THE ALLIES' ANSWER The Allies make som^goo<^ glints in their reply to Germuiy's j^eace proposals. They say: "The Allied nations have sustained for thirty months a war they did everything to avoid." Referring to Belgium, the Allies say, "At this very moment, while Germany is proclaiming peace and humanity to the world, she is deporting Belgian citizens by thousands and reducing them to slavery." And here is a parting shot indicating that the Allies expect Germany not only to pay damages but to give some guarantee for good behavior hereafter: "As for the future, the disasters caused by the German declaration of ,var and the innumerable outrages committed by Germany and her alies against both belligerents and ncurals, demand penalties, reparation ind guarantees. Germany avoids nention of any of these." From all of which it docs not appear that the dove of Peace is hoverng over Europe at this time. A VOICE FROM THE WEST Hon. Josiah Poston, a leading Republican of California, explains in The Outlook why he and thousands of Republicans like him, voted the Democratic ticket in the recent election. He addresses President Wilson in this very emphatic statement: "We voted for you, Mr. President, not because we love you, though we like vou pretty well, but because we thought that by so doing we could Leach our own party that unless they become a People's party they might just as well give up the idea of having a President in the White House again." This is rather a cheering proposition for Democrats, and promises a long rei^n for Democracy, as the G. O. I*, has been controlled too long by the classes to yield to the masses. An Indian named Five Coats has applied for increase of his pension. If he has as many coats as his name i indicates he doesn't need any pen- | sion. Fifty-four people were lynched in the United States in 11)10. Georgia stands at the head of the gruesome list, with fourteen to her credit (or, rather dis-credit) ; South Carolina has two; Florida, eight; Texas, nine, and the other southern States one each. TURN ABOUT IS FAIR PLAY. Put these two news items together and then draw your own conclusions: "In the most sweeping of all decisions upholding prohibition laws, the supreme court to-day upheld as constitutional and valid the Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting shipments of liquor from "wet" to "dry" States." Then this: "An illicit whiskey distillery was raided yesterday in Pigeon Roost Swamp, near Eastover. The seizures comprised one of the mr??t [elaborate of "monshine" equipments, with 250 gallons of "mash" and a large quantity of whisky." Hon. W. F. Stevenson was asked if he saw any connection between the two items of news and he replied that while he didn't care to be quoted on the subject, he would just mention the fact that that Pigeon Roost still was not very far from Columbia and that as the legislature had just met in that city, well, it might be spite work. Or at best, an effort to teach the solons how it feels to be deprived of one's own liquor. It will be interesting to note the liquor legislation transacted at this session of the State Assembly. DOMINANT UNCLE SAM The view that Mr. Theodore II. Price, who writes for one of the great magazines, an able article upon the financial resources of the Allies, is that America runs no risk in lending money and credit to Croat Britain, Russia and France. Mr. Price says, "Should the German overtures for peace be rejected, as seems probable, and the war go on for another two years, the final issue will be largely dependent upon the financial support that shall be accorded to Great Britain and the allies in this country." mr. iTice proceeds to show that America is amply able to furnish the money at a fair rate of interest. Tables showing the wealth and population of the Allies are published from which it appears that the total wealth of the countries arrayed against Germany amounts to nearly three hundred billion dollars as opposed to one hundred billion dollars owned by Germany and the Central Powers. The wonderful progress of the United States since 1850 is shown by the statement that the resources of this country were seven billion dollars at the time while now our capital is two hundred and fifty billion dollars. Is it any wonder that Uncle Sam feels chesty with such a wonderful increase of wealth ak this? This is not all. In thrtt same period, from 1 850, our population has increased from 23,191,870 to about 110,000,000.

Mr. Turner's name will be engraved on the the handsome trophy, which stays permanently in the University Library. The cup is technically the property of the University for one year. Although the streets were muddy and a heavy mist was falling, the race was a beautiful one, in the opinion of the experts who followed the events closely. E. B. Smith won second place and A. Rogers came third in the race. FAMILY AVOIDS SERIOUS SICKNESS Bj Being Constantly Supplied Willi Thedford's Black-Draught. McDuff, Va.?"I suffered for several Sears," says Mrs. J. B. Whiitaker, ot lis place, "with sick headache, and stomach trouble. Ten years ago a friend told me to try Thrdford's Black-Draught, which I did, jnd 1 found it to be the best family medicine for young and old. I keep Black-Draught on hand all the lime now, and when my children feel a little bad, they ask me for a dose, and 11 does them more good than any medicine they ever tried. We never have a long spell of sickness in our family, since we commenced using Black-Draught." Thedford's Black-Draught Is purely vegetable, and has been found to regulate weak stomachs, aid digestion, relieve* indigestion, colic, wind, nausea, headache, sick stomach, and similar sy ."upturns. It has been In constant use for more than 70 years, and has benefited -nore than a million people. Your druggist sells and recommends Black-Draught. Pries only 25c.

Gardner " What to us is sadder from the human viewpoint than to see a bright, 11 promising life severed ritrht at the ^ very time when it .seemed that life's ^ hopes are brightest and the fairest ^ laurels crown the forehead of young e manhood or young womanhood? 'Tis true that "in the midst of life we are in death," hut very few seem h l to so thoroughly realize this truth as I c did the subject of this sketch, Mr. Robert Lee Gardner. Robert was born February the btlt, ^ 181)2 and died Wednesday, Dccen.- v her 27, ID Id. j c Robert was unlike the average boy j. inasmuch as his determination from youth was that of making a life's sur- * render to God and thereby be pre- a pared to meet the final call even though it should come at noon or midnight. And his past life bespoke t for him the most beautiful testimony, r "It is well with my soul." For a long while Robert was a member of the Friendship Sunday school and served in the capacity of ( secretary and treasurer for quite n while, and he took pleasure in working for God's cause. He did not take the work in hand as a task, but rather ( as a God-given privilege. f In early life he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and until the time of his death was 1 a loyal member at Frfiendship. On Sunday, May 2dth, 1912, Rob- i ert was married to Miss AUie Davis, ( daughter of Mr. and Mr*. W. W. | Davis, and to this happy union was j given two little girls. Mrs. Gardner and little ones, Clara, aged three, and * Evelyn, aged two, are left to realize 1 the loss of a devoted husband and 1 father's love, but we know that "God 1 is nigh u/ito those who are of a brok- i en heart." * \ Mr. Gardner also leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Gard- 1 nor, of Friendship, and four brothers i and two sisters, besides scores of 1 sympathizing friends whose prayers MBER 1901 /ED THU t*R| &AT i ' //g 6 8 ~fr|i &\ | ^T4i5?teiyj 20 21 22 if- vw. wk*''*K+r\n+':' :'r ih 1901 In, "Gentlemen," he said," ity does tell.

Caiomel salivates! It's mercury. 3nlomel acts like dynamite on a fflugfiah liver. When calomel comes into :ontact with aour bile it crashes into t, causing cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just k? .o your druggist and get a 60 cent Dottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for iangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you take calomel to-day you'll be sick and nauseated to-morrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you tajti|Ae4?on's Live Tone you will wake ajflNttag great, full of ambl tion an^HHttfey work or play.

The straight cut "little" dress expresses the spirit of the moment in elegance and novelty. But the term j "simplicity" as applied to them, is 1 merely comparative, for materials are of a richness heretofore unknown. ' And, a few pages further along, in a fashion article signed by the great New York fashion originator, Henri Bendel, we come upon these ominous words?ominous for husbands and^^^y! fathers who must pay the dressmat^W^nfl er's bills. "At Palm Beach nowadayt^jSER the woman puts on one of her dozen good-looking sports costumes in' the morning, and wears it straight through until dinner. Three years ago a woman had to dress at least three or four times a day, wearing one gorgeous creation after another. But let not anyone imagine that this change means any less expenditures. On the contrary. The most delicate and costly fabrics are used for sports clothes, and the wardrobe costs just as much as in the old days, perhaps more." I We recommend this January Harper's Bazar to all ladies among our readers; but, as suggested above, it ^ might be wise to conceal its fashion predictions from the man behind the family check book.
