It cheers our hearts here in the j Tiaining School to know that the i hearts of our women all over tin j South land are turning this way. This year of all years we feel keenly our need of your sympathy and prayers. The old Training School building has been torn down, making room for our large new building. I. the meantime we are living in very cramped, uncomfortable quarters. But we are so glad we are to have a fc\iilding large enough to hold all the dear girls "whom God is calling into His work. It is a glorious privileg* to be here and study God's word under such faithful Godly men as D. A. T. Robertson and Dr. John R. Sampey. Then a course in Personal Work under Mrs. McLure, iOur beloved Principal. , .' This year I am studying Church History, which enables me to see as I never did before-how the Heavenly Father has been watching over His own. I am also studying conditions in heathen lands, and my heart goes out to them afresh as <1 realize how bound down they are by sin and superstition. Every girl in our School does some kind of Mission work in the City while she is here. Last year I had a Mothers' Club at one of our Mission Churches. This year I am teaching a Sunday School Class of Junior boys, and conduct a sewing class of Junior girls every Thursday afternoon. I suppose you are most interested in our Good Will Center, because that is your very own,?supported by the women of our Southern Union. Nearly half of the girls work there in the Sunday School and prayer meeting, and in the various Clubs and classes. The results are very gratifying. Those who knew the neighborhood before we began say there is no comparison between conditions now and then. Surely God's hand of approval is on the work there and He has made our Good Will Center a means of blessing to those people in many and marvelous ways. You have helped to make ail this possible by your prayers and gifts, and verily will not lose your reward. To my mind one of the sweetest, most helpful features of the Training School life is our Chapel services. We take it alphabetically, each girl having both morning and evening service when her time comes, also asking blessing each meal that day. Our subjects are assigned by Mrs. McLure, so there is no choosing easy ones. The foundation for the new building is nearly completed and we ar<> aiixious to see it begin to climb. I often think of the dear women of th<i Waccamaw and Carolina Associations and of the splendid times we have had together, and always so interested in hearing of the splendid work some of you are doing. May the time soon come when there will be e *vjde awake Missionary Society i > iovery Chj^'-h in the County. i>Oi?'t forget to pray for me. Co ' bless you, every one. ?Mrs. John O. Cough.

Aside from the new German comni:nication interest in official circles entered chiefly in the course of Berin officials in placing obstacles in 1 e way of the departure of Ambassador Gerard. Great resentment has eon aroused here over this incident nit officials have indicated that a.oen as the ambassador is safely ou! >f Germany they will be disposed ti insider the matter closed. Although definite information re yarding- the channel through whicl he German communication was di rected is lacking, it is considered cer tain that it has been forwarded b\ :he government of Switzerland.- Tin Swiss minister here, who has taker over German interests in this coun cry, called at the State departmen this afternoon and saw Counselloi Polk. Both refused to discuss tlu conference but it is considered prob able the minister, on behalf . of Ger many, communicated that govern ment's views. If he did the German suggestions were, it is believed, given orally. It is regarded as improbable that specific suggestions would be put for ward at least until the United States indicates in some way its sentiment toward the general proposal for a discussion. The development, howevei served to draw attention again to the proposal. for distinctive markings of vessels and arrangements ' for pass age of American passenger carrying liners in the note announcing unrestricted submarine warfare. Sought Discussior. Then. It was disclosed tonight, that wher. Count von Bemstorff informed the United States of the . new German policy last week an effort was made to bring about a discussion apparently designed to result in the United States agreeing not to take any serious action and that administration officials flatly declined to consider it. The present efforts while more or less different in character, are looked upon as being more formal in nature than those made at first. Some light also was thrown upon Germany's ?point of view when it was learned today that while the BerlU. government was arranging for the new campaign of ruthless warfare certain German diplomats in various parts of the world were notified that while "military necessity" prevented the granting of a period in which neu trals might adjust their maritime interests, every care would be exercised that neutral and especially Am erican passenger carrying ships I would not be subjected to unwarned submarine attack. ~o No community is better than the people in it; make your community better.?Marion Star.

Carolina, except for medicinat, sacramental or scientific purposes, was given its final passage in the house of representatives and was ordered sent to the senate by a vote of 64 to 49. On its final passage the measure retains all fhe stringent provisions written into it on second rending. The Richey bill was introduced in the house by its author on January 11 and was referred to the committee on police protection. Tt was favorably reported by a majority on January 30 and placed on the house calendar. It was amended and given its second reading on February 2 and was recommitted to the committee on police1. regulation on February 6, which reported it back Wednesday night reco emending its passage in its original form without amendments. The bill was filibustered for two hours 1 Wednesday, but when the measure came up this morning, dilatory tactics were not retorted to. When the huose convened Thursday morning the Richey "bone dry" bill, which was filibustered in the lower body for two hours Wednesday night, immediately came up for consideration, the speaker ruling that it was unfinished business as deliberation on the measure had been interrupted by adjournment. ??^?

Tnere is a la. ge percentage of the small grain crop killed by the recent freeze. In the riedmont section of this State there is a larger percentage killed than in the low country so we can fully un dcrstand that it is imperative that wo so a- a few more oats this month before it is too late. We cannot afford to miss this opportunity because there is such a demand for corn and grain, and even if we make a smaller yield on our late oat crop it is better than buying corn at $1.50 per bushel to feed our live stock. The best varieties for late planting are the Hurt and Red Rust Proof. Use two and one-half busheis per acre now ?M W Wall. NOTICE.
