The object Of this war is to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace and. the actual power
OF a vast military establishment controlled by an ire
sponslole government, which, having secretly planned to
dominate the world, proceeded to carry out without re-
gard either to the sacred obligations of treaty or the long
established practices and long cherished principles of in
ternatlonal action and honor; which chose its own time
for the war; delivered its blow fercely and suddenly:
stopped at no barrier, either of law or of mercy; swept
a whole continent within the tide of blood-not the
blood Of soldiers only. but the blood of innocent women
and children also and of the helpless poor; and now
stands baked, but not defeated, the enemy Of four-hfths
OF the worid:-President Wilson'S Letter to Pope.

THE SOLDIER AND RELIGION

1t is inevitable that when men are engaged in az
uvitles which stir the soul as deeply as does war the re-
hs1ous Ire OF lndlylduals and peoples should be profound
~ airected. The soldier may sing a rollicking song as he
Marches but there are times, III the silent watches of the

the trench, In the supreme moment of conflict, amid the
roar or cannon and with life being snuffed out in an in
slant on every hand, that must prompt men, when time
Is aI1oroed Tor thought, to examine those things which
oeiong to the inner life. And when great peoples are
senolng their manhood to the front, and when the entire
"e o the nome and the office and the farm and the in
dustr1al plant is changed so as to conform to the needs
OF a business which involves the slaughter of men, nations
have their point of view changed, and things are seen in
different proportions.
There is general agreement that religion occupies a
large place in the thoughts of the men at the front. And
II Is apparent from evidences of the most unmistakable
character that a SIMILAR change has been in progress In
the countries which have been long at war, notably in
England and France.
1t does not follow that all the soldiers are straight
away about to join the church. Nor does it follow that
there will be an immediate increase on a large scale in
cnurch membership at home. 1t appears that there is in
progress a great change within as well as without the
cnurcn' and that churchmen as we'll as those on the out
SIDE are examining and comparing, to determine 1ust
what, after all, is truth. 70
This war is likely to result, not only in a stirring. of
the spirit of men without the church, but in a re-spiritu-
Aviation of the church itself, in a clearer idea both with
IN ana without as to what are the essentials, and a closer
approach to those essentials. We may expect to see
emerge a church more perfectly dedicated to the ideals of
service, and a new estimate placed on the church as a
religious agency by multitudes who have been utterly out
Of touch with it.

FROZEN POTATOES

ptus A Chicago news dispatch tells of the dumping of
several carloads of potatoes and other vegetables which
.nnuaad stood on the tracks in the Chicago yards for several
and had been damaged by frost. The man who
SssuuSsSave the information to the press was indignant at what
Thne considered an inexcusable waste, and he intimated
Jelschat this destruction was permitted in order that inter-
9 =, assted persons might maintain prices at a high level.
OF Presumably the case is being Investigated by some
person in authority. 1t is to be hoped that when the
Investigation is complete the true facts will be made
rrknown. If valuable food is permitted to be destroyed
ann order to stifen prices and add to the profits of anyone
v athat should be made known in order that the identity
~. of the criminal or criminals may be revealed, and suit
liestable Punishment should be meted out by the proper
ancourt.
and On the bare statement made in the papers, however,
-eSnoth1ng is proven. And on the slight showing made it
IS not safe to form conclusions. The fact stated is that
" cause they had been damaged by frost. Why they were
-iamaged is not known; nor is the extent of the damage
q N<nown. The informant said that the potatoes, even in
&he condition in which he saw them. were good for some
Thing, and should not have been dumped. 1t is a fact
frozen potatoes can be used for food. It u also a
act that they are not very palatable, and people will not
Usually eat them if sound potatoes can be obtained. 1t
s also a fact that potatoes should be shipped in sucn a
\ manner that they will not freeze. But we know that
<ney are not always so shipped. Shipments in the early
0sss.1art of the season are not made in refrigerator cars, for
EH#A here is little risk of frost. This year a hard freeze o-
#W cured quite early in the shipping season, and shipments

There are SO many factors entering into the handling
MIa3,f perishable goods of this kind that it will not do to
nete out condemnation promiscuously when losses of
his kind occur. 1t may be that better ways of sorting
nay be devised, but there is always to be considered the
fot of labor, and this often makes it cheaper to destroy
U han to attempt to save.

zette says:

A Tiff county farmer will get u
bales of cotton from a two-horse
farm this year, despite the boil
weevil. Don't understand from
this that it's easy to raise cotton
under boil weevil conditions as it
was before the coming of the pest.
1t required much harder work and
intelligent, persistent work. This
mand made 20-cent cotton, because
he followed instructions of those
experienced in fighting the weevil.
He began picking them off as soon
as they came, and he kept right at
it. Now, he is going to pillow UNI
der his stalks before frost and
thus begin the fight against the
weevil for next year
Sumter county farmers, black as well
as white, are entirely too progressive
to further ignore the very serious men,
ace which stares them in the face, so
long as the boil weevil is permitted to
pursue the peaceful tenor of its way.
To the credit of the negroes, it may be
truthfully stated that they have exer-
cised greater industry in attempting
to overcome the weevil than have the
majority of the white planters This
may be that the negro with his limited
acreage, is compelled to fight to keep
his head above water, but whatever the
reason it is true, nevertheless.
Sumter county should organize a
great winter and spring offensive
against the b1ll weevil. Start now and,
as Grant said around Richmond: Lets
fight it out along this line, if it takes
all winter!'

A FIGHT WE MUST MAKE.

The boil weevil is in Sumter county
1t is all over the county, and it is doing
thousands of dollars of damage to the
cotton crop, curtailing it by destroying
the top crop
Many farmers, under the direction of
demonstration agents and through the
employment of various means of elm
nation, are seeking to overcome the
ravages of this pest, Many others,
however are utterly neglectful of the
injury which the weevil is inficting
upon them They are apparently In
different to the fact that unless the
weeyil is checked, somehow or other
t will make even worse conditions
A DS'igherty county farmer has dem
oastrated that the weevil can be sue
'essfully fought, to the extent Of max.
ng a bale to the acre. And rift
ounty planter now proves that on 4

Veevil conditions, twelve bales can /
