Thanks Newspapers.

To the Publishers of America:
On behalf of the American Red
Cross may we express our deep ap-
preciation and Indebtedness for the

news columns, which you have given
to every effort of the War Council,
and especially to the Second War

trade papers throughout the entire
United States.
Your cooperation was invaluable.
We want you to know that you are
entitled to feel a sense of the keen
est satisfaction for the patriotic
service you have rendered and the
help you have given. You will be
interested to know that the total

Another Star for Sims.

Washington seems to be under the
impression that legislation is re-
quired in order to give to Vice Ad-
miral Sims the promotion to the
grade of admiral which he so we'll de-
serves, and which the responsible
ties he now shoulders so well war
rant. We do not so understand 1t.
Under the law the secretary of the
navy is permitted to designate three
officers to hold the grade of admiral
at sea. At present the commanders
in-chief of the Atlantic and Pacific
fleets and the chief of the bureau of
operations are the three officers thus
designated. It should be simple
enough for the department to desig-
nate Vice Admiral Sims as admiral
in the place of one of the three Off
GERS named.
AS our Washington correspondent,
in a recent letter emphasized, Sims
is today doing the work which for the
army is performed by two generals
Pershing and Bliss. He is not only
supreme in command of all our naval
forces in European waters, but he
represents us on the Allied naval
conferences. Nothing could be bet
ter than the way he is performing
his every duty. He has proved him
self not only great commander but
a most effective co-ordinator, and
the British and French share the ad-
miration of his abilities which is
strong throughout the navy and
strongest of all among the officers
of his own command. Congress could
we'll afford to promote him directly
to the grade of admiral, but for him
to reach that grade all that is re-
quired is an order of the secretary of
the navy so designating him. Has
Secretary Daniels any good reason
for delay in issuing such an order?

An Amusing Camouflage.

Anything which will take the in
va1id's mind off his or her sufferings
is indeed a welcome gift. Bear this
in mind if you are planning to send
over to the sick neighbor bottle
of grape juice or your homemade wild
cherry cordial. By just little work
and some patches you can camouflage
that bottle into a comical doll. Tie a
petticoat or dress around the neck of
the bottle and a shorter cape over
that.
Tie a piece of kid or cloth over the
top of the bottle and mark out fea-
lures on it with ink. Then top the
bottle with a little pasteboard toque
and you will have doll calculated to
bring smile to the bluest invalid of
your acquaintance.
Other things can be hidden in the
same way, even bottles of medicine
for children will be better received
than if allowed to stand uncovered
on the bedside table. Imagine how a
little tot will wait for medicine time
to come around if the bottle is little
Red Cross nurse and her head comes
off in a fascinating manner when the
cork is Observation-Disclosures

RICHARDS SCORED PRESIDENT.
Bethea Reads Affidavit Signed By
Heath Springs Men.

Lancaster, July 25.-Andrew J.
Bethea, candidate for Governor, at
the State campaign meeting here to-
day read an affidavit signed by promi-
nent citizens of Heath Springs, Lam
caster county, which alleged that Ma
jor John G. Richards, the Reform
gubernatorial aspirant, during the
trouble the United States was having
with Mexico and before this country's
entrance into the great war had bit
terly criticised President Wilson, say
ing among other things, that Wood
row Wilson will go down in history
as the weakest president the United
States has ever had.
The meeting, the twenty-fourth
since the canvass opened, was attend
ed by between 500 and 1000 Lam
caster county voters.
Major Richards, who preceded Mr..
Bethea, anticipating the reading of
the affidavit, neither denied nor af-
firmed that he had made the state
ment credited to him, stating he
could not recall the words. 81 may
have made it," he said, 81 do not
know, but since the opening of this
war no man living Or dead can say I
have struck our president. If I had
any such opinion it has been expelled
by the magnificent leadership and
wonderful generalship of our great
president since the war began" Ma
jor Richards then paid tribute to
Woodrow Wilson and his associates
in the conduct of the war.

The affidavit read by Mr.. Bethea
follows:

ter County: Personally appeared be-
fore me the men whose names are
signed below, who, being duly sworn,
say that they are citizens of the town
of Heath Springs, are persona lily &C.
quainted with Mr.. John &. Richards,
who lives near here at Liberty Hill,
that, at the time the United States
was having trouble with Mexico and
had her troops on the border, also
about the time Villa was making
his raids into New Mexico, the said
John G. Richards passed through
here (Heath Spriags) on his way
home and that during a conversation
with a crowd of men here in reference
to war matters he bitterly criticised
President Wilson, saying among other
things that Woodrow Wilson will go
down in history as the weakest presi-
dent the United States has ever had.

DIAL NOT A HASKELLITE.
Columbia State COrreCts Statement
That Dial Voted for Haskell.

While the assertion that one was
"Haskellite" has long ago lost in
terest to the Democrats of South
Carolina and has ceased to be en-
ployed, except by desperate Office
seekers when they are beaten and
know they are beaten, the fact is
that N. B. Dial, candidate for United
States senate, did not support Judge
A. C. Haskell for governor in 1890.
Indeed, nearly all of the people OF
Laurens supported Captain Tillman
for governor in the general election.
Very few people in the up-country
counties voted for Judge Haskell.
Mr.. Dial, in his early professional
career, had a law partnership with
the late COL John C. Haskell, of Co.
lumbia, and named his son, born
four or five years before Judge A. c.
Haskell ran for governor, Haskell" "
in compliment to his partner. The
men who voted for Judge Haskell
have certainly never been ashamed
of it and, so far from apologizing for
it, they boast of it. Nevertheless,
many very good citizens differed
about the wisdom of Judge Has
kell's candidacy and it happens to be
the fact that N. B. Dial was one OF
those who, after the nomination OF
Captain Tillman, openly supported
him.-The State.

MANAGER SAYS HARRIS HAD
RACE WON TO START WITH

Atlanta, Ga. July 23.-William J..
Harris had the race for the United
States Senate won when he started,
and his election today is more GER
tain than ever before, according to
his campaign manager, Dr. L. S. Led
better, who states that the mail re-
ceived at headquarters is growing ev-
cry day, both in quantity and conf
dence.
Ninety per cent of our mail brings
the most encouraging reports from
every section of the state" states Dr.
Ledbetter The rest is not discour-
aging at all 1t simply shows that in
few counties there is some fight. 1t
is question Of taking them away
from Hardwick"
The reports we get from the spec
ches of William Schley Howard are
all to the same effect. He is being
heard by very small audiences and
his candidacy is arousing no enthusi-
asm."
Mr.. Harris spoke yesterday at Wat
kinsville In the course OF his speech
he repeated the statement which he
has made on previous occasions that
a vote for Howard or any of the other
candidates is practically a vote for
Hardwick as it would only serve to
divide the loyal vote of the county
This seems to be the view OF unpre-
JUDGED politicians in Atlanta.

AFTER THE SUGAR HOGS.

gar: and, one means of enSurng sugar conser-
walton has ordered the removal of the open sugar
bowl in all hotels, cafes, public eating places and
boarding houses where there are more than 25 per-
sons.
In addition campaign to check up on sugar pur-
chases will be instituted at once to catch those
persons (and there arc many who buy the allot-
ted amount of sugar at store, and then make
additional purchases at other stores. Secretary D.
+. McClatchey, of the Food Administration, has
announced that such action had become necessary
because of the habit of repeating the part of SO
many persons.

sonaly, or whcthcr another Of the candidates is a
smoother orator thai, Harris, or whether another
| candidate is more deserving" OF Office than Har-
RS; none of these considerations can count The
big question is whether or not you are satisfied
that this government has done right in protect
il g you in these times OF terrible danger and that
if you satisfied you are willing to cast your
vote that the president and our soldiers may be
| assured that you think so.
"A vote for Howard, Shaw or Cooper is a vote
for iardwick" is the warning that has been ring
ing in your since the campaign opened No
body, not their most ardent supporters nor
they themselves, can think Shaw Or Cooper can be
elected. They have not produced the goods in
the past sufficiently to merit election to SO high an
office. Their presenc i'll the race is a most selfish
personal appeal. 1t is hurting their future chances
badly and if they could only realize this and stump
the country for Harris and Loyalty they would be
much better thought OF and have a much better
chance in the future-at some safer time when we
can afford to g untried men a chance.
Howard is indeed factor in the race He has
a strong record. But he is using that record as
slcdge hammer to pound on the solid rock of loy-
atty i'll Georgia, to crack it in half if he can and
let the little stream OF dsloyalty and Hardwicksm
pour through and sprinkle the nation with it's un-
clean water. Howard may not be able to crack
the rock but he can chip off many pieces
We repeat that we have nothing personally
against the former record of Howard or any of the
other candidates. but we think it was very wrong
and very unpatrotc for Howard to run for so high
an office as Senator against the wishes OF his pres-
dent and against the man the president and the
people trust His can only divide the anti
ilardwick sentiment and put the state in grave
danger OF returning that person to the Scnate-a
thing that would arouse grave doubts in the minds
OF the whole nation and would certainly discour-
age and dishearten our boys who are suffering the
fortunes OF hell and are Drawing death for us across
the seas. Howard can be classed no higher than
Cooper Shaw in this race because it is choice
not between this man and that man. but between
selfish partisan interests and the principles of 10y
atty.
Harris is the man who should be elected senator
Every voter should cast his vote for Harris, and
most OF the really loyal and really patriotic
will do His public record is splendid and the
President favors his candidacy
To sum up the whole matter If President Wood

Of all the civilized world look to with respect for
