O The splendid bargains offered by our merchants in this week's advertisements are worth your attention, kind reader. O We have an interesting article written by Mrs. Ida Merrill which will appear nevt week. We got the article too late to publish in this week's issue. 0 The Turk and Bulgarians continue to fight. The Mexicans continue to keep up there racket?later on will come the grind upon the masses to pay the price. O The State of South Carolina has settled down for a brief rest. No election next summer. Thank God for that. No legislature, no iaugural, no anything now save a foreign wa? or two. It is good to have a little rest now and then. o We have been very much gratified with the response our appeal for renewals has met with lately. From far and near we have been receiving: a dollar with request to have the date put forward one year. We will be pleased to hear from others. 0 The Webb bill is, unless we have failed to understand it, going to gro far towards suppressing: the illegal liquor traffic. So soon as it is tested in the courts it will then become a strong factor in the good work of wiping out the illicit dealer. O Woodrow Wilson refuses to accept gifts or any sort of proposition that even looks like graft This is just what his friends expected of him. It is the pride of his friends and the despair of his enemies. Look out for grafters getting their just deserts under the Wilson administration! O "I am against government,' was the excuse the sullen, ignorant, perhaps idiotic individual who assassw nated the king of Greece gave as a reason for his rash and dastardly act. Assassination, anarchy, lawlessness, in pretending to strike for liberty usually strike down the good rulers and leave the viscious ones. o With Monarch Mills enlarged, a handsome new postoffice building nearing completion, about the best court house in the state, a ten thousand dollar free library building and equipment, handsome church buildings, modern school buildings, street improvements and many other signs of progress, Union is forging to the front. The latest move forward is a secretary for the Chamber of Com. merce who will give his whole time to that work. "Everything is all right"; the future is bright with hope. Let everybody pull for Union. * GREEK KING SHOT DOWN IN STREET OF SALONIKI King George is Slain by His Own Subject?Shot Through Heart With Pistol Crown Prince Constantine Comes to The Throne. Saloniki, March 18.?King George of Greece was assassinated while walking in the streets of Saloniki this afternoon. The assassin was a Greek of low mentality who gave his name as Aleko Schinas. He shot the king through the heart. The king was accompanied only by an aide-de-camp, Lieut-CoL Francoudis. The assassin came suddenly at the king and fired one shot from a seven-chambered revolver. The tragedy caused intense excitement. Schinas was seized immediately and overpowered. The wounded king was lifted into a carriage and taken to the Papanon hospital. He was still breathing when placed in the carriage. Prince Nicholas ,the king's third son, and other officers hurried to the hospital. Arriving first, Prince Nicholas summoned the officers and, speaking in a voice choked with sobs, said: "It is my deep grief to have to announce to you the death of our beloved king and invite you to swear fidelity to your new sovereign, King Constantine." Crown Prince Succeeds. Crown Prince Constantine, who succeeds King George, is at present at Janina. He is expected to come here with all possible speed. The assassin of the king is an evil looking fellow about 40 years old. On being arrested he refused to explain his motive for the crime. He declared his name was Aleko Schinas, ind in reply to an officer who* asked him whether he had no pity for his country, announced that he was against governments. Schinas maintained a perfectly impassive demeanor, which was suggestive of his being irresponsible for his actions. Jonesville News Letter.

Spartanburg Journal. Santuc Letter. 1^ The Sunday School was reor? I ized at the baptist church last 9 1 day, and quite a number are starH I out as if to make it a good sclfl I and we hope they will continue I attend all the time when Providfl I permits. The officers are: Dr. jfl Jeter, superintendent; W. O. J? assistant; E. W. Jeter, secretary H treasurer. I Rev. A. McA. Pittman filled hisl pointment at the Baptist ch^J here Sunday morning, then wen? his appointment at Shiver's Spri? Rev. O. N. Rountree filled his? pointment at the Methodist chi? in the afternoon the same day. H I went down to Carlisle two days ago to attend the Fish Township Sunday Schoon convent? just to learn, to be benefited, H recreation, and to see the people^| enjoyed the time spent there, H there was not a very large att^J ance?not as much as I expe<? to see. Dr. F. M. Ellerbe, Dr. B. Smith of Jonesville, and Mr. Stt? -Inllv nnH IT P. RrnwInrrfAn were the visitors fr?m a distance.? Last week was a very rainy <? only two days could there be farm work done, out of the six, I needed to do eight, if I could, "? earth is soaking wet, but I feel t? there will be time to do all of H ploughing yet. Much other work? needed to be done yet. 4.81 inc? was the week's precipitation. I Some of the farm lands about 1? place are running down, or be? helped down at a fearful rate, if it keeps on for a decade as it ? the past few years, we will have H most galled section as background? this town that you ever saw, an<l will no more look like u desirtl "half-acre" to try to farm at. I must say whether it is by rentersi owners. Now we need that "Lai saving Commission" that I have n this country needed. Oh! yes, I may say it is not mine, and itl not any of my business, but about the people who may be oclj pying this town and section flftya sixty years hence. And, too, we n to be living in a showy section qfl It is God's creation and we havejl right to abuse it. I The coroner comes out in Times last week and says that wqfl wrong report that I heard aljfl of one Charlie Thompson (who him holding an inquest over the bl from a self-inflicted wound), that? investigated the case and did hold the inquest, and calls oh me] correct the mater through The also. I can only correct Wi t. statement in The Times, as Ae cor- ] rected it?which I guess everybody accepts as true, as I do?for I have ' no time now to hunt about to find * the source from whence the rumors ( did come. If he says he did not, wo ] all know that is true. The report I heard proves now untrue and we ac- ' cept that, but there was no "false j statement which he claimed he ] heard" misrepresenting him, or any- ] one, nor to "advertise" him, and he ] himself is taking a powerful loqg, ^ stride when he uses those terms in explaining tmngs or maKing corrections, as if he tries to think that was my motive. Rev. O. N. Rountree recently said in a sermon at the Methodist church, , preaching on the subject of "The sin I of not doing", said the sin of not doing was the damnning sin; also t that the Sunday School was an important part of the church work and that no church or Sunday School is doing what it ought to do it was comimit.t.incr n sir> ?.f /)?!?>? 1 r> ? " ""v uunif,, m?*?, men sometimes would not do things would sometimes hide behind the women and wait for them to do, would say for the women and children to go to Sunday School or church while they would stay at home. That it was a preat sin, a sin of not doing, for a man or woman to sit by, doing nothing and let the devil come right into the home and take the boy or girl off, etc. That many nice church members would stand a poor show in the "hereafter" because they sit idly by, doing nothing, not helping in any way to encourage, to set no good example, to bring the world to Christ, etc. These may not be exactly his words, but it is in substance the same so far as I could grasp them. Hey Denver. From An Aged Citizen. Editor Rice, Dear Sir: After a threemonth's struggle with la grippe and t the advanced age of 84 years, I feel that the days of my usefulness are numbered. Sixty years ago I was engaged in teaching and healing the sick. During 40 years of active service (minus four years war) I taught 1,500, probably 2,000 students. and relieved many sufferers of various diseases. During the past 12 years I have cured all aches and pains by a proper application of the "positive and negative" forces What a mass of meaning is couched in these two words! The vast vault of the starry heavens is directed by this dual force. Our earth has a North and South. A positive and negative' pole. More anon. i C. B. Bobo Sedalia. A FEW A1TI We have a S3 H?
