saddened by regrets.
If Americans are even approx
mately true to their ideals they will
not permit the loyal to suffer for the
acts of the disloyal. To do so would
be to defeat the very aims in view in
the struggle before us.
We are now impelled by one con-
Stunning desire, the freedom of hu-
mainly in its broadcast sense, and the
greatest freedom to which we can
attain is freedom of heart from
rancor and bitterness.
No great cause was ever won with
out martyrdom. Some must suffer
greatly, all must suffer some. 1. is
natures way in which she works out
human redemption. But If bitter
ness and hatred is permitted to creep
into the martyrdom and suffering,
their uplifting and purifying influ-
ence is nullitied.
Let us pray to be delivered from
all bitterness, that when the contest
is ended even our foes may be
brought to the light as we see it.

his burden is hard enough without
the added knowledge or suspicion
that he is viewed with antagonism
and distrust.
There are some who are unques-
tionably traitors to the land of their
adoption, but they will soon come
to their just end. Time will efface
them. But their acts should not
prejudice in our minds those who
are staunchly supporting the govern
ment, even though it be with hearts

DELIVER US FROM HATRED

There is one vital point upon
which we as citizens must guard our
selves in the great struggle before us
and that is that there grow not up in
our hearts a spirit of hatred toward
those in our midst with foreign
blood in their veins.
We have said that we are not to
prosecute a war of revenge, but a
contest for right and justice. This
sentiment comes easy enough at this

time. The danger will come later,
when the reaal shock of war is felt
and grim death fans us with his sable
wings as he takes a son from this
home and husband from that one.
Americans cannot afford to harbor
hatred, and especially can they not
afford animosity towards our citi-
zens of foreign descent. If the citi-
zen of Teutonic blood is loyal to our
country, though he grieve for the
necessity of war with his fatherland,

Putting a Bit of Poetry into very,
PrOSiac Task.

A ride along the interurban cars on
a fine Monday will show you line
after line of snowy clothes f1utter1ng
in the breeze, and if you are woman,
who has never tried her hand at the
washing game you'll envy the woman
who has the bright afternoon before
her to do as she pleases since she
has spent her morning so proftably.
Did you ever pin freshly washed
clothes on line out in the sunshine
and breeze-clothes that you washed
with your own hands?
You haven't? Well, you needn't say
it with such a scornful tilt to your
nose You're to be pitied more than
envied, for you've missed one of the
joys of being a woman.
Maybe the real work Of it, the
scrubbing and boiling and rinsing
part, couldn't be called real joy, but
hanging the pieces up, clean and
sweet and white, then standing back
to view proudly the whole long row
ah, then you taste the glory of real
achievement, and it gives a satisfac-
ton that few achievements give.
It's such worthy work, making
the world a cleaner, more wholesome
place, by beginning on your own soil
ed raiment.-Indianap News.

WHO is YOUR NEIGHBOR?

The terrific storm of hail and rain
that swept over our county on We'd
nesday last caused a loss so great
and wide spreading that it is difficult
for us to comprehend it. over a
wide territory hundreds of our farm
ers have had their land swept clean
of every growing thing. They are
bravely facing the situation and max
ing plans to replant what is poss-
ible at this late season. There are
many however that because of lack
of teams and men will be unable to
plant much acreage. Teams and men
will be greatly needed. Here is an
opportunity for the generous spirit
of the citizens who escaped loss to
show itself. If you have a team you
can possibly spare for few days or
a week offer it,
AT meeting of the business men
of Westminster it was decided to get
a list of all teams possible and a
list of those that need them and
work together for the good of all.
Committee headquarters are at the
B. F. Shriver Co.'S. office where al
offers should be sent.

LOAN BONDS SAFE AND
PATRIOTIC INVESTMENT.

The Liberty Loan Bonds furnish the
opDortunity for absolutely safe in
vestment of the savings of the country
and | believe the opportunity will be
eagerly seized upon by those who de-
sire secure investments with the pos
sibility of appreciation of values as
we'll as by those persons who wish 10
demonstrate patriotic feeling in the
investment of their money in the Sc
curities o. their Government which
calls upon them at a time when Tor
| tunately there is a vast sum looking
| for investment The small denomlna-
ton of some of the bonds puts the
opportunity within the reach of prac-
tically every American citizen.
Every personal friend | have who
has money to invest, where otherwise
he might take something OF a SEMI
speculative character has told me that
at least part of his investments would
be in these bonds. Men Of this charac-
ter who are accustomed to compare
lively large returns on their money
sreak to me Of their investments In
these bonds in the same way they re-
fer to their sons going into the Army
and the Navy In some instances these
boys themselves, who have accumula-
ted small savings, not only have de-
termined to enlist for the war but to
invest their savings in the Liberty
Loan Bonds which will enable the
United States to successfully prose-
cute the war.
| can conceive of no security which
is better calculated to answer the pur-
pose of investment as we'll as to show
desire to further our national welfare
than the Liberty Loan Bonds. The idea
that these bonds may in the future be
used to adjust international credits IS
one which greatly appeals to me. In
a sense they are an international is
sue as they are largely secured by the
guaranty of the great Democracles OF
the world. and are issued for COM
mon object.
NY belief is that these Liberty Loan
Bonds ultimately will go above par
and be eagerly sought for by those
having trust funds and money held in
a fiduciary capacity where fair in
come and absolute security - desired.

as far as possible and L think the same
feeling is common to all the people of
our country who cannot themselves

which we are determined shall cOntin-

We had the war brought home to us
in the casualty list Of dead and wound
cd Americans, by German soldiers. The
Germans are our enemies. 1t would
be we'll to vie wa little their side. They
are a shrcwd people and their soldiers
are man-made machines We cannot
say that they are not brave people
though they fight by strategy and all
dishonorablc means. Intellect domi-
mates. We see this in the white mans
rule here. We do not say that the
Germans are the more intelligent but
we do say that experienced, level head

The end of this is not in sight. What

far away until our countrymcn had
shed their blood over there.
We, the women of America don't

CROSS HILL NEWS.


Cross Hill, Nov. 12.-The campaign
to raise the allotted fund for Y. M. g.
A. work among the soldiers was be-
gun here Sunday morning A meeting
was held for that purpose at the Bap-
tist church at IL o'clock, presided ov-
er by r. A. Austin, township chairman.
Splendid addresses in which the Y.
NJ. c. a. work was explained and
strong appeals were made for help
were delivered by Mr.. A. c. Todd and
Hon. Y. A. Cooper of Laurens. Other
talks were made by few others
present Over $4,000 was subscrib-
ed on the spot and committees were
appointed to continue the campaign
work during the week.
A very good congregation greeted
the speakers and every one seemed at
tentive and interetsd. The impression
left upon the minds Of at least some
of the audience by the meeting is that
the Y. NJ. G. A. work among the sol
diers is the best substitute for home
life yet undertaken in behalf of the
boys who have left their home environ
ments. 1t is expected that Cross Hill,
as we'll as Laurens. county, will do her
full share in this excellent work.
Sunday afternoon at o'clock, Rev.
J. Fletcher Anderson Of WILLIAMSON,
preached at the Methodist church. His
theme was that the blood Of Christ is
necessary and sufficient for salvation,
| explaining that without this, sin will
| ever be a corrupting influence in
mans life.
After delivering an address Sun
| day morning on the y. NJ. {. \. work,
| Hon 12. A. Cooper boarded Scaboard
train for Aberdeen, Miss, to the home
of his cousin, Mr. jeff Cooper, from
| which place he will go on TO Brooks
Vile Thursday where he is TO be mar
| ricd to Miss Dorcas Gaines. He is ac-
] companicd on this trip by Mr.. }. >.
Machcn and will be gone until some
| time next week.
Rev. G.. T.. Smith of Cross Anchor
preached at the Baptist church here
last Thursday evening. He was in
vited here by the pulpit committees or
three churches to view the field with
the prospective intention Of bccOm-
ing pastor OF Cross Hill, Waterloo and
Mountville churches.
The members Of the missionary so
J cicty of the Baptist church are maxi
ing preparation for the missionary

here next Saturday. a good program
has been published and the ladies are
expecting a pleasant and profitable
meeting.
