France gaily bleeds upon her torn frontiers and counts her waning wealth of men and ,gold with still unquailing heart. Belgium, a shambles and a house of shame, superbly keeps the faith with exiled flag and king beneath the banners of a ' conquerer. Bewildered Russia groping, manumitted serf, plays perilously with sudden rights as children with a toy they do not understand. who, in the search for revelation, break the works beyond repair. The path to Austria has taken an Italian life in toll for every foot of progress made and after two years spent upon the stubborn heights, the farthest sentry on the last outposting peak is not a night removed from his nivn hnnnHaripQ Rumania struck one blow and then became a German camp, a looted realm; and Servian Peter leads his homeless waifs on alien soil. Britain in vain hurls, her full strength into the West, recruits unceasing levies for the slaughter heap. Her constant transports ply by the Seven Seas, Pathan, Egyptian, Anzac promptly answer each fresh call, and the astounding Prussian, with never an invading foot upon the Fatherland, calmly eats their st?el, presents unbroken fronts, maintains his hold from Antwerp to the Dardanelles, and insolently challenges the world from pole to .pole its might and come in arms ^gainst him. x The end of this grim war is not in sight. Whoever thinks the Allied cause is Won has read his facts amiss. We have our part to play?a sad and heavy dauntless part. We cannot, dare not, fail our ' pledges. Should Europe yield, as Europe may, before we can assert .our strength, America alone must meet the Central Powers, free tyen to devote their undivided fleets and armies to our desolation. This is the time for minutemen?for the right-minute man ?the time for the best to lead and the rest to heed; for awift f: > minds, for bold minds, for, vast audacious plans, the tirne for Uhity, for sacrifice, for action, by the f astept, clocks. We've, swore to save Dempcracy?if we delay, we may not save , ourselves?Herbert Kaufman, in The Cosmopolitan. No Better Investment. m/W' Prom whatever angle it mky MT considered, an investment by an ^ American citizen in Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps is the best investment in the world. The money so invested goes to the government; which loans sopie of it to our allies; all of it is used in one way or another to maintain. suDDort. arm pnnin and make victorious our armies ; and our allies in Europe. Surely no American money could be tpu? to a better purpose. Here is an .Investment in the power and success of our country, an investment in the... efficiency,; gtieugth, safety, and success of oar fighting men on sea and land. Are You a Slacker? j The pnbiic loathes and detest^ a alacker or deserter, and as proof of how serious an offense it is far* man on account of to evade his duty in this man- | ner punishment of the most I drastic manner has been pro; vided. Not eyery man is on the I A?U? IU?. kN4 --J !4l?<? ? - uiaK urn, uuk iwkwimmnqing this fact every man in Amerien, 1 raafdleesof age, has as solemn and serious' a part in the' win- 1 nfagof this.war as the soldiers and bailors; and the only limitto ihst'chity Is the full extent of o^>?yeeoprces and capabilities. When-a man has contributed not only his bit* but his best, then, and then only, has he any right 1 to an easy conscience. The in! intelligent and observant people ! of this country will not forgive ; the slacker. In the present I stress and strain he may not ! have any marked attention paid to him; but it will be different when the country settles down, again to its customary quietude and serenity. Then the man , who failed to do his duty will be the object of loathing and derision. His children and his children's children Will pay the price for his failure to do his duty. And it should be remembered | that the man who should be in ; the ranks and is not is not 'the only slacker. The man who is I j < i possessed 01 orain ana Drawn, and has all the qualifications of a first-class worker, but instead is loitering around and not putting one iota of energy into the great i task of preparing and keeping the nation fit for war is a slacker; and also the man or woman who refuses to conform his or her diet to the food rules, but surreptitiously lavs hold of certain kinds of foodstuffs in quantities forbidden by the government and makes unrestricted use of them on his table, or refuses to invest his savings in liberty bonds- or war savings stamps, but holds his money for investments that will yield him seven or eiffht ner OPnf nr rpfnupa give what he is able to the Red Cross or Y. M. C. A. All slackers are one and the same in the eyes of the intelligent public, no matter what the method or manner in which they attempt'to evade their duty; and the public has a contempt for all such now, and the feeling wili gather and grow as the years go by. ?Exchange. Nr. Timmons Accepts Presidency. At an adjourned session of Bethel Presbytery held Monday morning in the First Presbyterian church of Rock Hill, the petition | of the Rev. R. K. Timmons was ; granted and he was dismissed from the Presbytery to assume the presidency of Stillman Institute . in .Tuscaloosa, Ala. Mr. Timmons recently had a call to the pastorate of the First church of Covington, Va., which he had accepted but when it was learned that he contemplated giving up the charge of the Fort Mill ! church a strong and earnest appeal was made to him to take up the work at Stillman Institute and teach theology in connection with his duties as president. The Covington church withdrew i|s call and Mr. Timmons will assume the duties of his new posit ion on July 1. Stillman Institute is the colored theological seminary of the Southern Presbyterian church and its work is considered among the more important charges of the general assembly. For the past 40 years a number of the most prominent divines of the Southern Presbyterian church have been connected with its faculty as instructors, among them being the Rev. J..R. Howerton, D. D., Rev. J. G. Snedecor, I). D., Rev. A. L. Phillips, D. D., and Rev. D. Clay Lilly, D. D., and the call of Mr. Timmons to the presidency of the institution is considered a conspicuous recognition of his eminent worth and qualifications. Our Negro Soldiers.

Young men who are eligible for army duty, but who nave been rejected lor minor physical defects, are to be employed for limited military service in producing or handling equipment for the United States army. It is expected that this order, issued by Provost Marshal General Crowder, will result in 200,000 men being placed at some kind of war work and will release large numbers of fighting men for the front. The first call for men under this new plan has been made. Nine thousand are to be sent to the spruce forests of the West, where lumber is being prepared for the aviation service. Some 10,000 men of the army are nowengaged in getting out spruce timber The sending of the new men to this field will relieve a great many soldiers for active* service. - s Brilliant Marriage in Gold Hill.
