Methodist Training School at Myrtle B^ach Eve*y indication points to a large attendance of Methodist workers of the South Carolina Conference at the second annual Training School at Myrtle Beach. Last year there was an overflow attendance upon the first meeting of this kind, many of whom remained for the entire session and took the credit courses. Applications for reservations are coming in daily, and requests for information from many others give promise of an increased attendance this year. The school is held under authority of the Sunday School Board of the South Carolina Conference, and is endorsed and supported by the General Board, Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The Rev. VV. C. Owen, field secretary of the South Carolina Conference, is dean of the school. The school is one of the "Standard Training Schools" that nvf heing established through out the entire church, under the authority and control of the church, and is a real school for workers. The establishment of these schools is a forward step to meet the ever enlarging demands made upon the the Sunday school as a vital religgious factor in the whole plan of ious factor in the whole plan of liar work of the church. Here teachers and superintendents and all other workers can come to receive that definite help they need to be able to meet the demands upon them. The courses are so planned that every phase of the work is presented. Each course consists of twelve lessons and upon approved examination, the school will issue to each student a certificate for the work done. While hard enough to command the respect of the most competent of the workers, the course is so practical and the instructors are so considerate that all who earnestly apply themselves can do the work outlined. The courses offered this year are as follows: Beginners Mehods, Miss Willette Allen, Kindergarden Specialist and worker, Atlanta; Primary Lesson Material, Mrs. W. B. Ferguson, Primary superintendent First Church, Little Rock, Arkansas, and one of the most efficient primary i workers in the South; Junior Methods, Miss Bruce McDonald, the efficient superintendent of the Junior department, Washington street Wethodist church, and a teacher of experience in the public schools of Columbia; Intermediate,. Senior, and Youne People's work by Mr. M. W.

Bryan, manager of the Myrtle Beach Hotel, the school will be held at Myrtle Beach. Mr. Bryan 4 has agreed to maKe a special iaic of $1.50 per day to all registered attendants upon the school, making j the total cost for board only $10.50 at this popular resort on the broad Atlantic. He has also made a special rate for the use of the bathing suits and dressing rooms, and all who de-1 sire a plunge will have a splendid opportunity for this delightful pleasure. These rates are granted only to those who attend the school, and those who expect to attend will do well to send" in their registration fee at once to Rev. W. C. Owen, Marion, S. C. The fee is $1.00, making a total cost of attendance only $11.50 and railroad fare. For further information, write. Rev. W. C. Owen, Marion, S. C. ? 0 ?

I GERMAN SAILORS SINK SHIP 1 i j i Officer* And Crews Now linder Ar- ^ rest on British Vessels . , d The German officers and sailors h< forming the complements of the ?German ships interned at Scapa Flow sank most of their fleet last Satur- \] day. All the big ships, the battleships ol and battle cruisers, excepting the w Baden, and numerous smaller craft' ^ 1 were sunk, while others went ashore ti 1 in a hail sunken condition. tc Eighteen destroyers were beached P1 bvtugs; four are still afloat, while 'the remainder went undei. s( The wholesale sinking of the Ger- m man ships, which were surrendered P| under the terms of the armistice, - " 1 i--. was careiunv arranged oy oiuwij w and crews. All explosives had been cs removed, and therefore, the only oi St means of destroying the fleet was i by opening the seacocks. The ships ^ went down slowly with the German oi flag, which the crews had hoisted, 1? I showing at the mastheads. ^ The crews, composed entirely of ct Germans, under the terms of the si . armistice, which did not permit of w i British guards aboard, took to the boats when the vessels began to set- g. I tie. While making for the shore the w boats were challenged and called up| on to surrender. Some of them ignor| ed the summons and were fired upon, a few casualties resulting. This stroke apparently was an en- ^ tire surprise, and the first news ^ reached London through a corres- ai pondent who was informed by farmers in the neighborhood that they g1 had seen the German ships sinking ^ with their flag aloft. or The admiralty at first denied the S< rennrt hut later confirmed it and is- 9, I ' jyj I sued an official statement. The GerI man officers and crews have been es J prisoners. w None of the officials tonight would tr ; offer an opinion as to how they are eT to be dealt with. o m el CONVICTED SIX TIMES to SB Willie Bethune to Stand Seventh Jo Trial for Murder. ia gi Columbia, June 23.?Willie Be- fc j thune, the negro whose case has m ?been in the courts of South Carolina sc for the past ten years, received a new lease on life late this afternoon at ' when the State supreme court, in ar. M opinion by Chief Justice Eugene B., M Gary remanded the negro back to the j circuit court of Marlboro county to I stand his seventh trial for life. He already has been convicted of the imnv/W nf fi R Mims. a white man!. of Marlboro county six times and , J? I has received a half dozen death sen-1 tences. In each instance there was an appeal to the supreme court, which c,c reversed the judgment of- the lower 'court in every case. ^ i Sunday morning. February 21-1 1909. the horse and bug'gy of G. B. j . Mims were lost on the public high-! j way of Marlboro county and were '. ' caught by Willie Eethune who imme- ,z diately went "joy riding" with two j of his women friends. The buggy j I contained a valise, in which among 'other things was a revolver. This Bethune pocketed. In the afternoon ar Mr. Mims, accompanied by a friend, [W) A. J. McFadden, in another buggy, j went in search of the minus convey- at ance. When located it was still being 1 ^ driven by Bethune, with his two j Yf1 companions. Mr. Mims commanded the two women to alight and got in, " ? I the buggy witn eeinime, presumaui; j ? to arrest him. Bethune then shot him in the head. There is some dispute in the testimony as to whether j Mr. Mims likewise fired. Bethune was first tried for his life at Man-: ning, June 1909, was convicted and *a sentenced to be hanged on June 30, 1909. w.' o V1 in Lake City Items ^ Capt. and Mrs. L. C.
