Then God Help Us

At the recent meeting in Chicago
OF editors of trade publications and
representatives of the allied manufac-
turers, MIR. w. H. Taylor, president of
the Iron Age Company of New York.
IS quoted by the Tribune as saying:
IF we are not better prepared for
peace than we were prepared for war
then God help US Evidence is arriv-
ing IN this country that Germans
are planning to make use of Spain.
Holland, Denmark and Sweden where
they will manufacture goods for dis
trlbutiOn IN countries where mer-
chandlse made in Germany will find
an unwelcome reception"
Free-Traders and that element
among PrOtectionists who have been
lured from the safe and sane path
by the transparent 'non-partisan' -
camoufage of our Free-Trade admin
Istratlon refuse to look this prospect
IN the face. They say we shouldn't
be thinking about the Tariff. But men
with open eyes, among them Mr.. Tay-
Tor, persist in thinking about prepar-
ing for peace. They realize that a
Protective Tariff is the most import
ant among peace preparations

Protection More Than Ever

Commercial travellers are or ought
to be, Protectionist for one good rea-
son, if no other, and that is that IN
der the system of Protection home in
dustries are encouraged; the Amer
lean workman has money to spend
and the merchant and travelling man
benefit by larger orders. At this time
Protection is more than ever neces-
sary to safeguard the American
manufacturer against foreign goods
being dumped on this market at the
close of the war, seriously upsetting
business conditions.
For the workingman a small loaf
of bread is better with money TO buy
it than a large loaf with no money to
purchase it with. Vote against Pro-
lection and YOU will certainly be
without the money, mills closed down
and merchants afraid to buy.
ct must be the first conviction of
every merchant, manufacturer and
workman, that now is the time to
make preparations for Protecting our
home industries. 1t does not seem to
me that this should be left until the
close of the war. Merchants will not
refuse to buy foreign goods when the
war is over If they can buysfor less
than homemade goods cost them.
Anyone merchant cannot turn down
foreign goods from patriotic motives
when he knows his competitor may
buy them and undersell him.
Competition viii be keener thar ever
but the stamp made in America"
will be more widely known and more
dependable than the old ''Made IN
Germany" which we saw on too
many articles.--Mr. Charles R. Lloy

There's a little tin box by the road

Where the wild marsh willows

In summer It's covered with sunshine
And IN winter with snow
And little boy with bare brown feet
Used to trudge down the wheel

In the glow of the glad May mornings
When the world was all alive
TIL he come to that box by the road
side,
And, reaching up with a key.
He searched inside for letters
And that little boy was me

Long past-and God only knows

Diseovered b. DE-. Welch

The baciIh Welchi, small spore-
bearing germ which is the cause of
gaseous gangrene, was discovered by
DR.. w. H. Welch of John Hopkins
University, a member of the medical
advisory committee of the American
Red Cross in 1892. The disease in
question developes within a few
ours of the time when the wound is
received and if left to itself, invari-
ably proves atal Its duration is from
u hours TO 4 days From careful
anatomical studies It has been demon
strated that the disease develops only
IN wounds involving muscle tissue.

The Yankee boys are making their

the past ten days have taken much
toll of the Huns, in many instances
putting them to rOut and fairly on the
stampede Telegraphic reports bring
the information that Americans are
fierce and rapid fighters and terrify
TIE enemy wherever they come IN
contact. It is characteristic of the
live wire American to do things and
the average American will turn
dozer tricks while the Flooding
German is turning around. 1t is these
whirlwind stunts that take the breath
Cf the boche, or make him drop his
gun and take to his heels. One in
stance is reported where an aliott-
ment of Americans got bunch of
Germans on the run and they kept up
the chase so persistently and pursued
the enemy so far that the command
ing officers feared they would get
tGo far into the enemys country and
perhaps be captured or annihlated,
and they tried to call the Yankee b
back, without avail They sent cour-
iers after them, but to no effect Fin
ally they dispatched an air plane to
head them off and drop orders to them

boys said they wanted to go TO Berlin

Sow Sorghum for Forage.

We do not know how it is in other
parts of South Carolina, but as for
Edgefield county there is almost GER
tain to be shortage Of food for live
stock. Unless a desperate effort is
made along every line in the matter
of planting late crops, owing to the
apparent early neglect of these crops
there will be an unprecedented short
age next spring. A large acreage
sown in oats may relieve the short
age next summer. 1t is the period
from October till May that must be
provided for now. While it is too late
to plant corn with the hope of hav-
ing the ears mature, yet it could be
cut just before frost and housed for
forage. A better crop still, for late
planting to supplement the forage,
would be sorghum. Plant some at

Field Day Programme.

The official family and the people
who make the machinery of the Ad-
olson Mill CO., together with a num-
Der of their friends, gathered at the
fair grounds the 4th of July and had
a day of outdoor sport and pleasure.
The gates to the grounds were open
ed early and the programme which
had been printed was carried out to
the letter. A spirited game of base
ball was first played between Edge
field and a visiting team. After a long
hard-fought contest the score stood
a to 2 in favor of Edgefeld. After
the very exciting sport upon the dia-
mond, racing contests were engaged
in by boys, men, children and young
ladies, a prize being awarded to the
winner in each contest. Mr.. T.. A.
Hightower and Mr.. j. T. Mcneil were
both constantly on the grounds doing
everything in their power to make
the day one of pleasure to all who
attended.
At the close of the races, a boun-
tiful barbecue dinner, with sweets,
was served in the woman's building
of the fair grounds. The meat was
cooked by Nh. Pearce QUITS who on
more than one occasion has proven
himself to be expert. It was served
in plates upon long tables by a COM
mittee of ladies who were constant
ly on the alert, leaving no one with
out a bountiful supply of everything.
In the afternoon a game of ball was
again played. The entire day was one
of unusual pleasure.

Do Not Close the Schoolhouse.

School days are over for the pres
ent, but with the many activities that
war times and local needs demand of
us, the closing Of the school term
should not mean the closing of the
school house doors.
Let us see if every rural school
house cannot be used this vacation
for some truly useful and education
al work.
| know of one schoolhouse in a
nearby town that was kept open last
summer for the purpose of canning
surplus vegetables that might be sent
in from neighboring gardens.
Also, why not organize a Red Cross
chapter in your community and keep
the schoolhouse open for the purpose
of making bandages, pneumonia jack
cts and hospital garments for our
wounded soldiers?
Another plan would be to have it
open certain days in the week for
the meeting of a community knitting
club. If you haven't a Red Cross chap
ter yourself, you a secure wool
from the chapter nearest you.
Aside from these, there might be
meetings of the United Farm Women
home and farm demonstrators, sing
ing clubs, the practicing of the boys
band, the girls literary society, the
Farmers Union picnics, socials for
money-making and athletic contests.
May the closed door of every
schoolhouse in every rural commun-
ity be a challenge to each person who
passes it to see that those doors are
opened and that the building is put
to some useful, inspiring service
