The last war was "Made in Ger many" and, briefly stated, the why and wherefore of the present confer ence of nations in Washington is to prevent the next war being labeled "Made in Japan." Whether willing or not, being so greatly in the minority/ the Japs will have to acquiesce in what the conference decides upon. m . fm Though considerably less than a century old, from the standpoint of modern civilization, yet Japan must now be reckoned" with as one of the jgreat world powers. Education and Christianity are the leading factors in bringing Japan to the forefront. Less than five per cent., . of the Jap anese 'people are illiterate. Yo.u can not hold such a people down, though their lot be cast upon ap isle of the sea'far removed from the rest of civ ilization. . , m . * ? South's Oldest Newspaper. ' Although published in Georgia, the people of Edgefield have for genera tions looked upon the Augusta Chron icle as a South Carolina paper, a home paper. Consequently the people here deeply- sympathize with Mr T. J. Hamilton, its editor and president of the company, in the great loss which he sustained last week. Al . though several years ago the Chron icle met a like fate, that of having its plant destroyed by fire, yet n a short time it arose from the ashes better equipped to serve its large clientele than ever. And. we prc diet that this, "the South's Oldest News paper," wuTsoon be better equipped than ever, continuing to be a very potent factor for the upbuilding of Greater Augusta. The merciless flames may destroy the Chronicle's mechanical equipment temporarily, but they can not destroy the daunt less spirit which has characterized it all down through 135 years of exis tence. The Advertiser sympathizes" deeply with its esteemed contempo rary and would that we could do something to aid in its Immediate res toration. . . * * * - Increase Wheat Acreage. Farmers will diversify now. No other course is. open to them. The cotton acreage must and will be re duced. Now what crops will be plant ed instead? One that should be al lotted a generous portion of the in creased acreage of food crops should be wheat. Bread and meat can no longer be purchased in the West. The Southern farmer will not have the wherewith to buy, so unless many of them produce it at home their families will go hungry. In order to supply the pantry with flour next year, the wheat acreage of Edgefield county must be greatly increased this fall. Already much wheat has been sown but not enough to "bread" the people of the county. The time for planting is growing short. True it is better to sow the latter part of No vember but by the middle of Decem ber is not too late. If you have not al ready sown largely of wheat, say double usual acreage, begin sowing again as soon as the condition of the soil will permit. If you harvest more wheat next summer than is needed for family consumption, it can read ily be sold for cash. ' ' Episcopal Bazaar.

"Each passing year, the stormy sea of life , Casts its rich freightage on the eternal shore; .With labors ended, and care and strife, Friends glide from us-we see them here no more. "Sometimes in hours like this, so near they seem Their loving words come with so much power; The veil seems very' thin, which hangs between . The dear departed and this world of ours. . I \ ' "One church, one family, above, be low, i One Father, Saviour, and one bless ed Guide, .May the same grace which brought them safely home, Unite us with them on the other side." 'j When the many friends and rela tives of Mrs. S. W. Gardner, Sr., learned of her death on last Mon day November 14th, they were sore ly grieved, as everyone who knew her loved her and her death was so sudden. She seemed to be in" fairly good health on the morning of her death. After finishing her breakfast she was stricken. For several months her health had been steadily failing. "Cousin Mollie," as she was called by so many friends, was an energetic business woman and had led a most active life. She was a great home loving woman and took great inter est in her home and always had a good garden. Her children and ?neigh bors, have been remembered many times with her. vegetables, fruits and flowers. "Cousin Mollie" always had something nice for her friends and loved to do#good deeds for them. She was a high toned Christian wo men, being a member xpf - Hardys church from early girlhood. Though she was not able on account of fail ing health to attend her church, she never forgot the church and did her duty towards it in other ways. There never lived a more refined or modest woman. She was known far and near for her purity of character. Before her marriage she was Mary E. An derson, and she and her husband had always lived in this community. She was a faithful and devoted wife and her kind husband loved her most tenderly. He never forgot "Mollie" one time in his life. During all of their married life he watched out for her interest always and now in his sad lonely hours we shall not forget him and beg to mingle our tears with his. She trained up her children in the way they should go and her entire life was an example worthy of them to copy. On last August ^ 14th, she was seventy nine years of age and on December 20th she and her hus band would have been married fifty five years.

Lanham, her former -pastor, conducted the services andi spoke very tenderly of her Christian life and usefulness in the community. The body was laid to rest in the family burial ground near the. resi dence beside her four departed babes. The many lovely floral offerings and the large attendance of both white and colored friends proved the very high esteem in which she was held. She is survived by her husband, Mr. S. W. Gardner, Sr., and five sons, Messrs James, S. W., J. M., H. S., S. Q., and one daughter, Mrs. J.. S. Rey nolds, and fourteen grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Mandy Morris of Grovetown, Ga., and many nieces and nephews. To all of these be reaved friends we offer our tenderest sympathy and commend them to ?mr dear Father who doeth all things well. The church has lost a faithful, loy al member, ^the community a kind, unselfish neighbor and there's a va cancy now in the home that can never be filled again. We all will miss "Cousin Mollie," and her kind re membrance to us. She is now "safe an the arm of Jesus," resting on His gentle breast. MATTIE SHAW. Trenton, S. C., Route 3, Box 29. . Well Known Newspaper Says Will Work for the Lord Hereafter. One of the most unusual state ments that ever appeared in a news paper is the following^ from a recent issue of the Fountain Inn Tribune published at Fountain Inn, in Green ville county, whose editor, Robert Quillen, widely known as a writer for magazines and newspaper*" syndi cates and as the editor of "Small Town Talk" in the Saturday Evening Post: .'Of all hard jobs in the world, that of making a public confession is the? hardest. But if it is the only square thing to. do, it must be done. This, therefore ,is an open letter to the young fellows at Fountain Inn-the "good fellows, the fellows I love and loaf with at times-the fellows I have taken 'drinks with and fellow shipped with. "All this while I have been a mem ber of the church-just that and nothing more. And when my con scious bothered me about*taking a drink when I could get it, I said to myself : 'Why, I am a liberal support er of the church; I pay the tithe; I am a gentleman and a man of intel ligence; there's no harm in my tak ing a drink, when I want it, for I can handle it.' "I said that, but I was a liar. And while posing as a church member and a follower of Christ and yet reserv ing the right to take a drink ?t my pleasure I was considerably lower down than a snake's belly. "This is a bitter dose to swallow, fellows, but I had it coming to me. And if my conduct, has led any of you to believe that a man can retain "his honor while carrying water on both shoulders, I want to make it clear that it's an impossibility. "Pm through. I'm 3^ years of age, and have never struck a lick for my' Lord. From now on I am His, to use as He thinks best and I'll stick to? Him if it costs me everything I have and every friend I have. "I'm ashamed, fellows. Forgive me for having been square. "Robert Quillen." -Columbia Record. Continental Hall. The United States government and Americans generally owe a debt of gratitude to the Daughtres of tht American Revolution for their gene rosity in lending Continental Mem orial Hall for the plenary meetings of the conference on limitations of armaments. Thfc National Capital is fortunate in having such a building. It is admirably adapted 'to the uses of the conference. The delegations are seated where all can see and hear well and there is ample room for the advisory delegations that are in at tendance. The balconies afford addi tional space for the diplomatic corps and for the general public. The light ing of the auditorium is excellent, and the acoustic properties are all that could be desired. The corridors enable visitors to meet and mingle without confusion. % The sessions of the conference have been marked by dignity and sim plicity. The audjence is keenly re sponsive, but always orderly. The delegates, some of the men of world wide fame, are always in view and can be easily .heard by every one within eyesight.
