The fact that Gov. Manning was willino* to ndd to his henvv burden of oliicial duty by coming here to address the State Sunday school convcntion and his emphatic, wholesouled endorsement and commendation of Sunday school work made a ^ profound impression on all hi; ' hearers. The work of the day was introduce* by a service of song at 10 o'clock, under the leadership of Mr. Lawdon. and morning worship, led by the Rev. F. 10. Dibble of the Methodist church. "The New lOra and Religious Education" was discussed by Dr. W. A.

Dr. Pendleton brought a "message from the executive committee," i: which he gave a lucid account of th work projected and carried forward 1 P by the committe. I Afternoon Session. At the afternoon session of the Sui ^ day school convention the opening feature was the roll call of the counties and brief reports of the condi{ tions in each county. 5 M. W.

We have complained of our foun tain pens, but the constant mending required by quill pens must have proved a severe trial in the days when no others were available, says the London Chronicle. Alexander I of Russia thought it necessary to employ a man whose solo duty consisted in cutting pens. He was required to have a supply of hot less than one hundred quills always ready. This number was by no means excessive, for Alexander would never use the same pen twice. Even the writing of a signature spoiled a pen, in his opinion, for subsequent use. The quill cutter, who received a salary of .U340 a year, accompanied the czar in all his journeys, including campaigns against Napoleon. "Writing implements changed considerably for the better during Sir Waller Gilbey's long spell of life. "Though quill pens are still in use," he remarks in his "Itecollections of Seventy Years," "I remember the time when one seldom saw any other kind. Steel pens in their early days were expensive and ill made, and few people used thorn. The paper we had 70 years ago may have been partly to blame; it had neither the substance uor the surface we take as a matter of course nowadays. "I remember when envelopes came I into use, and what a boon they were considered sifter the old systems of closing letlers with wafers or wax. Refore envelopes were invented letters *\ore always written with an eye to the position of the wafer or seal, a blank space being left to correspond with the space where this would be i put on the outside, lest the written \ portion should be torn in opening." j Poor Memory. "My wife will pay ten cents car fare to ride downtown and save three cents at a bargain sale," said the young married man. "You have nothing to worry about," replied the old M. M., "until she learno to forget about the spool of i silk she started out to get and buys a $20 hat instead." Notice to Creditors.

Waschington, April 14.?State Denartmcnt officials are prepared to take up with the German Government the last step necessary to supply American textile mills with two cargoes of German dyestuffs bought before March 1. The way was cleared by the announcement that Great Britain had agreed to permit these cargoes under certain considerations to come through from Rotterdam. so graciously extended. Mr. Wannamaker paid a loving and beautiful tribute to the departed secretary. | John C. Carman. The chairman then introduced Richard I. Manning, governor of South Carolina. The audience rose and gave hearty applause. The governor's theme was "The Sunday School and Good Citizenship." "The State administration is heartily in favor of the work which you are doing," said the governor. "As a boy I was, by circumstances, denied the privilege of attending a Sunday school such as you foster, but my Sunday school was at my sainted mother's | knee." Gov. Manning referred to the differ ence in environment between this occasion and the last time he had addressed a Newberry audience. "This," said he, "is so much more pacific." | "It warms my heart to see this great gathering of workers from all parts of our State, whose purpose is to carry forward this Sunday school movement. The importance of the Sunday school can not be overestimated. I wish to bid you godspeed in the great work which you are* doing." Dr. Pedleton gave a stirring thrilling message of hope for the next year, that it may be a brighter and better year. THE HORRY HERJ UGH!

It really begins to look as if cotton will pass the ton cents hoped for by those who rospoiulcd willing and liberally to the "Buy-a-Bale" movement That movement has been criticised by some as being speculative in its nature. There are possibly, many who bought large lots of cotton at ten cents with the intentions or hope of selling out at a profit. There are al ways some who are eager to gain by the ^disadvantages of others less fortunate. But their actions are no* typical Thousands of individuals and rn my corporations have bought cotten at ten cents with a sincere desire to relieve a very serious situation. And we believe that most of such purchasers will sell their holdings at the price they paid. They are in a great degree responsible for the market's rise, and to them belong a fair share of the credit for the much brighter outlook.?Georgetown Times o Card of Thanks. 1 wish to express my sincere thanks to the many friends who assisted us in the death and burial of our father, 1 \Ir.

Baker, of the University >f South Carolina, announced last' Wednesday that Oscar Plaxieo, the College's crack sprinter, would not be jc allowed to compete in the athletic carnival at the University of Pennsylvania.

After an illness of two weeks little Geneva, only child of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Sessions, age 5 years 10 months and 17 days passed away. She was taken seriously sick with spinal miningitis and lived only two weeks. All was done for her that could bo done, but God knew best and took her home to dwell with Him where there is no sickness and sorrow in the Sweet Bye and Bye. Why she was taken so early is unknown. God works in mysterious ways. She being the only child in the home. Her remains were laid to rest the following afternoon at 4 o'clock in the presence of a large num ber of friends and relatives. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H. B. Roberts, his subject being "The Damsel is Not Dead but Sleepatk b !\f l- r oa tt ' * 1 fin, iviciiK o;oi/. ncr little sciiool mates sang the closing song, "Good Night." The most peculiar thing was that her pot dog, "Floyd" lay by the grave and watched with eager eyes till the last. She was the only grandchild of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Sessions, and a grand child of Mrs. Lorenda Lewis of Floyds. Darling Geneva, she has left us, Left tis yes, forever more, Hut we hope to meet our loved one, On that bright and happy shore. Thy gentle voice now is hushed, Thy warm true heart is still, And on thy young .and innocent brow, Is resting death's cold chill. Thy hands are clasped on thy cold breast, We have kissed thy lovely brow. And in our aching hearts we know, We have no darling now. It is sad that one we cherish, Should be taken from our home, But the joys that do not perish, Live in memory alone. All the years we've spent together All the happy, golden hours, Shall be cherished ir? remembrance Fragrant sweets from memory's flowers. Not now hut in the coming years It may be in the better land, We'll read the moaning of our tears, And there sometime we'll understand. Papa and Mama, W. EDWARD SESSIONS, LOTTIE RUTH SESSIONS. Conway, S. C., April 23, 1915. ' 'fll PAGE SEVEN 1 HOWADMiKISTRATiftM nn nrn 11 uw ntLrtu Secretary McAdoo's Energy and Ability Rescues This Section. : \V. P. G. Harding, member of the > federal reserve board, in a letter to J. 1.. Hughes of the Southern Club of Chicago, a copy of which has been made public in Washington, tells at length what the Wilson administration, through Secretary McAdoo, did for the South during the past nine months, which he char, ctcrizes as one of the most "desperate" situations that he had ever seen in his 28 years of banking experience. Among the thiiu s done by Mr. Mc Artoo, as enumerate^ by Mr. Harding, were his recommendation of a bureau of war risk insurance, his work for a government owned merchant marine and his indorsement of the establishment of a cash fund of $100,000,000 to be subscribed by the banks throughout the nor cotton producing States, out ol which 1 roans should be made on cotton. "Under the conditions that prevailed last fall," said Mr. Harding, "the creation of a fund of this magnitude to he loaned upon a commodity which was then rcg rded as unmarketable. was a tremendous undertaking, but Secrtary McAdoo devoted all of his energy and ability to the ; task. In the face of enormous odds he was successful and as soon as it ; became evident that lie would sucj ceed in raising the fund a demand for - i * * 1,1 % I milium, in prices stigntiy above the loan values fixed, spring up, and this demand has continued without intermission, so that the best grades are now selling in the South at around 10 cents per pound, a price, which, in the opinion of experts, is as great as would have obtained had there been no war. While the benefit of the cotton loan fund was therefore confined to its moral effect, it was unquestion: ably a great factor in restoring confidence and in initiating a movement of cotton which has developed beyond : all erpectations. "Having lived in the South all my life, and having been engaged in the banking business 28 years before coming to Washington last summer, I feel warranted in saying that 1 have never seen a situation in the South j apparently so desperate as that which ! existed last fall .that was worked out so rapidly and as satisfactorily, and I wish to say that never before within my recollections has a secretary of the treasury devoted as much time and j energy to the solution of Southern i problems, nor shown such knowledge j of and sympathetic interest in the nej cessities of that section. The relief i afforded the South by Secretary Mci Adoo was intelligent and effective and ! his spirit of helpfulness was restrain! ed only by the limitations of law and ; the obligations of his oath of office. | The deeds and motives of the adminisI tration will be mor eand more apprej ciated in the South with the passing time." o GALLON A MONTH LAW. Construed by Judge George E. Prince In Florence Court?Drug Stores To Get all They Need. ; Judge Geo. E. Prince in the Court of Common Pleas which opened in Florence last week gave a decision in regard to the handling of alcohol under the new law which will attract 1 considerable attention and which he ; requested be carried to the Supreme j Court for final judgment. IP is to the effect that the new law limiting the amount of liquor one party can receive to one gallon a month does not apply to shipments of alcohol to wholesale druggists although the letter of tho law would seem to indicate that wholesale druggists are debarred like individuals from receiving over a gallon a month of anything alcoholic. The case was brought by the attorneys for the Coast Line after the taking of a barrel of alcohol under claim and deliverv miners hv the ?' i r ^ *"*v E. M. Matthews Drug company from the railroad. Under .Judge Prince's decision the wholesale drug company would not bo debarred from the privlege of getting as much alcohol as was needed in their manufacture of medicines and extracts of which they make a great quantity. o Packed.
