Woman's Auxiliary Meets

An interesting meeting Of. the
Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyte-
rian church was held on Wednesday
afternoon, June 18. Mrs. E. c. Bur-
CESS, president Of the auxiliary, led
the devotional exercises and Mrs. II.
E. Montgomery furnished the music.
After an interesting programme
on Young Peoples work and Sunday
School extention, prepared by Miss
Olive Benton, had been carried out
Miss Sue Erwin presented the cause
of The Student Loan Fund, and so
earnestly did she make this plea that
within a few minutes voluntary con-
tributions to the amount Of Si75.0O
were subscribed by the ladies pres
ent.
An effort is being made among the
members of the Sunday school and
church at large to increase this sum
to S40O which is the amount neces-
sary for scholarship in the student
loan fund. 1t is the wish of the auxll-
iary that this scholarship may be
given as a memorial Of thanksgiving
for the safe return of all the young
men of our church who served as
soldiers in the great war.
Two new members were welcomed
at this meeting of the auxiliary,
Mesdames w. E. Jenkinson and L. r.
Mcintosh.

Red Cross Notes

On Monday, June 16, and again on
the Friday following, meetings of the
executive committee of the Kingstree
chapter, A. R. c. were held at the
home of Mrs. A. C. Kinds, secretary
Of the chapter.
The resignation of Mrs. Hessie
Mouzon as community nurse, and OF
Mrs. w. E. Brockington as chairman
of the Home Service Department,
were read and formally accepted.
These designations were accepted
by the chapter with great regret, and
the secretary was instructed to write
to each Of these ladies notes Of ap-
probation for their splendid and eff
fcient services during their terms of
office. Mrs. Miller was elected to
serve On the Home Service Depart
ment, the chief duty of which at
present is to aid the returned SOL
diers in securing their allotments
from the government. Mrs. Miller is
we'll qualified for this position be-
cause of her long experience in the
office of the draft board. She under
stands government red tape and all
other details of the work, therefore,
any soldier or sailor wishing the help
of the Red Cross in securing his al
lotment should correspond with Mrs.
Miller at the Bark of Williamsburg.
Mrs. Mouzon, though ceasing to be
community nurse, will continue to
serve the A. r. c. for the next six
weeks in the capacity of teacher for
the three classes in home nursing
and care of the sick which were Or
ganized by her at Lanes, Heming-
way, and Johnsonville.

GERMAN SAILORS SINK SHIP
Officers And Crews Now Under Ar
rest on British Vessels

The German officers and sailors
forming the compliments Of the
German ships interned at Scapa Flow
sank most of their fleet last Satur-
day. All the big ships, the battleships
and battle cruisers, excepting the
Baden, and numerous smaller craft
were sunk, while others went ashore
! in a half sunken condition.
Eighteen destroyers were beached
bytugs; four are still afloat, while
the remainder Went under.
The wholesale sinking Of the Ger
man ships, which were surrendered
under the terms Of the armistice,
was carefully arranged by officers
and crews. All explosives had been
removed, and therefore, the only
means of destroying the fleet was
by opening the seacocks. The ships
went down slowly with the German
flag, which the crews had hoisted,
showing at the mastheads.
The crews, composed entirely OF
Germans, under the terms Of the
armistice, which did not permit OF
British guards aboard, took to the
boats when the vessels began to set
tie. While making for the shore the
boats were challenged and called up
on to surrender. Some Of them ignor-
ed the summons and were fired upon,
a few casualties resulting.
This stroke apparently was an en-
tire surprise, and the first news
reached London through a cores
pondent who was informed by farm
ers in the neighborhood that they
had seen the German ships sinking
with their flag aloft.
The admiralty at first denied the
report, but later confirmed it and is
sued an official statement. The Ger
man officers and crews have been
prisoners.
None of the officials tonight would
offer an opinion as to how they are
to be dealt with.

CONVICTED SIX TIMES
Willie Bethune to Stand Seventh
Trial for Murder.

Columbia, June 23.-Willie Be-
thune. the negro whose case has
been in the courts of South Carolina
for the past ten years, received a
new lease on life late this afternoon
when the State supreme court, IN an
opinion by Chief Justice Eugene B.
Gary remanded the negro back to the
circuit court of Marlboro county to
stand his seventh trial for life. He
already has been convicted Of the
murder of G. B. Minis, white man
of Marlboro county six times and
has received half dozen death SEN
tences. In each instance there was an
appeal to the supreme court, which
reversed the judgment Of the lower
court in every case. -,
Sunday morning, February q
1909, the horse and buggy of G. b.
Minis were lost on the public high
way OF Marlboro county and were
caught by Willie Bethune who imme-
diately went "joy riding" with two
of his women friends. The buggy
contained a yalise, in which among
other things was a revolver. This
Bethune pocketed. In the afternoon
Mr.. Minis, accompanied by a friend,
A. ]. McFadden, in another buggy,
went in search Of the minus convey
ance. When located it was still being
driven by Bethune, with his two
companions. Mr.. Minis commanded
the two women to alight and got IN
the buggy with Bethune, presumably
to arrest him. Bethune then snot
him in the head. There is some dis
pute in the testimony as to whether
MIR. Minis likewise fired. Bethune
was first tried for his life at Man,
ming, June 1909, was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged on June 80,
1909.

Worthless Hog Cholera Cures

Bulletin No. 223 of the, Indiana
Experiment Station, Lafayette, Ind,
gives the results of fair and quite
elaborate tests of 20 different prep
arations which were being sold in
the state as cures or preventives of,
hog cholera, or for which the manu-
facturers claimed great virtues as
hog cholera cures or preventives.
While none of these remedies were
Of any value whatever as cures or
preventives of hog cholera, the re-
suits of these elaborate tests are no
different in the results obtained than
hundreds Of others less carefully
conducted tests, which have shown
all other advertised hog cholera
cures as absolutely worthless.
Notwithstanding all these tests
and MI the other proof we have thac
these hog cholera cures are without
exception worthless, still the average
person without scientific medical
knowledge will readily accept the
claims of any one who offers a "sure
cure" for any disease, and will pay
his money for it and trust the lives
VI " 10 uoC.
Many will argue that such worth
less cures "do no harm if they do no
good" but such is not the c4se. The
chief harm done by patent medicines
and these "sure cures" today is due
to the delay they cause in consulting
a competent physician ar vetepna-
rian or in applying the proper reme-
dies.
There is no known cure for hog
cholera and no preventive, except the
anti-cholera serum when properly
used, and no man should sacrifice
his time, money and hogs trying out
any of the so-called cures offered.
Treat all alike, as worthless fakes,
and place dependence in anti-cholera
serum, good sanitary conditions and
good care and feeding and few hogs
will be lost from cholera.-The Pro
gressive Farmer.
