Has Xo Political Entity.
The Poland oi 17 15 was iarger
than any other European country,
with the exception of Russia. Today
it has no political entity, says the
National Geographic society, in a
statement. Two centuries ago its
domain reached from the Baltic to
the Carpathians, and stretched ironi
east to west for a distance of approximately
six hundred miles.
"The tirst partition of Poland
came in 1772, when Prussia and
Austria, alarmed by the progress of
Russia in Poland, suggested, as a
means ot maintaining the equilibrium
of Europe, that all three powers readjust
their territories at the expense
of Poland," reads the society's
j bulletin. "Poland lay utterly helpless.
She lost about one-fifth of
her population and one-tourth of her
territory.
"The second partition, in 1 793, re/
duced Poland to one-third of her
original dimensions, with a population
of about 3,500,000. A third
treaty of partition was signed in
1796.
"The congress of Vienna, in IS 15,
divided Poland between rrussia,
Austria and Russia,'with the exception
of Cracow, which was erected
into a republic embedded in Galicia.
Posen and Gnesen. with a population
of S10.000, were left to Prussia.
' Austria remained in possession of
Galicia, with its 1,500,000 inhabitants.
Lithuania and the Ruthenian
palatinates continued to be incorporated
with Russia. The remnant
was constituted as the so-called congress
kingdom, under the emperor
of Russia as the king of Poland.
"In the same year Czar Alexander
I granted the new kingdom a constitution
which declared it to be
united to Russia, in the person of
\
the czar, as a separate political eni
tity, Poland retained its flag and a
national army, in 1830. following
the outbreak of the French revolution.
a military revolt took place in
Warsaw. This lasted for ten months
and at the conclusion the congress
kingdom was reduced to the position
L of a Russian province. The last remaining
remnant of Poland's fceparate
political existence was Cracow,
and it was Anally occupied by Austria
in 184 6. The last attempt of
the Poles to achieve independence
was in 1863. It was marked by no
real battle and the uprising was soon
regressed. The national history or
Poland closes with this attempt at
freedom. In 1868. by an ukase of the
emperor of Russia, the government
was absolutely incorporated with that
of Russia and the use of the Polish
language in public places and for
public purposes was prohibited,
i,- "Russian Poland contains the firsi
line of defence of the Russian Em'
pire on its western frontier. The
marshy lowlands, covered with forests
on the western bank of the Vis?
tula, offer a natural defence against
i
an army advancing from the west,
and they are strengthened by a number
of fortresses on that 'river. The
centre of these latter is Warsaw.
"The Poles are rather of medium
stature and well built. Those in the
south are dark and in the north are
inclined to be fair. For several years
past the German element has been
annually increasing, both in number
and in influence, in Russian Poland.
From remote antiquity Poland has
, been celebrated for the production
and export of grain. Since lSTT,
there has been a remarkable development
of manufacturing enterprise.
The railroads of Russian Poland
have an aggregate length of 1.300
miles.
"The entire administration of the
province is under the governor-general
residing at Warsaw. After the
insurrection of 1863 all towns with
less than 2.000 inhabitants were deprived
of their municipal right. The
elective municipal councils were practically
abolished and Russian officers
nominated in their places. The
prevalent religion is Roman Catholic.

Columbia. April The passage
of a half century of time was temporarily
forgotten today while the remnant
of the heroes of the Confederate
armies contributed to that gallant
cause by South Carolina gathered in ^
Columbia for their annual reunion. 1
The streets and business houses were
gay with bunting and everywhere the ^
stars and bars waved bravely to the
soft April breeze. The city, which
was laid in ashes fifty years ago by
Sherman's army, threw wide her
gates and received with open arms
the men who followed Lee and -lackson
and Hampton and Butler and
the other famed leaders of that
epoch-making conflict.
Several hundred survivors of the
ch
Confederacy were assembled in the ^
Columbia theatre this morning at 10 eg]
o'clock when .Mr. W. A. Clark, com- xt
mander of Camp Hampton, called the in<
gathering to order. The stage and thi
theatre were tastefully decorated of
with Confederate flags and growing thi
flowers. Grouped on the stage were ca
the sponsors and maids of honor, 8e'
making a beautiful background to the ?

The Columbia Mills band kept the f0j
old soldiers enthusiastic with the ch
songs that they sang when going into Tl
battle a half century ago. And
"Dixie" always brought the "Rebel"
yell. Mingled with the war songs of
the Confederacy were the national
songs, and even "Tipperary," the

marching song or tne tjritisn. was not
forgotten. fli:
The exercises were opened by the ^(
singing of the "Doxology." led by
Mr. F. F. Whilden, of the Y. M. C. A., bt

joining in the singing. The invoca- tit

The Functions of a Rural Church.
II the rural churches today are gog
to ' ender a service which this age
mands, there must be co-operation
tween the religious, social and ecomic
life of the community.
The church to attain its fullest mease
of success must enrich the lives
the people in the community it
rves; it must build character; develthought
and increase the efficiency
human life. It must serve the soil,
business and intellectual, as well
the spiritual and moral side of life.
