Those OF US who lived in the years
Immediately following the war be-
tween the states remember the an
tipathy of the northern people towards
that section of our population which
opposed the war and sought to stop
IL. To this element the name copper
head" was given The copperhead
OF the Sixties was the fellow who
sympathised with the rebellion and
who, by sowing his seed OF discomfort
sought TO weaken the hand OF Lincoln
and strengthen that OF rebellion. He
gained his name from the snake of
that species and his actions justified
the appellation.
The copperhead was sung about in
the songs of the day one stanza of a
song popular with the army at the
front running:
Tell the traitors all about you
That their cruel words we know.
In every battle they kill our soldiers
BY the aid they give our foe"
Judging from the occurrences OF
the past few weeks this specia OF
traitor didn't pass away with the sue
cess Of Lincoln in saving the union.
We have his descendant with MS today.
He's the fellow who seeks to tie the
hands Of the president ana 10 make a
laughing stock of our nation by such
propagandas as a referendum before
war shall be declared II, in the der
yelopment of affairs, Pres. Wilson
finds IL necessary to so declare war
II was the loyal democrats OF the
Sixties that made Lincoln's work
success. II the time comes when ac-
tion is necessary may it be said that
II was the loyal republicans of the
early twentieth century that made II
possible for Pres. Wilson to uphold
the honor and dignity Of this nation
Down with the copperhead and up
with that other sentiment.
Our Country may she always ne
right, but right or wrong, Our Coun-
try"

DON'T SELL YOUR BROOD SoWs; RAISE MORE MEAT

Clemson College, S. C.-The hog
situation at present indicates good
prices for next year. This years
sales to date at eleven Of the leading
distributing centers Of the United
States show decrease Of about one
million hogs as compared with the
same period last year. Some farmers
may be so near sighted as to sell their
breeding stock on account Of the good
prices hogs are now: commanding.
Don't let these high prices persuade
you to dispose Of yoNr breeding stock
Bear in mind that the brood SOW is
the source Of next years supply. It
seems certain that there will be a
strong demand for pork next year both
in America and Europe. regardless Of
whether the war continues or not.
