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

the "Standard Training Schools"

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

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.

CONVICTED SIX TIMES to

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,

ireveritives of hog cholera, the re- . ;ults
of these elaborate tests are no
lifferent in the results obtained'than %'
mndreds of others less carefully '

in otner advertised nog cnoiera j
ures as absolutely worthless. *
Notwithstanding all these tests
uid ill the other proof we have lhac t
hese hog cholera cures are without ^
xception worthless, still the average ; ?

T?owiedge will readily accept the *
tarns of any one who offers a "sure
urb" for any disease, and will pay

if his animals to its use.
Many will argue that such worthess
cures "do no harm if they do ho

hief harm done by patent medicines <
nd these "sure cures" today is due
o the delay they .cause in consulting v
competent physician ar vetejjna- *

There is no known cure for Jiog ? ^
holera and no preventive, except the

'reat all alike, as worthless fakes, ? ,
nd place dependence in anti-cholera
