GERMANY ADMITS
WAR WITH !. s.
AMERICAN RESIDENTS REQUIRED
TO REPORT DAILY TO POLICE

from Americans in Berlin that the
German military authorities have
issued orders that Americans are now
to be regarded as hostile foreigners

leave their homes between 10 clock

dents of Berlin, go outside the police

THE FALL OF A NATION"
Presents Vital Theme For Consid GRAFTON
By Every American.

THE Fall of Nation, (which will
be presented for the first time at the
Uwana Theatre. Monday night, May
14,tells vital story of international
significance. A confederation cf Eu'
ropean powers decides to seize North
America and annex it to Europe. A
secret army of the foreign.born is
raised in New York. AS the greatest
city of the North American States
has few armed defenders. it is an
easy task to capture it overnight.
Meanwhile. $50, 900 trained troops,
fresh from the European wars. are
rapidly transported across the Allan
tic with all their equipment of great
guns, poison gases, liquid fire and
bombs. Efecting a landing. they cas-
lily vanquish the small North Amer.
can army, join the foreign-born con-
querors of New York, and march to
Washington, where they depose the
President, and put in his place the
Imperial Viceroy of the Provinces
of North America"
1t is against this terrible danger
that Thomas Dixon, the author of
the spectacle, provides an awful
warning.

Mr.. Baker Replies.
Editor County Record

Editor County Record
Recent issues of your valuable pa
per contain criticisms of the free
distribution of seed in Williamsburg
county. One article furnished by
a Mr. Haselden of Hemingway and
another by MIR Thompson. of near
Greelyville.
Let me say to these gentlemen
and to the public that the Govern
ment's request and instructions were
carried out as nearly to the letter as
possible, and that the difficult task
of distributing a limited amount of
seed to only some two hundred
and fifty of the many needful far
mers in the county was accomplish
ed as best it could be by the method
designated.
1t is quite possible that occasion
ally seed were inadvertently given
to those able to buy for themselves,
but such cases are the exception.
And if the critics would furnish the
names of those who did receive seed
unworthily we would report their
complaint to the Government for
such consideration as it might deem
proper.
Mr. Haselden was absolutely mis-
taken as to his statement of black
smith receiving seed and not plant
ing same. Mr. Hemingway furnish
ed the land free of any rent for this
man to plant the seed. | can get
an affidavit, if he so desires, to this
effect.
believe that fully 9O% of those
receiving seed were in urgent need
and that they have appreciated what
the Government has done. regret
that there are those who would crit
icize the honest efforts of those who
assisted in the distribution of the
seed secured from the Government
unless there were concrete grounds
for complaint, for such criticisms
tend to make public spirited citizens
refrain from active service when
their help may be needed.
The part which | took in the work
was by direction of the Government
to whom l am responsible. and it
fell to my lot by virtue of my posi-
ton as farm demonstration.
Respectfully.
C. w BAKER.
Farm Demonstration Agent.

Gilland Hall.

The sad and untimely death
of young Gilland Hall of Camden
while on duty at the railroad
trestle near Kingstree as a member
of the First Regiment, South Carolina
National Guard, some time between
midnight and a o'clock Monday
morning sent feeling of gloom and
sadness into the hearts of the people
of this community. Most Of them
had seen him, with companion. in
the uniform of United States SOL
dier at a religious service only a
few horsu before he was killed. At
this service the writer sat by him in
the Presbyterian church. He was a
picture of health; strong, robust
and manly in appearance, and some-
thing, utterly indescribable here,
caused the thought to run through
our mind that this stranger, Gilland
Hall, was not only a soldier Of the
United States army but a soldier of
a higher and nobler calling-a SOL
dier of Jesus Christ.
Since his sad death We have learn
ed through the officers of his COM
pany and comrades in the military
that he was an exemplary young
man, at all times doing his best to
serve the Master.
Doubtless these facts will be a
great consolation to those to whom
this young man was nearer and
dearer by kinship ties.
