f|th which Herman Kidder allied him*
be accursed. The propaganda
irhlcb he began and of which he made
jjlmself a leader has separated him
from bte countryman ? for he Is Amer*
Ian born? by a gulf that can never .be
crossed. We know now what that
(iidouh dinner to Prince Henry of Prus
litmeant. The ewe lamb oft Belgium
bleat* for Its mother ; the babes of the
tailtanln lisp, "Why slay us?" from
the bottom of the Irish Sea ; but at
leccth we know that it was planned
Ion# before, and that, as far as we
beed concern ourselves, It was planned
wholly In our despite, and that the
beginning of the plan? to organize
the colony of Germans in America and
(o convert them Into a body of Kaiser
(rvlsts? was inaugurated at that
fatal dinner. Never again, therefore,
may w? call Herman Kidder, or any
one who Huppori* the cause he has
made Ills own, either friend, nelghltor,
or fellow cttl&en. Henceforth he uiuhI
he Herman Kidder, the Benedict Ar
nold, or, still worse, Herman Kidder,
the William J uniting* Bryan of our
hlHtory.
It might have been so different.
There wan that in the relations, not
to nay the alllultles, between the lirst
coming of Germans to the United Ktatex
and the conten>i>orary Auierlcanw they
found here which made for a kind of
amalgamation. Mostly youngsters, they
were those '48 men, a Tf t tie doctrinaire
a fine fault when It inclines to lib
erty- -but they developed into men of
noble character. Among them the great
Ilerr Doctor Jacobl still survives ; and
the rest were like Jacobl, devotees of
the idea that government should rest
on the consent of the governed.
Blood Is Indeed thicker than water.
Kaclal pride rightly counts for much.
Hut it should be laid In racial, not in
dynastic, principles and iwrformances.
That is where so many of the German
Amerlcans have made their mistake,
and uo one Is quite so resj>onslble for
this as Herman Kidder.
If they had been let alone the mass
and body of them, good American cit
izens, though still Germans, would
have clearly seen that they had no in
terest, neither part nor lot, in the war
of the Kaisers ; a war of patricians
waged by patricians for German prop
aganda started by Herman Kidder and
taken up by Hugo Munsterberg to be
brought Into camp by Dernberg, sought
to mislead them as to the real Issues
and to unite them as a separate peo

ful. It proved so successful Indeed,
that the question now arises how far
they may be employed by Germany as
a garrison planted betimes in the heart
of America, if as a result of the Kais

We have installed at this mill one of the most*up-to
date ginning outfits that money can buy. It consists of
four 80-saw, ball bearing Munger gins with all the lat
est attachments. This gives us a dajly capacity of
eighty bales of cotton. .
We are anxious to gin your cotton this season and
buy your seed, and we expect to be able to meet com
petition on seed and all oil mill products. Our price
for ginning will be 25 cents per hundred pounds of lint
cotton, which we believe to be a very reasonable charge
in view of the amount of money we have spent to in
stall this outfit.
Any time you are in Camden call on us and lopk over
the outfit. We appreciate your patronage and ?will be
tfad to talk business with you. /

that the k ' W0UW understand
that the Kaiser began It to save the
Mohenzollerns, and, incidentally, the
Imperial autocracy resting upon the
I russlan dUUteriat To this end there
had been forty educational
misleading both In and out o"
The Austrian alliance was at once
an opportunity and a pretext. . Ger
many was ready. The imperial au
tocracy having built up the most per
fect war mackine the world has ever
seen, In every detail complete and
ready for use, the cry .went forth that
Germany must have her "place in the
sun." Thus- the Kaiser is responsible
for the initiation of the war. But
whatever his reasons, the aristocracy
was with him. They had no more voice
than any other class in Germany, but
they belonged to the same caste as
the Kaiser, their traditions the same.
Considering these facts and bearing in
mind that the German-Americans do
not belong in any considerable num
bers to the patrician caste, let us ask
again what possible interest had they
for metaphorically rushing to the im
l>erial colors and making the war of
the Kaisers or the General Staff? of
the iron aristocracy ? their war.
Nothing is surer than that the tri
umph _of -the arms of tin* Hohenzol
lern and the Hapeburg would fasten
absolutists imperialism, with all that
it implies, more surely a hd firmly upon
the people of Germany and Austria ;
that it would deliver a staggering blow
to democracy and republicanism all
over the world ; that, ^ble to absorb
the lesser nations, having struck down
England, France and Italy, the Kaiser
combine thus puissant would turn xipon
us and give us the fight of our life
for institutional existence. Hence the
Courier-Journal has said and will con
tinue to say "To Hell with the Hohen
7,ollerns and the Ilapsburg!"
It wishes no ill German poo
pie. It has spoken no word agalnsl
them. But the war waged by the Al
lies against the Kaisers Is as much
our war as their war ? the battle of
liberty against despotism, of civilisa
tion against savagery ? and before we
recognise the tight divine of kings and
allow the German rule that force is
the organic law, every living American
stands ready to lay down his life.

Rescued a Drowning Marine.
Beaufort, Aug. 13. ? An act of hero
ism more than passing interest has all
but escaped notice on account of th6
modesty of those concerned. A marine
named V. W. Gordon, located at the
Port Iloyal naval station, was rescued
from drowning by James L. Carberry,
son of the county farm demonstration
agent, about three weeks ago'. Mr.
Gordon was swimming off the front of
town when he was seen by some wo
men on the water front to be in dis
tress. Upon their raising an alarm
young Carbery, who was nearby in his
bathing suit, dove overboard and went
to the rescue. He succeeded in get
ting the man to the wharf when they
were botli pulled in by onlookers. Phy
sicians were summoned and worked
over the man for some time before they
succeeded In restoring him.
Young Mr. Carberry is remembered
here as the youth who was so severely
wounded by a Beaufort policeman on
New Year's eve last. He has only re
cently recovered sufficiently to be able
to BWim-fiHflrrn consideration of this
his brave and plucky rescue was com
mented on alii the more by the onlook
ers. A report has been sent to the Car
negie Hero foundation by officials of
the town, who feel that young Mr. Car
berry deserves recognition.

heads in the open ground before cold
weather.
For fall greens there is nothing bet

should- be planted by the end of August:
Cut out the flower stalks of canna
