CAROLINA GIRLS ARRIVK.
Party From Paris Reaches Huston
After Hardships.
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,

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.
