A Peoples War

The great fact that stands cut above all the rest is that this is Peoples war for freedom and justice and self govern ment amongst all the nations of the world, war to make the world safe for the peoples who live upon it and have it their own, the German people themselves included; and that with us rests the choice to break through all these hypocrisies and patent cheats and masks of brute force aud help set the world free, or else stand and let it dominated a long age through by sheer weight of arms and the arbitrary choices of self-constituted masters, by the na- ton which can maintain the biggest armies and the most irresistible arma- ments-a power to which the world has afforded no parallel and in the face of which political freedom must wither
 and perish "- Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
 dent of the United States.

He was cutting sprouts and struck a flint rock which flew up and struck him in the eye, which caused only slight pain at the time and he worked on, and came in to the good road meeting that night still unconscious of what had hap pened, more than that his eye was sore. Next day it begun to pain and upon the attention of doctor it was discovered the sight was gone. Only slight scratch was made on the ball. Walter s many friends hope for him that the trouble is not so bad as seems and that his sight may be restored to him.

Vacations and Notifications.

An editor has varied vexatlonsG and a
multiplicity of notifications, but the
greatest of these come through typo
graphical errors in his paper, especially
when in the form of misspelled words.
This sense of modification reaches its
zenith when errors occur in the edito-
rial columns of his paper. In the rush
last week, incident to our leaving for
the annual meeting of the Press asso-
citation, seemingly objectionable err
rors occurred. For example, where
the word SCARED should have been
used in an editorial it appeared 'sored"
in type. Another word was so spelled,
rather misspelled, as to give it an
altogether different meaning from the
one written upon the editors typewri-
ter. However, such matters are not
of so great moment as we imagine, and
will make no difference, either to the
editor or reader, by the time the war
is over

peculiar to the ~low-country people OF
South Carolina. Nowhere else in the
world, not even in the old country, can
there be found a higher type or de-
gree of culture than among the old
families of South Carolina, those re-
siding in the coastwise counties. Veri-
table queens are foundjr the stately
mansions of Beaufort, TIE peers of any
who reside in the palaces of European
royalty.
Added to B%eaufort's culture is in
creasing wealth. The town has two
prosperous banks and on every hand
can be observed evidences of wealth
not only wealth, but rightly used
wealth. Having at her back fer
tile trucking lands that are now
being so planted and cultivated
as to yield a priceless harvest,
the wealth of Beaufort has only begun
to accumulate. Industrially and agri-
c~ulturally, the people have caught a
new vision and a brighter day has
dawned for this historic old town.
In closing, let US say that these good
people, true Carolinians to the hearts
core, deserve all the good fortune that
the future has in store forssthem.

Marching Regiments. Waving
Banners.

There is something in marching
regiments, waving banners, and
marshal music that grips the heart
of youth. War appears all glory;
but when the rifle and cannon and
machine gun are moving down men
by the thousands; when cities are
sacked and burned; women and
children violated, and old men kill
ed in cold blood, and when streets
are filled with cripples who were
once strong men; and when orphans
dependent upon public charity; and
when the people are struggling un-
der a crushing war debt, var is
then seer to be terrible. There is
no need to think of profanity in
connection with Sherman's state
ment that war is hell,' it is a
solemn truth. The Duke of Well
ington, who wept the morning after
the battle of Waterloo, said: War
is a most detestable thing" Next
to defeat, there is nothing more
terrible than a victory
"Oh God of love; Oh King of peace,

Use the Correct Pronunciation.

A word which appears much in the
papers and is frequently heard in con-
versations concerning the war is can
torment, a place for quartering troops.
There r two recommendations given of
the word, ABANDONMENT, with the &C
cent on the first syllable, and kan
toon-ment, with the accent or the
second syllable. Of the two, the first
is preferable. The pronunciation COM
monty heard, nevertheless incorrect, is
reinforcement, with the accent on the
second syllable. Get the habit of pro-
nouncing words correctly, even if
other people pronounce them incor-
rectly.

Beautiful, Bewitching Beaufort.

Largely because of its inaccessibility,
only a small per cent. of the people of
upper Carolina have ever visited Beau
fort, and in their failure to obtain
first-hand information, we venture the
assertion that most people have an al
together impression of this
attractive little city. Many have an
idea that, because it is situated on an
island in the "Black Belt" the town
is over run with mosquitoes and ne
groes, which is far from being true.
The normal population of Beaufort,
not including the tourists of summer
and winter, is about $500 and the ma
jority are white people, which a not
be said of Edgefeld. Much of the time
this little city is practically free from
the mosquito pest. 1t is only when a
breeze blows from inland that n hears
the unwelcome mosquito..chorus. When
the advantages of the in~vigorating
sea-breeze are considered, so greatly
offsetting the pest, one really
takes little cognizance of the mosquito
at all.
Not only is Beaufort a typical low
country town, in location, general ap-
pearance and environment, but the
Beaufort people reflect that culture

World is Growing Better.

In spite of the Germans, the world
seems to be growing better. According
to figures just given out, during the
first half of 1915 there were 81 lynch
ings in the country; during the same
period of 1916 there were Is ~lynchings
and during the first half of this year
there have been only ID lynchings.
Even Georgia is behaving better than
usual. 1t appears now that the old
world is growing better, and there will
be no question about the improvement
in matters as soon as Germany has
been squelched.
