GKIiMAXY SAYS l\ S. ACgi'IKSCK.
States Allies are lleceivinj; Shipments
of War Supplies.
Washington. April 9.?Germany
lias sent to tlie I'nited States a note
complaining that the latter has accomplished
nothing In its diplomaticcorrespondence
with the allies to obtain
fnr American exnorters the right
to ship foodstuffs to the civilian population
of a belligerent country. The
communication intimates also that
the United States has virtually acquiesced
in the British order in council
prohibiting commerce with Germany.
In view of these considerations
Germany calls attention to the fact
that the allies daily are obtaining
large shipments of arms and ammunition
from dealers in the United
States, and declares that the American
government, while insisting on
its legal right to ship arms to belligerents.
does not with equal energy
pursue its ngnt to snip loousums
and non-contraband articles to the
civilian population of Germany.
The note urges that, irrespective
of the formal aspects of the question)
of shipping arms to belligerents, the
spirit of neutrality should be observ
ed. In support of this contention a
quotation is cited from President
Wilson's address to congress on .Mexican
affairs in August, 1913. when he
I said:
"I shall follow the best practice of
nations in the matter of neutrality
by forbidding the exportation of arms
or munitions of war of any kind from
the United States to any part of the
republic of Mexico?a policy suggested
by many manifest considerations
of practical expediency. We cannot,
in the circumstances, be partisans of
either party to the contest that now
distracts Mexico, or constitute our
. selves the virtual umpire .between
them."
Officials of the State department
have begun the preparation of a ret
ply. The complaint that neutral
countries had submitted to the influence
of the allies in connection
with the right to ship conditional
contraband has been made before by
Germany in her diplomatic notes?
this being cited by the German for;
' .- eign office as one of the reasons for
proclaiming a submarine war zone
of the waters surrounding Great Britain
and Ireland. The United States
j~.1 mi?|? then that it had I
111 * to ivfv
been silent on the question and called
attention to its diplomatic notes
to Great Britain dealing with the situation.
It is understood that the reply to
the present complaint will deny vigorously
that this government has acquiesced
in any way to the order in
council, and probably will refer to
the last note sent by the United
States to Great Britain arguing at
!ength in opposition to the viewpoint
of the allies 011 the blockade question.
As for the utterances of the president
on the shipment of arms into
Mexico, officials here hold that the
Mexican situation constitutes a special
case, in no way comparable with
the relations between the United
States arfd the European belligerents.
Officials pointed out that the president
said in the same address to congress
:
*I deem it my duty to exercise
! 3-,
' y. he authority conferred upon me by
the law of .March 14. 1912, to see to
it that neither side of the struggle,
now going on in Mexico, receive any
assistance from this side of the bor
I
uci.
. There is no law by which the president
of the United Sta,tes. it was declared.
could exercise the same auhority,
even if he were desirous of
forbidding the exportation of arms
to all belligerents, as to do so without
authority from congress would |
be unconstitutional.
The viewpoint of the American
government has been from the outset
that its position will respect to thei
shipment of arms has been enforced!
impartially as to all belligerents, and,
Secretary Bryan's letter to Chairman j
Stone, of the senate foreign relations
committee, discussed this point, con-j
" tended that if the Germanic allies
were unable to enjoy the same advantages
as to the delivery of arms
into their country, this was due to
the naval superiority of Great Britain
and not to any circumstances
over which the United States had
any control.

Hampton. April 12.?George F.
Is Fennel), a constable, shot and killed
James Riley, a mill hand employed !
by the Hampton and Branchville Rail-j
road Lumber company, here tonight.!
It seems that the oflicer went to the
house of a man named Miley to ar-;
rest Riley, that after gaining admit-!
tance to the house he waked Riley
and told him to put on his clothes:
that Riley jumped out of the window
and endeavored to escape and the
constable opened fire, shooting several
times. The last shot struck1
Riley in the head, killing him instantly.
Constable Fennell is in custody and

SOI TH CAROLINA MILITARY. ]
State Would lie Requested to Furnish!
<>,."?J)0 of Army of 400,(MM) Men. j
The adjutant general's office is in J
receipt of information from the di-j
vision of militia affairs at Washing-!
ton. says a Columbia dispatch, pre- (
scribing the quota of troops each
State would be required to furnish
in case the Cnited States should be (
! required to put an army of 400.000
j men in the field. The national war j (
i department finds that this State |
J would have to furnish 6,.">90 men. j 1
i The United States has been divid-1
| ed into twelve organized militia di- L
! visional districts with the idea that ,
[ each of these districts will maintain j
a complete tactical division. The
field service regulations prescribe
(that a tactical division shall consisf j "
j of three brigades, nine regiments of J ^
j infantry, one regiment of cavalry, j
j one brigade of field artillery, two
I regiments: one battalion of engin!
eers. three companies: one battalion ^
of signal troops, two companies: onej ^
[ammunition train, four ambulance j
j companies and three field hospital ^
companies.

cavalry. The war department is
making strenuous efforts to have the
governors of the various States organize
units along the lines suggest1- j
ed by the general staff of the army
and contained in the letter to the ad- *
jutant general.
Under the plan of organization by ^
the war department, two regiments
of South Carolina infantrv and one
a
Florida regiment have been designated
the 26th brigade of the 9th divis
sion.
?
Based on a call of 400,000 men to
\
arms, South Carolina would furnish
* c
6,.">90, divided as follows: Five coma
panies of coast artillery, 5.*>3 men;
one troop cavalry, 100 men: three
- .. . J
batteries of field artillery, o.iz men,
one company of engineers, 184 men; J
one ambulance company, one field
hospital company 14C men; two regiments
of infantry, 3,720 men; others
c
required. 1,320 men for headquarr
ters and transportation.
Governor Manning on January 26,
V
wrote to the secretary of war that he
stood ready to cooperate with the
United States war department in
bringing the national guard of this ?
State up to the army requirements.
The governor has also assured Ad- *
jutant General Moore that he will tt
back him up in his endeavor to make
the State militia organization one of
the best in the South.
Major Caldwell said that with the
small appropriation made by the general
assembly that it will be impossible
to support three regiments. In a
orMitinn tn this the war deDartment c
has increased the minimum strength v
of a regiment of infantry to 990 men v
and officers and the maximum v
strength of 1,915. One of the regi- ti
ments will have to he disbanded as e
the war department plans call for tl
only two regiments of this State. c
The Bismarck Centenary.
But for the war the centenary of ^
Bismarck's birth would be celebrated
e
on April 1 with great pomp and circumstance
throughout Germany. Yet a
though the war interferes with that,
it has given new significance and emphasis
to the occasion. The work of a
his hands is receiving a crucial test;
the empire which he created is pass- t(
ing through a fiery ordeal the issue
of which no one can with confidence
predict. It has become commonplace
>to say that if Bismarck had been in 0
command this could not have happened:
certainly it would not have
been likely to happen in just the actual
way. Yet in a very true sense .
what is happening is a product of the
forces to which he gave direction and ?
helped to as much as one man may to '
create.
Nobody knew better than Bismarck
what an anxious legacv he left be- ^
f
bind him. When against his better
judgment he had yielded in 1ST 1 to
o
the demand for the annexation of .
Alsace-Lorraine lie understood per- 11
fectly that it meant insuring for Germany
a bitter and lasting enmity
s
with France and that Germany's policy
for a long time to come would
have to be shapped by this vital fact. a
p
The boldest as well as the most
ruthless of modern statesmen, Bismack
was also one of the most cautious.
War he resorted to without jj!
scruple, but never without making
r
sure of success in advance. And
when with three mighty strokes of a
the Thor hammer he had welded his ^
empire together, he was wise enough
g
and cautious enough to see that the
time had come to put safety first. 1
The thought of hostile conditions, he 3
g
said, gave hint nightmares. Beyond
a certain point a state can not go j
without provoking jealousy and fear,

the friction and hostility which thej
portent creates. Bismarck realized j
his^perfectly, and having one power- '
ful foe to reckon with, he preferred
to curb ambitions rat Iter than risk
making more enemies. Austria and)
i S
Italy he made sure of and he held)"
it for a cardinal policy that* neither I ^

HOW TO OKT l>Iir\K.
K\|?ert (iivcs Sound Advice to New
lle-iinners.
From Dr. \V. A. Evans, medical expert
of "The World's Greatest Newspaper."
and former health officer of
Chicago, we learn how a sensible
man would go about getting drunk.
The shocked reader may object
that "a sensible man wouldn't get
Jrunk," but let's not argue about
[hat. The point is, that most men
ivlio indulge in spiritous excesses are
,-ery stupid in staging the performance.
Whether they do it without preneditation
or in a "going-to-get-drunkmd-gosh-how-I-dread-it"
spirit, they
jlunder in the execution, and suffer
innecessarily. So here is Dr. Evans'
system?take it or leave it:
To begin with don't get drunk
.vhen you have a cold. The cold may
)e an excuse for a "jag." but it's a
joor foundation for it.
The same is true of weariness.
Don't get drunk when you're tired, or
ou simply add alcohol fatigue to
latural fatigue. If you are tired
vhen the inspiration strikes you. rest
tp for a day or two.
Then, before starting the celebraion.
take a dose of salts or castor
>il.
Now, you're ready. If you must
jet drunk, why go ahead and drink!
fhnnsp a clean./-well ventilated
)lace to do it in. Don't hang around
i hot stove in a close room, on a
lirty floor sprinkled with sawdust
md pneumonia gerins. You need
resh air?oxygen?to burn up the
ilcohol.
Before you reach the unconscious
tage, pick out the place where you're
roing to sleep it off. It should be a
vell-aired room, cool, but not too
:old. Be sure the window is open,
md you have enough bedclothes to
;eep you from being chilled when
our vitality ebbs low, as it will while
our system is working to throw off
he poison.
When you wake up, you'll have a
leadache, a bad taste and a dry
ough. Take some calomel or com?ound
cathartic pills and one dose of
leadache medicine, and drink a lot of
cater. Now, take a little nourishnent?say
a glass of milk and a cup
if coffee, then a package of chewing
;um. After that, get outdoors and
ake some exercise. In a day or two
ou'll feel fairly decent again.
Rut " thp shoekerl reader objects.
if getting drunk involves all that
rouble and inconvenience, why get
runk at all?"
School "Parsonages."
The Newberry Herald and News
dvocates "parsonages" for teachers.
>f course, "parsonage" is not the
rord, but the idea is similar to proiding
residences for pastors. It
. ould seem to be a good idea for the
eachers to be provided with homes,
specially in country districts, so that
he teacher and his family could benme
a part of the community life,
t would greatly aid in securing cometent
teachers and keep them. But
he Herald and News does not sugest
what to do when the teachers
re not married. Perhaps they would
11 get married.?Bamberg Herald.
The school to which we referred
s having visited in Richland county,
nd w^hich had some six or seven
eachers, did not have any that were
carried, and yet they kept house and
ved for about six dollars the month
ach. They kept house or looked
ut for the purcnasing ana so on uy
urns. The principal was a young
lan and the assistants were young
idies, and they lived as one family
i a house adjoining the school buildig.
and in connection with the
rounds they had a garden and
aught gardening and agriculture and
orticulture in a practical way.
Of course, it would be better if the
rincipal of the school were married,
or then the idea we had in mind of
he teacher becoming a part of the
ommunity and interested personally
ti everything that went to the adancement
of the community would
e carried out. The plan is the ideal
chool and the time is not far disant
when it will be in operation in
, number of the more progressive
ural communities.
The plan of the teacher living on
he school grounds and becoming
art of the community life is the idea
?rof. Tate told us about after he
ptnrned from a visit to Switzerland,
nd those who heard his admirable
Ilustrated lecture will remember that
ie not only told about them, but
howed on the screen the homes of
he teachers and the school buildings
nd the class rooms. We advocated
uch a plan before Prof. Tate went
o Switzerland. It is the only plan
iy which to have efficient schools in
lie rural districts. There are several
chool districts in Newberry countyi
rhere such a plan is practical and >
ouid be put in operation. It will
ake time for the people to see and
inderstand the good of such a plan,
hit it is coming. We would like to
ee Newberry county one of the
ioneers.?Newberry Herald and
Cews.
