The attention of all the members
is called to the combined service plan
being used by this church. The Bible
School begins at 9:15 and the service
continues up to 1870. Those who
feel as if they cannot stay throughout
the service can leave following the
period of lesson study but all are
urged to remain. BY little effort on
the part of those who come for the
sermon and communion service only,
they could be receiving the benefit of
the lesson taught in the classes. We
have been having most encouraging

HOPE TO AVOID EXTRA SESSION
MOUNTS HIGH

Washington, March with Re-
publican leaders joining the Demo-
Gratis in suppressing dilatory tactics,
and hope high for avoiding an extra
session of Congress, the Senate ad-
journed near midnight tonight under
an agreement to vote finally on the
$50O,000,OOO naval bill at o'clock to-
morrow afternoon.
The agreement was formally ratified
after Senator LaFollette, on whose
attitude hinges the possibility to clear
legislative congestion before March A.,
was induced by other Republicans to
give his approval.
The Wisconsin Senator would not
consent to an agreement to have the
armed neutrality bill, passed tonight
by the House, taken up tomorrow be-
fore the vote on the naval bill. The
plan now is to take up the armed neu-
trality bill late tomorrow and pass it
before adjournment.
Representative Bennett, of New
York, read to the House today no.
! tice sent to all House Democrats by
the Democratic whip announcing that
ut is likely there will be an extra
session of the Sixty-fifth Congress
called for March 6" and advising all
Democrats to be ready for it.
On the other hand, President Wilson
told inquirers today that he had no
intention of calling a special session
Of Congress.
The following is the call to the
Democratic members which Mr.. Ben
nett, Republican, announced had
gone to all Democrats:
February 2S, 1917.
Dear Congressman:
There is likely to be an extra SEES
sion of the Sixty-fifth Congress called
for March 6; if so, it is very important
that you be ready at moments no.
tice and be on hand at the opening OF
the session. This is really important.

the situation in Congress, and that
the Republicans already had informal,

to similarly be ready for an extra ses-
sion.
Speaker Clark said that in his judg-
ment an extra session was very prob

made an amazing change in its prog.
ress of work he could see nothing else
but an extra session. He added, how.

CHINA THREATENS TO SEVER
RELATIONS WITH GERMANY

Peking, Feb. 9.-(Delayed.) THE
note handed to the German minister
by the minister of foreign affairs in
reply to Germany's declaration of the
resumption of unrestricted subma-
cine warfare was made public today
The text of the note follows:
"The new measures of submarine
warfare inaugurated oy Germany are
imperilling the lives and property of
Chinese citizens even more than the
measures previously taken, which
have already cost China many lives
and constitute a violation of interna-
tional law. The toleration of their
application would introduce into inter-
snational law arbitrary principles in
compatible with legitimate inter-
course between neutrals and between
neutrals and belligerents.
"China, therefore, protests energet-
lcally to Germany against the meas
ures proclaimed on February / and
sincerely hopes that the rights of
neutral States will be respected and
that the said measures will not be
carried out. If, contrary to expecta-
tlons, this protest be ineffective
China will be constrained, to it's pro-
found regret, to sever diplomatic re-
latlons. 1t is unnecessary to add that
China's action is dictated by desire
for further peace and the maintenance
of international law"
communication explanatory of
China's action also was handed to DR..
Paul S. Reinsch. American minister
to China. 1t follows:
China, like the President of the
United States, is reluctant to believe
that the German Government will ac-
tually execute measures imperil the
lives and property OF the citizens of
neutral States and ,eopardize legiti-
mate commerce and which tend if al
lowed to be enforced without opposi-
tion, to introduce new principles into
international law. China being in ac-
cord with the principles set forth in
your Excellency's note and firmly as
sociating itself with the United
States, has takey similar action by
protesting .energetically to Germany
are imperilling the lives a leve that
the, German Government such other
action in the future will actually ex-
ecute measures which maintenance of
the principles of international law"

ST. VALENTINE CHARITY BALL
Sumter B. f. b. Committee Plan to

The Sumter local committee of the
British, French and Belgian Perma-
nent Blind Relief War Fund have ar
ranged to give Charity Ball on the
evening of st. Valentines Day, Feb
ruary 18th, which promises to be one
of the most largely attended and en-
joyable social events OF the year. The
object of the ball is to raise funds
for the relief of the blind soldiers of
England, France and Belgium and it
appeals to the interest and sympathy
of all people. The cimmittee of ar
rangements have spared no effort to
make the occasion success, and not
only will all the soc1ety people of
Sumter attend, but many are expect
ed from neighboring towns. A gen
eral invitation is extended to all who
may desire to assist worthy cause
to attend the ball and take part in
the social event of the season The
admission will be seventy-fve cents.

There were seven measures proposed
all of which have passed the house.
The senate has not yet finished with
| the various measures, though most of
them have passed that body, and the
| others will in all probability get
through, although there may be some
minor amendments. The whole stu
alton arose as the result of the with
drawal of a number Of fire insurance
the passage of the Laney-Odom bill
by the 1916 session.
The house has set the stamp of it's
approval upon the proposition to re-
duce the legal rate of interest in this
state 1 per cent, making the rate 6
per cent, except by contract, in which
event it may be mace per cent.
What the senate is gong to do,> or
whether the two houses will get to-
gether upon any legal interest rate
reduction, is problemauical. So late
in the session, the proposition to re-
duce the present legal interest rate
may have hard sailing, and may
founder upon the shoals of final ad-
journment, which causes the death
of so many measures which seem to
have a bright future before them in
the early days of the session.
Still Hope for Liberty.
Recurring again to the liquor ques-
ton, which bobs up on every occa-
sion, whether in a newspaper article
or in practically every session which
either house holds, it may be stated
that the Fromberg measure to allow
Charleston to vote upon n license sys-
TEN for light wines and beers will go
to the 1918 session, at which
u - the proponent of the measure,
al / those who agree with him, hope
that the situation will so have adjust
ed itself that Charleston may be al
lowed, as coast city, and as the
metropolis of the state, facing certain
conditions different from those which
prevail in other parts of the state,
to decide for herself what is best in
regard to the whole proposition. The
,, Fromberg bill, necessitating an
amendment to the constitution, would,
of course, require a referendum to the
people, which could not be submitted
until the fall of 1918; so that by con-
tlnulng the measure until the 1918
session of the legislature no delay
would result if the measure should
finally get through.
The present session of the legisla-
ture has so far sat down upon all
measures looking towards the substi
tuition of additional amounts of light
wines and beers-or any amount
whatever of wines and beers-to be
allowed the citizens OF the state
monthly in lieu of the liquor problem
confronting South Carolina.
However, as has oeen stated, no
one can make prediction, because
| the members of the senate do not vet
seem to have made up their own
minds definitely. The only thing
which now appears certain is that
the senate will not pass "bone dry"

CAUGHT MAPPING,
THAT'S ALL.

Other nations might go to war, we
said but not the U. S. A. We thought
we would be wise and sell our products
at the high prices; we were willing to
sell even the seed we had planned to
use this year. There would be plenty
of seed, we said, for the things were
going to be about as usual, no matter
what the rest of the wrld did.
That's what we said.
But in justive to humanity the Unit
cd States had to join the rest of the
world in the war.
And now what do you say?
II doesn't matter what we say, the
fact is that our disposition to sell
got the better of US, and that we shall
have to scheme and work and coope-
rate one with the other in every way
that we can to bring this nation to the
noint where she is really fighting ma
ton.

RAILROADS NOW
ONE Big SYSTEM
During the War They are Pledged to
Work for Greater National
Efficiency.

Insofar as handling of the govern
ment business is concerned, the rail-
roads of the United States are now as
one big system. They are cooperating
for great national efficiency, and all
competition is torndown when it comes
to solicitation of government business.
This has been brought about by the
action of five members of the special
railroad committee on National de-
tense. Terminals mean nothing and
Equipment is pooled. To all intents
and purposes the railroads of the coun-
try are one nationwide transporta
ton system, and they are for the gov
eminent first, last and all the time.
Speaking of the authority of this
committee of five, a prominent rail-
road official says: "This committee has
power to take engines or cars from the
Illinois Central and send them to the
New York Central. 1t has authority
to order officers and employees from
the Union Pacific for service else
where. 1t can order shipments divert
ed from one road to another, without
regard to competitive earnings. Ex-
petition is the end in view, and this
step was taken by the railroad execu-
tives in broad-gauged and patriotic
way, which eliminates selfish interest
of any given road"
The railroads of the United States
are destined to prove potent factor
of the nation in war, and that they are
meeting their opportunities for serv-
ice to the government is shown by the
action just taken.

came to Haywood county from Ark

he now lives, and Old Beck was the on
ly animal he had with which to make
a crop. At that time she was seven
years old. She is now twenty-seven
and has made twenty-five crops for
her owner and has never been sick a
day. She still eats corn from the cob
as we'll as she did twenty years ago
Mr.. Gray says he will keep her as long
as she lives and when she loses her
teeth, he intends to grind the corn for
her. A good and faithful servant is

MORE FARMERS
AND MORE FOOD.

For many years now the young men
have been leaving the farms and
crowding into the cities. The result IS
that the cities are congested with idle
men and the farms are idle for lack
of men.
We are compelled to feed, not only
our own people, but the allied nations
fighting Germany as well-and the
men to raise the food are not all on
the farms.
The allies are suffering for food,
and we are facing tremendous short
age even for our own consumption.
Does the prospect look inviting to
you? Are you doing your part to re-
lieve the situation?
Back to the farm-it needs you!

The cost of living is becoming in
tolerable. Upon the fimsiest excuse
prices of foodstuffs are raised, and If
no excuse exists they are boosted on
general principles. Millions of people
who are dependent upon their daily
labor, find It almost impossible to keep
soul and body together. In thousands
of cases their vitality is slipping away
from pure lack of sufficient nourish-
ment. This is especially true of the
poorer laboring classes OF our large
cities. Yet in the very face of this
the Unsuitable food spectators and
profit grabbers are turning the screws
tighter every day. There appears to
be but one way in which this sucking
of the blood Of humanity can be stop
ped, and that isgfor the government to
take prompt action and fix a maximum
price at which every article of food
is to be sold, and in fixing the maxi
mum, the price should first be sched-
uled down to normal. The fact that q
scarcity of foodstuffs exists should not
be accepted as an excuse for allowing
prices to remain at the present outra-
geous figures. The same action should
be taken with reference to every artl-
Gle of necessity that we use.
