In German quarters it is intimated that it is quite possible the Berlin government will so "declare a:.d effect" and qualify the action with a statement that the declaration is to remain in effect pending final agreement over the I principles involved. There is 2:0 indication whether such action would meet with the approval of the United States. It was intimated at the state department soon after the American note was dispatched, however, that the negotiations on the subject in the event of Germany declaring and effecting what the United States demands. It was made clear, however, that the demands would have to be acceded to first. | According to advices from German sources Berlin's reply is expecieu to deal with broad principles rather than specific cases of illegal attacks by German submarines. The specific cases it is said will be taken up later should the two governments reach an agreement on the principles. flhere is nothing definite regarding the time when the reply may 'be expected.

It was a glorious experience to preach the blesj sed gospel in such a spiritual atmosj phere and to such attentive, earnest, ; faithful and appreciative hearers. This scribe has not witnessed greater loyalty and devotion during as evangelistic series than that displayed by the Baptists of Newberry. All hail, ye choice ones of the Master! At the busy hour of noon on the busy day of Saturday, the deacons voluntarily left their places of busi | ness and met for an hour of prayer at the church. The preachers knew nothing of this until Saturday ;night. And the good women of the congregation met every afternoon for a prayer meeting after the regular afternoon service. Of course <2od blessed such devoted efforts and gave the First Baptist church more than thirty additions by baptism and blesI sed the other churches of the city with additions also.

To the People of South Carolina: It is being clandestinely and maliciously reported by enemies of mine and the cause that I represent that I am not and will not be a candidate for governor in the election this year. This report is absolutely and unqualifiedly false and is circulated by those w!ho ^>ould rather lie than tell the truth. I am a candidate for governor and will win. I am in no combination nor interested in any one's race for governor but my own and the rumors to the contrary are the concoctions of those who wish to mislead the voters. Our cause is an honest and just one and will not 'be downed, bait based upon the great principle of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none" is bound to succeed. I am proud to inform our friends from reports received from the club meetings all over fhe 'State that we are in the most hopeful condition and more sure of success than we have been since 1912.

Here it is: "Take a piece , of eeven-eigliths-inch - ' - * #_ A _ sort wood tnree mcnes square, inio i which you have driven, near the corners at a slight angle, four eightpenny finish nails. Saw off the handle ' of an old broom and nail this 'block ! of wood to one end of it. Half fill a tumbler with cold water and putTin it a tablespoonful of kerosene oil (soap' suds also may be used.) Place the tumbler on the piece of wood between the nails and raise it to the ceiling, covering the fly. The fumes of the t kerosene oil canse the flies to drop into the glass. The best time to do this is in the evening, at dusk, or i early in the morning while the flies are settled on the ceiling." J. E. Swearingen to Be Married.

Representative Harrison of Mississippi said the (Republican attacks were in- line with their usual efforts a to delay legislation. il'he agricultural bill will be pas3 sed tomorrow. c Presents a Hotel to Courteons Manager. r In the (May American Magazine is a 1 story by Fred C.
