1t was Lowell who said Each
day the world is born anew for him
who takes it rightly"-and so
thoughtfully may each of us apply
to ourselves, never Lifting time
come for us to think life burden,
especially when blessed with good
health and strength. A mind invest
ed with elf-consciousness, self-de-
termination and self action are ca
pable of amazing achievements and
again say we never know what we
can do till we have tried. With
these thoughts in our minds we are
determined to let you hear some
thing from the outcome of Teach

was sick last week and / won.
dered why my thoughts were so
sweet all the while and too sick to
sit up for eight or nine days but
could one be otherwise with kind
attentions at home and loving
thoughtfulness of every one. Really
sickness is not without silver rays
made thus by good neighbors who
come in with sweet, cheerful faces,
the index of their lives and too,
again helping by refreshments and
dainties so tastily prepared helps
make the sick get we'll and how it
makes us feel each day the world is
born anew.
Mrs Joseph Ramsey, nee Wates,
of Florence was warmly greeted by
her friends last week. 1t was so
sweet to see the affection of her
school children towards her. Know
ing her nature as I do it made her
feel deeper interested than ever in
Flat Rock pupils, meaning much
more than can be imagined when
she told our present teacher, Miss
McAfee, You have a school of
seachildren." ...,...,..sz
Cur school opened last Monday
with thirty-odd pupils. The entire
enrolment will be about forty-six.
And for one teacher to be expected
to do justice to that number is abb
surd, impossible, so now good peo-
Pile of Flat Rock get busy and get
assistance. The children are all de-
lighted with and love Miss McAfee
and we feel quite sure she is the
right teacher for US. But we know
she does need help and want her to
have it. She is entitled to 1t in JUS
tice to ourselves.
Our farmers have new thoughts
coming since hearing the boil wee
vii at Modoc. Mr.. Charlie Stone
sent specimen to Clemson college
which was pronounced the weevil.
We should look with interest for
what Gov. Manning may instruct
for our state.
We hear of a number sowing
larger than usual Of wheat. oats
and rye. We think the gardens are
receiving renewed and unusual inter
est at this season of the year and
let us keep cool, don't get scared.
People are not capable of handling
anything intelligently, and times
are worse with the whole world we
may say in an upheaval, which calls
forintelligent, steady nerves. 1fworse
seems to face us let's live one day
at time and that day the very best
we can, knowing that He who is for
US is mightier than they who are

GERMANY KEEPS
STRICT SILENCE
The Situation in Berlin Is Said to Be
Extremely Grave-Sentiment Against
ANY Weakening of Position.

Berlin, April 81, via London, April o.
Nothing has yet developed as a result of
the receipt here of the American note to
Germany concerning Germany's subma-
rine warfare. No expression of opinion
| is obtainable from the foreign office,
where absolute reticence is maintained.
As far as The Associated Press has
been made acquainted with the sentiment
in higher quarters, it would be wrong to
regard the situation as anything but ex-
tremely grave. The note probably will
be answered some time next week, after
serious consideration has been given the
American contention, but there is little
idea that any answer can go to the
length demanded by the Washington gov
ernment, despite the fact that the gov
ernment desires to maintain good rela-
tions with the United States. The senti-
ment is against any further weakening of
Germany's submarine campaign, to say
nothing of an abandonment of it.
Neither the note or any reference to it
has been published in Germany, and there
is no intimation as yet when the note
will be made public The celebrations of
holy week and of the Eastertide there
fore are proceeding undisturbed by any
knowledge of foreign complications.
The ministers and other officials who
were entitled to it received copy of the
note this morning and were engaged dur
ing the day in studying the document.

4-INCH WATER MAIN
WAS DISCOVERED
One Of the Searching Party
Had Been Quoted as Say
ing That a Body Was Un-
covered-Faurot Declares
Convict's Story Was "Ab-
solutely False"

New York, April 22.-The body OF
Dorothy Arnold was not found in The
cellar of the house at West Point, whert
New York detectives searched yester-
day. Police Inspector Faurot, who was
in charge of the investigation, announced
to-day that there was no truth in the
published stories that Miss Arnold's body
had been found.
Inspector Faurot expressed the opinion
that there was nothing to the story told
by Octave Charles Glennoris, convict
in the Rhode Island prison, that he
aided in the burial OF young woman
resembling the missing Dorothy Arnold
in a West Point cellar
One of the detectives who had con-
Quoted the search had been quoted as
saying that a body, possibly that of the
Arnold girl, was found under the cement
flooring of an isolated house two miles
south of West Point. but Inspector Fau
rot said: "All we found was an old
four-inc water main. The story of
Glennoris is absolutely false" Inspector
Faurot said he thought the man told
the story in the hope OF obtaining a
parole.
Dorothy Arnold was. the daughter of .
wealthy New York importer and she
disappeared in 1910.

GERARD DELIVERS MESSAGE.
Reply May Be DELAYED to Middle of Next
Week,

Washington, D. G., Apil 22.Ambassa.
dor Gerard at Berlin eabled the state
department yesterday that he had de-
| livered the American note on submarine
warfare to the German foreign office at
4;30 o'clock Thursday. Secretary Lans-
ing said later he had not been advised
just when reply might be forthcom-
ing. Other officials, however, indicated
that they expected it by the middle OF

Ambassador Gerard is known to have
entered into a brief conversation with
Foreign Minister Won Jagow, after de-

eral messages have been received from
Ambassador Gerard DUNG the past day
or two. Ii was stated authoritatively,
however, that they transmitted only ex-
pressions of editorial opinion from Ger
man newspapers. These editorial ex-
cerpts were closely examined by officials
in an attempt to gain some understand
ing of the state of German public op
inion.
Dispatches from the ambassador are
looked for momentarily to give definite
regarding the views of Ger
man officials, the manner in which the
note was received and forecasts of the
action which will be taken by the Ger
man government in response to the de-
mand of the United States that it de-
clare and effect an abandonment of the
present submarine warfare.
The German embassy is sending many
dispatches to Berlin. The
majority of these so far have contained |
of public and official
opinion, and the ambassadors own views |
