German Soldiers Desert. That some Germans are tired as individuals of the war, especially German soldiers, is evidenced by their alertness for an opportunity to leave the confines of the Kaiser's dominion. In order to prevent sol diers who arc on furlough from leav ing Germany and getting beyond reach of German authority three barbed fences, one of which is charg ed with electricity, have been erect ed along the border between Germa ny and Switzerland. But the eager ness to be relieved of further service in the army impels a large number of soldiers to go "over the top" of these crucifying barriers. German hunger in the rear and American fire in thc front is proving too much for the Huns. Must Enroll to Vote. Every citizen who stands for good government, law and order desires io see an honest, uncorrupted ballot. In fact, a Democratic form of gov ernment, that which is now being neld aloft to the world as approach ,ng the ideal form of government, s a miserable failure unless the bal ot is safeguarded from fraud and corruption. In South Carolina the primary election is protected by having each roter enroll or register in person. It behooves every citizen to see, as far is the circle of his influence extends, :hat every citizen registers for the primary election, which is to be held ;his year on August 27. If you have not already registered, jo at once to the place of enrollment provided for your club and register. , liter you have done that do not stop ;here. Urge your neighbors and friends to register. Procrastination nay deprive them of the right of suffrage. Registration is made as con venient as possible for everybody and imple time is given in which to en .oll. Therefore, if through failure to .egister, a man is deprived of voting io one can be blamed except himself. Adopt a French Orphan. One of the most distressing re sults of the war in France is the hun dreds of thousands of children that ?re left homeless, fatherless, and ma ly of them motherless. Owing to the preat drain the war has been upon France for the past four years and the heavy expense incident to its continued prosecution, caring for these unfortunate children has be come one of the great war problems. Even in ordinary times with nearly a million orphans left to be cared for in less than four years, it would be in undertaking of no mean propor tions and it is made ten-fold more difficult with war continuing with increasing fury. In order to bear their proportion of the burdens incident to the war, tiundrds and thousands of American citizens are "adopting" a French or phan. By this form of adoption they nerdy agree to undertake the sup port of an orphan, the amount neces sary to meet this requirement being ?536.50 per annum. A number of be nevolent and patriotic organizations especially among women, are like vise adopting French orphans. In the Advertiser of last week appeared a etter from the mother of a little French orphan who has been adopt ed by the ladies who compose the Edgefield chapter. D*. A. R. Through i committee in New York an effort S being made to have 20.000 French >rphans adopted by liberty-loving friends of France in America. Would not some people in Edge ?eld county like to have a part in mis very commendable undertaking? An Unfortunate Affair. "Look here," yelled the infuriated bridegroom of a day, dashing wildly nto the editor's room of the country nreekly, "what do you mean by such in infernal libel on me in your ac count of our wedding?" "What's the matter?" asked the 2ditor calmly. "Didn't we say that after your wedding trip you would make your home at the Old Manse?" "Yes," howled the newly made ben edict, "and just see how you've spell ed it." And the editor looked and read: "After their wedding tour the new ly married couple will make their home at the Old .

"A little over three tons, ma'am," said Johnny promptly. "Why, Johnny, that isn't right," said the teacher. "No, ma'am, I know it ain't," said Johnny, "but they all do it." STATE CAMPAIGN. (Continued from page One.) nest and fervent patriotic address, declaring with emphasis that loyalty and patriotism are the keynote of the campaign. He stated that this 'country is in this war to stay until the Kaiser is defeated, spending if needs be the 230 billions of dollars, this country's total resources, and raising if necessary an army of 20, 000,000. He favors no reduction of taxes but a just distribution of the tax burden. Hon. R. A. Cooper was the next speaker and he expressed sincere gratitude to the people of Edgefield county for their splendid support in the past. He stated that he is making this race without obligating himself to anyone and that hs will unhamper ed serve the whole people if elected governor. Mr. Cooper stated that he is unwilling to tell the people that he will reduce taxes when he sees no ground for basing such a promise. The appropriation for the State Hos pital cannot be reduced, as we must provide in the best manner possible for this unfortunate portion of our citizenship. The appropriations for the Confederate veterans can not be reduced, nor can that for education, aird so on down the line. He stated that he is not in favor of appropri ating money unless the tax levy is sufficient to raise the necessary amount. Mr. Cooper stated that he will never seL aside the verdict of a jury until he is fully satisfied that the jury made a mistake. He advo cates industrial education and home economics for our schools, stating that the national government will add a dollar to very dollar we spend on industrial education in our schools. He would not have the power to bring this about but would recom mend it. He declared with emphasis that the war is an issue and will be an issue until a complete victory shall come. In conclusion Mr. Cooper stat ed that if elected he will at some time come back to Edgefield and ask the people here to help him carry for ward the constructive work which he will undertake. He closed amid ap plause and was presented with two beautiful bouquets by two sweet lit tle girls, Mary Lillie Byrd and Kath erine Stewart. Mr. J. M. DesChamps, candidate for governor, followed Mr. Cooper. In the beginning Mr. DesChamps stated that the other candidates for governor would not say for whom they would vote for the United States senate, but that he makes no secret of his support of Senator Tillman. He stated that if elected governor he wiil raise taxes and no other can didate has rhe courage to take that position. Money must be increased for education. We must have more and more education. Mr. DesChamps did not mince words on any issue. He waxed eloquent at times, especial ly in his patriotic utterances, stating that his family has been fighting for France for 2,000 years. A prominent boulevard in Paris is named for the DesChamps. He kept the audience in a good humor and his speech met with hearty responses. The last speaker among the can didates for governor was Mr. John T. Duncan, and as the writer was called from the room soon after he began we did not hear him. Two candidates for governor were unavoidably absent. Hon. John L. McLaurin found it necessarv to con sult a physician as to his health and Hon. Thomas H. Peeples was called to Columbia on urgent business con nected with the oilice of attorney general. lu many respects this meeting was ideal. The best of attention was giv en each speaker and the speeches were above the average in eloquence and force. The day was pleasantly and profitably spent by ail who at tended. Notice of Elect-on.

"There can be no doubt," said Dr. Bevan, "that the greatest single fac tor we can control in the interest of the public health of the nation would be the elimination of alcoholic drink. I want to plead for the united action of tho organized medical profession of the country to secure protection by law against the injury that drink is doing our people, not as a political measure but as the most important public health measure that could be secured." He also said that for the prosecution of the war "we must organize the entire nation in the most efficient way possible, and this cannot be done without eliminating drink." One by one the big constructive forces of the nation line up on the non-alcoholic side of the question. The only big force left seems to be that of the men who make and sell the alcoholic beverages. And as the manufacturers turn to the production of soft drinks, or of alcohol for in dustrial purposes, or of any of the numerous allied products for which there is a great and wholesome de mand, they find themselves faring quite as prosperous}* as in the good old days. It is not without great significance that the American Medical Associa tion stands so strongly for dryness. In time even the brewers and distill ers may join them.-Greenville Pied mont.
