Rcv. and Mrs. Norman Have Sailed.


Concord, n. c., July 21.-Editor
Keowee Courier: The article In your
issue Of this week was incorrect in
the statement that Clarence and his
wife would leave on the same vessel
with the two young ladies, Misses
Stribling and Neville. They sailed
from Seattle, Wash, on the Sado
Maru on last Monday. 10th instant.
They doubtless would have enjoyed
the company of the young ladies very
much, especially so since they are
daughters Of two very old friends of
mine.
Clarence was called to the chair of
English in the Kyushu GuaCuin
School at Kumamoto, Japan, by the
General Council. one Of the large
Northern Lutheran bodies. The Uni
ted Synod Of the South owns the
school. but the General Council
maintains the chair of English in it..
1t is on the island of Kyushu, and
Guaquin means high" in plain Eng
lish.
Should any OF their friends wish to
write them, their first address is
"Tokyo. Japan, No. 139 Higashi Kat
amachi Hongo-Ku. care Of Rev.
Frisby ID. Smith,"
| hope the young missionaries will
get in touch with each other, and If
not too widely apart will make an
EFFORT to visit one another during
their terms abroad.
Yours truly, V. l.. Norman.

White Men Shot At.
(Farm and Factory, July go

(Farrl and Factory, July go
Conductor Pittard and Flagman
John Cook were fired upon by un-
known parties on the new grade be-
low town Tuesday afternoon. The
men were sitting on the end of cross
ties when a bullet, presumably from
a long range rifle. passed between
them and within a few inches Of Con-
ductor Pittard's head. The railroad
men kept close lookout in the di-
rection from which the report of the
gun came and within short time af-
ter the first shot another whizzed by
them. They searched the field near
the track thoroughly, but found no
one. 1t was growing dark and the
person who fired the shots got away
without being discovered. Mr.. Pit
tard thinks the shots were fired by
negroes who had a grievance against
other negroes and mistook them for
the enemies.

UnfcrnentNl Grape juice.

Pick grapes from stems and press
out the juice. This can be done more
easily If the grapes. with a little wa
ter. are heated sufficiently to loosen
the hull. If bottled Immediately
sediment will accumulate in the bot
tom Of the vessels This can be
avoided by letting the Juice stand
from IL to 81 hours (not long
enough for fermentation to begin) in
which case the sediment will settle
10 the bottom and the juice can be
drained off. Heat the juice to nearly
boiling temperature (2O0 degrees
FahrenhefD, but do not boil. Strain
through fine cheese cloth and pour
Immediately into bottles that have
been scalded in boiling water. Cork
bottles at once with tightly fitting
corks, pushing the corks a little be-
low the top Of the bottle. Seal with
wax or paraffine. If desired, the
juice may be sweetened to taste.
Fruit jars may also be used for put
ting up grape juice.

bomb Exploded in Chicago Hotel.

Chicago, July 26.--A bomb exulo-

10 the Berlin room Of the Bismarck
Hotel, in the downtown section,

raj ncighboring hotels to the street in

SPEAKS OF RUSSIAN DETACLE.
Senator Borall Sounds Note of Warn-
ing to U. s. Congress.

Washington, July 2G.--The war
situation, particularly with reference
to developments on the Russian
front, was brought into the Senate
debate to-day by Senator Borah dur
ing discussion Of the river and har-
Dor bill He spoke on the need Of
curtailing expenditures because Of
the uncertainty of the immediate fu-
ture.
"Never at time in this struggle
this time" Senator Borah declared.
Russia, to all appearances, is out Of
the conflict because of internal con-
flicts. What does that mean to the
people Of the United States? Could
more serious message come over
our wires and affect the lives Of mil
lions Of our boys, than the fact that
Russia Is breaking down? We should
pray for the success Of Kerensky as
never before.
Millions to Find Graves.
lit means that millions of Ameri-
can boys will find graves on European
battlefields. No more serious condi-
tion could confront us than confronts
the allies now. The situation is here
and the hour OF sacrifice has arrived.
And will the Senate stop and parley
over money going into the improve
ment of creeks?"
In addition to the Russian situa-
ton, Senator Borah declared that the
| submarine question, which some
weeks ago was believed to be favora-
| bic to the allies, has now become
'dstinctly favorable to the Teutonic
powers with reports showing the
number Of sinkings increasing.
Has the time not come when we
realize that we are in this WARP" ask
ed Senator Borah. I'VE should pro-
ceed to legislate upon these measures
as If the enemy were at our very
gates. Does any one suppose that
! the central powers. with Russia CIV
ing in. submarine war growing more
effective, apparently, every day, with
France at the height Of her fighting
powers, would discuss peace except
on Germany's terms?"
| The American people, Mr.. Borah
| declared, should have presented to
them, definitely and specifically, the
terms and conditions on which they
are fighting
| Must Have American Issue.
Give them an American issue to
| fight for and an American issue to die
for" he declared, adding that eff the
Senate realized that this war was an
American war they would not be sit
ting here passing on the .adyisability
of voting millions of dollars for
creeks down which a duck cannot
pass"
Senator Borah disclaimed intimat-
ing that the United States should not
be in the war.
But we can't do anything more
helpful" he said, "than to make it
known that this is an American war,
with American institutions involved.
| Yet II you go before any popular au-
dience they will say it's been treated
so far as a European war"
Referring to, the recent Russian
"no annexation" peace proposal, SEN
ator Borah continued:
THAT met with no response from
any Of the allies. The United States
could have taken no more important
step than to have endorsed that dec
laration. If the United States had
taken bold stand in favor OF peace
Russia would be 100 per cent more
effective to-day as a fighting force.
But the United States waited for
some of the other powers directing
the war to define their position"
