Roston, Aug. 17.?The Red Star liner Marquette, with American refu? gees aboard, arrived hey* today from Antwerp. For 11 days the Red Star liner's passengers were fearful of capture by Herman war vessels. In the Knglish channel she was held up twice by torpedo boat destroyers. A British rrulser stopped her two days out; twice sue was brought to in mld ncean by Knglinh war vessels and to? night barely beyond the three mile limit outside this harbor, she was brought to n halt by a British cruiser's guns. A party of 1? young women from Tennessee and South Carolina? who returned on the Manrictte, told of going for Intervals without food or sleep. During the ride from Paris to Antwerp the only pine they had to sleep was the floor of a third class carriage and their only food was a loaf of bread and a Jar of jam. The train was delayed and reached Antwerp barely in time to catch the steamer. The Children's Playgrounds. The playgrounds on the corner of Main and Rartlette streets, establish? ed by the Civic League, was designed for a great blessing to our children, ami under the proper management it will he. But if allowed to be used in \iolatlon of our Creator's command ami against the training and leaching of Christian parents, there we may look for It to be a curse Instead of a , blessing. God says "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it ludy," and "train up a child In the wuy he shall go." On last Sunday the said playground was wide open ami In full blast, all of the implements of pleasure and exercise occupied both by girls and boyy. This may be Hoe for the phy steal frame, but for their spiritual development it is degrading ami harmful, it ire let this practice con? tinue it will bear Its legitimate fruit, and, BOoa we will have a city of Sa!> i atb breakers, "As the twig Is bent the tree will Incline." "The Wages of sin is death.'' "I will repay saith the Lord." Let us beware, Beni. P. Cuttlno. Superintendent Salem Baplist Sunda\ Re hoot, War Secretary Killed at Sea. It Is somewhat remarkable that the first British secretary of war, air W. Clarke, was killed lu a naval action. His duties wore those of a secretary to the commmder In-chief, and, as such, he accompanied the duko of Al be murin to sea in 1666, and was kilted on June 1. His official salary was at first I? 60, and subsequently $6 a day, I out of which he paid nil clerks. Tillniaii Manic* Delegates. Washington. Aug. 19,?Secretary McAdOO luis requested the senators from each of the cotton States to designate six men chosen equally from i the hankers, buyers and growers to! represent the State at the conference which is to be held at tin- treasury department next Monday to consider further the problem of extending aid to the cotton trade in the war emer? gency, j Senator Tillman has submitted the j following names to Mr. McAdoo for South Carolina: Bankers, Henry 1'. Williams, of Charleston, and J. P. Matthews, of Columbia; ootton null men, Louis W. Parker, of Greenville, and Leroy Springs, of Lancaster; farmers, D, R, Coker, of Hartsvtlle, and Henry Glenn, of Anderson. In connection with the Cotton Con? ference an interesting and important development has occurred. Senators from the big tobacco States are insist? ing that any emergency assistance given hy the administration to the cotton trade shall be extended also, and in the same measure, to the to? bacco trade. The Virginia senators contend that the crisis for tobacco is in every respect as serious as that for cotton. GOV, Pleuse has offered a reward for proof to convict any man of fraud in the primary.
