when he lived on his great plantation
In North Carolina, and she was on
her way to him when she was cap

She was left in care of his hired
men when "a Friend decided to
change his occupation from raising
hogs to selling washing machines,
tablets and toilet articles, and she,
being put on war rations, grainless
days and bedless nights, decided to
run away and hunt her master. Rev.

And now "A Friend" is anxious to
get her and send her back to his

CATHOLICS AND PATRIOTISM.
Rev. "A. X. Gwym Talks on Religious
Side Of Recent Publication.

The editor of The Courier is in re-
ceipt Of communication from Rev.
A. K. Gwynn, Of the Catholic church
Of Greenyille, (also pastor Of the
church of that denomination in Wal
halla), in reply to the article appear
ing in The Courier Of FEBRUARY 9th
under the heading zone Dissenting
Voice" 1t has ever been the policy
Of The Courier to stand aloof from
any religious discussions, or rather,
we should say, from discussions
growing out of denominational pre-
judices; and 1t Is matter OF regret
that the letter referred to by Rev.
Gwynn SO stirred us on the line Of
patriotism as to cause us to lose
sight Of that feature which, naturally,
at once caught the prelate's eye.
We have no intention of permit
ting the discussion to be carried fur
ther-a statement made, courteous
reply, and there It should, and must,
end.
Rev. Gwynn's communication was
received by us in time for appearance
in our issue Of March 9Th, but in a
letter to the editor accompanying his
article for publication Rev. Gwynn
asked question, which was answer
ed by mail, his reply not coming to
hand In time to permit the appear
ance Of his communication in our
last ISSUE j. A. Steck,
Editor Keowee Courier

And the Catholic church Is still
busy carrying out her Divine commits
sion to teach; and one thing she lays
great stress on Is this: Patriotism Is
an essential part Of religion; and pa
triotism means loyalty to ones coun-
try, loyalty in word and action, and
a willingness to sacrifice, not merely
bread and meat, but life itself, when
that country makes the call.
Work and pray" piously advises
the writer we are considering, chat
the Christian religion gain the vic
tory over Romanism." What a truly
Christian spirit Is here exhibited, not
to mention the woful confusion Of
ideas, and tho discOurtesy-not in
tended, let us hope-of calling the
Catholic religion by the opprobrious
term "Romanism." She would stir
up religious war If she could, and
tells us to work and pray" for that
end. OF course, a religious war over
here just at this time would delight
the heart OF Kaiser William nightly
indeed.
Mr.. Editor, is it to win the Kaisers
smile Of approval that your CORES
pondent has written az she mas, and
will that smile Of approval be her
comp ensation for having to live In the
United States-"the very worst hole
that ever was known" as she de-
scribes 1t? would not think of even
suggesting that this was her motive!

an uncalied-for and unprovoked in

paper, Mr.. Editor. A. X. Gwynn.

UGH ACID STOMACH,
SOURNESS, HEARTBURN,
GAS OR INDIGESTION
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin"
Reaches the Stomach All
Distress Goes.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour,
gassy stomach. Now, Mr.. or Mrs.
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin helps neutralize the excess
sive acids in the stomach so your
food won't sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick,
so certainly effective. No difference
how badly your stomach is upset you
usually get happy relief in five min
utes, but what pleases you most Is
that 1t helps to regulate your stom-
ach so you can eat your favorite
foods without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
."Pape's Diapepsin" Is positive In
neutralizing the acidity, SO the mis-
cry won't COME back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as
"Pape's Diapepsin" comes in contact
with the tomach---distres just yan-
ishes your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no belching, no eructations Of
undigested food, your head clears
and you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made. by getting a large
fifty-cent case OF Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless 1t Is to suf-
fer from indigestion, dyspepsia, or
any stomach disorder, due to acid
fermentation. ADV. 3i

OHIO TORNADO KILLS. TWO.
40 OF 81: People Injured--Niany Farm
Houses Are Wrecked.


persons are known to be dead, ano-
ther is reported killed, four'persons
are ia local hospital more or less
seriously injured, between 25 and so
farm homes are completely or partly
, demolished and scores of barns and
out-buildings were blown down, the
result Of tornado which swept the
county last evening.
The financial loss in the county Is
estimated at from 100000 to ST.
100000. The tornado first struck at
Middleburg, travelling northeast
across Harrison, Pleasant and Union
townships. The twister would swoop
down, wreck a farm house, or possi-
bly, two or three, and then jump over
four or Ave miles before doing more
damage.
Reports received here to-day say
that Continental and Holgate, Ohio,
suffered much property damage from
the tornado. No lives were reported
lost at either place.
Hundreds OF farmers from North
western Ohio and Eastern Indiana to-
day motored to Van Vert county to
aid farmers who suffered loss. They
organized searching parties which
rounded up, live stock.
The comparatively small popula-
ton Of Van Vert county prevented a
much larger loss of life. There was
very little damage done in the city of
Van Vert. Most of the havoc was
wrought west and northeast of the
city.
The known dead are Rex Lea, aged
IL, and Mrs. Charles Gree, both of
Harrison township Mrs. Charles
Perry, living three miles west of Van
Vert, was reported killed, but the
report could not be verified.
or the four injured in local hos
pitals, only one is. fatally hurt. He
is Charles Rike, who had shaft run
through his head when his buggy was
demolished. Six members Of the Sho-
walter family, In Harrison township,
were more or less seriously injured
when their home was demolished.
T Reports last night said the family had
been killed. Another woman in the
same neighborhood was badly burned
whom her home was wrecked and a
, stove was upset.
The tornado played queer pranks.
Hundreds Of chickens were entirely
denuded and left without a feather.
One chicken with only few feath-
ers left was blown high in the air and
landed on telephone post, from
which it was rescued.
{ Big boulders, weighing ton, were
found In the roads at several points,
having been lifted from fields or
creeks and carried many yards. In
Union township farm house was
lifted from It's foundation and was
carried into an adjoining field. A
heavy stove in this house was carried
half a mile by the twister.

AGED GERMAN ADsIlRAL DEAD.
Death Recalls Incident During the
Spanish-American War.

Amsterdam, March 10.-Admiral
Won Diedrichs, commander of a Ger
man squadron at Manila during the
Spanish-American war, and who
clashed with Admiral Dewey, com
mander OF the American squadron in
: the Philippines, is dead at Baden
Baden.
Spanish-Amcrican Incident,
The friction between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral Won Diedrichs
arose over the German officers disin-
clination to observe the rules of the
blockade established by The American
commander in Manila Bay. Admiral
Dewey insisted that the warships of
the neutrals entering the bay should
report to the Americans and was up
held In this contention by the British
naval commander The Germans,,
nevertheless, sought to evade the
rule and on several occasions there
was friction.
In a book published by Admiral
Dewey in 1914, three years before his
death, he describes the final incident
at Manila Bay as follows
Vice Admiral Won Diedrichs was
unconvinced. When later the Cor
moran, which was an old offender.
was sighted coming up the bay, Flag
Lieut.. Bramby was sent to make sure
that she stopped to report, in keeping
with the customs of other foreign
men of-war. When the Cormoran
saw the McCulloch approaching, she
turned and steamed toward the nor
thern part Of the bay, compelling the
McCulloch to follow. Brumby first
hoisted the International sign, \ wish
to communicate No attention was
paid to this by the Cormoran. Then
Brumby fired a shot across her bow,
which had the desired effect.
"On the following day Vice Admi-
raj Won Diedrichs sent a capable,
tactful young officer Of the staff to
me. with memorandum OF griev-
ances. When l heard them through
made the most Of the occasion by
using him as a third person to state
candidly and firmly my attitude in a
verbal message WHICH he conveyed to
his superior SO successfully. tath Vice
Admiral Won Diedrichs was able to
understand mypoint OF view There
was no further interference with the
blockade or breach of the etiquette
which had been established by the
common consent of the other foreign
commanders.
