SOMETHING'S BETTER THAN
TREATIES.

Formally refusing the German re-
quest to reafflrm and ampll1y ancient
trea ties between the United States
and Prussia, the president takes oc--
casion to say that, in the event OF
war, German subjects will not be
subjected to internment except as a
consequence of their own mlSdeedS.
This is putting the dictates Of human
ity and civilization above formal in
ternational engagements, and 1t is a
guarantee which should be highly re-
assuring to all concerned
Germany's sudden desire to renew
the treaties OF 1855, 1899 and 1923
was manifested when Ambassador
Gerard presented his letter of recall:
Up to that time its naval policy had
disregarded these engagements in all
their parts. Afterward, by OBTAINING
and .mprisoning American citizens,
it emphasized its bad faith and its
lack of sincerity in proposing to a
nation deeply wronged new COM
pact wholly in its own interest:
We have here probably 100000
German subjects-most, of them non
est; some OF them, no doubt, dishon-
est and hostile. Many German ships
are IN our harbors and there is Ger
many property of great value in all
sections Of the country. 1t was the
subtle idea of the Berlin government
that by a renewal Of old treaties on
the eve of war-treaties which ny
German perfidy on land and sea had
been reduced to blank paper-Ger-
man subjects and German property
in the United States might be rescued
before hostilities began.
The presidents note puts an emo
to this vision of a seemingly uisor-
dered brain, but it places German
rights to life, liberty and property on
ground higher than the instruments
which, when German interests are at
stake. are so lightly regarded in
Berlin. If me treaties to which Ger
many appeals today had been respect
ed by that empire we~would not be on
the eve of war. Now that they have
been cancelled by Germany's own
acts, German subjects in the United
States will owe their liberty and
their possession to the magnanimity
of the American people-and to their
own good behavior.-NeW YORK

Death of Mrs. ". T. Beard.

On the afternoon of Thursday,
May 3rd. at o'clock, the angel OF
death entered the home of Mr.. ]. R.
Morris. near Ehrhardt, and bore
hence the gentle spirit of the grand
mother. Mrs. w. T. Beard. Mrs.
Beard had been a patient sufferer
for many weeks. and death came as
sweet release from her suffering.
The deceased was eighty-three
years of age. the relict of the late w.
T. Beard. Before her marriage she
was Miss Elizabeth Warn. Besides
numbers of friends and more distant
relatives, she leaves four children to
mourn her death. These are: Mrs.
R. C. Carter. of Augusta: Mrs. J. r.
Morris. of Ehrhardt: B. F. Beard, OF
Hampton, and A. P. Beard, of Bam-
berg.
In her early youth she united with
tbe Bethesda Baptist church. OF
which she was a faithful member un-
til death. The remains were laid to
rest at Colston cemetery on Friday
afternoon at I O'Clock. the Rev. MIR.
Fielder officiating.
While we miss her gentle presence
with us, and our hearts are sad for
our loss, we cannot sorrow as those
who have no hope. for We have the
blessed assurance that she has only
gone on before to claim the crown
of Righteousness laid up for all those
who love His appearing. ).
