President Wilson'S Speech.

| President Wilson spoke as follows,
In replying to the address Of Presi-
| dent Poincare:
"ME. President: I am deeply in
debted to you for your gracious
greeting. 1t Is very delightful to
find myself In France and to feel the
quick contact of sympathy and unaf-
fected friendship between the repre-
! sentatiVes of the United States and
tho representatives Of France.
"You have been very generous in
what you were pleased to say about
myself, but feel that what have
said and what l have tried to do has
been said and done only in an at
tempt to speak the thought Of the
| people Of the United States truly and
to carry that thought out in action.
Moro Than Victory.
From the first the thought of the
people of the United States turned
toward something more than the
mere winning of this war. It turned
to the establishment of eternal prin-
ciples of right and justice. 1t realiz-
ed that merely to win the war was not
enough; and it must be won in such
way, and the questions raised by
1t settled In such a way, as to insure
the future peace of the world and lay
the foundations for the freedom and
happiness Of it's many peoples and
nations.
| j"Never before has war worn so
terrible visage or exhibited more
grossly the debasing influence of IL
licit ambitions. am sure that I
shall look upon the ruin wrought by
the armies of the Central Empires
with the same repulsion and deep
Indignation that they stir In the
hearts of the men of France and Bel
GUM; and appreciate as you do,
SIR the necessity of such action in
the final settlement of the issues of
the war as will not only rebuke such
acts OF terror and spoliation, but
make mon everywhere aware that
they cannot be ventured upon with
out the certainty Of just punishment.
Joy OF Americans.
II know with what ardOr and en-
thusiasm the soldiers and sailors Of
the United States have given he best
that VAS in them in this war of re-
demptfon. They have expressed the
true spirit Of America. They believe
their deals to be acceptable to free
peoples eVcryWhere and are re1Oiced
to hate played the part they have
played In giving reality to those
ideals N cooperation with the armies
Of the ALLIES.
I'VE, are proud of the part they
have played and we are happy that
they should have been ASSOCIATED
with such comrades in common
cause.
1T is)with particular pleasure. Mr..
PresideAt, that l find myself in
France Joining with you in rejoicing
over tho victory that has been won.
The tied that bind France and the
United States are peculiarly close.
do not know In what other comrade-
ship we {ould have fought with more

E4GHT THE RED SPIDER NOW.
Timely Advice from County and
Special Agricultural Agents..
Bditor Keowee Courier:

4 Editor Keowee Courier:
Recalling the great trouble many
OF the farmers of Oconee had during
1.-The past summer, the hard fight that
was made against the efred spider,
4 and the seId is result lts that olloWed
q 81 ppsest in an
as,esni Il the ma ter oe
pTas ention to the attention OF our
TSfaPmer friends It Is so much easier
e to PREVENT, or at least greatly
h1ader, the destructive work Of field
pests by advance work than it is to
try to destroy the pest after it has
made its appearance in the field and
has begun its destructive work. We
hope, therefore, that warning at
this time, with the admonition that
precautions should be taken NOW,
will prove OF benefit to our farmers
and to OR county. IT viii certainly,
If the farmer will heed the warning
and do the necessary precautionary
work. Stop them now!
To wait until the cotton becomes
infested with the red spider next
summer, and then attempt to fight
it, reminds one of the man who
looks his crib after the corn has been
stolen.
At this time Of the year the food
plants of the red spider are becoming
scarcer every day. There are only
very few plants on which this pest
can spend the winter, and among
the most important are the common
violet, poke weed and blackberry
bushes. These plants, found along
ditch banks and terraces, form the
winter hotels for the red spiders.
Where there are no efforts made at
clean farming, one must not expect
to escape the ravages of this pest
and other pests next season. This
is the best time of the year to fight
our most serious field crop insect
pests.
Now is the time for this work.
All poke weed, blackberry bushes,
ylolets that are to be found along
the terraces, ditch banks, fence cor
ners, and all other places in the
vicinity of the cotton fields, should
be destroyed and burned. The red
spider spends the winter on the
roots of some Of these plants.
Not only is the red spider deprived
of its most fortified position for the
winter, but the boil weevil, chinch
bug, Hessian fly and other farm in
sect pests are most effectively con-
trolled or prevented. Allowing rub
bish to remain on the farm is the
best way to help these pests to ac-
complish their destructive work
next season.
Fall Is "Clean-Up Day" on the
farm.
These pests cannot spend the win
ter in well-kept fields or in fields
where cover crops are growing.

Nothing Surprising.
There Is nothing surprising in the
large casualty lists now appearing.
The early reports of casualties wore
small as they came through by cable,
by reason of the fact that 1t was i'm
possible to complete the lists at the
moment. Now that hostilities have
ceased on the Western front there is
more time to devote to the compil-
Ing of the lists, and they grow larger
with each succeeding report. Many
of the casualties now being reported
are more than month late. There
Is no reason whatever for those Vi
tally concerned in these lists to fear
worse news Is coming, or to feel that
the casualties now being reported
are of recent origin. Practically all
OF those names reported on the list
above have been heard through pri-
vate sources in the past. This Is
simply the official list for the War
Department and for the public infor-
nation.
