You want an automobile that will carry you through mud, sand and snow, and do it easily. You want a car that will climb hills, that will get - away quickly without laboring and straining its every part. Not all cars can do these things, but you know that the Maxwell can because you have the proof. When the Maxwell stock touring car set the World's Motor Non-Stop Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it encountered all sorts of unfavorable conditions -rain, mud and hills, over country and city roads ? yet it cov ered 500 miles per day, day after day, for more than six weeks. Power, plenty of power, unfailing power, is absolutely essefitial to such a wonderful performance as this. Let us give you a booklet telliiv,* all the details of this record breaking Maxwell car. And let us tell you r.bout our partial payment plan, by, means of which you can make a cash djposit and pay the balance while you use the car. Give us the oppor tunity and we'll prove our case.

Limit of Patience "The government of the United States has Iivjhi very jmtlent. At every stage of this distressing experience of trage dy after tragedy, in whioh its own citizens were involved, it has sought to he restrained from any extreme course of action or of protest hy a thoughtful consideration of the extraor dinary circumstance of this unprece-'j dented war, and actuated in ail that ft. said or dhi hy the sentiments of] genuine friendship which the jwople of the I 1 1 i t < m I States h?ve always enter- 1 talne<l ami continue to entertain to ward (lie (ierman nation. It. has. of course. accepted the successive explana tions and assurances of the Imperial < ierman government as given in entire sincerity and good faith, and hits hoped, even against lmj>e, that it would prove to he |K>sslhle for the (ierman govern-) ment so to order ami control the acts of its naval commanders as to square! its pol icy w ith the principles of human ity as eihhodi(>d in jp,. pjw of nations. It has l>een willing to wait until the signlllcvince of t Jit* facts became abso lutely unmistakable and susceptible of but one interpretation. "That point, has now unhappily been reached. 'I he facts are susceptible of hut one Interpretation. The lui|H*rial UM-man government has been unable to put any limits or restraints ii|x>n its warfare against either freight or pas senger ships. It has. therefore, become painfully evident that the position which (his government took at the very outset is inevitable, namely that the use of submarines for the destruction ot an enemy's commerce is of necessi ty. because the very elmracter of the vessels employed and the very methods ?f attack whU-h their employment, of course, involves, incompatible with the principles of humanity, tin* long estab lished and incontrovertible rights of neutrals and the sacred immunities of non-combatants. N* Demand on Germany. ? L+ luive deemed It my duty, there-! fore, to say to the lm|>crinl (ierman government that if it is still its pur-' |h>sc to prosecute reh*ntless and indis criminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines, notwithstanding the now demonstrated impossibility of conducting that war fare in accordance with what the gov ernment of the United States must con sider tin* sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the universal ly recognized dictates -of humanity, the government of the United States' is at last forced to the conclusion that there Is but one course It can pursue: and that unless the Imperial (ierman gov ernment should now immediately de clare and effect an abandonment of its present methods of warfare against pas senger and frefltfht-carrylng vessels, this government can have no choice bur to Never diplomatic relations with the gov ernment of the (Jerman empire nlto get her., j "This decision I have arrived at with I the keemvd regret: the possibility of action contemplated. I am sure all! thoughful Americans will look forward to with unaffected reluctance. Hut we con not forget that we are in some sort and hy the force of circumstances, the responsible spokesman of the rights of humanity, and that we can not re main silent while those rights seem in process of being swept utterly away in the maelstrom of this terrible war. We owe it to a due regard for our own rlght.s as a nation, to our sense of duty as a representative of the rights of neu trals the world over, and to a just con ception of the rights of mankind to take this stand now with the utmost solemnity and tirmness. Issue With Germany "I have taken It, and taken It in the confidence that It will meet with your approval and support. All HObei-nilnd <*d men must unite In hoping that the Imperial (ierman government, which lias In other circumstance* stood as the champion of all the interest of humani ty. may recognise the Justice of our de mands and meet them in tin* spirit In wihlch they are made."

' SOI Til CAROLINA POLITICS. If It Interferes With Business in That State Business is Cut Out. "In South Carolina everybody watch es th political game and enjoys seeing it played." said A. B. Jordan, a news paper man of Dillon, S. ('.. at the Haleigh. "We have strong convictions, and. with the average South Caro linian. if politics interferes with busi ness he cuts <?ut the business. We do not elect a Senator this year, but any way the campaign this summer prom ises to be interesting. Former (Jover nor Blease says he is in the race to win. ami Oovernor Mannihg's friends are determined io give him a swond term. I do nut think Solicitor Ooo|>er's coin i nil into the race will hurt Oov enior Manning. They represent the game political faction and their views on all public matters are almost, identi cal, but. there is ;in unwritten law in South Carolina that gives a man the right to succeed himself, and tills sen timent, combined with the deeply root' ed sense of fair play so characterister istie of i ?u r j>eopIe. is very much in Governor Manning's favor. "South Carolina is the only South ern state that still clings to the coun ty-to-county campaign, and a strong ef fort will I H-" made by I he progressive memliers of the party U> abolish the custom lit the state convention to be held in May. Among the intelligent and progressive people the sentiment for its abolition is strong. These meet ings do not serve any good, as the candidates take up much of their time attacking one another's records, and is sues in which the jieople are interested are seldom discussed. "The country us a whole is in much better condition tlitin it was last year. Good crops were realized, and the fair price received for cotton helped pay off past indebtedness and begm the present > ea r with a clean sheet. In this connection I may say that our people are Intensely interested in rural credits legislation, ns they realize that if the rural credits bill is passed in its present form it will be of wonderful benefit, not only to South Carolina but to the entire South." ?
