STATE OF WAR DECLARED HOrSK AM) SENATE PASS WAR RESOLUTION. Senate Acted on Measure Wednesday, and House Followed Suit Thursday Night. Washington, April 4.?The war resolution was passed by the senate tonight by a vote of S2 to 6. It goes to the house, where debate will begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to continue until action is taken. Senators who cast the negative votes were: Gronna, of North Dakota: La Follette, of Wisconsin; Xorris. of Nebraska; Lane, of Oregon; Stone, of Missouri, and Vardaman. of Mississippi. The resolution, drafted after con sultation with the State department and already accepted by the house committee, says the state of war thrust upon the United States by Germany is formally declared and directs the president to employ the entire military and naval forces and the resources of the government to carry on war and bring it to a successful conclusion. Action in the senate came just after 11 o'clock, at the close of a.debate that had lasted continuously since 10 o'clock this morning. The climax was reached late in the afternoon, when Senator John Sharp Williams denounced a speech by Senator La Follette as more worthy of Herr von Bethmann-Hollweg than of an American senator. The passage of the resolution was not marked by any ; urst from the galleries. The senators themselves were unusually quiet. Many of them answered to their names in voices that quivered with emotion. Washington, April 6.?The resolution declaring that a state of war exists between the United States and Germany, already passed by the sen Via haitca chartlv after ALU, paoo^u liv ucg OiiVi ui Wi 3 o'clock this morning by a vote of 373 to 50. Without roll call the house rejected all amendments, including proposals to prohibit the sending of any troops overseas without congressional authority. President "Wilson will sign the resolution today as soon as Vice President Marshall has attached his signature in the senate. It formally accepts the state of belligerency forced by German aggressions and authorizes and directs the president to employ the military and naval forces and all the resources of the nation to bring war against Germany to a successful termination. Passage of the resolution followed seventeen hours of debate. There was no attempt to filibuster, but the pacifist group under the leadership of Democratic Leader Kitchin prolonged the discussion with impassioned speeches declaring conscience would not permit them to support the president's recommendation that a u. J state or war ue uwiaicu. Miss Rankin, of Montana, the only woman member of congress, sat through the first roll call with bowed head, failing to answer to her name, twice called by the clerk. On the second roll call she rose and said in a sobbing voice, "I want to stand by my country, but I cannot vote for war." For a moment then she remained standing supporting herself against a desk and as cries of "Vote! Vote!" came from several parts of the house, she sank back into her seat without voting audibly. She was recorded in the negative. The fifty members who voted against the resolution were: Almon, Bacon, Britten, Browne, Burnett. Cary, Church, Connolly, of Kansas; Cooper, of Wisconsin; Davidson, Davis, Decker, Dill, Dillon, Dominick, Esch, Frear, Fuller, of Illinois; 'Haugen, Hayes, Hensley, Hilliard, Hull, of Iowa; Igoe, Johnston, of South Dakota; Keating, King, Kinkaid, Kitchin, Knutson, La Follette, Little, London, Lundeen, McLemore, Mason, Xelson, Randall, Rankin, Reavis, Roberts. Rodenburg, Shackleford, Sherwood, Sloan, Stafford, Van Dyke, Voight, Wheeler, Woods, of Iowa. Cheers greeted the announcement of the result. A few minutes later Speaker Clark signed the resolution and the house then adjourned to meet again Monday and take up the administration s recouimeuiiauuns iui war legislation.

Government Officers Confirm Hejmrts That German Agents are Busy. Birmingham, April 4.?Reports i that agents of the imperial German government are using Elm Grove, a negro settlement near Greensboro, X. C., as headquarters for a campaign to incite Southern negroes against the government of the United States to day were confirmed by local federal agents. The alleged activities, according to the officials here, have extended to the tobacco and cotton belts of Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas and parts of Florida. These efforts, however, have met with little symnnthv amnne the negroes, who have pledged themselves in large numbers to support the president and render whatever service they could to the nation in case of war. The alleged work of the Germans in the South is believed by the federal agents to be closely allied to the recent exodus from the cotton belt to Northern industrial centres of large bodies of negro laborers. Ku lvlux Klaus. Rumors have reached here that farmers in some agricultural districts have formed Ku Klux Klans to meet possible uprisings or disaffection, but these have not been confirmed by federal authorities here. Government agents declared today that information reaching them led to the belief that in the event of war with Germany is declared efforts will be made by German agents to induce negroes to migrate to Mexico with a view to crippling industries in the South which depend on negro labor. At the United States marshal's office in Jacksonville, Fia., today it was admitted that a close watch is being maintained by federal officers for possible efforts of German agents to incite the negroes. Reports reaching there, it was said, indicate that such efforts have met with no success. Germans Head Wilson's woras. London, April 4.?President Wilson's address to congress, translated into German, is being distributed liberally over the German lines by British aviators. It is understpod the same thing is being done by French aviators. Ancient Advertising. Advertising was well known in the palmy days of Egypt. Of course they didn't have the electric signs blazing across the sky; they didn't know that red makes the best color for advertising, green the second and black the next, but they understood the first principles, and applied them in daily life. Perhaps the first bit of advertising copy was the "lost, strayed or stolen" advertisement written by an Egyptian on a slip of papyrus when his favorite slave was missing. The Greeks had even greater skill. They advertised their concerts, musical affairs, plays and contests. They p-qv^ 11 n tho iripa nf nsine bands to O*** V Wf V..v - ? ?? w attract a crowd, for they sent around their cities a town crier, accompanied by a musician playing a harp or lyre. He praised extravagantly in the best of Greek the thing he was advertising. Later the people began to advertise privately, on the walls of their homes, giving information about the standing of the family occupying the house and the state of their finances. The Romans went them one better. They named their streets, advertised shows, sales and exhibitions in their public bath, notified the public of sales of estates, posted lists of articles lost and found and houses for sale or rent. When the Huns swept down upon Rome the advertisements disappeared with the Roman power, and did not return until the town crier of the middle ages began advertising again. ?Detroit Free Press. WHY SMITH WENT TO CHI KCH. Worked on Lines of Business and Found it Necessary. Smith had got out of the habit of going to church. There were plenty of other people to go, he thought, and he liked to loaf Sunday mornings. Then the thought occurred to him one day: Suppose everybody else should do the same thing. What would become of the churches? Would I be willing to see them go out of business? Would a churchless town be a good town to live in? These ideas were all along business lines, for Smith was accustomed to thinking in terms of business. But thev got in on him enough so that he decided he wouldn't dodge his own responsibility, and he started going to church. Then he found there was something more to it than mere business. It dawned on him that worship, as Dr. Cabot, of Boston, had said in a book, was one of the things men live by, and that religion existed in every part of the world because humanity could not get on without it. So Smith kept on going to church.?Kansas .City Star. SAY ENVOY KILLED CAT. Sir Reginald Tower is Being Proscribed in Argentine Court. The Argentine supreme court is! about to try Sir Reginald Tower. British minister here, 011 the charge of killing a cat. The S. P. C. A. is the prosecutor. Sir Reginald lives in an apartment and the family above owned a fine cat. One night recently the Towers left their door open and this cat strayed in. Somebody speared- it with a sword cane and threw the body from a balcony. The cat's owners appealed to the S. P. C. A., which prosecuted Tower. The case will have to be tried before the supreme court, as only that tribunal lias jurisdiction over diplomats.?Buenos Aires cablegram. Kitten Puts Out Fire. John is only a black and white kitten of nondescript breed, but if there is such a thing as a medal for bravery he certainly has claim upon it. One morning I was sitting before the fireplace, watching John as he lay 011 a hassock on the opposite side, apparently asleep, but he was far from it. We were burning some old trash in the fireplace, and suddenly, with a report like that of a pistol shot, a cinder about as large as a dime came flying through the air and alighted in a basket used by John as a sleeping place. This basket was lined with a woolen cloth and the cinder began to smoulder and an in cipient fire was at once under way. John, giving the call of the cat tribe, pounced on the blazing cloth, tramped it out with his fore feet, and then, when he was quite satisfied it was extinguished, quietly curled up and went to sleep, just as though he had not done a thing that was a wonderful exhibition of feline sense.?Our Dumb Animals. Discovering Columbus. During the recent campaign a Tammany leader on the East Side, a selfmade man and one not entirely completed yet in some respects, was addressing a mass meeting of Italianborn voters on behalf of the Democratic ticket. "Gentlemen and fellow citizens," he began, "I deem it an honor to be permitted to address you upon the issues of the day. I have always had a Hoon aHniiratinn fnr vonr native land. I vinerate the mimory of that great, that noble, Eyetalian who was the original and first discoverer of this here land of ours. "Why gentlemen, at me mother's knee I was taught to sing that inspirin' song, Columbus, the Jim of the Ocean!" Whereupon there was loud applause.?Saturday Evening Post. More Valuable Than Money. A fellow dropped into a local bank the other day and after looking carefully in every direction withdrew a valuable package from his pocket and shoved it at the cashier.

TOXOLLX K IS BKAl l'l A Hi, ANNOUNCES SPECIALIST Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to Women. As health is a first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest. "I can recommend no better health giver than tonoline," said Mildred Louise. "I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches also would add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness. "Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said, 'Take tonoline.' "Xot long after I started the tonoline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty, the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face. "What tonoline really did for me I cannot say. I am so grateful that I am very willing to recommend tonoline publicly." Tonoline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies?stomach and kidney trouble, catarrhal affections of the mucous membranes, liver ailments and impurities of the blood? and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained daily to many people at .Mack's Drug Store, Bamberg. S. C., and Peoples Pharmacy. Denmark. S. C. Notice:?As tonoline is a wonderful flesh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more.
