Germany to Press Lunatics into Service

Germany to Press Lunatics into Service.
Atlanta, Ga, April 30:-An uncen:
sored letter from Switzerland to a
German. born resident in this city
declares that Germany has become
so hard pressed for men that the
government is planning to call into
service all the inmates of German
insane asylums except the most vio-
lent.
The plan is to take the milder
kind of (iunatics and put them to
work on the roads and farms, and
possibly even to drill them in the
home guard,i if possible. 1t is argued
that much useful labor is wasted by
the idleness of insane men who are
subject only occasionally to fits Of
violence or temper.
The letter is interesting chiefly as
showing the desperate expedients to
which Germany is forced as the
iron ring" of the allies gradually
tightens around her.

DR.. Thacker and Mr.. Jelks Here.

The Rev DR. J E Thacker of Nor
folk, Va, and his choir leader and
soloist, Mr. James " Jelks. have ar
rived in Kingstree, the latter reach
ing here Tuesday, and Mr. Thacker
day later.
Tuesday>evenings Mr. Jelks held a
song service at the Presbyterian
church and at once proved himself
to be singer of exceptional ability
as we'll as a man of charming per-
sonaity. The service was we'll at
tended by local singers. whose work,
under the direction(of Mr. Jelks, was
much enjoyed by good congrega-
tiop.
DR. Thacker, who is one of the
foremost ministers Of the South and
evangelist for the General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian church,
is one of the most prowerful expon-
ents of gospel truths that it has ever
been our pleasure to hear. He has
a brilliant mentality, is comparative
ly-young and possessed with 3 mag
netic personality that is almost sure
to captivate and charm those who
come in contact with him in this
new field. He held his first service
at 8 o'clock last evening and those
present are highly pleased over the
prospect of a delightful series of
meetings during the next two weeks.
DR. Thacker's methods in conduct
ing a revival service are different
from those of any other evangelist
we have heard. yet his sermons are
simple, powerful truths and every
one in the county who can should
hear this distinguished divine while
he is in Kingstree.
During the meeting two services
will be held daily, at 1920 a. m.
and 500 p. m. except Sunday
when the morning service will be at
IL o'clock.
Both DR. Thacker and Mr. Jelks
have already felt the charm OF old
Kingstree and are pleased to be here.
We predict that they will regret to
leave after they have gotten better
acquainted with our town and its
citizenship.

Would Cause . Riot.

If the newspaper would some day
print the contents of its waste basket
there would certainly be a riot.
There would certainly be trouble in
many homes, arrests in many dlrec.
tions, shotguns in another, trouble
all around. But the patron never
sees the waste basket. he only glances
at the beautifully printed page, and
complains if one letter is, upside
down, growls if one name happens
to be wrong, kicks because his COM
munication signed Taxpayer" has
been condensed into respectable Eng.
lish. .frowns because the editor did not
take his advice about publicly telling
their neighbors about their short.
comings, and is generally disgruntled.
He knows his share of the waste
basket but if he could look at the
contributions to that receptacle he
would be thankful for the existence
of a man with intelligence and cour-
age enough not to print all he knows,
and to temper that which he does
print.

is necessary that another army be
formed to look after internal econom-

cial and financial conditions of the
State, and putting them on such ba-

Concerning Seed Distribution.

Editor County Record
Through the columns of your val
liable paper would like to ask Mr. c
w Baker. farm demonstrator for
Williamsburg county. few ques-
tions as to how the free seed which
the government sent out were dis
tributed., How were the ones who
received seed selected? Was it the
intention of the government to give
them to the poorest farmers or to
the we'll to do ones?
know Of two men near Greely-
vile with plantations worth six or
seven thousand dollars who received
the allotted amount of each kind of
seed, while right in the same neigh
borhood there was a poor widow
on rented land, with several daugh.
ters to support, who did not get a
seed. Again there is a man in
Greelyville drawing a salary of one
hundred dollars ($100,00) per month
from the government, who received
seed and his farm will not exceed
three acres of land. Now this seems
to be the case pretty generally
around through the county. And,
as the people are talking a whole
lot about the discrimination that
seems to have been shown in the dis.
tribution of the seed, l for one
would like to place the blame where
it belongs and not blame Mr. Baker
or anyone else unjustly. So in jus.
tice to himself l think it would be
good idea for Mr. Baker to explain
the plan of distribution of the seed
in full through the columns Of The
Record. RIM THOMPSON.

Reform In Germany.

NelOr1ll Ill SST1lloli1'
Tne current issue of The Youths
Companion contains the following
editorial which seems to give ex-
preston to what is pretty generally
believed oy the American press to
be the political situation in Germany:
What the German government
really thinks of the Russian revolu-
ton and of the entry of the United
States into the war may be gathered
from the behavior of the Imperial
Chancellor. So long as German
arms we're successful and Germans
might still hope for final victory.
any Socialist who suggested that
political reform within the empire
was advisable was curtly told that
no discussion of such subjects would
be permitted until after peace had
been declared.
when the news from Petrograd
reached Berlin. DR. Bethmann Holl-
veg hurried into the Pfussian Legis-
lature and promised that the gov
ernment would put many of the de-
sired reforms into effect just as soon
the fighting was over. When that
promise failed to quiet the demand
for immediate changes in Prussia,
the Chancellor announced-the time
was a day or two after the United
States had entered the war-that
the Emperor himself had promised
far-reaching reforms in Prussia, in
cluding direct and secret ballot in
place of the peculiar class represent
alton that now prevails there.
"Our knowledge of the exact situ-
alton in Germany is so imperfect that
we cannot tell whether for the pres
ent those promises will satisfy the
Socialists and Radicals. 1t is clear
that the war has immeasurably in
creased the strength of the Social
Democrats. and that it hiss shaken
the faith of the people at large in
the wisdom of its princes and the
validity of their military and polit.
ical philosophy. A few years ago
>the Kaiser declared proudly that
there was only one will in Germay,-
his own.-and that the will of the
King is the supreme law Nothing
except a very deep. powerful move
ment among his people toward dem.
ocracy could have induced him to
make the concessions he has already
made; for those concessions are each
a step along the road that every
Prussian statesman from Bismarck
down has asserted would lead to the
fall of the dynasty and the failure
ofPrussian ambitions. Count Revent-
low, the spokesmen of the true Prus-
sian party, which is in turn the
strength of the imperial organiza-
ton. openly speaks of the danger of
introducing the spirit of liberty.
which our enemies rightly regard as
equivalent to the destruction of
Germany as a power
"Of course he means the destruc-
ton Of Germany as an imperialistic.
militaristic, autocratic power. Moth
ing can prevent Germany from re-
manning a great power, unless it be
the failure of its people to bring
their government into some sort of
agreement with the political and
moral currents of the age. Even
the Kaiser, who entered the war
with far different hopes, begins to
see that. But what becomes OF him
and his house and of the nation ne
still leads depends, after all, less on
him than on the people themselves.
They will shape the future of Ger

THE ENACTMENT of a Work
mems Compensation Law will oper-
ate a new alignment in the system OF
employing labor. which has existed
for more than a hundred years in
Delaware. Under the new law, which
is somewhat complicated as to its ap-
plication. employers of labor assume
responsibilities for those which they
employ, which can be carried by but
a limited number of employers in Del
aware outside the City of Whining
ton. The only safeguard is through
insurance, and the small beginner in
the employment Of labor must find
the means to pay the insurance nee
essary on those whom he employs,
or risk wiping out the business should
an accident happen to make him liza
bic under the law.
