CHA1NGANG MAINTENANCE. Superintendent Explains System of Bookkeeping. Editor Record:? In view of the fact that there has been considerable skepticism as to the published reports as to the cost of the chainjrsns: camps, and especial ly in regare to cost of feeding the men, I would like, with your permission, to say a few words as to | how the monthly report is made up. There is kept at this camp (since January 3) a regular set of books? day book and ledger?on which is placed every item of cost of whatsoever nature the same may be. From day book it is transferred to ledger under its proper head. For instance, every article of food, whether regular heavy groceries, or something bought outside tor a change, such as potatoes, fresh meat or vegetables is placed in the board account. Every article in the hardware line, from lap link to locomotive, is placed under the caption, Hard/rare. Under the caption, Incidentals, we place soap, oil, axle ? j i- M^ grease ana sucn imngs as nave uu fixed status and is, therefore, thrown on this indiscriminate scrapheap. A bill is on file for every item of cost and is booked in regular order; from the book to the report is the next step and then to the hands of the County Board of Commissioners who sit in final judgment as to the accuracy and justices of each claim as passed. For the past three months, under instructions of the board, the groceries have been bought from Mr J M Brown, who has, I think, sold them as cheap as could be expected; to be explicit, eight per cent above actual cost. There is nothing secret or hidden about the whole camp, except possibly a fow old torn stripes that have been thrown out in the bushes. The bill file is hanging open. The books are in the desk unlocked and the latch is on the outside. Respectfully, J Z McConnell, Supt Camp No 2. Gold Near McCormlck. McCormick, April 4:?The Sullivan Mining company ,!which has the Jennings property of the old Dern mine leased and is working about two and and one-half miles beyond the town, last Friday struck a vein of gold that after an assay has proven to be worth from $16,000 to $20,000 a ton. There is much excitement in the new county over this discovery. Something over $1,000,000 worth of gold has been mined in and around McCormick during the past, and the recent discovery has showed that there is much more here now. Bad Couch? Feverish? Grippy?

Columbia, March 29: ?Governor Manning today received the following letter from Robert Wilson, Jr, M D, dean of the medical college: "In view of the establishment at Charleston of headquarters of the Southeastern army division, I have taken the liberty of offering the surgeon general the use of the college and the college laboratories for such purposes "as may be required. I trust that this action will meet with your approval." \ ^ Cotton correspondents throughout the South report that the cotton acreage will be larger than last year.

Lesson II.?Second Quarter, For j April 8,1917. | THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES, j Text of the Lesson, John xi, 17-44. Memory Verses, 25, 26?Golden Text, John xi, 25?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The lesson chapter today is out of [ the regular order, just one lesson, be- ' | cause of Its being suitable for Easter I This Is the home in Bethany which [ seemed to mean more to Jesus thau ! any other and to which we were inJ troduced In Luke x. 38-42, when we | saw Martha serving, but not restfully. j Mary serving also, but finding time to 1 sit at Jesus' feet and hear Ills Word ; and commended by Him. We shall i visit them again two weeks hence | In Matt, xxvi, 6, It Is called the house j of Simon, the leper, and we feel like asking some questions, that we may ! | know the family better. Bnt whom I shall we ask? Until we can see them L ! and Inquire more fully. If it shall then I | seem best, let us rejoice with them ? i that Jesus loved each of the three, as | ' It Is written. "Now. Jesus loved Martha | ! and her sister und Icarus" (verse 5). j I Many Marthas have been made giad 'I j by this verse. I ain glad because the | I Son of God loved me and gave Him- . self for me and that He loves with ; | everlasting love and to the uttermost I (Gal. 11, 20; Jer. xxxl, 3; John xlil. 1. V j R. V. M.). Why He permits sickness i and suffering and death to come to those whom He loves is a constant question with many, but there is com fort in the assurance that God is love. His way is perfect No real evil can e ever come to His own. and the suffer p Ings of this present time are not u worthy to be compared with the glory f which shall be revealed in uti (I John 8 Iv, 8; Ps. xviil, 80; xcl, 10; Rom. Till, P I 18). Why He did not go to them as ^ soon as He received the word, but t abode two days where He was (verse 6), is another perplexity, but we must have absolute confidence In Him and keep f.giug. "Just and true are Thy * ways" tllev. xv, 3). j It would be well if the last clause of t j verse 4 held us uuder all circumstances, i "For the glory of God, that the Son of ! God might be glorified." Glory to God j in the highest is the first thing, and j then peace (Luke 11, 14). When He did ; come Martha met Him first and Mary a little later, but both greeted Him with the same words, "Lord, if Thou haclst been here my brother had not ' died" (verses 21, 32). They sound rej proachful, but He understood and loved , them Just the same. He spoke to Mar- ' tha of resurrection, but she thought that He spoke of some far olf event (23-26). Tbe resurrection of the righteons should be to believers an ever present possibility and also the thought cf being caught up without dying, both of which He here asserts. See also I Thess. iv, 16-18; I Cor. iv, 50-53. Not something in the far distant future, but a possibility any day. "Yet n very Little while. He that cometb shall come and will not tarry" (Heb. x, 37, R. V.). Wary did not come to Him until Martha returned and said, "The Master is come and calletb for thee." Then she arote quickly and came unto Him (rer6es 28, 29). I wonder how the Jews comforted her <verse 31). How would you comfort such a sad heart? 4 God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us that we may comfort others, but I remember only one place where It Is written, "Comfort one another with * these words" (II Cor. 1, 3, 4; I Thees. i lr, 18). Of too many it might be said, * "Miserable comforters are ye all" (Job i XTi, 2). In due time they came to the tomb, and Jesus wept and groaned in ? Himself (verses 35. 38). Ob. this occasion, as He entered Jerusalem and in Gethsemane are the three ( occasions on which it is recorded that Jesus wept, but He was ever a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa. liil, 3). When He said, "Take ye away the stone," Martha objected, as if it were an impossible case, for he hud been dead four days. His reply is , foi each of us and for every day, "Said I not unto thee that If thou wouldest believe thou shouldest see the glory of God?" (Verse 40.) The same truth Is In Ph. xxvil^l3?I believed to see. The , world's not to is. "Seeing Is believing," but the Christiun believes in order to see. Jesus talked a moment with His Father and then cried with a loud voice. "Lazarus, come rortii:" instantly ne wus at the mouth of the tomb, alive and well, but still bound hand and foot, with the gruveelothes and his face bound about with the napkin. The same word that gave him life brought him also to the mouth of the cave. Some day that same voice will bring forth all the dead, the righteous at the beginning of the thousand years and the unjust at the close of that period (chapter v, 28, 29). ? It probably gave fear and trembling to some to see a dead man stand np j with the graveclothes still on him, but j Jeaus said, "Loose him and let him go," j and socai he Is freed from the tabill- j ments of death. Oh, the wonder working' Christ; truly a man, for He wept; truly God, for He can raise the dead, and He Is ever "this same Jesus." j .Many who have come to life from be- t lng dead in sins have not been fully e freed from their graveclothes, the c things they did In their former days c when they were of this present evil * age, but lie who gave life is able to set k free from all bondage ami make free indeed to ve ITiui. If you are free j by Ills wo . t'i-1 Spirit. lie will u.-eyo i ] to set so c else free if you will. I I Women! IS 1 III Here Is a message to IfisAl I Buffering women, from Mrs. W. T.
