Long Branch, n. j., Oct. 9.-Secre-
tary Lansing, it was announced to-
night, will come here tomorrow for
conference with President Wilson con-
corning German submarine raids off
the American coast Mr. Lansing is
expected to remain overnight at the
presidents summer residence.
The announcement that the secre-
tary of state would confer with the
president confirmed the impression
gained here earlier in the day that
the American government considered
the attacks on vessels off the Ameri-
Gsa coast by German submarines as
fraught with grave possibilities. At
the same time it was made clear that
nothing in the reports so far re-
ceived show that international law
or earlier promises Of Germany have
been violated Concern over the sit
uation centered chiefly about the pos
sibility of what might happen if the
submarine attacks are continued.
The position of the American gov
ernment and it's determination to
make a full investigation before act
ing were made clear in the following
statement given out by the presi
dent:

STATE IN THREE YEARS

Columbia, S. C.. Oct 10.-That the
boil weevil will reach South Carolina
next year and that the state will be
over-run by it within the next three
years, is the substance of a statement

Manning, who has returned from a
trip through Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana, as member Of the South
Carolina commission which went to
investigate the weevil situation. The
commission will prepare a staten

ernor's message to the general as
sembly, it is stated. That the coming
of the boil weevil will result in wide
spread changes in economic conditions
and in methods and products of agri-
culture, is certainty, according to
Governor Manning.
Right now, before we are affected
by the pest, We should begin to pre-
pare" said the governor. Economy
cutting down the expenses, diversifi-
cation of next years crop should be
the program of every farmer in the
state' He is quoted as saying.
His prediction as to the tiIne when
the boil weevil will reach South Caro-
lima, is stated to be made confidently,
after careful survey of the situation

BACKACHE IS DIsCOURAGING

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys. Newberry people recommend
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read this case:

Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
There were about twelve mothers
present and one father, Mr. Arthur

There were other matters of spec
ial interest brought up and discussed,
among them the necessity of having
a new teacher for the school on &C
count Of the crowded condition Of
the first three grades. These grades
have only two teachers and as each
grade has large enrolment the as
sociation decided to ask the board to
give the school another teacher as
soon as it could possibly do so. The
treasurer then made her report and
explained many Improvements that
had been brought about with a little
money especially on the grounds.
Another visitor whom the associa-
ton was glad to have with them was
Mrs. J. P. Kinard. She presented the
plan of an entertainment which the
two schools hope. to give jointly in
the near future. Watch the papers

Surprise 70 Him.
The ambassador remained with the
| president only 15 minutes and Was
smiling when he left. He declared
| he was as much surprised as anybody
when the news of the sinking of the
first British ship reached him.
1t is understood that the talk be-
tween the president and the ambas-
sador was entirely friendly, but that
the president informed the ambassa-
dor Of his determination to act firmly
if the rights of the United States are
infringed.
The president had seriously consid-
cred going to Brooklyn tomorrow to
attend the third worlds series base
ball game but decided to remain here
and keep in touch with the submarine
situation.
Before seeing Secretary Lansing the
president will confer with Jules JUS
senand, the French ambassador, who
is coming to Shadow Lawn to bring
personal letter from President Poin-
care to President Wilson on Polish
relief.
To Raise New Point.
1t is considered probable that during
the conference the French ambassa-
dor may lay before the president the
view of the entente governments that
German submarines should not be al
lowed to come into American ports.
This point probably will be taken up
by the president with Secretary Lam
sing tomorrow night
During the day the executive Offices
here were in communication with
Secretary Daniels and received pre-
liminary reports assembled by the
navy department on the submarine ac-
.iyities off the American coast.
The general trend Of these reports
vas to the effect that, so far as has
oeen determined, the rules Of interna-
ional law lad been complied with by
German. It was made clear, how
.7er, that these reports were of pre-
iminary character, and were not con-
,lusive. Secretary Daniels was in
tructed to keep the president fully
of all developments. t
Count ven Bernstorh said he plan t
ed to return to Washington tonight
r tomorrow going by way Of New i
,ork. 1t was stated by officials here t
hat the SUBJECT of peace was not men s
ioned at his conference with the t
resident. {

AMERICA MAKING
NO PEACE MOVE
Washington Officials Think Action at
Present Would Have Bad
Effect.

Washington, Oct. 5.-No new steps
te end the European war have been
taken by the United States, and so
far as officials here can foresee, none
is likely to be taken in the near fu-
ture, according to an authoritative
statement of the Governments posi-
ton, obtained today in high official
circles.
While no official processes to know
what is in President Wilson's mind,
it was declared that no preparation
had been made for discussion of peace
through the usual diplomatic chan
nels and that all the information gath
cred here seemed to indicate that sucn
a move would be both useless and
inadvisable.
1t WIS pointed out, however. that in
a matter Of this nature the President
usually keeps his own counsel and
might be Influenced by indications of
which the officials here are in ignor-
ance.
Nothing New Done
Regarding the many rumors that
the United States already had made
mediatory advances of the belliger-
ents during recent months, it was de-
clared authoritatively that mediation
had neither been offered by the gov
ernment nor suggested to it from
abroad. 1t was fatty stated that no
new peace overtures at all had been
made to any of the belligerent gov
ernments, and that no belligerent gov
ernment had indicated that such over
lures would be welcomed.
The United States, it was explained,
stands exactly where it has stood ever
since President Wilson, at the out
break of the war made an open offer
tt use the good officers of the country
whenever requested. Since that an
nouncement, it was declared, there
has been no changes so far as the
American government is concerned.
TnOOnOrfUne Now.
While declining to be quoted direct
ly on so delicate matter, officials
here are understood to be thoroughly
convinced that any peace move at this
time would be resented as unneutral
and might impair the government
standing as a mediator when the time
for action comes. In support Of this
belief, attention is called to the for
NAL decision of Switzerland, Norway
Sweden and Denmark not to offer me-
diation now, the informal recision OF
Spain and the Vatican to the same eff
feet, the warning against such al,
tempts sounded recently by David
Lloyd George. the British war minis
ter, the Swedish premier's declaration
yesterday that peace proposals by neu-
trails would be f..4i'e. and other utter

Count Won Bernstorff, the German

son the new activities of German sub

president made it clear that while |
the American government had no in |
tention of interfering with the legiti-
mate activities of submarines, it |
would insist on the strict observance
OF the pledges given previously by
the German government. The ambas-
sador, while expressing an entire lack

WEEDS GROWING M ORCHARD
Noxious Plants Allowed to Utilize Much of Moisture-Dry Spells
 Evaporated Remainder.

(By C.. ". RAPP. Department Of Horti-
 culture, Oklahoma A. and M. College,
 Sullwater.)
 During past years dry seasons have spelled disaster for many of the fruit growers of the state. Due to careless methods of farming, the orchards were allowed to grow up in weeds. These utilized much of the moisture and the long. dry spells evaporated most of the rest. Fruit either dried up or fell or was too small and bitter for any prac- tical use. In many cases the trees died.
 The neglect during the one dry year caused the loss of orchards that had been built up during many years. Thorough orchard cultivation is the only successful method of combating the effects of a dry spell. Good and thorough tillage will keep down all weeds and will form a good dust mulch, which will largely prevent evaporation.
The Pulaskian., 1916-09-29
AMONG THE FLOWERS

Cut flowers of annuaIs that seed freely and prolong the season of bloom. If allowed to mature seeds, they cease to bloom.
 Don't neglect the potted plants; wa ter well, and shade from the after noon sunshine.
 When shade is recommended, dark ness or dense shade are not meant. All plants require good light.
 Many plants will bear strong sky light that would be badly damaged if set in strong sunshine.
 For potted plants that must have sunshine, set the pots in 9 jardiniere, or set in box with packing Of moss around them to encourage moisture.
 Root geraninm slips now. if you want winter bloomers. Keep growing thriftily, pinching off all buds until late September.
 To root hardwood, shrubbery plants cut just below the joint, as all slips send out roots from the joint, whether soft or hardwood.
 Do not make the mistake of roofing for winter boomers plants that bloom only in the summer. Some geranium bloom more freely than others.
 Evaporation is rapid if showers art few, the plaats will become stuntec from thirst; if too much rain, weedi must not be allowed to choke ths plants.
 All shrubby pot plants should be ser in a sheltered place, out of doors, with good light, but some shade during tht hot season, where strong winds cannot rack them.
 Prune older, weaker branches from shrubs and roses that are done bloom ] ing, and mulch roots. 1 Cut and pile sod for pot compost later.
 Weather seldom affects weeds ad. versely.
 Heavy shade is often worse than strong sunlight.
 Sow seeds for basket plants and win. dow garden now.
 Prune out the branches of the dahlia to promote development of flowers water well and tie to stakes.
