German Soldiers Desert.

That some Germans r tired as
individuals of the war, especially
German soldiers, is evidenced by
their a~lertness for an opportunity
to leave the confines of the Kaiser's
dominion. In order to prevent SOL
diers who are on furlough from leav-
ing Germany and getting beyond
reach of German authority three
barbed fences, one of which is charg-
ed with electricity, have been erect
ed along the border between Germa-
ny and Switzerland. But the eager
ness to be relieved of further service
in the army impels a large number
of soldiers to go cover the top" of
these c~rucifying barriers. German
hunger in the rear and American fire
in the front is proving too much for
the Huns.

ADOPT a French Orphan.

One of the most distressing re-
suits of the war in France is the hum
dreds of thousands of children that
are left homeless, fatherless, and ma
nv of them motherless. Owing to the
great drain the war has been upon
France for the past four years and
the heavy expense incident to its
continued prosecution, caring for
these unfortunate children has be-
come one of the great war problems.
Even in ordinary times with nearly a
million orphans left to be cared Tor
in less than four years, it would be
an undertaking of no mean proper
lions and it is made ten-fold more
difficult with wal continuing with
increasing fury.
In order to bear their proportion
of the burdens incident to the war,
HUNDREDS and thousands of American
citizens are adopting" a French or
phan. By this form of adoption they
merely agree to undertake the sup
port of an orphan, the amount neces-
sary to meet this requirement being
S36.5O per annum. A number of be-
nevolent and patriotic organizations
especially among women, are like
wise adopting French orphans. In the
Advertiser of last week appeared a
letter from the mother of a little
French orphan who has been adopt
ed by the ladies who compose the
Edgefeld chapter, D. A. r. Through
a committee in New York an effort
is being made to have 10000 French
orphans adopted by liberty-loving
friends of France in America.
Would not some people in Edge
field county like to have a part IN
this very commendable undertaking!

Must Enroll to Vote.

Every citizen who stands for good
government, law and order desires
to see an honest, interrupted ballot.
In fact, a Democratic form of gov
eminent, that which is now being
held aloft to the world as approach
ing the ideal form of government,
is a miserable failure unless the bal
lot is safeguarded from fraud and
corruption.
In South Carolina the primary
election is protected by having each
voter enroll or register in person. 1t
behooves every citizen to see, as far
as the circle of his influence extends,
that every citizen registers for the
primary election, which is to be held
this year on August 27.
If YOU have not already registered,
60 at once to the place of enrolment
provided for your club and register.
After you have done that do not stop
there. Urge your neighbors and
friends to register. Procrastinatlon
may deprive them of the right Of
suffrage. Registration is made as con-
venient as possible for everybody and
ample time is given in which to en-
roll. Therefore, if through failure to
register, a mar is deprived of voting
no II can be blamed except himself.

There is no bigger problem than
that which the woman worker has

her worries are greater than ever.
Though weaker and more liable to
illness than men, these women

Doctors For Prohibition

The speech made by DR.. Arthur
Dean Bevan on the occasion of install
lation as president of the American
Medical Association at its recent
convention was a speech in favor of
national prohibition.
"There can be no doubt" said DR..
Bevan, "that the greatest single fac
tor we can control in the interest of
the public health of the nation would
be the elimination of alcoholic drink.
I want to plead for the united action
of the organized medical profession
of the country to cur protection
by law against the injury that drink
is doing our people, not as a political
measure but as the most important
public health measure that could be
secured" He also said that for the
prosecution of the war 1--WE must
organize the entire nation in the most
efficient way possible, and this cannot
be done without eliminating drink"
One by one the big constructive
forces of the nation line up On the
non-alcoholic side of the question.
The only big force left seems to be
that of the men who make and sell
the alcoholic beverages. And as the
manufacturers turn to the production
of soft drinks, or of alcohol for in
dustrial purposes, or of any of the
numerous allied products for which
there is a great and wholesome de-
mand, they find themselves faring
quite as prosperousy as in the good
old days.
1t is not without great significance
that the American Medical Associa-
ton stands so strongly for dryness.
In time even the brewers and distill-
ers may join them.-Greenville Pied
