Mrs. Edna Funderburk Favors
Germany and Condemns
England
Mrs. Edna V. Funderburk, the
well known writer of prose and
poetry, whose home is near
Dudley, writes The Journal a
little of what she thinks of the
conduct of Germany and Eng
land in the Great War:
Now as l understand it and
see it about all of the newspapers
in our country are in sympathy
with the Allies in the European
War; and l have wondered why.
| meet great many people and
people of intelligence too who
DO not hesitate to say that they
Fympathize with Germany and
he fact IS don't remember hav-
ng met but one since that was
started who favored the Allies.
Now, l have been informed that
England and her Allies are now
Catholic and that Germany is
|freer from Catholicism than any
country on earth-ours not ex.
cepted. If l ever had any SYM
pathy for England it is gone
since she SO heartlessly put to
death the Irishmen who led that
rebellion. l have been inform
ed in many ways that England
greatly oppresses Ireland, and
has done so through many years.
/ gather that Ireland only stays
under her rule because she can
not help her self.
These people who tried to get
out from under that iron rule
had as much right to do what
they did as we Southerners had
to try to come from the North,
perhaps even more because per-
haps England opprcsses them
more than the North did the
South before the War. If after
the North won in the strife they
had taken Lee and Davis, dead
ers in the rebefioD and put
them to death do you suppose
we would have been the united
country we are today? Well, 1
don't. We might have been
lighting until yet. And now, l
believe that England by doing
this awful deed has sounded her
own doom. She may win in
this fight, / do not know, but
sooner or later she will pay for
her awful deed and pay dearly.
Vengeance is some times slow
but it is sure and when she
comes she pays in an hundred
fold. Now some of our papers
are trying to find something to
admire in England's deed! They
remind me of the old lady who
was so gentle that she always
spoke good of every body and
never spoke evil, no matter what
they did. So one day some one
tried to see if they could get her
to speak evil of the devil. They
made some remark in her pres
ence about the old imp's rascal
ity. Well, out of force of habit
/ suppose, she took up for him
and told them she greatly ad.
mired his perseverance. I'll ad-
NIT that the devil is not lazy, but
| don't like him for all that
and I'm not going to try to de.
fend him.
1t seems to me that some of
the things that have been said
in an attempt to defend Eng
lands act sounds very weak.
Now, / do hope the Deutsh,
land will get safely home and |
would like to have had the
chance to wish her Captain God
speed. May the good Lord
watch over her as she goes down
into the wafer as he watched

Fist Fight Feature of Campaign
Meeting

u
Meeting
The State Campaign meeting
for Chesterfield county was held
at the county seat last Thursday.
A large crowd was in attend
ance, and the various candidates
presented their claims and the
day passed off quietly, save a fist
fight at the rear of the speakers
platform. irhe reporter for the
Columbia State gave the follow
ing account Of the meeting:
Chesterfield, Aug. 17.-Anoth-
er fist fight featured the cam
paign meeting here today, the
combatants being E. G.. L. Ad-
ans, candidate for lieutenant
governor, and L. A. Wilkes of
Darlington, who championed the
cause of Andrew ]. Bethea. DR..
Adams was the second speaker,
following his opponent, Mr.. Be
thea. The concluding portion of
DR.. Adams speech was joke
about a negro's pig in a bag be
coming a puppy at the other end
of the line. In applying this to the
conduct of Mr.. Bethea, DR.. Ad.
ans said he didn't care to have
anything to do with any man
who was a christian at one end
of the line and crook at the
other" DR.. Adams was walk
ing to the door at the back of
the stage with these as his con-
Guiding words when he was in
tercepted by Mr.. Bethea, who
asked what was that he had said.
II said it,"+Dr. Adams replied.
Instantly Mr.. Wilkes flashed
through the doorway and land
ed a heavy blow on DR.. Adams
chin. The two clincned and
fell to the floor before others
could intervene. They strug-
gled and writhed until they were
dragged apart. In the afternoon
Mr.. Wilkes was fined $40.
The Darlington county man
said he had known Mr.. Bethea a
number of years ago when the
two were small boys in school,
but that they had not been to-
gether since. He said he had
championed the cause of Mr..
Bethea of his own initiative.
Barring this incident the day
was of the conventional order.
Jonn T. Duncan injected a
colloquy with Former Gov.
Blease. Mr.. Blease had told
how George Young of Laurens
county, "a Confederate veteran"
had been murdered. Mr.. Dun
can declared that the victim
was not Confederate veteran.
MIR. Blease referred the case to
X. A. Cooper, solicitor of the
Eighth circuit, who prosecuted
the murderer.
IF the facts are not as have
stated, I'll withdraw the race and
disgrace myself for life by vo-
ting for Dick Manning for gov
ernor," said Mr.. Blease.
Mr.. Duncan interrupted Mr..
Cooper long enough today to
ask Mr.. Cooper If Young was a
Confederate veteran. "He was
not a Confederate veteran" Mr..
Cooper promptly replied. Mr..
Duncan thanked Mr.. Cooper
and added that he had made
Gov Manning at least one vote.
Ii was charged today that DR..
{. Fred Williams, against whom
SO much denunciation has been
directed, is not the superintend-
ent OF the State Hospital for the
Insane after all. Hes no more
superintendent than you are"

crowd. Brains IN direct tho
