Orangeburg Postofflce Entered.

Oragneburg, July 12.-One Of the
boldest robberies in many days was
attempted in this city during the
small hours Of the morning, 1t is
thought, when a robber or robbers
attempted to loot tho local postoffice.
Postmaster Dukes, when asked for
a statement to-day, stated that no
money was missed, but that small
stamp case was opened, but that tho
robber did not take any stamps. Tho
marauders did ransack several pack
ages, In which wore clothes OF vari-
Gus kinds, and left the clothes spread
over tho hoor. Whether any clothes
were taken is unknown, but it scems
apparent that thc burglars woro
ir!Ghtoncd of. They did not try to

FIRE DESTROYS WESTMINSTER
Methodist Parsonage - Household
Goods Total Loss. IS *
(Tugaloo Tribune, 11th.(

| (Tugaloo Tribune, 11th.(
The Methodist parsonage, located
on College street and occupied by II.
A. Johns, was destroyed by fire last
night between II and 12 o'clock.
The fire alarm sounded shortly af-
| ter the arrival Of passenger train No.
45, which spends the night here, and
the people were notified Of the fire
by the firing Of pistol and the
blowing Of the locomotive whistle.
We learn that the fire broke out
in one Of the front rooms, and the
origin is not known at this time.
Mrs. Johns had retired and was
awakened by the popping Of the fire.
When she opened the door the blaze
met her and she had to rush from
the doomed building with her chill
dren, and had scarcely time to save
any valuables. Only few things
were taken out, and they were saved
hy those first to arrive. The sewing
machine was carried out through a.
small opening in one window. Some
bedding and little furniture were
saved.
Tho house was the property Of
the Methodists in the group of the
churches in the Westminster charge.
All the parsonage furnishings were
packed in a room of the house and
were burned. The furnishings were
not insured. 1t could not be learned
last night as 10 whether Mr.. Johns
had insurance on his household
goods, as he was away from home,
working at Greenville. The building
was insured for $500.
Due to the Stiffness Of the atmos-
phere and the prompt arrival Of help,
the adjoining buildings were saved.
The parsonage bdra and stable also
caught fire, but the blaze was ex-
tinguished by the constant pour of
water drawn from wells. Good work
was done here and the men are to
be commended for forethought and
bravery, as the homes Of J. e. Sim
gleton and e. II. Dickson and per-
haps others OH the same side Of the
street would have been in danger
had not the fire on the stable been
cxtinguished when it was.

vent through the years, and now that
ane mad como back It was awaiting
her. She slipped back into her old
position and few knew she had ever
gone away.
The late DR.. J. Wilbur Chapman
used to tell this story to illustrate
Gods gracious way Of restoring his
erring saints. In our text we have
ono Of the great scriptural examples
OF such gracious restoration, from
which NIL may take comfort.
Christ inquiries Of Peter, "Slmon,
son Of Jonas, lowest thou me more
than these?" Peter had protested that
though MI others might forsake
Christ, he would never leave Him.
But he had shown, too sadly, that he
did not love his Master "more than
these How Christ's question must
have rebuked him And in his reply
1t is to be noted that all the old spirit
Of boasting Is gone and there is no
claim to love Christ more than others
love Him.
Some Searching Questions.
Peters humility is shown in another
way. In Christ's question, the word
used for love, in the original, indi-
Gates an unselflsh love which expects
no return-the love Of friendship.
When Peter replies, he uses lower
word for love, indicating a personal
clinging affection which seeks return.
In other words, he has ceased to
bonst Of his love, not only rs to guam
tity, but also as to quality. He only
dares to assert he Is fond Of Jesus
Moreover the third time Jesus in.
quired as to Simon's love, lie used
the same word, in tho original, which
Peter had been using, rs If to say:
Are you sure You have even this
lower kind Of love that you are even
fond OF !nc2" No wonder Peter was
Ericvcd when Christ said unto him
the third time, 'lOvcst thou mc?" IIc
can only reply: Lord, thou know
est ail things: thou knowcst that |
love thee" Potter feels he has so
failed In showing his loyr that only
his Lord, who knows all things, can
see it

GERMANY is UNABLE TO PAY
Casl-Thc Unprecedented Dcprccia-
ton Of Mark Given as Cuasc.

Paris, July 12.-Germany served
notice on the allied powers through
the reparations commission to-day
that she could no longer meet cash
obligations Of any sort, whether
growing out OF the Versailles treaty
stipulationS undertaken by accept
ance Of the London ultimatum Of
May 5, 1922, or arranged by the
schedule Of payments drawn up by
the reparations commission on the
2lst Of March, 1922.
The depreciation Of the mark on
foreign exchanges Is given as the
reason for the impossibility Of Cor
many to pay, and for her request
that she be relieved Of cash engage
ments, including the payment of 3d.
100000 gold marks on Saturday, as
we'll as all subsequent payments in
1922, 1923 and 1924.
The German note submitted to the
commission makes no mention of
Germany's intention regarding cash
payments after 1924, but asks that
the negotiations for foreign loan
Interrupted at Paris last month,
which Germany blames for the con-
tlnued fall Of the mark, be resumed
at the earliest possible date, or a
financial, economic and social catas-
trophe in Germany is likely to de-
velop.
The reparations commission will
decide tomorrow whether Germany
must meet the July Is payments,
but will make no ruling as to a fur
ther moratorium until 1t receives
the report Of the committee on guar
antees, now in Berlin.

We, all of us, have spells of think
ing that we are rather abused, that
life hasn't given us a fair chance and
lot Of other vain imaginings. The
best cure for this is to visit the siums
in some city and find out how those
children get their start. They never
see green field; they only get an oc-
casional peek at the blue sky between
the canyons of the tenement houses.
The best play house they have is the
fire. escape. Their feet are hardened
by rough pavements and cobble stones
and the only green things they see are
the flowers in the florist windows or
the vegetables on the truck drivers
cart.
Consider your own boyhood? How
does II compare with this. Beyond
doubt you had whole fields to run in
and plenty of wholesome fresh coun-
try air to breathe. You could lie on
your back by the hour and build cas-
ties in the clouds. Evil was a thing
unknown to you until you were old
enough to meet it with the teachings
of a good mother.
Often all those blessings, you feel
that you have not had fair start in
life. Compared with the poor little
city chaps you should be one of the
king of the earth.
Adversely is sometimes a fine thing
to bring out the stuff that is in you
but the wrong kind of living condi-
tions is not necessarily form Of adj
versity and they have never been
known to bring forth anything good.
Children raised in the slums who be-
come useful and concientions citizens
are so in spite Of their conditions and
not because of them. They deserve

cess does not arrive until late in life
because people are slow in finding the
thing for which they are really fit-
ted.
That is one Of the chief dangers pa
rents encounter in deciding their chill
drens futures for them. Instead of
letting a child's natural bent settle
the question, they make doctors or
lawyers or merchants out Of them ac-
cording to their own tastes in the
matter. That accounts for about so
per cent of the failures in the world.
The other twenty per cent comes
from lack of courage and stick-to-it-
iveness in the face OF failure.
