We always did believe that German mentality was not half the equal of that of the average American and the way we got hold of that little note of Germany's to Mexico is one more point in evidence of this fact. When it is considered that this bit of crooked diplomacy must have been guarded with all the secrecy of which the high German officials were capable, and that all the eflicient precautions which this efficient race was able so efficiently to apply to protect this note from American eyes; :hen you consider, we repeat, that a plain untitled American swept aside this vaunted efficiency rid got a copy of this damning docu mentary evidence of German treach /, you have to hand it to his honor he American Citizen. Of course the whole story is not out yet, of how this document was procured, but we know enough to realize that a very fine piece of secret service work has been accomplisned by the American government. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION In one of the old school readers is a lesson that begins, "We must educate; we must educate, or we must perish." The vocational education l.UI ,1... 4 1 .11 ./..i uu>i mm i cceniiy oeen passed py I Congress and that has been signed by | I'rcsidvnt Wilson is a great educational measure. It means to the boys ; and girls of America an opportunity ' for practical training that will tit them for the duties of life. A threat deal of the school training, especially in the colleges and high schools, is not of that practical nature that fits the pupils for the particular avocation in life that he intends to pursue. Latin and Greek have their place in the training of the mind that is to be devoted to professional pursu:U. Hut there are thousands of your men and young women who will not enter upon professional life. One of the advocates of vocational education in Congress, Hon. Thomas I). Schall, expressed the idea in this way. He said: "A right to vocational education is one of the sacred rights of youth. The world is full of opportunities for the man who is ready for them. We need training schools for workers. The day of the apprentice, when n man labored seven years or more to learn a trade, are gone.* * * There should be vocational schools of agriculture within the reach of every farmer's boy." Webster defines vocational school as follows: "It is to provide training for the occupations or vocations, whether in the professions, commerce or trades: a trade school." Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, is the author and adviser of a great many measures of constructive legislation, and this new law is one of th<best of them all. As chairman of the Senate Committee on Education Senator Smith has labored with great zeal 10 perfect important legislation. The money for vocational trainng is to be spent for salares of teachers and supervisors in schools who will go into the homes and upon th< farms so as to reach all who are en -.aged in industrial pursuits and trades. The States are required to pend the same amount the government gives to each State. South Carolina will receive this year $K,250 and therefore have a unci ot l wo million dollars is to be appropriated by the government, which will be increased by hree million dollars to be spent annually. THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, recently paid a high tribute to the country newspaper, in discussing the postal rates as applied to newspapers. Senator Smith, of South Carolina, hud said that the loss to the government jn carrying magazines and other publications that were made up of many pages of advertising, cost the government $88,(100,000. These rich magazine publishers should be made to pay a high rate- of postage was the contention Senator Smith, but our able Senator offered this proviso: "That nothing contained herein shall affect the free-in-county privilege on secondclass matter." We can sympathize with that whale. We know exactly how he felt. We've eaten dinners that acted just like Jonah did.?Colubia Record. "Pay-up weeks" have been conducted time and time again for the butcher, the baker ahJ the candlestick maker and now we v^ant some one to launch a similar ory* for the r Sometimes She Thinks Tanlac Saved Her Life MISS MAYNOR IS 35 POUNDS HEAVIER NOW THAN WHEN SHE BEGAN TAKING IT. HAD NEARLY LOST HOPE FROM AN INVALID UNABLE TO SIT UP MORE THAN AN HOUR OR SO TO PERFECT HEALTH WAS CHANGE MADE. i Without equal in interest, perhaps, is the very remarkable statement given in endorsement of Tanlae by Miss Julia Maynor, of 12S Fairview Ave., Spartanburg. When she began taking Tanlac, she said, she was almost an invalid, but now weighs thirty-two pound? more and j considers her health perfect, and hei statement follows: "I sulfered from a terribly run down condition and I became so weak I could not eevn wash dishes and I could not ait up more than an hour or two at a time. I had no appetitte, and I had forgotten how it felt to want to eat. Everything I ate surt me and I suffered from an awful burning in my stomach. I lost flesh until I looked as if I would , almost fall to pieces. "Seven different doctors had treated me and my papa took me to j everyone I thoaght could help me. | good 1 could not tell it, and the last j time I came home from a trip to i see a doctor I was so weak I could not hardly get up the steps. "It was in January last year that I began to fail in health, and in a month I was in such bad shape I could not do anything, and 1 was in bed the greater part of the time from February to September last year, and when I began taking Tanlac I only weighed ninety pounds. "Tanlac was recommended to me and 1 finally began taking it. I gained about thirty-two pounds by taking Tanlac and I weighed 125 pounds now and am still gaining ir weight. "Really, I am about thirty-five pounds heavier i.ow than when 1 began taking Tanlac. 1 am in good health and 1 feel just as well as ! did when I stopped taking Tanlac, and the benefit Tanlac gave me is lasting. 1 ani heavier now than 1 have ever been before. "I never have stomach trouble now. I have a fine appetite and 1 cell air the tir.ic I work regularly in the Beaumont Mill now, ami ,iust a few months ago I had begun to wonder if there was anything that ' would give nie back my health and strength. Before I started taMrg Tanlac I sometimes feared my troubles might kill me. but 1 was back at work by September. "I can give Tan lac the very highest recommendation, and I do, too, because I was an invalid when 1 started Tanlac and 1 am in perfect health now and am as rosy as anyone. I am so glad I took Tanlac and I sometimes think Tanlac saved my life, for I was going down terribly fast when I began taking it."

From Charleston News and Courier: President Wilson has made answer to the untruths of Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German imperial chancellor. The answer is final, conclusive, crushing. It is the most astounding revelation in tho astounding history of the past thirty months. It consists of documentary j proof, over the signature of Herr Zimmerman, the German Foreign Ministjjj^Htt^. Germany on January 19 socrftfly proposed to Mexico an alliujaee of Germany, Mexico and Jato make war on the United Staies and to partition the territory >f this country. The mind cannot immediately rrasn all that * ? ? ??? D,,t 4u _ -4- V..ta UIVOIIO. UUt mt'I f arc Rome truths that leap to the fore and the most important of them s that Germany is now and has been for weeks and months our deadly md dangerous enemy and that her /ietory in this war almost certainly mean that we would have to fight for our lives. That is the most practically important of the truths driven home by the revelation of Germany's great conspiracy. It should absolutely govern and control the policy of this government from this time on. Germany is our enemy as much as she is the enemy of Britain and France. Her victory would threaten our existence just as it would threaten the existence of Britain and France. Our own safety, our own welfare, the lives of our own people, the existence of our own country require that Germany be defeated. We must help to defeat her. There can be no further doubt about that. The time has passed for soft concealments and for the dodging of facts. If the German submarine blackade succeeds, if it shows signs of succeeding, the United States will stand in deadly peril. For our own lives and for our own country'? safety we must do what we can to smasn the German submarine blockade. Germany has now committed against us an act of war of the deadliest kind?her secret proposal to Mexico to attack the United States and to bring Japan in. No nation ever had better warrant than the United States now has for a declaration of war. Whether or not we should take that step is now a purely military question. The answer depends solely upon whether or not a declaration of war by the United would be most conduc ivc to the defeat of Germany in the world-struggle. That is a question for those who are at the head of the Government and who know the facts. The one fact of overmastering importance is that Germany is our present and formidable enemy, that she is aiming to destrov US. that, nnr snfntv r,t. quires her defeat. That fact must determine the course of the President, of Congress, and of every loyal American.

LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS Tell* how to loosen a tender corn or callua ao it lifts out without pain. 0 You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from locwjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authorityto use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drop* are applied to any corn or cullus the aoreness is relieved and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, lifts off with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment is is applied, and simply shrivels the corn or callus without inflaming or even irritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of ' every hard or soft corn or hardened callus. If your druggist hasn't an freezone he can get it at any whole sale drag house for you. 2-Adv. FllOGRESS SEEN IN TEACHING ALIENS Movement for Americanization of Immigrants Shows Rapid Growth. MANY STATES NOW GIVE AID Uncle Sam, Through Bureau of Education, Has Brought About Cooperation Among the Various Agencies. Uncle Sam believes that notable progress bus been made during the last three years In the Americanization of Immigrants In the Uulted Ktutes. , In a report published by the bureau of education of the department of the InfnrlAi* II II Wk 14., O .Uivt.ui, 11. 11. IT 11VUIUU, In Immigration education, points out that in 1014 when the bureau of education began a national investigation of facilities for tho education of aliens, chaos existed in this Important phase of education. Few established and well-approved standards existed, and practically all methods were In tho experimental stnge. Policies, except that of federal non-interference, were known only to cities and stutes where evening schools for immigrants had been long maintained. Public agencies of various kinds were endeavoring to treat the problem each In its own way, without definite endenvor to co-operate with other ugencles, and with no fixed policies. Immigrant education was considered at this time primarily a matter for local attention and Jurisdiction. The spectacle of cities working out methods Independently and adopting fnds in Immigration education without the co-ordinating influence of even a clearing house of information was so common as hardly to excite comment. State supervision, and especially state aid, had not ut this time been seriously considered. Only one stnte, New Jersey, had specified financlul aid for the encouragement of Immigrant classes.

Again, the creation and maintenance of Bngllsh and civics classes were utiliaed as a means of building up the schools of private agencies, many of which, if Investigated, would not have received full public sanction. The efforts of some private agencies, furthermore, well well-meaning, but directed through the wrong channels. In tracing developments since 1014, Mr. Wheaton declares: "Progress In every way has been rapid, definite, and extensive. Governmental authorities everywhere, city, state and federal, have expressed serious Interest in the problem, and have taken definite steps to provide adequate facilities. Municipalities have seen that the education of the Immigrant, especially through the provision of evenlnir elnsspfi. In in ho ii-oni<ui ns a fundamental part of the educational system, rather than as an Incident or adjunct to the day-school system to be maintained or not at will, or according to the amount of money In the school treasury. Many of che states, such as California, Michigan, and New York, and particularly the state department of educntlon, have come to appreciate the fact that the immigrant Is not merely a local problem. The transitory nature of his employment, and hence residence, have been Increasingly appreciated in their bearing upon his educntlon. While the primary obligation of the city has been acknowledged, both officials and citizens have grown to see that the secondary obligation of the state to assist the city and the local school district In this particular type of educntlon Is one of such Imperative nature as to demand financial assistance and state supervision und coordination of activities. More Co-operation Now. On the other hand, prlvute agencies have seen the futllltv of eomnetltlon among themselves and with public _ i agencies and Institutions. Hence they have Increasingly adopted the practice of establishing facilities only where they do not exist, or where public fucllltles cunnot, for financial reasons, he made to meet the local problem. The practice has become more and more established of placing prl- -f vate facilities under the supervision of appropriate public school ofllclals, ' and of turning over to the latter such facilities as ruphlly as financial and other reasons will permit. The result Is toduy that the evolution of educntlon has forced a large meusure of co-operation on the part of agencies and individuals Interested in the training of immigrants for citizenship In America.
