^THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY COUNTY CONVENTION.' j The following are the several res- i olutions adopted by the democrats of Newberry in the county convention, of last Monday: RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION. 'Introluced by J. H. Chappell. At the time the Democrats of Newberry county last assembled in convention by their proper representa- J tives, many of the nations of the i world were engaged in terrible war- j fare, men who claimed to worship the same God of Justice, Love and Peace, were shooting, cutting and slashing each other to death, women and children were 'being made hungry and homeless, and were being slauiiiitered, millions of dollars of valuable property were being destroyed, even edifices and temples entirely consecrated and dedicated to the worship of that same God of Justice, L.ove j and Peace were consumed by the' fires built by men: the civilizaton of! yhich these countries has boasted foi j hundreds of years had been turned j backward. i Through three years of this terrible : conflict on land and sea, when so ; many countries were being, one after ,1 another drawn into the maelstrom of I war and destruction, our beloved! United States of Amerca, through th? j wisdom and counsels of our Presidenr. | Woodrow Wilson, and the Congress, j and by the prayers of our peoDle, had remained neutral and was walking in the paths of peace and living happily in prosperity. A little more than a year ago, the president of this great country anu the representatives of the people of this great Democracy decided that our government could no longer sub- i mit to the treatment of our government and people, especially the rights of our citizens and our commerce! upon the hi<rh seas, and feeling that | our patience and our forbearance ha1' been taxed to the limit a state of war was declared to exist between the United States of America and the Imperial German government. j Immediately upon this declaration | V A o? morlo t Vt C* flOArvla nf VpTT_ I II CI V ili^ VCOll uiuuv 9 v i.A\^ i/vv yjiv v? 'W ? - | terry county met in large concourse ! at the county seat, and passed reso- J lutions declaring their unanimous j support of President Wilson and the congress and all branches of the government in carrying on the war in which we had engaged to a successful conclusion. By more than words have ' we kept inviolate that pledge. Re- ! gardless of birthplace, regardless of! forbears, our people have demonstr- ; ated their loyalty to the flag of our j country and to the principles upon vvhinh nnr government rests and for ! w ~ " I which princples oh** forbears fought | and sacrificed and died. We point j with pride to the fact that in a county 1 where there are so many people with ! German blood in their veins, with so! many people who are In religious principles followers of the Greatest . of all Germans. Martin Luther, ons ! ^ of the most wonderful men of God in ! t ? all ages, there has been at all times ^ a devotion to this land of the fres1, and this home of the brave, and that all our people, whatever the blood o* i their forbears may have been ars ^ united in heart, mind pr?d soul in j support of the armies a^d navy of j our country, and that we all agree; thfit "the shortest road to peace is j the road straight ahead, with no di - j vision among our people." j1 11 Three times the men. women and children cf Newberry county have'' responded liberally to the call of our 1. nation for financial support in ths ; matter of the nurchase of bonds of ^ the government to earrv on the war j ^ and each time have thev exceeded the i allotment and only on Saturday at th^ r.loeo nf tho thirrl mil thp showing was almost two to one of what the ! j govermnent asked as our part. And I when the next call comes Newberry ; county will resnond as before, for every dollar and every dollar's worth of prorertv in Newberv county is. American money and American prop- j erty. subject to the call of America, j Many of the youth of our county( are today in the camps, in the trench- j es. on the firing line, on the "waters, j and in other needful places, offering1 their time, their courage, their young | manhood, and their lives for the ds- j +Viq finer 1 el nllf C"> 11 ' V> x. tiiu u 11 Vi v/ > - i Some of these have already distingu-j ished themselves on the field of bat-; tie for bravery and courage. Especi- j ally is Xewberrv county justly proud , of that gallant hoy. born and reared , amongst us. Lieutenant William Osc? 1 Coleman, son of a member of this j convention, whose life and. service Somewhere in France shall forever I I he an inspiration to the courage of i other yonng men of Xewberrv and our whole land. And we are certain that when the opportunity for like service is offered, many numbers of the soldiers from old Newberry county will follow the beautiful example of devotion and courage set for them by the gallant Coleman. But our people must not think that the war is over. They must not feci that victory is even yet in sight. They must remember that we are battling with a determined foe. with a regular trained machine, for this is in large measure a machine war. But we will win the war and we can only -- - - i ai- - - !. J t 1 JtV. .P.-, 1 win it uy me milieu, lu.vtii, laiunui, I whole-hearted support of all our peo| pie. The brave young men in the [ army and in the navy are entitled to have and must have the backing | of the men, women and children at j home. No soldier nor sailor must g.> I hungry or without proper clothing, j Xo soldier's wife nor aged father nor j mother nor child must lack the ne! cessities of life while son, brother, husband or father fights the battles of his country. We pray earnestly that peace may soon be restored l*> the world, a peace that shall las* through all the ages, but the government of the United States must dictate the terms of that peace, for1 our confidence in our government. our president and our congress is such that we are assured that the peace which shall be desired by them will be a peace that will be fair, just and honorable to all the nations of the earth and it will be an enduring peace. This Democratic convention, speaking mainly for the Democrats of this county, but feeling that we also ex- j press the sentiments of all the people regardless of political principles, de pedge ourselves to support in every possible way and manner, our President. Woodrow Wilson, our congress. and all the officials of our government, in all measures and policies and acts looking to a final and complete victory of our country and our allies in the present world war, and we do hereby resolve, T. That we record with Treasure and gratification the fact that the people of Newberry county have responded so nobiv in the purchase of fha rmota allntfprl fn this r.OUntV and Dledge ourselves to do the same thins if another call comes. II. That our people should invest liberally *nd even to the point of 'lenv'no- themselves? in the War Savings Stamps anl Thrift Stamps being issued. III. That our people should plant abundantly of all food stuffs and should be careful in the gathering and preservation of all food anil economical in the use thereof so that f there shall hp plenty to feed not only j ourselves and our soldiers hut to suddIv our allies for it has been re- j peatedlv announced that food will win the war. In this favored land we can produce an abundance of food if we will. i IV. That in all things. by word and act, our people should support,' maintain, comfort and cheer our fighting men on land and sea. V. That v:e especially recommend fo onr people that they support the R^d Oof*. that wonderful organization. which is doing so much for the rare and comfort of our hoys who become ill and who are wounded in j the service, and that this day cash I subscriptions be taken by the members of this convention for monev to be turned over to the Xewberry county branch of the Red Cross society to be used !by said society in its noble work. | Favoring Tote for Soldiers.

"When any of us child ; ren complained of headache, usually j caused by corn Mpation, she gave u.- ; a dose of Elack-Draught, which would j ! rectify the trouble.

TTe would not be without it, j for it certainly has saved us lots of 1 doctor bills. Just a dose of Black- ; Draught when not bo well saves a , lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been i in use for many years in The treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it tow enjoys is proof cf its merit. !
