Now, 1 do not know what Mr. Stewards excuse for not buying bonds will be, but if he should plead poverty. would then suggest that he is not so poor but that he can spend several dollars in talking about my DEMERITS; and would suggest that he could have done just as I did in order t. buy the last two bonds 1 have. He Could Have Bor- rowed The Money. If he Really wanted to be so patriotic as he would have you believe he is.
 Now, in conclusion, will add that my re :ord. both as an official and as citizen. is public property. and invite any citizen who is interested to come at any time. and investigate it in order that he may know the TRUTH. And feel sure that if Mr. Stewart had taken the time and pains to investigate. he would never have spoken of my DEMERlTS; for there is a wide difference in merely telling things" and proving things. |" And as l have said before, if he will PROVE anything against me either as an official or as a private citizen, I'll quit the race and resign.

regret very much that the influenza epidemic has necessit- ated a ruling by the State Board of Health requiring that all public meetings must be prOhib- ited, thereby causing us to can eel the dates prevously announce ed by Mir. Crawford and myself.
 My opponent saw fit to charge me with having demerits in his first announcement (which appeared in both the Ozark papers. and that forced me to challenge him to meet me at the several places and times heretofore mentioned, in order that he might tell the people what these DEMERITS are. And when he saw that 1 intended to ''call his hand" and invited him to meet me, he pos- itively refused, not only to me personally, but through the pa- pers. Now, 1 have this to say to the people in regard to these DEMERITS my honorable oppo- nent has spoken of. If he will prove by any citizen that 1 have neglected my official duty in any way, I'll quit the race and resign. And, while 1 do not claim to be a perfect specimen, vet. if he will prove anything against my character as a private citizen since l have been in office, Pll quit the race.
 My opponent says he is as patriotic as he knows how to be. and has done and will do any. thing in his power to gain the victory for which our boys are giving their life and blood. That sounds good. Mir. Stewart, if it be true. but let us make a little investigation of the Record and see if you have ever bought even A Liberty Bond: I, myself. will not answer this question, but will publish the statements from four of our banks where MT. Stewart would certainly have bought bond IF HE HAD BOUGHT. The statements follow:

Paris, Dec. 22.-President Wilson
today visited the Red Cross hospital
at Nenilly, where he shook hands in
dividually and talked with twelve
hundred badly wounded Americans,
for the most part survivors Of the
Chateau-Thierry action. He spent
more than four hours in the hospital,
visiting every ward and stopping at
every bedside. Later he visited the
French hospital Val De Grace.
Speaking of his experiences at the
American hospital, the President
said:
81 went through the American hos
pital att Nenilly with the greatest
interest and the greatest satisfac-
ton. I found the men admirably
taken care Of and, almost without ex-
ception, in excellent spirits.
"Only q few Of them looked really
i'll, and think that their mothers

and friends would have been entirely
pleased by their surroundings and
by the alert look in their eyes and
the keen interest they took in every
thing about them.
'T am sure that they will 60 back
to their loved ones with a new feel
ing of Joy, alike in their recovery
and in the fine service they have
been able to render"
Going to the American hospital
with the expectation of remaining an
hour, the President found four hours
all too short, as he felt that he could
not leave without speaking to every
man, and he expressed regret only
of his inability to clasp the hands OF
every American soldier in France.
The President looked tired and
worn when the ordeal was finished,
for, Notwithstanding the cheerfulnesa
of the men and the care which they
were receiving, there were many at
fecting cases in the wards.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA
cHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY

Two dear little boys, one four
years old, the other eighteen months,
are waiting to fill long felt want in
somebody's home. Their mother has
just died of influenza followed by
pneumonia. Their father went away
some time ago and has never come
back or been heard from.
It is cases like this that The South
Carolina Children's Home Society is
awlays on the lookout for, and these
wo little chaps are now under the
care Of the society; but it is not fair
for two sweet little children like
these not to have a home Of their
own, and the society wants real
home and a real live daddy and
mother for them.
People in large numbers are adopt
ing the fatherless and motherless
children in France and Belgium. A
splendid work: we hope it will con-
tinue as long as there is need Of it,
but let US not forget the fatherless
and motherless Of America.
Write to Mrs. Julie M. Way, the
superintendent Of the society, at
80 Union Bank Building, Columbia,
S. c., and she will tell you about
these two boys or some other child
rem; for Of course it is possible that
some one might get ahead Of you
for these special two-and we want
hem to go together.
