FOll POLAND'S FREEDOM
While the attention of the world ia
riveted upon the occurences of the
war, there are occasionally momenta
when we think of the possibility of
the liberation and the liberties of
certain peonies. Belgium, Luxem
bourg, Switzerland, have managed to
keep out of the maw of the greedy em
pires and pre yet independent coun
tries. What will become of them?
Is Mars forging chains and fetters for
a now freed people and is Vulcan
preparing u bed of Iron for them to
lay their ?-cary bones upon?
And what shall become of Poland?
That ls one country, like Ireland, that
has ever appeuled lo Ibo sentimental
instinct of the people of the United
States.
Poland wan the native land of Kos
ciusko and Pulaski; two splendid
soldiers who helped the United States
to achieve her independence. Kosciu
sko attracted the atctntion of George
Washington and he became a brig
adier generul of engineers in the Uni
ted States army. On his return to
Poland, he became in 1794 general
in command of the Polish army which
was trying to free itself from Russin.
Ile won several victories, but finally
was wounded and his cause failed.
He remained in prison for two years,
and was then liberated, but he never
again was permitted to see ht s be
loved Poland. After his death his bo
dy was returned in atate to Poland,
and his memory waa honored by the
emperor of Russia.
The Count Casimir Pulaski was ex
iled In 1872 and became commander of
the cavalry of the United States army
in the South in the War of the R?vo
lution. In the siege of Savannah he
was killed, and in that beautiful city
today there are streets and parks and
other places bearing the name of this
gallant patriot who shed Iiis blood in
the name o' liberty.
Poland lost her Independence about
the time that the United States was
gaining hera, and thia once proud and
wealthy kingdom was partitioned
among the greedy nations surrounding
-Austria, Germany and Russia. The
Kingdom of Poland la but a name.
The autonomic inatitutlons have been
awept away and the country lins been
Russified In language, laws and edu
cation.
Poland Is a country of great culture.
Among Its universities are Cracow,
one of the oldest and moat historic in
the world; Poaen and Warsaw. The
libraries of the world certain few
greater works than "Quo Vadis."
written by the eminent novellat Slen
kiewicz, who was taken prisoner by
tho Russians a few days ago.
There have been many great philos
ophers among the Foies and the helio
centric theory of the solar system waa
discovered by a Pole-Nicholas Co
pernlcua. Josephus Strua, a Poliah sci- ?
entlst of the 16th century was the i
greatest authority on the circulation 1
of the blood and Madame Cure, the
diacoverer of radium la today one of j
the greateat of living Poliah people, i
Poland has given to art. Wit Stwoaz, 1
the Michael Angelo of that race; Fry- '
deryk Chopin, Henryk Wieniawakl, lg- ,
nace Jan Paderwlaki and Josef Hoff- ?
man, all great in the world of music, 1
and Helen Modjewaka, the greatest 1
Shakespearean actress.
The civilization ot Po'and is of a
hlgho rder of the nation . not yet :
atolen by predatory powers, there are 1
10,000,000 Inhabitants. These , peo- |
pie wish to be free.
The outcome of this war will mean ?
the freedom of Poland or a serfdom
more abject, but the signa of the
times are that absolute monarchies ,
are riding to a fall and that ennstitu- ,
tlonal monarchies or democracies msy
make up the new map of Europe.
OSE SORE COTTOK
"We would produce 1,300 bales of
staple cotton to produce all the yard
age needed for the producta of our
milla if cotton cloth could be used ex
clusively. If one feed mill consumes
that quantity, you can easily under
stand the effect if ail mills, bag fac
tories an consumers will give the
question proper attention." Thus
writes the ti. C. Peters Mill Compa
ny, of Omaha, Nebraska. This com
pany realizing the necessity of th?
South, has msde war on Jute and
burlar end not only will uso nothing
but cotton bags but is writing to th?
other manufacturers and millers in
all parts of the United States snd is
urging them to do the same thing.
The South needs a horns market
for cotton producto as Europe is cut
off and South America hss no money.
Millions ot pounds ot cotton might be
manufactur? ! into 40 Inch goods, to
contain feed, ?agar, salt, coffee, rice,
beans and other such art Idea of mer-j
chandlae.
At present they ara shipped in bur
lap bags made ut Jut?, shipped from
Indi?. A*. pre?*nt ?bina cannot bring
th? jute to auch ?norm?os yardage
aa ls needed and thia opens np a field
for a suitable substituto for Jato.
UK WAS NOT EMPLOYED
In Justice to S. M. McAdams, this
pupcr wishes to say that he was not
employed to solicit subscriptions, or
to do any work for The Intelligencer.
Whatever work he may or may not
have done, was to assist a member of
his family to get a prize. Ile was ac
cused of trying to get persons to stop
taking other papers. We have heard
that this was not proved.
McAdams' work for this paper was
Infinitesmal compared with the work
done by some public officials for the
newspaper that started the tight on
MeAdums. An employe of the United
States government ami one official of
this city have for months done a large
part of the reportorial and editorial
work for the only other paper in the
city. The Intelligencer pays tuxes
and its stockholders pay taxes and yet
we have not made complaint that we
are contributing la part to the em
ployment of help for our local contem
porary, an advantage which we do not
enjoy.
DEATH OF JOHN KS KFW
Anderson county has lost one of her
best mien. The death of John Eskew
removes a citizen who was a credit
to his state. Honest, modest and un
assertive, he was yet one of the ster
ling characters that make a siaic
great. He will be missed more and
more in the years to come, but he baa
left behind a clear record and an ex
ample of thrift, progress and spotless
character.
A GOOD SUGGESTION
Feaster Vandlver Tribble was a val
uable citizen. He was always doing
something for Anderson, and he had in
view some big things for the T. P. A.
to do this winter.
Illa sudden, death was such a shock
that the community does not even yet
realize that he is gone. We have
heard it said that the local post of
the T. P. A. should and probably
will do something to show its love for
the man who made this post known
throughout the United States.
BOSE" CREWS
TO GO TO JAIL
Unless He Pargee Himself of the
Ccarge of Contempt of
Court
Laurens, Sept. 1?-Just before court
adjourned Saturday, Soliciter K. A.
Cooper called up the contempt case
pending against W. T. Crews, magis
trate of Laurens township. The so
licitor reviewed the case, dtlng the
fact that a rule to show why the mag
istrate should not be held for con
tempt of court because of his alleged
failure to make an accounting of his
books to the county authorities was
Issued last March. A return to Ahe
rule was made, and Crews was grant
ed an extension of time until thia
term of court.
The presentment of the case by the
grand jury at this court showed a
shortage In Gie office cf accounts of
about $570. Council for the magis
trate made an oral statement and wa
ved the presence of the officer in court
?Thereupon the judge adjudged Gie
magistrate in cont < mpt and sentenced
him to six months in Jail, sentence
turnover, being suspended 20 days tn
arder to allow him to settle the. short
age.*
Crews ls a son of the late Col. T.
B. Crews and was appointed magis
trate under the present administra
tion. He has always been a parti
san in politics, and,two years ago he
started at Greenwood a political pa
per known aa Gie News-Scimitar. It
lasted through the political cam
paign and was bitter against Judge
Ira B. Jopes. Crews was at one
time a beer dispenser in Laurens

You realize that comfort in cloth
es is mental as well as physical;
if you don't feel right in the
clothes they don't feel right on
The only way to get comfort hi
clothes is to get clothes that are
made for comfort.
The right style, the correct fit,
the right quality create comfort.
That's the kind of clothes we have
for you.
Pay say $20 for one of our fall
