PRAYING FOR PEACE

While half the world fights,
the other half prays. The Cath,
olic church and a great many
Protestant churches have made
special provisions for prayers
for peace. Almost the whole of
America is offering supplica-
tiohs.
The Methodist Episcopal
church {north) is the latest to
send out a call. In a statement
just issued Bishop Cranston
urges all Methodism to pray
that ';the rulers and people now
at war may cease to kill and
learn'to love as children of one
Father in Heaven. He requests
unceasing prayer.
''Overlay the land, he says,
with the blessed calm that pray
er alone can bring. We want
not preparedness for war, but
preparedness for God and His
peace for the sheltering Of our
nations. We have a Christian
president, and about him in
council are men who pray. Yet
our united faith also support
their constant appeal to God for
patience and poise and wisdom
amid the storm of conflicting ad.

THE WEEK ON THE FARM.

Now that the 1915 oat crop is
practically made.i it is well that
we take stock of some of the
factors that contributed to it's
success or failure. All reports
indicate that winter. killing has
been unusually heavy, and has
led TO considerable discourage
ment. In the Cotton Belt we
doubt if there has ever been any
valid reason why winter-k killing
of oats should occur, and be-
lieve that two precautions will
largely prevent this loss.

KNOW THE SOIL

"We first want the boy tc
know the value Of the soil, and
to know this he must study how
to make the soil fertile and how
to maintain soil fertility. We
are stressing the necessity of
the boy understanding plant life
and he must know the value of
good seed and their selection.
We are urging the youths of the
State to study improved culture

understand their application.
'As a coordinate adjunct to
the boys corn club work of the
State we are organizing pig
clubs throughout South Carolina
The boy can raise a hog and
feed him with corn, peas and
peanuts grown on his specially
prepared acres. The hog is Sc
lected because it it essential for
the boy to understand something
of animal life, both on and off
the farm; because it is an animal
that can be raised in all sections
of South Carolina and the South
because it is an animal that can
be easily raised at a minimum
cost, and after being raised can
be quickly sold for a good price.
The boys joining the pig clubs
will have to study the animals,
their habits and the methods of
raising, must become conversant
with their different diseases.
and the cures of these diseases,
must make an effort to know the
best feeds for the hog, those
that will produce muscles, tissue
and bone and those producing
fats, and it will be necessary for
him to know these facts in order
that he will understand how to

GERMAN CRUISER IS SUNK

Two Other Warships Damaged by
British Fleet - Seven Hundred
and Sixty Teutons Perish.

London. Jan. 26.-The German arm.
ored cruiser 3luecher, 1880 tons dis.
placement. was sunk and two other
German cruisers were badly damaged
in a naval battle in the North sea, ac-
cording to an official announcement
made by the British admiralty through
the press bureau.
Only 1875 of the Bluecher's crew of
1856 were rescued. The official an
nouncement follows:
Early Sunday morning the British
patrolllng squadron of battle cruisers
and light cruisers under Admiral Da-
vid Beatty and destroyer fiotilla nm.
der Commodore Tyrwhlt sighted four
German battle cruisers, several light
cruisers and a number of destroyers
steering westward and apparently
making for the English coast.
Immediately upon sighting the Brit
ish fleet the enemy made for home at
high speed. They were at once pur.
sued. and about $3.50 a. m. were
brought within range and an action
followed between the British Royal,
New Zealand and Indomitable on the
one side and the German armored
cruiser Bluecher and the battle
cruisers DerfIlinger. Seydiitz and
Moltke on the other.
A weil-contested running fight en-
sued and shortly after one o'clock the
Blueeher. which previously had fallen
out of line, was capsized and sank.
Admiral Beatty reports that two
other German battle cruisers were
seriously damaged, but were able to
continue their fight until they reached
an area where the danger from Ger
man submarines and mines prevented
further pursui by the British.

Mr.. Rockefeller was first asked as to

attorney Generals Action Believed
to Have Removed One Of the
: Greatest Obstacles Between
Slayer and Ere gom.

New York. Jan. 2s-W. T. Jerome,
for nearly nine years known as Harry

on Tuesday from his position of spe-
ctal deputy attorney general Of the
state of New York by Attorney Cen
eral Woodbury., and at once ceased his
fight to have Thaw sent back to Mat
teawan insane asylum
The reasons that actuated Attorney
General Woodbury. are embodied in
the telegram of dismissal which he
sent TO Jerome. The telegram in part
read:

mination Of your efforts for the return

Thus ends the long prosecution Of
Thaw by Jerome. And thus one of the
greatest obstacles between Thaw and
freedom is removed. Thaw's friends
are openly predicting that Thaw's
chances for victory in his coming fight
are now more than bright
Jerome has been connected with the
case since the night the Pittsburgh
millionaire shot and killed Stanford
White. nine years ago next June.
Through both sensational trials,
through three habeas corpus hearings,
and through every recourse TO law. old
and new, Jerome raced with Thaw,
and always barred the gate After 1s
months Of waiting. the unrelenting
Jerome fetched Thaw back TO New
York-the final chapter in the most
remarkable prosecution in criminal
annals.
