Mrs. Saulles, who shot and killed her
divorced husband as the result of a
quarrel over the possession of their
child, claims to have been temporarily
deranged at the time the crime was
committed If the killing was as cold
blooded and premeditated as the ac-
counts Of the affair indicate, the thin
subterfuge interposed b. the defense
should receive but little consideration
at the hands of the jury.

Down in Ware county, folks are not
taking so kindly to the efforts of Tom
Watson to stir up active opposition tc
the draft. There is a movement on foot
among the officials to prohibit anti
draft meetings and well defined cam

the practical stamping out of seditious
activities such as have disgraced Ger,

Our old and irrepressible friend
Pancho Villa, is still pursuing the even
tenor of his way down in the state Of
Durango, according to news reports
from our sister republic to the south
but Carranza insists that his following

Pancho is merely recuperating durin'
the summer months, preparatory to his
periodical autumn outbreak, for il
spite of the alleged paucity of his sup
porting force, it is evident that hi
enemies do not care to investigate hi

LOYALTY ONCE AGAIN

BY Henry Wright Sedgwick.
In times of peace we are free to take
life easily, to consider ourselves as
units that are to be carefully tended
I'd ministered to; we are free to notice
our neighbors' way and the inferiority
OF those ways to our own, free to crit
icize, to find fault, to count the beams
in our neighbors' eyes. Peace is a
time of relaxation; the great rivets and
clutches, the binding forces, of our SOC
ial organization are loose, slack, dis
connected, out of joint Peace is a
kind of universal Sunday, a time OF
ncohesion, decentralization, separation
Then loyalty is in allegiance; the in
dividual is at liberty to seek first his
private good and the good of his fam
lily, of his corporation. of his com
munity, of his economic and social
unit.
In time of war all this is wholly
changed. The hundred millions OF
Americans are no longer one hundred
million separate units, each pursuing
Lis own happiness, but one body, with
one purpose and one destiny, all its

are against their seeing actual fight
ing before the winter of 1888 puts {
stop to active operations.
This would postpone the probable
date for majority of these young mer
getting into the fighting line before The
spring of 1919, and the opinion of the
majority of the military experts is thai
ii the war is not over by that time, il
will be so near over that there will be
little actual fighting for these young
men to do. Of course. things may be
hurried little, but we are discussing
probabilities and possibilities. This
government has not called out this
great army so much from an expecta-
tion of using it as to have it ready
should it be needed
Even should they get to the front
ard participate in the fighting the per
centage of killed and injured has
grown much smaller during the past
two years and with modern training
and scientific methods such as this
severe school of war has taught will
be probably much less one year hence
than it is now.
So far as death is concerned, young
men die every day of disease, from &C
cidents, and from providential causes
The man who is scared half out of his
wits today for fear he may be sent tc
the army may remain at home and be
killed by an auto within a month
There is only one life to live, and il
has a certain element of risk Dearel
and higher than life itself is duty ant
loyalty, for they are. sure as life il
uncertain.
Army training will take raw you'll
and make a seasoned man, Of him. TIL,
discipline alone is something som
young men would get from no othe
source. Coupled with this, the op
portunity of seeing the world and par
ticipating in great events should ap
peal to the young man of red blood.
Added to this is the wages of SO
month with every necessity, includ
ing medical attendance, furnished
which at present prices is estimate
at nearly $500 a day Much more thai
can be earned in the average calling.
There is nothing for the young me-
called under selective draft to be des
pondent over.-Tifton Gazette.

members acting in cooperation for
the safety of the whole. There must
be union, coordination; there must be
one will directing the whole national
system.
All of us, whether we were born in
this country and voluntarily stayed
here after coming to years of discre-
ton, or whether we immigrated here
from foreign lands and voluntarily stay,
have been receiving the benefits confer
red upon us by political, economic and
social cooperation with our fellow cit
liens. We have received their help
upon the implied promise to give our
help in return; they have helped us,
relying upon our honor to give them
help in our turn. We have taken their
assistance, their succor, their sup
port; by their aid we have enjoyed Sc
.curity in property and person; we
have profited by their comradeship and
friendship, by their work, by their
forbearance; we have taken all the ad-
vantages that come from union and CO.
operation. Let any man who thinks he
has received nothing from the political
or economic society in which he lives,
depart to a desert island. There he
will learn that he owes virtually every
thing to the companionship of his fell
low citizens.
To take what our fellows give and
not to give back is theft
In time of war loyalty-the duty to
act solely in the interest of the COM
mon goods obligatory. We must
serve one country and her alone. In
default Of loyalty there occurs what in
an individual is known as double or
triple personality, where the poor body
is subject first to one control, then to a
, second, ard then to a third; and in the
case Of nations there occurs the an
alchy of Mexico or Hayati. Disloyalty
means dissolution, death.
In times of war all theories, plans,
ndeavors for individual happiness
must be given up, the individual loses
his individuality and merges into the
great national whole In time of war
the majority governs, it govern abso-
lutely, it governs through dictator.
The minority must conform; they
must renounce their individual theor-
les, wishes, plans, and all the pleasures
of self will; they must not thwart the
will of the majority, for in time of war
tie majority constitute the nation. This
is an elementary principle taught in
the schools of France and Germany,
drunk in with mothers milk, and that
makes those nations so strong in war
that is why men are able to speak OF
the soul of France" or the soul of
Germany" Now let men speak of the
soul of America" and let them behold
what great nation, all its citizens
acting as one man, can achieve for the
welfare of the wcrld

SUICIDAL APATHY.

A few days ago every business house
IN Americas received through the mail
a request from the Americas and Sum-
ter County Chamber of Commerce a re-
quest for certain data pertaining to
each respective enterprise. The figures
desired were most intimately connected
with the operation of the business
houses here and the Chamber of Com
merce fully realized this fact when
the request was made. But full ex-
PLANTATION of the reason for the circular
letter was given and adequate assur-
ance that the figures asked for would
be held in strictest confidence. 1t was
expected that the response of the
Americas business men would be gen
eral, since the necessity for co-opera-
ton was plainly apparent
Thus far only about 10 per cent Of
the business enterprises have returned
the data sheets and in some of these
cases, the information has been incom--
plete in many important details.
1t is necessary that the Chamber Of
Commerce forward Immediately to GER
tain financial interests accurate data
a. to the volume of business handled by
the enterprises of Americas, so that the
Americas G. Atlantic Railroad, now in
process of construction, may be car
ried through to completion, to the
permanent benefit of this entire sec
ton Unless the desired information
is forthcoming and an accurate basis
of estimate is furnished the financial
interests, it is not only possible, but
probable, that the construction of the
new road will be indefinitely delayed.
There is much agitation in Americas
and Sumter county for development of
natural resources. Citizens are heard
t. wonder why this city does not move
ahead faster and why we do not re
ceive the benefit of increased facilities.
Development comes not alone through
the action of outside agencies, but
through the intelligent cooperation of
cur own citizens, who, when they from
one motive or another fail to exhibit
the proper interest in affairs tending to
improve conditions, block the wheels
of progress and hamper the growth of
their home community.
The information asked by the Cham
Der Of Commerce will ge used to fur
Their the development of Americas and
Sumter county and every loyal bust
ness man who desires to see this sec
ton march ahead, should have no hest
fancy in forwarding Immediately to
the Chamber of Commerce the data re-
quested.
Let no one fear that his business
secrets are to be disclosed. The fig
,ures are to be consolidated and no in
,dividual enterprise will be pointed out
in final report. The data sheets are to
be destroyed and only Secretary P. A.
Fenimore will lay eyes on them. He
will treat the information as of the
most confidential character.
1t is up to the business men of
Americas to Show by this comparative
| II trivial service, that they are willing
to assist in the work of making their
home community more prosperous,
more up-to-date and a better place to
live in.

WELFARE ASSOCIATION
ENDS CONFERENCE HERE
-Four Cities Put In bids for Next An
nuai Meeting Before Session
ClOaes.

The American Association for tho
study and Prevention of Infant Nor
tality closed it's eighth annual confer
ence yesterday shortly after noon. The
following cities asked for the next con-
ference: Newark. Buffalo, Chicago, and
Asbury Park.
Perhaps the most interesting and the
most important question discussed by
the delegates was that of instituting
In the public schools an improved
course in Infant welfare, it being the
primary purpose of such Il course to
instruct the girls and women more
caring for the infants of the country.
The discussion on the subject was
opened by DIR. Roy *. Flanagan. Chief
Health officer, and DIR. n. Thomas En-
nett, who IS affiliated with the public
schools. both OF whom were enthusi-
astic in their approval OF the project.
The nurses and the social workers who
participated in the morning program
also regarded the idea as an excep-
tionally agreeable one.
Mrs. Ella Flagg. of Los Angeles, WV
idly pointed out the dire need of an
earlier education of the girls and young
women in the care of infants. and pre-
scented the idea that progress along
this important line was essential to the
betterment Of the future generations.
II was brought out that one of the
most valuable lessons learned from the
allies is that preparations for war
must include protection for the mothers
and babies ut home. In this the public
nurse is of paramount Importance
In discussing these social and nurs-
ing questions. Mrs. j. w. Clarke, chief
of the Health Departments staff OF

In these raids the Pullman and par

was examined with the consent of the

baggage was seized no consent was
necessary, for no owner could be found
to claim the property.

Proves Itself Master Of This
Painful Disease.

Halfway treatment OF Rheumatism
will never rid you of It. Better real
ize from the outset that when Rheu-
matism attacks, you have n real bat
tie on your hands, and that it's a
mans job to get rid of it.
Temporizing with Rheumatism by
the use OF liniments, lotions and
other external methods of treatment,
is like trying to coax an enemy to
let up in his attacks, and permit you
TO conquer him without resistance.
But you soon learn that Rheuma-
tism will not treat you with this con-
sideration. The tiny little germs
flock together by the millions and
center their attack with undivided
force. The effects of the disease are
gradual in taking hold on the sys-
TEN. In fact. the pains are only
slight at first and do not attract your
serious attention. but they gradually
increase in severity until your en-
tire system is firmly within the grin
Of the disease. 1t is then that Won
have real fight on your hands, for
you will find that Rheumatism is a
foe that knows just how to cripple
you. The pains that were hardly
noticeable at first, become your con-
slant companions and seem to take
delight in your suffering.
or course, If this painful disease
was on the surface only, YOU might
reasonably expect to get relief by the
use of surface remedies. such as lini-
ments and other local applications.
But the source Of the disease is your
