THE WAR SITUATION (AS SEEN BY FRANK CARW1LE) I promised friend Greene I would write an article for his paper and I shall endeavor to fulfill the promise. *" " -Ll -1 my iauiei uiwa^s |>UIU uic w very few promises but be sure to fulfill those that I did make. I remember an old gentleman, Mr. Moses L. Ashley, whom the Lord in His wisdom permitted him to live 93 years , if I remember correctly, and so far as I know he never broke a promise, and if he went to help you do a days work h6 was 30 minutes ahead of any one and his word was his bond and he had the confidence of everyone for he could be relied upon to do what he said on all occasions. Mr. j Henry B. Bowie, the grandfather of j Editor Greene, I am told, was a man j very much like Mr. Ashley and was one of the best men of his day and generation, and lived an upright life in the sight of his God and fellow- J men. I do not suppose his honesty and integrity were ever questioned! in the least. I doubt very much if j we of the present generation measure up to our parents and grandparents in honesty and integrity. The parents of the Editor know something of the hardships of life' for their road has not always been I clear of stumps and stones. They have done well by their children and nave given tnem oppurcumtica anu prepared them to fight life's battles by educating them and in doing so have madi; many sacrifices. The Editor and myself were boys together and used to go to picnics and make fried chicken move and I haven't forgotten the art yet and I do not suppose he has. He waged his way to the top of his profession but I'm still plowing "Old Beck," and depend on l;he good Lord to send the early and the late rain. I shall always hava my opinions and convictions and shall hit square from the shoulder and call a spade a spade. I believe there is a God who sits on His throne in Heaven and deals out justice to every one and one day, if we are true to our duties He will give us a home in that land where day prevails and where there is no night, for God is the light of the city. I believe in the doctrine of predestination as recorded in Rom. 8:29-9-10-11 and Eph. 1:5, and; what God intends to be will be. This' terrible war now being waged across; the water did not bob up all at once j but was predestined long before the men who are fighting its battles were | born. We are not all going to die "on, flowery beds of ease, while others fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas." If a man is born to be president he will be and we are free agents and work out our own destiny. Joshua said unto the people, "choose you this day whom you will serve", and Elijah came to the people at Carmel and said, how long halt ye between two opinions if the Lord be God follow him: but if Baal then follow him." So it is very clear to all of us that we work out our own salvation and that we have a hell to shun and a heaven to gain. I shall fight the devil and all his works j with all the energy of my soul and, shall stand for all that is pure and! upright and that which tends to the uplifting of humanity and fight everything that degrades it. In these troubluous times the standard of! Jehovah needs to be lifted up and! not torn down. The war across the Atlantic is the' greatest one this world has ever | Known, oome tning- lme twenty nations are now engaged in the fearful destruction of humanity and there is no telling how many more will be in the conflict .before it is over for the end seems a long way off. Burton Smith, a London Editor, said in a speech in Atlanta a few days ago that it would last from 5 to 20 years and the United States needed to get her men and money in it at once ifj we expected to shorten it. About i the 1st of August, 1914, an Emperor! by the name of Kaiser Wilhelm, who' claimed that he alone had the divine I right to rule and under his rule Ger-| many had been preparing for war in every way possible for 40 years or more. The first thing he did was to! run over and crush poor little Belgium in a most brutal manner, for) he spared neither infant nor suck-1 ling to accomplish his bloody pur-! pose. He treated the treaties he had! made as mere scraps of paper andi set out to rule with a rod of iron. He! has destroyed 16 hundred villages in I France and has slain the poor women; and children of that noble country' as we would so many mad dogs and they are givinng us the Macedonian cry, come over and help us. It has come home to many of us and is coming to many more before very long and many of our sons will die from disease or be slain in battle and there is going to 'be much weeping and shedding of many tears! before it closes, or at least I! fear there is going to be. We are going to be humiliated as never before for as a nation we have forgotten God and wandered far away from what He commanded us to do, and He is calling a halt. When the children of Israel did as He told them they won every time but when they disobeyed, their enemies won and the nations that put their trust in Him will win this great war and you may rest assured of that fact. I have two sons out of three who have given their services and few of you can say that but before very long some of you are going to know how I have felt for the last six weeks for some of your sons are going to be j -Ci 3 / : An j_ araiu:u ior service, ah we can ao is to put our faith and trust in Him who aoeth all thingrs well and hope for the best. If it is the will of God I hope to live to see the day when Kaiser Wilhelm and the whole Hohenzollern monarchy torn into shreds and the city of Berlin reduced to ashes. This rotten monarchy threatens the destruction of our liberties and the pillars of our homes and the cornerstones of every house of worship and institution of learning in the United States and it would cut the throats of every man, woman and a child in America to accomplish its hellish ends. In her bigotness she made a war zone and denied us the right to travel on the ocean and sent many of our citizens to the bottom and who are today in a watery grave. We have just as much right to obstruct the public roads in front of our homes as she had to stop travel on the ocean. There is a passage in the bible which says, "Be sure your sins will find you out" and one day they are coming home to Germany and her rotten Hohenzollern monarchy. I am glad I am an old farmer, for T ?111 i I X Will nut UC VII an CAV1*1^/Viwu WWM4 V*. M I pity the poor fellows who are for they will get a whole lot of "cussin." We had a good rain and lots of I hail on the 26th of June, and I re- H called the time where it tells us H about Pharaoh and the ten plagues B which troubed the Egyptians. An old gentleman once told me H Pharaoh could not keep from sin- Q ning for God hardened his heart and the good book says He did. Many a fellow who didn't give a quarter to the Red Cross will "blow in" five dollars at Ringling Bros, circus or an old carnival this fall. Well if he isn't careful the devil will blow coals around him. i The House has passed the bill prohibiting foodstuffs being made into liquors during the war. There would have been much more peace in many homes if this had been done years ago. Whiskey is the arch enemy of mankind and the person who indulges in the use of it is liable to do anything that tends to evil. It has made enough orphans to belt this globe three times and has dug more graves than all the wars from Abxahom down to the present. May the time soon come when we will have nation-wide prohibition and the vile stuff hanished from this fair land of ours. Senator Ben Tillman said in an address at Sunny Slope on one occasion that we would have hogs as long as we naa corn?weii its awfully scarce in these parts. The town of Belton alone gave five thousand dollars to the Red Cross fund. About as much as Abbeville county. 'Tis a shame on our people. Anderson county gave over twenty-five thousand dollars, which speaks well of her citizens. If a fellow is separated from his wife he will not be excused from the draft law. Well he ought to know something about the horrois of war for no doubt he has been well trained and drilled. Some of these grass widows ought to go to keep these fellows company. If you are an early riser, And a German sympathizer, And love his wife Aunt Lizer Then go to the land of old Bill Kaiser. Frank Carwile. MAMMA! DON'T YOU SEE YOUR CHILD IS SICK, CONSTIPATED Look at Tongue! Move Poisons From Liver and Bowels at Once. Mother! Your child isn't naturally cross and peevish. See if tongue is coated; this is a sure sign its little stomach, liver and bowels need a cleansing at once. When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, does not eat, sleep or act naturally, has stomache-ache, diarrnoea, remember, a gentle liver and bowel cleansing' should always be the first treatment given. Nothing equals "California Syrup of Figs" for children's ills; give a teaspoonful, and in a few hours all the foul waste, sour bile and fermneting food which is clogged in the bowels passes out of the system, and you have a well and playful child again. All children love this harmess, delicious, "fruit laxative," and it never fails to effect a good "inside" cleansing. Directions for babies, children of all ages and grownups are painly on the bottle. Keep it handy in your house. A ntie given today saves a sick cnna m tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask E your druggist for a 50-ent bottle of H "California Syrup of Figs," then H look and see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Co."?Adv. M GIRLS!
