An Apology

Ridgeland, S. c. January Is.
Dear Mr.. Editor-We regret
very much that we failed to see
SO many of our good friends at
Pageland during the holidays.
We were there for a part of one
day only. Excuse us now and
we will make good when we
leave our work for the regular
summer vacation.
Everything is going lovely in
our work these days. We rails
ed $41.16 on State Mission debt
and the w. M. S. will give $500,
being a total of $45.l6 for our
three churches.
Last Sunday was the best
since our coming on the field
Sunday school ll2 in attendance,
and at the close of the morning
service it was decided to launch
a campaign to raise $4,000 for
Missions 10 be raised in the next
80 days. $57o 30 was subscribed
before we left the church.
DR.. Watts will be with us
first Sunday in February, 5 will
receive diplomas in our Teacher
Training Glass.
Much love to all.

Jail Delivery Fails at BENEFITS
vile

Bennettsville, Jan. 25.-A we'll
planned jail delivery was discov-
cred here last night by Jailer
Hubbard in time to prevent the
escape of the IL prisoners in
Jail.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr..
Hubbard detected the sound of
what he thought was the saving
of the prison bars. He made his
way to the room from VIII ich the
sound seemed to come, by the
stairs leading to the cells above,
and then crawled to the top of
the stairs. There he saw what
was going on, and watched the
negroes for a short time, War
rem Stubs, a negro, charged
with houSebreaking and larceny,
had been left in the run around"
to keep up the fire and he was
working with hacksaw on the
bars on the outer window. Al
len Beatty, a negro, charged
with larceny, was cn the inside
of the vaults at work with an
other hacksaw. Two bars were
cut at both places.
Sheriff Patterson was called,
and a search revealed a two
foot crowbar, a hacksaw and
several hacksaw blades. The
negroes implicate outsiders and
say that the tools we're secured
by means of a string let down
from the inside.
Other arrests will be made in
connection with the effort es-
cape.

American Heroes Abroad

When the history of the Great
War is written, .ape of its bright
est. pages w1l1 lei l4e lily OF
the American Ambulance in
France. Quite without any re-
muneratlon except the satIsfaC-
ton of work we'll done in the
cause of humanity, two or three
hundred young American men
have been risking their lives in
the rescue of wounded soldiers.
One of these young men, Mr..
Howard Hare Powell, of New
port, r. l., writes IN Harper's Ba-
Ear for February: when the
impulse first gripped me to come
over here, / had been led to ex-
pect that l would fetch up in a
crew of swashbuckling. devil
may-care adventures. Instead,
| found men l had known at
school and college. and lot of
other young Americans like
those one meets everywhere"
Young Mr.. Powell has for the
past year been attached to Sec
ton Two of the American Am
bulance. with headquarters at
the bloodiest spot in the world
-Verdun. Day after day last
wear the tide Of battle flowed
back and forth; a hundred bat
ties as desperate and bloody as
Waterloo or Gettysburg were
fought at Verdun last summer.
And every night, the young
American drivers of ambulances
came up to the trenches under
fire to save the wounded sold
iers. Several of these Ameri.
cans have lost their lives; others
have received, tor valor, the
highest decorations that the
French Government can beStow.

about old fashioned heroism, we
strongly recommend this import
