Aiken, Aug. 7.?At a special meeting Monday night of the Aiken county Patriotic League, which is composed of nearly 200 of the leading citizens of Aiken and vicinity, and which has several- branch leagues throughout the county, an organization formed when the United States entered upon the world war. the speeches made by C. L. Blease at j Pom aria ami h iioert ana ine euuci ui I such expressions coming from a former governor and political leader were discussed and the tactics of .Mr. Blease denounced. The league adopted the following resolution, calling upon the federal' authorities to silence the anti-war I propaganda in South Carolina: i I "Whereas, the public safety is menaced and the war measures of I our government are discredited and discounted, and thereby aid and comfort is afforded the enemies of the United States by loose and disloyal if not seditious and treasonable talk freely indulged within the borders of our county and State; and "Whereas, in opposition to the selective draft, registered men are influenced to claim exemption by those who in public addresses delivered in South Carolina and in priva-te conversation denounce the president and the congress of the United States because the United States is embarked nnnn a war for human liberty and V*rv? ? for our own defense and rights, and those who discuss and urge that the constitutionality of the selective draft law be tested; and "Whereas, there is undoubtedly on foot in South Carolina an organized purpose and intent to poison the minds of the people against the participation of the United States in the war, to sap the loyalty of the people under unprincipled and unscrupulous leadership seeking political preferment and to that end striving treasonably to create dissatisfaction with the selective draft and to obscure and becloud the real meaning to the American people of this war, and "Whereas, the influence of such unlawful and disloyal leadership, spread broadcast throughout the Stat? by at least one newspaper in Charleston which has been avowedly) pro-German up to the time of the entrance of the United States into the war and which since then has distorted the facts in regard to the ' * - J PoaHnq' allies of tne inueu ot<ai,c?, otcmuc to dissatisfy the public with the conduct of the war and injecting partisan politics for the purpose of creating a situation which would be ambarrassing to loyal, patriotic and redblooded South Carolinians; and "Whereas, it is evident that the influence of this propaganda is telling in South Carolina and that dissatisfaction with the selective draft is increasing under the influence of person or person^ who are openly and brazenly denouncing the State and federal governments and who are looked to for leadership in this State by a large portion of our people, and "Whereas, we, as patriotic ami loyal American citizens and citizens of South Carolina, are moved to save our State from the unutterable shame of such consequences as may be expected to follow if the propaganga now being so vigorously pushed is allowed to go unchecked, and "Whereas, in ignorance, through prejudice, and blindly, many of our people are following such leadership and succumbing to such influence, we believe, to their own ruin, and are themselves encouraged to indulge in disloyal and unworthy language for the reason that the seditious and treasonable utterances of their lead ers are unchallenged by the state, i federal and military authorities and they are emboldened thereby; I "Now, therefore, be it resolved: "1. That we, the Aiken County Patriotic League, with malice to none, but moved by patriotic impulse and desire to avert threatening trouble and perhaps bloodshed, call upon the authorities of the State of South Carolina, the United States government and the war department to take such steps as may be necessary to immediately check this propaganda in South Carolina, whether by inndictment against leaders spreading sedition, disloyalty and dissatisfaction, by closing the mails to or suppression of publications which are the mouthpieces of such leaders, or by invoking any laws in force and effect which prohibit the furnishing of aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. "2. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the governor of South Carolina, the president of the United States, the Soutli Carolina ! State council of defense, the war department and the district attorney of the United States." ?Misses Mozelle Moore and Mary Tatum, of McColl, have returned home after spending seem time in the city with Mrs. Glenn Cope. "Mother Shinton's Phophecy." Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thought shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do. Now strange, yet shall he true. The world upside down shall he. And gold be found at the root of tree Through hills man shall ride, And 110 horse or ass at his side. I'nder water men shall walk: Shall ride, shall sleep, shall taik. In air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green. Iron in the water shall float As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found, and round In a land that's not now known. Fire and water shall wonders do. England shall at last admit a Jew. The world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one. The above remarkable prophecy, known as "Mother Shiptcn's Prophecy" is especially appropriate at this time when wonders which the ordinary man never dreamed of are coming to pass. , The poem predicts the submarine, j the wireless, the automobile, etc. It | was first published 14SS, and republished in 1641. All of the events predicted, except the last two lines, have come to pass.?Exchange. Very Foolish Husband. Mr. Babcock had just been telling his wife of an old friend. "And he said he knew me when I was a little girl?" interrogated the wife. "Xo," said Babcock, "he didn't say anything^of the sort." "But you just said he did," said Mrs. Babeock. "Xo," said the man, "I didn't." ".Why, Charles!" exclaimed the wife. "What did he say then?" "I said," replied the brute, "that he said he knew you when he was a little boy."?Life. It's the Sad Truth. "I need a lot of new things- this fall," began Mrs.' Wife. "We have to get a new rug for the dining room and some curtains for the living room. We need some new dishes, too. And, besides, I haven't a thing to wear. I've got to get a new evening dress and a street dress, and a couple of new hats, and I haven't a pair of shoes to my name, and?" Well what's the joke about this? you ask. \ Tt isn't any joke?that's all.?The Housekeeper. Too Much of a Good Thing. "Why not hire an efficiency expert to reorganize your office force?" "I tried that once," replied the business man. "Didn't the plan succeed?" "Only too well. Everybody quit but the efficiency expert, and I discharged him for fear he might try to re-organize me."?System. May Use Them Yet. "Gadsby has always wanted to live in a cottage by the sea. That's the dream of his life." "And I presume fate has doomed him to end his days in a flat?" "Yes. But Gadsby is an optimistic fellow. He still clings to the marine glasses he bought years ago."?Boston Herald. But You Might Die. A member of the Boston Arthur's Club sprung this joke the other day: i "There's one good thing about i buying an encyclopedia on the installI ment plan." "And what is that ?" "No matter how long it takes, you are pretty sure to have it paid for before you have read it through."? Life No Slouch. The men in the Pullman smoker were arguing as to who was the greatest inventor. One said Stephenson, who invented the locomotive and made fast travel possible. Another declared it was the man who invented the compass, which enabled men to navigate the seas. Another contended for Edison. Still another for the Wrights. Finally on'e of tkem turned to a little man who had remained silent. ? "? l. O" "wnom ao you uhuk: "Veil," he said with a hopeful smile, "the man who invented interest was no slouch."?Leslie's. Very I'rgent. An insurance man tells this one: "Not long ago there rushed into one of our offices in the South a very excited woman; so excited in fact, that she was out of breath and could speak only with difficulty.

At the funeral of Baron Lionel de Rothschild, father of the late Lord Rothschild, a poor old man wept loudly and bitterly. "Why are you crying?" inquired a bystander.

It was his first night on guard and, of course, John Smith was on his guard against officers and such like questioning him on his duties.

Says it Should l>e Used by Every Person Advancing in Age. "It Prolongs Life." The following statement, coming from a prominent city official of Salem, Va., bears weight in that it comes from one whose position demands the truth at all times. Read what he says: "I have tried Acid Iron Mineral and can highly recommend it as a constitution builder and general heaith restorer. I believe every person of advanced age slrould take Acid Iron Mineral, and it will prolong their life. I have also found it very valuable in stopping blood and healing sores," says Mr. F. G. Webber, chief of police and superintendent water works, Salem, Virginia. Men prominent in public life do not make a habit of praising medivjothor thpv condemn them. V/XilCOt JLbUV'AV* v? ?w And in that Acid Iron Mineral has proved so efficient as to win the praise of Chief Webber is indeed a triumph for this wonderful preparation of nature's. Acid Iron Moneral is not a patent medicine. The chemist has been unable to imitate or reproduce it. It is obtained from the only natural medicinal iron mineral deposit of its kind known to the world. For- creating appetite, increasing weight, purifying the blood, building up-weak, anaemic people, and restoring weak vital organs to normal it is of exceptional merit. Many doctors prescribe it.

Wrhat better proof of merits of this remedy could you demand, than the statement of a Bamberg resident who used is successfully and tells of lasting results. Read the following: E. Dickinson, jailor, Rice St., Bamberg, says: , "I was subject to severe backaches and niv kidneys did not act regularly. The kidney secretions were unnatural and irregular in passage.
