School at Lodge Closes.

Lodge, May 25.-The commence
ment of the Lodge rural graded
school was held last Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday, when the most sue
cessful session in the history of the
school came to a close. On Friday
night the exercises were given by the
primary and intermediate grades and
among the renditions were "Cabbage
Hill School" down East Courtship,' %
crown drill, etc., followed by selec-
tion by quartette and some delight
full piano selections. The audience
was the largest that has ever attend
ed a commencement at Lodge.
On Saturday night another large
audience was present for the gradual
ing exercises, when M. P. Howell,
Esq.,, of Walterboro, delivered the
address to the class. His theme was
Success, Happiness and Salvation" "
and his remarks were great liter
ary treat.
Other interesting features of the
programme were. the class prophecy
by Laurie Fender, class will by Pat
tie Miley, class history by Blanche
Jones, and the valedictory by Vera
Jordan. The message to the gradu-
ating class was delivered by the
youthful, but brilliant and eloquent,
principal, G.. c. Garris. Diplomas
were presented to four graduates.
The commencement sermon Sun
day morning was preached by DR.. w.
w. Daniel, president of Columbia COL
lege, to an audience that more than
filled the Methodist church, many
listening through the windows and
from automobiles. The subject of
DR.. Daniel was appropriate and ably
presented.
On Sunday night the Rev. J. G.
Lawson, the retiring Baptist minis
ter here, preached a fine sermon at
the Methodist church by special in
vitation, a large congregation hear
ing him.

AMERICA IN GERMAN DEBATE.
Deputies in Reichstag Score Berlin
for Suppression of Criticisms.

Berlin, May 25.-The United
States played large role in the CEN
sorship debate in the Reichstag to-
day. Two of the principal speakers,
Deputy Oertel, Conservative, and
Deputy Hirsch, National Liberal, Sc
verely criticised the government for
measures which they alleged were
adopted to suppress criticism of the
United States in the newspapers and
to put brakes on the agitation for a
moro vigorous submarine campaign.
Deputy Oertel, who is editor of the
Deutsche Tages Zeitung, attacked the
authorities vigorously for their at
tempt to suppress the gigantic petit
ton gotten up by Prof. DIETRICH
Schaefer, of Berlin University,
against Germany's yielding to the
demands of the United States. Dep
uty Oertel attacked the, government
for the censorship which had been
exercised over editorial comment on
the American note and for prohibit
ing the republication of an anti
American article written by the Con-
servative leader, Heydebrand.
Foreign Minister Won Jagow, in
reply, declared emphatically that
both the military and political au-
thorities had agreed that negotia-
tons with America must not be i'm
peded by press comment. The min
lister said that temperamental ar
ticle such as that of Heydebrand
would certainly have stirred up pub
lie feeling, and that he, therefore,
accepted full responsibility for it's
suppression.
Deputy Hirsch resumed the floor
after Foreign Minister Won Jagow
had concluded. He reiterated the
complaints made by Deputy Oertel,
and alluding to the possibility OF
American mediation, declared 1t
would be impossible to accept the
good offices of an "ostensible neu-
trail who soiled it's hands with blood
by using it's best efforts to prolong
the war;"
Deputy Hirsch concluded by as
serting that all parties, both of the
Right and Left, are in accord in their
criticism of The political censorship.
He said that the spokesmen of the
Socialist and Conservatist parties
differ in no way in regard to the free
discussion, although they naturally
chose different examples to illustrate
their complaints.

A Company of Washingtons.

This story hasn't missed reunion
for thirty years:
A group of Sherman's men were
camped for week near the cottage
of a widow who owned few acres
of poor land and good cow. She
prospered amazingly during our stay
by selling pies and cakes to the SOL
diers and furnishing the headquar-
ters with milk.
The general issued most stringent
orders against any foraging on her
little property and was decidedly
angry when the widow reported that
she could furnish no milk because the
soldiers had been milking the cow.
He hurried to the company nearest
the widows home and called the cap
tain.
sI don't know anything about it, J."
the captain assured him, "but if my
men have been stealing milk it will
be easy to find it out-my men don't
lie." He summoned his bugler and
ordered him to sound the assembly.
The company fell in and stood at at
tention. The captain addressed them
briefly, telling of the complaint and
ordered any man who had been gull
ty of milking the widows COW to
step to the front.
The company moved forward as
one man, except the first sergeant.
The general was astonished-and
somewhat curious. ''How is it, SER
geant," he asked, THAT when all the
rest have been stealing milk you re-
frained?"
General" replied the soldier, Il
can't milk. I held the cow"
The general turned to the captain
and saluted: Captain, this is the
first company of George Washing
tons I ever saw. Dismiss your COM
pany, sir."-New York Sun.

Executive Committee Meeting.

The Democratic county executive
committee will meet in Bamberg at
the court house next Monday, to
transact such business as may proper
ly be brought before the meeting.
This will be the first meeting of the
new executive committee.
There are various matters to be
acted on by the committee, and every
member is urged to be present. 1t is
probable that the meeting Monday
will decide upon the county cam
paign meetings, fix the assessments
for the candidates, etc. A committee
on enrolment will be appointed.
It will be remembered that under
the new rules of the Democratic par
ty in this State, voters must enroll
for every primary election. The fact
that voter enrolled two years ago
will not entitle him to participate in
the primary this year.

Are You Worn, Weak and Weary

Are You Worn, weak ana weary.
Are you worn, weak and weary,
And in life you find no rest?
Come and find the source of comfort
Lay your head on Jesus's breast.
He is gentle, meek and lowly,
And His love doth full abound,
Though you doubt Him, fear to trust
Him,
b He is the greatest friend you've
found.
Go and see Him while He's waiting,
Other souls their burden to share,
At the gate of mercy standing,
Jesus is ever ready to hear.
Are you worn, weak and weary?
Go to Jesus; He is near,
In the day time, in the night time,
In the quiet hour of prayer,
Go and tell Him of your crosses,
Of the sins you are sore beset,
For the Lord is perfect mercy,
And His word endureth yet.

last night after swallowing a quanti-

health for some time and that while
the other members of the family
were at breakfast, she swallowed the
contents of an ounce bottle of the
poison. Physicians were hurriedly
summoned and rendered every posi-

MANNING AT WARE SHOALS.
The Governor Addresses Large Crowd
and Receives Ovation.

Ware Shoals, May Ex-Governor
Manning spoke here today to one of
the largest crowds ever gathered to-
gether at a picnic in this section Of
the State. 1t was estimated that full
ly three thousand people were pres
ent, representing farmers, mill oper-
atives, educators, professional and
business men, from Laurens, Abbe-
Vile, Greenwood, Anderson and
Greenville counties.
The occasion was the Jones school
picnic. This picnic has been an an
nual event for several years, and the
people from this section of the State
gather here at the closing of this
school for a gala occasion.
After the usual exercises incident
to the closing of the school, the large
gathering was addressed by Col. ].
H. Wharton. Col. Wharton was fol-
lowed by DR.. David M. Ramsay, Of
Greenville. The last address of the
occasion was that of Governor Man.
ming, the guest of honor of the day.
When Governor Manning arose to
speak he was given an ovation. The
large gathering of citizens of the
Piedmont section of the State listen
ed intently to a speech that did not
refer to politics in any way.
The governor began his speech by
expressing his appreciation of the
cordial reception and complimented
the crowd on the marked improve
ment in education in South Carolina,
saying, 81 hope that the time is not
far distant when we will have we'll
equipped school house on every hill
side, and the facilities are provided
for the education of every white
child.~,'
This statement was we'll received.
The governor referred to the advan-
tage of the night schools in provid-
ing education for those who, by rea-
son of their inability to attend school
during working hours, might secure
the educational advantages to which
they are entitled.
81 am deeply interested in the ed
ucation of the children of our rural
and mill communities" said Cover
nor Manning. my heart is in this
work, and shall continue to fight
for these children 50 long as am
given power and strength to- do SO"
he continued.
The governor was in fine form to-
day, and his speech was full of snap
and vigor. It is evident that when
the campaign opens in June Cover
nor Manning will be amply prepared
to take care of himself. -
The crowd was certainly a Man
ming crowd. The governor was CIV
en- quite an ovation when he finished
his speech, and for a good while was
kept busy shaking hands with the
people and hearing their words OF
endorsement of the stand that he
has taken and the fight that he is
making. The crowd was represen-
tative one, and was from all sections
Of the Piedmont. Il was stated on
all sides here today that Governor
Manning is much stronger in the
Piedmont than ever before. After
most sumptuous dinner the crowd
was treated to a splendid exhibition
of baseball. The governor left on
the afternoon train for Columbia, al
ter expressing himself as delighted
with the reception accorded him by

of salad course, followed by a
sweet course and mints, were served
by twelve young girls, friends of the
family, daintily attired in white and
pink. Cards engraved in silver, bear
ing the dates of the two weddings
and the name of the bride and groom,
were distributed as souvenirs. Miss
Ruth Anderson, as the guests arrived,
registered their names in a silver
bound book, while the little girls
checked the hats.

generous hospitality, closed with
many expressions Of appreciation
from the guests and the wish that as
