BY BLAST, I53DIE
157 Hurt, Many Rescued
from Water in MySteri-
Gus Explosion

Toxic. Jan. l4-The japanese ar
mored cruiser Tsukuba, of 1880 tons,
was destroyed by an explosion IN the

terry.
When the Tsukuba was completed, IN
1907. she was one Of the most powerful
warships in the Japanese navy. she
was 44O feet long, with beam CT 10
feet. and was armed with four l2-inch'
twelve 6-inch. twelve 4.7-inch and four
3-inch guns, three 3-pounders and hYe
torpedo tubes. Her complement CON
sisted Of 8l7 officers and men. On her
trial trip she made a speed or ZO.o
knots.
The efficiency of the Tsukubs was
first put to the test in May, 1907, when
she was sent TO the United States TO
take part in the naval pageant at the
jamestown Exposition. The Tsukuoa
was accompanied by the cruiser Chi
tose. both vessels being under the COM
mand Of Vice Admiral Sir Gero lJuln.
Following the pageant the two Jap
anese warships came here, where they
attracted great deal of attention as
the first modern war vessels TO bring
the japanese flag into the Hudson.
Anchored off Ninetieth Street. the yes
sells we're visited by thousands Of New
Workers.
The officers Of the ships were Law
ishly entertained during their weeks
stay. several public functions being at
tended by General Tamemato kurokl,
hero of the Russo-Japanese War, and
the Mikado's special representative to
the jamestown Exposition.

As the Ruykhaver apartment had
been advertised, he thought he would
drop in and look at it. though of course
Mrs. Ruykhaver would understand that

What Germany Seeks

Germany wants only the status QUO
ante, with ever so little Of Serbia and
ever so much Of Russia as a German
controlled buffer state. Also her colo
nies. which the Allies do not mention,
but are holding back for bargaining
purposes.
On paper. these statements appear
greatly in Germsny's favor so far as
m moderation is concerned. But for Ger
many they mean everything reali-
zation of an Oriental empire. They
are actually, diplomats realize, much
further from the status quo ante than
the terms Of the Allies.
Would the Allies give up their claims
70 Alsace, the Trentino, Constantinopls
and a little Of Serbia in return for the
granting OF their other demands and .
big indemnity That is the next aues-
tion President Wilson would be asked
TO solve IL ne should clear the hr't
hurdle that Germany has set up.
The possible combinations. as Ger-
many sees It. are infinite. The main
thing is 10 keep President Wilson ~
ing the changes.

That was a great meeting at the

evident. The Herald and News would

to the next issue rs we'll as the list OF

Pomaria LutheraRfsna.

The meeting Of the Evangelical Lu-
theran Synod of South Carolina in the
Lutheran Church of Pomaria, to be-
gin November 1s, puts one TO think
ing of the local history Of that de-
nomination in that community. POM
aria was so named by William Sum-
her, the founder and proprietor OF
the Pomaria nurseries, so long ana
favorably known throughout the
country The name Pomaria is adop-
ted from the Latin word "pomarium,
meaning orchard. Though the nur-
sery has long since ceased to be kept
up as such, there are evidences on
the lands of their former use. The
property is now owned by John a.
Summer, a nephew of the original
owner, and is about two miles from
the present town of Pomaria. The
people in and around Pomaria are

The Pomaria Lutheran. Church In
Which NiHety=third Annual Con-
vention of Evangelical Lutheran Sy'
nod of South Earelina Meets No.
vember Is, 1917.

The Lutheran Synod of South Caro-
lima will meet November 13, in the
Pomaria Lutheran Church, Pomarla
in it's 93rd annual session. In many
respects this will be an important
meeting, with some unique features
Just across the hill from the churcn
still stands the old Eichelberger mouse
built nearly 100 years ago, and in
which the Rev. J. G. Schwartz taught
theology in 1881. the real commence
ment of our Lutheran Theological
Seminary. The members and visitors
will be given an opportunity to stand
on the spot thus made sacred by as
sociation and to visit the grave OF
the Rev. Mr.. Schwartz and of the
Rev. T. S. Boinest in the cemetery
nearby.
Then also a very radical change is
proposed in the constitution. The
president of synod hitherto has been
also a pastor, having only general
oversight of synod's work receiving
no financial remuneration. At the
meeting in Walhalla last year it was
proposed to so change the constitu-
tion as to elect the president Tor a
term of four years and that he devote
his whole time to the duties OF the
Office and that he shall receive a spe-
cific salary. This proposed amend
ment will come for consideration at
the Pomaria meeting. 1t is impossible
to forecast the action of synod. 1t is
something new under the sun in the
Southern Lutheran Church.
The subject of the United Lutheran
Church of America will also come up.
It is desired to unite the General
SYNOD the General Council ana the
United Synod, South, into one body.
Both the Northern bodies have taken
favorable action and the United Synod
Of the South will meet this week at
Salisbury, n c., for the consideration
of the subject. It is safe guess that
the action at Salisbury will also be
favorable to the UNI IN. But 6efore
it can be effective each of the dis
trict synods composing the general
; bodies must take acl:ol or the pro-
posed union. All the district synoos
| 80 far have acted ;a7orably, and t is
all but certain that the Sclth Carolina
Synod at it's meeting in Poma1ia Will
do the same.
There will be several candidates fo'
! ordination, several receptions from
other synods, and one appi'ratiof'

The Lutheran synod OF South Caro-
lima win hold It's annual session at
pomaria this week beginning today
This Is young congregation though
ssiusheranism is old in that section. IN
sact as old as the first settlers who
came there to abide.
We are permitted to print in this
issue very interesting article on the
growth and beginning Of Lutheran
ism in that section of the county, from
The State, and also to give ascut OF
the new church and the old house N
which vas founded the FIRST utheraA
seminary in this State, and in fact III
the South. The article does not So
state but we take it that it was writ
ten by the Rev. s. c. Ballentine who
is at present the live and energetic
qastor of the Pomaria Lutheran
church, and therefore the statements
OF fact contained in the article may be
relied upon as trSe.
We had thought that we were some
what familiar with the local history
OF this county and section, but. if we
knew it we had forgotten ever hav-
ing read OF some of tine facts stated
i'm this article. If we are not mis-
taken as to the house designated as the
Richelberger or Derrick house. when
ne first knew the place it was the
Gallman place. Afterwards we re-
member when Mr.. Derrick lived there.
Il is pity that this fine old place
should be permitted to run down like
II has, and especially, the fine old
house. Our recollection of Mr.. Gall
man is when he brought four horse
loads of corn and wheat to the mill
10 be ground, and that he had fine
teams of mules and good wagons.

The city democratic executive COM
mite held meeting on the 18th to
make final arrangements for the city
primary DR.. o. B. Mayer was elected
chairman and E. H. Aull secretary and
treasurer and the assessment OF
candidates was fixed. The attorney
for the city reported that there was
no vacancy in the Office of commits
sioner to public works.
As to registration it seems now
that the books of the county ana
State are in the hands of the clerk
of court and can not be taken out and
that under the law no names can be
added so the committee under the
authority given it by the citizens meet
ing to make the necessary changes in
the rules decided that the copy OF the
county club rolls for the city be made
as provided, and that if there were
additional names entitled to be on the
rolls that the additional names should
be taken by the secretary of the city
executive committee. The name to
be signed by the voter himself and the
additions could be made until and
through Thursday November Is ana
that copy of the county rolls together
with the additions from each ward

SO that voters who have reached the
age are entitled to vote and

The community fair at Prosperity
last year was success beyond the
expectations of its promoters. Tnls
wear 1t will be held on THURSDAY anu
FRIDAY of this week and the lndi-
cations are that it will be as
big as the State fair and with great
.er variety of exhibits and with much
more enthusiasm.
Some fifteen schools of that section
will have exhibits and when the chl-
.aren gather it will be a gathering
worth seeing. The people OF this Sec
tien Of the county have always been
noted for the fact that they made
their own produce at home and nave
always had money and owed no man
anything and they are ready to meet
new conditions. The boil weevil and
the war do not affect them So Tar
as living is concerned because they
have always lived at home. They do
not know, the meaning of the high
cost of living.
They would be pleased to see their
friends from all parts OF the county
at their fair on Thursday and Friday
of this week. It will pay YOU to go
and see what they are doing down
ahat side.
The fair Will be held at the high
school building at Prosperity.
