COTTON & POTATO CAMPAIGN

The Help Win the War Unit Of the
Red Cross Canteen Service, whose
work consists in serving lunches and
other refreshments to our ssoldiers,
sailors and Marines passing through
Abbeville to and from military camps
desire to give our people generally
an opportunity to contribute to this
worthy cause.
, It is therefore suggested, that the
farmers when selling bale of cot
ton, remember our fighting men, who
are daily risking their lives and not
only risking their lives, but shedding
their blood and ofttimes giving their
lives, to save all that is dear to us
in religion and civilization. Yes, we
ask the big-hearted country and town
farmers (white and colorfdl to dSof
a piece of silver in our tassek
as a silent but powerfulre; Under
that the comfort of our boys is not
forgotten by the men at home, who,
while not on the actual firing line,
are still soldiers of the U. s. A., be-
cause they are raising the food and
clothing necessary for our soldiers
and those of our brothers in arms
the men of France, England, Bel
gium and Italy.s
Therefore, we ask these aforesaid
country and town farmers to rem
ember when selling their crop and
when digging potatoes, don't forget
the "Help Win the War" Unit. Send
them a'peck or a bushel and I assure
you we will not be frightened at a
wagon load, for we have facilities
for storing them and we can sell all
that is donated to make money to
relieve the tedium of the long rail
way rides over hundreds Of miles,
which our soldiers must undergo in
receiving their military training.
A receptacle to receive these pat
riotic offerings will be placed in all
the city banks so as to be convenient
to depositors.

When we make peace we are en-

SERVICE FLAGS
FOR THE COUNTY

The Abbeville Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy have
undertaken to supply a want that
has long been felt by number of
people in this county. With so many
of our young men in the training
camps and across the seas, and the
prospect of ever increasing numbers
Joining that band of soldiers and
sailors, a service flag and honor roll
becomes not only desirable but even
necessary, to properly record the
history of our part in the great war.
Abbeville Chapter, as above stated,
has decided to assume the responsis
bility for such a service flag and
honor roll.
Central authorities at Washington
notified the local chapter that they
could not aid them before the ex-
piration of six months or more. So
the ladies of this vicinity have de-
cided to 60 ahead on their own ini-
tiative and make a record Of the
young men and ladies actively en-
gagged in war work. These, names
will be placed on an honor roll to
be set up in the Court House. There
will be two service flags instead of
one. The first will be for native
white soldiers. The second will be
for the negroes who have entered
service from this vicinity. ..
{Of course, the task undertaken by
the Daughters of the Confederacy
is an arduous one and must have the,
unqualified support of the people to
be a success. Every relative or
friend of a person in the service is
called upon to send Immediately to
Mrs. P. A., Cheatham the name of
that soldier or seaman, together with
his address and description of the
branch of service in which he is en-
gagged. It is understood that this in
vitation applies to ladies engaged as
nurses and all those actively engaged
in. warfare. Friends sending the
names of persons in the srevice are
also, asked to contribute &c. for ev-
cry name they send in and thus pay
for the star representing their son,
brother, or sweetheart. ..

THE PEACE PROPOSAL.

The reply Of this country to the
Austrian peace note, which was in

BELIEVES OFFER MAY
LEAD TO END OF WAR
New York Times Urges That Allies
Accept Austrian Peace Pro-

Accept Austrian Peace Pro-
posal.
New York, Sept. 14.-The New
York Times in an editorial today
urged that the Allies accept the Aus
trian proposal for an "unbinding de-
cision" looking toward peace.
The newspaper, however, declares
"peace negotiations must throttle
Germany,s military power and there
must be no repetition of the war. 1t
comes in form which the Allies may
honorably accept in the confident be-
lief that it will lead to the end of
the war" ... -. ,
"The custom and practice Of ma
tions," the editorial continues, "de-
mand that this invitation to enter
upon the preliminary discussions of
peace receive the most serious and
respectful attention of the govern
mentsN to which it is addressed"
Commenting on causes for the
proposal, it said: 49,"
"For the actual and moving cause
of the proposals we must look to the
battlefelds of France. The French,
British and American troops under
command of Marshal Foch, the ad-
vancing and victorious legions di-
rected by Haig, by Petain and by
Pershing, have brought about this
complete change in the minds and in
the attitude toward the war, of Wen
ma and of Potsdam. The refuent
current that began to hear the Ger
mans back from the Marne on July
18, and has never ceased its ire
sistible sweep extinguished their last
hopes of victory. st. Mihiel comes
as an admonition of impending and
irretrievable disaster.
The Times declares all , Hbelliger.
ents desire the end of. the war but
says it would be the worst blundel
for us or any of the entente Allies
to abate war preparations now.
Commenting on what might be
forced from the Central Powers, the
newspaper said: ...:. f..
"a peace that left Germany mas
ter of the East would be crime
against ourselves and our posterity.
Control of vast regions where she
could renew her now diminished
might, she must at once and for all
times renounce. The restorations
and preparations to be decided in the
west are equally indispensable but
reiteration has made them familiar" "
Other New York newspapers de-
clared the proposals must be spurned
as they now stand.
"No one but German or vassal
Of Germany could imagine that with
the responsible leaders of Prussian
militarism almost as false and boast
full as ever, peace by negotiations
is impossible" the World said.
"The awful tragedy of the war is
not to be thus adjusted. No lie is to
come triumphant from the fields
where so many brave men have per-
ished."
The Tribune asked:
"Do we not believe what we say
about this German thing? That it is
frightful beyond redemption; that it
cannot be lived with, and that it
must be utterly destroyed" and then
pointed to the crimes which have
been committed.
Germany has lost the war;" it
continued. "The peace offensive is
now her most dangerous weapon.
Let it break. itself upon the text:
"He that leadeth into captivity
shall 60 into captivity: He that kill
eth with the sword must be killed
with the sword"

GREAT ENGLISH WRITER
MADE GLOWING PRE-
DICTION
| HAS LONG SINCE FULFILLED
Reunion Visitors In September at TUT
ga Will See Monument To
Irving Who Visited
the Spot In 1882.

Tulsa, Okla, A~s.-In the early
thirties, the renowned Washington IrV.
ing came over from England and made
a tour of parts of the United States.
His tour to the southwest included
a stop among the Indians at the pres
ent location of the city of Tulsa. Lo-
cal history has it that he paused on
an eminence about mile northwest
Of the center of the present business
district Of Tulsa, and took compre-
hensive view of the valley of the Ar
kansas spread out before him. The
following description Of the land
scape, and prophecy of the future
wealth of the community, appears in
his sketches Of the American tour:
"This seems to me to be the Prom
issd Land, flowing with milk and
honey. On the rich heritage of the
prairies will be fed herds of cattle
as innumerable as the sands upon the
seashore And the flowers that bedeck
the prairies will be paradise for
nectar-loving being"
This was written October Is, 1882,
about the time of year that the 28th
annual reunion of the Confederate
Veterans Association will be held this
year at Tulsa. The dates of the re
union are September 24-27 inclusive,
or some ten days earlier in the fall
than the dates upon which Irving
wrote his appreciation of the valley
of the Arkansas. Visitors to the re-
union will have an opportunity to en-
joy the same river panorama, made
more beautiful and promising by mod
ern enterprise and city of $4,000
people. The greatest agricultural
section Of Oklahoma is along the Ar
kansas, above and below the city Of
Tulsa, a land now flowing with milk
and honey, fulfilling the Irving proph-
ecy if not discounting it.
One of the beauty spots around
Tulsa is Irving Circle, on the crest OF
ridge north Of the city now beauti-
tilted by handsome residences. A
monument has ben erected there COM
memorating the visit and prophecy OF
Washington Irving made more than
eighty years ago The idea was orig
mated and carried out by w. Tate
Brady, chairman of the General Com
mittee Of the Confederate reunion or
ganization. In the meantime, the
prophecy Of the great English writer
has been discounted many times.
The comparatively ancient settle
ments of the Indians around Tulsa and
throughout the state are full Of in
terest. The footprints Of the Indian
have been obliterated by the march
of modern progress, but his name ling
ers. Where he formerly had his tent
ed villages, or wigwam abodes, cities
have been built and towns laid out.
His hunting grounds on the Arkansas
have been converted into rich and
productive farms. Alfalfa has taken
the place Of prairie grass, and domes-
tic cattle Craze in former haunts Of the
wild beast. -

VOLUNTEERS HAVE TWO DAYS
Citizens Are Urged to Make Their
Pledges on First TWO Days,
September 20 and 29.
VOLUMN A

Eighth Federal Reserve District has
set aside Saturday, September %,
and Sunday, September 90, the open
ing days of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Campaign, as Volunteer Subscription
Days
It is intended that on these two
days opportunities shall be provided
Tor all citizens in the district, to vol
unfairly, without solicitation, SUB
scribe for Fourth Liberty Bonds.
The directors of publicity are re-
Quested previous to the opening Of
the campaign, to arrange for publicity
throughout all counties and cities,
bringing to the attention of the peo-
pie the opportunity of expressing vol
unfairly their patriotism and loyalty,
by buying Liberty Bonds.
Churches VIII Help.
The director OF speakers will ar
range to- have patriotic speeches and
mass meetings on these days, and all
churches on Sunday, September 20,
will have patriotic sermons preached
Sales Director Vincent L. Price has
issued instructions to each county
chairman and director of sales re-
guessing their cooperation on the
plan. Places must be provided in
each locality, where the people may
enter their subscriptions. and ample
publicity must be given. Director
Price suggests that booths, offices,
stores and banks may be used The
factories should be organized for
Volunteer Day. and some one pres
ent to receive subscriptions.
1t is expected that the Women s. Di
vision will have an important part in
the work Of Volunteer Days." and
they should be included in all plans
The work of subscribing on Sun
day, September 20, will be largely
through the churches, and the Lib
erty Loan Workers are particularly
instructed to see that the pastors of
each church is advised of the plans,
and requested to aid in the work.
Buttons and Flags on Hand.
The head of the sales department
IT. each community is expected to see
that subscription cards, Liberty Loan
buttons and individual honor flags are
at hand These supplies may be OBJ
tanned through the Central Liberty
Loan Organization at ST. Louis.
Mr.. Price says that it is felt that
this idea of Volunteer Subscription
Days is wanted by the people and that
they will respond same readily and
literally. If such proves to be the
case it will be a movement toward
simplifying and shortening the Liber-
ty Loan Campaigns.
In France and England the Loans
are all taken by Volunteer Subscrip-
tons.
The Loans are announced by the
right kind of publicity, places and
means for subscriptions are provided
and the people take the Loans.
That's all there is to it there-why
not here?

NO MEETING TONIGHT

Too much cannot be said for wonderful
preparation, familiar to many women a.
Mothers Friend.
1t is more effective in its action than all
the health rules ever laid down for the
guidance Of expectant mothers. It Is an
external application that spreads its influence
upon the cords, tendons and muscles of the
abdomen, rendering them plant, and they
expand gracefully without that peculiar
wrenching strain.
The occasion is, therefore, one of un-
bounded joyful anticipation and too much
stress cannot be laid upon the remarkable
influence which a mothers happy prenatal
disposition has upon the health and fortunes
OF the generations to come.
The pain at the crisis Is infinitely less
when Mothers Friend Is used during the
period of expectancy for the muscles ex-
pand easier and with less strain when baby
Is born.
Mothers Friend Is for external use only,
