Emperor William of Germany. _ nn ally of Austria, demanded that the ;’*ar stop his military preparations. The Cxar paid no attention to this demand, and on the first of August Germany declared war against Kus- eig. Italy had been expected to help taken any part in the war. She began to help her ally Russia. On August 2. the Germans started to- >thrd Parts and took possession of several of her french provinces. England asked the German Em peror In notice and respect the neu- IrsllL ^f Belgium. The Belgians quickly put an army of 200,000 men in the flel<f and fierce struggles, which have caused much trouble throughout the entire tvorld, began. Ital yhad been expected to help Austria and Germany, but she did not. Italy said thgt this plea had been made for defense and not ag gres«ion. On August 4. Germany declared, war upon France and France then declared war on Germany. * The Germans then attacked the Bel gian cities War between Great Britain and Germany began. On August 6. Austria declared war on Russia. August 7. Montenegro de clared war against Russia. August 19. Japan an ally of Great Britain sent an ultimatum to Germany. Eleven nations are now involved in the war.

(By Miss Ibbie Lyons.) From earliest history some of the physical features of the earth have been great barriers to human prog ress. There was a time when the deserts were considered impassable. Even now the great Andes moun tains present, to an extent, the commercial intercourse of the wes tern 'and eastern South American republics. Either extreme of cli mate is a great hindrance to prog ress. The tropical sun is conducive to laziness and ill health, while the polar regions are Ice choked, and hence natural barriers to human progress. But no natural condition or physical hindrance Is to he com pared with the great barrier of ig norance. There are just a few inventors who. as my choice suddenly appear high on the role of fame. But our steady progress is due ta that faith ful company who spend years in preparation, and who dare not un dertake anything great until by general and spceail education they have equipped themselves for their work. Instead of the rude vessels of the past venturing but little beyond the then known world, education has brought into use the monster float ing palace of today; education and scientific invention, the telograph, and cab’e lines which have brought j the remotest parts of the wbrld into vital touch with one another Hh- man skill ha* brought machlnerv and conveniences into every phase of life, and these have been the past 1 he progr Moo countv. within our. ijietnor? hr** m verv marked in different 1 In the first place, many buildings have been in (driven .dut.; for th" cliilii?en, while a ie." years a CO they 'had to go Severn', ’nil* ' to fie neare-t school. There u.i-< no »< omfort in them, being mainly log hub- with only three or four windows, and the’rough ib-k* in each of which several pupils Ral to crowd. The heat was very in- 'UlTblent with one iliitnney for fifty ..r sixty children to lie warmed’by. \ow we have pood houses with glass pains to give, light. They are fur- nfshed "with good heaters to keep them warm. Furthermore. Instead of having one teacher the most of them have three. This alone means a great deal of them. It gives the teachers time to do their work in the right manner. They have ttme to give every child justice and keep them in their place-. The terms have been lengthened to great extent in every school. Th» patrons have voted on special taxes in order to lengthen the terms and to better the schools. It did not take long to perceive that the children could not get an education in three months out of the year and a special ne cessity that they should have long er terms /tind other convenienaes. So much for the improvements in Colleton. ■* I will say a few words rtf the slate as -I presume the same condi- tiops are prevalent atl over the state common school system. I need not say much about it. more than I did of Colleton schools. But the iii- crease In colleges and their educa tion are very great- and a very hap py consumniation. Glad am I to see our state with so many high institu tions of learning. I wish them all success of the greatest degree. In the IT. S.. we can get only hear say information, but my knowledge Is that North. East. South and West carry on schools like crock work. In many places they have compulsory education where the patrons have nothing to say about their children going to school. The government has taken charge so that it might provide schools and then see that the children attend. Having treated of the educational Improvements there are many other important questions that are prom inent in our minds today. The subject of woman suffrage is one that dates back further than the average person might suppose and haul its origin in a source which, were it more generaIIv known. I am sure our women^of our dear southland wotrid not contend for one moment.

May you, old school, continue to i grow and prosper. We sincerely hope that you will have hearty co operation in every way. There Is] never anything so good that it can’t be made better. The patrons and iriMees are doing everything in their power to make the best bet-1 ter. They are not easily satisfied w ilh little things, they are looking up to something he^tep every year.
