EUC I * N BE I IT A KI X< IS. Have, you eve" stopped to think that your country. Hie United Slates uf America, is engaged ill the great est undertaking in thc history of the world that when she cast her lot .?villi those nations, now for almost three \ears al war for tho triumph of v?omocrncy and the overthrow of the autocratic forms of govorumotll, she pu\ her shoulder lo tho wheel in the almos! superhuman task of overcom ing forty years of military prepara tion and forty years of training with the engines of war that have made possible the most barbarous conflict of all the ages? Have you thought Of tho billions of money and millions of lives that will yet have lo be sacrificed upon the al tar of pride and power erected by thc Kaiser? Have you ever thought of the fact that this war is for the purpose not only of escape for ourselves from the horrors of autocratic oppression, but for the liberation of the (?orman peo ?jt?e from this form that has held them bound hand and foot for centuries In military serfdom? Never was there so much of truth in the term "our friends the enemy" as in I he present conflict, when, against their wills, the democratic governments of the earth have been forced to oppose the autoc racies and their years of preparation for the subjugation of the free na tions. We are enemies to the form of Herman government, yet staunch friends of the German people. Free Germany will recognize this fact in f.he years to come, for the days of the Kaiser are numbered, and the end maybe near, mayhap far off-of au tocratic militarism is sure. Had you thought seriously of the taut that YOU have a duty to per form In this great conflict? You are too old lo light, maybe, but are you blest with more material wealth than is necessary to lill your needs? If so, you should enlist your dollars in this war for freedom. Dollars will tight, as surely as men, to the end of rbis conflict. Our young men, many of them, have gone to the training camps, thousands will soon he In the thick of the lighting across the seas. They mus! he fed, clothed, provision ed with the materials of war. Bil lions and moro billions will he needed to do this. Do your part-do it now - do it gladly. Our government has issued bonds, and these are for sale now. Be a patriotic buyer of bonds 1.0 the limit of your means.

I i nos, Esq., bas received notice fr. lovernor Manning of his appointment as tho Oconeo member of the South Carolina War Work Council of tho Red ('ross. A meeting *>f this body will be held in Colum bia next Friday, the 15th. The ob ject of this State body ls co-operation with the other States in raising at once $l(i0.000,000 for Red Cross work in aid of tho United States ?orces that will soon bo lighting; in France. Tho fund needed will amount to practlcall;, * ,,.ir capita tor every citizen of tho United States --men, women and children. South Carolina lias been assigned the task of raising $300,000 of this lund, lt must Ix- raised. Local committees will doubtless be appointed for every county and community in the State, and all will be asked to contribute to this most worthy cause. Not all can contribute as much as $1 Tor each member of the family, but each can do something, and there are thou sands in the State who will give largely, thus enabling South Carolina to meet her apportionment. Hut this work must be done; with a lull realization of the responsibility ol' each individual. Each must do his or lier part. When we stand back and walt for others to do what we should do ourselves we drive into the work the entering wedge of failure. Next week-from the 18th to the 2 Ii th-will be known as "Red Cross Week" all over the United States, and tho funds MUST BIS RAISED. The success of the national undertaking demands that South Carolina shall moot her apportionment. Let every citizen be ready to contribute, to work if called upon, and to do a full part in this groat field of service. MM)K OUT, SLACKERS! Sheriff .Fas. M.

Cou.der: I was fortunate in the opportunity of hearing au : el by Dr. John Kilman, under < ius plces of the British governn I on Sunday afternoon, the 10th. ai tho auditorium-armory. The ikoi was Introduced by Asa G. indldr mayor of Atlanta. In bis 1 I rod uv tory r -arks the mayor sai I tba Atlanta as always been luck hav ing speakers of national fa' but bad never had the honor o? ring Dr. Kelman speak to an AH; au dience before. The speaker was accompa. lo the stage by a committee of A ila's leading citizens. Among th' were Mayor Candler, Governor Mc '. ?>. the Federal Reserve Bank, : Col. W. L. Peel. The speaker s; tho British government welcou. the United States into this awful con flict, although the British em inent did not try to influence U Uni ted States into thc war, but we are fighting for a good cause. ioo raey. He paid a high trihi to President Wilson in regard to this country having nothing against the" Herman people. He said he had lived in Germany, and had to hand lt to them that Germany was a great nat ion. The war is costing the British gov ernment $31.000,000 a day, and they have lost at the rato of 1,000 sol diers a day since the war began. The speaker said the seven billion dol lars just appropriated hy Congress would last the British government 2 IO days. This as an Illustration of what the war ls costing. He also told how the soldiers would rejoice In talking about their mothers, sisters and sweethearts at home. He said the soldiers were awfully lonely when they first went to the trenches. Dr. Kelman said he bated war; that it was "worse than hell." but that in the cause we are fighting for we would shed blood and meet death: that we have no desire to have the Kaiser rule Hie world. I have beard a number of able I speakers, but Dr. Kelman is second to none that I have ever heard. The auditorium was filled 'to its scating capacity, and the speaker held tim al tem iou of the audience, from the time ho began until he finished. One could have heard a pin drop on tho floor. ? enjoyed tho address so much that I felt impelled to go up and shake hands with the speaker, and tell him I enjoyed which I did, along with a number of others.
