In viola? tion of international law and common humanity, when divested of its diplo? matic phraseology, is an evasive, but none the leas complete rejection of all the demands of the United States. Germany reiterates the intention to continue the torpedoing of merchant ships without reepect to the safety of passengers and crews, and the United States Is warned that the only guar? antee of safety for American citizens r*f<| other neutrals traveling by sea is to Keep out of the none of operations of the undersea craft. That is the sum and substance of the German re? ply, and the United States Is asked in oo many words, "What are you going to do about It?" The Issue is put squarely up to President Wilson and the American people; It is for him as the spokesman of the American peo? ple to say whether or not we are to submit to the German assumption of the right and power to restrict the use of the seas as it suits their pur? poses end ambitions. The United States have been forced into a position by Germany that makes it incumbent upon us either to deliver an ultimatum to that country or tamely submit to the Kaiser's dictation and thereby lose easts as a nation of the tlrst class, o e e Mr. Wllllm Jennings Bryan appears to be one of the few unhyphenated Americans who professes to believe that the German reply Is satisfactory and not a slap In the face to the I otted Sttaes. Mr. Bryan has done, and persists In doing, more than any other American citlxen to encourage the Germans to aggravate the people of this country beyond the bounds of patience. If war should be the final result of the disagreement with Ger? many over the submarine warfare William Jennings Bryan, the self vaunted apostle of universal peace, will have to shoulder the major share of the responsibility. ose Hradstreet's representatives in the Southern States have announced the very gratifying discovery that this sec? tion Is not afflicted with hard times? that the stringency that has been superficially prominent for the past ten months is merely one result of the widespread practice of a wise econ esuy. There has been an unprecedent' ed practice of economy in the pay? ment of past due debts and this ac? counts for the stringency that huu been worrying many of us. Perhaps this la the sort of economy that the Brad street men are talking ubout. IbH.s POK WOOD PASTl'HK. Tamworth* ItoconuiMMtdodl as Good llrwd for This Purpose. Clemson College. July 8.?In answer to a recent Inquiry as to the best breed of hogs for wood pasture, where the hogs would have consider? able range, the animal husbandry division of Clemson College recom? mends the Tamworth. The division states that there is no one breed that can be called "best" for conditions, but that whore good rustler* that will make good pork are wanted, the Tamworth will answer. l nder normal conditions the Tam? worth is a good rustler and prodic ? h large Utters. It is a hog of the bacon type and the quality of the meat is high. The Tamworth does not ma? ture as rapidly as breeds of lard type, such as the Berkshire and Duroc Jereey, but for wood pasture, wh re considerable rustling would be nOf le> oary, the Tamworth would probably be preferable. The animal husbandry division rec? ommends that some forage, such as rape, eowi "as. etc., be provided for hogs under such conditions, In ad? dition to the must that th< y get in the The tobacco crop In Sumter county In not only larger than ever before but It In better than anticipated, there ? ig been a decided lm|u "\einen! In condition within the past two weeks. The tobacco warehouse will be reiirty for business as soon as the farmers have tobacco for sale. BLEASE WOULC RUN AGAIN. SAYS THAT IX ALL PROBABILITY lit: WILL BE CAN BIB ATE. I ndcrniuaai Hau Bleu so Faction Will Hun Pun State ami County Tickets. Columbia, July 10.?"In all prob? ability I will be in the race for gover? nor next summer," aaid former Gov. Cole L. Blease this morning when ask? ed the question by newspaper men, who directed his attention to a story in an Atlanta paper yesterday which quoted Warehouse Commissioner Mc Laurln as saying that the former gov? ernor would run again next summer. He would not make a definite state? ment, as he stated that it was too far off, but left very little doubt In the newspaper men s mind about the mat? ter. The former governor said he had received many letters from people throughout the State and many had called In person urging him to run for governor. He read part of an answer ho waa writing- to a friend, in which he made the atatement that he would probably run for governor next sum? mer. It has been openly talked around Columbia for some weeks that form? er Qov. Blease would make the race for governor ngain next summer. It Is also understood that the Blease faction will run a complete State tick? et In the next primary and a legisla? tive ticket in each county. No defi? nite Information has been obtained as to the plans, but it la known that several leaders have been In Columbia recently, and lt is the general under? standing that plans are forming for the next State primary. With former Qov. Blease at the head of the ticket "ginger" would be injected into the campaign. While he has mnde no statement, lt Is presum? ed that lfr. B. Frank Kelly, of Blsh opville nrHl run for Lieut. Qov. The plans of the faction are said to Include a candidate for every State office. Whether Attorney General Thomas H. Peeples will stand for reelection or seek higher honors Is not known, he having not yet Intimated anything. There has been some talk In political circles that If Mr. Blease should hap? pen not to run for governor that Mr. Peeples would enter the race. But their plane are for a candidate, fpr secretary of State, comptroller gen? eral, State treasurer, commissioner of agriculture, railroad commissioner, adjutant general and all other State officers, so lt Is stated. Gov. Richard I. Manning and Lieut. Gov. Andrew J. Bethea will be candi? dates to succeed themselves and the other State officials will probably seek re-election. The entrance of a Blease ticket pre? sages a fight for control of the Damo cratlc clubs and of the next Demo? cratic State convention, State e jcu tlve committee and the primary rules. However, the present rules, requiring personal enrolment and fixing the time of residence, cannot be changed by the next convention, for they have been enacted Into law, and It would take an Act of the legislature to re? peal them. Therefore there is a guarantee that the next primary elec? tion will be held under the same rules und regulations as that of 1914. \i:<.roi:s in near ACCIDENT, One Member of Ball Team Hurt and Otlters Have Narrow Escape In Crossing Lynches River. Fred Lucas, one of the members of the colored baseball team of Darling? ton, was Injured and the other twenty five men on a motor track bringing the team and enthusiastic fans from Darlington to Sumter this morning for a game of ball this afternoon, came very near losing their lives, or at least meeting with a very serious accident.

The big truck, heavily laden with Its human freight, ran Into this opening and very nearly was turned over Into the river below, the rails barely hold? ing the truck on the bridge and pre? venting its falling. Fred Lucas was caught In between the truck and the rail and his breast was badly mash? ed. It was stated by members of the party that the workmen were at the edge of the bridge and gave them no warning when the truck passed by, allowing them to go on I nd run Into the opening without trying to stop them. it was reported by a person who passed over the bridge later In the day that the boar Is had been re? placed.
