are Joining in a conspiracy with aliens
against the welfare Of our country,
as being a malicious slander against
the good name and past history of
our people.
NAnd whereas, on account of the in
human and barbarous warfare of the
Imperial German government against
neutrals as well as the countries with
whom it is war, thus forcing the
United States into the conflict for the
purpose of protecting the lives Of its
citizens and property on the seas,
also to maintain its respect before
the nations of the world.
Be it resolved, That, we the negro
citizens of Clarendon County, in the
State Of South Carolina, do hereby
declare our loyalt to the stars. and
stripes and our firm allegiance to
the government of the United States
and our unfaultering loyalty to it's
cause.
Resolved, That, just as our race
gave it's life blood in former con-
nlcts, just as we were loyal in pro-
tecting the property and even the
lives Of Southern white people dur
ing the conflict of the COS and just
as we fought, bled and died for the
flag on San Juan Hill, and at Carri-
zal, we stand ready now to urge
every member of the race to coope-
rate in the preparedness movement
both military and civic.
Resolved further, That, we memo
ralize the president of the U. S., Sec.
of War, Sec. of Navy and the gov
ernor of the State Of our actions and

BACKING UP PROOF
The Kind That Manning People Can
not Deny.

Many an earnest Manning man or
woman has publicly endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after
month you've read their statements.
Would these Manning people recon-
mend any medicine if it were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat their
statements after years had passed?
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
better evidence.
The following Manning woman's
statement leaves no room for doubt.
1t must convince every kidney suf-
fercr who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by what Mrs. r. l..
Logan says: "For long time,

Over three years later, Mrs. Logan
said: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they have done me a world
of good. l keep them on hand and

ed in the newspaper reports, they can
easily be inferred. Il 10 hardly likely
that they will carry any weight with

that Il does not meet their war aims.
Il was indicated that . peace pro-

iiberstely and that an answer convinc-

Pals on Unrscsptivs Ears.
Diplomatic practice prevents author
ifed expressions OF opinion for publ
cation. but II was apparent at once that
the peace proposal falls on unreceptve
ears, 20 far as the diplomats here are
concerned.
The entente representatives declared
the proposal originated with Germany,
using Austria as an intermediary with
the Vatican because OF the better stand
Ing Of that great Catholic empire with
The pope.
There was no disposition TO ascribe
any but the lof,est motives to Pope
Benedict in accepting at their face
value peace proposals emanating from
Vienna, but naturally the queation was
at once raised as to the proper division
OF responsibility between the central
powers and the pope. II was pointed
out that it 10 important TO know whether
the proposals came full-fledgcd from
Vienna or Berlin or whether the pope
himself framed them in the light Of
an understanding he may have acquired
