v rwo GERMANS AGREE TG ALLIED TERMS Mercantile Fleet to Be Taken Over by Allies?Provis;; ion For Food. Brussels.?The German delegates to the conference regarding the taking over by the allies of the German mercantile fleet and the provisioning of Germany, today definitely accepted the conditions imposed by the aPies. i A board of control for exports will be established under the terms of the ' agreement. This board probably vill board his headquarters at Rot t? rdam. The Germans will bo permitted to buy fish from Norway and resume their own fishing in the North sea. 'The German representatives asked for a modification of the blockade, and while no promises were given them in this connection, steps in that direction as a matter of fact have already been taken. The German representatives sat on one side of a long table while on the other side were an equal number of allied representatives. There were no greetings, salutations or amenities of any sort. The whole proceedings were marked by impersonal rigidity. The chairman of the German delegation stared at a spot on tne table and addressed his remarks to no one in particular. Vice Admiral Sir Rossiyn Wcmyss of Great Britain, chairman of the allied delegation, began by muling a statement prepared for him by the civilian members, mlline* on the Germans to say categorically whether they abided by the terms of the armistice. Under-Secretary of State von Bruun replie<l curtly: "Yes." , Admiral Wcymss then read one page of typewritten memorandum giving in crisp sentences the terms of the allies for granting food to Germany-?the German merchant fleet to be handed over at once, financial provisions to be made at or.ee, food to be delivered at once and to be continued until the next harvest, or as long as Germany abided by the terms of the agreement. As the statement was read it was translated into German ami French, the German replies receiving the same treatment. The air of impersonality was preserved throughout. It was then settled that the details of the ration of 870,000 tons of food monthly with the shipping and financial plans should be elaborated in subcommittees and the first plenary session adjourned, having lasted only a few minutes. In this meeting there were no appeals or references to humanity and civilization or to women and children, the only statement in this connection being that infant mortality had doubled in the last three months, and this was simply mentioned as a cold declaration of fact in connection with the request of the Germans for more condensed milk. The German delegates were anxious to enlarge the proposed monthly imports of certain commodities only to he met with the statement: "I regixd that the world's shipping does not make this possible." Reference on some points was reserved by the Germans for discussion with the government at Berlin. ? ?o , ., V * AVOID COTTON WILT. I . Clemson College, S. C.?Cotton wilt, otherwise known as blight and black root, is a widespread disease in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina, and where proper preventative measures are not taken is causing erormoux loss every year, says Director H. W. Barre of the South Carolina Experiment Station. Where the disease is present in isolated areas on the farm, precautions should be taken to prevent its spread. The fungus which causes vilt is carried from one place to another by plows and other implements, by surface water, or by any agency which carries soil particles from the infected area to other parts of the farm. If farms are already infected with -4K:~ .1,^ TA : ,.,:w iijjj* 1.1 iw i/iAir win ic.ii.il" ant cotton should bo planted.

OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE The board of trustees of the University of South Carolina held a special meeting March 18 to distribute funds recently appropriated by the general assembly for the maintenance of the institution and for repairs on the old dormitories. The Lutheran Church Visitor, official organ of the United Synod of the Lutheran Church in the South, published in Columbia since 1901, will be discontinued after May 1. Florence County will have as a memorial for the boys who gave their lives for the cause in France a splendid public library. "When are they coming home?" is the question that is agitating the public South Carolina mind at pros-, enl, the "they" invariably referring to the boys of the Thirtieth Division. There.is little doubt that practical ly every unit ol tne l lurtietn division yet to leave France will debark at Charleston. TO FIND WORK FOR THE SOLDIER LADS Washington.?An emergency committee on employment for soldiers and sailors was organized here hy the Council of National Defense, with the approval of the War and I.abor departments. The purpose is to meet the situation created by the radical curtailment of the machinery of the federal employment service, made necessary by the failure of Congress to provide funds for the remainder of this fiscal year. Support will be furnished by the committee to the 2,000 branch bureaus for returning soldiers and sailors, now maintained by the war welfare organizations and local communities, and in addition efforts will be made to establish such bureaus in additional cities and towns through financial aid. Cooperation of local interests also is expected to insure continuance of many of the 700 agencies of the federal employment sc ivice ordered abandoned March 22. Woods Made Chairman. Arthur Woods, special assistant to the Secretary of War, in charge ol employment of discharged soldiers, was appointed chairman of the emergency committee. Wherever possible the committee i will supplement the work of the remaining organization of the employment service, which will retain offi cos in only fifty-six important indus- 1 trial centers. Telegrams were sent today by the Council of National Defense to all Governors and the mayors of prin ( c:pal cities and chairmen of the' State councils of national defense j a .-king their cooperation. A campaign for the stimulation of industry, as a means of solving the unemployment problem, will be conducted, and employers will be urged to use the available bureaus for list iug their needs. Members of the com miDee believed the work of finding employment for 100,000 persons a week, which has been in the hands of the employment service, can be con- ' tinued without interruption. 0 Sfl Q 1 iU k; I illkl BRITISH HONOR MANY AMERICANS Washington.?Sixty-six American j army medical officers and men have been decorated by the British govern mcnt for bravery and distinguished service in the war.

Aynor was again saddened on last Sunday night, February "2nd, inst., when Mrs. Lottie Graham, wife of Mr. E. M. Graham, a prosperous merchant and automobile agent of ou? town, departed this life. She was indeed loved bv everyone who knew her, and was a consistent member of Aynor Baptist Church. She seemed to love everybody and feel an interest in their welfare and happiness. We must not say she is dead, for death only touched her eyes, and she sleepeth until that time when Christ shall come to make up his jewels. The remains were laid to rest in Aynor Cemetery. Funeral service was conducted by her pastor, and well he remembers only a few months ago when he arrived at Aynor to take up the work of the Baptist people here, she invited him to her home with his family and made the day very pleasant for him and his. And when he began to housekeep she loaned him part of the things he used in his home, until his household goods arrived some weeks later, and I say again she lovn. * 4 a %wnl/a ?*?v? -1 -"b- ! *. . i,u niunu auiut; win; nfil!

She was another victim of that terrible disease, Influenza and tho the best of medical skill was rendered by Dr.'s King and Dusenbury and the nurses, they could not keep her alive, and she went to that Jesus whom she loved and we can only bow our heads and say as Job, "Jehovah givcth, and Jehovah taketh away, blessed be the name of Jehovah." She leaves to breavc her, her husband, two small boys, her mother, two orotners and throe sisters. She, before her marriage, was Miss Lottie Shelly, of the lower part of Horry County. Her many friends extend their heart-felt sympathies to her bereaved loved ones, and Aynor Baptist church will greatly feel her less. Her Pastor, Leon F.
