The topmost topic in a few short
weeks will be the "flu."
* * * *
This is extremely favorable weath
er for the fellow who must hold on to
his straw hat a little longer.
* * * *
With both sides unyielding, it is
a sort of "flint and steel" strike
throughout the North.
* * * *
If additional houses are not built
in Edgefield, tents will have to be
provided by the end of the year

With men's shoes selling for
$16.50 per pair in a near-by city,
what would a man do if he were a
quadruped?-Go bare-foot.
Everybody wants to see the new
> hotel going up. Unless something is
. done soon, people may have to walk
the streets some nights.
* - * * *
While the whole thing was dis
graceful, yet one can hardly help
wishing that the eggs which were
.thrown at Senator Reed were stale.
* * * *
Atlanta has won fame from a new
angle by having a street car conduc
tor "knock down"-steal, to use
..common language-one thousand
dollars in three months. .
* * * *
Wonder if those green-eyed, en
.vious Republicans are now satisfied,
the list of gifts to President and
Mrs. Wilson having been made pub
lic?
* * * *
With summer "lingering in the
lap" of autumn, there will be no in
. terim between the ice and coal bills.
Generally we get a rest between the
two seasons.
* * i *
With blank news paper selling for
$140 per ton now, as compared with
$50 per ton before the war, gives the
reader some idea of what publishers
are up against.
* * * -
Rape, murder, lynchings, strikes
and forms of lawlessness too various
and varied to chronicle are abroad
in the land. What will the end of it
. all be?
* * * *
If he can make good, Commission
er of Agriculture Algood, of Ala
bama, who has fixed the price of cot
ton at 40 cents and the price of seed
at $100 per ton, is rightly named.
* * * *
Unscathed by the World War, it
seems that riotous Americans will
consume themselves. Individuals,
classes and political parties are grap
pling violently at each others throats.
* * ? *
One reason people are not build
ing more houses in Edgefield is be
cause of the shortage of carpenters.
It requires about three weeks now
to get some one to build a chicken
. even.
* * * *
Georgia has added another indeli
ble scar to its escutcheon. Some
times we almost wish the Savannah
were broader. But seriously we do
7iot.! There are yet many good people
in Georgia.
* * * *
Thirty thousand divorces were
granted in Berlin within the past six
month?. Can it be that many Ger
man men showed themselves ter be
such brutes the women refused to
live with them?
* * ? *
This is the kind of "strike" news
paper workers are engaged in :
"Strike-for your altars and your
fires!
Strike-for the green graves of
your sires!
God, and your native land!"
* . * *
The black brute who shot dead
two officers of the law while in the
performance of their duty in Green
ville shou?d' be given a seat'in the
electric chair in the shortest possi
ble time. Society and the State gain
when such a depraved life becomes
extinct.
World Sustains Heavy Loss.
Countless sacrifices have been
made by individuals and people of
the uarth during the past five years,
but none have had as far-reaching
consequence as the sacrifice which
Ignace Jan Paderewski, the world
renowned pianist has made. People
who are capable of judging, have
pronounced him to be the most gift
ed living performer upon the piano,
the queen of instruments, and yet he
has given up his art for his country.
Poland has gained by having the pi
anist become the Premier, but the
world has lost heavily. It requires
more than one generation to produce
a Paderewski, and it seems a pity
beyond expression that he should be
?all?d upon to make the sacrifice.
Paderewski was the man of the
hour. Towering above his fellows, he
seemed divinely raised up to save
Poland for itself and for the world.
No one else could have done it and
Paderewski says that he is happy in
the sacrifice for his country.
Although it has now' been two
years since Paderewski gave up the j
; piano, let us hope that after he shall j
I have established an orderly govern- j
j ment in Poland he will be -seized with
not only an impelling desire but an 1
i irresistable sense of duty that he re- ?
j sume his place in the forefront of
? the musicians of the world. Then !
Poland will have profited and the
.world will not have lost altogether.

Great Day for Baptist Church.
Although the week appointed for J
closing the 75-Million Campaign was
fixed for November 30 to December
8, Dr. R. G. Lee announced about
'three weeks ago that he would ask
the members of his church to raise
their apportionment the first Sunday,
in October. Having completed the1
I campaign for his church early,' he !
j would then be free to assist other j
churches in the association in raising
their apportionment. '
In season and out of season (if '
there could be a time out of season
?for such work) for the past several
weeks, Dr. Lee has planned and la
bored to the end that everything be
in readiness for the climax on the
.first Sunday. At the morning hour
?he made an earnest and effective
?presentation of the great enterprise,
i greatest the Baptists of the South
have ever undertaken, and then gave
the ; lo in opportunity to state

ternoon in order to record their con
tributions, announcing that at the
night session the aggregate amount
of subscriptions would be announced.
Promptly at the appointed hour for
the night service the house was well
filled with persons eager to hear
the result of subscriptions of the
day.'Before the announcement was |
made by Dr. Lee, no one else being
in possession of the information,
many persons could read Victory in
his beaming countenance. The figuresi
that carried joy to every heart were
$51,656, which was about 30 per
cent, more than the church's quota
of $40,000, others are yet to sub
scribe. Dr. Lee announced that he
would not preach a sermon and after
singing several songs of praise he '
stood on the lawn in front of the
church and shook the hand of every
person present. Dr. Lee has been
heartily congratulated upon the suc
cess of his effor;s.

The Private Soldier.
The private soldier represents the
noblest type of patriotism. He enters
the service with no higher aspiration
than loyal service to home and coun
try; he freely casts his life in the
scales of hardships and danger with
unflinching courage. Staring fate in
the face, he prepares to stand or fall
for his honest convictions. No allur
ing promotion prompted or tempted
him to deed of valor. It was patri
otism and pride that stimulated and
encouraged him. Half starved, half
clothed, barefooted, with nothing
but a full cartridge box, a trusted
rifle, a brave heart and a steady
nerve fully describes the Confeder
ate soldier in the "sixties."
We see the private soldier at his
home in Sparta, bidding farewell to
mother and friends, on the Acropolis
and at Athens, his armor glittering
in the sun-light of a Greek day. It is
at Thermopylae that we see the Per
sian and Greek die like men. One re
joicing at a victory, the other sigh
ing over defeat, both heroes. In Gaul
with Caesar in the forum of Rome,
he proclaims a truth for which he
will die. No doubt when under pe
culiar circumstances officers and men
stood motionless in the,face of the
enemy, unable for the instant to com
prehend the situation, and some
hum He private at the critical mo
ment seized the colors and rushed to
the front shouting, "follow the flag." ?
The act proved' an inspiration and a
resolute charge swept the field,
changing the tide of the battle. ?
The private was indirectly the in
strument through which armies mov
ile ucvcr-bu-oe-iorgotten yell of
our<troops as they charged the panic
stricken enemy on the countless
fields still echoes in our ears. Its
inspiring music that rose above the
battle storm of First Mar.assas re
sounded down the bloody fcur years ?P
of the struggle, to the fields cf Ap
pomattox, where shrill notes wer2
heard as the last charge was made.
No tongue can ever describe the
electrifying and heart-stirring im
pulse it aroused. Memory withdraws
the veil that shrouds the past and re
veals a picture replete with glory
and with woe.
The Confederate soldier was un
ique, both in war and in peace. "Our
heroes" were without number or
State distinction. They measured up
to the highest standard of chivalry.
No matter from what section or un
1
der what circumstances they were
placed, the honor of their country
was fully sustained and the ^.lory
and courage of that imnr -tal host
will live and brighten w h the com
ing ages.
To be continued.

This remedy is intended especially
for coughs, colds, croup and whoop

many foreign countries. This alone

a medicine of more than ordinary
merit. Give it a trial and you will
find this to be the case. '
