URGES NATIONS TO MAKE PEACE PRESIDENT SENDS FRIENDLY NOTE TO RUSSIA AND JAPAN No Meditator is Needed-Belliger ents Are Advised to Open Direct Negotiations. Washington. June 9.-The first pos itive move for peace in the Far East "has bee, made and to President Roo . belongs the credit of hav ing .ade it. Feeling assured that a suggestion from him in the direction of ending the war would not be unwelcome to either belligerent, he acted with char acteristic directness and promptness in placing fairly an: squarely be fore the governments of Russia and Japan a proposition that they get to gether without tht aid of any third party and arrange terms for ending the war. The president's proposal was sub mitted in the forin of identical notes, telegraphed yesterday to the Ameri can diplomatic representatives at St. Petersburg and Tokio, with instruc tions to present them to the Russian and Japanese governmen' -. Tonight, after information was received that the notes had been delivered to the foregin offices of the belligerent pow. ers, Mr. Loeb, the secretary to the president, made public the text of the identical communication. It follows: The President's Note. On June 8 the following despatch was sent by..the president, through diplomatic channels, to the Japanese and Russian governments: "The president feels that the time .hs come when in the interest of all mankind he must endeavor to see if it is not possible to bring to an end the terrible and lamentable conflict now being waged. With !both Russia and Japan the United States has inherited ties of friendship and good will. It hopes for the prosperity and welfare of each, and it feels that the progress of the world is set back by the war between those two great nations. "The president accordingly urges the Russian and Japanese govern ments not only for their own sakes, but in the interest of the whole civi lized world, to open direct negotia tions for peace with each other. The president suggests that those peace negotiations be conducted directly and exclusively between the belliger ents; in other words, that th'ere may be a meeting of Russian and Japa nese plentipotentiaries or delegates wtihout any intermediary, in order to see if it is not possible for those rep resentatives of the two powers to agree to terms of peace. The presi dent earnestly asks that the Russiait government do now. agree to such a meeting and is asking the Japanese government likewise to agree. "While the president does not feel that any intermediary should be call ed in in respect to the peace negotia tions th'emselves. he is entirely win ing to do what he properly can, if the two powers concerned feel that his services will be of aid in arranging the preliminaries as to the time and place of meeting. But if evern these prelimi naries can be arranged directly be tween the two powers, or in any oth er way, the president will be glad. as his sole purpose is to bring aboui. a meeting which: the whole civilized world will pray may result in peace. The president was assured before he determined upon the course he has pursued, that neither Russia nor Japan would be offended over any di rect peace proposals submitted tt them jointly. Russia is waiting for Japan to fix the place when and where the Japanese terms will be placed in the hands of Russia's representatives. It is expected that the delay will be brief. The emperor's government prefers Paris. shall be the scene of the initial step. Tokio received the news of Amer. ican interventions and prospective peace calmly. H recognizes that thi final consummation of peace involves the adjustment of a series of ques tions of paramount importance Nevertheless thre is the keenest in terest over the preliminary step, and a feeling of genuine gratefulness foi President Roosevelt's action. There ialso genuine thanksgiving at the thought that the carnage and horror: and waste of war will soon end, and a genuine hope that the negotiation! will bring a satisfactory and endur !ng peace Death of Mrs. Rebecca Kinard.

LEY BROS. RGAINS ITUR E LD GOODS SRY. S. C. tmih*As To Life It might be well for those who are thinking of taking out a life insurance policy to read the following extracts from a talk to the agents of the Pacific Mutual Life: Have you stopped to consider what a gem you have in your hands in the Ideal policy of the Pacific? Do you realize what it means- to offer a man life, health and accident in one policy and to add to that, payment of the principal of the policy for perma nent disability? Where can you find such a policy? Who has it for sale? Who can compete with you for a moment? Did you ever think that one might need insurance money more in life than in death? How many thousands lose their in surance through inability to pay pre miums caused by accident or sickness? How can you insure your insured when wages stop and expenses in crease? How can one buy medicine and food and pay doctor bills and insurance pre miums while sick with fever or laid up with a broken leg? How can he provide for his family and himself for a long series of years if he becomes totally and permanently disabled by accident or through illness? The ideal policy answers all these questions, solves all these problems. It costs less money than life and ac cident combined, and life and health combined, and it gives the full benefit of each and adds full payment during life of the face of the policy for total and permanent disability. It pays the face value to the family ROBERT NORRIS,( Office over Postoffice. MILLINERY, DRY CDI Have you purchased y to us. We can give you Do you need a new dr us.

It pays a weekly sum to the insured in case he is hurt and cannot work. It pays a weekly sum to him if he is sick and compelled to stay at home. It furnishes money to pay the premiums on his policy while he is hurt or sick and this insures his policy to be paid to his family should he finally die of accident or illness. It pays him his whole insurance in ten equal installments should he from. accident or sickness be totally disabled r lose his hands or his feet or his eye sight. It provides for him and his family while he recovers from an accident; t takes care of him and his dear ones while he lies tossing on a sick bed; it assures the payment of the premium )n his policy so that he can feel secure in the payment of the face of his policy should he finally fail to recover; it pro vides for his comfort, the education of his children and preservation of his home for ten years after he is disabled, and if he dies before the ten years for the yment of any balance that has not been received in the years he has had his annial payments.
