The work of the Kearse auxiliary
has made very auspicious beginning
under the management of the local
committee. They did not wait for
the 2Oth but bright and early Sun
day morning found them ready and
eager for the Red Cross drive.
The work on yesterday was con-
fined chiefly to the colored churches,
two of which were visited. On yes
terday morning one committee was
sent out to Macedonia, and last night
another at Rizer's chapel, and let me
say just here that it was inspiring
to us to see the patriotic loyalty of
these people and could their sons,
already in France, have seen the way
they responded to the call for money,
they too would be inspired to do bet
ter work for the good old U. S. A,
knowing that they are backed by the
people of their own color as well as
the whites. And you will agree with
me when l say that at Macedonia, the
general collection of subscriptions
and cash amounted to S111.40, with
S110.95 to the credit Of their church,
the other divided between visiting
members of Three Mile Creek and
Ebenezer, the first subscribing $40,
and the latter S. At Rizer's chapel
the subscriptions and cash amounted
to 1921. We have arranged for meet
ings at Ebenezer tomorrow evening
and Three Mile Creek on next Sun
day evening. Will also canvass
Kearses Chapel one evening as soon
as We can secure a speaker We are
leaving our own members for the last
as we know they are going to do their
bit.
1t is with much pleasure that
make this report and in the next
weeks issue I hope to make report
that will help to carry old Bamberg
county over the top with a wide mar
gin.
May God bless everyone in their
good work.
With hopes of a great success,
am very sincerely,
MRS. H. A. kEARSE,
Chairman Publicity Committee.

Young Man Arrested.

Just after midnight Tuesday night
Sheriff R. Fulton Dukes and Deputy
J. w. Gillian left Orangeburg for the
State penitentiary in Columbia, car
rying with them Norman H. Bolivar,
a young married man of this city,
who had been arrested upon war
rant charging him with having at
tackled the little nine-year old white
girl near the city on Monday morn
ing.
The news spread over the city
Wednesday and came as great
twenty-six years of age, and has fam
shock and surprise to local citizens.
The accused young man is about
lily connections with many worthy
and estimable people of this COM
munity. He has been married sever
al years, and his wife is lady Of
accomplishment and refinement. The
friends of the young man are un-
able to believe that the charge can be
true, and are hoping that he can be
cleared conclusively within the near
future.
The chain of circumstances is very
bad for the young man, however, and
the evidence accumulated against
him by the county officials seems
to point with certainty. When the
sheriff and other county officials Wis
tied the scene Monday they noticed
that the automobile had two differ
ent tires on the left side, and Tues
day an automobile with such tires
was found belonging to a relative
of the accused, and it was also learn
ed that he had been seen in this car
early Monday morning.
The most damaging fact, however,
is the testimony of Mr.. L. c. Hughes,
a farmer of this city, who owns and
operates two farms near the city,
In going between them Monday
morning he passed Boliver and the
little girls, just is they were get
ting back in the automobile. He
thought nothing of it until Tuesday
late when he read the story of the
attempt in the paper, and then phon-
ed the sheriff. This fact fitted in
exactly with the automobile tire
clue, and late in the night the young
man was taken to Columbia.
The crime has created a very
marked impression upon the citizens,
and all have been shocked to learn
of it's occurrence. The family of the
accused young man have many
friends who deeply regret the pres
ent position he finds himself in, and
they still hope that he will be able
to clear himself of the ugly charge
now lodged against him.-Orange-
burg Times and Democrat.

day night by Rev. George P. White.
A wave of intense enthusiasm was
manifested when the gallant French
man. who has seen actual service in
France, arose to face the immense
crowd. The captain is a highly edu-
Gated and cultured gentleman, and
his command of the English language
was splendid.
Capt. Pierrett told of the work OF
the Red Cross in devastated France
in a most convincing manner, and OF
Frances debt of gratitude to the
American \Red Cross. In captured
territory, said the captain, all boys
over II and men under sixty and all
women between the ages Of Is and
Is were taken by the Grmans and de-
ported for work in Germany, leaving
nothing at home but the young boys
and old men. It is part of the
work of the Red Cross to care for
these poor people, who have no means
of making a livelihood. AS soon as
possible, the Red Cross started to
build houses for these people, whose
homes had been burned, their pos
sessions taken and even their wells
poisoned. He related an incident
where the inhabitants of ten French
villages had been driven into one
village. The other nine had been
completely burned. The American
Red Cross had helped to care for
these people.
The work of the Red Cross on the
battlefelds was told in a graphic
manner. The Red Cross also took
over numerous hospitals near the
front. AS to this, Capt. Pierrett
front, and maintained canteens in
the rear of the battlefront. AS to this,
Capt. Pierrett said, he could
only repeat what he had heard,
for he had never been that
far from the front. He did
know, however, of the work of the
Red Cross ambulances at Verdun
and other battles, which went forth
every night to collect the wounded.
An important part Of Red
Cross activity, he said, was to as
certain whether those reported miss
ing were killed, wounded or cap
tured prisoner, and in this they did a
great mission of mercy in allying the
suspense of the families of SOL
diers.
The French people, said the cap
tain, have great confidence in the
American Red Cross, which is in
position to render much better ser
vice on account of the close relation
ship between the French and Ameri-
cans. than the Red Cross of any other
country. He wanted to correct the
impression, however, that the Red
Cross has maintained the morale of
the French people. The flash of
love of his home was seen in the
eyes of the Frenchman as he said

degree, the worst of barbarism pre-
walls. GAS to whether this con-
dition is to mar the civilization Of
the whole world is question that is
now at stake, and which America will
be called on to solve. The action of
the people in answering such calls as
those of the Red Cross will deter
mine the result" The trouble with
Germany was, he said, that they took
the religion of Luther, but left Luther
and Jesus Christ out of it.
An interesting thing was noted by
the speaker, which will be new to
most people: The combination of the
Northern blue, and the Confederate
grey, and the red of the American
flag make the khaki of the army
today-a united people.
The gratitude of our people to
France was recounted and the people
were reminded of the fact that dur
ing our revolutionary war a German
king sat upon the throne of England.
Our own revolution won freedom not
only for ourselves but for England as
we'll. for with the demise of the king
of England at the time ended the
autocratic kings of Britain, and since
then England has been the most de-
mocratic country in the world.
When defeat stared us in the face,
France, with her men and million
dollars, came to our rescue. Not a
cent of that debt has been paid, not
even the interest, but we are now
going to pay that debt; as Pershing
said on his arrival in France:
'LaFayette, we are here"
''Salvation can come only through
sacrifice and suffering" said Mr..
Mcleod. Jesus paid the price on the
cross in suffering. This war will be
won, but it will be won through our

bought bonds literally, and We have
bought war saving stamps. That is
all right. But it incurred no sacri-
flee to do it. We we're merely buying
gilt-edge securities. We are now call
ed upon to give, in order that suffer
ing and dying soldiers may have the
soothing touch of a woman's hand in
| their last hours" Give until it
| pinches, until it hurts, he pleaded.
"You don't have to hide in the
swamp to be Stacker. Just hoard
up your wealth, refuse to give to the
Red Cross and other worthy objects.
Some day YOU will be either proud or
ashamed of what you did during this
crisis"
The speaker concluded by saying:
There is no use to be optimistic
about this thing. We are in the
midst of the darkest hour of the
darkest day in the darkest century in
the history of the world

THE l. w. w. IDEA.
tFrom the Boston Herald.)

Whatever may think of the Boshevki they must
 least ne given credit for having presented to the world during the last few weeks clear demonstration in which the doctrines of the l. w. w., as we have often heard them expounded in this country log icaly applied in actual practice Tine de- ine of inter- national honor is eXempifed by repudia~i llhe onal debt The principle that the of the people practice by preventing the peoples presentatves from meeting in constituent assembly and by intimdatng them al the point of the bayonet The ofrepeated
 on that the social revolution stands for justice liberty and fraternity becomes the justification for & ghasy carnival of massacre and pillage demoralized and broken nation unable either to wage war or to make peace unable to prevent anarchy and starvation within the confines of it's capital land false to allies and despised by it's enemiesthat is the situation in which Russia finds herself after few months according to the tenes of the BarkmanHay- Wood-Godman propaganda.
 Surely this sorry spectacle the hideous details of which have not yet been published the world, should afford timely warning to those social workers philan- Humanitarian tendencies have sometimes led them more than distinct sympathy with the professed ideals o an organization which aims at social revolution in America.

FIGHTING SPIRIT GONE.

There is hardly any time these days zathlnk or talk about anything except war. in t1e kit chen n the office on the streets, in the knitting room. we think and talk of war. The people s minds are centered on this one subject and as Germany has caused it and is the sea of this gigantic murder trial. everything that happens there is of widest interest.
 The great revolt predicted in Germany and Austria against military dictatorship, has ap- parentlv arrived. Death, hunger, privation and the lost hope of ever winning the war have seem- inclv caused the masses not to really revolt in the sense of taking up arms against their govern- ment, but to just otht; particularly in Austria Hungary They are tired of it all. The most humble home has lost one or more of the mem- bers Of it's family it is said, Whiie not one of the six sons of the kaiser has ever had a scratch or even been in danger.
 There is an old saying that Germans head and hide are thick and the fact that it has taken three years and half to pound little sense in their cocoanuts, seems to prove the truth of the assertion. The Germans themselves are hardly in position to deny it. The iron military heel of the kaiser may drive them back to work and in the trenches for while, but the finish of the war machine organization in Germany and Aus tria is clearly in sight. The fighting spirit of the masses is gone
