Trouble Makers Busy.

There are some citizens of this
country who are trying to effect IN
the United States an organization
which is called by the 'Fatherland, ,,
a weekly magazine printed in the
city of New York, the German
American element" and those whose
sympathy in the present war abroad
lies with Austria-Hungary.
In the article in which this pro-
posed organization is debated, which
was printed in the issue of the maga-
zine dated January 81, last, it is said
that the nucleus of it is the Ger
man-American Alliance of Phila-
delphia, which is declared to have
membership of 100000 and that
the purpose in view by those who
would effect the greater organiza-
ton is Ito assert and maintain our
dignity as citizens of the United
States, to break the power of Eng
land upon our government; to secure
the election to public office of those
who are in sympathy with us in
compelling the administration to en-
force strict neutrality and among
other things, to stop the shipment OF
arms from his country to any of the
belligerents abroad.
1t is to be hoped that the Ger
mans, the Austrians and the Hunga-
rians in this country, the vast ma

to be, and undoubtedly are, peace

More Effects of the War.

Germany, under the claw Of neces-
sity," is rapidly passing from a pc
troleum-using country to one in
which lighting has to be done
through the agency of coal-produced
gas and power. Germany's petro-
leum demand, says a Berlin weekly
publication, is approximately 4,60O,-
900 barrels year OF 40 gallons each.
Of this 1,796,000 barrels come
from the United States in the first
half of 1914 and about 100000 bar
rels from Austria-Hungary and Rou-
mania. None of these sources can
now be relied upon. The German
American Petroleum company has not
only advanced it's prices but cut
down the usual demand to half the
earlier portions. That has forced re-
course for Illuminating purposes to
gas and electric lighting. These are
rapidly replacing the use of petro-
leum. Coal is plentiful, and it is
said that petroleum has permanent
ly lost one of its best markets, prob
ably never to be regained.-Wall

Missionary Items.

Some one has said: you have to
keep running just as hard as you
can to stay where you are" Stand
ing still would mean slipping back.
We must move forward, and rapidly,
in order to keep pace with our own
work and with the great movements
of the time. We must keep running
if we take our wonderful opportuni-
ty and share in the great movement
of evangelizing the world. We are
face to face with our tack, we must
do the work, we must make good.
We would urge that our church be-
come a missionary society and that
every woman become member.
The thought that leads to no action
is not thought, it is dreaming; and
if our church is to be missionary
society, we must get down to the
task. We cannot do personal work,
we must do the things that Jesus
did. Let US be not only fervent in
spirit, but diligent in business. May
we during the new year go forward
forward to the world conquest. for
ward in service, forward in faith,
forward in gifts for the work, for
ward in love!

Wesley Bible Glass.

Last Sunday morning at the Meth
odist church mems Bible class was
formed. In response to the an
nouncement of Rev. E. o. Watson a
fairly good number met at the
church at ten o'clock last Sunday
morning, and plans for Wesley
Bible class were formed. Commit
tees were appointed to nominate Of
ficers and a teacher, and the next
meeting will be held next Sunday
morning at the church. Every man
who is not now connected with a
Bible class is earnestly and cordially
invited to attend and join the class.
These classes have been organized
in numbers of towns, and great
work has been done. Study of the
Bible is the most interesting. even
if one is not very religious, and time
spent in such study is we'll spent.

Clients Branch to Be Bridged.

Supervisor L. P. Mcmillan inform
ed US last week that he purposed to
bridge Clients branch in short
time. He was not familiar with this
crossing, but seeing the articles in
this newspaper in reference to>it, he
went up there and examined it, wise
ly deciding at once that it should
be bridged at once. He states that
the wonder is it was not bridged long
ago. He hopes to reach that point
with the county chain gang in the
next two weeks. The gang is now at
work on the road near Salem church,
in the Govan section, and it will work
on up by Hightower's mill to Den
mark and at that point will start on
the road to Ghents branch and when
the stream is reached the bridge will
be built. This road will also be
worked up to the county line, and
when all this work is done that will
be a frst-class highway. In fact the
road bed is good, but it has not been
worked in some time.
Mr.. Mcmillan now has a floating
gang which goes over the county re-
pairing bridges and fixing very bad
places in the roads, as he finds this
much cheaper than having the work
done by private parties. 1t seems to
be the idea of some who do work on
the roads that the county has plenty
of money and they charge too much
for their work, so Mr.. Mcmillan
evolved the idea of this floating gang
in order that very necessary repairs
can be made without so much ex-
pense. Recently this gang has done
some much-needed work on the Can
mons bridge road. and it will soon
be sent to the road from Denmark to
Lees. as there are a few bad places
on that road which need work badly.
1t is Mr.. McAlillan's idea to cover
the county just as rapidly as possible
and fix the worst places first, as the
roads have been so badly cut up by
the very bad weather of the past
three months. 1t is hoped he will
have the Bamberg-Denmark road
scraped right away, or as soon as the
weather will permit, as this is the
most important highway in the coun-
ty. and is used more than any other
