s. S. CENTRAL COMMITTEE
OUTLINES WORK FOR YEAR
Miss Milwee Davis of Laurens, Ru.
raj Superintendent of State
Association.

Spartanburg, s. c., May 1s.-The
central committee of the South Caro-
lima Sunday School association, COM
posed of Rev. w. H. K. Pendleton,
Chairman; H. L. Bomar, R. E. Boggs,
IS. T. Banham, T. M. Lyles, of this
city, and M. F. Ansel, Greenville;
Rev. w. i. Herbert, Greenwood; and
DR.. F. M. Ellerbe, Jonesville, held
an important meeting on Monday of
this week.
At this meeting, plans were out
lined for the work of the tate Asso-
citation during this convention year.
The committee were unanimous in
electing Miss Milwee Davis, of Lau-
rens, as rural superintendent of the
State association. Miss Davis is Pc
'culiarly fitted for this work and will
render the Sunday Schools of the
State splendid service. Her special
work will be with the rural Sunday
Schools, but she will be prepared to
help in the general work of the Dis
trict and County conventions. Miss
Davis will give practically all her
time during the year to field and
Office work. She and the General
Secretary r. D. Webb, will attend
the International Training School
for Sunday School workers at Lake
Geneva from July l to July Is. H..
A. Wise, of Columbia, was reelected
as Secondary Division Superintend-
ent, and Paul Quattlebaum, of Con-
way, as Adult Division Superinten-
dent.
1t was voted by the central COM
mittee to adopt the self entertain
ment plan for the next State Con-
vention. This action was taken In
view of the fact that because of the
size of the convention only very
few cities in the State can entertain
it, and these few cities would have
to entertain it too frequently under
the present plan. The General Sec
retary was authorized to take up
the matter with any cities that may
wish to entertain the convention un-
der the new plan.
The State Association, in connec-
ton with the international Associa-
ton, will help to promote "Patriotic
Day" in South Carolina on Sunday,

EVERY CHARLESTON
ELEMENT UNITED IN
HONORING GEN. WOOD
Spirit of Americanism Pervade Air
of Historic City Yesterday-Sol--
dier Stresses Sacrifices to Come

Charleston, May l7.-High up in
the steeple of st. Matthews, the Ger
man Lutheran church of Charleston,
the chimes pealed the national an
them, and to the South Carolinians
gathering on Marion square, the Git
adel green, there was thrilling mes
sage in the clear notes of those
sweet bells. For in this church on
alternate Sundays the service is in
the German language. That one
beautiful incident represents more
succintly than any thing else the
spirit of old Charleston during the
patriotic day in honor of Leonard
Wood, major general of the United
States army and commander of the
department of the Southeast who
has come to be a resident of South
Carolina.
It was a great occasion in Char
lesion, a soft summer day, when ma
ture harmonized with the spirit of
patriotism and of Americanism. This
is the first time that a major general
of the United States army has ever
been feted in honor in Charleston,
and there was not one incident or one
expressed word to mar the gracious
expression of loyalty to the United
States.

RUSSIAN SITUATION
APPEARS CLARIFIED
Bullecourt Has At Last Fallen anu
Hindenburg Line Seems Doomed
Japanese Naval Unit in Europe.

A hitch in the formation of new
government in Russia, developing
yesterday, apparently has been set
tied overnight.
Every indication yesterday was
that the acute crisis had been settled
by the formation of a coalition gov
ernment, but a dispatch filed in Pet
rograd last night announced that the
settlement was not yet final.
Quickly following this, however,
came a dispatch under today's date
stating definitely that cabinet had
been formed with the inclusion Of
six Socialists. Thus it appeared that
whatever difficulty there had arisen
had been adjusted.
German rumor, meanwhile, is busy
with the Russian situation. News
agency reports from the Hague to-
day gave evidence of this in announ-
cling the currency there of a rumor
of German origin that as the result
of the political changes in Petrograd
a truce was about to be arranged be-
tween the central powers and Rus
sia. Every indication from Petro-
grad is directly contrary to any such
assumption, one of the cardinal fea-
lures of the new governments pro-
gram being the continuation of the
unity with the allies.
Bullecourt is at last in British
hands and the Drocourt-Queant line
appears doomed. The tremendous
sacrifices made by the Germans have
proved in vain and the flames Of
burning towns behind their lines give
colors to reports that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg is contemplating
another strategic retreat.
The capture of Bullecourt has
brought the British to within two
miles of Queant, on the northern
side of the famous switch line. Their
guns have already encircled it at an
equal distance to the south and east,
and only a narrow gateway to the
northwest lies open to the German
garrison. Bullecourt itself, over
which much blood had flowed, stands
on height overlooking broad val
ley which runs directly to Queant. It
presumably will take some time for
the British to establish their heavy
guns on this height, but the fate Of
Queant seems sealed.
Additional reports from the Italian
front emphasizes the Importance Of
the victory won by General Cadorna,
but they also bring word that the
Austrians have reacted and apparent
ly the usual period Of counter-at-
tacks will follow the first successful
assault on the Isonzo heights. The
enormous difficulties of the terrain
over which General Cadorno is op-

Almost Given Up,
Hope Had Gone,
Well Again
After Suffering For Years Has Been
Made a New Woman by Use Of a
Preparation Made in Athens

"For several years I had the worst
kind of indigestion and sick head
ache,"- Mrs. Seavers, in speaking
of Jackson's Cordial and the results
she has had, "and at times became
so bad it was impossible for me to
attend to my household duties. Moth
ing I ate seemed to agree with me
nor could I get any medicine that
would give me relief" Mrs. Seavers
had let her daughter take all the re-
sponsibility of running the home and
had come to the conclusion that she
was to be a confirmed invalid. "My
husband had consulted all the spec
ialists he could reach, but they did
not seem to know what was the mat
ter. Our doctors bills were taking
everything we had and it looked like
it was useless for me to try to live.
Mr.. Seavers heard a travelling man
talking about what Jackson's Cor
dial would do for indigestion and got
a bottle from him. That one bottle
certainly saved my life as don't be-
lieve I would have lived much lon
ger. I have taken six bottles now,
My headaches are gone, can eat any
thing I desire, feel twenty years
younger and am new woman. !
am certainly glad to recommend
Jackson's Cordial to any one suffer-
ing with a headache or indigestion
as I know it cured me-"
This is only one of many instances
where life has been saved by Jack
sons Cordial. 1t will certainly re-
lieve a sick headache which is almost
invariably caused by stomach. It will
also put your system in fine shape
for the change from winter to
spring, and now is the time to take
it. -.

EAT LESS AND TAKE
'... SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers.

The American men and women
must guard constantly against Kid
ney trouble, because we eat too
much and all our food is rich. Our
blood is filled with uric acid which
the kidneys strive to filter out, they
weaken from overwork, become slug
gish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and general decline in
health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you
are obliged OF seek relief two or
three times during the night; if you
suffer with sick headache or dizzy
nervous spells, acid stomach, or you
have rheumatism when the. weather
is bad, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
clogged kidneys; to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer is
a source of irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad ats is inexpensive; cannot in
lure, makes delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can
make a mistake by having a good
kidney flushing any time.-AdV.
