerton men had slightly the
advantage in the outcome on the re-
cent visit there of the Sumter players
and the latter are anxious for re-
venge. Efforts will be made to have
some singles with the Summerton
players before the doubles commence.

gest street car strike is over. The

leave, but was forcibly detained. Af-
terward nobody tried to depart. Just
after dawn the agreement was reach
ed. The company will choose a man,
the union will choose one man, and

WHAT SHOCKED BRYAN?
Berlin and Cologne Newspapers Un-
able tn Find I'm Wilson'S Note Any
Insupcrablc Bar to Continued Peace
With This Country.

Berlin, via London, June 13.-The
Sunday morning newspapers of Berlin
generally profess inability 10 under
stand the motives prompting William
j. Bryan to retire from the post Of
Secretary Of State. The Morgen Post
says:
THE former Secretary seems to
have less confidence than we in the
honest desire Of the American gov
ernment to arrive at a peaceful COM
promise with us. Mr.. Bryan is con-
vinced that President Wilson and his
government will finally appeal to
force. We are not now disposed to
believe this. but will await events"
The Boersen Zeitung says:
'Bryan's resignation has been in
terpreted as indicating that the note
would be rather blunt, which, how
ever. in nOwise is the case. The note
shows. on the contrary, an outspoken
with Germany on the issues involved.
If, therefore, Bryan desires to be the
representative of peaceful efforts in
opposition to the jingoistic tendency
Of the American government, we real
ly do not know on what ground he
will base his assertion"
The Boersen zeitung terms Mr..
Bryan's proclamation to the people
even harder to understand than his
resignation.
The Tabeblatt suspects that prac-
tical political differences played a part
in the resignation of the secretary,
saying:
1T may safely be assumed that
Bryan did not leave office in order to
withdraw himself from political life."
The Reichsbote, commenting on
the American note, says:
Either the tone was subdued fol-
lowing Bryan's sensational resignation
or Bryan desired to take advantage
OF an opportunity to escape easily
from situation which no longer was
pleasant"
The Deutsche Rundschau says:
After seeing the note, it must be
said that Mr.. Bryan either was hasty
or else other reasons yet unknown de-
cided his action.

fort described was used as a post
office building i'm it's original position
and the name Willow Grove was con-
tinued.
Later on the postoffice-not the
building-was moved a mile and a
half northward to Sanders cross roads
and was for many years kept there as
Willow Grove postoffice," by the
writer's maternal grandfather, Bartlett
Sanders. Esq.
This location was on the road
known to those who lived on It as the
Mecklenburg or North Carolina road.
running for many miles on the west
side of and pa. allel to Lynches creek
and intersected by a road from the
direction of Cheraw across that creek
at Sanders ferry and leading on
down in the direction of Kingstree
and Georgetown.
| In after years, about 1875, the Will
low Grove postoffice was moved to
another cross road three-fourths of a.
mile south of it's original location and
the name changed to Lynchburg and
so called until recent years and as
you are aware is now South Lynch
burg.
This log house was owned during
the Revolution by a man named Sher-
wood who probably then owned the
land on which it stood. Later this
land was owned by a man named
DuRant, and later still by James r.
Law; and after that by the late James
G. Mcintosh, son of William McIn-
tosh.
The exact location of this battle
ground is in front Of the Baptist
church in the town of Lynchburg as
now incorporated.
The precise acre on which this fort
stood is now owned by Mrs. J. F. Nc
Intosh, Jr., vice regent Of Jane Camp
bell chapter, and great granddaugh-
ter-in-law of William Mcintosh.
William Mcintosh was a member
of Capt. Nelson's company in Marion's
brigade and about the Sth Of March,
1871, fought in the battle of Willow
Grove. Mrs. Sarah Z. McGill, an as
lsociate member of this chapter, now
living in Camden, Ark, is the daugh-
ter of William Mcintosh, the patriot.
and has turned over to her local chap
ter the gun her father used during
the Revolution.
Mrs. McGill is a native of the Sec
ton near here once known as Lower
Salem, on Black river. She re-
ceives regularly a pension from the
government as real daughter Of the
American Revolution.

The Tagliche Rundschau declares
that. while the note seeks a way to
compromise, it seeks it along lines
(which must result to the disadvan-
tage of Germany" The Tagliche
Rundschau continues:
''rhe note, therefore, is calculated
only to postpone Il settlement Of Ger

bring it about. The friendly tone
we acknowledge, but the declaration
that the sinking of the Lusitania was
unparalleled in modern warfare
seems opposed to the character Of up
right friendship

declares: "And the watchword is, The

Count Won Reventlow, in the Tages
Zeitung, says: IF President Wilson
persists in his refusal to recognize the
German declaration of a war zone we
are not able to conceive Of an agree
ment, or even real understanding
Count Won Reventlow adds:
president Wilson brushes aside
with light gesture the chief parts of
the German note as unimpOrtant
When President Wilson appeals for
morality and human rights, let him
extend these noble motives first to
American munitions. Germany can
not abandon the use of her best i'm
plements of war merely in order that
Americans may sail the war zone on
British ships"

Way Open for Peace.

Cologne. Germany, via London,
June 13.-The Koelnische Zeitung
thinks that Mr.. Bryan's withdrawal
from the American State Department,
whatever else 1t may mean, also
shows that the Koelnische Zeitung's
verdict concerning the Cunard liner
Lusitania finds comprehension among
Americans and that these are not dis
posed to destroy the bridges connect
ting the, two nations.
The peace which Bryan breaches is
also possible along the ways followed
by President Wilson, the newspa per
says, and then adds:
For this, however, 1t indeed is nee
essary that Americans respect also
Germanys' sacred rights"
The Morgen Post says THE note
Is hlled with tones of heartiness and
friendliness and seeks to open and
smooth the way for further negotia-
tions. The offer to mediate between
Germany and Great Britain will un-
questionably be gladly accepted by the
German government, and If mediation
fails 1t will be Great Britain's fault"
The Morgen Post praises the up
rightness of the United States and
hopes that 1T will be possible to DEM
onstrate that Germany is acting with
in her rights.
The Tageblatt says: 1T cannot be
seen why the German government
should not be able to enter into q dic-
cussion with the American govern
ment concerning another kind and
manner of naval warfare. This nos
sibility is increased by the American
oHer to mediation with England. The
answer will not be ready for several
weeks but it must be said that the

tons with the United States, whose
wars of liberation they once iovfullv
greeted and within whose borders mill
lions of Germans have found new
homes.
Ihe earnest character of the note
may not be overlooked but il con-
tains nothing which even Indirectly
can be looked upon as an ultimatum."
Die Post is dissatisfied, saving:
The note sails the old course and
demands the cessation of our subma-
rlne campaign, and again emphasizes
the remarkable special right of Amer
lean citizens to voyage through war
zone as passengers on ships belonging
to belligerent powers"
The newspaper says that negotio- -
tons will continue, but whether ,
real result can be obtained is oues-
tionahle. since the demand of the
'Anglo-Americans'' that the subma-
rlnc warfare he stopped lies outside
the scope Of practical discussions"

meh's contained in the American
note quite unconvincing."
