In group conferences delegates from is countries !???..I ti ?\pla nations to rep? resentatives of commercial and finan? cial interest* of the United States of their peculiar needs, and indicated in w .n ways oapttnl ojhi credit could bo used to best advantage to strengthen trade relations. The gen , eral Idea expressed was that in the Southern republics the surplus capital of the Pnlted States would find fer? tile fields for investment which must bring in tho future ? closer political and commercial union. The only general session of the con ffeffgjgf today was marked by a dra? matic speech by Dr. Santiago Perez Trlanu. delegate from Colombia, who waived the flag of Pan-Americanism, and declared that tbis hemisphere ?hould be for Americans. He pro? posal ,i new VtUloi of the Monroe doctrine that would make it Impos* slble for one American nation to OOTtt a foot of a neighbor's territory or ln vade her soil. It was a speech such as had not been heard before at the conference, devoted largely to ques? tions of commerce and trade, and the delegates greeted It with long con? tinued applause. "Let us see,' said Dr. Trlana. "tha: the harmony In this continent is diaphanous, transparent and clear without one shadow of doubt The inviolability of the continent which made it so that the eyes of conquest should be closed to outsiders has not worked absolutely. I am not here to recapitulate or to blame?far be it for me- Wherever redress is possible, redresa should be accomplished. Whenever in the history of the nation, redress is not possible, we resign our? selves to the Imperfections of human? ity and let bygones be bygones and let the dead pust bury Its dead."

Rome, May It.?The Italian gov? ernment, believing that Austria-Hun? gary is utilising eeveral ports on the Albanian coast for a secret commis? sariat department, declared a block? ade today against "that portion of the Austro-Hungarian coast comprised between the Italian frontier on the north to the Montenegrin boundary on the south, including all Islands, ports, anchorages and bays; also the Albanian const from the Montenegrin limits on the north to and including Cape Kiephali on the south." The declaration specifies the geo? graphical limits by latitude and lon? gitude, and adds: "Vessels belonging to friendly and neutral powers will be allowed suffi? cient time to leave the /one, the amount of time to he determined by the chief of the naval forces. "Measures will be taken In con? formity with the rules of international law and treaties in existence against all vessels endeavoring to cross, or which succeed in crossing, the line marked by Cape Otranto and Cape Kiephali." AURKT'LTVRAIi LIME DEPOSIT. Discovered on Mountain Above Wal? halla. Anderson Mail. Superintendent John R, Anderson is adrleed by engineers of the pres? ence of a hu;re deposit of agticultur al lime ca the Blue Ridge railway right of way between Walhalla and the tunnel on Stumphouse mountain. The englne?rs declare there Is a "whole mountain of lime" up there. When Vice President Henry W. Mil? ler and Mr. Shaw, assistant traffic manager of the Southern Railway, were visitors here a few days ago, Capt. Ar.derson went with them to Walhalla and took them out to see the tunnel. Although Mr. Miller has been Indirectly connected with the Blue Ridge railway for many years he had never before seen the tunnel. I He, like his predecessor Col. An ? drews, longs for the building of the road over the mountains to Knoxville. While the party of gentlemen were at the tunnel they were advised of the discovery of the deposit of ag? ricultural line. The right of way of the railroad to the tunnel spllttt the deposit In two, and if the deposit is sufficient In size to warrant the building of a line the officials may undertake to do this. There has been a scarcity o .gricultural lime in South Carolin ?, for some time, it Is understood, and it may be that the Blue Ridge has the key to solve the lime problem for this State. The railroad company wants more stone to ballast the tracks and the tracks of the Southern Railway, and the hauling of ballast and lime may warrant the building of a spur track. The distance from Walhalla I to the mouth of the tunnel is some? where between six and eight miles. There is plenty of stone, just the kind the railroads want for ballast, on the right of way leading to the tunnel. The party of railroad officials also visited a quarry located near Pendle ton, owned by the Blue Ridge rail- j way company. In order to operate this Quarry it would be necessary to build a spur track a little more than two miles in length. May Build to the Tunnel. Concerning the plans of the Blue Ridge railway to get more ballast the Seneca Farm and Factory says: I With a view of extending the Blue Ridge railroad from Walhalla to the tunnel above the town, high officials of the Blue Ridge and Southern sys? tems inspected the proposed route leal week. It Is said that the exten? sion will be for the purpose of get? ting ballast from the mountains to be used in the work of double track? ing the Southern between Charlotte and Atlanta. No announcement has come from officials of either the Bim? Ridge or the Southern, but on the streets of Seneca thin morning it is said that II. W, Miller, assistant to the presi? dent Southern railway, and Mr. John R. Andereon, superintendent of the Blue Ridge, together With the super? intendent Of construction of the Blue Ridge, mads h tour of inspection over the old Blue Ridge survey last week. it is estimated that it will be cheaper to construct the roadbed to the tunn tl than to build the spur from Pendlel >n to the quarry near that town. The Blue Ridge owns ihc land In the mountains. A license to marry has been issued to Isaac Ivory and Mittle Richardson. I ?alzell.

Mrs. Ell/nhcth T. Reil Again Ausweis Hob Jones on Points of Doctrine. Editor The Daily item. When a elergyman adopts In ids pulpit the methods of the prize ring, one cannot but conclude that there is need of that "inward spiritual grace" which si an essential mark of Christ's followers. Christian Science worships God as Love, and it is quite true that this is its central teaching about which all else revolves. The prayer of Christian Science is the understanding and demonstration of this Love, accepted as the test of obedience given by Jesus: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." His command was "That ye love one another, as I have loved you." Not praying to Love to be Love, but understanding what God as Love is, and living this understanding. Christian iclenCS teaches that God Is spirit; that man and the universe, created by Him, are spiritual partak? ing of His nature. That the belief of a material uni? verse is a mistaken sense of the true,, and that this mistake will be correct? ed through purification and spiritual enlightenment. Christian Science teaches that nie devil, denominated by Jesus "a liar and the father of lies," is the sum to? tal of the belief in a power opposed to God. "The prince of true power of true air." Eph. Christian Science teaches that there is no sin in the divine mind; hut that sin exists as power In the human imind; and can be dethroned as this i much is put off for the mind that was in Christ Jesus. It would' appear from Rev, Bob Jones' statement that his concept of God is of a human being establishing an organized system of religion with a man at its head. Whereas the re? ligion taught by Jesus was love to God and man, and "keeping ourselves unspotted from the world." This is Christian Science, the Christianity of the Bible, which is "despoiling the kingdom of Satr. V "The vital part, the heart and ^oul of Christian Science is Love." Mrs. Eddy has said on page 2113 of Science and Health. Christian Science has no affiliation whatever with spiritualism or millenn? ia] dawnism, but is totally un? like them. The one and only way to "steer clear of the devil" is to know God aw ever-present Love. This knowledge will heal all ills, lift religion above the plane of vulgar ephithets and establish Christ's Christianity. Elizabeth T. Bell. Charleston, S. C. May 22, 1915. PLEASING TO AMERICA. Southern Republic Follow United State's Example. Washington, May 26.?Formal no? tification of the signing of new peace treaties by Argentine, Brazil and Chile was received by the state de? partment.

"We are very much gratified that this principle has received indorse? ment by the use which is made of it by those countries, and we hope that the idea will sperad until Investiga? tion Will be resorted to in all cases."

Whether the state constables, under sheriff Martin, have authority to make arrests for gambling or other offen? ces, except violations of the dispensary law, will probat-': be determined this morning before Magistrate Lunx. The question as to their authority in such matters was brought up yesterday morning when a warrant was sworn out charging .1. C. Smith with conduct? ing a gambling house, as well as a blind tiger," in connection with his barber shop at No. 159 King street. W. C. Whitworth, in charge of a squad, raided the establishment at No. 15S) Kitmr street Monday and, it is alleged, found a card game in prog? ress on the premises. The cards wore seized and two of tho alleged players arrested. Smith conducts the place, according to the warrant. It is a three-jointed place, the front beim: a barber shop, the - next room a blind tife^r and in tho roar room a gamo? ling place, according to the charges. The officers entered the place to make a raid on the blind tiger when, it is asserted, they found the game going on. Many of the players bolt? ed on the appearanc of th others, but Jams Judge and Charles Samuels wore somewhat slow in their move? ment and both were arrested. Warrants wore sworn out , against Judge and Samuels before Magistrate Loinz, who referred them to the Civil and Criminal Court yesterday morn? ing. When the testimony had boon ? heard before Judge Paul M. Macmil Ian, ho dismissed the men for want of evidence that they had taken part in the game. J, C. Smith, against whom a war? rant was also Issued, the charge against him being for conducting a gambling house, was also before Mag? istrate LUIM, but the case was post? poned when John I. Cogsrovo, his counsel, questioned the authority of the constables to make an arrest for running a gambling house. In order to permit the constables time to prove their jurisdiction in such matters. {Magistrate Lains postponed the case until this morning when the constables will return to the court to show whether they are armed with power in such cases.
