"Whlhi we are not at war now and (?oil forbid Hint we bo at war any time soon, If ever wisdom points unerringly to tho necessity of hoing ready to defend ourselves." "If President Wilson is quoted correctly as desiring tho United Slates to have ? navy 'incomparably tho graulest In tho world,' I say now und here that I am not in favor ol' any such navy as that; hut I do want us to have tho second best navy atloat. 1 know that wo cannot rival England boca uso her existence de pends on her control ol' the SIM.

May?, of Fair Play, at tho quarterly mooting hold with Bethel church, February Bths ' What aro Ibo best methods of get ting our women to ra ko a moro act ive Interest in our mission work?" When wo think ol' what Jesus has dono for woman- how Ile not only brought .salvation, but lifted her from tho position of her heathen sister to the plano W heron she now dwells-a discussion of the above question would seem unnecessary, lier grati tude, as well as love, should lead her to obey Mis commands, and what ono is mon? important than "(lo ye into all tho world?" Ala?! not every wo man is last at the cross and first to tho empty sepulchre left by tho risen Lord! How, then, shall these uninterest ed ones bo Induced to take a more active part in mission work? What methods are to be used? Who uro to vi sc thom? Supposing the answer to this last lo bo, those ol' us who take an active interest, then let us SOO' First. Aro we sufficiently active and Interested ourselves? Do we at tend tho meetings of our society every time it is possible to do so? Are we doing our pari to make tho meetings helpful and into vesting? Do wo give systematically and propor tionately" Are we concerned for lost souls? Aro we regularly study ing tin? Bible and praying for the coming ol' ills kingdom? Let each examino her own heart and life. If interest is low, let us pray - "Stir UH1, oh stir me Lord, 1 care not how ; Bul stir my soul in passion for the world ! Stir mo to give, to go, but most to pray ; Stir till tho blood-red banners be unfurled O'er lands which still in heathen darkness lie O'er homo lands where no cross is lifted high." Then let us take to task tho gain ing of others. Second. Our headquarters publish a little dialogue entitled. "How Not to Do lt." This is a picture, I fear, of a groat many of our society meet ings. The olhcers and members alike were forgetful, careless or indiffer ent; tho president was late and had neglected many little details, thc secretary had forgotten her minutes; tho treasurer had no account book and no business methods. Tho money had been raised in different question able ways; some had been sent in too late, and some misappropriated. In short, the coming together of these Indies could hardly be termed a meeting. There was no deliaite program, no Scripture, no prayer, in appropriate hymns, ls this a picture of your society and mino? If so, lol us benin lhere. All of us know that a meeting of any kimi not begun on time will drag and interest will he lacking. Then the devotional, definite missionary program and bus iness part ot tho meeting should be properly carried out. All of which should be arranged for ono month before lime of meeting, letting each ono on tho program he perpared. \nd please do not leave everything for the president to do. Have a pro gram committee, and one at work, 'let your pastor and Sunday school superintendent on your side. When having your meetings announced a few well-chosen words from them may have a good effect. Make persistent, patient efforts to have members of your society take the missionary magasines as well as other religious periodicals. Would it not be a good plan to have one cer tain member to get up clubs and send in subscriptions? In this way some would subscribe who never think ot it otherwise. Then have mission classes also. We need to be educat ed along the lino of missions if wc would do off ?tl ve work. Third, lt seems to me that more social features connected with otu work would arouse moro Interest on the part of some. 1 do not moen thc serving- of refreshments after oacli regular meeting; but why not spend a day in tho good, old-fashioned way of quilting or making quilts for thc orphanages or sewing tor the needs of the hospltol? More than this have a regular social afternoon, wit! a bright missionary program, enter tainment and refreshments convey lng Romo missionary truths.

The activities of the Western police force drove him to New York city. There he drifted into tho fold of that famous mission in the slums of that great city-the Jerry McAuley mission, where he was converted.

Columbia, Feb. 10.-The Sinking Pu nd Commission late to-night an nounced that it had awarded tho contract for refunding the Brown consol debt of the State to a syndi cate composed of Townsend, Scott & Son, Baltimore; Stacy & Draugn, New York, and Palmetto National Hank. Columbia. This bid was for the entire outstanding issue of Brown consol bond? amounting 'to $4,800, 000, at par, with ucurued Interest to date, and a premium of $20,016. There were about 15 bids, but this-1 was the most favorable one and it se cured the issue. The bonds aro refunded under an act passed by the Legislature in 1912. The new bonds will bear in terest nt the rate of 4 per cent annu ally instead of 4 V6 per cent, which rato the Brown consols carried. This will mean a saving of $25,000 a year in interest alone ?nd under the terms of the bid, which secured the bonds, interest will bo paid from 1912. Manning Pleased. Governor Manning gave out the following statement in regard to tho sale: "As the Governor of the State, and as a business man and taxpayer, I am very much gratified that the Sinking Fund Commission has been able to make such an advantageous sale of the bonds, the proceeds of which are to be used for the redemption of the Brown consol bonds and stocks ap proximating $ I,SOO,000 and saving to the taxpayers of tho Stnte approxi mately $2 1,000 a year, in addition to placing about $1,500,000 on the tax books that has been exempt from tax ation in tho past.*' Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure.

One very satisfactory explanation of the high rates now being charged for shipping cotton abroad will be found in tho marked disappearance of ships as a consequence of the war. The significant fact stands out that In the IT months during which there has been fighting at sea, nearly 2, 000,000 tons of ships have been sunk. This tonnage was represented by 990 vessels of all kinds. The record for longland is 602 ships, with a tonnage of 1,192,551. Against this is a Ger man loss of 65 ships, with a tonnage of 1 G1 .SSS. The United States, not at war, has lost seven vessels, repre senting a tonnage of 1 4,087. Lloyd's Register Book for 1915-16 places the entire British tonnage at 1.732,700, and by these figures England's ton nage now afloat amounts to but 540, 159. On tho other hand, Germany's tonnage has been reduced from 4, 706,027. leaving afloat at this timo 1,514,139. Tho figures are for steam and sailing vessels. lu tho losses are included 50 steamers of over 5.000 tons, but the giant victim was the Lusitania, wtth a tonnage of 30,396. There should be no confu sion of shij>s on which Americans were lost and American-owned ships. As indicated the latter have been few, the William P. Frye being tho most notable. That ship was sunk by a German cruiser. Of the remain ing six, four were sunk by striking mines.

The Hist Clerk of Oconee county was Jesse \V. Striating, who served four terms (IC years) and never of fered for re-election. Me then re moved to Seneca, where he engaged successfully In the banking business until bis death a few years ago. He was a most efficient and courteous officer-kind and accommodating as a man, a true friend, prominent Ma son, a pure and devoted Christian; and in all tho relations of life, pub lic and private, bis was a character to bo admired and well worthy of imitation. While be was Clerk lt was often remarked that Oconee would nevor have KU?h another Clerk, but w'-.en Janies Seaborn came In it was con ceded that the opinion was a mis taken one. Mr. Stribling and Mr. Seaborn were both gallant soldiers in tho Coi.federate war. Mr. Sea born was aloo in the ofTlce Iii years, and did not. offer any more, but en gaged in private business until his death. He, too, was prominent in church work; a Mason with a char itable heart, a man with a noble soul and true impulses, whose hand was always open to the unfortunte and needy. Then came the inimitable Davis Burns, who made a splendid Clerk for 12 years. He is still living near Walhalla. His virtues, public and private, are too well known to need commendation here, but it may be re marked that he has been styled the .'Adonis of Walhalla"-"the Chaun cey Depew" of social functions, a liberal quoter of Shakespeare and other pools who slug of love and its heavenly delights, ns well as active leader in political meetings, ?weet songster at singing conventions and other places where the charm of mu sic and tho harmony of tho human voice are appreciated. Mr. Burns is comparatively a young man and bids fair to enjoy many more years of use fulness and happiness. Next comes the affable and effi cient Clerk, John P. Craig, the pres ent encumbent, who has proven by his excellent management of the of ice that he merited the confidence the people have placed in him. Mr. Craig is too well known to your readers, for his efficiency as an offi cer, his usefulness as a man and citi zen, as well as bis Christian charac ter, to need any extended remarks here. Both ho and Mr. Burns were too young to serve their country in me War Between the States. 1 Mr. Craig Is a descendant of a family ot soldiers. His great-grand father was a soldier in tho Revolu tionary War, and bis father and sov eral uncles were gallant soldiers in "our war." Two or three of these Craig brothers were killed in battle while defending what they believed to bo a righteous cause. Tho records at Pickens and Wal halla show the popularity of the Craig family by the number of im portant offices which have been held and aro now held by different mem bers of the Craig family-always with honor and credit.
