AN ERROR CORRECTED.

.sr+g - 3 L..
In a recent news story in The
Times-Recorder it was incorrectly
stated that several of the army cars
al Souther Field were used for pleas
ure riding last Sunday.
1t is untrue that these cars were
used for such purposes. On the con-
trary, they were run solely for rea-
sons of military necessity, in accord
with strict orders to that effect issued
by Major Carlyle H. Wash.
The inaccuracy crept in the story
in connection with the statement that
officers and soldiers were among the
joy-riders. This is true, but they
used their personal or hired automo-
biles. and were not in the official army
cars at all.
However, as The Times-Recorder
has already stated, these men were
few in number and certainly did not
reflect the general spirit of the camp.
Undoubtedly, in fact, if their names
we're known to the commanding Of
ficer they would be disciplined.
1t is a pleasure to correct this mis-
statement that the official camp cars
were used, since the great bulk OF
the men at the camp, from Major
Wash down, have always shown
cheerful disposition to be thoroughly
patriotic in every particular, in COM
mon with the civilians of Sumter
county.

GARD OF THANKS.

In my work in Sumter county, be-
lieve many new friends were made,
and the splendid vote given me on
yesterday, confirmed this view sub
stantially.
The result gives me extreme per-
sonal qualification, and renews nay
obligation to adhere at all times to
the class of service promised through
out the campaign.
I shall expect the cooperation and
counsel of good men when l come
to the responsibilities of the office.
Sincerely,
Sept. IL, 1918. JULIE FELTON,.

SENATOR HARDWICK SHOULD
RESIGN,

1t is the duty of Senator Rardwick
to resign at once-a duty that he owes
the state of Georgia.
He is thoroughly discredited before
the nation.
His opportunity for usefulness is
ended
He has been repudiated to such an
extent that he cannot do the state
even simple justice by continuing to
occupy his seat.
He does not represent the senti-
ments of the people of Georgia. His
ideas have been emphatically disap-
proved by more than two-thirds of
the voters. With stunning positive
ness, the people have spoken, telling
all the world that they are ashamed
of Senator Hardwick's record
Hardwick is entirely out of har-
mony with his state, as well as in
utter discord with the administration
at washington and with the Demo-
cratic party. Moreover he must rea-
lie that the people of Georgia do not
want him in Washington, and if he
has the manhood of which he has
boosted so much he will do the right
thing-he will resign at once He
says, in his farewell statement, that
he will neither whine nor whimper.'
Very we'll, then-let him take his med
icine like a man, and permit Governor
Dorsey to appoint his successor.

While we are at war, the United
| States has come to realize as never
before the imperative necessity for a
| complete unity of thought, under
standing the purpose throughout the
entire land. 1t would seem to &c
without saying that the chief instru-
ment by which this natural under
standing and purpose has been hap
PLY brought about has been free,
unhampered press under a national
policy and conditions which eneour-
age journalistic enterprise.
The growth of the national spirit
has been all too slow. Until a few
years ago many States and subdivi-
sions of States with sectional jeal-
ousies and preiudices erected and
maintained barriers to free inter
course. Licenses on commercial trav-
ellers, taxes upon goods from other
States and similar impediments ex-
listed which were finally swept away
BY the United States Supreme Court,
Our postal laws permitting the un-
restricted dissemination of news, edu-
cational, literary and advertising mat
ter from every section of the country
insured this ideal national unity of
understanding and purpose.
If the proposed system Of postal
zones and the discrimination between
readiig and advertising matter had
been in actual effect when the United
States was considering its entry into
the war, Congress could not have
been brought to act with decision,
and there would have been a posi-
bility of our having remained out of
the war.
Our preparations for the war could
not have been carried out without a
singleness of purpose and understand
ing which in turn could not have been
secured without a universal and free
exchange of ideas between all sections
of the country through the medium Of
an unfettered and unhampered press.
With the proposed measure in eff
feet Liberty Loans could not have
been foated except under increasing
difficulties With it in effect, as now
enacted, the successful promotion Of
new Liberty Loans will be made
harder
The circulating mediums of infor-
nation and public policy cannot be
strangled, hampered and oppressed
by unusual burdens and efficiently
perform their indispensable functions.
They cannot be atrophied without
paralyzing our national interchange
of thought and commerce.

SANTA FE ESTABLISHES CAMP
ING-OUT BUREAU.

There are some Far West trips,
such as the Rainbow Natural Bridge,
more than two hundred miles from
the railroad, that have been taken by
less than a hundred white people.
Theodore Roosevelt made the Bridge
trip in 1913, and Zane Grey went
later, to get material for one of his
most popular novels, THE Rainbow
Trail"
Every year great number of busy
business men, as we'll as those who
love the out-of-doors, are making
trips in the southwest off the beaten
path. They climb mountain peaks; !;
they descend canyon trails; they
cross painted deserts; visit prehisto-
ric cliff ruins and see Indian pueblos.
They really rough it in camp-out de
luxe.
The great difficulty has been to get
first hand and reliable information
as to trips, time consumed, distances
and cost, and to get in touch with
dependable outf1tters and guides.
The Santa Fe has established, in its
advertising department, Chicago, a
Camping Out Bureau to help the
tenderfoot in arranging trips by pack
and saddle animal team or auto
away from the railroad. Mr. G.. j..
BirchfieId, manager of the bureau,
has covered New Mexico, Arizona and
California most thoroughly He not
only knows the country, but knows
personally most all the men who will
outfit and guide parties.

EMBLEM OF MERCY.

The Red Cross is an emblem typi-
flying human mercy and sympathy.
Its mission to relieve physical pain
and minister TO mind and body has
given it q place deep in the hearts of
all our people For those whose dear
ones are in places Of great danger it
is a comfort to know that the Ameri-
can Red Cross is performing more
effective service on a large scale than
ever before
In addition to serving our enlisted
forces, it is assisting in the work OF
civil relief among our allies whose
soil is being devastated by the fight
ing.
The Red Cross is helping to
interpret the contructive spirit OF our
republic which holds sacred human
life and the ideals it seeks
AS time goes on the scope OF the
work of the Red Cross in Europe
will increase in order that the organ
ization may meet the demands that
will be made upon it. 1t must re-
ceive the full and hearty support of
the American people. 1t is only
through such an agency that we can
be assured relief and necessary min
istration to our young men forming
our military force.
1t is my sincere desire that ade-
quate funds will be secured for the
work of the Red Cross.

CAUSE FOR QUALIFICATION.

Proposed silver legislation was
looked forward to in eager anticipa-
ton, and it's passage is gratifying in
deed to those individuals who long
cnampioned the cause. 1t means that
the gold supply Of the Z. S. will be
conserved; it will permit settlement
in silver of trade balances adverse to
the U. S.; it will result in greatly in
creased activity in silver mining,
which means that many new mining
districts will be discovered it means
great prosperity for the west.
