"ToE KISSING"
Subservieney Of America to England is
Not Pleasant.

In his autobiography Cellini tells
Of kissing the Pope's great toe. He
counted the privilege an honor and
dwells upon the incident with con-
siderable JUNCTION.
1 am reminded Of Cellini when l
read editorials in those papers that
aligned themselves with England
last year and have endeavored since
to defend and explain each Of Eng
lands violations of this nations
rights.
When England broke her word
and insisted that cotton be put on
the contraband list, these toe-kissing
editors defended the action because
the suppression Of cotton shipments
to Germany is essential to the allies
success"
When England picked up cargoes
of cotton from neutral ships bound
from free American ports to neutral
countries and answered complaint
with the promise to pay at her
leisure. these same spineless editors
wrote reams Of buncombe in extern
uation.
When England announced that
she could not permit the shipment
of cotton to Holland, Denmark and
Sweden, for fear it be eventually
transferred to Germany, these edi-
tors urged the cotton planters u re-
main calm. Remember" said they,
Germany can't get much of our
cotton this year, while England will
be a good customer. Therefore we
mustn't make England mad or she
may refuse to buy from u.s."
This idea being, 1 suppose, that If
England got mad at us she would
thereafter use a magic wand and
get cotton out Of the air. I wonder
she doesn't get her food supplies and
ammunition that way now.
Having exhausted adjectives and
logic in their efforts to explain away
other evidences Of England's per-
fldy, l wonder what these chaps will
say to the fact that England's ship
. ments of cotton to neutral countries
have increased almost two thousand
per cent since the war began. VIII
they endeavor to make their readers
believe that Holland is using in the
, arts of peace nineteen times as much
cotton as she used year ago?
Surely the people have reached
the limit of gullibility.
England denies the rights to ship
cotton to neutral countries, contend
ing that Germany might get it. But
England permits her manufacturers
to ship unlimited supplies Of cotton
to those same neutral countries and
England knows that Germany gets
large part Of it.
The truth Of the matter is, Eng
land has bluffed US off the seas and
has backed up the efforts Of her own
merchants to grab trade that should
be ours. She has been double-dealing
with us, and pocketing a profit-per-
mitting her own people to serve the
enemy, but denying us that right. But
the toe-kissers feel no anxiety. They
have slobbered over England for so
long that all other terrestrial matters
are out of their range Of vision. If
England does it, it must be right.
This nation has many enemies. The
most despicable Of them are these
jelly fish who, rather than offend Eng
land, would see this nation on it's up
pers.
If this government had the grit Of
it's former years. England could be
brought to time within week. With
out guns, clothing, machinery, food
and supplies from this country she
would be helpless.-Fountain Inn
Tribune.

Hail Storm.


Hail Storm.
On Saturday last, q destructive and
widespread storm Of wind and hail
passed over the central portion Of this
district from southwest to northeast.
The injury to growing crops In its
track was severe. In many places the
wheat crop Is entirely destroyed. The
damage to fencing is also heavy. Many
persons dependent upon their wheat
crops for bread for the next few months
have been placed in a deplorable con-
dition.
On Tuesday another terrific tornado
passed over us from the same direction,
uprooting trees and unroofing num-
ber of houses. A number Of old wood
en- buildings were turned over without
injury to the occupants as far as we
can learn. The handsome hotel build
ing Of Mr.. w. E. Rose was partially
unroofed. The streets and sidewalks
Of this town are literally covered with
the debris Of the storm.
At this writing we have heard moth
ing from our farming friends as to the
injury done them by this last storm,
but from the evidences Of the fury
here the crop must have suffered
heavy additional injury.

Tho Soldier Monument.

The proposition to erect in the pub
the memory Of the deceased soldiers
in the late war, commends itself to US
as sacred and Christian duty that
no consideration should allow us to
postpone. The political changes that
have occurred since the termination OF
the struggle do not alter the conditions
Of our duty. They were our defenders,
they went to the field of strife at our
bidding, and our honor and the causes
in which we pledged them was entrust-
ed to their keeping. They fulfilled
that trust at the cost Of their lives.
We cannot consent If we would, to let
their names be forgotten. We who sur
vive the conflict should be the last to
dishonor it.
The object appeals to the tenderest
sympathies Of our hearts. Clustered
around them in the richest fragrance Of
love and affection stands the names Of
these fallen ones, and they were Of our
own household, our fathers, husbands,
brothers and sons. We cannot forget
them nor would We willingly let their
memories be forever lost to those who
follow us.
There is not family in all the land
that has not lost some treasured friend
by the war whose name they would
gladly perpetuate by some fitting re-
cord. A few dollars from each will Sc
cure the object.
