Fannie Ward Last Time at the
 Empress
 Rupert Sargent Hollands book, The Heart of Sally Temple is the story from which "The Winning of Sally Temple" in which Fannie Ward win be seen for the last time today at the Empress, was taken. The story has been rigidly adhered to and all of the charm of the original book carefully preserved Miss Ward is seen as the famous Sally Temple, a favortte of the London theaters during the period of TITO. She lives in the poor tenement districts and finds much enjoyment in helping the less fortunate people of the community. In due course of events, it happens that a lady of the nobility has been married before she has be- come of age. Her guardian having made it known that he would visit her, the lady is fearful that when he learns of the marriage, he will seize her prop erty and fortune. It so happens that the guardian has never seen her, so she engages Sally Temple to impersonate her during the visit On the arrival of the guardian, he falls in love with the pseudo ward, and persists in his love making, even after Sally Temple has disclosed her identity. Resorting to vi- olence, he attempts to drag her from street bus which she is endeavoring to enter A pugilist offers her protec- tion and succeeds in forestalling the guardian. Realizing that she must be won by less stern methods, he disguises himself and seeks employment in the neighborhoOd of her home. The owner of the tenements visiting the city is attracted by the lovely Sally Temple and kidnaps her. Joining forces with the pugilist. the guardian rescues her and succeeds not only in winning her hand. but in forcing the miserly land lord to promise to better the conditions of her beloved poor people. The Amer ican War Weekly with it's views from all over the country incident to what America is doing in the great war, is also being shown and forms a most instructive as well as entertaining ad- dition

The BEST TEST
Is the Test of Time.

Years ago this Americas resident
told of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now A. G. Alexander,
grocer, of 712 Spring ST., confirms the
former statement-says there has
been no return of the trouble. Can
Americas people ask for more con-
vircing testimony?
Mr.. Alexander says: My back
caused me much suffering and l was
hardly able to perform my duties on
account of the pains. The action OF
my kidneys was very irregular and
too frequent. causing me to get up a
number of times at night. Doan's
Kidney Pills soon relieved me of tho
pain in my back and the action of my
kidneys became regular. The pains
left and l have never felt them since"
Statement given March IS, 1910.

A CALL FOR HELP.

On another page of this issue, the
Times-Reocrder publishes an appeal to
the white citizens of Sumter county
from the Americas Institute, an educa
tional institution which has for its
object the vocational training of negro
children
Within a few weeks the school will
celebrate it's goth anniversary and a
special effort is being made to raise a
fun of $4,000 to be used in liquidating
certain items of indebtedness and in
purchasing a farm which will be used
a. one of the principal facilities in the
educational system
While most of the residents of this
section are aware of the existence of
the Americas Institute, comparative
ly few realize the extent of its opera
lions and the practical value of the
work it has been doing for the bet
terment of conditions among ne
groes. For twenty years the school
has been affording to negro students
which fit them for better
service in their sphere of activity. No
is made by the institution to
develop spirit of antagonism or pre-
JUDGE in the minds of it's students, but
on the contrary, every effort is made to
promote good feeling between the
races.
During the 20 years since the es-
of the Americas Institute,
the police records of the city of Amer
icus show that none of its students
have figured in disturbances where the
exercise of police authority was nee
essary. The underlying idea at the
school is to raise the standard of liv-
ing among negroes, but at the same
time to avoid all friction with the
white population.
Students at the institution are
taught sewing, cooking. housekeeping
in general, manual training and agri,
culture, while the fundamentals of
book learning" are inculcated as we'll.
The negroes graduated from the school
go out among their people and act as
a leayening influence, so that the ac-
tual results are to make the negro bet
ter able to perform his share of the
tasks of every day life.
The Americas Institute is not self
sustaining and were it not for dona-
ti0ns received from various educational
funds, it would be impossible for it to
continue, so that the effort to secure
birthday fund of $4,000 is of utmost
importance to the institution
The school has many friends among
the white residents of this section and
the appeal for financial assistance at
this time will not fall on deaf ears.

arful crimes committed in behalf OF
Prussian militarism, and Germany,
like all others guilty of unprecedented
sin, shall yet learn that its sins shall
fEd it out and it shall yet pay the
fearful penalty Of the unspeakable
crimes which have stained its course
beyond the combined crimes of all
other countries of all other ages.
On August 6, 1914, at the very be-
ginnin2 of this war, the Nlanufactur
ers Record said
Humanity may be staggered by
the horrors of Europe's war, but civ
ilization will not be destroyed. Mil
lions of men and billions of treasure
may be lost in this devilish work;
thrones may totter and new maps of
Europe may be necessary before the
end is reached; but mankind will, on
the wreck of these ruins, build bet
ter civilization-one in which the peo-
pie, and not a few INSCRIPTIONS men
who feel that they have been Divinely
appointed, will rule"
Despite all of its power for evil
which Germany has been able to mus
ter, we have an abiding faith in the
overruling providence of Almighty
God that Germany shall be conquered
and made to pay, as far as it is pos
sible for human beings in this world
to atone for sin, for all the fearful
crimes and all the misery, all the
death and all the sorrows and all the
Rooney loss of the last three years.
Civilization would indeed be a failure

EkORNIE0EF's TASA

Korniloff, now commander of Rus
sia's armies, comes to supreme au-
thority in the field in the darkest hour
his land has known The Russian
army is spy-infested and mutinous. de-
moralized by retreat and by the in
subordination due to an unaccustom
ed sense of liberty. The nation, which
should support the army, is torn by
factions, disorganized politically, men
laced continually by the conspiracies
and the propaganda of the pro-Ger-
mans and of those who mistake liberty
for license.
Everywhere the Russians are fall
ing back. They have surrendered the
Uskul bridgehead which guarded
Riga, they have been beaten in the
Pripet morshes, have abandoned the
Galician territory which Korniloff's
troops had just won They are aband-
oning the Bukowina, have lost Czern
owitz and Kimpalung, where the re-
public's forces had long maintained a
foothold in the Carpathians, and their
retirement there spells disaster to the
Roumanians, who, with futile yalor,
had extended their lines by a recent
offensive designed to lessen pressure
en- their Russian allies.
The Allies can only hope that
Korniloff will prove a fitting agent in
the work Of rehabilitating Russia s
armies. He is a Siberian Cossack, a
calvary commander OF marked ability
and he has the knack of making men
follow him. His record in the three
years of the war has been distingu
ished one, including, as it does, the
leading Of number of dashing cav
airy raids, an escape from the Aus
trian prison and the breaking of the
Austro-German line of Stanislas less
than a month ago. Now comes his
| reward, and his great test.
Nicholas Nicolayitch and Brussiloft
were great generals, and Korinloff
cen hardly be expected to show more
of military genius than did they. If
: he can win the loyalty of the men he
commands, if he can make them fight
= for Russia he will accomplish much
, and will justify his appointment in the
eyes of Russia's friends.

had so thoroughly penetrated the
whole body of German life as to have
made it rotten to the core.
Outwardly Germany was fair to look
upon, and until the fearful day when
Kaiser Wilhelm and his followers un-
loosed the spirit of Evil upon the
world, Germany ranked among the
greatest and most honored nations on
earth
Today, Germany is not merely hated,
it is re arded with the most supreme
contempt and loathing by every right
thinking man on earth.
Germany the once rich ana pro-
gressive country, is today staggering
beneath of lead of Indebtedness which
bids fair to wreck and ruin the Gov
eminent and the people of that land
and of Austria as well.
From a country of civilization, Ger
many has become a country OF bar
barism.
From land of prosperity, it has
become a land of almost endless
poverty, where woe and want and
gaunt hunger are everywhere in evil
dence.
Millions of its ablest men are dead.
Every family throughout its borders
has suffered the agony of the three
years of it's hell-born, unjustifable
war.
The very flower of its life, the men
whose abilities would have carried
Germany to still greater world pre-
ominence in commerce and industry,
have, with their bodies, fattened the
fields of Belgium and France and
ether countries
1t was left to Germany to lead the
world in murder on the high seas, in
the outraging OF women and in the
murder CT women and children with
its hell-born work of dropping de-
structive bombs on unfortifed cities
from the air.
1t was left to Germany to write on
submarine crime unspeakable in its
atrocity against the world
1t was left to Germany to write on
the pa2es of history the blacklist stains
that ever marked the history of man
kind.
Hundreds of millions of people in
the allied countries, as in neutral
countries, will, for generations to
come, look upon the crimes commit
ted by German soldiers with loath
ing which no human words can eX-
press.
From it's high estate of esteem AMI
prosperity three years ago Germany
has fallen to the lowest depth of hui
man degradation. And for what? In
order that Kaiser Wilhelm and the mil
itary spirit OF evil which surrounds
him might destroy democracy and on
IFS grave build a world domination OF
autocracy.
In all the experience Of mankind
there is nothing with which to com
pare the record Of Germany's descent
from civilization into barbarism, from
prosperity into woe and want, from
the Astounding healthfulness Of its
people into the awful toll of death and
suffering and sadness which, like
all Of darkness, spreads over the
lend; from its high place in the
worlds esteem to the loathing with
which it is now regarded by the
world
