United States Waits for Germany
to Start Something
Washington, Feb. 5.?While
he United States stands before
he world court of public opinon
in the anxious waiting pe
iod which will determine peace
>r war with Germany, President
Wilson is determined that there
thall be no word or deed to
merit a reproach, even from
jermany herself.
Nothing is to be dope which
s not fully justified by the law
)f Nations and humanity; noth
ng is to be done for expediency;
lothing is to clone which is not
eg-al and just
With a hope for peace and a
eadiness to meet war if it must
>e, the President has made it
dear to all his officials that the
:ourse of the United States, dificult
us it is, must be entirely
)eyond criticism.

Among the near accidents 1
should be numbered Mr. H. W.
Funderburk's failure to use the
gallon of gasoline which he pur
chased for the purpose in his 1
oil heater. For a few days atter
Mr. Vunderburk and Mr. Luke
Davis moved their goods into r
the building they now occupy ^
they used an oil heater to warm
by. The oil gave out and Mr. r
Funderburk went for more. He (
hasn't told where his mind was )
at the time, but he went to J. D. t
Redfearn's place and bought a i
gallon of gasoline. Fortunately 1
Mr. Davis discoverod the mistake
before it was poured into
the heater: Mr. Funderburk was i
probably thinking about some <
of the good ladies, *
Mr. M. M. Mullis says it was
good fun to see Ed Agerton run
on his hands and knees last Fri
day afternoon when the smoke ,
stack at his saw mill fell. The 1
mill is located on Mr. John Rob- (
ertson's farm three miles east ot
Pageland. Ed had gone down (
there and was sitting in a sheltered
nook right up close to the
fire under the boiler. Friday J
was the day the wind blew so hard
and cold, you remember, i
The other boys were trying to
work while Ed tried to keep J
warm. The wind blew the
smoke stack down, and the
noise aoove ins head caused Ed ;
to think the boiler had exploded.
There was no time to loose, so
he pulled open the gasoline feed <
and went directly into high gear ]
on his knees and hands. He
stopped before he ran over the ^
running saw, and consequently ,
no damage was done except to
his knees and mental equilib }
rium. (
Mr. H. M. Simpson walks on I
two artificial legs, but he doesn't
believe a man should beg because
he is crippled. He runs a ,
shoe shop and peanut parcher, ,
and makes his living. A year
or two ago .he was at wcrk in a
shoe shop in the basement cf
one of the building^ at-Hamlet? J
One day there were six one-leg- !
ged men in town at one time,
all on crutches and all begging.
Three of them were walking \
down street together when Hill i
Atkinson hollowed across the !
street, "Go down in the base
ment and you'll find a man with i
both legs off." After a while
one of the cripples went down
to the shoe shop and asked for i
an odd shoe. Mr. Simpson told s
him he didn't have any odd
shoes. Then he i urm?H tr? iho I
fellow and asked, "Why don't ]
you go to work?" The fellow J
gave the usual answer, "There
is nothing I can do." Mr. Simp t
son who was standing at his <
bench said, "1 am working ev- i
