It seems necessary that another turn be (riven to the Armistice screw in order to bring Germany to her knees in the dust, where she belongs. Ever since the latest extension o*f the Armistice, the Germans have grown more and more truculent. Threats against the Allies have been made by the representatives of all classes in Germany, from the "reds," up through the ruck of political riffraff represented by Ebert and the Socialists of various stripes and streaks, and on through the Doktorial and Professorial classes to the highest intelligentsia represented by suoh men as Hauptmann. These men Must realize that such threats are worse than iseless. The Associated Powers ? we must demobilize this long and awkward phrase to simple "Allies"?are in position to crush Germany to powder. As General Gouraud cooly informed the officials of Wisebaden, '"We have the will and the power," a1! 11 IlfCtSHUry. llicy inuat us playing to "galleries" that we do not see, and trusting to a psychology that we do not understand. But whatever may be the explanation, it must soon cease. The Supreme War Council has determined that it must cease. ^ The Armistice must be renewed 17. and new and terms will be imposed. Not ofrly will the reluctant Germans L?eNforced to meet at once the previous terms and conditions, but they will be made to accept still severer terms that will make it utterly impossible for them to talk war or to think war. The foolish blusterers will have only themselves to blame. They and their people will have to pay for a vainglorious effort to pose as "unbeaten," even in the very presence of the victors. The new terms of the Armistice will doubtless make that instrument virtually part of the peace terms themselves. They will reveal very fully, no doubt, the nature, perhaps the extent, of the conditions that the conquerers of German and Turk will impose unon the malicious J-'-i 1 r i uisiuroers 01 universal peace.? The State. Gathering Their Forces. Quietly, unostentatiously, but with a union of effort that shows a serious purpose and bespeaks success for Chat purpose?the Methodists of the country are gathering their forces for a gigantic campaign. The movement, to be known as the Centenary Campaign, is two-fold in "purpose: first, a revivified church and second, a church with sufficient financial resources to meet the opportunities snd obligations of today. The M. E. church. South, is centering its forces and rallying its members in the Southern and Western States, while from one end of Methodism to the other the challenge of the church has gone forth. A newspaper correspondent. not a member ot the congregation, was present recently at a meeting of the executives who are back of the movement. This correspondent declared that "the men behind the guns of this Centenary campaign went into that meeting on their knees and came out of it on their knees, while between times they worked out the most practicable plan for a mammoth drive I have ever witnessed." This looks as though the church was uniting spiritual, fervor with practical business' methods, and the result of such a union holds potent possibilities for the church of the immediate future.

The time in which applications maV be made to the government for nitrate of soda at $81 a ton. f. o. b. ports, has been extended to Febtuary 15. The necessary application blanks may be obtained from any of the banks of the county. Sheriff Thomas and Deputy Sheriff J. E. Watkins of Cherokee, captured a distillery Friday about fourteen mites from Gaffney on the waters of Big Thicketv creek. Two whjte men were at worK wnen the officers arrived but both made their escape, carrying with them a jug which the officers suppose contained whiskey. The still was located at a place which it was very difficult to approach quietly, which accounts for the fact that the men succeeded in making their escape. The State convention of the W. O. W., which waB to have been held in Rock Hill on March 18 and 19, is to be held in Spartanburg instead. The reason for the change, according to Mr. Max G. Bryant, who conferred with the executive cornmitte in Columbia, is becanse health conditions in Rock Hill, and the possibility that the quarantine now in force, might suddenly be reinstituted on short notice. The Women's Auxiliary of the W. O. W.t which was to have met in Rock Hill at the same time, may also be changed to Spartanburg. Kaiser Carefully Trained. They did everything in their power to fit William II for the burdensome task which awaited him, says Maurice Muret in the Atlantic Monthly. being solicitous to make of him a mah sound of body and in mind, they attached equal importance to bodily exercises and intellectual tasks. The prince was born with a withered left arm, so that he was manifestly unfitted for most kinds of sport. Nevertheless, a methodical system of training made him an accomplished sportsman. As a child he showed marked predilection for aquatic sports and performed some genuine exploits in that field. The ponds of Potsdam held no mysteries f nr Viin-i T n V?Jc V.; I? J ? l? ....... ah mo <iiiuua> s ne traversed them in all directions, in all weathers. It is told of him one day, between 6 o'clock in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, he accomplished an itinerary including the circuit of the Isle of Potsdam and a trip to the Isle of Peacocks?in all, going and returning, about 42 kilometers. It was on Wednesdays and Saturdays, during the summer months, that the young prince performed these prodigies. Accompanied by his younger brother. Prince Henry, and a tutor, he would set out at dawn and not return till evening. They lunched on an island on eatables which they had taken good care to fetch, and which they warmed in the ashes of a huge fire of dead branches, playing that they were Indian chiefs on a hunting trip.
