Hang your clothes on a hickory limb
But don't go near the water
If we are going to fight we must go
where the fighting is. The bat
tle-line is in Europe, not in Amer
ica. The Power that destroyed
our ships and killed our citizens is in
Europe, and there we must go with
Pershing to make certain for our peo-
pie and for the people of the world
that the present rulers of Germany
shall no longer be permitted to ter
rorize humanity. What folly 1t
would be for us to wait until the ar
mics of Germany break through the
lines of the allies and come to the
shores of America. The devastation
worked upon the South during the
civil war is fresh enough in the minds
of our people to cause them to realize
the wisdom of joining the allied ma
tions on the soil of Europe. rather
than to wait for a victorious Germa-
ny to invade our land.
We Must Unite.
The best service we can render our
country to-day-Hby letting the world
know we unitedly stand for the pros
ecution of this war If l engage in a
lawsuit with you and while the suit
is pending my wife goes forth into
the community declaring that I am
wrong in bringing the suit and that
my cause is an unholy and unrighte-
Gus one, the only effect is to cause
you to believe your cause righteous
one and inspire you to greater efforts
for success You would likely hire
another lawyer and pursue the litiga-
ton to the highest courts. To-day
when newspapers declare that at pub
lie meetings in South Carolina the
majority of the people express their
opposition to the war, these declara-
tions are carried to the enemy and
must give them aid and comfort.
Such action can only result in pro-
longing the war and causing the
death of thousands of our young
men. If on the other hand the Ger
man government is convinced that
the people are united, it will cause
them more quickly to come to terms
of peace and will save the lives of
many of our sons. No man can
serve two masters. He must be 10y
al either to this government or to the
government of Germany The man
who is for Germany and against the
country that protects him should go
to Germany. \
We must not allow local or State
politics to control or influence our
views or actions in this national
crisis. It makes no difference wheth-
er man be "Tillmanite," a
"Bleasite," or an anti-Bleasite, fac
tional politics should be obliterated

this difference if each individual
would only cut down his amount Of
-four consumed weekly from the
normal supply of five pounds to four.
He assured his hearers that the
government is not asking the people
to starve, but merely to conserve,
eliminate waste and to substitute
other foods for those which must be.
sent abroad, whenever possible. He
said that Europe could not use corn
meal for they did not have the roller
mills to prepare it, and therefore we
should make good use of these corn
products here at home, so that the
wheat could be sent abroad. He re-
ferred to our food supply as Ameri-
cas- greatest gold mine. He said the
government was not demanding any
thing from anybody, was simply ask
ing pledge of loyalty to save food,
and that every food pledge is an
endorsement of Americas position.
The French Helped Us.
The revolutionary times were re-
called, when before the French
government entered officially into
that war, her people came to our
assistance with their money procured
from them through the solicitation of
a South Carolinian, John .Laurens.
Mr.. Smell said that when famine af-
flicts any nation in war times the
soldiers at the front are not the first
to suffer, for the reason, that they
have the government to take care Of
them, but that the real suffering
comes to the women and children at
home first. He said that the one
greatest moral to be grasped from
the war was that of self-sacrifice
and self-denial, and that when the
American people will have drawn
that from the conflict they will have
accomplished the greatest thing pos
sible, for the betterment as national
people. He closed with dramatic
appeal to the people for their loyal
cooperation.
The Rev. D. H. Owings, of Ehrhardt,
made the closing prayer and pro-
nounced the benediction, after which
the audience adjourned. Much good
was accomplished by the meeting,
and the men in charge of the local
situation were greatly aided in get
ting their work under headway for
the diligent drive which is to come in
these matters.
Much credit is due to Mr.. J. A. Wy
man for the success of the meeting,
being instrumental in getting Mr..
Byrnes here. Mr.. Wyman had also
made arrangements with Congress
man Asbury F. Lever, Of Lexington,
to be one of the speakers of the day,
but, to the regret of many, Mr.. Lever
was at the last minute unavoidably
detained in Batesburg and Columbia.

of citizens of the United States, the
German retaliation affected neutrals,
which was not the intention, as re-
taliation should be confined to enemy
subjects"
Accepting this statement of the
German government in good faith,
we continued our diplomatic rela-
tions. But it was only year later,
to-wit: February 1st, 1917, that the
German government put into effect
their policy of ruthless submarine war
fare described in it's note as follows:
"Under these circumstances Ger
many will meet the illegal measures
of her eAemies by forcibly prevent
ing after Feb. /, 1917, in zone
around Great Britain, France and
Italy, and in the eastern Mediterra-
mean, all navigation-that of neu-
trails included-from and to Eng
land, and from and to France, etc.
All ships met within that zone will
be sunk"
This meant that if an American
ship carrying a cargo of cotton was
found within four hundred miles of
the coast of Great Britain, France,
or anywhere in the Mediterranean
sea, except a very restricted area, it
would be sunk without warning. For
what Germany called the illega,
measures of her enemies she would
punish US and other neutrals. They

HEAVY Loss
BY POISON
J. II. and J. W. Adams Lost
Four Fine Mules -

-Four valuable mules owned by
Jas. ii. and John w. Adams died
Tuesday from some mysterious cause,
which DIR. R. L. Bradley diagnosed as
ptomaine poison. The mules were at
John w. Adams and one was found
dead in the stall. Soon afterwards
another was found outside the stable
down. and two others very sick. A
veterinarian was called, but could do
nothing and the mules all died in an
hour or two.
How they got hold of the poison is
not known. The corn and hay fed
to them seems to be sound and good
and Mr.. Adams has no idea what
caused his heavy loss. The mules
were worth from 81, 900 to ST, 200.

A Smart Way of Developing Spotted
Fabrics

For day wear the most prominent
colors are sand, beige, navy blue and
sulphur. There are many attractive
combinations such as dark blue or
black with red, tan with light blue or
rose, and navy blue with green. The
dotted materials, which are very prom
inent are usually combined with q
plain color matching the background
of the dotted fabric.
The sketch shows summery frock
of fine white voile, with flouncing
forming the side tunics, and the vest
like front of the waist. A ribbon
girdle supplies the color note in this
dainty all-white frock. A narrow RIB
bon of the same color as the girdle
holds in the soft gathered puff Of the
undersleeve at the wrists. Cut ma
chine stitching is the finish used for
the collar and vest, as well as on the
edges and sleeves.
In the second sketch is shown 9
dress in one of the popular spotted
fabrics, with plain sleeves, pockets and
belt. This is one Of the ways Of de-
veloping spotted fabric, relieved by 2
plain color, in order to get the best
effect.

the lovers Of this graceful style will
be glad to know. Draping is one of
the means Of accomplishing the oval
silhouette with the skirt narrowing
down at the hem and plenty Of fulness
about the waist and hips.
The Width and Length of Skirts
There is no rule about the width or
I the length of skirts, for they vary ac-
cording to the caprice Of the designer.
Some skirts are narrow and yard at
the hem, while others are just as wide
las the old ones of three yards. 1t is
lust the same with the lengths Of
skirts. While 4A0me reach the ankles,
the shoe-top length and even slCfEer
is used in other models. SkirtsSk Tor
street wear are for the most part i'm.
inclined to be narrow. In evening
gowns, the puffed effect of skirts loop
ed under to a narrow foundation is
used to a great extent, and this same
effect also appears here and there
among the afternoon gowns.
Pockets have not been discarded by
any means, nor is there any evidence
of lack Of inspiration for new ways
Of fashioning them.
Embroidery is still. the order Of the
day, and the more Oriental looking the
more stylish it will be. Another form
of decoration much in use is the heavy
machine stitching applied either in
rows upon rows or in fancy designs.
This is such a simple trimming for
women to copy that it's popularity is
assured. On woolen material, a heavy
silk like that used for crocheting is
used at the top Of the machine with
ordinary sewing silk at the bottom.
The stitching should be as large as the
machine will allow, and the needle
must necessarily be very large. When
this stitching is used on linen or heavy
cotton fabrics, a heavy mercerized cot.
ton is used instead of silk.
The Revival of Foulard

Whether the silhouette would be

as day and night. They blessed him for
his punctuality, and not one of them
missed him when he was gone. A strange
man was Breault.
With his back against tree, where
he had propped himself after the first
shock of the bullet in his lung, he took a
last look at life with passionless imper-
turbability. If there was any emotion at
all in his face it was one of vindictiveness
an emotion reused by an intense and
terrible hatred that in this hour saw the
fultilment of it's vengeance.
He measured the distance between him.
self and the sledge. 1t was perhaps a
dozen PAGES. The dogs were still stand
ing. tangled little in their traces,-eight
of them, -wide-chested, thin at the groins,
a wolfsh horde, built for endurance and
speed. On the sledge was quarter of a
ton of his Majesty's mail. Toward this
Breault began to creep slowly and with
great pain. A hand inside of him seemed
crushing the fiber of his lung, so that the
blood oozed out of his mouth. When he
reached the sledge there were many red
patches in the snow behind him. He
opened with considerable difficulty small
dunnage sack, and after fumbling bit
took therefrom pencil and an envelop.
For the first time change came upon
his countenance-a CHASTITY smile. And
above his kissing breath, that gushed be-
tween his lips with the sound of air
pumped through the fine mesh of col
ander, there rose still more CHASTITY
croak of exultation and of triumph. La
boriously he wrote. A few words, and the
pencil dropped from his stiffening fingers

into the snow. Around his neck he wore
a long red scarf held together by big
brass pin, and to this pin he fastened
securely the envelop.
This much done,-the mystery of his
death solved for those who might some
day find him,-the ordinary man would
have contented himself by yielding up
lifes struggle with as little more physical
difficulty as possible. Breault was not
ordinary. He was, in his one way, eff
cheney incarnate. He made space for him.
self on the sledge, and laid himself out in
that space with great care, first taking
pains to fasten about his thighs two
babiche thongs that were employed at
times to steady his freight. Then he ran
his left arm through one of the loops
of the stout mail-chest. BY taking
these precautions he was fairly secure
in the belief that after he was dead
and frozen stiff no amount of rough
trailing by the dogs could roll him from
the sledge.
In this conjecture he was right. When
the starved and exhausted malamutes
dragged their silent burden into the
Northwest Mounted Police outpost bar
racks at Crooked Bow twenty-four hours
later, an ak and sapling bar were re-
quired to pry Francois Breault from his
bier. Previous to this process, however,
Sergeant Fitzgerald, in charge at the out
post, took possession of the soiled envelop
pinned to Breaults red scarf. The infor-
nation it bore was simple, and yet ex-
ceedingly definite. Few men in dying as
Breault had died could have made the
matter easier for the police.
On the envelop he had written:
