a dicker that has resulted in trade.
Mr.. McLaurin gave up fine horse
and tree mules for Mr.. James mare.
Tie James horse, now owned by Nj
McLaurin, is held by many good
judges, to be one Of the finest speci-
mems of superior norse-flesh in the
State. So far as is known, Mr..
James has never put a price on the
animal but others have named fig
ures all the way up to $1,000. The
last cash offer was $500, which was
laughed at. Mr.. McLaurin, who
keeps his automobile Cor business
and horses for pleasure, says he
prizes the new horse very mucn
more flighly than the handsome Hud-
son touring car in which he made his
recent trip to York county.

Unfair to Bryan.
(Springfield Republican,


It is rather unfair to taunt Secre-
tary Bryan with having been ignored
by the president in writing the Lusi-
tania note to Germany. The presi-
dent wrote the note himself for the
same reason that Abraham Lincoln
wrote the emancipation proclamation
and Mr.. Cleveland wrote the Vene-
zuelan message, and President Har-
rison wrote the note to Chile demand
inA an apology for the attack on
American sailors in Valparaiso, and
President Roosevelt wrote half doz-
en- papers OF Importance on variety
of subjects. Neither join Hay nor
ElI3u Root guided Mr.. Roosevelt in
his Panama canal zone policy. When
Mr.. Cleveland hauled down the flag in
Hawaii, he justified the act himself:
and that was proper since he had to
bear the roasting the jingoes gaTe to
his administration. In the great acts
of his foreign policy, a president is
the one person responsible to tae
country and he is always privileged
and justified in making the act thor
ougnly his own. All secretaries OF
state understand it.

Messrs. Wright and Davis of the New
berry Cotton Mills.

Mrs. Ethel Thomas, in Mill News.
There are none better. They are
so far-famed they need no introduc-
ton. Mr.. Zach Wright, the big-heart-
ed president proclaims verbally and
by example that he considers lis peo-
pie worthy of his personal friendship,
and the social equals of the best. He
has demanded that his people be
recognized and respected; this man
of wealth and influence has made it
plain that to sneer at one Of mis-
operatives. is the same as sneering at
him, and he resents it as quickly. In
short, his loyal persistency has force
ed the blind to see and realize the
fact that mill work is not degrading.
And during these years, Mr.. Wright
mas put forth every effort toward inn
proving conditions of the people and
their surroundings and has been ably
assisted by J. NJ Davis, mis- we'll
known and greatly respected superin-
tenden4. Almost every. one knows

The Rest of AL

SeIecteo.
Some one has said that through all
her life time, she only does one un-
kind thing, and tat is when she dies
and leaves us. Mans work is, from
sun to sun, but woman's work is
never done, for when anything is
lost, it's Mot2er; when button pops
off it's Mother; when sickness comes,
it's mother; wen heart is broken,
it's Mother.
Patient, loving, tired, as the days
go on, giving her life for those near
and dear to her Sacrificing life
itself with never a murmur. Sc
holds her little one close to her great
heart, she watches him grow to man
hood; there comes the breaking OF
home ties, and she feels her great
bog slipping from her arms to an

the call of war. She tries hard tat
he shall not see tie tears. He came
from her rery soul; she lets aim go,
and so through the years she gives
up, she makes t at the world may
have. and asks only love in return
No lines were ever written which
paid just tribute to her. No boy
ever paid in love and 62oughtfulness
the debt he owes her. and sooner OF
later ne looks into that quiet face
which for the first time seems to
look past him into the eternal, a lily
on her breast, and yearning comes
into his very soul, and if he could only
have her back for a little while he
would let her know how much she
meant to him.
Some one has beautifully paint
ed fer picture. You will recognize
it.
She is little and old and worn; her
form is stopped and bent. She
wears plain black dress gathered
at the waist, and white square
across her shoulders, pinned in front
with a large, old-fasaioned brooch.
Her white hair is parted exactly in
the center. 4smoothed back, rolled in
q. a, small, knot and fastened with a
tuck comb. Her hands are gnarled
and twisted by many years of toll;
cares and. -seFrow have scanned and
scared her face with many wrinkles.
Her voice is low and sweet and her
smile benediction. Sometimes she
folds ner hands on her lap and mas a
far-away Hook in her eyes; she is
thinking other loved ones in heaven,
She has stalwart sons and comely
daughters, whom she insists on call
ing "her babies" and for whom she
daily and earnestly prays that they
may be kept from the worlds evil.
Little children run to her to be pet
ted and comforted, clasp ner knees
and look up into her face to share
her smile. She is ope. of Gods
saints on earth "of whom the world
is not worthy" Do you recognize
the picture? She is the most beau

London, May 1s.-An important espi-
onage trial. which may have an inter-
national bearing began here today
when Anton Kuepferle, who claims to
be a citizen of the United States. was
placed on trial in Old Bailey. charged
with communicating or attempting to
communicate naval and military Sc

Charges Of espionage were lodged against

Muller and Herr Hahn on or about Feb

Kuepferle entered plea of not guilty.
Baron Reading. the lord chief justice of
England. occupied the bench supported
by two high court justices. There was a
great array Of counsel. the attorney-in-
chief for the government being Sir John
Simon. the attorney general.
His Fate with Jury.
At the outset the court ruled that all
special questions as to whether any act
had been done by Kuepferle to assist the
enemies Of England would be left to the
jury
The Kuepferle- Hahn-Muller trials are
the most important espionage cases since
the trial of Karl Lody. who was exc
cuted in the Tower of London on Novem-
Der last.
In his address to the court. the attor-
ney general set forth clearly the fact that
Kuepferle claimed to be an American
citizen and then added:
THE jury may have reason to disre-
gard that claim. The crowns allegation
is that Kuepferle is an American. In a
letter which Kuepferle wrote in the ex-
pectation that 1t would go to a neutral

LILLE FORTS ARE REBUILT

On the Belgian-Dutch Frontier, May Is.
Already the Germans have abandoned
the precarious hold on the western bank
of the User Canal between Dixmude and
Boesinghe. They have been driven by
the French and Belgians from their first
line of trenches beyond the eastern bank
This information, received today, points
to the contemplation by the enemy of an
early withdrawal to his second line of
defense.
The new line appears to run from the
coast to Courtrai and then bend to the
southwest. So as to form a salient around
Lille, which will be employed as a point
d'appui. The apex of the triangle is
Lille. with Courtrai and Journal as its
other points. Practically the whole of
this triangular area is being turned into

There is every indication, however, that
before the Germans are compelled to fall

Menace to Invaders.
The Germans are seriously alarmed as
to their position along the whole line
from Armentieres to Arras because of
the strategical advantages the advance
of the French further to the south has
brought to the allies.
This has resulted in a serious danger
to the German position at Lens. The
French now dominate most of the heights
in this district and unless they fall back
