Gratified by Spirit Shown.

Nothing in this war has been more
gratifying than the manner in which
our foreign-born fellow citizens, and
the sons and daughters of the foreign
born, have risen to this greatest of all
national emergencies
You have shown where you stand not
only by your frequent professions of
loyalty to the cause for which we fight.
but by your eager response to calls for
patriotic service. including the supreme
service of offering life itself in battle
for justice. freedom and democracy.
Before such devotion as you have
shown, all distinctions of race vanish
and We feel ourselves citizens in a
republic of free spirits.
Il therefore take pleasure in calling
your petition. with my hearty COM
mendation. to the attention Of all my
fellow countrymen, and I ask that
they unite with you in making the
independence day of this the year
when all the principles to which we
stand pledged are on trial the most
significant in our national history.
"As July 4. 1876. was the dawn of
for this nation. let us on
July 4. 1918, celebrate the birth of a
new and greater spirit of democracy,
by whose influence, We hope and be-
lieve. what the signers of the Declara-
tion Of Independence dreamed of for
themselves and their fellow country
men shall be fulfilled for all mankind.

Some. happily enjoying a political

arms against the enemies of progress.
Others. unhappily submerged, can give
but a passive opposition.

These are just few instances, pick

growth of anti-German sentiment in
this country
Americans are slow to hate. They
are patent, even when patriotic. But
the virus is sinking in. Everything
German is now anathema to a red
blooded American The mention of the
Kaiser's name is likely to provoke
profanity. The "Made-in-Germany"
trademark is now sure death, instead
of a recommendation to purchase. Ev-
erything pertaining to Prussianism is
intolerable and hate-breeding.

THE MEETING TONIGHT.

Every citizen who at heart condemns
the unpatriotic course of the junior
senator from Georgia should attend
the meeting tonight at Wheatley Hall.
That meeting has been called by the
local chapters of patriotic order for
the purpose of adopting resolutions
condemning the attitude of this I'M
worthy public servant.
Similar meetings have been held in
Georgia already. Still others will be
held in the days to come. They rep
resent the resentment and indignation
that the people feel over their betrayal
in the United States.
If you disapprove of the way in
which the junior senator has mis-rep-
resented you, attend that meeting to-
night and indicate as much by your
presence.

A FEAST FOR THE GODS.

Pericles, Socrates, and other lum-
inaries of ancient Athens used to dine
on an anchovy, a few waters and wa
ter cooled with snow brought from the
mountains, and they thought the repast
was beyond improvement.
In the days of Rome's greatest lux
ury, Vitellius, spending twelve thous-
and dollars on single feast, had such
rare dainties as parrot tongues, night
ingale brains, fish livers and roe OF
the eel caught in the Carpathian Sea.
Henry the Eighth thought nothing
better than the whole carcass of a
wild boar that he himself had speared,
washed down with huge goblets of
crude wine His imperial daughter,
Elizabeth, eating the first meal of the
day about eleven o'clock, was especial
ly fond of the breasts of young pleas
ants, well barbecued; and it was also
her custom to drink two mugs of the
strongest German beer at this break
fast.
Frederick the Great, the greatest cpl
cure of his time, who sighed for
choice dishes even as he lay dying, in
augurated that German atrocity of
fattening geese to use their livers in a
pie known as pate de foie gras; and
he was proud of this culinary achieve
ment.
The prairie pioneers, as their cara
vans wound the tedious. way across
the plains to the Pacific coast, enjoy
ed that day most when a buffalo or a
deer was killed, and the steaks toast
ed over a wood fire.
The gods of Mount Olympus. if Ho-
mer be believed, were prone to indulge
their appetites in ambrosia.
But we envy none of them. Sit US
down to a Sunday dinner and spreaI
before Us new Irish potatoes. fresh
English peas, tender snap beans, young
onions, juicy beets, appetizing cucum-
bers, succulent sliced tomatoes, boiled
country ham, hot corn mullins, straw
berries and cream and plenty of cold
buttermilk, and we have the absolute
confidence of knowing that neither the
Grecian gods nor the royalty of old
erer had a gastronomic feast more
sumptuous. more imposing, and more.
gratifying to the inner soul.

AN ENTERPRISING BANK.

The Recorder takes pleasure
in calling attention ~ the Whole page
advertisement of the Bank of Leslie
which appears in this issue and will
he published in other editions during
the week
Tbs advertising, done solely as an
incenti.e to Liberty Bond buying in
Sumter county, came to The Times-Re-
corder unsolicited, and was prompted
by the enterprising spirit and patriotic
impulses which characterize the men
who operate the Bank of Leslie.
1t is the most notable instance OF
advertising ever done by any of the
banks of the county, and reflects much
credit upon the town of Leslie itself.
In the previous Liberty Loan sub
scriptions the Leslie district made an
especially fine showing, and it is be-
lieved that an even better record will
be established this time In that event
the Bank of Leslie will be largely de-
serving of the credit.

THE MOUNTAINS AND THE MOUSE.

A Fable from Aesop reads like this:
One day the Countrymen noticed that
the Mountains were in Labor; smoke
came out of the SUBMITS, the earth
was quaking at their feet, trees were
crashing and hugs rocks were tumbl
ing. They felt sure that something
tremendous was going to happen They
all gathered together to see what ter
rible thing this would be. They wait
ed and they waited, but nothing came
At last there was a still more violent
earthquake, and huge gap appeared
in the side of the Mountains. They
all fell down upon their knees and
waited. At last, and at last, a teeny,
tiny mouse poked it's little head out of
the gap and came running down to-
ward them.

Finally, its achievement appeared. IT

and brought forth a mouse!
And such a mouse, so well-tamed,
trained to run around in circles and
eat out of the hands (of the Atlanta
politicians) that feed it!
