From Mr. T. W. Secrest,
of Osceola
To the Editor of The News:
I reckon I have the grip, ar?vway
1 am sick. Nevertheless, my mind Is
cnntinii'iltv nn tliR Enreonen war.
and its horrible destruction by death
and wounded and the starving thousands
of Belgians. It is all bad and
1 am very sorry o ask you to print
my views, but the war is to satisfy
the ambition of a few kings
and rulers for the sake of notoriety.
Death, hunger, sin and many
other complications too numerous to
mention, are all going on in Europe.
While America is not yet involved
in the bloody struggle of war,
we may be facing the next door
neighbor to war, in the way of a
famine. Yes, famines usually follow
wars or go hand in hand, as it
is doing in Europe now. In the
South money is our famine just now,
but who knows but that next year
will bring a bread famine, in fact
it is here now with a certain class of
people. In York county ami tuotig
the hail storm path that fell last
spring, farmers are offering two
bushels of half matured corn for one
bushels of good corn to make bread
I was rather amused at one of
our sons saying the other night
when we was taking a very rich bee
hive. He said last spring when I
would be hiving the bees as many as
two and three swarms would come
off and all go together before I
could hive them. He said they
would fight til! they killed nearly all
of them. Then the weather was dry j
and nothing for them to live on and !
the balance nearly all dead. Now
you see how rich this gum is. He j
said during and after this war, for i
at least a time, the people nearly all j
over the world may suffer by hunger j
and starvation. But who lives to
see it after that period will witness;
peace, prosperity and plenty. The
burns may he full and runnng over
like this ridi bee gum is now
Now some people will ' cranky am
tell you that Amerb >\ ;n never
witm a famine. It was said th

are too far away for us to take can

ui keep our provisions here in
America for the people who have
produced them. In this nieet'ng
screes of prominent people who were
most active in gathering funds for
the Belgians, have now turned their ,
attention to supplying the needs of
Americans.
There are thousands daily pouring
into the United States, and the
majority of them are the riff raff of
these old countries. We don't need
them, they must be fed and they
won't work and especially on the |
farm.
Now I notice that many of our :
papers advocate colonizing the Belgians.
Why if we had them here. j
just as soon as the war is ended they
will go back to their native country. '
They are like the Americans, who
Jove their country, devoted to their
native home and another reason we
don't need them, because they arc

out Germany did not expect tin
whole world to light her. No doubt
in my mind but that England wanted
a chance at her. and she thought
this would be the best one, so she
went to forming alliances with other
nations to crush Germany, and if
she is licked England will say "I
done it." As a nation, the Germans
are good people. Their religious
faith is mostly that of Martin
Luther, with some Catholics, like
America has.
Now, my opinion is if Germany,
with all the odds against her, has
one just man of God ,a leader like
Joshua of old, then Germany will
triumph, otherwise she will fall.

I It is doubtless true that th 1 news!
papers of the South, especially of

account of the war than anv other
business in the state. Yet one has
not heard of hardly a complaint
| about the hard luck which they have
had. and the consequent haru times
I they are experiencing Thee is
I hardly a newspaper in the slate that
' has not had to lay off part of its
j force, and nobody of men anywhere
1 are responding more nobly to ilie
increased demands upon their, is a
consequence than the newspaper
makers who have remained on the
job. One would hardly think that ,
a depleted staff and force could get
out the newspapers, as they are
nearly all up to their usual excellence,
yet it is true that the work
is being done by not more than twothirds
a regular force in many
j places.
The newspapers are "pocketing" ,
their losses and making the best
they caui of it. and that is what we
wish every other business man in
the country would do. and stop this
j infernal cry of hard times, and "I
do not know what in the world I
will do." Nobody is going to starve '
or go without the necessaries of life i
in this country, at least not for a >
while yet. Of course there is going I1
[to be a loss. The farmer and the|'
I business man are aliko going to |
j suffer loss, some more thnn others. I
1 What wo would liko to see just now j
! is for them to calculate just how
much their loss is. and get it over
! with, beginning to do about to rc- (
coup what is gone. No use to pine ,
about it and grieve over what can- | I
not be helped, but the proper spirit <
is to get busy and bring things io j j

price of the scholarship, allowing i
sufficient time for the student to '

the regular catalogue price is (barged
for each scholarship, which is a
few dollars higher than the cash
price. Where .'10, 60, or 90 day
notes are given, no difference in
1 price is charged. Many students

under this note plan, .and complete
their course, accept positions and

acres next year, including his
