Mother to Many French Riddles
No War Drive Has
Passed Without Her
Contribution.

That the mother country fingers
in the heart of every true French
man and woman is evidenced, once
more, by the splendid work which
has been done by Mrs. J. F. Krkpat-
rick of Columbus, Neb,, who was
born many years ago at Somaln, IN
the northern part of France.
For eleven months Mrs. Kirkpat-
rick has travelled up and down the
state, at her own expense, lecturing
in behalf of the French war orphans,
and she is directly responsible for
the adoption of approximately zoo
children and has sent between S700
and $500 to the fund through Max
Westerman.
But this isn't all Mr.. and Mrs.
Kirkpatrick are proud OF the fact
that not single war drive has
passed without their contribution,
and Mrs. Kirkpatrick is supporting
three orphans through her own Ell
forts.
The home of her family i'll France
was among the first of the villages
to be destroyed by the enemy in
vaders.
II confess" said Mrs. Kirkpatrick,
Il did not take the war to heart until
| heard of the atrocities committed
against my own people. | felt that
| owed France nothing was all
American citizen, and thought Of
the people on the other side in an

THIRD LIBERTY o A

When all the figures r in, it
will be found that subscriptions to
the Third Liberty Loan in Able
vile County have reached the one
hundred and e%ighty-fve thousand
dollar mark, a result entirely salts
fying to those who have worked so
hard to make the loan a success in
this county. The result should be
gratifying to the people of the coun-
ty generally.
Figures will not be completed for
the state and country at large be-
fore the early part of next week,
but it will be found when the final
count is made that nor people
have subscribed to this loan than to
any previous loan for that reason.
The farmers and working pepole in
Abbeville county, and elsewhere,
have realized that this is the peo-
pies war, and they r responding
to the country's call for help. In
the West, where the people in the
last Presidential election were so
strong for staying out of the war,
the people have responded more
freely and more promptly than in
any other part of the country.
1t takes some time for the people
to get a full realization of all that
is going on, but the people know
the truth when once they see it, and
they are to be depended on to
support the truth.

SWEET POTATO -.
PLANT OUTLOOK

Replies to a circular letter sent to
about $50 warehousemen, shippers,
and plant growers throughout the
Southern States reveal a general
shortage of seed sweet potatoes in
that section caused principally by
the severe freeze which damaged
practically. all potatoes that were
stored in ''hills" CT "banks." Large
quantities of potatoes that appear
to be sound arc of doubtful quality
and unfit for seed, and it is feared
that they will rot when bedded for
plants,
Plant growers in every section
who were prepared to cure and store
their seed potatoes properly will be
able to produce a normal supply of
plants; others are making an effort
to conserve the available supply of
seed for bedding, while several are
making preparations to plant a
large acreage from first drawing of
plants so as to be able to furnish
large quantities of vine cuttings for
later paintings, The demand for
plants is reported to be above nor
nal, and the production of vine cut
tings to supplement the supply of
plants will enable plant growers
more nearly to meet the require
ments of growers and truckers.-U.

FRACTIONAL POLITICS.

In some places over the state it
seems that the politicians were
busy on last Saturday, but for the
most part the people of the state
seem to have assembled and to have
laid aside fractional politics in an
endeavor to get men true to the
country as delegates to the county
conventions.
As the election season draws near
it becomes more evident that the
old f~actional lines will be for a
great part forgotten and that men
will be measured this year by the

1t will grow dark twice in one
day on June 8 in parts OF the Unit
ed States.
On that day, in a broad band
from Seattle, Wash, to Jacksonville
Fla, before sunset a gigantic sha'
dow will literally wipe the sun out
of the sky for an instant.
The total eclipse of the sun in
June will cover the greatest path in
the United States since 1865, and
will present the greatest oppor-
tunity for observation of any eclipse
the country has ever seen. Besides
it's popular interest the time of an
eclipse is of deep scientific value.
Because of the intense light from
the sun, certain of its outer layers
can only be studied at the time
when the disc of the moo hides all
hut the outer layers of the sun.
The full shadow cast by the moon
coming between the earth and the
sun will strike the United States at
the mouth of the Columbia river, in
the State of Washington. Thence il
will swing southeast across the I'm
tied States in a gigantic curve.

ABOLISH IT.

The county to county speaking
tour has served it's purpose, If II
ever had any purpose other than
furnishing an opportunity for poll
ticians to stir up ~dissentions among
the people by which dissentions the
politicians hoped to profit personal
". Whatever may at n time nave
hean said in defense of these JOINT
debates between candidates 0 Of
fee. everyon who acknowledges
the truth will say that OF late
wears they have grown to be meet
inps where the candidates, or some
Of them, engage in all kinds OF
personalities and m~ud-slinging'. and
when the last thing thought of, if
It is ever thought of, is the correct
administration Of affairs IN 'he
state.
It is therefore refreshing to see
that people in different parts OF 1ne
State are demanding that these
campaigns be- discontinued Al
though there has been no aglta1lon
on the subject over the state' we
notice from the papers that mere
and there the people in the ciuo
meetings on Saturday have by pro-
ner resolutions demanded that these
campaign meetings be discontinued
The people no doubt reason 1ha'
the old excuse that they are cam
na;qns of education which the peo-
nle NAV attend and learn Of the Is
sues of the day, and be enabled to
vote on election day intelligently'
has been shown not to be true. The
meetings are anything but educa-
tional.
We infinitely prefer the methods
followed in Georgia. In that state
each candidate makes his W cam
paign, fixing the day when he is to
appear in the different communi-
ties to discuss the issues engaging
the attention of the people. Here
tofore, they have always discussed
issues in a digniied way, and the
people have been more enlightened,
we dare think, by the campaign
speeches in Georgia than by those
in South Carolina. We are sorry
to see that in the Senatorial race
in Georgia the candidates are pn-
dertaking to arrange joint meetings
for the discussion of issues. We
predict now that these meetings
will develop into the mud-slinging
contests so common in South Caro-
lima.
In this year of the war when the
minds and thoughts of the people
should be on the men at the front
and when men should consider only
the needs and demands of the gov
eminent for the proper prosecution
of the war, it seems to us that it
will be most inappropriate to have
the people stirred up over the GUAR,
rels of politicians seeking office.
and the animosities which are Ger.
tain to be aroused. It would be fal
better we think that each candidate
2 for Office make his own campaign
according to his w ideas Of whar
is proper and best for the people a
this time.

Don't Sacrifice Food for Cotton.

Admonishing farmers against assuming that
the rigorous weather of recent months has exter-
minated the boil weevil, the National Department
of Agriculture points out what pity it would be
for anyone, acting on that erroneous idea, to in
crease his cotton acreage at the expense of food
crops. Such a farmer. the Department truly de-
clares, not only would fail in his patriotic duty
but also would suffer heavy financial loss in conse-
quence of stalking his fortunes on crop which the
boil weevil is certain to attack. The low tenn
peratures of January doubtless reduced the weevil
some parts of the South, but there is no ground
for believing that there approach to
determination over any considerable area. The
Cotton Belt as a whole may expect its old enemy
this year in ranks diminished but slightly if at ALL
so that the farmer who plants more cotton than
can be fastened to maturity under boil weevl con-
ditions will be taking an extremely foolish and ex-
tremely dangerous risk
The Triton Gazette quotes farmer of its ter
ritory as saying: 1--WE have been two years recov-
ering from the boil weevil invasion which caught
us unprepared, but our lands are worth more
than they were ever worth and making
more money growing peanuts and selling hogs
than we ever dreamed of making raising cotton"
Thousands of planters throughout Georgia and the
South can bear witness to that experience.
The present prosperity of this region is due less,
indeed to the high prices of cotton than to the
vastly improved system of agriculture which our
enforced departure from the all-cotton plan has
brought about. What a calamitous, what really
tragical thing would be if at the very time when
our country's need for food crops war sinew Is
so imperative. we should return to the folly OF
planting cotton to the exclusion of food. No fore
sighted and patriotic farmer will fall into that
error and that wrong.
