Clearing House In Paris.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuH-Sir:
Your readers who have contributed to
the American Girls Aid must be inter-
ested to know Of the progress that Is
being made and OF the needs of our
committee In the work of collecting
clothing for the refugees in France.
We have now shipped 467 cases OF
clothing. This represents. counting six
articles for each individual. outfits for
between 10000 and $4,000 persons
Among the articles that we have already
sent to France We might mention the
following: Sweaters suits. hosiery.
gloves and mittens, shoes. SC. We have
also sent large contributions OF sponges,
not water bags and others supplies
including bandages and anesthetics
which have been contributed by individ-
uals here for the American Ambulance
and other hospitals in France These
articles we have been able to deliver
through the. facilities afforded us by
the American Clearing House In Paris
e. which place all OF our cases are now
being sent by the American Chamber of
Commerce in Paris.
In recent cablegrams received from
the American Relief Clearing House we
hear that the need is greater now than
at the beginning OF the war. and will
probably continue so until the end of
s'C way. -Ni'HHnSN we N's' enthusiasm
~ giving seems to have subsidized,
feel sure that Il the American people
realized how terrible the suffering is
from lack Of proper clothing they would
eagerly fer further assistance.
Shoes AS well as other garments are
needed the suffering caused by lack
OF shoes for adults. as well as for chill
dren. is very great. Clothing Of lighter
weight for the spring and summer. un-
derwear for men. women and children
hosiery of all kinds and shoes would
be acceptable
We are informed by n Clearing
House In Paris that there are $4,000
persons in actual need OF clothing at
the present time In about three hun
dred villages and towns In which refu-
gees are cared for. All these cases have
been investigated

The UnbulldOzed Senate.

Those Senators who have fought
and beaten Mr.. WILSON'S attempt to
pass the ship purchase bill deserve
well of all these United States They
have stuck to the Constitution. They
have defended against Executive en-.
croachment and Senatorial sycophancy
the clear constitutional rights of the
Senate. They have saved the country
from grave danger and an unpar-
donable socialist folly.
If Mr.. WILSON were able to learn
anything from any source less august,
oracular and wisdom exuding than
himself he would have dropped al
together and in any form this unhappy
business instead Of reviving it in the
House. more docile to the ferule. He
is much more likely to ruin the Dem.
ocratic party than to save his face.

President and Congress.

From abraham Lincoln's address at
PusJWg. February 10, 1861.
By the Constitution the Executive
may recommend measures which he may
think proper and he may veto those he
thinks improper, and It Is supposed that
he may add to these certain indirect
gress. My political education strongly
inclines me against very free use OF
any OF these means by the Executive to
control the legislation OF the country.
AS a rule l think it better that Congress
should originate as well as perfect it's
measures without external bias.

Sneak a Good Word.

When the stranger enters your
gate, speak a good word for your
town, for your neighbors. for the
community. 1t is little for you to
do, but it is rich in the fruits Of
after years. A community is judg-
ed by the words and the acts of it's
people, and we of this community are
judged by others in like manner. If
the hearts of our people are warm
ed by the fires Of comradeship and
brotherly love our acts will be in
accord with our feelings, and the
world will know US as a community
of honor and integrity, as a people
with a soul, as a place worthy Of a
future. But if we loose the flood
gates of criticism and abuse and be-
little the community and its people,
then in time we will descend to a
level which we create for ourselves.
and the world will know US as a
people whom it is we'll to let alone.
Every day we are adding rungs
to the community ladder, but are
they going up-or down.? Speak a

Grand Jury Presentment.

Kingstree. S C. June %, 1915.
To his Honor, Judge T j Mauldin,
presiding:
We, the Grand Jury of Williams
burg county. do hereby beg to hand
you this, our presentment for the
June term of court of general ses-
sions:
We wish to thank your Honor for
the kind and courteous treatmentyou
have extended to US, and for your
kind indulgence and aid in assisting
US in the discharge of our duties.
We wish to report that We have
acted on all matters brought to our
attention by the Solicitor and others,
with the exception of the anonymous
letter presented to US, and this We
will thoroughly investigate. though
we fail to appreciate much merit in
any anonymous communication.
We have passed on twenty-five in
dictments and have found true bills
in all but one. This bill we failed to
find evidence to sustain, after exam
ming each witness provided.
We recommend that the rural po-
lice, magistrates, constables and all
good citizens be urged to report any
and each instance of damaging of
our public highways by plowmen in
turning their plows in the roads.
Great damage to our roads is thus
caused.
Our attention has been called to
the condition of what is known as
Gapway road. That same is in very
bad condition, and our Supervisor is
requested to give it early attention.
We recommend that the County
Commissioners provide for the up
keep of a Ford roadster for the use
of the Supervisor, the Supervisor in
forming US that he will purchase
one of these cars at his own expense
if the county will pay for the up
keep, oil and gasoline. We believe
that this arrangement will enable
him to get over hiswork much more
frequently and will be of great ad-
vantage to the county.
We recommend that Magistrate
Mcdonald be instructed to provide
himself with another constable, to
succeed the present incumbent, it
having come to our knowledge that
the present constable says he would
not report a blind tiger" if he
knew where one vas and that he
does not consider that part of his
duties. For this reason we think it
advisable that the magistrate pro-
vide himself with a constable who
does consider it his duty to report
any and every violation of the laws.
We have appointed a committee
to investigate the county Offices and
report at the fell term of court.
The committee on Jail report that
they have visited the same and find
it in good condition.
We recommend that the Grand
Jury room be provided with a small
table for the use of the foreman be-
fore the next term of court.
We wish to thank the Solicitor for
the able assistance he has given US
in the various matters we have call
ed on him for assistance in.
All of which is respectfully SUBJ
mitted. w H CARR,
