With this acceptance is coupled for mal notice to Germany that the United States can not for a moment entertain, much less discuss, a sug gestion that respect by German naval authorities for the rights of citizens of the United States on the high seas should in the slightest degree be made contingent upon the conduct of any other government affecting the rights of neutrals and noncombatants. This is in reply to the concluding statement in the last German note to the ef fect that while submarine command ers had been ordered to sink no peace ful freight or passenger carrying ships without warning or without safety for passengers and crew, the German government would reserve to itself complete liberty of decision unless the United SUtes was successful in its efforts to break the British blocade. Question of Performance. Secretary Lansing issued a state ment tonight saying that the greater part of Germany’s answer to the de- mand.of the United States was de voted to matters which the American government could not discuss with the Berlin government, but he considered Germany had “yielded to our repre- sentations,’’ and that “we can have no reason to quarrel with her” so long as the altered policy is lived up to. In Memoriam. of Austrian and New Zealand troops, who have taken over a portion of the altered front. Four more leaders in the Irish re volt have been executed. Resolved that: in commemorating the death of our late associate, Mrs. H. W. Rriggs, who died on the 29th of January 1916, the Blackville Cemetery Association de sires to record iu feelings of sorrow ■t the termination of a Ijfe which has been useful to this community and a Source of uniform pleasure and admi ration to this Association. One of the founders of this society, and continuously its most eftcient presiding officer, the deceased brought to this Association a Sound and inde- pendent judgment on all matter* af fecting alike the welfare of this so ciety and the heat interests of this community. To these inestimable qualities she added the grace* of a noble Christian character, a winning simplicity of de portment, and a genial disposition, all of which endeared her to those who hail the good fortune of asociating with her. The society requests iu secreUry to communicate these sentiment* to the family of the deceased and to as- sure,thcm of its sympathy in their sad bereavment. * Signed by committee, Mrs. C. J.

A Sure Thing. - The fellow whe said that nothing wa* sure but death and taxes, over looked another reasonably sure thing —old age. •• We can’t keep from growing old. It’s inevitable if xsa live at »U But there’s one thing that can be avoided. and that’s a needy and dependent old age. If careful saving habits are formed, if the aaviags are deposited in a reliable "bank like ours, it will be the best provision you can make a- gainst poverty in declining years. Old age will have less regrets for you if you have a comfortable balance in the bank. Bank of Western Carolina iViELjfc. Barnwell, S. C.
