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,

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

The High Cost of Si?orts.
Sports come high, but we must
have them. A billiard player insures
his hand for $100,000. A baseball
pitcher earns So every time he hurls
the ball. A football coach gets double
the salary of a United States senator.
Prize fighters have made more
than $1,000 a minute. Prettv
for men to be able to do that, but I
once saw a horse capture more than
$",0,000 in two minutes.?Philadelphia

EFFORTS TO INCITE NEGROES.
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.

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

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. "Put
it in the vault quick, and give me a
receipt," he said. The cashier gingerly
unwrapped the package, took
one look, and all but fainted. It was
an onion.?Manning Times.

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. Although many reports are
received from those who have been
benefited by tonoline in severe cases
of stomach trouble and nervous
