In regard to the unreliability
of the war news, wouldn't it be
a good scheme to cut out the
stuff altogether2 There is moth

haps if theAmerican press would
ignore the rot sent out by the
censors they would allow some
thing worth while to be sent out.
AS it is, it keeps every body con-
fused.

o9 Happy Thanksgiving

At this season of univer-
sal rejoicing, when we prepare
the Thanksgiving feast, let US
not forget that our lov will be
made the more complete if we
can bring, by generous remem.
/ brances on that dav, a gleam of
sunshine and good cheer into
some home of poverty and sad.
ness.
There is no Joy like the JOY
of doing good to others. Search
out the poorest and neediest of
your Observation-Disclosures are
few neighborhoods without t
them-and so far as lies within
YOUR power to make the day to
them one Of real rejoicing. See
to it that no one within your
reach goes hungry on Thanks
giving Day.
Though your circumstances
may be far from affluent, re-
member that there are many
much poorer, and your humble
meal will be all the sweeter for
being shared with others. If
Providence has blessed you with
an abundance Of the good things
of this life, your banquet will be
the princelier and your heart
the lighter when you sit down
with your guests if you know
that your bounty has been re-
replenished by some poor mans
table, or gladdened the heart of
some humble mother, who will
speak your name with a bless
ing, while her hungry children
eat their Thanksgiving dinner.
Yours should be a feast, the
| pure enjoyment Of which is
heightened by the knowledge
that your table is set not in your
own comfortable house alone,
but that it reaches out to the
less fortunate, and that guests
unseen, but grateful, are ban
quoting with you.
On such a Thanksgiving feast
the Divine blessing will descend
| in double measure. May that
| Joy be experienced by every
home into which The Sentinel
comes.
We wish all our friends

The Tragedy of Strong Drink


The youth standing on the threshold of life asks:

Who hath sorrow!
Who hath contentious!
Who hath complaining!
Who hath wounds without cause!
Who hath redness of ewes?
And if he will hear the voice of WISDOM the answer s
They that tarry long at the wine:
They that 20 to seek mixed wine.
The warning from experience in all the ages also speaks
and says:
Look not thou upon the wine
When it is red,
When it sparketh in thecuD,
When it goeth down smoothly;
At last it biteth like serpent,
And stingeth like an adder
Needless of these warnings the vision is:
Thine eyes shall behold strange things
And thine heart shall utter perverse things,
YEA thou shalt be as he that lieth down in
the midst of the sea-
Or as he that lieth upon the top of mast.
In his debauch and stupor hear him soloquze thus:
They have stricken me-
And was not hurt;
They have beaten me,
And felt it not;
When shall awake
will seek it yet again.-Prov. %: 1886.

Should Settle Down.

South Carolinians might we'll take
the advice Of the Columbia State
and remember that all must live in
the State together. There should
not be any gloating over the defeat
of Governor Blease for the Senate
although a few heartfelt prayers,
we submit, would not be amiss-but
there should be a readjustment to
changed conditions. Senator E. D.
Smith will continue to represent the
interests of his State, and it is as
sured that a good man in Richard L.
Manning will be nominated in the
second primary for Governor. The
people OF South Carolina have been
led by damagogues long time, but
it is time they are demanding more
in their leaders than ability to cuss
niggers. pardon convicts and other

Russian Musicians.

1t is said that there is band of
forty or fifty pieces in every Russian
regiment, and as there are over one
thousand regiments, there are fifty
thousand musicians in the Russian
army. Counting music pupils and
sailors bands, there are one hundred
thousand musicians in the Russian
military and naval forces more
than twice as many as there are men
in the standing army Of the United
States. Ivan Narodny in Medical
America tells of the good these
bands accomplish. They refine the
soldier, furnish music for the small
towns in summer and otherwise
furnish entertainment for millions.
In the Russo-Japanese war, the
writer says, thirty-nine musicians
were killed in one regiment. but the
sole musician remaining, a fiutist,
continued to play until he and the
bandmaster were taken prisoners =

Mrs. Joe Johnson and BfOther.In-LaW
Will be Tried This Month.

WILLIAMSON, Sept. 4.-The coming
in Of September and the near ap-
proach of the session of the Superior
court of Martin county brings to
mind the trial of Mrs. Joe Johnson
and her brother-in-law, Arch John
son, for the murder of her husband
near Oak City, small village in this
county. on Saturday night in July
last. Mrs. johnson and her brother
in-law have been in Jail here since
their arrest, and Mrs. johnson, par
ticularly, has been the subject of
much conversation, as it is so very
unusual for a woman to be in the
Jail here especially for the crime of
murder.
She has had many visitors from all
classes, many have kept her supplied
with books and magazines. some
with Bibles ond other religious liter
ature, and some have gone to have
religious worship with her. 1t will
be remembered that she has already
acknowledged her crime. and her
reason for the awful deed was that
she loved her husbands brother,
and they together planned the mur-
der, which she committed while
riding in buggy with her husband
on their way to church. She is in
one of the rooms on the second floor
of the jail which she keeps in a very
tidy condition. She has placed her
books and periodicals on tables
around the room, small buncnes of
flowers are to be seen; she keeps her
bed in clean condition and a gen
eral appearance Of tidiness is appar-
ent. She seemingly shows no un-
easiness, and appears to be very
bright and cheerful.
A touching incident occurred 6
few days ago when her little child
about twenty months old was
brought to see her. The mother
being very happy at the thought o1
again seeing her baby and agair
holding the little thing in her arms
made her room especially attractive
put on her best and freshest clothes
and awaited with eagerness the ar
rival of the little baby When tht
child was brought in she had forgot
ten her mother, and would not g
to her for some time. After care
full persuasion. however, she did G,
to her mother, and the young wo
man spent several happy hours will
her little baby. She has not lost tn
mother instinct, notwithstandin,
the seemingly depraved condition 0
her mind.
The man Johnson, who is not a
intelligent a person as the woman
is confined in the cell on the frs
floor of the Jail. He says that tn
prisoners who escaped from the jai
last week offered to let him go out
but he refused to do so. He spend
. his time looking at pictures in mag
azines which have been brought t
him, and in smoking.

Reducing Food Prices.

New York, at least, appreciates
the old adage, Necessity is the
mother of invention" Just when
food prices were reaching dizzy
heights, and people were beginning
to suffer because of their inability
to buy food, something happened.
Sugar was out Of sight. Meat was
up in the air. Flour was beyond
reach. Farm products were be-
coming dearer. Then the House
wives League got busy and the city
got busy and the result was that in
a few hours prices on leading pro-
ducts had tumbled from twenty-five
to sixty per cent.
The oft-championed idea of mu-
nicipal free market was adopted and
put into operation. Space for five
hundred carts and over hundred
farm wagons was set aside and the
women of New York were told that
if they really wanted cheap foods,
to get their market baskets and
avail themselves of the opportunity
offered. The result was not long
delayed. In an hour the farmers
had emptied their wagons, and the
housewives had secured fresh pro-
duets at much cheaper prices than
they had been paying through the
whole year. Goods sold at this open
market were in many cases fifty per
