When lacking something else to do
that is idle, you can throw off on the
Legislature. You can hardly tell
what you would do if you were there.

Time lost today can never be re-!
gained tomorrow, no matter how soon
a start you get; for the morrow always
has its own work and responsibilities
to be attended to, and they
will not bear putting off.

Some men will waste money it
aaabes no difference what the circumstances
under which they find themselves,
provided they have the money.
This country will see the time when
there will be no forest lands anywhere
within its confines. The entire South
will be one vast field.
More and more the people look with
suspicion on the man *ho comes
around offering something for less
money but something just m good.

A certain man the other day said he
guessed that every man these days

about right.

One of the biggest problems confronting
Germany today is the means
whereby the country can procure a
sufficient supply of foodstuffs.
One thing is certain and that is that
the people of the South must quit
wearing woolen goods and learn to
use cotton cloth more and more in the
making of garments.
? ?
Nearly every farmer you talk with
says that he intends to plant some
cotton. Nearly all say they will not
plant as much as they did in past
years.

Some men and women are so inaccurate
in what they do that they cannot
read an article in a newspaper
without getting a wrong meaning in
their minds. Like a Chinaman they
read the print backwards.

The farm demonstration agent for

of the county when they come to

The effort now being made by the
department of education in this State
is to have a common school term that
will last live months out of the year
in every community, and to guarantee
that every boy and girl in South
Carolina can read and write the
Mnglish language. Let the whole poopic
put their shoulders to the wheel
and bring about this result, which in
fact is cas\ to do when we decide that
it shall be done.

13ACUEl\IOLOCiV OK WOUNDS
IN THE WAR.
The European war has developed
hitherto unused and unexpected methods
of warfare. It has also brought
new problems in military surgery and !
new aspects of surgical bacteriology.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association lias published foreign correspondence
indicating the peculiar
nature of some of the wounds encountered
and referring to some of the
characteristics of the wound infections
and their consequences following the
injuries received on the battlefields.
The reports of some of the bacteriologists
conducted in the French hospitals
serve to explain some of the conscquen
cos and to indicate the surgical procedures
that may be called for in the
management of the wounded on the
French and Belgian frontiers. Metchnikoif
states that wounds produced
by bullets are frequently free from
micro-organisms occasonally found in
almost pure culture, notably in penetrating
wounds of the skull and in
simple bullet wounds of limbs. Some
are of only slight virulence, and erysipelas
is reported in few instances.
In most of the open wounds foreign
substances such as shrapnel balls,
fragments of shells and pieces of
clothing are present. The germs of
gangrene and tetanus arc also found.
In a report to the sanitary service of
the British army in France, Weinberg
argues that it is logical to assume
that these organisms found in the
wounds are of intestinal derivation.
The earth in the trenches from which
those suffering with gangrene were

jcct* and manure. Remnants of filthy
clothing likewise find their way into
the wounds.

AMERICAN PROPOSALS
BEIN6 CONSIDERED
Both in London and in Berlin,
But No Definite Answer
RESENT DELICATE HINT
Just Nhat Conclusion will Come
As Result of Negotiations
is Unknown.
The proposals of Washington to
Groat Britain and Germany which are
in Londum assumed to embrace abandonment
of Germany's self-declared
war zone and adoption by the belligerents
of some definite policy regarding*
foodstuffs for the civilian population,
have noticeably quickened tin*
public interest both in this country
[ and in Germany in this delicate diplomatic
publication.
The British press in general is restrained
in tone, but the average
Englishman plainly resents what he

tcrfcrc with the absolute blockade of
I Germany should Great Britain can
! to enforce it with her sea power.
Meanwhile, in spite of the sinking
of four more British merchantmen, involving
the loss of four lives. G"cat
Britain still holds off from declaring
food destined to Germany to he contraband.
It is believed if this step is
taken it will he postponed until the
American proposal has been discussed
at length.
? f I
Ju.-i what this proposal is the public
boHi ia London and^ in Berlin, is un!
aware. Its only information has been'
the meagre and qualified dispatches
from Washington. There seems no
doubt, however, that Great Britain
will reserve the right to declare food J
contraband at any time she deems it
neecsary, especially as Germany's so-j
called blockade litis been forced with
ail tho power Germany has at her:
command for a week past.
How the British cabinet feels about
the matter would appear to have been!
plainly indicatod by statements made)
by Foreign Secretary Grey,. Premier
Asquith and First Lord of the Admiralty
Churchill, all of which have mere
than hinted that drastic retaliatory
measures might be expected at any
moment.
Now that the Russians have made a
stand on their own soil, news of the j
lighting in the East has become aj
mass of contradictory statements
and counter claims. The German j
claim of a victory in Poland are cir- j
cumstantial and detailed. The Rusi
sion denials, while emphatic, arc
sweeping and general.
It would appear that at the present
moment neither the Austrians nor the
Germans are making headway anywhere
on the line from the Baltic to
tlie Carpathians.
WASHINGTON RECEIVES!
NO FURTHER WORD
On Sea Proposals Made by This I
Country to Belligerents
INFORMAL IN ITS NATURE
Both Sodes, it is Understood,
Are Still Considering the
Suggestions Made by This
Country.
Washington, Feb. 27.?No word
came either from Great Britain or
Germany concerning their attitude on ,
the American government's proposals
for the removal of mines, the abandonment
of submarine warfare on
merchant ships and the shipment of
foodstuffs to the civilian population
of belligerents.
Both sides were understood still to
be considering the Washington administration's
suggestions and replies
were not expected for two or
three days. From the press reports
of England's plans for reprisals, de i
i i
ciueci on Dctorc the American proposals
arrived, officials did not draw
much encouragement for the success
of their plan. They are hopoful, however,
that if an acceptance of all the
proposals is not possible now, there at
least will be an acquiescence by all
the belligerents in the suggestion that
mines will be removed from the high
seas except those directly guarding
coast defences and harbors.
Inquiry as to the form of the. Washington
government's latest diplomatic
correspondence with the belliger|
ents over the war zone problems
brought the information from reliable
sources today that the corounications
sent identically to Great Britain and
Germany were of an informal character
with a suggestion of three articles
which might be the basis for a "mo
cius Vivendi," technically known
among diplomatic papers as an exchange
of notes and regarded as a
temporary agreement designed to
cover an emergency situation. The
suggested articles, which might become
the "modus vivondi," cover the
plan, the details of which are not
worked out in the notes for the supervision
by angencies certified to by
the United States government for the
distribution of imported foodstuffs
to the civilian population of belligerents.
Two other articles deal with
the removal of floating mines ami the
abandonment of submarines and attacks
on merchant vessels. The text
is comparatively brief.

IHEClURM :
A SOCIAL CENTER
; ;
1 I
A Broader Sphere for Religion?Nt?l
j ^ Field for the Rural Church. 1 ^
! fsfe f
By Peter Radford 1
Lecturer National Farmers' Union &
The Bocial duty of the rural church
1b as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural !
church does not hesitate to claim that.
1 it is expressing a true religious in*
stinct and the old-time idea that the
I social instincts should be staived
1 while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpret*t
tion of the functions of true religion.
t We take our place in the succession .
i of those who have sought to make the
i world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
i understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re*
I llgion is essentially social?its tenet*,
t of faith being love and brotherhood
> and fellowship. Wblle following after
. rignteousness, the church must cbh> I
, ienge and teak to reform that nodal I
i order in which mora) lite is e*? I
i pronged. Wfcflp cherishing Jdeahrof I
i service, the rural church which Jt- I
i taino the fullest measure of succeee 1
; is that which enriches as many lives I
, as it can touch, and in no way can %
i the church come in as close contact J
i with its members as through the I
) avenue of social functions. I
l The country town and the rural I
community need a social center. The I
church need i ffer no apology for its I
ambition to fill this need lu the com- I
munlty, if an understanding of ita K
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a,?
i rural community is exceedingly com '
; plex; it contains many social groups.
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have I
1 but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter- I
est of all the people, H la relieved I
from the embarrassment of religiously 4?
divided communities. I
