Hon. G. L. Toole,
Aiken, S. G.
Dear Mr.. Toole:
Your highly appreciated letter re-
ceived. They are happy minutes,
hours, and days when a soldier gets
a letter like yours from Gods people
at home. Your acquaintance over
here surely want you elected to con-
gress. l hope that I will be able to
gratulate you in my next letter. II
they send you to France, I hope to
see you here. You would like France.
We are putting up hard fight and
the French people are full OF smiles
when they see an American. Our
troops are passing through the towns
daily. The women are raking hay
and gathering the crops. Every
town has it's supervisor who looks
after the farming interest. The peo-
pie get their rations just like SOL
der. The country is great for wheat,
oats and rye, but have not seen any
corn or cotton. Spring-sown wheat
is ripe already, but it is impossible
to gather it now while there is so
auch fighting going on.
Best regards to your family,
Your friend.

NOTICE TO ALL DEMOCRATIC
VOTERS OF BAMBERG COUNTY.

AS county chairman l request all
Democratic voters of the county of
Bamberg to furnish me at the earliest
date possible, the present correct ad-
dress Of all Democratic voters of the
county who are absent from the coun-
ty and engaged in the civil, military
or naval service of the United States.
l ask this cooperation in order that
l may be able to send ballots to them
to vote, in accordance with the law
of the State and rules of the party.
l find that those who are engaged
in the service of the United States
are being constantly transferred and
it is very difficult to obtain their
correct address. I shall appreciate
the cooperation of voters and friends
in this matter. j. F. CARTER.

We trust that Bamberg county
will give a good majority for Robert
A. Cooper for governor. He is
strong, clean man, and will make an
excellent chief executive. There are
several men in the race, but it will
narrow down to Cooper as represent
ing the anti-Blease voters, and Rich'
ards as the Blease candidate. We
have nothing to say against Mr.. Be-
thea, but he has no chance to be
elected, and your vote for him only
weakens Cooper and strengthens
Richards. So don't lose your vote in
the first primary. Vote for Cooper
and elect him on the first ballot. By
the way, don't forget J. T., Lilies for
lieutenant governor. Vote for him
too.

President Wilson says that Jim
Byrnes is lone of the strongest and
most dependable men in the house
and he genuinely regrets the charges
Byrnes's opponents have been bring
ing against him, for he knows they
are absolutely untrue. The question
for the voters of Bamberg county to
decide is, will they vote for Byrnes,
who has the endorsement of Wood
row Wilson, or one of his opponents,
none of whom has the presidents en-
dorsement? We are confident that
they will stand by the president, and
that Byrnes will carry this county by
a large majority. This is the judg-
ment of some of the best Judges of
political sentiment in the county, and
we believe they are correct. The
fight made against Byrnes by his
opponents is not at all to their cred
it, and the voters will resent such
tactics. We do not object to legl-
innate criticisms of any mans pub
lie record, but the attempts made by
these men to twist and pervert Mr..
Byrnes's acts and to charge him with
things they knew were untrue, does
not meet our idea of fair play. Byrnes
has not had fair deal in this race,
and the voters ought to resent it by
giving him a greater majority than
ever before, and we believe they will.
Shame on any man who lets his de-
sire for Office lead him to say and
do things that he knows his con-
science will last him for! Byrnes
is good enough for Woodrow Will
son, and his opponents dare not at
tempt to deny it. He ought to be
good enough for every voter in the
second district.

Of course every man who votes fol-
Blease is not disloyal, for some good
people who are misguided will nc
doubt vote for him, but it is safe
bet that every disloyal man in South
Carolina will vote for him. The pro-
Germans and those who are opposed
to the war and Woodrow. Wilson will
vote for Blease, and no true Amerl-
can ought to allow himself to be
found in that company.

what kind of law is it that will not
allow them representation on juries,
etc. The whole thing is too sicken-
ing to give to our readers, but we
think the people ought to know what
manner of man it is who is now seek
ing the high and honorable position
of successor to Senator Tillman in
the United States senate. Such a
speech could have but one effect, and
that is to stir up strife between the
negroes and white people, and de-
stroy what the white people Of this
State fought for so hard and against
such great odds in 1876. No carpet
Dagger in those days made more in
flaming speech to the negroes that
did Blease two years ago at Allen
university, according to the negro
paper. We cannot believe, we re-
fuse to believe, that great number
of people in South Carolina will
sanction Blease's speech to the ne
groes on that occasion, when he not
only sought to destroy the good feel
ing between the two races, but ac-
tually assumed to champion the base
prejudices of the colored people.
Right at time above all othersthat
the country needs the support of the
colored people, as we'll as all others,
Blease makes this inflaming speech.

UGH! ACID STOMACH,
SOURNESS, HEARTBURN,
GAS OR INDIGESTION
The Moment "Pape's Diapepsin'
Reaches the Stomach ALI
Distress Goes.

Do some foods you eat hit back
taste good, but work badly; ferment
into acids and cause a sick, sour,
gassy stomach? Now, Mr.. or Mrs.
Dyspeptic, jot this down: Pape's
Diapepsin helps neutralize the eXces-
sive acids IN the stomach so your
food won't sour and upset you. There
never was anything so safely quick,
so certainly effective. No difference
how badly your stomach is upset You
usually get happy relief in five min
utes, but what pleases you most is
that it helps to regulate your stom-
ach so you can eat your favorite foods
without fear.
Most remedies give you relief some
times-they are slow, but not sure.
''Pape's Diapepsin" is positive in
neutralizing the acidity, so the mis-
cry won't come back very quickly.
You feel different as soon as
Pape's Diapepsin' comes in contact
with the stomach-distress just van
ishes-your stomach gets sweet, no
gases, no belching, no eructations OF
undigested food, your head clears and
you feel fine.
Go now, make the best investment
you ever made, by getting large
fifty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any drug store. You realize in
five minutes how needless it is to
suffer from indigestion, due to acid
formation.

NEED 5000 NURSES FOR ARMY
BY JUNE l..

A call for 5000 nurses between
now and June 1, for services in mill
tary hospitals at home and abroad
has been made upon the Red Cross
by Surgeon General Goras, of the
army. Nearly 1000 nurses already
have been supplied by the Red Gross,
but the need for more grows impera-
tive daily. Of the eighty or ninety
thousand registered nurses in the
United States, General Goras esti-
mates that approximately 10000 will
be needed for service in army hos
pitfalls during the year.
Miss Jane A. Delano, Red Cross di-
rector of nursing, issued an appeal
to the country's nurses to volunteer.
She pointed out that such nurses
would be eligible to participate in the
army and navy insurance at nominal
rates.

on from a fall and the results We're
very severe, causing me more suf-
fering than the fall itself. No one

at that time, for 1 suffered awfully.

twinges shot through my kidneys
and if anyone had hit me in the back

CORN IMPORTS ARE CUT OFF TO
MAKE WAY FOR WHEAT.

A temporary embargo on corn i'm
ports has been declared by the War
Trade Board to increase the move
ment of wheat from South America,
needed here for immediate consump-
ton. Another purpose of the order
is to make available wheat for ship
ment to Switzerland, which though
promised supplies from the United
States, is running perilously short
because deliveries have not been
made.

years ago without opposition from
every National Guardsman in the coun-

Senator whose mind usually works IN
such a way as to put him in opposition

The amendment authorizes the Presi-

Army to serve in the National Guard
in any rank above that OF captain,
while the act itself prevents him from
serving in any rank o,low that of brig

There has always been excellent ma

The friend of the militia on the Senate
committee brought out the process.
Every officer is responsible for his own

the unfitness of an officer under him it

to his immediate superior, and through
the regular channels the charge reach

whether to retire the officer. If this
board, composed of his peers, decides

the good of the service, and the officer
is retired.

times called, confined to the National

1t is a significant fact that through
the medium of effective militarist prop
uganda the people of Germany once

of patience and tolerance in SO far as
the war is concerned. Activities in the
