there may be conditions precisely sim

treatment, upon getting at the deepest
causes, sometimes so far away as to
be almost beyond detection. When we
trace the causes we are almost GER

defect of character. II is this defect
thar must be treated. The wound may
be only the clamoring of health, under

In one scene you laugh until it be-

such interference ia contrary to the
old doctrine on which this government
was founded and for which our for

Another curious thing to US is that
the editor of The State and the editor

real fighting, or make any effort to
do any.
Another curious thing to Us is some
of the illustrations that some of

appeals for the creation of war sen-
timent.
Another curious thing to us is that
the Columbia Record has just discov-
cred why we are in this war. "For,
henceforth, We will be in the war to
avenge the suffering Of American SOL

association at Prosperity. We under

OF the old gentleman in some time.
This speaker advises the farmers
first to grow enough food and feed

then grow all the cotton you can re-

the most sensible remark We have
heard from any Of the boil weevil or

30 years. Except we sad grow all
your food and supplies and then grow
all the cotton you can regardles OF
the price. The farmer in this Sec
ton who follows this plan will al
ways make some money. And the al!
cotton planter rarely does make any
money after his expenses are met.
But this gentleman also said that the

take the advice Of any one but were
going on planting cotton until the
boil Heevil actually arrived and pal

CURIOUS

There are many very curious things
in this world. And many curious
things are being done in this day ol
rapid change and quick transition
The president of the United States ha:
taken three or four opposite po'
sitions on the war situation
since a stae of war was declac-
ed at his demand, but then consist
ency is not one of his predominatins
traits, and more than that, we pre-
sumo, one is not supposed to be con-
sistent in this day of such rapid trans
itions.
The most curious thing to our
mind is that while the head of the
sseat Roman Catholic church is
bending his energies to bring the world
to peace, and stop this awful slaugh-
ter that is going on in the world to-
day, the ministers Of the protestant
Christian churches are going about
over this State making speeches TO
create a war sentiment among our
people. and "clerically" cussing about
1t. DR.. Lee Davis Lodge down at
Prosperity the other day in his I'M
nassioned war speech said he be

Tvs, recall what or whom he was
eussing, but we suppose it must have
beeu the kaiser, and he said that a
clerical friend of his told him tnas
was the clerical way in which to cuss.
We believe that Or. Lodge is min
lister. We know that DR.. Crane VINO
speke at Jolly Street is a minister.
And ordinarily fine fellow.
And DR.. Cromer and DR.. Snyder
are near ministers. DR.. Snyder Is
now the president of Christian col
lege and DIR. Crome use to be- ana

And the governor of the State bor-

did not need any such preaching ie
