Lieut. M?. F.

Zobel or Charleston came up to spend the greater jart oi the week at Helena with hi3 mother, Mrs. Louisa Zobel, and to visit his , sister, Mrs. Otto Klettner ;tnd other relatives. Fred grew up in Helena but some years ago he quit the little village and went to the euy by the ; sea, wher eh has been ever since, with tlic bir toouse o* F.

Will is and of which his brother Charles is the traveling representative. it does not often happen thai three brothers hold important posi tions sj many ears with such a iarg? tirin. Mr. Otto Klettner, the great repre- . sentative of the great council of Soutn Carolina Improvd Order of Red Men. is. receiving his share of high commendation for his "ringing appeal," as the Columbia correspondent of thv ..'harleston American describes the address, which it quotes as contained in the last issue of .Tl" \ld and News. The correspondent has somov tiling nice to say of Mr. Klettner, from which we make a brief reprodiic- , tion: "E.'e has a son who is a member of the Jonesville coast artillery , company, in which he volunteered prior to the draft. South Carolina has no more substantial citizen and none more loyal than this man who^e son may meet his uncles and cousins on the field of battle. I Mr. J. C. Kinard of Newberry, S. C, being present, Mr. Neill called on him for a word. Mr. Kinard was especial-j ly happy in the message that he brought from the South Carolinaj '.nion Rev. J. W. Carson took i charge of an "open meeting/' He ^ called on Mr. J. C. Kinard to tell whether a person who had no regular; salary or regular income should.' "tithe." Mr. Kinard said every mem-j. her should become a tither. Tithe i not only your money but your time. | Give a part of your time to the Lord. The chairman presented Mr. J. C. Kin-' ard of Newberry to ..peak on "The, ^ Call or Cost fcr New America." Mr. Kinard presented a striking address. 'His "call' to America received pro-; found attention at the hands of the I convent ion. Mr. Kinard expects to. study law or enter the ministry. "The " call" to the latter seems to me to present a much greater field or usefulness; May he be led by a divine guide. ?From A. R.

A mother, brave, heroic, deeply interested in humane work, for years 1 ' writing, speaking on behalf of peacei; and against war, writes us: 'VWj^t i' am I to do? I have an only son, twpnty^orie years old. How .. can I let him go to t^s most inhuman war in a foreiegn iand He, too. has beentrained to hate war as only a return) to savagery and barbarism." i 3 Something- of bis mother's feelings! we ca:a aPP~eciate.

W HI' SCCUiO ku Ub buv. vxuv . The litter futility of it, the Heedlessness of it,?these set over against the < unspeakable bloodshed, pain, sorrowloss that it has caused, make the horror oi' it all the greater. At first ( thought it did not seem our war. To give our son3 to be destroyed it aP-i peared like making a supreme sacri-j fice not in the interests of our country j but of those who had no real claim upon our bravest and best. Had a hostile army landed on our shores, had our homes been devastated by shell and flame, our liberties plainly imperilled, we should all havo felt the high call of duty, and though our hearts sank within us we should have sent our sons forth to die feeling it was in defense of the highest things, for which they could give their lives. But is is not true ethat our homes, our institutions our noblest ideals 1 are threatened? An ocean lies between us and the battlefields whers the struggle is going on, but is it any les3 true for all that it is onr oonflpf. and that the cause of human liberty and free institutions crushed across the ocean, we must very soon fac? ! the same foe and win or lose the batI tie? If the lire is sweeping down the | street and I can stay it by saving nty neighbor's house am I not ae tr?i7 i protecting: my own as though I had waited till its hot breath beat against my dwelling?
