And Who Is My Neighbor?

This question was answered by our
Lord, i'll the story of the Good Sa-
maritan, and while the world is at
war, suffering and devastation in ey-
! cry land, and in our own loved coun-
| try, We are beginning to feel the
| pinch of hard times; soon Well feel
| the grip of harder times. While the
| clouds of want and suffering loom
| before our vision. the question comes
| to us, and who is my neighbor? The
| answer comes, it is the man Or Wo-
| man or family, who is hungry, with
no food, who is Shivering from cold,
| with no fuel, whose bodies are feel
| ing the biting cold winds with scant
| clothing; this is no fancied picture,
| but a condition which will confront
us during the coming winter Shall
we be the SamaritanS of help, or
will we pass by, little concerned in
suffering humanity, to receive the
condemnation Of our Blessed Master,
| "Inasmuch as ya did it not to one of
the least of these, We did it not to
me?'
Your opportunity is at hand, the
call is made, what will be your an
swer?
AS ASSOSIdltu SudllllcS VI Sdl1l-
bridge, under the influence and
management of the ministers of our
city, is a worthy and commendable
association, worthy of our confidence
and assistance to relieve the de-
mands of the hour. Let US prove
our confidence in them, and our
sympathy in suffering humanity, by
literally subscribing and giving to
this most worthy cause.
With a population of 1000, with
wood and food costing three times as
much as it did a few years ago, there
must necessarily be much suffering.
1 would suggest that this associa-
tion, through its recently appointed
committee of ladies. solicit a fund
as follows: 81 per year as annual
dues, and 81 or less per month, for
the months of december, January,
February, and March. Let us mea-
sure up to our full duty as citizens.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh which
is an infiamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood On the mu-
cous surfaces of thet system
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

At aohat cost?
God alone can tell
Military experts are saying that the Ger
man lines cannot be forced, from the front.
French and British assaults and failures
bear out this opinion.
But what have ne got to do with that?
Is it any more our affair, than it was in
1914, when the Germans came so near to cap
turing Paris?
The Government of France fed from Paris,
just as the Belgian king fled from Brussels.
We did not interfere then.
The French government is now back in
Paris, safe and strong: the English have had
ample time to draw upon all the resources
of the vast Empire: Russia can have peace any
time she will accept it, separately.
What, then, is the real reason for our en-
tering the land war, after it has gone into it's
4th year, when there has not been any attack
whatever upon our land rights!

FACTS ABOUT THE GREAT WAR
Do They Mean Anything TO You?
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE.)

didn't have them then-and got his swift dis
missal by telegraph.
My friend, Otto Cowart, the former POST
master at Daisy, Georgia, had to live to see
Woodrow Wilson inaugurated for second
term, before he could realize that a post
master is not free to have any opinions OF
his own, and is not free to read newspaper
that criticises the Government.
In those Reconstruction days, no q. S.
deputies broke up peaceable assemblage Of
the people, as those deputies did recently, at
Centre, Alabama.
I attended some of those meetings, myself,
and the mental picture of Howell Cobb,
"Ranse" Wright, and Preacher Caldwell is
fresh in my memory.
At Harlem, Ga, Howell Cobb delivered
one of his grandest speeches, arraigning and
denouncing the arbitrary and unconstitu-
tional conduct of the Federal Government.
The very platform of Seymour and Blair
(1868) was a more violent excoriation of the
Washington administration, than anything J.
have written.
In those Reconstruction days, General
John B. Gordon and James Milton Smith
made the hustings vibrate with passion, as
they Numbered against personal rule and
military methods.
In those days, Robert Toombs, recently
returned from his European flight, went
from city to city, lecturing on Magma Charta;
and, with torrents of lava-like eloquence, he
demanded that Constitutional liberty be re-
stored to the PROSTATE Southern States
In those days, BENZ. H. Hill made his
most famous speeches-in Davis Hall and at
the Bush Arbor meeting; and his "Notes on
the Situation" went, peal after peal, throughe
out the land, calling like clarion notes for
the oppressed people to rouse themselves
against Federal usurpation and tyranny.
Nothing that / have said or written can
come anywhere near the terrific power and
violence Of the TRADES of Cobb, Of Toombs,
of Ben Hill.
Did anybody attempt to dispense their
meetings? No
Did anybody threaten the newspapers
whcih published those fiery Notes." and still
more fiery speeches. No.
Black Republicanism was in the saddle at
Washington, with such commanders-in-ch
as Thad Stevens, Ben Wade, Zach Chandler,
Charles Sumner, Roscoe Conkling, and James
G. Blaine; but the very Radicals who shack
led Jeff Davis, and hanged Mrs. Surratt, and
sent bayonets to the Southern polling booths,
never dared to abridge the freedom Of assem-
blage, of speech, and of press.
This growing feat of glorifed democracy,
was reserved to Woodrow Wilson
That which Ben Butler never limited at,
which Thad Stevens never suggested, which
Charles Sumner never contemplated which
Edwin M. Stanton never considered and An
drew Johnson never thought of, is now rushed
upon us, by men who wear and desecrate the
name Of Thomas Jefferson, and who have the
brazen effrontery to ask us to believe, that
all Of this destruction of democracy in the
United States, Is the necessary Preparedness

1t never would have molested u.s. for the
simple reason that it could not.
When man talks about the Germans cross
INC the Atlantic Ocean with armies, to crush
us and devastate our country, he's as crazy as
those Washington maniacs, who talk of send
ING American armies to crush Germany.
All such talk is babble: ten-year-old boys
ought to know better
The War did not come!
We ac6nt TO it
How any sane person can dispute SO patent
fact, is beyond my comprehension.
We pick up a million Of our raw young
men, take them out Of their own climate,
plunge them into deficient mode of life,
and order them to capture the strongest for
tifcatons that military art ever prepared
German eapcrts huce had Ho'ee gears to pre-
puye these Entertainments, achioh England and
France c0nUOt capture.
The maniacs at Washington propose TO
send millions Of your boys TO t0he those
trenches.
Now let's be sensible
If Germany wanted to fight us, on land,
could we play into her hands more stupidity,
than by sending our soldiers against the III
trenchments rhich she had three gears to. per-
fret?
Just Use your common sense
Those trenches seem to be lmpregnable.
England and France have been trying IN
vain, all Summer. to take them.
Men have been slaughtered, till the brain
reels and the soul sickens, to read about it,
Germans capture a trench, today: the
French retake it, tomorrow: the English drive
the Germans out, today; and the Germans
drive the English out, tomorrow.
SO it goes, and the awful havoc in the lives
Of the inferior officers and the private soldiers,
never ceases for single hour.
Nothing 50 frightful was ever known in the
history Of the world.
And into that horrible vortex, your boys
are doomed to go
Why?
No cause for it was seen by ''your great
President" on Feb Goth: what happened
afterwards!
The war-whoopers pretend to believe that
Germany would next cross the ocean to attack
us.
Well let's reason about that.
Where would she have the territory to work
on. far three gears, turning open fields into
imprcgnabe trenches?
What would our feet be doing, while Ger
man DoaIS were bringing IlGt 'IooP0 aoio00'
Where are the German ships, for the trans
port Of million Germans?
Would our American manhood be idle,
while German troops were landing?
Could an invasion Of America be planned
organized. and carried out, 'in 8ecYet?"
Wouldn't we have the amplest time to meet
the Germans at the sea-shore, and fight them
