The Plebiscite In Silesia (Youths Companion). Just now the people who live?or who claim residence?in Upper Silesia are taking the first steps in the elec? tion that is to decide whether that district shall remain a part of Ger? many or be joined to the new re public of Poland. The treaty makers of Versailles originally awarded the province to Poland on the ground that s majority of its population Polish; hut the protests of the Ger? mane, who compose the greater part of the city population und control all of the Industrial enterprises, were so loud that the final draft of the treaty provided for a plebiscite to de termine the future allegiance of the country. All natives of Upper Silesia, wherever they live, and all inhabi? tants of the region, not natives, who havo lived there sixteen years or more, have the right to vote. The area of the disputed district is not far from 5,000 square miles; its population is something like 2,000, 000. Both parties are making the most extraordinary effort! to carry the election. It is reported from Ber? lin that 210 passenger trains havo been ordered to carry nonresident voters into the contested territory; there are said to be more than 200, D00 natives of Upper Silesia in the German capital alone. Every eff.^r Is being rr.r.'P- -fir Up the ? :?.'! us lasin of German Silesiahs. The Polos are no less active, although, since the Polish population is mostly of the peasant class, not so many of them have left the province to live else? where. Newspaper and pamphleteer? ing propaganda in golnp; on at an ex? traordinary rate. In Kattowitz, a city of 70,000, there are today forty newspaper^, most of them political sheets established to inflame the peo? ple over the approaching election. All sorts of arguments are used, all sorts of accusations and innuendoes are circulated. The country swarms with agitators and spellbinders; there are political organizers of real ability on both aides, especially the former deputy to tho Reichstag. Korfanty. who leads the Polish forces. Unfor? tunately, too, the country is full of arms; tho Germans have got plenty from Bavaria through the friendly offices of the Orgesch leaders; the Poles get theirs from Warsaw. The dispute over Upper Silesia Is especially warm on account of the great richness of the territory. It la perhaps the most valuable corner of the German empire. Its mines pro? duce almost a quarter of all the coal dug in Germany and are almost m exxnaustible. There are rich iron Melds round Oppeln. The richest zinc mine3 in Europe arc near Bcuthen. Lead, silver, copper, arsenic, cobalt are all found in the hills of Upper Silesia. Deprived of that region, the German metallurgical industries will be crippled indeed. They will not submit to losing it If thoy can help it. Although a large majority of tho Silesians are of Polish blood, the Germans are better educated and bet? tor organized. There is no question also that they would manage tho in? dustrial enterprises of the country more efficiently than the poles. Un? fortunately for them, they must now reap the harvest of bitterness that the imperial government sowed dur? ing its long and ruthless attempt to Germanize the Poles of Silesia. The Poles are in no mood today to listen to the argument that the prosperity of tho province would be greater in German hands. So angry is t lie feeling between Pole and German thai the defeated party may refuse to accept the re? sult. The weapons that now lie con? cealed everywhere may be brought out; and war. no less savage because circumstances would probably make it more or leas a guerrilla conflict, may follow. That is the danger that 'he league of nations, under whose authority the plebiscite will proceed. I must make every preparation to meet. KtW YORK COTTON.

(By .in", a. BrunsonL If a .liver were driven into your hand and allowed to remain, mtla matton would be quickly set up. The hand would swell, assume an angry looki and become painful. And the sensible thing for you to do would not be to apply palliation in the hope of assuaging the pain, but to remove the sliver. Tie- Bluer is the cause of the trouble. Remove it, rind the <iis tressJng symptoms will disappear. ?Sin is the moral sliver that has been driven into the human heart. It has disturbed the original relation shipi of harmony that existed between man and God. It has alienated man from God, and has caused him to he come vain in his reasonings. It awakens in him a false se'nse of inde? pendence, and leads him to imagine that he is capable of conducting the affairs of the world apart from God's guidance and help. And having sepa- j rated him from God. it exposes him to all manner of sinister suggestions, and often induces him to harbor evil thought sand to conceive dark de? signs. .Sin has produced all the problems that now confront US. War with its aftermath is of sin. Bolshe? vism that threatens to destroy the peace and prosperity of the world is its product. Industrial disputes with their strikes and lockouts are a part of its fruitage. Dishonesty, decep tlvencss, and elusion arise from it. Sickness and suffering, decay and death come in its wake. And last but not least it brings eternal condemna? tion. ?Man cannot provide any remedy for in. He is helpless. His sehe?'-, s nr social reform are not a remedy. Uli t fforts to democratize ail the relations of life will not avail. Nor is hi3 edu? cational work at all adequate. These are only palliatives. The sliver re? mains. Tin1 power of sin In the hu? man heart must be broken before re? lief can be bad. And God alone can do that. The remedy is with God. He has already provided it. It is a sure remedy, simple and safe. It has been In vogue many centuries and has been tried by many thousands, and not on^c has it failed when prop? erly applied. What Is It? It is Jesus Christ, the Lord. Said Jesus, "I am the way. and the truth, and the life. No one cometh unto the father, but through me." And the Holy Spirit through Tetor said, "In none other is there salvation: for neither is thev<? any oth< r i an ? under h riven, l hat is given among inen. svh? r< in we must be saved ' A od what Is quired of man Only to believe. " Be? lieve (on the Lord .Jesu?, and thou shalt 'he saved." "If tlmo/shalt oon t'? : :f with thy mouth JesYis as L?ord. and shall be saved. Tor with the heart' man beli? veth unto righteous? ness./and with the mouth confession is maiie unto Bat vat Ion." Believe on JesusjChrist, and <Iod will do all the rest. I He will save you toi time and et? rnjty. Then having saved you, he will Work through you to bring forth the fruit of righteousness. Jesus Christ in the only remedy lor sin, for he .and he alone. Is the way to God. Sumter Still in Lead Over Florence in Bible Class Contest.

He reported to the police, that the wheei was a com? posite ol four different bicycles and ho aUo recognized the different parts and told to whom they belonged. When one of the negroes returned for the bicycle the high sign was i giv* n and the negro, whose name was Olises White, found himself un? der the escort of Officer Barkedale and rapidly reaching his destination which of course was the guard house. Tho negro stated that he had pur? chased the frame of the bicycle from a negro named Archie Williams. A little lurther investigation into the case of Archie Williams complicated his case a little more for he was found to be carrying a loaded pistol. Archie was brought before the re? corded th:s morning on the latter charge and given the choice of a $2*> fine or spend the next thirty days on the gang. Both negroes will be held for higher court on the larceny of bicycle charges.
