Wednesday, September 19 Back to books, boys! Bread as well as bullets is needed to win the war. Anything in your garden to eat? better begin to prepare for winter. Twenty-cents cotton will enable a good many folk to get out of the Ford class. Latest car shortage: inability of auto factories to supply the demands of eager buyers. Jeffersonian Democracy flourishes most when Mr. Watson's "Jefferso nian" is out of the way. The melting of church bells and bronze statues into munitions of war indicates that Germany is in desperate straits. The editors of the Greenwood Index and, the Newberry Observer are vying with each as to which can report the largest sweet potato. We'll wager a considerable sum that Edgefield can outstrip 'em in 'possums and "taters" both. _ We heard a mighty loyal supporter of Mr. Blease say the other day that he has injured himself by his pro-German or anti-American propaganda. The su preme duty of every citizen, especially in an exigency like this, is loyalty to his country. _ _ Wonder how the insurance compa nies will explain to the legislature why the recent increase in fire rates was necessary. -Edgefield Advertiser. They will not explain. They have the South Carolina legislature whipped to a frazzle.-Greenville Piedmont. We expect to see the legislature re take its lost trenches, if any have been lost to the enemy. Should Suppress German Newspapers. Sentiment in favor of the suppres sion of newspapers printed in the Ger man language in the United States is steadily growing. The owners and editors of these papers are not only disloyal but are traitors in many in 1 stances. These German citizens, sub jects of the Kaiser, should not be al lowed to sow their seeds of disloyalty in this country. The Advei'tiser is of the opinion that such men should either be imprisoned or be deported to Germany, where they rightly belong. In a stirring speech at a New York county fair several days ago Col. Roose velt scored these pro-German publish ers in no uncertain terms, the follow ing being his language in part: "The obscene cruelty and brutality of the German armies under the ex plicit direction of the German govern ment has been of such unspeakable foulness that it is a crime against this nation and against all mankind directly or indirectly to uphold Germany; and all who do not heartily back the United States and the allies of the United States against Germany are guilty of this crime, and are disloyal to this country. "We are fighting for humanity, but primarily, we are fighting for our own country, for safety of America in the world. We are fighting on the other side of the water so that we may not have to fight on this side of the water. "Only the overthrow of the brutal and unscrupulous militarism of the Prussianized Germany of the Hohen zollerns will make this world safe either for the United States or for democracy." We have the best line of boy's and girls school shoes in this sec tion. We carry the entire line of E. C. Skuffer shoes and some other good brand3. Try a pair. Hubenstein, Trenton School to Open.

Whereas, our Heavenly Father in His lobing providence has called Home one of our oldest and most sympathetic Christian co-workers, Mrs. Isabel Ouzts; that we, the la dies of the Methodist Missionary So ciety, while bowing in humble sub mission to God's will, are deeply grieved to lose a member who bas ever been an inspiration to us by her noble, Christian life.
