HELD AS GERMAN SPY
DIR. X. V. Millard of Sumter Has
Rough Reception in Lamar.

DR.. K. Y. Millard Of this city met
with rough reception in Lamar
on Sunday, where he was arrested and
locked up as German spy and de-
tanned in the lookup for four or
five hours. A message was finally
sent from that place to DR.. r. S.
Truesdale, pastor of Trinity Metho-
dist church here, who tclcgraphcd
back that Millard was not a German
spy, nor in any sense German.
According to DR.. Millard's state
ment, he went to Lamar Sunday
morning, where he spoke in the Bap-
tist church, delivering a lecture on
some subject connected with archac-
ology. After the lecture, which does
not seem to have made very favor
able impression, the speaker was not
invited to dinner by any of his con-
gregation, SO he went to the railroad
station, where he took Il seat to wait
for train to come to take him back
to Sumter. While here several men
came up and speaking insultingly to
him, accused him Of being German
spy, which Of course, h. denied.
Thehy caught hi mand carried him to
the lookup, where he was held until
the message was received from Dr.
Trucsdalc, whom Prof, Millard had
given as a reference, as man who
could testify to his harmless charac-
ter.
While he was locked up, DR.. Mil
lard says a big rain came up, and
practically all of the people of La
mar got wet coming out to the Jail to
get look at him, supposed Ger
man spy. Some of them went so far
as to make threats and apply cpithcts
to him and the doctor believes that
he was saved from probable severe
treatment by DR.. Trucsdalc's timely

Hope and Faith.

Hope is the boy. a blind. headlong,
pleasant fellow good to chase swal-
lows with salt; Faith is the grave, ex-
perienced yet smiling man. Hope lives
on ignorance; open eyed Faith is built
upon a knowledge of our life, of the
tyranny of circumstance and the fail
ure Of human resolution. Hope looks
for unqualified success, but Faith
counts certainly on failure and takes
honorable defeat to be a form Of VIC
tory. Hope is kind old pagan, but
Faith grew up in Christian days and
early learned humanity. In the one
temper man is indignant that he can
not spring up in clap to heights Of
elegance and virtue; In the other, out
of a sense of his infirmities he is filed
with confidence because year has
come and gone and he has still pre-
served some ray Of honor. - Robert
Louis Stevenson.

Joshua of "the stratagem whereby Al

light a flank attack was made with
Overwhelming success by the warriors

heroes when the Persians at Thermop-

1t was by mastery maneuver near

the Roman forces across the river Ire
