"George means business I hope," she eftid sternly. i u ' " ' I 1 alalia MISSIONARY MEETING. Methodist Ladies Hold Interesting Meeting Tuesday. The Woman's Missionary society of the Methodist church had a splendid meeting at lthe church on Tuesday afternoon. Fourteen members and three visitors were present. The officers were in attendance. It is always a splendid thing to have our officers in their places. Visitors are warmly welcomed. If there was a single 'thing not just as it should have been surely it is this: Not all the members remembered to meet with us. Every member is needed whether we feel this way about it or not. No perfeon can fill your place! Not a one! But we are glad for the right good attendance we had. The subject for our meeting was, "Adolescent youth, our opportunity*." The president read some verses from St. Luke, which tell us of the child Christ /who questioned in the temple, and was obedient to his parents. Prayer was offered and a song was sung. A member read "A true story of city missions," which showed us our duty as a church to girls in general, but to working girls in particular. An article "Child labor in North and South Carolina" and a poem "Whir of the wheels" was read also. ~ - 1 A X. ^ J The first vice president reyuneu a good young people's meeting held since the adult^society met last.

Jr _ 25 Dodging the Beaten Path. Congressman Robert L. Doughton, of North Carolina, smiled the other evening when the conTOrsation at a smoker turned to reversing the order of things. He said he was reminded of the case of Bowers, relates the Newr York Times. Bowers met a benevolent party on a railroad train one day, and as the acquaintance ripened a bit he began to spread before the other the history of his life. "When I was clerk in a grocery store," remarked BOwers, among other things, "I received only 9 a week, and like many other young men I fell in with bad companions Kooron tn camhlp T " auu u^au tw "I see," interrupted the benevolent party, sadly, "you were tempted and took money which did not belong to you." "Oh, no," cheerily responded Bowers. "In less than a month I won enough money to buy the grocery." For $ale?Lots Nos. 24 and 25, in block 3, on Broad street, cheap. _.R. M.

William Jennings Bryan, former secretary of State, will make a pubL lie address in Columbia tonight. Rev. J. N. Tolar, has resigned the pastorate of the Grace Baptist ' church, Sumter, effective November first. Grant Scipio, a negro, died in Tiin, monsville Tuesday as a result of injuries sustained by being struck by an A. C. L. train Sunday. > Mrs. A. J. S. Thomas, widow of the ; late Rev. Mr. Thomas, of Greenville, i died at the home or her daughter, s Mrs. Brooks Rutledge, in Florence, on Monday. The postoffice at Eulonia, near ' Mullins, was entered by robbers ' Tuesday morning. The store of S. 1 U. Davis was also entered, and a quantity of goods stolen. Tobie Keller, of Elloree, met death on Monday while bathing "in a pond, by breaking his neck after having struck the bottom of the pond in the act of diving. He was 21 years of age. t Miss Mattie Pate was found dead in her bed at her home in Sumter Monday, when her sister went to the , room to call her to 'breakfast. She was enjoying her usual health when she retired the night before. , Children Overtrained. Josephine Dodge Daskan Bacon has undertaken to give her readers something a little more substantial than mere fiction. Moved by the necessity for protest against what she calls "pathetic rot" in child culture, Mrs. Bacon?who is a mother as well " as a writer?tells the public frankly that children are fussed with and fussed over entirely too much. "Many modern theorists," she says, in the ' New York Times, "believe that a } child's mind is an empty space which ' they must constantly try to fill. ' What dangerous nonsense that is!" Then she continues: "This constant prying into a child's mind is a ruinous thing. A child ' has his own rights; he should be allowed /his own individuality. The modern American-woman has a fatal fondness for analogy?that is why > she is so fond of Maeterlinck. Some one tells her that a child's mind is like a garden in which she must plant beautiful flowers, and she seizes the idea with tremendous en thusiasm. If on? of my children had a mind like a garden I wouldn't let it come any nearer me than the laundry. I haven't the remotest idea what my children do with a great deal of their time. They go aiway somewhere and yell. They have a' perfect right to do so, just as grownup people have a perfect right to play bridge or read 'Robert Chambers' novels." If we will stop our "prying" long enough to think about it, we shall very likely see a good deal of truth* in what Mrs. Bacon says. Children nowadays, it must be confessed, are hedged about with "Do's" and "Don'ts" to an extent that leaves them little latitude for initiative of their own. As a result, Mrs. Bacon says, the modern American child is appallingly lacking in initiative. It - - sbp IS UYT7X liailiCU, UT&1U1V/IVU| wuw charges, and finally over-Montesorried. It ought to be let alone more. There is too much supervision, too much restriction. The consequence , is seen in the fact that its capacity ' for independent thought is much less . than it used to be. And as for selfreliance, children lack it as much as / they lack initiative. Of course, Mrs. Bacon is probably indulging in the feminine fondness for hyperbole. Things are not so bad as she thinks, or says, they are. But the grain of truth is in the ut- , terance nevertheless. Children, as she says, are entitled to more independence?to all, indeed, that they I can use to their advantage. And they are, as she charges, "too much studied and supervised and directed." Lengthening the apron string is not ; a bad thing to try now and then. Meaning Defined. "What is the. difference," asked the teacher, "between caution and cowardice?" Johnny, who observed things carefully for so youthful a person, answered : - ? . .. "Caution is wnen you re airaia ana cowardice is when the other fellow's afraid." t * V ' . ">. A - Y.-.-. > ' AMBASSADOR IX TROUBLE. Recall' of Austrian Minister is Requested by the U. S. Washington, September 9.?Ambassador Penfield, at Vienna, has been instructed to inform the Austro-Hungarian government that Dr. Constantin Dumba no longer is acceptable as an envoy to the United States and to ask for his recall. .Secretary Lansing formally announced th? action tonight. - It was the answer of^the American, government to Dr. Dumba's explanation of his intercepted letter to Vienna out lining plans for handicapping American plants making war supplies for the allies. Ambassador Penfield was instructed by cable yesterday to deliver the following note to the foreign office: "Mr. Constantin Dumba, the Austro-Hungarian ambassador at Washington, has admitted that he proposed to his government plans to instigate strikes in American manufacturing plants engaged in the production of munitions of war. The information reached this government through a copy of a letter of the ambassador to his government. The bearer was an American citizen named Archibald, who was traveling under ah American passport. The ambassador has admitted that he employed Archibald to bear official dispatches from him to his government. "By reason of the admitted purpose and intent of Mt. Dumba to conspire to cripple legitimate industries of the people of the United States and to Interrupt their legitimate trade, and by reason of the flagrant violation *<6f diplomatic propriety in employing an American citizen, protected by an American passport, as a secret bearer of official dispatches through the lines of the enemy of Austria-Hungary, the president di 9 14 recta me to inform your excellency that Mr. Dumba is no longer acceptable to the government of the United States as the- ambassador of his imperial majesty at Washington. . "Believing that the imperial and royal government will realize that! the government of the United States has no alternative but to request the recall of Mr. Dumba on account of his improper conduct, the government of the United States expresses its deep regret that this course has become necessary, and assures the imperial and royal government that it sincerely desires to continue the cordial and friendly relations which exist between the United States and Austria-Hungary." Going to Headquarters. Karl Fred Bondy answered the -telephone. An excited woman was on the line, says the New York Railway Employers' Magazine. "Is this the New York Railways?" she asked. "Is the general manager there?" "This is his office, madam." "Well, you know how warm it was this morning, and then how terribly cold it turned shortly afterward?" "Yes, madam." "Well, my daughter, Nora, went down town early this morning and she wore only a light waist and skirt. You know how the people keep the car windows open in the summer time, and I'm afraid she'll catch her death of cold coming home. Can't you issue an order to have all the car, windows closed today?" Warned in Time. Former President Taft tells this story himself: "There is a lad of my acquaintance in New Haven who used to bite his nails. 'See here,' said the nurse to him one^day, 'If you keep biting your nails like that, do you know what will happen to you.' " 'No,' said the youngster, 'What?' " 'You'll swell up like a balloon and burst.' ^ "The boy believed his nurse. *He stopped biting his nails at once, about a month after the discontinuance of the habit he encountered me at luncheon. He surveyed me with stern disapproval. Then he walked over and said to me, accusingly: " 'You bite your nails?' " Ireland's splendid police system, the Royal Irish constabulary, numbering over 11,000, does not utilize a single typewriting machine as far as is known. All communications from the constabulary offices throughout Ireland, whether addressed to other police officers or to outside correspondents, are written by hand. In other respects the organization is thoroughly modern and excellently equipped. . / Canada's population now exceeds 8,000,000. according to a recent estimate from Ottawa. 1 \ , . :, . -' > ,v * ? % 4 - 'm M PRIZES TO BE AWARDED.

Lynch, from out on the creek, tells us that she has a calf not yet seven months old which is giving more than a quart of milk twice a day. It seems that when she would go to milk the cow her little daugh- ' I ter thought to imitate her and played milking the calf. After a time the little girl spoke of how much milk * she got from the calf. They tried not milking the calf one night and by the next morning the calf was bellowing to be milked just as loudly as the cow. Many people have v< been out to see the calf milked. One day last week two or three automobiles full went out. The calf is half jersey and half holstein and the j cream from her milk is as yellow as v j gold.
