SCRANTON SKETCHES.
Death's Grim Harvest?School
Notes?Personal Mention.
Scranton, June 8:?One of the
town's aged inhabitants passed into
the great beyond Tuesday, June 1,
in the person of Mrs Hester Poston.
The deceased was about 77 years of
age and had been confined to her
bed for sixteen months. Skilled
physicians and willing hands did everything
possible for her relief. Interment
was made the following day (
in the Beulah burying ground.
The town was again shocked Thur3day,3d
inst, when the announcement
was made that little Isabelle, the 18month3-old
daughter of Mrs Chessie
WarH Shp had been sick
only a short time and was thought
to be better, but a relapse set in and
death resulted. Interment took place
at Bethel cemetery, Rev J W Truluck
officiating.
The report of I)r C H Pate, vital
statistics registrar for Lee and Lake
townships, to June 7 shows 53 births
and 26 deaths, with the report of his
assistant for May yet to be received.
A petition asking that the county
school board declare compulsory
school attendance in force in Scranton
school district has been presented
to the Board of Education. As
three-fourths of the electors signed,
no election will be necessary.
Mr C E Graham attended the
t
commencement exercises at Coker
college last week, where his sister,
Miss Saddie, completed a post-graduate
course. Miss Hessie Graham
also attended.
Scranton Couitcil, Junior Order
American Mechanics,held its regular
meeting last Friday night. Several
encouraging talks were made. The
next regular meeting, Friday, June
118, will be made a big eyent. A
| prominent speaker \vill be secured
'and cold refreshments served.. IJnfavorable
weather the past winter;
prevented a full attendance, but the;
' council is taking on new life now, |
1 and every member is urged to be
present June 18. Several speakers
will be on the programme, and an
enjoyable evening is assured. Visiting
Juniors cordially welcomed.
Mr W W Graham attended the
Confederate reunion at Richmond,
Va, last week.
Miss Fannie Cannon has been j
' elected a teacher in the graded i

drafted, informing Uermany tnat
the United States would not omit
"any word or any act" to protect
its rights. At that time Mr Bryan
made a speech counselling peaceful
measures and cautious action. He
gave his consent to signing the note
ouly after it was tentatively arranged
that a statement should he issued
at the White House and transmitted
to the German Government announcing
that, inasmuch as Germany
had accepted the principle of
the peace treaties negotiated between
the United States and other
countries, differences between the
two nations might be adjusted by a
commission of investigation. Opposition
to this course was most ve*
* i x A.
nenient in some * anmei. quarters,
and the President after having considered
at length Mr Bryan's^suggestion
finally disapproved it at the
hour the note was sent. Some Cabinet
officers argued that such an appendix
to the note of May Id would
be construed abroad as a weakening
of the American position, and their
counsel prevailed.
Since then the official relations of
Mr Bryan with the President and
iop Cflhinpt hjive hef?n
somewhat strained, although the
closest personal friendship lias been
maintained.
Mr Bryan's action was received in
official circles with undisguised
amazement. It is said that his intimate
friends advised against it.
The resignation occupied the leading
position in the London newspapers,
which also expressed great astonishment
but believed that President
Wilson's hands were not
weakened.

There is much complaint throughout
this section at the apparent great
error mate by some in reporting the
condition of the cotton crop in South
Carolina to the Federal Government
to be greater4 than the facts warrant
^nd many have registered complaints
by addressing their respective Congressmen
and the United States Senators
from this State asking that the
matter be investigated. The crop in
this section, according to the most
conservative farmers, is at least 25 ,
' days late and the average condition /
at best is not,or was not at the time,
more than 62% compared with a
perfect crop May 25. Evidently, according
to the opinion of the best
farmers hereabouts, some one had
! made a great mistake.
