NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN ever receive the proper balance of food to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands are greater than in mature life. This is shown in so many ~ pale faces, lean bodies, frequeut colds, w and lack of ambition. For all such child: en we say with unmistakable earnestness: They need Scott's lhnulsion, ntid need it now.

ANSWERS ARE FILED BY COMMISSIONERS McLaurin Complains of McMaster's Inquiring Into His _ ^ insurance uperations. ^ Gov. Manning sent the following letter to Fitz Hugh McMaster, insurance commissioner, and John L. McIiixurin, State warehouse commissioner: "I am daily receiving inquiries from all parts of the State asking me how fire insurance can be obtained under the existing laws, and in view of the withdrawal of certain of the com panies. k "The public is deeply interested and Bk * ia entitled to any assistance that can k given. I desire this information in Wf ' Irder that thoy may make their business arrangements. I ask that you j will write me where and how . this insurance can be obtained." Replies were received from Messrs. i McMaster and McLaurin. Mr. McMaster submitted a list of 18 companies, 12 of which he believed would continue to write insurance in South Carolina, and a list of ."7 'mutual fire insurance companies . Mr. McLaurin replied that the firm of Samuels, Cornwall & Stevens of New York had given him assurances V that they could handle the situation. He gives his reasons for the high insurance rates. He also takes Mr. McMaster for task for inquiring into the activities of Mr. Stevens and another representative cf the New York firm on the occasion of their recent visit t<> Columbia. At a meeing of the executive coma. mittee of the Scuth Carolina Warehouse association, the Laney-Odum arti-compact law was unqualifiedly indorsed.

I,uke, in turn, was busy at bis work at the wheel and gave no attention to I the passengers except one, an Kng* / lishman with side whiskers, who hung out of the coach and annoyed him with foolish questions. When Inike. came into the shop for tools Blair drew him to one side and whispered: "There is some one In that coach who will ruin our game with Arthur Stanley. You know what to # dot" ,Luke had a dim remembrance of the L English lawyer, and not having seen ' Esther in the conch, deemed Blair rem f erred to that pestering individual. I,like nodded grimly and replaced the broken linchpin and called to the driv| er, "It's all right," grandly waving aside L the driver's proffer of "two bits," for Blair had paid for the work with a twenty dollar bill. 1 ^ Down by the rugged roast line thirty r* J mites away i^uaDba was fighting the fight that is tlie true fisherman's delight with some great and uiimc fish, and had forgotten the pestiferous jK?liean Minting boldly near.

The wheel comes off and spins away, the coach topples over, the > tongue snaps off short, and the great swaying .vehicle falls over and rolls and gathers momentum as It rolls, while Ksther and the IOnglish lawyer huddle in its groaning interior, spun round and round with the rolling coach, too terrified to shriek. And then the coach strikes a great bowlder and smashes as an egg would smash, A spurt of dust, and then stillness. ' From tragedy to comedy-drama the distance is thirty miles.

Southern Baptist were the first Christian denomination in America to enter upon mission work in the canal zone after it became American soil, their work beginning in 1905. Before that time the people were largely given over to superstition and immoraility. Rev. J. L. Wise opened the work and has heen in charge ever since. The two important centers are at Colon on the Atlantic side and Balboa Heights at the Pacific terminus of the canal. At colon the Baptists have a negro church with 250 members. They arc doing good work with Rev.

IHINK GERMANS '4 >V HAVE OGi>iE LIMIT i <g^H :rench Believe Attempt to Carry Verdun Has Seen Defeated. JNES NOT 3R0KEM IN VITAL PLACES ?rtyich ftocovery oT Ooi'beaux Woods an Important Achievement. Pari \?The situation a' Verdun ?l regarded as much batter, from the French viewpoint, as a result of rerent fighting. Tho public is greatly heercvl by reports of successful resistance on tho part of the defenders it the fortress. Notwithstanding an ornormous expenditure of ammunition and unstinted sacrifice of life the Germans ha\e failed to bend the blue line. The inference dvawn by the general public is that the German wave has advanced an far as is in its power without further wastage on a largo scale, which the German general staff hesitates to make, with four army corps already put out of action in the struggle of IS days. Exhausted by three days of violent efforts, the assailants called a halt to replenish the depleted ranks of infancy. The IVench took advantage of the respite to sweep out the Germans still remaining in Corbeaux weed, and in this effort were almost sue TssfuL The renewal of heavy lighting cast of the Mouse attended by a series of interest once more on this portion of the front. A good road runs through the gieatly sloping ravine up to the plateau before Douaumont, possession of which would enable the attacking forces to take the defenses in the flank. Massed infantry, well support ed by artillery, struggled hard to win the famous position, but the French wore able to hold off the assailants and at the same time to deal with attacks from the village of Douaumont*. in tue YYoevre me Germans unt not attempt to pursue their actions further. ShockM of Infantry. The great successes in battles up to the present have been gained by means of violent shocks delivered by fresh and especially prepared masses of infantry, and have generally beea achieved rapidly. Of such a character was the German attack on Verdun, which smashed itself against the French defenses on February 26. The Germans then began a series of battles on small fronts. One day attack was made on the extreme left from Bethincourt to Goose Hill, on another day a blow was struck at the extreme right, at Frenes, and again at Douaumont. All these were genuine attacks carried out bv masses of tenon* pable of undertaking serious actions. French military observers are at a loss to explain the object of those assaults as it is believed there is littio probability that they will have grave consequences for the defenders. The important question is whether things will go on this way, or whether there will be another great attack. Not often in the battle have the French infantrymen had the order to advance. When they did receive it they showed that their offensive spirit had lost nothing by being held in. James Reed, a negro of advanced years, was found dead near Fairvicw church in Oconee county. He was well to do and was liked by the white people, and there was no foul play. He died from being drunk and suffering from exposure. rnrn a ain m a nn rntCLANU WAKU KILLED AT LAMAR Darlington.?Mr. Freeland Ward was accidentally killed at a saw mill near Lamar, last Friday.
