The attack on the channel steamer

the evidence of the United States as
one Of the strongest proofs Of Ger
manys failure to adhere to her
promises.
Unofficial reports from Berlin that
Germany was willing to meet the

that the German government may
make concessions which would pre-

Saws the President.

Washington, April 1.-THE COM

the last word of the United States to
Germany on the submarine issue was
completed today by President Wilson.
1t probably will be dispatched to Ber-
lin tomorrow
The document reviews Germany's
Germany's submarine activities since
the Lusitania was sunk and makes
plain that only an immediate change
In the German policy can make pos
siblc the continuance of friendly re-
lations between the two nations.
AS the president was putting the
finishing touches to the note official
word was received by the state de-
partment that the lives OF two Amer
leans had been endangered by an at
bound from Gu!fport, Miss, for Mar
scillcs, by an Austrian submarine.

Of Children in Attendance and Num-
her and Worth Of the Exhibits.
The Third Annual County School
Fair, held Friday, was pronounced
success in every way. The exhibits
in arts and crafts in the court house
were varied and Of exceptional merit.
The academic contests in the graded
school developed keen rivalry between
the various schools and townships,
bringing out talent of high order.
tests on the school grounds and many
high records were made. The parade
during the morning hour was an at
tractivc feature Of the day, approXi-
matcly 1900 children teachers and
trustees marching in line. Lastly, but
contributing to wcll-rounded day,
was the immense crowd of parents
and relatives interested in the welfare
and advancement of the children. The
day was an ideal one, from the wealth
er standpoint, and the very best was
made of it by the large crowd, both
socially and educationally
Laurens carried off the major por-
ton of the honors in the class room
exhibits, literary contests, athletics
and defamation. o. b. Simmons, Jr.,
Of Laurens, won the highest honor in
the high school oratorical contest and
was awarded the Minter medal. Eu-
gene Richbourg. Of Clinton, came
second in this contest and was award
ed the Association medal. Curtis
league, Of Mountville, received hon
orary mention. The Laurens track
team, Harry McAlister, captain, was
awarded the Fleming cup for the high
est average in the high school ath-
letic cotnests. The prize given annu-
ally by the Henry Laurens chapter,
ID. A. r., to the pupil Of the rural
schools submitting the best original
essay on .Unitcd States history, was
awarded to Miss Lillian Martin, Of
Cross Hill. Alvin Power, of Ora came
second in this contest. All Of these
prizes and awards were made at the
close OF the oratorical contest Friday
evening.
1t was the conccnsus of opinion
that the contests and exhibits in nearly
every department we're OF a higher
order than those Of former years, thus
furnishing good grounds for belief
that the schools are making great
strides in effectiveness. TO single
out any individual exhibit for special
mention would do others OF great
merit an injustice, as there might be
varied opinions OF the relative i'm
portancc Of different lines Of school
endcavor. 1t is sufficient to say how
ever, that the exhibits. without ex-
ccptiOn, were such as any school
might we'll be proud Of and the COM
bincd exhibits reflect great credit up
on the county and its educational fore
es.
The following awards were an
nounccd by the Judges:
School Exhibits, Class Room Work.
Best Exhibit in County:
